Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 437 Foggy Tengu or Kidd?Ask for a monthly ticket (づど)
Thinking of this, Koizumi Hongzi forced himself to maintain a calm smile, and walked towards Jiang Xia holding the chocolate.

At the same time, the next building went up.

A hand wearing a white glove reached out silently and squeezed the trigger forcefully.

With a soft click, a rope with excellent ductility was ejected from the muzzle of the gun, across the empty street, and the end of the rope was firmly nailed into the concrete on the other side, passing by the magic place where Koizumi Hongko and Wutengu were located in the middle. array.

Before that, several smoke bombs had fallen into the formation and exploded on the ground.

A large cloud of smoke rises.Covered by the smoke, Kidd swept down the rope and reached out to grab the Wutiangu in the magic circle, intending to take him away.

But before reaching the target, the rope snapped suddenly without warning.

Kidd lost his support for an instant, and fell into the formation with a snap.He rolled twice out of inertia, then was caught by Wutiangou and thrown aside.

Burning magic power surged out of the formation, entangled Kidd, who had just joined the formation, like mucus.But as soon as it covered the clothes, it was sucked away by the shikigami stuck nearby, leaving only a little trace of its existence.

...The final effect is that in an instant, Kidd felt the warmth of spring in the winter.

It's a pity that at this time, the seemingly urgent situation left him no time to experience this miraculous change.

——Although the magic power in the formation hadn't had time to penetrate Kidd's body, it spread all over his body, locking his movements like glue.

Kidd's movement was blocked, and halfway up, he was pressed back to the ground again, unable to move for a while.

Feeling this weird situation, he only felt that he had become an insect stuck on a spider's web.Being unable to move freely means that this rescue has completely failed:
Kidd thought to himself that he was a high school student who admired science, so he couldn't fight head-to-head with a magician, so just now, he planned to make a quick decision, grab the Wutiangu who was trapped in the formation, and run away—— It flies very fast, as long as they leave that weird magic circle, they should be able to escape smoothly.

However, the calculations were well done.Unexpectedly, the sliding rope broke at a critical moment...

Kidd clicked his tongue inwardly.

Just now, when he was on Terai's car, he checked this new equipment, the rope inside shouldn't be so fragile.

So someone should have taken the initiative to cut it off—this "someone", from the perspective of motivation, can only be Hongzi Koizumi.

... He attacked suddenly just now, coupled with the cover of the smoke bomb, Hongzi Koizumi was able to react immediately and cut the rope... Kidd subconsciously recounted the reasons for the failure, while looking vigilantly at the unexpected person on the opposite side. A witch with quick reflexes.

Then he was slightly taken aback.

——On the opposite side, Koizumi Hongzi looked down at the broken rope, and then at the extra Kidd. The confusion in her beautiful red eyes was more than that of everyone present.

This made Kidd also confused:

... Wasn't Koizumi Hongko the one who broke the rope?

that……

Based on the method of elimination, Kidd turned his head subconsciously and looked at the Wutiangu who was wrapped in magic power and seemed to be unable to move.

As soon as his eyes touched, Wu Tiangou's eyes turned slightly to the side, and then quickly turned back to meet him.Although he has no expression, he looks inexplicably innocent.

"..."

...It looks like it's not Wutiangu either?
Kidd was even more puzzled.Is it really a matter of equipment?
Thinking about it this way, it is true that the coiled ropes are actually difficult to examine carefully... Of course, there may be something weird about the magic circle that automatically cut the ropes.

Anyway, since the plan failed, now I can only try other ways to get out of trouble...

Kidd secretly reached out his hand to one side pocket, where there was a tranquilizer gun hidden - even if he is now bound by magic power, it is inconvenient to move, but Koizumi Hongzi is so close, it is not difficult to hit it.

Just now, for some reason, Koizumi Hongzi's eyes are always going back and forth between him and Wutengu, looking very shocked, and should have no time to take care of the sneak attack.

take this opportunity...

Kidd took a deep breath, exhausted all his strength, and quickly took out the anesthesia gun.

He turned the gun and was about to pull the trigger on Hongzi Koizumi.

But at this moment, Wu Tiangou, who was originally quiet next to him, suddenly struggled in the magic circle.While waving the huge wings, it "accidentally" slapped Kidd on the back.

Kidd was caught off guard, slipped his hand, and the gun clicked and fell to the ground.

He froze for a moment, looked at the gun on the ground in shock, and then turned his head to look at Wutiangou's folded wings again. He felt something was wrong slowly, and his eyes gradually became suspicious.

After having doubts, look again.

Kidd suddenly discovered that Wutiangou's current state gave him a very strong sense of déjà vu—this was very similar to Wutiangou's appearance when he focused on nibbling gems before.

...Wait, think about it carefully, Wutiangou's recipe is indeed different from ordinary people.

And at this time, the slow fading of the magic circle under them also reminded Kidd of how the gems in the past gradually faded in the hands of Wu Tiangou.

Thinking of this, Kidd suddenly realized.

With a twitch on his forehead, he turned his head to look at Wu Tiangou: "Shouldn't you..." The remaining words changed from voice to mouth shape: Are you cheating for food and drink? ?
Wu Tiangou glanced at him, but did not respond coldly, only the wings on his back fluttered slightly, much like some people unconsciously moving their hands and feet when they feel guilty.

Kidd: "..."

He touched the ejection props on his waist, and vaguely felt that he had misjudged it just now—it seemed that the quality of the equipment that Grandpa Terai got was still guaranteed.The reason why the rope broke just now seems to be due to some other reason...

Koizumi Hongzi did not discover the secret one-way communication between Kidd and Kiritengu.

At this time, her mind was very confused. For a while, it was the equation of "Kid = Kuroba Kaito = Tengu", and for a while it was the Mist Tengu and Kaitou Kidd... In this world, there is no clone technique.So now... what's going on here? ?
Is there a problem with the divination, or a problem with the positioning of the handkerchief?

Koizumi Hongzi looked around, holding the only piece of chocolate in her hand, lost in thought.

The purpose of her doing these things today is because she heard from the magic mirror that Kidd is the only man in the world who will not be her prisoner, so she wants to eliminate this "exception".

...And now, let's put aside the relationship between Kiritengu, Kidd, and Kuroba Kaito for the time being, and think about things a little simpler.

——At present, Kidd is an "exception" certified by the magic mirror, and the magic mirror directly projected his image at that time.

But just now, judging from the way Wu Tiangou resisted her chocolate, this is obviously another "exception".

At the same time, there were two "exceptions" that needed to be forced to pour chocolate, but there was only one piece of chocolate. If it was divided into two halves, it might not be effective, so we had to solve one first.

Who should eat it...
