Conan’s Corpse Picker

"And what does Tequila's death have to do with me? Our most recent intersection is that we worked together to find that programmer two years ago."

While wondering, Vermouth unfolded the email and read it in detail - Gin is not the kind of person who has a lot of free time, and his every move must have a corresponding meaning.

As she read, Vermouth's brows gradually frowned.

"When Tequila died 'accidentally', a famous detective 'passed by' the scene... As expected, Gin also discovered that the incident was the work of Jiang Xia.

"Wait, what is this? A diary? "

Vermouth clicked on it and read two lines, then remembered - this seemed to be the diary of the genius programmer.

Speaking of which, the plan of "sneaking into the room and moving items to force Itakura Taku to surrender" was actually her idea. When Tequila sneaked into the room, she also reported the situation to her, including this diary.

... But Tequila didn't say at the time that there was a hidden diary behind Itakura Taku's ordinary daily routine as a programmer.

...

"So that's how it is. Gin should have guessed that the 'mysterious woman' who was talking to Itakura Taku in the diary was me, so he sent this email to warn me to be careful about what I say next time."

It's just a warning, Vermouth didn't take it to heart - she cut out the conversation she had with Itakura Taku separately, which was neither illegal nor against the rules, and most people couldn't understand it at all. In terms of keeping the organization mysterious and low-key, she actually knew it.

But...

"How did Gin suddenly find something wrong with Itakura Taku's diary? Did something happen to Itakura Taku? "Vermouth thought:

"Besides, if something happens to Itakura Taku, why did Gin send me an additional report about Tequila's death in an explosion? Is it a simple threat, or..."

For some reason, she always felt uneasy.

Thinking about the other person involved in Tequila's death report, Vermouth suddenly had an idea, took out her phone, and clicked on the news push.

Soon, a news report about "a genius programmer and CG artist was brutally murdered by a friend" appeared in front of her.

...

"The body was found at around 5 pm yesterday, and the case was solved at around 6 pm..." Vermouth's heart moved, "Wait, isn't this when I ran into Uzo yesterday?"

"It turned out that before he solved the fishing case with me, Uzo had just left another stage? Strange, his cases have always been reported quickly, but why did the murder of Itakura Taku, which happened yesterday, not come to light until today? "

Although Vermouth's understanding of Jiang Xia is not as detailed and comprehensive as Vodka's, the strange time difference between them still attracted her attention.

"Something is wrong, very wrong."

Vermouth pinched her fingertips, stimulating her thinking with the slight pain.

What concerned her more was that during the interval between the two problematic cases, Wu Zuo was with "Edogawa Conan", and their way of getting along at that time was obviously different from usual.

"I remember when I met Wu Zuo yesterday, he seemed to be looking for Cool Guy to ask for something..."

In addition, when she was investigating the hammer murder case with Jiang Xia as "Dr. Shinde" yesterday, she clearly felt that someone was following her. Later, when the case was closed, she found out that it was a few reporters.

At that time, Vermouth didn't care, but now she thinks that it was probably because of the sudden second case that the case of Itakura Taku was successfully concealed until today.

"It's too strong, the traces of the script are too strong... and I didn't find it until now. "

I didn't feel much when I was there yesterday, but now thinking back, Vermouth broke out in a cold sweat.

Although she hasn't figured out what Uzo is doing, she has already felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

After thinking for a moment, Vermouth picked up the phone and pressed a number.

--This is Gin's call.

"Gin should know what happened last night." Vermouth took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and planned to get some information from Gin.

However, her fingers had already moved to the call button, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally stopped.

"No, Gin is not a fool, and he knows my character very well. If I call him as soon as his message comes, he will definitely notice my abnormality immediately and then reply to the action last night. "

"And if it is true as I thought, what happened last night also involved Cool Guy, then my call will push him into hell like yesterday's obstruction. "

Although there is no evidence, Vermouth has a vague feeling that helping Conan stop Uzo yesterday seems to be an extremely bad choice.

It's as if Uzo laid a stage in front of her that she didn't want to see, and let her pull open the curtain with her own hands.

"Fortunately, there is no news about "primary school students being killed" at present."

Vermouth sighed: "Look at it from a bright side, Cool Guy is not the first time to be involved in danger related to the organization, but it cannot be ruled out that this is Uzo's warning to me..."

It seems that the progress of arresting Shirley will be postponed until she confirms Uzo's attitude.

Thinking of this, Vermouth deleted the number on the call interface and called someone else.

"Calvados." Vermouth called out the code name on the other end indifferently, "The situation has changed. Don't go back to Tokyo yet - stay in Osaka for two more days. I'll find you when I figure out something."

Calvados was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

After several seconds, until Vermouth got impatient, his voice came from the receiver: "Okay."

...

Osaka.

After hanging up the phone, Calvados looked at the newspaper on the table and the young and handsome detective in the newspaper, and slowly frowned.

"Yesterday evening, he just solved the case with my goddess, and today she got into trouble, and her mood was more anxious than usual..."

Calvados' eyes gradually turned cold, and he slowly wiped the gun in his hand: "What did this detective do?"

Although it seems that the beautiful lady doesn't want him to interfere too much in the unknown "plan", but men should take the initiative and can't wait for the lady to propose everything.

"It seems that when I return to Tokyo, I have to meet that famous detective in person."

With a few clicks, Calvados assembled the gun in his hand: if necessary, he would not mind delivering a bullet to make that annoying "righteous man" disappear from the world forever.
