Chapter 901 Vigilance Chain

The Megure Police Department did not find Takagi Wataru, so they called out again: "Sato, take someone to visit the area and look for traces of the stalker."

　　Conan: “…” Wait, this probably wasn’t done by a stalker, but by an insider at the party…

 …But the vodka was nearby, so he couldn’t say anything.

Thinking about this, Conan suddenly became confused.

 —With Jiang Xia’s insight, he must have discovered the anomaly. But why didn't Jiang Xia say anything?

Conan: "..." Was the bathtub of blood disrupting his thinking, or was Jiang Xia also aware of the abnormality in the vodka, so he was secretly alert?

If it's the latter... Conan's eyes lit up: Even if the black organization is not exposed, Jiang Xia may be able to alienate the strong man in black with evil intentions.

Thinking of this, Conan looked at Jiang Xia expectantly.

As expected, Jiang Xia was looking at the vodka.

  It's just that it's different from the "suspiciousness" and "vigilance" that Conan imagined.

—Jiang Xia looked at Vodka. There was no negative emotion in her eyes. Instead, she was kind and slightly encouraging.

　　Vodka raised his head and looked at him. Jiang Xia also nodded slightly, like a mentor gently encouraging his students to have the courage to put forward opinions.

 Conan: “…”

 …hateful vodka.

 Vodka: “…”

 …Damn Uzo.

 …

However, I cursed in my heart.

Combined with the text message he received from Jiang Xia before, Vodka understood what Jiang Xia meant now - this was to remind him, "Mr. Yamada", to maintain the image that a detective assistant should have.

“…” Vodka has no intention of enhancing his presence in front of the police.

 But on second thought, Uzo wouldn’t blatantly trick him. Although it is very uncomfortable to follow Uzo's instructions, the safety may be higher than usual.

And the longer he stays here, the easier it will be for his fake "Yamada" certificate to be exposed... Rather than just sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative and establish his identity as a detective. In this way, you can gain some credibility with the police and delay exposure.

 …

Thinking about this, Vodka mentally beat up his colleagues.

While clearing his throat, he tried to imitate those detectives. He was so angry that he stopped Miwako Sato, who was about to lead people to investigate: "Wait a minute - the state of the blood drops is a bit strange. Compared with people outside breaking in to commit crimes, this It was more like an insider committed the crime and then pretended it was a break-in."

　　Although Vodka is not very good at reasoning, he is often careless.

 But now, certain existences have activated his full potential and desire to survive.

 In addition, Vodka is a pretty good programmer after all, and can skillfully drive a variety of high-end vehicles... He has enough IQ and can think.

—At this moment, the blood drops in the corridor reminded Vodka of the scene when Gin was trying to kill someone in a poorly soundproofed place and couldn't use a gun, so he had to kill with a knife.

 Vodka said quite professionally:

"Wearing a raincoat is to block the column of blood that splashes out when the artery is cut. In this way, the blood will definitely fall on the front of the raincoat. In other words, if you wear the raincoat and walk towards the door, the blood drops will follow the direction of the door. The clothes slip off and the person is walking forward... In this way, it is easy to step on the splashed blood drops. Or the falling blood drops are blocked by the feet and cannot splash directly to the ground.

"But in fact, the blood stains in the corridor are all complete, the intervals are relatively regular, and there are no **** footprints at all. So..."

When Vodka said this, he suddenly realized something and was shocked.     "..." etc., if insiders committed the crime. Doesn't that mean that the murderer is among them? And that person must have left the living room after Miss Axun went to take a bath and before they found out that Miss Axun had her throat cut.

But Vodka remembered that at that time, because he guessed that Uzo was going to attack Kaoru Kusano who was alone, for the safety of Miss Kaoru, Vodka stared at the suspicious broker and Osamu Kenzaki like he usually did during transactions.

Hence Vodka is the most certain that the two men did not act alone during the process.

The only ones who had gone out were the other three cute idols from the Earth Lady Team—they each went out alone to change their clothes.

　　Vodka: “…” Well, doesn’t that mean that… the murderer is his idol? !

 The treasures of the Earth Lady Team are only four people in total.

 Having one throat cut now is sad enough. If I go in again...

　　Vodka: “…” How did things become like this?

It’s all my fault…

His dark eyes looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia happened to be looking at him too.

 Look at each other slightly, 0.5 seconds later.

　　Vodka looked away viciously and turned to look at Kenzaki Shu.

—It’s all thanks to two unsatisfactory bastards, Osamu Kenzaki and his manager, for letting his lovely idol rush to the front line of murder!

If the murderers were these two people, Vodka thought, then he would have held them down on the spot when they made their move.

 In this way, all the idols will be able to remain unscathed...

 …

  …"The pain of exposing the idol's crime personally, the sadness of losing two idols in a short period of time, plus the anger of wanting to beat Uzo but not dare...

 In an instant, complex emotions gathered in the heart of Vodka, an outlaw, and instantly turned into majestic murderous intent, rushing towards the two innocent men like a flood.

Conan froze and was keenly aware of the abnormality.

He looked along Vodka's line of sight, and his eyes fell on Kenzaki Osamu, his eyes slightly stern: Could this be Vodka's real goal this time?

 Speaking of which, Conan thought to himself, Vodka's detective look just now was actually quite decent...and this man's observation skills are indeed keen. From this point of view, this cadre of the black organization seems to be seriously pretending to be a detective.

Conan: "..." To be able to make this group of violent men endure and do such a thing, they must have a big motive... What is the purpose of this group of guys?

The more Conan thought about it, the more he realized that things were not simple.

 …

 Vodka's mood fluctuated briefly.

Fortunately, he was covered by sunglasses, and Jiang Xia was standing next to him. No matter how his emotions fluctuated, they were only surging in his heart and not too external.

Hence, the police’s attention was still only focused on what Vodka just said, but not on him as a person.

 …

Although Sato Miwako vaguely felt that something was wrong, considering just now, she had a history of judging "Mr. Yamada" by his appearance...

Officer Sato sighed and decided not to make random suspicions due to lack of evidence.

 She touched her chin and also began to think about the analysis Vodka had just given.
