Chapter 1606-1614 [Ireland vs. Jiangxia]
Mist Tengu actually saw Conan's actions.
Seeing that the psychic master was rubbing his eyes, as if he had missed the hint from Conan, it floated in front of Jiang Xia and conveyed his message with gestures.
Jiang Xia: “…”
The mermaid floated over, grabbed the tip of Mist Tengu's wings, and silently dragged the ghost away.
Jinpei Matsuda held his chin and watched the scene: “…” Alas, naive monster.
Next to him, Ireland, who had no talent for seeing ghosts, obviously did not notice this scene.
He looked at Jiang Xia, thought for a moment, and said bluntly: "Just now I heard from my colleagues that you are the famous detective? Can you give me an autograph?"
Jiang Xia seemed to have not yet recovered from the strong flash of light and was a little dazed. When he heard someone asking for an autograph, he instinctively took out a business card, quickly signed his name on it, and handed it over.
Then he suddenly remembered something: "Oh no, where is Kidd?"
"Kid? Are you talking about my fake colleague? I thought he was a naughty fan who broke into the venue with a flash stick. I heard that this happened before..." Ireland took the business card, secretly observing him, and pointed at the elevator. "I vaguely saw him take the elevator up. I'll contact my colleagues to stop him."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Jiang Xia also ran to the elevator, "I'll go over and take a look first."
The famous detective quickly disappeared in the elevator.
Ireland pulled out a walkie-talkie and put it to his lips, pretending to say something.
After the elevator door closed completely and was completely out of Jiang Xia's sight, Ireland's expression became gloomy.
At present, the situation is very clear - the "Kudo Shinichi" who the assistant said would assist the police in arresting Kid was actually Kid in disguise.
In other words, there was no living Shinichi Kudo, so he couldn't prove that Gin made any mistake in "killing Shinichi Kudo".
This turn of events made Ireland furious: those stupid policemen who travelled all the way from Tokyo to London and were said to be "professionals in catching Kid", didn't even think of grabbing "Kudo Shinichi"'s face for inspection?
"Hmph, but that's true. If they weren't stupid, how come they didn't send Kidd to jail for nearly twenty years? They're just a bunch of stupid tax thieves."
Ireland quickly had an explanation in mind.
But when he thought about the crew tonight and everything that happened here, which were suspected to be related to that "Uzo", he couldn't help but have some doubts in his mind - is it really as simple as "the police are stupid"?
Maybe Uzo was behind this.
Ireland has always felt that there is something wrong. But now is obviously not the time to stop and think.
He had no choice but to put this question aside for the time being, then stuffed the walkie-talkie he used to fool Jiang Xia back into his pocket, and quickly rushed to the stairwell, intending to go downstairs.
On the stairs, Ireland found the business card Jiang Xia had just given him and took a look at it.
The famous detective signed his signature in the corner with a very distinctive handwriting, completely different from the handwriting on the "declaration of war" that Ireland had received before.
As a Black Organization cadre with expertise in intelligence, Ireland also has some research on handwriting. He can be sure that these must have been written by different people.
After coming to this conclusion, Ireland put the business card back into his pocket. Jiang Xia's suspicion in his heart was slightly reduced, but not too much. After all, in Ireland's view, there were obviously many people available under Uzo, which could not completely rule out the possibility that "Jiang Xia was a subordinate of Uzo."
But now, compared to studying the composition of Jiangxia, there is obviously another thing at hand.
Ireland sorted out his thoughts in his mind: "From the 'declaration of war', this place today and this troupe must be related to Uzo. Uzo has a bad character who would make the most of even a passerby. It is impossible for him to let go of a famous thief like 'Phantom Thief Kidd'... I'm sure I can find more useful information from Kidd."
In short, compared to Jiang Xia, a detective who keeps a high profile and regularly appears in the detective agency and school examination halls, in Ireland's eyes, the elusive Kidd is now a higher priority.
"It's impossible to catch up with Kidd in the air. If we had called in helicopters and machine guns in advance, we might be able to try, but I don't have any preparations today." Ireland's thinking was clear. "But since Kidd is using a hang glider, he will fall to the ground sooner or later. We should be able to stop him by driving over there."
…
Jiang Xia slowly took the elevator upstairs while trying to smooth over the murderous aura he had just picked up.
His luck was obviously good - although he was not very interested in chasing Kidd, Jiang Xia's elevator hardly stopped halfway. When he reached the top floor, he arrived at the same time as Conan, who had set off a few dozen seconds earlier.
The elevator door opened, and Conan rushed out of the elevator with his backpack on his back. The elementary school student scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, speculating where Kidd might have fled.
I didn't find Kidd, but I happened to see Jiang Xia coming out of the elevator next door.
Conan was stunned, then he felt a little regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have taken your elevator. My elevator was always occupied by others, which delayed me a lot of time."
After a pause, he slapped his forehead again and said, "Well, that's not necessarily the case. Maybe it's because those two passengers took the elevator I was in that your elevator was always free. I should have let one elevator go up first, and then I would have taken the remaining one... But in the end, it still depends on the specific time when the passenger pressed the elevator call button."
If a person's brain is too flexible, he will always think twice before encountering anything. Then he will become like Conan, frequently distracted at critical moments - just like before and after, when this first-grade student was fighting wits and courage with the dark organization, he always couldn't help but solve one or two daily cases by the way, using one core for multiple purposes.
Jiang Xia looked at the rooftop in the distance and reminded the detective who was not doing his job: "Aren't we trying to catch Kaito Kidd?"
Speaking of this, Conan came back to his senses: "Wait, why are you up here? Aren't you supposed to be downstairs watching that big security guard? There's something wrong with him!"
Jiang Xia looked confused: "When did you ask me to keep an eye on him... What's wrong with him? Is he Kidd's accomplice?"
Conan was speechless for a moment: "I was just flashed by a strong light, and I was busy blinking to signal you, my eyes were almost sore... How could you not receive it?"
...But come to think of it, Jiang Xia was closer to Kidd and his glow stick at that time, they were of similar height, and he didn't have high-tech glasses to block his vision, so his vision may have recovered more slowly than his.
Conan: “…” Damn, I was so careless.
