Chapter 1615 1623 [I am not controlled by Uzo! ]
Thinking about the situation at that time, the confidant shuddered silently: "..." Although he felt a little sorry for Mr. Ireland, it was not easy to get to where he is today in the organization. He didn't want to be silenced because of this inexplicable situation.
"Please rest assured, I will control myself and not do anything that Wuzo wants me to do." The confidant clasped his hands together and apologized to Ireland in his heart, "I can still be saved, I really can still be saved!"
…
Inside the theater building, in an unnoticed corner.
A dark figure followed the building, went up with the wind, and soon returned to the rooftop.
Jiang Xia spread the wings behind him, suddenly turned his head and sneezed.
He rubbed his nose silently: "Ireland is scolding me? ... But he should still be dizzy now. Is it just that I caught a cold from the wind?"
Although people here don't catch colds easily, as a psychic with a busy schedule, he decided to go back and drink some ginger soup in the evening to be on the safe side.
Jiang Xia thought as he walked along the rooftop towards the building. Just as he was about to push the door, it was opened by someone inside the building.
Mao Lilan and the others came over, and when they saw Jiang Xia, the worried guardian breathed a sigh of relief: "You are here after all, Conan is not lost."
Jiang Xia pointed to the edge of the rooftop helplessly: "I was a step late. Conan and Kidd just jumped down together."
Mao Lilan: “??!”
Suzuki Sonoko was not worried at all: "Don't worry, Master Kidd is such an elegant Phantom Thief, even if he faces a nasty kid, he won't watch him fall to death in front of him - let's go downstairs and look for him, I'm sure we can find a kid who was left nearby."
Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.
Mao Lilan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she understood something: "The previous Shinichi..."
Jiang Xia confirmed her guess: "It was Kidd pretending to be him."
Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised: "Before, Inspector Nakamori pulled Kudo's face so hard, but it didn't loosen at all... Has Mr. Kid's disguise skills improved again? No, it's not quite right to say 'improved', this is a leap forward! But without the face-tearing identification technique, how can the police catch him in the future?"
Huihara Ai, who had been listening silently, couldn't help but look up at her: "You seem to be looking forward to him being caught? I thought you were his fan."
Suzuki Sonoko laughed: "Of course I am a fan. But without the police as a foil, how can we show the superb skills of Mr. Kidd? It would be best if both sides are evenly matched, so that the battle of wits and courage is the most interesting!
"And only if Mr. Kidd was shot down from the sky by the brutal police and fell into an alley, he would be rescued by a kind-hearted high school girl passing by, and then a bizarre and tortuous urban story would develop!"
Huiyuan Ai: "..." Knocked down from the sky and fell into the alley? Wouldn't he die from such a high drop? You plastic fan...
Several people were chatting while waiting for the elevator.
Just as he was about to go in, Jiang Xia suddenly received a call.
Suzuki Sonoko came over curiously and asked: "Someone else called you abroad?"
Huiyuan Ai didn't find it strange: "The big stack of business cards he brought has been distributed."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…Oh, yes, I almost forgot.”
Every time she went to public places with Jiang Xia, this hardworking detective seemed to be catching people everywhere to exchange business cards, so Suzuki Sonoko had long been accustomed to this behavior. Just like a person will not remember how many breaths of air he or she took, she did not add it to her memory at all.
Suzuki Sonoko: “…” Jiang Xia is really dedicated to his work wherever he goes. How much does he love the detective profession…
Jiang Xia didn't think it was a call from potential customers. The screen showed a string of unfamiliar numbers, and after calculating the time, it didn't seem difficult to guess who was calling.
He picked up the phone.
As expected, Conan's depressed voice came from the other side: "Hello? It's me."
"Conan?" Jiang Xia certainly recognized his voice. "Where did Kid take you to?"
Conan was embarrassed and muttered, "In the hospital."
Jiang Xia made a surprised sound: "Injured? Kidd is not that cruel."
Conan's voice became awkward: "It's okay, it's just an anesthetic injection, but the nurse here refused to let me go. She insisted that my guardian... ahem, insisted that my friend come to pick me up. Um, come and pick me up."
Jiang Xia gave an elder's tolerant smile: "Okay, don't run around, the guardians will come to pick you up soon."
Conan: “…”
Jiang Xia hung up the phone and briefly explained the situation to Mao Lilan.
The elevator arrived just in time, and several people got in and went down to pick someone up at the hospital.
The elevator reached the first floor, the door opened, and Jiang Xia received the address sent by Conan.
He was about to go out when he suddenly noticed a woman standing in the corridor.
—Makijuri’s assistant was waiting near the elevator, standing in a position where he could observe most of the exits.
Seeing Jiang Xia, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief and came forward: "So you are here. Miss Makiri wants you to go to her place - for some reason, Kid did not steal the gem from her body. Inspector Nakamori is acting very lax now, and Miss Makiri is worried that Kid will take advantage of the situation tonight. Can you stay by her side? That gem is very important to us."
Jiang Xia thought of the few fluffy murderous groups walking around next to Mu Shuli and felt a little hesitant.
However, without Conan, things seemed difficult to progress, so he decided to pick Conan up first.
Jiang Xia comforted the assistant: "It was actually written in the notice letter from Kidd that tonight is not the day for him to take action. Just follow the original schedule and don't worry about the gems. Speaking of Kidd, he just kidnapped the little boy with glasses who was with us. I have to go find him first."
The assistant wanted to persuade him further, but when she heard that a child was missing, she realized that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so she nodded and did not stop him.
Several high school students walked through the corridor, left the theater building, took a taxi, and headed to the hospital where Conan was.
…
This hospital is located in a remote area and has few people. It is more like a small clinic than a hospital.
Conan was in one of the wards. Because this restless child always wanted to escape, the hospital even assigned a nurse to keep an eye on him.
The nurse took Jiang Xia and the others to the room where Conan was: "The test results will be out soon, please wait a moment."
Jiang Xia nodded.
Having said that, it was boring to just wait. There happened to be a semi-automatic supermarket across the street, so Jiang Xia simply went there to buy a fruit basket.
He dragged a stool over and sat next to the bed. He found a knife, wiped it, and started peeling an apple.
