Chapter 12441252 [The Terrifying Jiang Xia]
Kuroba Kaito stopped and said to Nakamori Aoko naturally, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When Nakamori Aoko heard that he was leaving, she immediately became alert.
But she looked at her watch and found that it was still some time before the "8pm" Kidd had predicted, so she calmed down again - at worst she could just wait at the bathroom door, and if Kaito didn't show up when the time was almost up, she could just break in and see if he was in there...
Thinking of this, Nakamori Aoko nodded thoughtfully: "Come back soon."
Kuroba Kaito: "..." He suddenly felt a little uneasy on his back... But it was normal when he thought about it. It was already this late, and Inspector Nakamori must be cursing "Kid" right now - the resentment of the inspector and his subordinates should not be underestimated.
He didn't think any more and quickly went into the bathroom.
Then he looked down at the text message on his phone, confirmed the location, sneaked to the innermost room, and knocked on the door.
The door opened from the inside.
The enthusiastic classmate Jiang Xia appeared in his sight.
"Good evening." Jiang Xia was very friendly.
Kuroba Kaito glanced at him and met that friendly smile. For some reason, a sentence suddenly popped up in his mind, "The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken."
“…”
He quickly shook his head, getting rid of the strange associations in his mind - even if detectives and thieves were born enemies, he was definitely not the chicken whose neck would be bitten off!
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Maybe it's because the impression of Panther Knight was too deep in everyone's mind that night, or maybe Jiang Xia's attitude of letting the thief go was too casual and unrestrained to be a detective. In short, I always feel that Jiang Xia is not as simple as he looks.
He couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't expect you would be willing to help me."
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "You are a friend of my friend, so if we round it up, you can still be considered my friend. And you look a lot like another friend of mine. I just happened to be free tonight, so I helped you."
Kuroba Kaito: "..." This detective has quite a lot of friends. If he didn't know which one was which, he would probably be dizzy now...
He still cared a little, but now was obviously not the time to dig deep into the other party's secrets. And no matter what, Jiang Xia came to help him tonight, and it seemed impolite to explore in front of him.
Kidd tried hard to forget his bad first impression of Jiang Xia and focus on his business.
He looked at Jiang Xia's clothes and found that they were exactly the same as his own. He immediately understood: "Have you contacted Grandpa Terai?"
Jiang Xia nodded and took out a cell phone and shook it: "The communication went smoothly. I brought all the clothes and tools for disguise, as well as the voice changer you mentioned."
Kuroba Kaito's eyes shifted and fell on his cell phone: "..." Wait, this phone looks familiar... Isn't this the one he gave to Kiri Tengu for easier contact?
Jiang Xia also looked over and said, "He seemed unaccustomed to it, so I took it and used it."
As he said this, he glanced at Kuroba Kaito.
Kuroba Kaito's eyes suddenly became filled with resentment as he stared at the phone, but there was no murderous aura emanating from him.
"..." Jiang Xia looked carefully and found that there was indeed nothing, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He was actually very curious about Kidd's murderous taste...
However, it seems that even though Kid is from Tokyo, the common reason for murder, "a gift given to a friend, but the friend gave it to someone else without any appreciation," cannot arouse his murderous intent... Alas, even if a high school student becomes a thief and is at the forefront of illegal crimes, he is still different from normal criminals who would murder.
The attempt failed.
Jiang Xia didn't make any more futile attempts, and continued with what he had just said: "But I only borrowed it for one night. So for the sake of convenience, please save your number for me - sometimes the signal at Mist Tengu's end is not good, and we can contact each other directly if there is anything else."
The tip of Kuroba Kaito's ears twitched, and he said "hmm" in a reserved manner, and his mood was much smoother than before: it seemed that he had misunderstood. Jiang Xia's words "I'm using your phone" should not have meant that Kiri Tengu gave him the phone, but that Kiri Tengu knew that they needed to keep in touch tonight, but were not used to using a phone, so Jiang Xia temporarily borrowed his phone to send and receive messages.
"Okay, let's disguise ourselves first." Kidd found the tools and started to work.
…
Not long after, Kuroba Kaito quickly made a face that looked exactly like his own.
Then he remembered something and turned on the voice changer disguised as a necklace on Jiang Xia's neck: "Say something to me."
Jiang Xia thought of the Kamen Rider stage he had just passed by and said casually, "Justice will prevail?"
Kidd: "..." He suspected that the detective was cursing him, but unfortunately he had no evidence...
Kuroba Kaito could only mutter to himself while adjusting the voice changer.
He quickly withdrew his hand: "Okay."
Then he rubbed Jiang Xia's hair, making it the same style as Kuroba Kaito's: "You go out first, I will leave after you leave."
As he said this he was about to let her out.
But at this time, Jiang Xia said: "Wait, there is one more thing."
"Um?"
Kidd turned his head to look at him, and saw Jiang Xia squatting down and rummaging in his bag. When he took his hand back, he actually had something in his hand...
A cat that is completely black except for its four snow-white paws.
The dark cloud snow cat was held in Jiang Xia's hand, looking up at him. When the two looked at each other, it raised its paw and waved at Kidd, meowing in a friendly manner.
Kidd: “…”
Kidd: “???”
...Isn't this the heroic cat that slid in front of him while he was fighting with Bai Ma Tan for the gas mask? And if I remember correctly, it once cut the tough metal chain with one claw and helped him take the gem off the stone statue.
This cat is actually also Jiang Xia’s friend?
"This cat is a friend of Mist Tengu." Jiang Xia stuffed the dry food cat into Kuroba Kaito's arms, "Take it with you for tonight's operation."
Kuroba Kaito was startled: "Kiri Tengu isn't going today?"
When stealing treasures, there was no Mist Tengu waiting nearby. Thinking about it, I was actually a little uncomfortable... It's not that I wanted to be robbed by him, but Mist Tengu was like a street bully who abided by martial ethics and collected protection fees. Robbery was fine, but occasionally if he overturned his car, I would also help to grab some.
Jiang Xia: "..." - Of course not. The location of the "Angel's Crown" is not close to here. The Mist Tengu is so big that it would consume too much energy if it flew far away, so it's better to let the cat go. Anyway, when it comes to grabbing energy cores, their speed is comparable.
Of course, it’s not easy to say this directly.
So Jiang Xia just said: "Mist Tengu is my backup plan - if he is on the verge of being exposed, he will pretend to be a monster running out of a haunted house and attack me and Ms. Nakamori to delay time."
