Chapter 1353 1361 [Run away, Grandpa! ]
The mermaid noticed Jiang Xia's gaze, thought about the energy core that Kidd had contributed, snorted, and reluctantly decided to let tonight's events go.
She pushed the side of the boat and fell back into the water. In fact, she liked floating in the river more than the boat.
The mermaid's tail came in handy at this time. She swam much faster than rowing. She pushed the boat, breaking through the waves and quickly returning to the shore.
When they arrived at the place, Jiang Xia looked up and found an anxious-looking old man on the shore.
When Terai Huang Zhisuke received the person, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he was suddenly startled, looking at Kidd who was covered in water: "Master, why are you so wet?"
...Just now he was holding a telescope, anxiously looking up at the sky, and vaguely saw a man and a monster landed smoothly on the boat, and then he ran to the shore to pick them up with peace of mind.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Kidd turned into a miserable drowned chicken, while the monster next to him was still dry.
In an instant, the operation steps such as "wash before cutting into strips and drying" flashed through Terai Huangzhisuke's mind, and his hair stood on end.
Kidd: “…”
He really didn't want to mention such an embarrassing thing.
Thinking of what happened in the water just now, he sneezed and quietly moved to the other side of the Mist Tengu, away from the river bank. He was afraid that if Grandpa Terai mentioned this, the mermaid would get angry again and suddenly reach out to pull him down... Mermaids are beautiful, but their tails are really scary.
As he thought about it, Kidd couldn't help but look into the river.
Just then he saw a head silently floating up from there. The mermaid was floating in the water, staring at him quietly, with the crystal-like scales on her cheek glowing faintly.
"..." Kidd shuddered silently and quickly got into the car driven by Terai Huangzhisuke, "Let's go, the police are coming."
After he sat down firmly, he suddenly remembered something: Oh, the Egg of Memories!
Kidd turned his head and looked out the window, and saw Mist Tengu holding the dull egg. He seemed to know what he was missing, and the youkai was unusually enthusiastic: "I will return it later."
Kidd: "No, this time I plan to..."
Crash——
The mermaid broke out of the water, sat on the shore, combing her waist-length hair, looking here, as if listening to their conversation.
Kidd: “!”
He was so startled that he paused for a moment. During this moment of pause, Mist Tengu flapped its wings and flew away.
Kid sighed silently. Although he hadn't finished speaking, without Kiri Tengu, he didn't want to stay by the river anymore. He whispered to Terai Huangzhisuke, "Let's go!"
Terai Huangzhisuke's old eyes were blurry and he couldn't see the tail of the fish clearly. He was still wondering why there was a woman in the river.
Originally, he wanted to ask the young lady if she wanted a ride, but when he heard Kidd's anxious tone, Terai Huangsuke didn't think much about it. He instinctively stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.
Kidd watched the mermaid disappear into the distance in the rearview mirror and breathed a sigh of relief.
...I was sniped, photographed, and forced into the river to rinse off tonight. It was really scary. Have you been unlucky recently? I should really go to a shrine to pray before taking action.
…
Without a detective to pursue the case in real time, the police had not actually noticed the unusual movements in Osaka Bay and were slow to act.
Jiang Xia drove away calmly in Mist Tengu's vest, returned to the main body, and put down the "Resurrection Egg".
Jiang Xia: “…” Kidd didn’t seem to intend to put the “Resurrection Egg” back to the Suzuki Museum of Art, but wanted to give it to another person.
But if they really did that, the news would be too secretive. Once Scoobing lost track of the Egg of Memory, he would probably not continue to stay with them, and the rest of the journey would lose a lot of fun.
This heavy golden egg must be returned to the Suzuki family.
Jiang Xia quickly dispersed the various puppets. The ghost fetus and the shikigami that made up the puppet clay instantly returned to the seal on his heart.
He opened his eyes in the abandoned building, stood up, looked down at himself, and found that his clothes were inevitably stained with dust from the building and were a little dirty.
"..." It was already dirty, so Jiang Xia simply rubbed it a few more times to make it look like he had bravely chased Kidd.
Afterwards, he rode the black panther back to the vicinity of the art exhibition hall and walked over with the "Egg of Memory".
…
Conan and Hattori Heiji were standing in the yard. When they were chasing Kidd, the tires were cut by the mastermind behind the scenes, so they could not continue chasing. They didn't know where to go for a while, so they had to come back and wait for news from the police.
Instead of waiting for the police, I waited for Jiangxia first.
The two of them were startled and came forward. At first glance, they saw the Egg of Memory in Jiang Xia's hand and said in shock: "You caught up with Kidd?!"
Jiang Xia handed the heavy golden egg to them and shook his tired hands: "No, this egg was placed beside the river bank, I saw it and picked it up."
As they got closer, the two detectives saw the rare dust on Jiang Xia's body and were startled again: "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xia looked down at his clothes. "When I was chasing Kidd just now, I saw him fly over the river bend, and then suddenly fell down, like his hang glider had a problem... I didn't expect him to make such a mistake. I was a little surprised and looked at him a few more times, not paying attention to my feet."
When the two detectives heard this, their attention was quickly diverted.
——Kid has always been able to move freely in the sky, but today he made such a low-level mistake?
I always feel like there's something else going on.
in addition……
Conan looked at Jiang Xia in confusion: "Why are you suddenly interested in 'catching Kidd' today?"
Jiang Xia sighed, "After all, it's Sonoko's thing. Even Hattori is helping to chase it, so I can't just sit there and watch. I just wanted to take a walk, but I happened to run into Kid's escape route. The road conditions were complicated at the time, so I challenged myself to chase it on a bicycle - this kind of ground-to-air chase is quite interesting."
Conan: "..." So it turns out that he didn't suppress his racing nature when he was slacking off. That makes sense...
Looking at the holes on Jiang Xia's clothes, he reminded her, "Racing is dangerous."
“……” Jiang Xia looked down at his skateboard.
Conan followed his line of sight, feeling a little embarrassed, and hid his skateboard behind him: "Well, of course, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures... Anyway, now that the Egg of Memory has been found, we have to tell the police first!"
…
They quickly contacted the police.
Through the phone, Jiang Xia seemed to be able to see the furious Inspector Nakamori on the other side of the phone.
Inspector Nakamori had already woken up by now, and he sounded very alert: "Are you sure you saw Kidd near Osaka Bay? Did he really fall?!"
"Yes, that's right." Jiang Xia responded. After thinking for a moment, he reminded, "But according to his ability, if he is still alive, he must have run away."
