Chapter 1600 1608 [Jiang Xia: I am an organizational cadre]
The magnificent stage play soon began.
The heavy curtains were pulled aside, and a grand medieval ball slowly unfolded on the stage. Amid the magnificent music, Napoleon and his future queen met in the crowd.
The two fell in love at first sight and gradually fell in love. Napoleon put a love ring on the queen. Not long after that, the queen was attracted to a young man, and their relationship was exposed, and Napoleon was furious.
"So it's this version." Huiyuan Ai leaned back on the audience chair that was much bigger than her, raised her hand and yawned, "Compared to this, solving the case is still more interesting."
Conan was also forced to stay in the audience. Although he was held here by Mao Lilan, his heart had already drifted to the side door.
Fortunately, although he can't get through, Conan still has the high-tech glasses given to him by Professor Agasa.
He fumbled with the frame for a moment and pressed one of the countless buttons.
With a slight mechanical sound, the scene in the lens quickly zoomed in. The scene at the side door next to the stage appeared clearly in front of Conan.
Conan looked over carefully and saw Jiang Xia and Kidd facing the audience, whispering something while watching the performance on the stage intermittently. The scene looked quite harmonious.
“…”
Conan stared at the Phantom Thief dimly: "This guy actually infiltrated the detective's inner circle while I wasn't paying attention."
...But it's understandable if you think about it. Kidd has always been the best at creating an atmosphere, commonly known as pretending to be cool. So much so that even though he is a thief who never shows his true face, he can still gain countless fans around the world.
And Jiang Xia seemed to have the same hobby in a sense. Putting these two together, they might actually have a lot in common.
Thinking of the fans who crowded around the scene when Kid committed the crime in Tokyo, Conan couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't those people afraid that Kid's true face is extremely ugly, and that he's just a wretched old man who acts like a jerk every day?"
After a pause, thinking of Kidd's face, Conan added: "Of course, this is just an assumption - in fact, his true appearance is really good."
Huiyuan Ai took a bite of the candy Jiang Xia had stuffed into her hand before entering the venue, chewed it with her cheeks puffed out, and barely suppressed her evaluation of a certain mini detective. She only muttered in her heart: Oh, narcissist.
…
At the side door, the two fake detectives were chatting, but it was not the daily topic Conan thought.
Jiang Xia looked at the actors coming and going on the stage and suddenly remembered something.
He glanced at Kidd and said casually, "Kudo Shinichi may have offended someone, and the other party is quite powerful. Since you are using his identity to move around in society, you should be careful. Otherwise, if you are shot dead by a black gunman who suddenly appears from nowhere, you will be ruined. Don't forget to follow the procedure. The identity of the deceased will be confirmed. It is impossible that you and Kudo Shinichi have the same genes."
After saying this, Jiang Xia looked at the face next to him that looked like Kudo Shinichi, and was silent for a moment: "..." Wait, these two people probably haven't had their DNA tested. What if the test shows that they are exactly the same? Anything is possible.
Kidd didn't notice the detective's strange thoughts.
His attention was obviously attracted by those "people that Kudo Shinichi offended" mentioned by Jiang Xia, and he was very interested: "You seem to know something about it?"
Jiang Xia casually said some truthful things: "When he meets certain people, his reactions become very strange. For example, he will suddenly show a look of fear and nervousness, but at the same time he wants to chase after those people to find clues - those people are all wearing black clothes and have a similar aura. And they all carry guns. In short, all these characteristics show that those people may belong to the same organization."
When Kidd heard this, he remembered a guy who impressed him: "Like your detective boss?"
After a pause, he stroked his chin again and said, "But Mr. Amuro rarely wears black clothes. His clothes are all quite trendy. One time I wanted to pretend to be him, but I couldn't find the right clothes, so I had to find someone else to pretend to be him."
Jiang Xia was speechless for a moment: "..." You seem to be quite smart. You revealed the boss's bourbon vest so accurately.
…Then again, Bourbon’s outfit is a bit flashy. Can’t this fake wine be more professional and dress in line with the other wines?
Just as he was thinking, Kidd suddenly looked at him, thoughtfully: "Come to think of it, you wear a lot of black clothes. Nine out of ten times I see you, you are wearing black."
"..." Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at him, "Yes, that's right. Let me tell you a secret - I was actually one of those men in black who were hunting him down."
Kidd laughed. "Oh, that's terrible. I didn't expect you to be that kind of person."
That being said, he didn't believe it in his heart. Although he always felt that the detective Jiang Xia had a lot of secrets, it shouldn't be this kind of secret - apart from anything else, if Jiang Xia was really one of those people, then Conan and the fake little girl next to him would have been packed up and taken away long ago.
and……
"Didn't you say those people had guns? If I'm not mistaken, you've never carried a gun with you, not even a tranquilizer gun, hahaha."
Jiang Xia: “…”
Kidd was smiling happily when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He glanced at Jiang Xia's smiling expression, and suddenly remembered Jiang Xia's monster friends who appeared and disappeared mysteriously and seemed to be very supportive of him, and he froze slightly.
After a moment, Kidd cleared his throat, silently skipped the topic, and talked about business: "Don't worry, although the face looks the same, I am not the kind of detective who is too low in vigilance. Even if the other party has a gun..."
He pulled out a strange gun with a thick front end from his pocket, waved it in front of Jiang Xia's field of vision, and put it away before others saw it: "I have one too, right? Everyone has the same one."
Jiang Xia looked at his pocket and said, "What kind of gun is a poker gun? It's just a toy with a little killing power."
"It can fire special 'bullets' and attack from a distance, so how can it not be considered a gun?" Kidd justified the name of his precious magic gun, "It's better than your baton."
"Really?" Jiang Xia showed a half-believing and half-doubting look and stretched out his hand to him, "Then let me try it?"
“…”
Kidd held his gun in his hand. For some reason, he always felt that if this gun fell into Jiang Xia's hands, he would not be able to come back alive.
He quietly put the gun into the pocket farther away from Jiang Xia, then slapped Jiang Xia's outstretched hand and shook his hand like a good comrade: "Okay, focus on catching Kidd, and don't let your attention be distracted!"
