After focusing his attention on Jiang Xia for a moment, Bellmode suddenly had an idea:
In order to understand Uzo's psychological state, Gin had sent her a lot of information... Speaking of this, before she came to Japan, Gin had clearly been urging her every now and then to ask her when she would arrive.
, so as to intervene in Usa's increasingly dangerous mental state as soon as possible. Why is it that now that she has really returned to Japan and can accept Usa, Gin no longer mentions this matter? She also wants to see more of Usa's condition.
Although no obvious abnormalities have been found so far, but...
Wait, no, that doesn't seem to be the point now.
Belmod pressed the center of his eyebrows to bring his thoughts that had wandered off halfway back to the topic.
...In short, the exclusive information that Gin passed to her gave her a deeper understanding of Uzo's "murder" methods than ordinary people.
She knew that Uzo was very good at using the target and those related to the target, combined with the surrounding environment, to quietly guide a murder that at first glance seemed very natural.
Judging from mission records, sometimes Uzo's guidance process takes a long time - some victims suddenly kill or are killed weeks or even a month after coming into contact with him.
But other times, the cycle is very short: the target just met Uzo almost an hour ago, and the murder will start immediately an hour later.
Such a short period of time seems incredible at first glance, but upon closer inspection it seems to make sense: in Belmod's impression, in quite a few cases, the perpetrators who had accumulated a lot of resentment actually suddenly and impulsively committed the murder.
Most prisoners have a desire to survive and want to avoid punishment after killing someone.
If at this time, they suddenly have a flash of inspiration due to the actions or conversations of "someone" nearby, discover some items that can be used, and then plan a plot to kill, then this short guidance period is entirely possible.
...As for how Uzo specifically hinted and how he made those people have "a flash of inspiration", this should be his secret and talent.
——There is no shortage of geniuses of all kinds in the world, and Uzo must be one of them, but the direction of genius is a little less legal... Well, in short, if everyone can understand the principles and the process.
, Wuzuo will not be so appreciated by insiders in the organization. So she cannot see through the mystery of guidance, which is actually normal.
To this day, Belmode feels that Uzo's killing method is very strange.
In fact, if the organization had not arranged several targeted killing targets or tasks, and Uzuo had completed them one by one on time, then just looking at the case reported by the outside world, she would have never imagined that Uzuo had tampered with it, and she would only feel that
The organization was too lucky, or the deceased was too unlucky.
At this time, in the studio of Gomera, who had just died.
Belmode recalled all the details about Uzo, and combined with today's events, she suddenly realized that perhaps now, she had personally experienced Uzo's killing methods, and accidentally stepped into the layout he weaved.
——If you think about it, you can find that when Bourbon broke into the studio with a takeout bag and then left with her threatening each other, Uzo did not catch up immediately, but after a long period of time, he
Appear leisurely.
During this period of time, Uzzo was able to contact other people in the studio and exert corresponding influence on those people quietly. Then he took advantage of the situation here to create some situations that he was happy to see.
Uzo came downstairs to look for them just now. Rather than starting a fight, it was actually more likely to stop her in time to ensure that she could not appear in the staff's sight before the murder occurred. In that way, even if Kamei
She was with Uzo when the producer died, and it was impossible for her to obtain the "alibi" from Uzo's mouth.
Thinking of this, Belmod couldn't help but glance solemnly at Jiang Xia next to the policeman.
It happened that Jiang Xia was also looking at her.
The two sides looked at each other, Jiang Xia subconsciously raised the corners of her lips and nodded towards her, looking quite happy.
Belmod didn't know if this was her illusion. In short, for a moment, she felt a pinprick-like sense of crisis - when Uzo looked at her, he looked at her with the eyes of a prey. It was like
In his eyes, Belmod was not a member of the organization who was equal to him or even more senior than him, but a delicious meal.
Belmod's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly adjusted his mentality.
...You can't be careless just because Uzo's appearance doesn't look threatening.
After all, if you think about it rationally, this is a member who successfully obtained the organization code name not long after he entered the field of vision of the organization cadres, and now, he is not even an adult yet.
——Belmode pursed his lips, trying his best to suppress the instinctive closeness and relaxation every time he saw Uzo, and carefully tried to figure out Uzo's motive for committing a murder at such a time.
...Is it because of interest, as Gin said?
Still don’t want to see Bourbon conflict with her and are trying to divert attention?
Let’s put aside speculations like interest that are full of subjectivity and chance.
As for diverting attention, this seems to have little effect: Uzzo should not know whether there is a relationship between her and Bourbon, or whether they know each other, so it is difficult to determine what actions the two will take after leaving the studio together. If
She and Bourbon were determined to take action. When the murder happened on the top floor, there would be another murder downstairs at about the same time. There was no time to interfere...
Perhaps the issue of tension can be temporarily eliminated.
So, there is one possibility left...
Among everyone present, it was obvious that she, the disguised "Toru Amuro," had the least ability to withstand scrutiny of her identity and the least wanted to deal with the police.
...Could it be that Uzo wanted to take advantage of the chaos to send her in?
Of course she didn't kill the producer who deserved a beating, but as long as the "evidence" and reasoning seemed real enough, she would probably be asked to go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation - the record as a witness was relatively easy to escape, and she was treated as a suspect
It would be troublesome if someone took it back.
If ordinary organization members encountered this situation, they might have appeared on the silence list received by Gin... Uzo had just joined the organization not long ago, and he rarely had contact with organization cadres. Even if he knew "Belmod"
"She will be treated specially by the boss, and she probably lacks a correct understanding and grasp of the actual situation... Is Uzo trying to kill her with a borrowed knife to get rid of her?"
Belmode frowned slightly, feeling very complicated.
On the one hand, she was instinctively angry at this intention that threatened herself, and instinctively wanted to fight back.
But then think about Uzo’s possible reasons for doing this…
Last time, she got Uzuo drunk and took her to her bed, and Uzuo simply retaliated by "forcibly pushing the inconvenient pot to her side."
But this time, his attacks were obviously much more ruthless than before.
In Bermod's view, this must be because when she first met Usa, she repeatedly asked about Kudo Shinichi under the guise of "finding a loophole in Gin's work." That time, she could still use Gin.
As a shield, the two times she came into contact with Uzo in disguise, she happened to meet the Young Detective Team at the same time.
Therefore, in Usa's eyes, she must now be an organizational cadre with ulterior motives who comes to the Young Detective Team... The Young Detective Team, of course, also includes Kudo Shinichi, who has shrunk.
For a moment, Belmod felt like an undercover agent being chased by his real teammates. While running away in embarrassment, he was so angry that he had to applaud the other party in his heart, praising Uzo's handling method as reasonable and even perfect for her.
expectations.
Next to him, Jiang Xia finished answering Officer Sato's questions.
He was about to check out the paint footprints left by Gomera, check in near the evidence point, and check the progress bar of the case based on the situation.
But when he turned around, he happened to look at Bermod who had transformed into Toru Amuro, and saw Bermod's eyes that were extremely complicated, including anger, relief, entanglement, helplessness, etc.
Jiang Xia: "?"
After a brief pause, before he could make an in-depth analysis and understanding of Belmod's eyes, "Toru Amuro" suddenly looked away, no longer looking at him, but looking at the studio to himself, his eyes falling on it from time to time.
At the entrance to the corridor, prop models, etc., his eyes were focused, as if he was thinking.
Jiang Xia: "...?"
When he went upstairs just now, didn't Bellmode still have a provocative smile after a successful prank? Why did he become so serious in the blink of an eye?
I really want to crack open the brains of the monsters and see what is inside...
Jiang Xia shook his head, stopped his dangerous thoughts, and walked to the corpse as originally planned. He planned to look at all the more important evidence and collect materials that could be used to solve the case.
But this time, he decided to slow down the speed of solving the case and see what Belmode was planning first.
…
Belmode's goal is very clear.
She first looked at the exits in all directions and confirmed the worst-case escape plan, which included climbing along the chassis and bulges on the outside of the floor to leave.
As for the method of escaping by "disguising herself as a passerby while others are unprepared", Belmod didn't give it much thought - since Uzo had already made a response, there was no way she could escape so easily.
After feeling confident, Belmode shifted his focus to a more peaceful solution.
——Find the real murderer.
In her impression, in order not to arouse suspicion, Uzo would always start reasoning after actually looking at all the evidence.
Compared with other detectives, this period of verification time is by no means long, but it is still a rare free time after all.
As long as during this period of time, enough evidence is produced to prove the innocence of "Toru Amuro", her identity can be changed from a suspect to a detective, and she can make an appointment "definitely next time" when she is invited to the police station, and then
Take advantage of the trend and leave everything else to Bourbon.
Thinking this, Belmod's eyes quickly fell in the direction of the warehouse.
