Chapter 169 Other Uses of Puppets
Conan put down the receiver doubtfully and looked at the other three people in the room: "He said that he stole the explosives from the Oriental gunpowder depot and asked me to go to Green Park now and show me the evidence... I'll go over and take a look."
As he said that, he picked up his skateboard and ran out the door quickly.
…
The three people in the room looked at each other for a moment.
Jiang Xia remembered something and turned to leave: "Then I'll go take a look too."
"Oh, okay, be careful!" With Jiang Xia following him, Dr. Agasa felt much more at ease. "If you need support, remember to call me at any time!"
Huihara Ai didn't say anything, but she nodded slightly. Her meaning was obviously the same as that of Professor Agasa.
…
Jiang Xia went home, pushed his motorcycle, and headed for the green park.
This park is built right next to the river. Although there are not many recreational facilities, there is a huge clean lawn where many people play.
Jiang Xia did not get closer and parked the motorcycle under a tree outside the park.
In the lush shade of the trees, he opened the front cover of his helmet and scanned the park, his eyes quickly fixed on a few familiar children.
——Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta were mixed in with a group of tourists and having a lot of fun.
They held a remote control with a joystick in their hands, their eyes fixed on a remote-controlled plane in the sky. No one knew where they got this high-end toy from.
Jiang Xia took a look and understood: as far as he could remember, that beautiful remote-controlled plane was loaded with a considerable amount of explosives.
And according to the current crowd density in the park...
While there was no one around, Jiang Xia took out two Shikigami from the seal space and spread them out in his hands.
A second later, the shikigami gradually transformed from an illusory ghost into a ball of solid puppet clay.
…
This time, Jiang Xia did not fill the ghost fetus into the clay.
Instead, he squeezed it hard a few times like kneading plasticine.
Soon, a white dove, the same color as the "clay", landed on his palm.
Jiang Xia looked around and couldn't help showing a little bit of disgust: "..."
Due to material and time limitations, although the shape of this "pigeon" is the same as that of an ordinary pigeon, a closer look reveals that it is not furry at all and is a fake.
"..." However, on the bright side, as long as it is fast enough and flies far enough, at first glance, apart from its slightly larger size, it is actually no different from an ordinary pigeon.
It's not a big problem.
…
This small puppet is far less powerful than the puppet supported by the ghost fetus, and cannot withstand Jiang Xia's possession.
Fortunately, in addition to "personally performing the operation", the psychic can also choose to control it remotely - for this kind of small puppet, as long as it is skilled enough, there is not much difference between that and possessing it with consciousness.
Jiang Xia raised his hand, and the fake pigeon took off from his hand, fluttering towards the direction of the remote-controlled plane.
…
At the same time.
Conan rode a skateboard to the Green Park and quickly found his three friends.
Conan ran over quickly and was stunned when he saw the three people playing with the remote-controlled plane.
"..." In my impression, although the Junior Detective Team came from a well-off family, they seldom played with such high-end toys.
Combined with the threatening phone call he just received, Conan suddenly had a bad feeling: "Where did this toy come from?"
The three children followed the plane in the sky and said happily: "It was given to us by an uncle wearing sunglasses and a big beard!"
"...How dare you accept something from such a suspicious person?!" Conan's forehead jumped, "Give me the remote control! We have to fly it into the river quickly. This remote-controlled plane may be equipped with a bomb!"
Ayumi was shocked: "Bomb?!"
Mitsuhiko looked suspicious: "Why do you say that?"
Genta looked at the remote control that Ayumi handed to Conan, felt that it was not good, and rolled up his sleeves: "What bomb? You obviously just want to play by yourself!"
The four children instantly rolled into a ball and started scrambling for control of the remote control.
In the chaos, the remote control fell to the ground with a clang and stopped working.
A few dozen meters away, Jiang Xia, who was observing secretly, said: "..."
I remember that the bombs on the remote-controlled planes were quite powerful. Once the bombs exploded in crowded places, they could cause massive casualties and form a group of ghosts full of resentment.
Fishing out ghosts from a swarm of ghosts is an exclusive experience that only blackened psychics who are not afraid of their lives dare to have. For Jiang Xia at the moment, if he encounters a swarm of ghosts, as an innocent psychic who does not want to tear the resentful souls alive, he will not only not be able to pick up many ghosts, but he may even be robbed.
...Fortunately, I never counted on these naughty kids from the beginning.
Jiang Xia looked at his own fake white pigeon in the air and wanted to push his glasses with a "click" to hide his achievement...but he didn't have glasses, so he had to push his helmet with a "click" instead.
…
In the green park.
Conan picked up the remote control from the ground, and pressed it hard with a pale face, but he was completely unable to control the movement of the plane.
The buzzing sound was approaching rapidly. He looked up suddenly and saw that the out-of-control remote-controlled plane seemed to have eyes and was diving towards the most crowded area.
Conan's face turned pale. He squatted down suddenly, deciding to take a gamble, and unscrewed the enhanced lining of his shoes.
But before he found something to kick, a white shadow suddenly passed by in the air - a pigeon stretched out its claws to grab the remote-controlled plane, flapped its wings hard, and lifted it high into the sky in an instant.
"boom--"
The plane exploded into a huge ball of fire.
A violent gust of wind spread out from mid-air, and the crowd fell to the ground screaming. The Young Detective Team was blown to the ground several times.
They lay on the grass with their heads covered, staring blankly at the smoke rising from the explosion.
After a moment, the three naughty kids realized that they had escaped, and they immediately burst into tears: "Woo woo woo pigeons——"
Conan didn't expect that the problem would be solved like this.
He also felt sad for the pigeon that bravely acted bravely, but at this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
"..." The situation was urgent, and now was obviously not a good time to mourn the pigeon.
Conan observed a second of silence and picked up the phone - this mobile phone was connected to the landline at home, and the caller was the bomb demon from before.
Conan wiped the dirt off his face, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"
The bomb demon still used the voice changer, and his voice was sharp and thin: "Why didn't Kudo come?"
Conan: “!”
...Oh no, I forgot to turn on the voice changer, so now he is still using Conan's voice.
I was hurriedly adjusting the voice changer.
At this time, the bomb demon spoke again: "Heh, he's not going to send a brat like you to fool me, is he?"
Conan was stunned: Wait, how did the bomber know that Kudo Shinichi wasn't here? Could it be that... that person was hiding nearby, watching this place? !
"Forget it, just listen to me." The bomb demon was surprisingly easygoing. Seeing that Conan didn't answer, he snorted and continued to talk to himself, "The next bomb is in the small square in front of Beika Station. It will explode just after 1 o'clock. If Kudo doesn't come, you will be responsible for finding it for me - since Kudo trusts you so much, if you and the station are blown into fireworks, I think he will be willing to come out, hahaha!"
"..." Conan was silent for a second, gritted his teeth, and went with the flow, abandoning his moral integrity.
He suddenly changed into a child's voice: "Uncle, wait a minute! You only said 'in the square'. The square is so big, and I'm just a kid, I can't find the place. Give me some clues."
Bomb Demon: “…”
…It seems to make sense. It’s boring to be an opponent of a child. And this is only the second bomb. If it explodes now, the remaining real “feast” will not bring the shock it should bring.
Thinking of this, he sneered:
"Well, I'll just say it once - the clue is 'under the tree', but it doesn't mean buried under the tree.
"Hurry up, if someone else takes it, I won't be responsible for after-sales service."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a click.
…
"Under the tree..."
After experiencing the explosion of the remote-controlled plane just now, Conan no longer had any hope - this mysterious bomb demon might really be a robber who robbed the Oriental gunpowder depot.
As he pondered this hint, he rushed to the side of the road, stepped on his skateboard, and planned to rush to the Rice Flower Station.
But at this moment, Conan turned around and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance on the road outside the park.
——Under the roadside trees, Jiang Xia was sitting astride a motorcycle. He seemed to have just arrived and was about to get off.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses and quickly dialed Jiang Xia's number.
"Hello?" Jiang Xia quickly picked up the phone, and a steady and reliable voice came from the receiver, "Are you okay? How is the situation?"
"The situation is good, no one is injured at the moment." Conan said anxiously, "By the way, don't come over here! That person is probably observing this place - now he has lowered the difficulty and given hints because I am a child... But if he sees you, who is also a high school detective, he might shift his target from 'Kudo Shinichi' to you, and increase the intensity of intimidation."
