Chapter 1599 1607 [Revenge of the Pigeon]
Jiang Xia said politely, "We've only met a few times."
"How cold! What do you mean by 'I've met you a few times'? We are clearly friends who have known each other for a lifetime."
I don't know when a person came over - "Kudo Shinichi" went to where there was no crowd. He didn't buy snacks with Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko, but joined the conversation here.
Kid patted Jiang Xia's shoulder as if they were good friends, and looked down at Conan: "I just helped him last night. He fell asleep in the bar and was almost dragged away by a beautiful aunt. This big city is very chaotic. If he had been dragged away, who knows what would have happened. So, this is a life-saving favor."
Conan: "...Help? Whose life?" Although Jiang Xia did drink last night, he was obviously very sober when he solved the case. With this level of drunkenness, he would wake up with just a little touch. Even if he was really dragged away, it would be someone else who got beaten.
...Wait, so Jiang Xia went to the bar alone last night not just to drink, but also to fish in the bar? Was it because he hadn't been able to knock anyone up during the past few days of his trip, so he wanted to find someone who came to him to satisfy his desire?
Conan: "..." Jiang Xia was too unfriendly to the criminals. Maybe this is the conflict between justice and evil...
Huiyuan Ai didn't expect that there would be such a thing last night. She raised her hand and pressed her forehead speechlessly: "..." Jiang Xia really attracts the same kind of people wherever he goes. Forget about those weird customers in Tokyo, why is it that he is still like this outside. Really, can't those people restrain themselves a little?
Kidd looked at the two pseudo-kids in confusion, always feeling like there was something else behind their words.
However, the fact that "Jiang Xia likes to blackmail people to relieve stress" is a bit on the edge of the law. The two did not plan to discuss this with Kidd.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, "Kudo Shinichi" shrugged his shoulders and didn't worry too much.
It just so happens that he has something else to say.
He looked at the two unaware female high school students and found that they were still ordering food at the door of the snack bar, so he turned back and opened his coat, revealing a haggard pigeon.
Kidd looked at Jiang Xia in condemnation: "Why did you pluck the feathers of my pigeons? You are such a grown-up, yet you still bully pigeons!"
Jiang Xia looked down at the little fat pigeon.
"!!" The pigeon suddenly became alert, turned over and stood up, trying to shrink into its clothes.
Looking at it this way, there is indeed a small bald spot on its tail.
Jiang Xia recalled the time when he accidentally pulled the pigeon and looked away: "It must have fallen off on its own. The daily work pressure is too great, coupled with poor nutrition, it is easy to lose hair."
Conan agreed deeply and threw back Kid's accusation: "You must not have taken good care of the pigeons - you always stuffed them in hats and clothes. Such a narrow space would affect the pigeons' mood and easily get their feathers caught. Maybe they were squeezed out at that time."
Even Huihara Ai stood on tiptoe to take a look, then nodded: "Look, how scared it is when it's in your arms."
Kidd: "..." Is it afraid of me? It's obviously afraid of this detective who catches pigeons randomly!
"Jiang Xia!"
A voice came from the snack bar.
Kidd was startled, but he straightened his clothes as if nothing had happened and hid the pigeon again to avoid being seen by the two high school girls. Then they guessed something and sent him to Inspector Nakamori.
Jiang Xia looked up when he heard this and saw the waiter loading desserts onto several trays.
Suzuki Sonoko waved at them and said, "Stop talking. There are so many things. Come and help me get them. There are fried shrimp rolls that you like."
"Here I am." Jiang Xia left Kidd and walked over, took his own tray, looked down, and felt like something was missing.
After looking at it for a moment, he looked at the clerk: "Add another scoop of ice cream."
…
Although the performance was about to begin, the actors still had to make a lot of preparations backstage, so there was still plenty of time for the audience.
They found a place where they could see the window, put down their trays, and ate slowly.
Kidd had something else to do later, so he didn't eat much. He walked to the French window and looked down at the scenery outside. It was unclear whether he was simply admiring the scenery or confirming his evacuation route.
Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki hadn't seen this "classmate" they grew up with for a while, so they went over to ask curiously.
Sitting at the table, Dr. Agasa observed blankly for a long time, and finally confirmed from various details that this "Kudo Shinichi" was different from the Shinichi he knew.
"It's really Kidd. You two are not long-lost twin brothers." Dr. Agasa scratched the back of his head and looked at Conan in amazement. "That's not right. Even if Yusaku and Yukiko are unreliable, they wouldn't lose a child without knowing it."
Jiang Xia thought of the white-painted Hattori Heiji and several other genius boys: "It must be a coincidence. I have also seen several other people who look very similar to 'Kudo Shinichi'."
"Do I actually have an ordinary face?" Conan rubbed his head and began to doubt his own aesthetic taste. "Even before I became a child, I often received love letters from girls..."
Dr. Agasa did not judge whether his face was big or not, but could only sigh about something else: "Kid is too brave, what if he is recognized as a fake."
"Actually, this is pretty good." Huiyuan Ai yawned, "For those of us who know the situation, we don't have to worry about the people around us suddenly turning into Kidd."
Every time when she wanted to talk to Jiang Xia at the scene where Kidd committed a crime, she had to confirm for a long time that the person was indeed Jiang Xia and not Kidd in disguise, so as not to accidentally reveal some secrets about Jiang Xia.
This time, Kidd has already appeared with a clear identity, Jiang Xia will only be Jiang Xia, and will not be suddenly replaced by a thief. This saves her a lot of worry.
…
After strolling around for a while and eating some snacks, the show finally began.
Jiang Xia looked like he really wanted to take the bucket of popcorn in and eat it, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally respected the actors and didn't bring any snacks into the venue.
When entering the venue, Jiang Xia was about to go in, but was suddenly grabbed by Conan's arm.
"Brother Jiang Xia, you are also a detective, how can you sit in the audience like us?" Conan pointed at the back of "Kudo Shinichi" walking towards the side door, and hinted wildly, "Go and help Brother Shinichi, so that when you encounter a thief, you can work together and catch him on the spot."
Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he turned around and followed "Kudo Shinichi".
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to follow them. However, after just two steps, Mao Lilan grabbed him by the collar from behind and said, "Let's go, they are concentrating on their work, don't disturb them."
Conan: “…”
Let me pass, I'm a detective too!
