Chapter 906 I can only help you so far

Before Jiang Xia could figure out what Big Kudo was thinking.

He heard Kudo Yusaku say casually: "During this period, Shinichi's personality has changed a lot. He even bowed his head to me before. It's really strange... But think about it carefully. You are all just children. Sometimes, if you encounter something that is difficult to persist or you don't want to do anymore, giving up is actually an option."

"...I see." Jiang Xia followed his words and continued perfunctorily.

He didn't intend to speak rashly before he understood Kudo Yusaku's hint.

——Although I haven't had much contact with Yusaku Kudo, judging from his imagination, I'm afraid that the big Kudo is no less capable in this regard. If I say too much, who knows what they will come up with without authorization.

When dealing with the Riddler, it is still important to listen.

…

Unfortunately, although Jiang Xia wanted to listen, Kudo Yusaku did not continue.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a while.

After a while, Kudo Yusaku looked at the portrait at the end of the corridor and sighed. Then he stood up and said goodbye.

“……” Jiang Xia looked back at the portrait and looked at his back thoughtfully.

…

Kudo Yusaku returned to the next door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Dr. Agasa hurriedly putting on his coat and walking out.

Seeing Kudo Yusaku, the doctor sighed: "You eat first - there seems to be a bug in that character program, I have to debug it."

"I'll go over too. I happen to be staying nearby, so I can go directly to the venue tomorrow and don't have to worry about traffic jams." Kudo Yusaku didn't take off his coat in the first place, so he picked up his luggage by the door and followed.

After the two left.

In the kitchen, Huihara Ai held a kitchen knife and poked her head out in confusion: "......?"

Are you all leaving?

…The vegetables have been cut.

...a fickle adult.

She walked to the window and stood on tiptoe to look out. She found that the light was still on in Jiang Xia's room and she was still there.

So Haibara Ai returned to the kitchen with peace of mind.

Since there are still people eating it, she will continue to make it.

…

next door.

Jiang Xia curiously poked the dessert box left by Kudo Yusaku, and asked Xiaobai to go in and take a look. Then he found that there were only ordinary desserts inside, nothing else.

He opened the package again, took out a piece and sniffed it from a distance... Well, of course there was no deadly smell of bitter almonds.

However, I don’t know if there is something like odorless anesthetic... If I meet Vodka tomorrow, I can ask him to try a piece.

…

While Jiang Xia was thinking, he called Miyano Akemi, who was visiting next door, back to the tattoo space.

Then he released it again and allowed her to return to his side with one click.

Jiang Xia's house is not far from Dr. Agasa's, and this ghost would sneak next door to see his sister whenever he has time. Just now, Miyano Akemi was also at Haibara Ai's place.

"Did Big Kudo do anything strange?" Jiang Xia asked her, "I just saw him going to Dr. Agasa's house."

Miyano Akemi thought about it carefully and shook her head: Kudo Yusaku didn't do anything unusual except staring at Ai's coffee cup for a while. But he left as soon as he entered the house, twice.

“……”left?”

Jiang Xia went up to the second floor and looked into the yard of Dr. Agasa's house.

I saw the little Beetle that was parked outside the yard drove away at some point.

Jiang Xia: “…”

...even more suspicious.

It's impossible that Kudo Yusaku rushed over to bring him specialties.

Or is it that Big Kudo is like Little Kudo: he heard about the vodka tonight from Conan, and then didn't want to reveal the situation of the Black Organization to Jiang Xia, but wanted to confirm its safety, so he found an excuse to come over for a walk?

“……”I always feel like something is not right.

But never mind, we'll meet again soon anyway.

Then I'll find an opportunity to test it out and find out the situation.

As for now, instead of analyzing the Riddler's mind, it is better to prepare for tomorrow's holographic game...well, prepare for tomorrow's task first.

…

Jiang Xia was making a straw man for the riddle man in his mind.

Late at night, Dr. Agasa and Yusaku Kudo drove all the way to the Beika Municipal Building.

On the way, Kudo Yusaku took off his glasses, wiped them, and sighed:

"I thought he had given up, but I didn't expect that what was coming would still come - the heavy inheritance between parents and children is really difficult for outsiders to interfere... To be honest, I regret the promise I made before, and I don't know if this choice is right."

"......?" Dr. Agasa, who was driving, was a little confused.

Although I didn't quite understand, after all, he had been friends with Kudo Yusaku for many years. When dealing with the Riddler, Dr. Agasa had his own way.

——When you don't understand, just find the key words and understand them according to your own meaning. If you guess correctly, the conversation can go smoothly. If you are wrong, Kudo Yusaku will take the initiative to explain.

Thinking of this, Dr. Agasa quickly "understood" it and started chatting with Kudo Yusaku without any obstacles:

"I think Shinichi is actually doing pretty well. Since you promised before that you would not interfere with taking him to America and let him handle these things on his own, then let him do it on his own for now. But, haha, I really want to see the scene where Shinichi comes to you to act like a spoiled child and ask for help. It must be very memorable."

"...That's right." Although Kudo Yusaku knew that he and Dr. Agasa were not talking about the same thing, he couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his son's frustrated tone when he asked him for information just now.

After having fun, he remembered the important matter.

Kudo Yusaku took out his phone and sent an email to Conan:

[I asked a friend. Their target is not Jiang Xia. They just want to temporarily use Jiang Xia's reputation and status to achieve their goals.]

[In fact, an organization like this that values ​​secrecy rarely uses an illegal identity to contact a famous detective - the risk is too great, not to mention a "high school student" detective.]

[You kids have not been exposed to the real dark side, and you don't have much pressure in life to threaten you. If you rashly reach out to you, it is easy to cause a bad ending with both sides dying and the net being broken because of the middle school boys' idea of ​​"rather die than surrender". They don't want to see this, and there is no need to take such a risk for an uncontrollable talent.]

[——You did a good job this time. If you encounter similar problems, you can ask me first like I did today. This will prevent you from doing bad things impulsively.]

Kudo Yusaku finished writing carefully and read it again. After a long silence, he pressed send.

…

The other end of the airwaves.

Although Conan lay down, he was not actually asleep at all - the moment he closed his eyes, he had a nightmare of Gin and Vodka carrying heavy machine guns and shooting and slaughtering people in Beika Town.

The phone screen lit up, he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the phone, and turned over to check.

After reading the above words carefully, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."Since the organization's target is not Jiang Xia, Vodka should leave on his own after achieving his goal.
