Chapter 578: The Steps of Sneaking the Detective

If you can't grasp Jiang Xia's whereabouts, rashly replace Jiang Xia and go to the Twilight Villa...

Kidd recalled according to his investigation, Jiang Xia's frequency of solving crimes when he was away from home.There is always the feeling that something bad is going to happen.

——This time at the dinner party at the "Twilight Annex", all the invited guests were well-known detectives from all over the world.

If one of them was reading the news on the way to the Twilight Villa, he suddenly posted a report that "Jiang Xia saw through the murderer's conspiracy in such and such a place".After analyzing the case, the detective went to the Twilight Pavilion and found that "Jiang Xia", who was supposed to be taking notes, was leisurely attending a dinner party...

The news that "Kidd will change his face" is well known in the detective world.

If that was the case, Kidd felt that he would be forced to take off his vest as soon as he arrived.

... That's why Kidd gave up on Jiang Xia and reluctantly replaced him with another disguised target.

However, he didn't expect that when he was squatting to guard the target today, he ran into Jiang Xia by chance.

"..." Kidd was moved again.

Thinking about it carefully, it would actually be more appropriate to pretend to be Jiang Xia than Gun Tian Yumei.

...It's not because he wanted to pretend to be Jiang Xia for a long time, but never had the chance.

But this way you don't have to pretend to be short.One of the most difficult parts of disguise is the height of the person to be disguised, which is usually nothing, but today with a group of detectives, it is possible to be seen.And other detectives also have their own inconveniences: some are too short, some carry pets that they recognize as owners, some have just returned to China, and their whereabouts are difficult to catch, and some need to have skills...

But now, it is rare to meet Jiang Xia outside, this may be fate.

...In short, it was him!
The phantom thief who values ​​fun quickly changed his target.

……

After deciding to disguise himself as Jiang Xia, Kidd recalled the investigation about this detective.

——Although he has never heard that Jiang Xia has practiced any martial arts, he seems to have never seen such news as "Jiang Xia was injured while chasing the prisoner".

In other words, the detective's force value seems to be unknown.

...To be on the safe side, it's better not to make a frontal attack.Approach him cautiously, and then sneak attack, which is safer.

Thinking of this, Kidd took one last look at Toru Amuro, and walked towards the warehouse secretly.

When he was struggling to pretend to be the target just now, he didn't forget to eavesdrop on the conversation between Toru Amuro and the shop assistant, and he knew the news that Toru Amuro's car had a flat tire.

So before going out, Kidd made some manipulations on the warehouse door to make it difficult to open, delaying the time for Amuro Toru to leave the gas station.

After that, he made a similar fake spare tire with lightweight black technology materials.Then he took the spare tire and left secretly.

When he set foot on the mountain road, Kidd had completely changed into Amuro Toru's face.I couldn't find the exact same clothes, so I "borrowed" a dress with a similar color from the staff room, and then quickly modified it manually.

……

Sitting in the car, Jiang Xia was bored waiting, but suddenly felt that the ghosts around him raised their heads one by one, as if they had noticed something that could be squeezed, and began to look out the window.

Jiang Xia was startled, and then he vaguely felt the breath of magic power.

He looked through the car window in the sensed direction, and saw "Toru Amuro" walking back with a spare tire.

Weisai looked around suspiciously, there was no one else, only Toru Amuro on the road ahead.However, there was a faint aura of magic in that direction.Magic power can be used as an energy core to make the ghosts stronger and strengthen the puppets...

Jiang Xia's gaze finally settled on "Toru Amuro".

"..." Although the boss seems to have a magical bonus when driving and beating people, in theory, he should be just an ordinary human being without magic power.Otherwise, after such a long time, I must have gathered the energy core long ago.

Moreover, it doesn't make sense for Toru Amuro to buy a spare tire and suddenly awaken his magic power across the crowd.

Jiang Xia looked at "Toru Amuro" who was approaching, and vaguely speculated.

After waiting a little closer and being able to smell the specific smell of magic power, he was even more sure: the "Toru Amuro" in front of him should be disguised by Kidd.

...I haven't seen him for several days, and Kidd's hidden magical power seems to grow a lot.

Speaking of magic power... I don't know where Hongzi Koizumi and her helpers hid later.Compared with the witches who have accumulated over the years, Kidd's background is still a bit thinner, and it always ends at the beginning, which is very unsatisfactory... But later, Jiang Xia secretly went to the witch's castle for several times, but nothing happened. They can be seen again, and the castle has even begun to grow deserted.

Jiang Xia missed the two witches briefly, and looked forward to their return with magic power or new helpers as soon as possible.

When he came back to his senses, "Toru Amuro" had already walked to the side with the tires.

Then he knocked on Jiang Xia's car window naturally: "Help me."

...The voice is also the same as Toru Amuro.

Jiang Xia responded, opened the door and got out of the car, guessing Kidd's purpose—probably wanted to pretend to be him or Toru Amuro, and try to find a way to go to the Twilight Villa, sneak in among the detectives, and attend the dinner.

I just don't know if this strange thief is going to pretend to be Toru Amuro, or to pretend to be him...

Next to it, "Amuro Toru" had already put the tires beside him and asked Jiang Xia to find a jack.

Jiang Xia walked to the trunk and was about to get tools when he suddenly felt the ghosts poke him.

As soon as he was prepared to dodge, he heard a slight "Zi La" sound of electricity passing by where he was just now, and hit the box cover.

Jiang Xia: "..." No need to guess, it seems that Kidd is planning to pretend to be him.

Speaking of which, this strange thief is quite cautious, and he would pretend to be Toru Amuro and approach instead of rushing directly...

Jiang Xia dodged the sneak attack, raised his head, saw that Kidd had missed a hit, and decisively gave up the electric shock device, then he reached into his arms with a white-gloved hand, and took out an anesthesia gun.

Jiang Xia: "..."

In the face of an unarmed and innocent detective, he chose to use a gun, which is really disrespectful of martial arts...

When he goes back, he will ask the doctor to order an anesthesia gun... However, once a person is anesthetized and has no thoughts, he will not be able to kill.In terms of practicality, it is more practical to swing the stick.

While thinking, Jiang Xia reached out and pulled out the stick, and before Kidd pulled the trigger, he flicked the stick and swiped away.

The thin black stick whimpered and hit Kidd's wrist.

Kidd slightly raised his hand and avoided it flexibly.At the same time, he took a sudden step back, narrowly dodging Jiang Xia's hand grabbing his neckline, and at the same time, he didn't forget to press his jacket - in case someone avoided the embarrassing scene and the corner of his clothes was grabbed.
