Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 358 Vodka: Uzo Killed Pisk! (joint chapter)

At present, Haibara Ai has not been able to make a complete antidote, but has already created several antidotes with different side effects and durations.

The one she just picked was the one with the shortest lasting effect and relatively mild side effects.

The reason for choosing this medicine was that Hui Yuan Ai felt that it was best for her to return to her child's body as soon as possible after climbing the stairs.

After all, if Pisk was detained in time, the other members of the organization present had not yet received the information of "adults becoming smaller", so naturally they would not pay too much attention to a child.After she escapes, even if she no longer lives in Dr. Ali's house, she can escape to other places.

Naturally, Jiang Xia, who has seen and is familiar with her two forms, is not counted among the "other organization members" in Hui Yuanai's mind.

Every time she classifies, she will subconsciously distinguish "Jiang Xia" from "organization members".Although to her, the two exude similar auras, but there are other things in Jiang Xia that members of the organization do not have, which makes Hui Yuan Ai still unable to treat the two together.

……

She plucked up the courage to finish taking the medicine, and subconsciously glanced at the laptop placed on the wooden table.

This should be left by Pisk, and there are countless valuable materials hidden in it.

But at the same time, referring to his previous life experience in the organization, Hui Yuanai suspects that this computer is equipped with a locator, and it would be a disaster to take it away.And there is no medium on her body that can copy the data...

Hui Yuanai looked away regretfully, then walked towards the door without stopping.

Her goal is to clean the cardboard boxes on the cart by the door.Along the edge of the carton was a set of cleaners' clothes—when she got bigger, the baby clothes she was wearing now wouldn't be able to wear them anymore.

When walking in the wine cellar just now, Hui Yuan Ai noticed this box. It may be that she has a subconscious survival instinct of "growing bigger and fleeing along the chimney". From now on, she has paid special attention to the clothes in the box. Once he decided to escape, he immediately thought of the location of the clothes.

However, when he endured the high fever when his body grew bigger, and dragged out the suit, Hui Yuan Ai suddenly felt a little heavy in his hands.

Immediately afterwards, a "click" sound was heard.

——There seemed to be something heavy on the cleaner's clothes, and as she dragged the clothes away, the thing fell gently to the bottom of the box.

Hui Yuanai stepped forward suspiciously, tiptoed to the edge of the cardboard box and looked inside.

When she saw what was inside, she froze for a moment.

...it turned out to be a body armor.

However, what made her stunned on the spot was not this special protective clothing, nor was it the strange occasion where the clothing appeared, but a piece of paper on it.

...It turned out to be a piece of paper with a "Z" pattern printed on it. The pattern is complicated and simple, very familiar!

Hui Yuanai picked up the clothes hesitantly, and took a closer look at the piece of paper.She had seen tattoos of the same shape on Xiao Bai's neck, and Miss Unknown had similar tattoos under her eyes.

How can there be such a mark here? !
Could it be that she guessed wrong, that it wasn't Pisk from the Black Organization that stunned her and brought her here, but someone from Anonymous? ?

... No, this guess should be wrong, some places are very inconsistent.

If Anonymous wanted to catch her, he didn't have to wait until now.

And she remembered that the hand that held her was very old, dry and wrinkled.According to Conan's speculation about the Anonymous organization, Anonymous seems to be an organization composed of APTX4869 victims, and there should not be such aged members in it.

After taking the antidote just now, coupled with the impact brought by the piece of paper with the word "Z" on it, Hui Yuanai's body temperature became higher and higher, and the thoughts in his mind became more and more confused.

Gradually, she could not stand still, panting violently, and bursts of strange white gas began to emerge from her body like steam.Immediately afterwards, with several violent contractions of the heart, she felt that her body, fingertips, and even every cell seemed to be expanding violently, as if she was about to explode from the inside at any time.

Hui Yuanai held the piece of paper tightly in his hand, let out a near-death cry from his throat, and knelt down against the wall.

……

1 minute later.

Hui Yuanai silently got up again, and changed into the cleaner's clothes without incident.

...Although the antidote has not been tested on humans, but so far, it seems that the medicine she made seems to be quite reliable, and it will be fine after a while after the change... But the physical sensation at that time was really scary, and I thought I was going to die just now .

After Hui Yuanai got dressed, he glanced complicatedly at the body armor and the piece of paper in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put on the body armor together, and kept the piece of paper close to his body.

Then she didn't climb the chimney immediately, but walked quickly to the open computer on the table, and hit a key casually.

The screen lights up, and a familiar interface is refreshed on it.

...is the interface of the organization.

In this case, the person who arrested her should indeed be a member of the organization.And judging from the old skin, that person is not Jiang Xia, not Gin, nor Gin's big follower...Since she only knows that there is a "Pisc" present, let's call him Pisc first... ... Hui Yuanai thought to himself.

After confirming this, she didn't waste time to crack the code, but after hiding the original child's clothes, she quickly ran to the chimney, preparing to escape.

Without the interference of the uncomfortable state before becoming bigger, Hui Yuan Ai's thinking is much clearer than before - time is running out, no matter who the person who arrested her to the wine cellar is, and it doesn't matter whether Pisk is from the organization or anonymous The people who belonged to Anonymous, or the undercover sent by Anonymous to organize... In short, the only fact that can be clearly seen now is that Anonymous put the body armor and the piece of paper representing their identities into the box.

The body armor is adult size.

If Anonymous had observed the progress of the antidote secretly, he must have known that she could turn back into an adult.

Combined with the chimney in the wine cellar here... This shows that the Anonymous people seem to support her to escape along the chimney.

Helping her tactfully in this way, instead of directly coming forward to save her, maybe it was because of the inconvenience of Anonymous, or maybe... this is the test given to her by Anonymous, the one that accepts her if she passes it?
As soon as this idea popped up, it was like sparks hitting dry grass, and it magnified loudly, making Hui Yuan Ai feel that his confused future was suddenly illuminated.

——Piske may not be caught by the police, even if he is caught and put in prison, he may not pass information to the organization through certain channels.

And the organization has "Xue Li"'s information from childhood to adulthood, which of course also includes her childhood photos. Once the information about her shrinkage is sent back to the organization, there will be endless pursuits waiting for her in the future.Even if they escaped for a while, maybe one day in the future, those bloodthirsty scary crows will suddenly find the doctor's house and silence everyone.

But if you follow Anonymous... Anonymous has never shown any fear of the black organization, and the information is so well-informed that it often makes people panic. In addition, they have a deep understanding of the organization, and even know the existence of APTX4869.

On the other hand, the behavior of Anonymous seems to be very different from that of the Black Organization.As a mysterious organization, Anonymous' methods are much gentler. In addition, they clearly know the location of Hui Yuanai, but they have never taken any measures against her. Even, perhaps considering her mood, they all sent Xiaobai came to contact...

The more Hui Yuanai thought about it, the more excited he became.

She subconsciously began to evaluate herself, trying to convince herself that she was worthy of this organization-she was a scientist and knew a lot about APTX4869 and related fields of drugs, as for some other unique requirements...

Haibara Ai thought about his own face that he had seen in the mirror, and felt that he should also be able to meet the standard.

After thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a little ashamed.After living so long, I thought that I only relied on my talent to make a living, but I never thought that I would rely on my face in the end...

No, in addition to her face, it probably depends on her will to survive. This may be one of the reasons why Anonymous did not show up to save her, but only left the body armor.

...If she is qualified, will Anonymous take her?

Haibara Ai touched the rough inner wall of the chimney, took a deep breath, tried to support herself with her hands and feet, and slowly moved upwards.

Just getting used to this strenuous posture, suddenly, she didn't know if it was an illusion, she seemed to hear the heavy sound of leather shoes falling on the ground in the quiet and empty corridor outside - it seemed that someone was walking this way step by step Come on, not just one person.

Hui Yuan Ai suddenly thought of the computer on the table in the wine cellar that seemed to be equipped with a transmitter, held his breath, and his hands and feet felt cold.

……

a few minutes ago.

After Hui Yuanai woke up from the drug and the police's investigation of the seven people holding purple handkerchiefs came to an end.

Gin's black Porsche finally grinds through the snow and pulls to a nearby curb.

He and Vodka got out of the car, left and right, and slammed the door.While walking towards the Kuwado City Hotel with a clear goal, he dialed the phone.

However, the outgoing call was not answered.

Gin quickly put down his hand and put the phone back into his pocket.He walked through the shadows that the street lights couldn't reach, and walked into the hotel gate with vodka with a gloomy face.

At this time, the main hall and corridors of the hotel were still full of reporters who wanted to get first-hand information.

The two men in black quickly passed by a group of people also in black formal suits in a low-key manner, and stopped in front of a silent staircase.

Vodka looked at the light spot on the phone screen representing the location, then turned to look at Gin: "Boss."

The positioning is flat, but the building in front of you is three-dimensional.

Gin recalled the layout of the hotel, pondered for a moment, and stepped down the stairs. He remembered that there was a rarely used wine cellar underground.

This is not in the organization's plan.

However, Gin felt that if Pisk came up with some kind of Plan B, the wine cellar would be a good place to hide the corpse, hide or transfer it.

On the way to the wine cellar, Vodka checked the mailbox again, and Hui reported: "They still haven't replied."

After a pause, Vodka put forward some speculation mixed with private goods: "Could it be that Uzo killed Pisk? Pisk has always disdained to listen to our orders. Although you told him not to go to Uzo, But in case he can't hold back..."

Vodka made a comparison in his mind between the relatively old and fatuous Pisk, and Uzo, whose murder method was beyond his comprehension, and therefore seemed extraordinarily unpredictable.

As for Pisk, a veteran hero, Uzo, who killed him, would definitely not be able to please the boss.In addition, for Qin Jiu, killing teammates who have done nothing wrong on the way to the task is a very irresponsible performance of not prioritizing the task and satisfying his own selfish desires. The elder brother hates this habit the most... Haha, go ahead and do it, Uzo!

Vodka secretly cheered Jiang Xia up in her heart.

Gin glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth, but ignored him.

Today's task is very important, and he has said many times in advance that hunting is prohibited, Uzo should know how to measure it.

And the most important thing is that Uzo's way of killing is different from most people in the organization. There is a process of guidance, which takes a certain amount of time.In addition, Uzo seems to like to pursue that kind of artistic effect, he will not let the target die in a dull and boring way, especially for such a heavy prey like Pisk, it should be worthy of a fancy enough killing method.

And once this happens, the commotion in the hotel lobby is definitely not just to the extent just now.

That said, Pisk should still be alive.

Since the two lost contact at the same time, it is more likely that something went wrong when Pisk killed the man. He was targeted by the police, and Uzo may have been found by the police again. He was acting as a detective to solve the case at this time, but It's not easy to sell teammates, so it has been delayed until now.

...old trash.

Gin let out a dissatisfied cold snort.

……

The steps down are not too long.

Before he could think of more possibilities, an old door with the color of a log appeared in front of him.

Vodka glanced at the flashing signal point on the screen and compared the location: "It should be right here."

Gin nodded and turned the doorknob.

The knob clicked, but the door couldn't be pushed open—it was locked.

That's not too surprising.Gin backed away a little, and raised his chin towards the vodka.

Vodka immediately understood, put away the phone, shot the door lock, and then smoothly pushed the door in.

The wine cellar wasn't too big, and the two of them took a few steps sideways and took a look around the entire room.

There was a small cart with empty cardboard boxes by the door.

Gin looked down and found a piece of Shirley's hair on the ground next to the carton.

...enough Shirley's hair was found today.He didn't pick it up again, but continued to look forward, and saw the table placed in the center of the room and the computer belonging to Pisk on the wooden table.
