Corpse collector in Conan

a few minutes ago.

Vodka, who was walking through the hospital, quickly noticed the little kid chasing behind him - it wasn't that his observation skills had improved much, but that he knew right away that this kid would not be able to help but follow him, waiting for an opportunity. persecution against him.

"Hmph, you dare to treat me like a naughty kid just because you have Wu Zuo behind you. I think you need a lesson - do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

With this thought in mind, Vodka dodged into the corridor, quickly carried him around his back, and then picked up Conan when he rushed over, and violently... stuffed him into a cleaning car in the corner.

When the short-legged man finally opened the lid and climbed out of the car, Vodka had already patted his sleeves and disappeared from his sight.

——If in normal times, he still has time to maintain the appearance that Mr. Yamada should have, and deal with this kid.

But now, Vodka just wants to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.

He came to the parking place, quickly checked his vehicle, and looked around in the process.

Not finding anything unusual, Vodka got in the car and started to leave.

...Then he turned a few more intersections and circled back to his original position.

He looked around furtively and saw that there was still nothing unusual around him. All the cars were still parked in their original positions. Vodka then started again and drove away quickly.

…

Two minutes after he left.

A car started slowly and quietly drove in the direction where Vodka left.

In the car, Akai Shuichi was a little surprised when he recalled the behavior of the organization cadres just now.

"When did this guy become so cautious?" He tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips, wondering, "Is this not Vodka himself, but Gin or Belmod in disguise?"

"No, that's not right. Belmod is under our surveillance. It's difficult for her to run so far away quietly, and Gin...what reason does he have to dress up as Vodka? This is simply unthinkable.

"To say the least, even if he pretended to be fake, he wouldn't have honestly stopped and come back to be the driver when Jiang Xia called him in the restaurant just now - if it were really Gin, he would just pretend not to have heard those words. Go away as usual, and then turn around and find an excuse to silence the peripheral member who exposed his existence in public. "

Combined with the man's walking posture and demeanor... no matter from which angle you look at it, the man who just got in the car looks more like Vodka himself than a disguised person.

This made Akai Shuichi once again adjust his impression of vodka in his mind: To be honest, when he discovered that the car in the parking lot at the Chinese restaurant belonged to vodka, he actually regretted not installing a transmitter and a transmitter on the car. Bug - Vodka should be one of the few people in the organization who is easy to deal with and knows a lot. Moreover, this person has a close relationship with Gin. If he can be caught, it will definitely be a big gain.

But now...

"It's really impressive to see him after three days apart." Akai Shuichi sighed silently, "Fortunately, I didn't let down my guard, otherwise, I might have been discovered by him just now."

While thinking about it, he followed with mixed emotions.

Although vodka was now out of his sight, Akai Shuichi already knew the nearby road conditions.

He didn't need to keep looking to figure out where the vodka had just gone - all he had to do was catch up to him before reaching the next intersection.

…

"Speaking of which, who was that knitted hat watching the excitement in the Chinese restaurant just now?"

On the way, while driving, Vodka remembered something that worried him.

——Compared to the seedling kid raised by Uzo, Akai Shuichi's complete "silver bullet" is obviously a target that deserves more vigilance.

"First of all, exclude Maya Hashimoto. If the guy on the first floor is him, he should have taken the initiative to help Jiang Xia the moment he looked at each other." Vodka crossed out a name in his heart:

"Then there are only two options left - Passerby A who is afraid of the cold and wears a knitted hat, or Shuichi Akai."

"It would be best if it was really just an ordinary passerby. But... with Uzo nearby, would things really be that simple?"

"And when I was stopped by that bastard Uzo at a Chinese restaurant and had to work as a driver for him, I looked specifically at the place where I saw the knitted hat, but there was no headgear there. The man in the knitted hat - if he were an ordinary passerby, he would not have left my field of vision in just a few seconds by chance..."

Various clues were put together in his mind, and finally, a thought flashed across Vodka's body while sweating.

——The knitted hat in the Chinese restaurant is probably the Akai Shuichi he least wants to see.

What's the scariest thing in the world?

It's not that you saw a fist-sized cockroach on your pillow, but that it disappeared after a sudden glance - you couldn't confirm whether it had left or quietly sneaked into your bed.

Vodka realized this feeling deeply at this time.

"Is that guy Akai with Uzuo, or has he followed me? ... Speaking of which, he doesn't know who Uzuo is at all. Then I must be more attractive to him than Jiang Xia."

Vodka forbearingly suppressed the idea of ​​exposing Uzo's identity, and could only continue to make his own calculations: "I will soon have a deal with Itakura Taku. If I bring Taili over at this time and leak the information, I'm afraid I'll have to eat Brother's gun.

"How about finding something else for Shuichi Akai to do, just like we did with Uzo, such as asking Ireland to meet? ... But I don't know what Ireland has been busy with recently. If I suddenly ask him to meet, he will definitely be suspicious. If things go wrong, I will have two enemies."

As he was thinking anxiously, he suddenly saw a luxury car on the adjacent lane, which was driving towards this side in a slightly strange way.

"Huh?" Vodka glanced casually, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "The front of the car keeps jumping to one side, and the tires are shaking a little... Is this car going to burst?"

He was very alert and passed by the car very carefully. Fortunately, nothing happened, he successfully left, and the car continued to drive forward.

"It would be great if this car could hit the potential Akai Shuichi." Vodka prayed in his heart, and suddenly he remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Oh, that Uzo guy likes to write essays on given topics the most! And if I remember correctly, just like he always lets Ireland get hit by objects thrown from high places, when he targets Akai Shuichi, his favorite theme is "car accident." "

"Could it be..."
