Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 577 Want to Dress Up as Jiang Xia

after an hour.

When the car was winding on the mountain road, the tires suddenly exploded.

Then it collapsed.

Jiang Xia was awakened by this familiar movement, she was still a little dazed, but her body had already instinctively gathered puppets in the trunk, ready to pierce the spare tire.

However, before the puppets were formed, Xiaobai and Miss Spider, who also consciously floated into the trunk, floated back one after another, looking a little lonely.

——This time, because Kazami Yuya suddenly disappeared, and the police were busy searching for the strange passenger who hitchhiked in the middle of the night, the group of people was inevitably in a hurry, and Amuro Toru was also inexplicably out of state.

In short, there was no new spare tire in the trunk.

Jiang Xia was awakened by the sound of a tire blowout.

Toru Amuro had also skillfully stabilized the car, stopped on the side of the road, and sighed.

Then he adjusted the position of the gun bag, pushed the door and got out of the car.

Jiang Xia followed him out of the car and walked to the back of the car.

Toru Amuro stretched out his hand to push open the trunk, glanced down and was taken aback.

After a while, the police undercover, who had been very sleepless recently, frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "This time I actually stole the whole thing..."

Jiang Xia: "...?"

... Slander, this is slander.

He didn't steal the tires, and neither did the puppets.

Xiaobai and Ms. Spider seemed to feel the same way, looking at Toru Amuro, a faint light flashed in their eyes simultaneously.

Although he was suddenly blamed, Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, remembering the surprise trip carefully arranged by the boss, and decided to pretend nothing happened.

He habitually looked around, planning to find a place to stay overnight.

However, there is still some distance from the Twilight Pavilion.He didn't see the annex building whose quality was greatly reduced, but saw another building.

Jiang Xia pointed far ahead obliquely: "There is a gas station there, there should be a spare tire."

Amuro glanced in the direction of the gas station and nodded.

Although there are spare tires left by their subordinates who followed them far away, they can pretend to be passers-by at any time and come to deliver the tires.

But now, it would be too suspicious to wait for someone on the road instead of going to the nearby gas station.

Thinking of this, Toru Amuro yawned, rubbed his forehead, and walked towards the gas station: "Go and have a look."

After walking two steps, I suddenly remembered something and stopped again.

He turned around, looked at Jiang Xia who was following him, and stopped him: "There are some important documents in the car, you should stay here."

...this is a lie.

... Mainly because all the way here, even Toru Amuro, who firmly does not believe in coincidences and only cares about physical evidence, will inevitably become alert to such things as "incident constitution" at this time.

Although Dice decided to continue to observe Jiang Xia, he persisted until the end of the plan.But Toru Amuro really wanted to take a break.He didn't really want to stay in this kind of mountain, but planned to at least stick to the urban area with comfortable hotels.

In short, considering places like gas stations, even if there are not many customers, there will definitely be some staff haunting them, Toru Amuro decisively decided to let Jiang Xia stay away from there and stay in an unmanned car.I went to get a spare tire myself, and went back quickly.

We all know that as long as there are no people, homicides don't happen.

Jiang Xia nodded, had no objection to this, and returned to the car.

There are actually not many cases in gas stations.

Compared to this, what he cares about is: after crossing two mountains and crossing a bridge, behind him is the Twilight Pavilion where the case may occur...

……

In the gas station.

Kidd, with an ordinary disguised face and a dark blue staff uniform, mixed among the staff, secretly sizing up the passers-by.

Recently, he failed to find a suitable gemstone, but accidentally discovered that someone was bluffing and defrauding him in his name.

—Some detectives received a dark invitation to dinner at the Twilight Lodge.And the signature of that invitation letter was "Phantom of the Son Abandoned by God".

Kidd stared at the long string of signatures for a while, then frowned.

"Phantom" has the meaning of elusive, needless to say.And the remaining "Son Abandoned by God", combined with allusions from the Bible, can remind people of "Little Goat".If the word is changed into English, it becomes Kid - Kidd.

...It's like a letter of entrustment with cash in it, always able to accurately summon Hattori Heiji.

Using Kidd's name to commit crimes can always accurately fall to Kidd.

After Kidd found out that his name had been fraudulently used, he decisively decided to sneak into this mysterious dinner to see the situation.

……

Today, he came to work at this gas station not far from the Twilight Villa, precisely to guard his target—the invited Ikumi Gundam.

Kidd intends to hide the gun Tian Yumi who is passing by in a daze, while he disguises himself as her and goes to the banquet.

Before that, he had also seriously considered the matter of "changing his face into Jiang Xia", and conducted corresponding investigations on Jiang Xia.

So now, as soon as Amuro entered the gas station, Kidd recognized him immediately—this seemed to be the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.

Suddenly seeing Toru Amuro, and thinking about Jiang Xia who was not in Tokyo recently, Kidd's mind suddenly became active.

Speaking of which, when he browsed Baobao news yesterday, he seemed to have seen a report on Jiang Xia's case.In the corners of those pictures, a little figure of Toru Amuro also appeared.Although no person was directly photographed, it is still relatively easy to recognize for a strange thief like Kidd who needs to memorize the characteristics of the human body.

That is to say, since Toru Amuro appeared in this gas station, Jiang Xia is probably also nearby...

……

For Kidd, Jiang Xia is just a detective who has met several times at the crime scene.

According to Kidd's observation, although Jiang Xia is very keen and often gives him the illusion that "this detective has seen through my disguise", in general, Jiang Xia seems not to be enthusiastic about "catching the strange thief". , He often sits in the police pile and paddles to distract himself, and was even suspected by the Nakamori police department, arrested and pulled his face several times.

... If it wasn't for worrying about being caught in the face and destroying the disguise, Kidd would have tried to change the disguise into Jiang Xia a long time ago——Jiang Xia seems to have a good relationship with the second lady of Suzuki's family, so it is very convenient to get close to the treasure location.

But this time, among the detectives invited to the Twilight Villa, Jiang Xia was actually included.

When Kidd first found out about this, he was very moved: the dinner was not directly signed by "Kidd", but needed to solve the puzzle; in addition, there was no reservation for the stolen treasure.

In other words, the Nakamori Police Department, who loves to pick Jiang Xia's face, will not appear...

Thinking of this, Kidd immediately moved his mind, planning to disguise himself as Jiang Xia, fulfilling his long-cherished wish, and challenge himself to play this somewhat mysterious detective in his opinion.

However, the day before, after inquiring around Jiang Xia's office, Kidd found with regret that there was indeed an invitation letter for the Twilight Villa in the mailbox at the entrance of the office, but Jiang Xia who was invited was not there. Tokyo, whereabouts are currently unknown.

　"I don't like burning, killing and looting pirates, nor do I like the current world ZF, so I turn a blind eye to some things that should be taken care of, and I just have to take care of some things that shouldn't be taken care of - this It's my justice."

Facing the juniors who had just been promoted to generals, the first acting director of the promotion city, Figo, said.

Yellow Ape: "Learning is useless."

When I got back to my office, I wrote 'Ambiguous Justice' and hung it on the wall.
