Chapter 1242 1250 [Join us, Jiang Xia] Ask for monthly ticket o(〃'▽'〃)o
Jiang Xia glanced at Kidd and was silent for a moment: "..." I'm not happy if I catch you, and I'm not happy if I don't catch you. The Phantom Thief is really troublesome. But there are a lot of energy cores, so forget it...
He grabbed a strand of magic power and said nothing more, letting the thief decide whether he wanted the detective's help.
Kidd realized that he was being grabbed and came back to his senses. He looked at the magic power that quickly disappeared from the fingertips of Mist Tengu, and felt mixed emotions.
But if you think about it carefully, what Mist Tengu suggested just now is indeed a solution.
——Not many people know that Kuroba Kaito is "Kid", which means that the candidates for help are extremely limited.
Kuroba Kaito was not at ease if he let the elderly Terai be a phantom thief. At the same time, he was even more worried about letting an old man play a high school student, as he always felt that he would be exposed.
In comparison, Jiang Xia is obviously closer to the image of a "high school student", and he is very smart, so even if he encounters a crisis of being exposed, it is not difficult for him to get away with it.
As for the danger of detectives to the Phantom Thieves...
Hei Yu Kuaidou thought desperately: Jiang Xia already knew that he was Kidd, and if he wanted to catch him, he would have done it long ago, there was no need to wait until now. And although Jiang Xia was indeed at risk of being exposed, he was a living person, and was safer than the black-tech rubber doll given by Grandpa Terai.
Besides, compared to some monster that can transform, at least Jiang Xia doesn't eat people. There's no need to worry that Qingzi will stay with him for a night and come back as a skeleton.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Come to think of it, it's really unpleasant to let my childhood neighbor date another strange man.
But it won’t take too long anyway, and Jiang Xia looks like a serious person... Well, it’s not a big problem.
Kidd sighed and quickly made a decision.
But we still need to confirm the details.
He asked Wu Tiangou: "Can Jiang Xia fake his voice?"
"No." Jiang Xia spoke for himself. He asked nonchalantly, "You should have a prop that can change your voice."
As far as I can remember, Kidd has quite a few black technologies. Although I heard that some of them were created by Dr. Agasa, there may be other improvements.
In the past, Jiang Xia had tried to practice false voice several times, but perhaps because of his lack of scientific skills, his false voice was always a little different from the original. Even Conan's voice changer was difficult to use to achieve the desired effect.
And this time, based on the principle of "working at critical moments", maybe I can get a good voice changer: even if it can only be used to disguise the voice of Kuroba Kaito or Kudo Shinichi, it may work wonders at critical moments.
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, Kidd touched his chin and thought, "It's okay if it doesn't work. Let's get a voice changer to adjust it. I actually mentioned this plan when I discussed it with Grandpa Terai before. I'm afraid Qingzi won't let me out of her sight for too long today. You contact Grandpa Terai with Jiang Xia. I saved his number in the phone I gave you."
After saying that, seeing Kiri Tengu nod, Kuroba Kaito was actually a little relieved: It seems that Kiri Tengu still has that phone. He thought the phone had been thrown away a long time ago, so the monster brother never replied to the message...
The man and the demon simply agreed on a meeting time and handover matters.
Kuroba Kaito came back to his senses from his career as a phantom thief, looked around, and realized something was wrong: "Oh no, where is Aoko?"
"She's already outside." Mist Tengu picked up Kid and flew to the side. "Go out through the side door. Then you can say you were scared by a ghost and ran into the employee passage by mistake and ran outside."
Kidd: "...This is too unrealistic. How could I, a great moonlight magician and a famous thief wanted internationally, be scared by a mere ghost?"
After a pause, he thought that this excuse actually sounded quite appropriate... Mist Tengu looked particularly human today. Could it be that Jiang Xia taught him this again?
Kidd couldn't help but imagine Jiang Xia strategizing in the gallery and sending monsters to talk to him remotely: "..." Well, it fits his usual impression of detectives.
The only problem is that he thought he was Mist Tengu's friendly human friend, but he didn't expect Jiang Xia to also... Damn, detectives are really annoying.
As he was thinking about it, the two of them had already reached the side door.
Kidd fell to the ground and turned around to see Mist Tengu taking out a Q-version doll headgear from somewhere and putting it on his head, looking like an amusement park employee who had accidentally entered this place.
Kuroba Kaito: “…”
He was stunned by the magical shape, tripped and kicked something accidentally, causing a loud noise.
"?!" Heiyu Kaito was startled and turned his head suddenly.
Jiang Xia also adjusted the mask on his head, revealing his eyes, and looked down at the ground.
I saw a wooden box scattered in the grass, as if it had been stepped on by Kidd, and the paints and brushes inside were scattered all over the ground.
The sketchbook that was originally placed on the box also fell off and lay upside down on the ground.
The owner of the painting supplies was staring at the scene, his eyes unusually dull under his disheveled hair - upon closer inspection, he was actually the "VIP" homeless man who had just climbed over the fence in the gallery to smoke and was then chased away by the employees.
"Sorry, I didn't see you." Kuroba Kaito squatted down and picked up the scattered things in the wooden box.
After picking up two pieces, he felt a little strange and asked the homeless man: "This is the territory of the haunted house, what are you doing here?"
As he spoke, he saw the sketchbook lying upside down on the ground, picked it up, and flipped through it.
After a moment, Kuroba Kaito showed a little surprise.
——This homeless guy is not just drawing.
Although the book is just a quick sketch, it shows good technique. The content of the painting includes streets, houses, and the decoration inside the living room. It is like a person walking down the street, seeing a house, entering the house, and then drawing the process from his own perspective.
After flipping through it for a while, Kuroba Kaito frowned.
The sketchbook is very thick and almost all the pages are filled with drawings.
But there is actually not much content in these dozens of pages. Instead, the same scenes are repeated over and over again - if you read in order, they are all streets, houses, living rooms, and then back to streets, houses, living rooms... It goes back and forth, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
When he was flipping through the sketchbook, Kiri Tengu, who was standing next to him, was also holding the mask and looking down.
Kidd caught a glimpse of this monster out of the corner of his eye and discovered that he actually freed his hand and touched his chin, his movements inexplicably like a detective.
Kuroba Kaito: “…” The detective’s ability is so contagious that even monsters couldn’t escape it.
While he was mentally criticizing the detective, he picked up the things he had just kicked over and put them back next to the homeless man.
