Chapter 110 Kidd is also a worker plus more to the leader [Full stack Su Su]
Conan was looking at the notice letter in his hand, trying to decipher the message left by Kid.
Kidd likes to guess riddles in the preview letter - cleverly hiding the time and place of his crime in the text.
As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly heard Suzuki Sonoko happily shouting "Jiang Xia!". Conan was startled and quickly came to his senses.
A second later, he calmly took out the noise-isolating earplugs he had just bought and plugged them into his ears - he bet 1,200 yen that Jiang Xia's first words after coming over would definitely be something like "I took a look at the invitation letter yesterday, and I feel that Kidd will appear at ××× at ×:×".
However... Jiang Xia said nothing.
This classmate just nodded and greeted Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
Then he walked over to Conan and patted his shoulder with an expression that said "I'll leave it to you!"
Finally, he sat quietly in the corner, on the sofa used for entertaining guests.
…
Conan: “……?”
Well, the bet was lost.
I'm willing to accept the loss. Just in time, the single volume of "Detective Samonji" is on sale today, so I'll spend 1,200 yen to buy it.
Conan quickly settled his bet.
Then he happily took off his earplugs and ran to Jiang Xia - looking at Jiang Xia's taciturn and listless appearance, he must have failed to solve the puzzle successfully!
...After so many times, when facing Jiang Xia, Conan felt for the first time that "everyone is on the same starting line", and his fighting spirit was rekindled.
Conan remembered how Jiang Xia encouraged him just now, and followed suit. He patted Jiang Xia's forearm that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, and displayed his competitive spirit: "Don't be discouraged. Let's compete and see who can solve the puzzle he gave first."
"Puzzle?" Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at Conan, his eyes falling on the note in his hand.
That was a copy of the Kaito Kid preview letter - the original was torn into pieces by Suzuki Sonoko's father in a rage, so they could only be pieced together and photocopied a few more times.
Suzuki Sonoko also sent a copy to Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia remembered the contents were:
【April fool
When the moon separates the two
In the name of the dark star
Invited to the waves
I will definitely come
Jiang Xia said with little interest: "Oh, you are talking about this."
"Yeah..." Conan listened to Jiang Xia's tone and recalled his attitude towards the notice letter. He suddenly became alert and had a bad premonition.
He reached for his earbuds again, but it was too late.
Beside him, Jiang Xia sighed: "Kid probably meant to say that he would appear on the rooftop of the Beihu Hotel after midnight, and no later than 4:30 in the morning."
Conan, who had just flattened the earplugs and hadn't had time to push them into his ear canals, said: "..."
...Can you speak slower next time?
…
Jiang Xia had already seen Conan's earplugs.
So when Conan asked him about "Kid", Jiang Xia quickly revealed the answer, secretly hoping that Conan would not waste his energy on the Phantom Thief and concentrate on doing what "Conan" should do.
Next to him, Conan sadly put the earplugs back into the box.
At the same time, I summed up my mistakes in my mind - earplugs are really too slow to use. Not only do I have to flatten them first, but I also have to wait for them to swell in the ear canal and block the gap...
Now it seems that this is completely unable to keep up with Jiang Xia's speed in solving the puzzle.
"..." I'd better buy a pair of noise-isolating earmuffs next time and hang them directly around my neck. Jiang Xia opened his mouth and immediately took it up and put it on...
…
Conan sighed sadly.
At this moment, when he saw the notice letter that had kept him awake all night, it suddenly became boring, just like reading the question with the answer in mind.
Because he was so smart, Conan immediately reversed the reasoning process the moment Jiang Xia gave the answer, which ruined the fun at all.
The light in Conan's eyes disappeared.
He leaned against the sofa, thinking about life tiredly, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Why don't you tell the police about this?"
Jiang Xia still looked uninterested:
“The letter specifically says ‘April fool’, Happy April Fool’s Day – even if he showed up there today as shown in the trailer, he would probably just watch and not take any action.
"So there's no need for us to go there specially, and there's no need to worry about it causing any delays. Kidd will definitely send out a notice before taking action. Even if we don't go, he will find a way to send a second notice for the sake of his principles."
Conan: “…”
For some reason, when Jiang Xia said this, he suddenly felt that Kidd, who was flying majestically in the sky, now looked like an unlucky courier who met a lazy customer.
“……”As someone who had also suffered persecution from Jiang Xia, Conan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Kid.
But he quickly thought again that Jiang Xia's decision was not completely wrong - Kidd had committed countless crimes in the past, but he had never left any fingerprints or other things that could prove his identity.
Even if the police rushed over to surround him, as long as Kidd was thick-skinned enough, he could say that he was just a passerby wearing Kid's clothes and doing cosplay on the roof - he hadn't stolen anything and couldn't be caught on the spot.
Conan: "..." Having said that, he was still somewhat curious about this thief. He really wanted to meet him.
Jiang Xia vaguely felt Conan's complicated mood.
He thought for a moment and urged secretly: "If you are interested in Kidd, you can go to the rooftop to play with him during that time." In short, we should increase the intensity of contact and let Kidd be infected with the aura of the detective world as soon as possible...
…
Having said that, before leaving, Jiang Xia thought about it and decided to report to the police.
——Although he was not interested in Kidd at this stage, in the future, when there were murders around Kidd, if he built up some relevant reputation in advance, he would undoubtedly be more likely to be invited to participate...
