Chapter 841 It’s not about holding grudges, it’s about having a good memory

Belmode rubbed his chin with his fingertips, and keenly noticed that the woman next to Mouri Kogoro seemed a little absent-minded. Although she seemed to be chatting with Moori Kogoro, it was Moori Kogoro who was talking most of the time. The woman pays great attention to time and her eyes wander, obviously not concentrating on admiring the scenery.

Combining this with this, Uzo’s purpose of parking the car here is already very obvious.

—He definitely didn’t come to see the Dongdu Beach Bridge.

But to appreciate the cases that may happen around Moori Kogoro.

 …

 At this time, Belmod, as an audience member who took the initiative to come to Uzo, did not hide his appreciation of Mouri Kogoro at all.

She observed it naturally for a while, then looked at Jiang Xia and preemptively asked, "It's this mustache again - you seem to care about him?"

"I just thought he came by chance and was a pleasant surprise in this case, so I brought you over to have a look." Jiang Xia sat in the car, leaning on the window frame with her elbows, looking leisurely at the two people talking outside the car. people.

 Suddenly he turned to Belmode:

“What you said just now is right—it’s just that watching theater is really boring.”

 “So why not place a bet?”

“—Bet on whether he can survive tonight.”

 He raised his chin and pointed in the direction of Mouri Kogoro.

Bermod’s eyes moved, and his heart silently picked up.

She didn't answer immediately. Instead, she took out a slender lady's cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a slow puff, adding a bit of casualness to her tone: "Oh? What are you betting on?"

Speaking of which, Belmode thought slowly, when did she say, "Watching a theater is boring"?

 After thinking for a moment, she remembered—just now, she seemed to have complained about the tricks he liked to use in order to get spoilers of the new case from Uzzo.

Although at the time, Uzo seemed unconcerned and politely echoed her words.

 But now it seems...

Bermode looked at the surrounding river suburbs that were perfect for dumping bodies, and then looked at Kogoro Mouri in front of him who was so drunk that his eyelids were twitching, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

She had a calm expression on her face, but there was a faint feeling of regret in her heart.

 …shooting herself in the foot is simply a true portrayal of her current predicament.

If he hadn’t said that before, Uzo’s “unexpected” interest in Mouri Kogoro might not be as strong as it is now. And being noticed by Uzo is obviously not a good thing...

However, Belmod thought, since it is a "bet". Then, as long as she does it right, maybe she can try to fish out Mouri Kogoro from Usa's clutches.

  After all, in Uzuo's eyes, Mouri Kogoro is not a target that must be killed, but only brings a little unknown "surprise" to his murder drama.

 …No, it cannot be counted as “unknown”. I am afraid that the moment this unstable factor was added to the script, Uzo guessed the changes that would happen next.

 Otherwise, they would not have met Moori Kogoro here so accurately. —Belmode remembered that Uzo hadn’t done anything like “checking his location” just now. The only times he took out his cell phone, he just looked at the time. In other words, their encounter with Mouri Kogoro here could only rely on Usa's insight and grasp of people's hearts that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

 …

Countless thoughts flashed through Belmode's mind, and she tried to find the way to survive for Kogoro Mouri from the complex clues like a spider web.

While thinking about it, he still had to have a normal conversation with Uzo to avoid exposing his abnormality.

Bermode knocked off the ashes of his cigarette casually, as if he suddenly realized something was wrong, and said with a smile:

“Speaking of which, this bet is unfair. I don’t know anything, but you know everything—it’s like the director and the audience are betting on the next development of the plot. How can I win?”

"Director, this description is not appropriate. I just followed you out for a ride and accidentally met a neighbor uncle outside who was targeted by bad guys." After a pause, Jiang Xia changed his words under the gaze of Belmod "..." "Okay. , if you really mind, I can let you choose first."

After saying that, he thought softly: "I appeared here at this time, and met Miss Shimamura. Uncle Maori actually fell asleep on the tram before... He stopped his neighbor from drinking, but he himself became drunk and sleepy, which eventually triggered a long sleep. It sounds like It's quite a warning...but it's too didactic, which makes it boring."

“…” Belmod’s fingertips holding the cigarette were slightly numb. Uzo called Uncle Maori very affectionately, as if he was quite close to him, but the malice contained in his words was so strong.

She slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and realized one thing more and more clearly: the situation didn't seem good. Angel may indeed be a light worth protecting for Uzo.

 …But that’s not necessarily the case for Moori Kogoro.

The key point seems to be whether Uzo can understand what Kogoro Mouri means to angel, and whether he can understand the "deep feelings between parents and children."

According to Belmod's investigation, it seems that the relationship between Uzo and his deceased parents seems a bit strange at present.

On the one hand, Jiang Xia and his wife were very busy during their lifetime and often did not take care of their son. Jiang Xia was not a clingy child. Both parties were doing their own things and their relationship seemed to be very weak.

On the other hand, the couple had just died in a car accident. That night, Jiang Xia sharpened her sword and rushed to prepare for a family reunion...

Bermode once sneaked into the hospital where Jiang Xia was treated a year ago and obtained relevant files from there.

Judging from the information at the time, the fatal wound on Jiang Xia's wrist was deep and he was executed decisively. Although he was found by a neighbor and sent to the hospital before he bled to death, based on the amount of blood lost at that time, the probability of being rescued was actually very low. Even the doctor was a little confused as to how this person survived... It can be seen that at that time, Jiang Xia was not bored and came into the script, but really didn't want to stay in this world.

According to this incident, at first glance, Uzo does not seem to have no feelings for his parents.

 …But this can only represent his attitude a year ago.



 What if from then on, Uzo felt that the importance of his parents was "no more than that" and felt that they would become a "potential danger that could lead to self-destruction", and then enthusiastically wanted to help his friends eliminate this hidden danger in advance...

  coolguy’s parents are now in the United States, and Uzo can’t reach them for a while.

Angel’s mother, Concubine Yingli, does not live with them. She is usually very busy, and she doesn’t see much either…

Calculating it this way, among the four people, Mouri Kogoro, who is close at hand, is obviously the most convenient for Uzo to "do something by the way".
