Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 580 You are here to deliver food
Kidd is always being chased by the police, detectives, and fans... He is very familiar with all kinds of evasion methods.

But like now, it is not very proficient to run after others in turn.

Moreover, it was beyond his expectation: Jiang Xia looked quiet and not good at fighting, but he didn't expect that he could not only hide and fight, but also run very fast.Moving quickly under the cover of the bushes like this, Kidd couldn't catch up at all for a while, and it was difficult to aim the anesthesia gun.

"..." If this continues, Jiang Xia's partner who went to buy tires will probably come back...

Thinking of this, Kidd raised the muzzle of the gun, adjusted the button on it, and prepared to use the steel wire to speed up the movement at the risk of hanging on the tree branch.

But the moment he raised his head, a shadow suddenly crossed obliquely above.

...it appears that some gigantic bird has fallen into the woods.

Just as this thought flashed across, Kidd's eyes froze suddenly.

Ahead, on the only way Jiang Xia must pass for running, a black shadow suddenly appeared.

——A huge wing suddenly protruded from behind the tree, whirled and rolled, like a flytrap that had been lying in wait for a long time, and precisely caught the detective who was running fast and had no time to change direction.

Jiang Xia seemed to be unaware of this ambush, and slammed into the wing, followed by the person who was swept away by the closed wings and disappeared from Kidd's vision.

Kidd was taken aback.

"..." Wutiangou?

... Fog Tengu!

Although from Kidd's perspective, the body of the wing owner and Jiang Xia who was swept away were all blocked by the folded wings and tree trunk.

But the shape and color of the pair of wings, he will never admit a mistake.More importantly... In this world, there is probably no other creature with such huge wings.

After subconsciously drawing this conclusion, Kidd ran close quickly, walked around the tree trunk, and glanced back.

Seeing Wu Tiangou's wrapped wings had been released at this time, revealing the very difficult detective.

Jiang Xia's body swayed, eyes closed and fell to the ground, and then was caught by Wu Tiangou like a snack.

Immediately afterwards, those dark golden pupils unique to monsters lifted up and looked in Kidd's direction.

"..." It was really him.

Kidd was instinctively surprised first: "I haven't seen you for a while, I thought you were being troubled by the witch again."

Then suddenly remembered the business, quickly ran to the side of Jiang Xia who was wearing the Wutiangou vest, looked at the motionless body in his hand: "...Is he all right?"

Jiang Xia didn't want to talk to Jiang Xia at first if he was driving a foggy dog.

But he glanced at the anesthesia gun in Kidd's hand, worried that the strange thief would give the body a supplementary needle.So he hesitated for a moment, Jiang Xia secretly piled up a pair of fangs with the puppet clay, opened his mouth to reveal a little, and showed Kidd a look.

And compiled it succinctly: "Narcotics. Enough to sleep for half a day."

Kidd was taken aback.

...Although he had seen Wutiangu's fangs before, he thought they were just parts for biting human flesh.

I didn't expect to be able to inject anesthesia... Could it be that it evolved when hunting humans in the past?
Kidd carefully looked at the pair of sharp and frightening fangs that resembled a legendary vampire, then glanced at Jiang Xia's body, hesitated for a moment, and put away the anesthesia gun: "Then I'd better stop piercing it, the dose is too high It is easy to injure the brain—you may not know it, this detective is very famous in our human world, he has a good mind, and he won’t be able to compensate if he gets stabbed... Well, your anesthetic should have no side effects, right? "

As he said that, like examining a work of art, he worriedly wanted to poke Jiang Xia's head with his fingertips.

He stretched out his hand, and before he could reach it, Wu Tiangou moved slightly and moved the "anesthetized" Jiang Xia aside, as if he didn't want him to touch it.

"?"

Kidd was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became alert—Wu Tiangou wouldn't count Jiang Xia caught as prey.

... Fortunately, he was already prepared.

Kidd sighed inwardly, flipped his wrist, and skillfully took out a necklace inlaid with large gemstones.

——This time it was not stolen from elsewhere, but pried out from the safe left by his father.

According to legend, Wutiangou likes to plunder humans, hang them on trees to dry and eat them.

But in fact, according to Kidd's observation, compared to humans, this seemingly civilized dog in front of him seems to prefer all kinds of treasures.

Every time the gems or other collections are eaten by Wu Tiangou, the color will become dim, as if they have been hollowed out.And after a while, they will slowly recover as time goes by.

At the beginning, Kidd had contemplated the principle of this change, but he was still unable to understand the mystery.

It wasn't until later, when he met two strange witches and opened the door to a new world, that Kidd completely gave up his research—it's normal to not understand things in the magic world.

...In short, because I don't want Wutiangu to eat people, I don't want to feed Wutiangu with my body.

In addition to committing crimes diligently, Kidd also rummaged through all the valuables in his home. Every time he went out, he picked one or two to carry with him, so that when the dog came out to hunt in foggy days, he could peacefully dissuade him from eating air-dried human flesh sticks.

Of course it's the same this time.

"This is the heart of sea blue that my dad took in France before, the quality is no worse than the ones I usually steal..."

Kidd glanced at this gem, then at Jiang Xia who was being held by Wu Tiangou, and negotiated in a low voice: "How about an exchange? Compared with bloody human flesh, I think eating gems is more in line with your elegant image."

Jiang Xia: "..."

He glanced at the gem.

Kidd seems to have some misunderstandings about the ghosts' recipes.

In fact, ordinary treasures did not have the energy core he wanted.

In this world, things that contain energy cores and can strengthen ghost tires and shikigami are actually stolen goods.

In addition to Kidd, other thieves and thieves also hid sporadic items, but they were much less than what Kidd stole.Maybe this is also some kind of world rule, just like when Jiang Xia first came to this world and Kudo-san hadn't turned into Conan, he couldn't pick up ghosts at all...

In short, now, the gem that Kidd handed over is good-looking, but there is no energy core inside.

It seems that a son stealing from his father is not considered stealing...

But fortunately, Kidd has other things that can be exchanged.

——Jiang Xia remembered that since the last time, this strange thief was dragged to the castle by the witches for a day, and there was a sign of awakening magic power.And magic power is equivalent to energy core...

……

Kidd was holding out his hand, praying with a little pang of conscience that his dad wouldn't care about the gem, after all, Wutiangou usually returned it after it was finished.

Just as he was thinking, he saw that Wu Tiangou's hand missed the jewel and landed precisely on his wrist.
