Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 3115 3119 [Gin's Dispatching Vision]

"Brother! Brother, please think twice!"

Vodka, who had been busy for a long time, suddenly received this news, and felt that the sky had fallen. He wanted to shout at Gin like this... But on the other hand, his reason told him that things had come to this point, and given Gin's style of doing things, this mission might not be pushed away.

"But, apart from me, there probably isn't anyone else who can handle the task of 'keeping an eye on Uzo'."

Vodka took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and tried to adjust his mentality: "Brother asked me to do this, he must think highly of me... and think carefully, this mission only asked me to find out the purpose of Wu Zuo's going to Izu, and did not ask me to partner with Wu Zuo.

"That is to say, I don't need to get close to him at all. I just need to stare at him from a distance like before. I can use various clues to infer the target's actions and life trajectory from a distance. I have already mastered this skill when I was chasing Miss Yoko."

The sudden incident hit his professional field, and after realizing this, Vodka barely regained some confidence.

……

the next day.

Jiang Xia got up early, packed his luggage and went to the station.

As he walked towards the platform, among the crowd passing by, two ladies who had just got off the train covered their lips in surprise and looked at him with delighted eyes.

Soon, a message with a hint of bragging appeared in the fan group: [I ran into Jiang Xia unexpectedly when I was on my way home from a business trip. I should have gotten my hair done yesterday.]
The message was sent to the group and instantly caught the eyes of countless people.

Vermouth, who had been waiting here for a long time, laughed when she saw this, not surprisingly: "Compared to the peaceful Tokyo and Calvados, those cadres who don't appear often are indeed more attractive to that child."

After briefly apologizing to Curacao, she stroked her chin and thought about further plans.

Since Jiang Xia appeared at the station, he should be leaving. According to the plan, he can start the action now.

However, to be on the safe side, Vermouth did not immediately go to Beika Town to "accidentally meet" Conan.

She checked the spokesperson and confirmed that she was just an ordinary rich lady and not one of Uzo's subordinates in disguise. Only then did Vermouth breathe a sigh of relief.

But she still did not go out, but continued to sit at home as a "new doctor", refreshing her fan base at a high frequency.

It was not until the train to Izu left and another fan happened to meet Jiang Xia on that train that Vermouth's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

She stood up...

Then he sat back down quietly.

"Although it was an open conspiracy with a high success rate, how could I have lured Wu Zuo away so smoothly?"

Vermouth looked at the active fan group on her phone and felt a little uneasy for a moment, "Is he going to pretend to leave first, and then suddenly appear when I get to cool guy's place to give me a 'surprise'?"

"..." The more I thought about it, the more I felt that given the child's personality, this kind of thing was not impossible.

After hesitating for a moment, Vermouth pressed his brows and whispered to himself, "Don't be in a hurry. If he really left, this trip would take more than a day or two. There is plenty of time. If he didn't leave, if I go out now, it will only expose my purpose too early."

After repeating this to herself two or three times, Vermouth finally stopped thinking about going out. Like a serious doctor, she sat at the table and pretended to read the medical records, but in fact she continued to stare at her phone at a high frequency.

After waiting for a long time in agony, until the train had moved far enough away and the person who had met Uzo on the train was still sharing the news, Vermouth finally breathed a sigh of relief and realized that the time was ripe.

She stood up, drove out, and took a walk around the downtown area.

After successfully getting rid of the FBI that was following her, the Thousand-Faced Witch changed her clothes and took a taxi to the Maori Detective Agency.

When they arrived at the place, Vermouth got off the car happily. Then she looked up and saw a conspicuous "Closed" sign at the door of the detective agency.

Vermouth: “…”Hmm?

Why did it close down?

“Could it be that Maori was too lazy to do business these days, so he went to bet on horses or play pachinko?” Vermouth suppressed the bad premonition in her heart and tried to think positively.

However, before he could come up with the idea, he saw a head popping out of the Poirot Cafe downstairs from the detective agency. The female clerk saw the customer peeking out of the door of the detective agency and said enthusiastically, "Detective Maori and his family are out traveling. If you have any commissions, you can go find another detective."

Belmode: "..."

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Do you know where they traveled?"

"Hmm..." The female clerk thought for a moment, "It seems like they said they were going to Izu!"

Vermouth's head buzzed.

——She thought about “Wu Zo ignored the news”, thought about “Wu Zo pretended to leave but didn’t”, thought about “Wu Zo had already left and then made a surprise comeback”... She thought so much, but she actually forgot that Wu Zo would pack up and take her investigation target away!
"That child is really..." Vermouth gritted her teeth, her heart in turmoil.

But on the surface, she could only maintain the demeanor of a passerby, nodded calmly to the clerk, and said goodbye calmly, so as to avoid any misconduct of her leaving an impression on the clerk, which would lead to today's events being heard by Uzo.

After leaving this sad street, Vermouth took a deep breath, raised her hands to pat her face, and turned to walk towards the next street.

"It's not a big problem. The Maori family is indeed gone, but Cool Guy has been living here for quite some time as Conan. As long as we search this area carefully, we will definitely find corresponding traces."

The Thousand-Faced Witch did not admit defeat, and the next target of investigation quickly flashed through her mind: "Then let's skip the Mori family and go to the home of Professor Agasa that cool guy always goes to."

Compared to Maori Kogoro, Conan and Dr. Agasa might have a closer relationship. But Vermouth had never come here to investigate before, for no other reason than...

Stopping at the door of Dr. Agasa's house, Vermouth slightly tilted her head and her eyes fell on the courtyard next door.

——That is Jiang Xia’s yard.

The elegantly designed house was quietly located in a fence of moderate height. The grass and trees in the yard were neat and tidy, which should have been a peaceful scene. But for some reason, Vermouth always felt as if there were countless eyes hidden in it.

Vermouth: “…” I really don’t want to come here… But the more dangerous the place, the easier it is to get clues.

Thinking of this, Vermouth pretended to be a guest, came to the door and rang the doorbell.
