There happened to be a hospital nearby.
And just now, under Vodka's direction, a large group of people had called an ambulance first.
As a result, the ambulance arrived even faster than the police, who were running to the apartment on foot.
By the time the police arrived, the ambulance had already picked up Kusano Kaoru and was taking her in for emergency treatment.
A few minutes earlier, in Kusano Kaoru's apartment.
The injured person had already been taken away, there was no proper detective in the room to lead the investigation, and the group had nothing to do. The police had also told them over the phone not to leave.
In the end, everyone simply gathered by the door, anxiously waiting for the police to arrive.
Each person had their own reasons for feeling uneasy.
Among them, Vodka was by far the most unsettled.
When Hoshino Terumi called the police just now, he had actually considered quietly taking his leave before they arrived.
However, before he could slip away, he received an email on his phone.
—It was as if Uzo had anticipated his actions. He had sent him this:
[A righteous detective should not fear the police, and neither should a detective's assistant.
Please fulfill your duty as a model citizen and assist the police in solving the case.]
Model citizen Vodka: "..."
Though he felt that negative words like "cunning," "shameless," and "heartless" all fit Uzo perfectly well.
He had to admit that, in Vodka's impression, quite a number of the unlucky people Uzo had set up in the past had wandered into the trap in complete confusion without ever encountering Uzo face-to-face.
"..." In other words, if Uzo wanted to harm someone, he definitely would not directly order them to "stay in a dangerous area"
