Chapter 12521260 [The Hateful Instigator]

Kuroba Kaito: “…”

It seems difficult to change the minds of the elderly. In addition, they are more likely to believe in those "ancient legends". Therefore, until now, Terai Huang Zhisuke is still sufficiently vigilant about the "Mist Tengu eating people" incident.

Kuroba Kaito sighed, "Let's take off the equipment. No need to drive Kiri Tengu, we can take the Shinkansen."

…

On the other side, Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko also made an appointment to go to Osaka - since Conan ran away with Hattori Heiji in advance, Mao Li Ran went to chase him, so this time only the two of them could go together.

Jiang Xia prefers to take public transportation, and Suzuki Sonoko also finds private cars stuffy. The two hit it off and decided to go alone, not with the Suzuki family.

Although Jiang Xia's sleep was disturbed by Kuroba Kaito on the way, he still stubbornly took a nap and then woke up at the vibration of the alarm clock.

He glanced at the time, then remembered something and called Suzuki Sonoko to be on the safe side: "Is it up?"

"Hmm?" Suzuki Sonoko's voice was dazed at first, and she came to her senses after a few seconds, "Of course I got up!"

Jiang Xia: “…” I always feel like she is actually in present tense.

...But never mind, I can catch up anyway.

…

At around five forty, both of them arrived at the station, planning to take a less crowded train to the stop where they could take the Shinkansen.

I was stretching and waiting for the bus when two people suddenly came over.

One old and one young, they are the Phantom Thief and his support.

Suzuki Sonoko glanced over there casually, and was suddenly stunned. She blurted out: "It's you again!"

"?" Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito looked at them and was also stunned for a moment, "...What a coincidence."

Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Kudo-faced guy, her eyes settling on Kuroba Kaito's not-so-small luggage: "You guys aren't going to Osaka too, are you?"

also?

Kuroba Kaito tried to keep smiling and said as if they were chatting normally, "Yeah, I heard that Kidd will be in Osaka soon. As his fan, of course I want to go to Osaka to see it."

Jiang Xia laughed beside him.

Kuroba Kaito's smile froze: "..." Damn, it was originally a very natural sentence, but with Jiang Xia, an insider standing next to him, I don't know why, I always felt a little awkward... This detective actually made fun of him!

Fortunately, the main audience, Suzuki Sonoko, knew nothing about the truth.

Instead, she was a little surprised: "You are also a fan of Kidd-sama? -Haha, although you have such a face, you are surprisingly discerning."

Kuroba Kaito: “…Hmm?” What’s wrong? Why can’t this face have good taste!

When two people were having an awkward conversation that was not very tacit.

Next to him, Terai Huangzhisuke recognized Jiang Xia and nodded at him: I heard that Jiang Xia just helped the young master last night. Although he didn't know why Kaito was always hostile to him, he actually thought that Jiang Xia was a good kid, at least more reassuring than Mist Tengu whose menu included human flesh.

in addition……

After greeting Jiang Xia, Terai Huang Zhisuke shifted his gaze and fell on Suzuki Sonoko.

——As a logistics staff of Kaito Kidd, although he is not a professional intelligence officer, it is impossible for him not to know the Suzuki family. After all, this family is often targeted by Kidd.

Terai Huang Zhisuke: "..." Speaking of which, the target in Osaka this time is also something from the Suzuki family. Thinking about it, I feel a little guilty...

Suzuki Sonoko noticed his gaze and looked over. She found that the old man seemed to be hesitant to speak, so she immediately became curious and walked over to talk to him.

…

While they were having a simple chat.

Kuroba Kaito walked over to Jiang Xia as if nothing had happened.

He looked around and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping, then asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you bring Mist Tengu with you?"

The dog in the fog floating next to Jiang Xia moved its ears, withdrew its gaze from the distance, and looked over here in confusion.

Jiang Xia also took a look at it: "He has his own ideas."

Kuroba Kaito: "..." Are you going to let Kiri Tengu find a way to go to Osaka on his own?

He immediately felt that this detective was not very reliable: "What if we encounter poaching?"

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Then let's add one more dish."

Kuroba Kaito: “!!”

...This detective actually instigated the monster to eat human flesh!

Jiang Xia glanced at his expression and gave a friendly smile: "I'm just kidding, you don't really think that Mist Tengu eats people."

Although Kuroba Kaito did think so, how could he admit it at this moment?

He said against his will: "Of course not, how can a Mist Tengu eat people?"

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "So how does he get there?" Or is he not planning to go?

Jiang Xia made up a story: "He got mixed up in a film crew and took a ride away - a persistent actor who refused to put down his props and was always immersed in his role. How about that? It fits his serious personality, right?"

"Hmm..." Kuroba Kaito imagined the scene and found it surprisingly suitable. Jiang Xia is indeed a smart detective. This method is worth learning. "This is indeed a way."

...I just hope that the fellow crew members would be more polite and not pull other people's wings out of curiosity.

…

At five fifty, the tram arrived at the station.

As soon as she got in the car, she found that there was no one in the car. Suzuki Sonoko stretched lazily and said, "Haha, it's like renting the whole place out."

Kuroba Kaito got on the bus with his luggage, wanting to take his companion with him and find a seat away from the detective: "Mr. Terai..."

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Suzuki Sonoko and Terai Konosuke chatting animatedly.

As Suzuki Sonoko sat near the entrance, Terai Kōnosuke also sat there with her.

——Both of them can be considered fans of Kid, and compared to Suzuki Sonoko who is a fan of many people, Terai Huang Zhisuke can be called a crazy fan of "Kaito Kid". He not only knows the story of the current Kid, but also knows a lot about the previous Kid. Suzuki Sonoko was bored, so she just listened to him attentively.

Jiang Xia also sat down next to him.

Kuroba Kaito: ...Tsk.

Just when he was struggling over whether to sit in the corner alone or join in the fun.

There were footsteps at the door and other guests got on the car.

It was a male college student wearing a baseball cap backwards. He had headphones on his ears and seemed to be talking on the phone with a friend: "Hori is always late, I'm used to it, but Shimizu didn't come either. Oh, these two guys, if I had known earlier, I would have made excuses like you not to come."

As he was talking, the driver poked his head out from the front. He seemed to know this passenger: "Mr. Kawasaki, are you alone today?"

Kawasaki Tetsuta scratched the back of his head and said uncertainly, "There should be two more."

The conductor nodded and said, "It's fine if you want to take pictures, but there are other passengers on the train today, so don't cause them any trouble."
