Chapter 1617 1625 [The plane is safe]
Ireland was mumbling to himself when an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Kid, it's Kid!"
Confidant: "...What?"
Ireland felt that he had grasped the logic of Uzo's actions, and a cold light flashed in his eyes:
“I went out just now to chase Kidd, and Uzo judged that I could indeed catch up with him, so he stopped me in this way, and then hid the real purpose of ‘stopping me from contacting Kidd’ in a series of seemingly logical falling and hitting cases.
"I was just suspicious before, but now, I am almost certain that Kidd must have important information about that bastard!"
As he spoke, Ireland looked at his confidant and said, "I heard earlier that Kidd showed up in London to steal the 'Stone of Destiny' ring from an actor. Did he succeed just now?"
The confidant shook his head hesitantly: "When you were examined in the hospital, I watched the news, and there was no relevant news. Kidd seems to have not started yet."
Ireland's mood improved. "If we continue to follow that crew, there will definitely be another chance to contact him. We must not let go of the information in front of us this time."
After saying this, he suddenly froze.
...If I remember correctly, the crew will take the flight back to Japan tomorrow at noon.
The place where Wu Zo had agreed to meet him in the letter of challenge was also where the woman in black was going tomorrow... and it happened to be that plane.
…
Ireland was doing unsolvable reading comprehension.
In another remote hospital.
Conan was telling Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki about his experiences tonight, which were roughly about how unscrupulous thieves persecuted innocent children.
When the two high school girls went to the nurse to ask about the situation, Conan finally put away his childish innocence. He collapsed on the bed and sighed heavily.
Jiang Xia glanced at the listless classmate and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huihara Ai reached out to the fruit basket in front of Jiang Xia and took out a banana.
As she nibbled on this fruit that was easiest to peel, she looked at Conan and secretly retaliated against the mini detective who had confronted her: "Maybe he discovered his own shortcomings after his unfortunate defeat in the competition with Kid."
There was a tattered backpack at the head of the bed, which seemed to be Conan's luggage.
Haibara Ai walked over and flipped through it, and quickly recognized that it was a pack of parachutes with only one left.
She immediately understood Conan's plan, and a trace of contempt appeared in her eyes: "He abandoned his moral principles and still couldn't catch anyone. Tsk tsk, how pitiful."
Conan looked a little embarrassed and sat up suddenly: "Although I did not catch the Phantom Thief, this does not count as his victory - you don't know, Kidd actually has a helper. If it weren't for that person messing around, I might have succeeded."
As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking: "But this reminds me, if we can't catch Kidd, can we still catch the helper? Next time I will start with that guy..."
Jiang Xia had just peeled the apple, Conan turned around and saw it, then reached out to take it.
However, Jiang Xia seemed to be distracted. He threw the intact peel into the trash can, picked up the smooth apple with his other hand, and took a bite of it very naturally.
After finishing the bite, Jiang Xia saw Conan's outstretched hand and was startled: "I've already bitten this one. I'll peel a peach for you after I finish eating it."
Conan looked towards the fruit basket: "You didn't buy any peaches either..."
He had no choice but to pick an orange at random, and while picking at it he sighed, "Why do I feel like everyone has helpers, but I'm all alone?"
Jiang Xia: “…” Who asked you to be the riddler?
Huiyuan Ai and Jiang Xia thought of the same thing: "If you need help, I can help you lobby Miss Maori - I know you are embarrassed to ask for it yourself, but I don't have such concerns."
Mao Lilan just returned to the door and heard the two children talking about her. She curiously poked her head out of the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
"!" Conan shuddered and shouted louder than Haibara Ai's voice, "We were saying that I was too impulsive this time and shouldn't have quietly slipped away by myself. I will definitely change next time!"
Mao Lilan smiled with relief: "You finally learned to reflect."
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko looked suspicious: "Are you so obedient?"
She nudged Mao Lilan with her elbow and warned, "This kid must be planning to do something bad somewhere else. You better be careful and don't be fooled by him."
Mao Lilan came back to her senses, and her eyes changed when she looked at Conan: "..." What Sonoko said makes sense...
Conan glared at Suzuki Sonoko, his eyes twitching slightly: "..." You are the only one who talks too much.
…
Anyway, the issue of identity was successfully circumvented once again.
The results of the examination finally came out. Conan had thick skin and seemed to be fine.
It was getting late, so they planned to go home and rest, then go find the crew tomorrow and return home with them.
However, when the taxi stopped and they were about to get in, Conan seemed to remember something, slapped his forehead exaggeratedly, and said loudly: "Oh, I almost forgot, my luggage is still over there in the crew building! Brother Jiang Xia, go get my luggage first."
As he spoke, he hinted secretly with his eyes.
——Conan was still thinking about the suspicious tall security guard in the theater.
There was nothing we could do if Kidd lost him, after all, he was a thief who was good at escaping. But in other aspects, we should always try our best.
Conan: "..." I hope the security guard hasn't gone far.
It would be even better if we could get some information about him from the security company.
…
The other side.
The "security guard" that Conan was talking about just felt a chill on his back at this moment.
Ireland: "..." Every time. Every time he thought he had guessed Uzo's thoughts, he would review them carefully, but there were always some contradictions, telling him that there was something else going on.
“But if he gives up, he will lose the chance to defeat Uzo forever… Humph, perhaps he expected this change in the enemy’s mentality.”
Perhaps because Ireland has experienced too much in the past, it has become somewhat numb to the fact that "Uzo is so terrible".
Compared to this, he paid more attention to the clues he had: "Even if it's all smokescreen, as long as you patiently filter out the smoke, you can always get something useful out of it."
Although Ireland suffered another setback tonight, after calming down and thinking about it, he feels that this is actually a good thing.
At least he understood Wuzo's bottom line - although he had been bashed around like a target by that bastard Wuzo recently, which was maddening. But the good news was that, judging from what happened tonight, Wuzo, the rumored "madman", was actually very sober and knew the organization's bottom line.
"Uzo's attitude is probably the same as mine. He won't take direct action, but will try to find a way to find the opponent's fault and use the power of the organization to eliminate the target."
Ireland slowly sorted out his thoughts: "Before, I was worried that the guy would do something on tomorrow's plane. Now it seems that I was overthinking."
