Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 110 Kidd is also a worker and added to the leader [Full Stack Susu]

Conan was looking at the notice letter in his hand, trying to decipher the information left by Kidd.

Kidd likes to guess charades in the teaser letter-his time of committing the crime and the location of his appearance are skillfully hidden in the text.

As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly heard Suzuki Sonoko happily shouting "Jiang Xia!", Conan was startled, and quickly regained his senses.

A second later, he calmly took out the sound-proof earplugs he just bought, and stuffed them into his ears—he bet 1200 yen that Jiang Xia's first words after walking over were definitely "I read the invitation letter yesterday, I feel like Kidd will show up at ××× at ×××××” or something like that.

However... Jiang Xia didn't say anything.

This classmate just nodded and greeted Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.

Then he walked to Conan's side, and patted him on the shoulder with an expression of "I'll leave it to you!"

Finally, he sat silently in the corner, on the sofa for entertaining guests.

……

Conan: "...?"

Well, the bet was lost.

I would like to bet and admit defeat. It just so happens that the booklet of "Detective Zuo Wenwen" is on sale today, so just spend 1200 yen to buy it.

Conan quickly settled his bet.

Then he happily took off the earplugs and ran to Jiang Xia's side - seeing Jiang Xia's taciturn and listless appearance, he must have failed to solve the puzzle!

... So many times, when facing Jiang Xia, Conan felt for the first time that "everyone is standing on the same starting line", and he rekindled his fighting spirit.

Conan remembered the way Jiang Xia encouraged himself just now, and he followed suit, patted Jiang Xia's forearm on the armrest of the sofa, and promoted the competitive spirit: "Don't be discouraged, let's compete and see who can solve the problem he gave first." Puzzle."

"Puzzle?" Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Conan, his eyes fell on the note in his hand.

It was a copy of Kaito Kidd's notice letter - the original was torn to pieces by Sonoko Suzuki's father in a rage, so he had to put it together and make a few more copies.

Suzuki Sonoko also sent a copy to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia remembered that the content on it was:

【April fool
when the moon separates two people

in the name of the dark star
invited to the waves
I will drive there]

Jiang Xia said without interest: "Oh, you said this."

"Yeah..." Conan listened to Jiang Xia's tone, and recalled his attitude towards the notice letter, suddenly became alert, and vaguely had a bad premonition.

He reached for his earbuds again, but it was too late.

Next to him, Jiang Xia sighed: "Kidd probably wants to say that he will appear on the roof of the Cup House Hotel after 0 o'clock in the middle of the night, and no later than 04:30 in the morning."

Conan, who had just squeezed the earplugs before he could push them into the ear canal: "..."

...Can you speak more slowly next time!

……

Jiang Xia had seen Conan's earplugs a long time ago.

So when Conan asked him "Kidd", Jiang Xia broke the answer neatly, secretly hoping that Conan would not waste energy on the strange thief and concentrate on doing what "Conan" should do.

Beside, Conan sadly put the earbuds back in the box.

At the same time, I summed up my mistakes in my heart - earplugs are really too slow to use, I have to squeeze them flat first, and wait for them to swell in the ear canal to block the gap...

Now it seems that this can't keep up with Jiang Xia's speed of solving puzzles.

"..." Next time, I'd better buy a sound-proof earmuff, hang it directly around my neck, Jiang Xia opened her mouth, and immediately picked it up and put it on...

……

Conan sighed bitterly.

At this time, when he saw the notice letter that kept him up all night, it was as if he was looking at the question with the answer, and it felt like chewing wax.

Even because he was too smart, the moment Jiang Xia gave the answer, Conan immediately reversed the reasoning process, and there was no fun at all.

Conan's eyes lost their brilliance.

Leaning on the sofa, he thought about his life tiredly, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Why didn't you tell the police about this?"

Jiang Xia still looked uninterested:
"The letter specifically wrote 'April fool', Happy April Fool's Day—even if he appeared there today as predicted, he would probably just wait and see, and would not do anything.

"So we don't need to go there on purpose, and we don't have to worry about delaying things - Kidd will definitely issue a notice letter before he moves. Even if we don't go there, he will find a way to send a second notice letter for his own principles. Come."

Conan: "..."

I don't know why, when Jiang Xia said this, he suddenly felt that Kidd, who was majestic in the sky and flying around, was like an unlucky courier who met a lazy customer.

"..." As someone who was persecuted by Jiang Xia, Conan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Kidd.

But he quickly thought again that Jiang Xia's decision couldn't be said to be completely wrong - Kidd had committed countless crimes in the past, but he had never left fingerprints or other things that could prove his identity.

Even if the police rush to surround him, as long as Kidd has a thicker skin, he can still say that he is just a passerby wearing Kidd's clothes and playing cosplay on the roof-he hasn't stolen anything and cannot be caught on the spot.

Conan: "..." Having said that, he is still a little curious about this strange thief.Would love to meet him for a while.

Jiang Xia vaguely felt Conan's complicated mood.

He thought for a moment, and secretly suggested: "If you are interested in Kidd, you can go to the roof to play with him during that time." In short, we must increase contact, and let Kidd have the aura that the detective world should have as soon as possible. ...

……

Having said that, before leaving, Jiang Xia thought about it and reported to the police.

——Although he is not interested in Kidd at this stage, but in the days when there are murders around Kidd.If you brush up a little related reputation in advance, it will undoubtedly be easier to be invited to participate...
