Chapter 1329 1337 [Kid is here? Change the preview time] Please vote for me o(〃'▽'〃)o
The prop master once again adopted the virtue of a gentleman who talks instead of fighting, and cursed in a low voice: "These high school students have nothing better to do than to cause trouble everywhere!"
"Alright, alright, how can you start arguing over just a few words?" The director quickly changed the subject, "Hurry up and start shooting the next take."
…
A small-scale commotion seemed to calm down silently.
Although it was a little unpleasant, high school students usually see quite a few weirdos like this.
Instead of getting angry with the prop master, their attention has completely shifted to other things.
The three high school girls looked at the crew and huddled together, muttering, "Speaking of which, I always feel that the atmosphere of this crew is not right. There's the actor who dates everywhere, and the prop master who has a sharp tongue... When we encountered cases in the past, were there always similar people among the victims?"
Suzuki Sonoko was more optimistic. She stroked her chin and thought carefully, then shook her head, "It should be fine! There was only one annoying guy back then, but now there are two. And there are so many people in the crew, I don't think a crime will happen."
Mao Lilan compared the present and the past, and was successfully convinced by her. Her tense expression relaxed: "Haha, that's right."
When Toyama Kazuha heard the element of "many people", she suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and looked at Hattori Heiji, wanting to say something but stopping herself: Even if there are many people, it is not necessarily safe...
But then I thought: Heiji just encountered more minor incidents, such as catching thieves, robberies, or assaults. Even if he was unlucky these days, they were in the shrine now. And what Sonoko said made sense - there are so many people in the world, who hasn't quarreled with the people around them a few times? It's not like if you quarrel, something bad will happen.
The three peace-loving girls were gradually convinced by themselves. They put their minds at ease again and happily watched the filming.
…
Jiang Xia did not participate in their discussion.
——He didn't expect to run into the crew that Kinoshita Yoko was in here. In this case, as a psychic who is good at arranging time, it seems that it is time to plan his time reasonably.
So Jiang Xia walked to a deserted place nearby, pretending to contact a client, but actually took out his cell phone and called Kuroba Kaito.
Of course, he used his own number.
The phone rang for a long time.
On the other side, Kuroba Kaito finally picked up the phone reluctantly: "Hello?"
Hearing that he had no intention of greeting, Jiang Xia used the usual communication method used by "Mist Tengu": if you have something to say, just talk about it.
"Let's discuss it. You can change your performance time tonight." Jiang Xia looked at the innocent Mist Tengu floating beside him. "I met a celebrity friend, and Mist Tengu is also her fan. I may have to delay for a while, and I can only watch your great theft feat later."
“…”
Kuroba Kaito had a calm expression and remained silent, but a series of question marks had already emerged in his mind.
Change the debut time?
Celebrity friends?
And Kiri Tengu... Kiri Tengu is actually a star chaser? ! !
...Why would a monster chase after a celebrity? Did that female celebrity play a beautiful female monster? ?
Kuroba Kaito always felt that the amount of strange knowledge had increased.
But as a mature thief, how could he change the time on his notice letter for such a magical reason?
He hesitated for a moment between "gossiping about who the celebrity Kiri Tengu is chasing after" and "maintaining the mysterious image of a phantom thief in front of outsiders", and reluctantly suppressed his doubts, deciding to ignore the gossip, and said uncooperatively: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
After a pause, he was actually a little curious, so he acted like a thief: "As expected of you, you are the most famous high school detective in Tokyo - you unlocked my notice letter?"
As we all know, only by raising the opponent's status can we highlight our own status.
Anyway, it’s definitely right to praise Jiang Xia first.
Jiang Xia heard him pretending to be stupid and looked at his watch: "The second sentence of your notice said 'the clock without a second hand points to the twelfth character'. The 'twelfth character' does refer to Japanese, but it is not the twelfth letter in the Japanese syllabary. It is the twelfth character in your previous sentence.
"The sentence is 'Twilight lion kara twilight maiden へ', and the twelfth character is 'へ'. Put it on a clock, with the short side as the hour hand and the long side as the minute hand, and it will roughly point to the time of '7:20'.
"So the time you plan to show up is not 3 a.m., nor 4 a.m., but 7:20 tonight."
Kuroba Kaito: "..."... How did this guy guess it so quickly? It was just as the rumors said, so accurate and fast, it was like he had peeked at the standard answer.
But the answer was hidden in his own mind, and he didn't tell anyone...
Kuroba Kaito knocked his head in confusion.
Jiang Xia's voice soon rang out from the receiver of the phone next to him, continuing what he had just said: "The 'へ' typed in different fonts is not the same, and there are even more angles when writing by hand. If you calculate carefully, in fact, except for 'seven o'clock' twenty, it can also be used to point to 'eight twenty' if it changes the degree slightly - why not go later, you can go at eight twenty tonight."
Kuroba Kaito was a little bit embarrassed: "... How come 'The Phantom Thief Appearance Moment' is such an important and serious matter, but when it comes to you, how come it becomes something that can be changed at will?"
"Anyway, no one else knows about it, so we can make a small change in time." Jiang Xia said unconvincingly, "The police treat you as a formidable enemy. Of course, the time of your appearance is extremely important to them - but a thief like you who can come and go freely doesn't need to be so nervous when facing the police. If you can change the time, why do you need to choose the state?"
"..." Kuroba Kaito was silent for a moment.
A qualified thief certainly cannot change the notice letter he has sent out at will.
but……
It’s not because Jiang Xia’s praise is very reasonable.
Instead, Kuroba Kaito looked at his watch, silently gestured the shape of "へ" to himself, and then felt that Jiang Xia was right - if 7:20 was okay, why not 8:20?
Moreover, judging from what Jiang Xia said just now, if he went there too early, Wu Tengu would be too obsessed with chasing stars to come... It would be boring to commit the crime alone in the middle of the night without an accomplice.
Also, with the Mist Tengu, Grandpa Terai doesn't have to run around with him. Although Grandpa Terai's heart rate always suddenly rises a little every time he sees the Mist Tengu, at least his legs and feet don't have to be destroyed...
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito nodded readily: "Okay, I'll just consider it as repaying the favor I owe you."
...Just after eavesdropping on Inspector Nakamori's new plan, he also needed some time to prepare. This way, he had plenty of time.
