Corpse collector in Conan

Ahead, Vodka suddenly felt a chill behind him.

...For a moment, the creepy feeling of being targeted by Uzo came back.

Vodka was silent for a moment, deciding to pretend he didn't feel anything. He tightly wrapped his black robe with a straight face and continued to walk towards the guest room where he rested: he was just a passerby, a passerby used as the background of the case...

Quickly walked to the door of the room.

The moment he pushed open the door and stepped into his temporary territory, Vodka breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't wait until the breath was completely relieved. Suddenly there was a flash in the corner of his eye - the moment he turned around to close the door, a familiar figure slipped in silently along the crack of the door and closed the door smoothly, as fast as a shadow following his movements.

Vodka: "..."

He recognized the person at a glance... No, there was no need to recognize him at all, he could guess who it was with his eyes closed! After all, no one would suddenly follow him into the room without saying hello.

So...what exactly does Uzo want to do? ?

Isn't he concentrating on dealing with Bourbon? !

At this moment, seeing Uzo's face up close, and then thinking about this room with only the two of them...

Vodka broke into cold sweat for a moment, took a step back instinctively, and wanted to shout "Brother!"

...It's a pity that he has a day off today, so he doesn't have any gin, so he won't be able to use this protective umbrella.

"..." Why don't you try calling Bourbon?

No, no, that might make you die faster.

Anyway, calm down first...

…

While thinking rapidly about Vodka.

Jiang Xia, who followed the door, put one hand behind his back, touched the door smoothly, and locked it with a click.

Then he looked at the vodka opposite with a strange expectation in his eyes. At the same time, the other hand struck Vodka's arm with precision as he tried to pull out the gun, hitting the numb area and interrupting the opponent's dangerous move.

Jiang Xia had met Vodka countless times and already knew his habitual hiding place of a gun.

Even to be on the safe side, before pressing back Vodka's gun, he had secretly filled the gun with puppet clay, making the gun unable to fire in time to prevent it from accidentally overturning when he was murderous... If he was shot by Vodka If he was beaten to death, he would have to take Vodka's body and use it... To be honest, he was a little disgusted.

…

Although there are some traces of bugs installed in this mansion, the bugs have now been removed and there are no other bugging devices around.

And according to the lookout of the ghosts, no one else was eavesdropping nearby. Toru Amuro was still far away in the restaurant, so it was safer to talk.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia looked at Vodka, thought for a moment, and said hello politely: "The last time we were separated was when we were in Tottori Prefecture. It's been a long time since I saw you, and I really miss you."

Vodka: "..."

miss him? Do you want to watch him get murdered by Gin for entertainment, or are you just thinking about the to-do list?

...Although I was panicking in my heart, I tried to stay calm on the vodka side.

He snorted coldly: "We all have serious things to do, and of course we don't have time to wander around like you - my eldest brother is very dissatisfied with your casual style. You'd better end this boring game as soon as possible and do what you should do." .”

There are crazy hints inside and outside the words: Now, he, Vodka, is not alone - he has already contacted Gin, who represents Gin at this time. Moreover, if something happened to him, the organization would immediately know who did it and pursue him.

After reluctantly gaining some confidence, Vodka thought about it calmly and suddenly realized that Uzo himself was not terrible.

——Simple and crude things like killing people with your own hands will probably not appear in Uzo's actions.

Moreover, judging from past reports, Uzo does not like to stay at the scene of a murder. He usually waits for the victim to cool down before making a safe appearance, completely removing himself from the murder case.

In other words, now that I am in the same room as Uzo and the door is locked, I am actually very safe.

...So Uzo suddenly came to him because he finally planned to attack Bourbon, so he wanted to come to him to get an alibi?

However, the truth is this.

But the insidious and cunning Uzo suddenly followed him into the house, locked the door, and blocked the doorway, as if he was ready to start creating a secret room... Whoever he puts on him will not panic.

Vodka is very scary.

When he panicked, he instinctively touched his waist.

——Hidden there are special weapons for use against Uzo for safety reasons, as well as a pack of anesthetic snacks.

As soon as Vodka moved his hand, Uzo's eyes followed and noticed his hand. Then he noticed the small package on his body.

After that, Uzo raised his head and looked at him, as if silently asking: What is this?

"..."

Vodka felt like a small light bulb flashed in his heart, and he suddenly became calmer.

He took out the snack bag as if nothing had happened and said casually: "I brought some snacks. Before I came here, I heard that Hirasaka did not invite chefs to ensure a 'pure environment', so... would you like some?"

As he said that, he handed over the bag, trying hard to pretend that he was just an honest person who gave snacks to his colleagues, and began to recall the successful seniors in his mind to build up his courage.

——When Belmode saw Uzo for the first time, his eyes were slightly cold, and his whole person seemed to be filled with murderous intent... In this state, he was able to successfully lure Uzo into a bar and drink together.

——Also, in Tottori Prefecture, when Gin knocked on the door of Usa's room with a sullen expression and handed over a snack box with potassium cyanide added, it looked more like a death sentence than giving snacks. …

Even then, Uzo would take the bait.

By analogy, Uzo has no reason to refuse his food...

...When Uzuo was attacked and knocked to the ground, he immediately added a hand knife to manually extend his sleep time, then packed up his package and escaped overnight, and fled back to Tokyo where there was a crowd. No more posters or anything like that.

——Previously, Vodka felt that if he just acted as a passerby on the background of Uzo's drama, there would actually be no harm and he could tolerate it.

But now, for some unknown reason, Uzo came directly to the door...

Although according to analysis, he will not be the "dead man" in Uzo's script.

But as the saying goes, he doesn't come to the door for anything. Judging from this attitude, Uzo doesn't seem to intend to let him quietly serve as a backdrop.

Vodka glanced at Jiang Xia secretly, and combined with the previous events, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had a terrible suspicion.

——This guy Uzo, maybe he wants to use him to deal with Bourbon... After all, except for him with the gun, no one else in this house is Bourbon's opponent.

... Damn it, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I’ve seen the truth.

If you get involved in the fight between these two people, there will be no good end. If you don't break it off, leave early and be safe.
