Chapter 1672 1680 [Curaçao: Can't See Me]
"Kid? I see. This 'runway signal light' used for landing is very unique." Curacao wiped his glasses. "Using humans as scripts, using humans as props, and now using police officers as signal lights for paving the road... Uzo looks like a cannibal who traveled through time. And compared to his own people, he obviously has a completely new understanding and use of humans."
Even though Curacao himself killed many people, killing people for the sake of a mission was completely different from killing people for fun. Even she would be wary of such a person.
"He's still so young, how did he develop such a terrible habit... Oh, his mother seems to be the crazy one in the research department, so it's no wonder." Curacao muttered to himself, "But judging from the information, Jiang Xia has always behaved more like an introverted version of his father. Could it be that this fake detective just hid all the madness at the time?... Ha, I wonder if Ireland will accidentally run over a few poor policemen when he lands his plane."
She seemed to have seen the scene of the policeman in the police car being crushed into meat paste, and frowned in displeasure.
At the same time, Curacao realized something.
She pulled down the mirror on the roof again, looked at herself in the mirror, and decisively took off her crystal earrings and replaced them with a pair of plain, forgettable silver earrings.
Then she stared at the dark blue watch with sparkling diamonds on its dial, took it off, and replaced it with an ordinary leather watch with a black background.
After carefully checking her whole body and making sure that there was nothing eye-catching about her and that she looked like just an ordinary white-collar worker, Curacao felt relieved and started again.
——She just wanted to stare at Ireland from afar, not wanting to replace the big guy and become someone's new toy just because of an accidental glance in the crowd.
…
Mid-air.
As Kidd flew out of the cabin, the originally stable plane shook slightly and a loud wind sound was heard in the first-class cabin.
Maya Hashimoto was startled. She ran to the door of the cab and looked outside. She couldn't help cursing: "Which bastard opened the hatch!"... Oh, that guy just now!
He moved closer to see if he could salvage the situation, but found that the hatch had already flown away completely.
Realizing this, Maya Hashimoto silently turned around and quickly returned to the relatively safe cockpit before being swept away by the airflow.
Then he glanced at Jiang Xia who was still sitting steadily in the driver's seat: Good, this detective quickly stabilized the fuselage. It's easy to teach smart people to do things. He learned how to adjust the direction of the plane so quickly.
But now is not the time to express admiration for the detective. Hashimoto Maya is a little anxious: "We have to land as soon as possible. The guy who came to adjust the cabin pressure just now is probably the Kaito Kidd hiding on the plane. He may have discovered some hidden dangers and didn't want to crash with the plane, so he escaped in advance."
"Alas." Jiang Xia sighed casually, echoed the others' disappointment with the Phantom Thief, and continued to concentrate on being a captain.
He glanced at the fuel gauge and said, "There's still a little fuel left, enough to support the landing. I'll adjust the landing direction first. I have to go against the wind to minimize the gliding distance."
He then looked at Hashimoto Maya and said, "But I suddenly have a headache. Are you really not going to drive? I don't think you are too nervous right now. You should be able to drive."
Hashimoto Maya: “…I can’t.” Don’t pick a time like this to cause trouble!!
The plane was still circling to adjust its direction. Hashimoto Maya didn't want to give up and tried to change the subject of the plane: "If you have a headache, I... I can help you press it?"
"Okay." Jiang Xia is indeed a detective who grew up in the sun. He has no idea that "you can't hand over the key to others." But he suddenly thought of something, "You haven't touched the place where the captain has touched, so don't smear cyanide on my face."
"!" Maya Hashimoto quickly retracted her hand and avoided another non-existent trap.
Jiang Xia looked at the bewildered new brother in the reflection, and pointed at the passenger seat tolerantly: "How about this, you sit over there and be my assistant. In case there is any accident when we land, it will also relieve my stress."
“…”
Maya Hashimoto was extremely unhappy.
But the co-pilot is not as conspicuous as the captain, and it is better to take a little risk of being exposed than to be blown to ashes along with the plane.
With Ireland's approving look, he finally sat down quietly.
Ireland was a little worried when he saw Hashimoto Maya not sitting in the passenger seat. But now that he saw him sitting down, he couldn't help but think of his subordinate's previous words: "The plane crashed and everyone died."
Although his mind told him that was just an excuse Hashimoto Maya used to refuse to fly the plane, as a cadre of the organization who was always walking on the edge of danger, Ireland still became uncontrollably alert.
He secretly took a step closer to the co-pilot. In this way, if Hashimoto Maya's mentality collapsed and something unusual happened, he would be able to stop her actions in time and get things back on track.
In the face of the pressure of death, people often make choices beyond their imagination. In other words, Ireland could not be sure what Maya Hashimoto would do until the last moment.
And no cadre is willing to put his life completely in the hands of others, let alone his confidant, not even Mr. Pisk.
Ireland: “…” At this moment, he suddenly regretted letting this confidant appear by his side, which led to Hashimoto Maya being exposed to Uzo’s sight.
But there is no use regretting, because if Hashimoto Maya had not appeared, then his death would have been sealed the moment he was ambushed by the men sent by Uzo and fell on the street last night - he was carrying a gun at the time, and if Hashimoto Maya had not kept up and hidden the gun, and the gun was discovered by the doctor and the hospital called the police, then he might have been killed by a bullet in his dream.
...Wait, could this actually be a conspiracy by Uzo to force out his confidants?
I can’t think too much about everything I’ve been through recently. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I’m falling deeper and deeper into a web of conspiracy.
Ireland looked a little grim.
At this time, Hashimoto Maya's surprised voice suddenly sounded: "Why is there a row of lights on that 'runway'? It's like an additional signal light! Could it be that Kidd stole a string of signal lights out of loyalty? How could he move so quickly... No, this color, is it a police light?"
…
A minute or two ago.
In the park near Sakimori Pier.
When Inspector Megure realized that the case they encountered tonight was not a murder case, he originally wanted to retreat with two colleagues from the First Investigation Section.
But when he saw the unreliable Inspector Nakamori, he stopped silently again.
