Chapter 581 The Dying Man

With its wings caught on both sides and its neck grasped as well, the majestic eagle suddenly became like a captured stewed chicken in reserve. It flapped its wings hard and cried out angrily, but it couldn't turn around.

Toru Amuro grabbed the flapping eagle, turned it over to look at its claws, then looked at its beak, and found that neither was very sharp.

Then he handed it to the white horse scout who was running over and said, "Don't release an untrained eagle anywhere."

"Sorry." Bai Ma took the eagle from his hand and was also a little surprised. "Watson is usually very obedient. I don't know why he suddenly got so excited today..."

Grandma Qianjian is not interested in young people's pets.

She pushed the reading glasses on her nose and looked at Jiang Xia's hand that was pressed against her chest and caught Kiri Tengu's hand: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell in your heart?"

She remembered that when she bumped into this young man named Kurosawa at the corner, he seemed to say that he had a terminal illness and was looking for a suitable place to commit suicide.

It was precisely because of this that Qianjian Jiangdai invited people to the villa.

...Out of respect for the dying person, she saw that Kurosawa did not mention specifically what the illness was, so she politely did not ask.

When I saw this dying young man suddenly raised his hand and pressed his chest after being pounced on by the eagle, I thought he was having a seizure.

However, Jiang Xia did not fall to the ground suddenly as she expected.

He just shook his head and put his hand down: "It's okay."

Then he turned his wrist in a slightly awkward motion.

…Mist Tengu was still hanging on his hand, with its wings folded tightly and clasped on it, as if it was going to stay there that day.

This ghost seems a bit timid...

But it never missed its business. And it looked a little scary when a quasi-same creature with a wingspan several times its own, claws and beak more powerful than its own swooped down on it.

Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and decided to let this obedient ghost lie quietly for a while.

Of course, diligent and sensible employees can also have privileges...

…………

Although Bai Ma Tan didn't know what happened, he knew that his eagle seemed to have caused trouble.

At this moment, he heard what Grandma Qianjian said with his sharp ears, and remembered that when he looked out the window on the second floor just now, he saw Qianjian Jiangdai and the young man with a weak heart getting out of a car. Grandma Qianjian should understand him better.

So Bai Ma reached into his bosom and took out a small bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills, and handed it to Jiang Xia: "Do you want to take medicine? Of course, if you brought your own medicine, it's best to use the one you usually use."

"...No need. I just raised my hand to straighten my clothes." Jiang Xia perfunctorily brushed off what happened just now, glanced at the medicine bottle, and was a little puzzled, "Why do you carry this medicine with you?"

Is it possible that his heart is failing at such a young age?

It's very dangerous to continue like this. If I get scared by a criminal one day, I might turn into a ghost...

"My housekeeper is in poor health and sometimes he is too busy and forgets to bring medicine. So I am used to carrying a bottle with me." Seeing that Kurosawa refused, Bai Batan put the bottle away.

Then he adjusted his coat and wrapped himself tighter: I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little cold just now... Well, maybe it's because this villa is too old and there's a draft somewhere.

Bai Ma Tan put away the medicine, wrapped his coat, and touched the eagle perched on his hand.

Finding that it was still staring at Heize with burning eyes, he could only put a chain on the eagle and move it a little further away from Jiang Xia to prevent his pet from attacking others again.

At the same time, Bai Ma Tan couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He was not lying. Watson was indeed very obedient and rarely showed aggression towards others.

And just now, when Bai Ma Tan was handing over the medicine, he took the opportunity to get close to "Hei Ze" and sniffed it carefully, but he didn't feel any special smell on the other person.

However, an eagle's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a human, and Watson usually seems to react strongly to the smell of blood... Is there blood on that young man in black?

…or is there another reason?

While stroking the eagle's feathers, Bai Ma Tan thought of the host of this dinner - "the phantom son abandoned by God."

As Kidd's mortal enemy, according to Hakuba's understanding of him, at this stage, Kidd must have disguised himself as someone else and infiltrated their group.

...Perhaps Watson discovered something wrong just now, so he pounced on Kurosawa - or Kidd?

Thinking of this, Bai Ma Tan secretly looked at Jiang Xia who was wearing Matsuda's skin and decided to observe him more closely.

...If necessary, you can find an opportunity to try pinching the face. Although Kidd's disguise skills are superb, they are not very durable. Pinching the face is the fastest and most convenient way to judge.

…

The maid was a little afraid of the flying eagle. At this moment, seeing the eagle being punished, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and remembered her duty.

She hurried in and said to the guests according to the hospitality manual left by the owner of the villa:

"The host said that some events did happen here forty years ago. Everything in the annex is still as it was before. The time reserved for this gathering is two days, so there is still a lot of time to explore. Everyone is tired from the journey, so please go to the living room to rest. I will invite you to dinner when it is ready."

The other detectives had no problem with that.

The few people who had just arrived first put down their luggage in their respective guest rooms, then followed the maid to the second floor and entered the living room which was said to have retained its "original appearance from forty years ago".

…

The living room is spacious and has a warmer tone than the living room. It is equipped with billiards, chess, card tables and other entertainment facilities. The atmosphere is relaxing.

A group of people each found a project of interest, while Kidd, wearing Jiang Xia's disguise, played table football with himself for a while.

Then he looked around secretly and found that no one seemed to be paying attention to him, so he pretended to go to the bathroom and left the living room silently.

No one really paid attention to Kidd.

But as soon as he walked out the door, the ghosts poked Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia glanced at the "Jiang Xia" who was slipping away.

Thinking of Kidd's reasoning ability and his restraint in dealing with murders, he hesitated for a moment, and silently separated some shikigami from Matsuda's puppets, letting them float outside and slowly gather into shape. He also threw Mist Tengu out with him, making a puppet of Mist Tengu.

Then, Kurosawa Sawa, who was posing by the window in the living room, was handed over to Matsuda Jinpei first.

Jiang Xia himself moved his consciousness into Mist Tengu's puppet, intending to check out the situation on "Jiang Xia's" side.

Compared to the other ghosts, Jinpei Matsuda looks more mature and reliable, and he shouldn't cause any trouble if he drives a puppet.

And it doesn't matter if he gets provoked. After all, he is now the "Uzo" of the organization, and it is normal for him to have some strange habits - there are so many weird guys in the organization.
