Chapter 153 The World Shattered
Jiang Xia recalled the location of Hattori Heiji's room.
Then he silently released his shikigami and had them pile up into puppets in the grove outside the inn.
This time, Jiang Xia chose Xiaobai's appearance.
The puppet's hair, like its clothes, can be adjusted within certain limits based on the number of shikigami you have.
Although the puppet made of Xiaobai is a little boy, the gender of a child is not as obvious as that of an adult. Jiang Xia stretched the puppet's hair to the limit, pretending that it was a little girl with long black straight hair. Then he tried to pull the pants wider, pretending that it was a black skirt.
Then he drove the puppet to the edge of the woods - he could just see this place from Hattori Heiji's room.
Everyone else was gathered in the hall, only Hattori Heiji was doing his homework in the room.
Only this black-skinned detective could see all the subsequent operations.
…
Hattori Heiji was doing a problem when he suddenly heard the rustling of leaves outside the house.
He looked up and out the window and saw a little girl sneaking around in the woods.
The little girl had her back to him, looking up at a high branch. Her things seemed to have been accidentally caught on it.
I don't know where this child came from. She is not tall enough, so when she tried to reach something on the branch, she jumped around and it was frustrating.
Hattori Heiji clicked his tongue, pushed the stool away, stood up, and prepared to go down to help.
The next second, he was stunned at the scene in front of him.
——In the woods, the "little girl" tried several times without success, and suddenly sighed. Then, her figure quickly grew taller and longer... and turned into an adult woman dressed in black.
The woman stood on tiptoe and easily took down the object hanging on the tree. She walked into the forest as if nothing had happened and her figure quickly disappeared.
Hattori Heiji was so shocked that he turned into a stone sculpture beside the table: "?!!!"
What did he just see? ! !
For a moment, Hattori Heiji almost heard the sound of "click".
…That was his shaky worldview.
…
After Jiang Xia ran out of Hattori Heiji's sight, he removed the puppet, his consciousness returned to his body, and he opened his eyes in the living room.
This simple and crude "world view reorganization operation" may have some flaws, such as the unscientific changes in clothes... but at this time, Hattori Heiji certainly doesn't have the energy to care about such details.
Even if they noticed, people can grow and shrink, so why can't clothes? No matter how you think about it, "clothes that can expand and contract with the body" are definitely easier to make than "people who can expand and contract freely."
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden bang from the second floor.
Jiang Xia raised his head and saw Hattori Heiji break open the door of the room. The Kansai detective ran down in two steps and rushed out the door.
…
Hattori Heiji identified the direction and headed straight to where the "little girl" was just now. There was a very distinctive tree there.
When he got closer, he discovered with a complicated expression that the scene he had just seen was not an illusion - there were several small branches on the tree that were broken, and the breaks were fresh, indicating that something had indeed been hung on them.
Hattori Heiji: "..."
...Is there really someone in this world who can switch between an adult and a child?
Speaking of which, he did meet a strange "child" recently...
Once this idea came up, it could no longer be suppressed.
A clear thought suddenly emerged in Hattori Heiji's mind:
The reason why Kudo Shinichi could "disappear" so completely was not because he was good at hiding, but because he turned into a child!
…
In the hall a few dozen meters away, Conan suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He turned his head suddenly and saw Jiang Xia holding his chin and distracted, his eyes fixed on the murderer in the corner.
Conan: "..." Jiang Xia has been sitting idle for too long and can't help but want to hit someone again?
Although he could understand Jiang Xia's pressure after seeing the "vehicle explosion", judging from Hu Juyan's current state, if the fight continued, the murderer would be scared crazy if not dead.
Thinking of this, Conan ran to Jiang Xia's side, trying to block his gaze from the murderer.
Conan, who was concentrating on being a partition, did not notice that Hattori Heiji walked in from the door behind him. Then the Kansai detective cast a look mixed with various complicated meanings at his back.
…
More than an hour later, the police finally arrived.
On the way back, Hattori Heiji got on the same car with Conan and sat next to him.
Conan looked at Hattori Heiji in surprise: Jiang Xia was in this car, and he thought Hattori Heiji would definitely go to another car - as perceptive as Conan was, he had long noticed that Hattori Heiji had a tendency to avoid Jiang Xia when facing him.
This abnormal behavior made Conan a little confused.
