Chapter 226 Don’t Be Unlucky Again
As Jiang Xia walked towards the balcony, he felt the murderous aura behind him rising slightly, and sighed in disappointment.
However, if you think on the bright side, this is a gift for finding a cat. What matters is the thought behind it, so it’s nice to have it.
Jiang Xia held the baton in his pocket, ready to take away the fresh rations.
However, just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by a door panel flying like a bomb and hitting Kamimura Naoki's back heavily.
Jiang Xia took a quick step back, and almost at the same time, Kamimura Naoki overlapped with the door panel and fell in front of his feet with a clang.
Jiang Xia lowered his head silently and looked at the distance between the door and himself: "..." Too dangerous...
The source of danger stepped through the door and ran over.
Mao Lilan pulled him up and looked him up and down, looking at him worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Jiang Xia said somewhat reluctantly: "...Thanks to you, everything is fine."
As he said this, he looked down at Uemura Naoki and asked the ghost to pick up the murderous aura on the ground. The young man Uemura didn't look like he could endure hardship. After being hit, all the murderous aura disappeared...
Although Naoki Kamimura is very fragile mentally, he is still physically strong enough for a football player.
He paused for a few seconds, and his vision returned to normal in front of his dark eyes. He raised his hand tremblingly and prepared to push the door open.
Just as she exerted force, there was another "bang" on the door - Pingsong Quantum saw Akagi's brother in the living room. She rushed over in surprise and hugged the child: "Xiao Mamoru!"
Uemura Naoki: “@%￥*&…”
Conan walked around to the door, walked to Naoki Kamimura, squatted down and poked him.
After discovering that Naoki Kamimura was still alive and in great shape, Conan walked past him with confidence and entered the living room.
——For Naoki Kamimura, this result is actually not bad.
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Being knocked down by a single blow from Mao Lilan is worse than being stepped down by a sneak attack on Jiang Xia, and then being held down and beaten with a stick.
Compared to Jiang Xia, Xiaolan is indeed a kind and considerate person...
…
The live broadcast of Akagi Hero's game was still being broadcast on TV.
Now that Akagi's younger brother has been rescued, Akagi Hero naturally doesn't need to fix matches anymore. He must be told the news as soon as possible.
While the other three were busy dealing with the aftermath of the kidnapping case and comforting Akagi Mamoru, who was not frightened at all except for the last time when he was startled by the door,
Jiang Xia pulled open the curtains, pushed open the balcony door, and picked up the cat that was stuck to the ground by a piece of puppet clay.
When Jiang Xia went upstairs, the cat was still sleeping comfortably.
But now, the cat had already woken up because of something that would shock half the apartment building. It wanted to escape, but was forcibly detained by the mysterious object that appeared out of nowhere.
Jiang Xia didn't predict that he would notice Mao Lilan at the door.
But at the beginning, if Uemura Naoki didn't come to open the door, Jiang Xia also planned to knock on the door in the same way as Mao Li Ran, so she took measures first.
I didn't expect it to come in handy.
Jiang Xia touched the captured cat. The cat's whole body was full of resistance and it was struggling violently.
I forgot to ask my little brother to get the cat bag just now, it’s hard to catch it like this…
Jiang Xia first sent a message to Huangmao, who had not yet walked far, asking him for the bag.
He then looked down at the parent ghosts who were gathered with Xiao Bai.
The ghosts understood immediately and happily floated over and hugged him.
Not long after, the cat under Jiang Xia gradually stopped struggling.
The cat raised its head and looked at him with its big round eyes for a while. After hesitating for a moment, it stuck out its tongue and licked the back of his hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Xia dropped the clay, picked up the cat and hugged it.
This time, the cat did not struggle, but lay comfortably in his arms and even yawned.
Jiang Xia happily rubbed it a few times.
In the living room, Quantum Hiramatsu was still contacting Hideo Akagi.
Mao Lilan put down her phone and saw Jiang Xia coming back from the balcony. Her eyes quickly fell on the cat in his arms.
Then she looked at the cat's side and was startled: "This cat looks like the one my dad has been looking for recently."
"It should be the same one." Jiang Xia scratched the cat's chin. "I saw a photo of it when I went to your office before. This fur color is very unique, and this family doesn't seem to have a cat at home."
Mao Lilan looked around and nodded in agreement. Indeed, it was not enough to just put the cat on an open balcony. There were also some trophy frames and other things on the top of the cabinet that would break if dropped. It didn't look like a cat's home at all.
Since it was not raised by Naoki Kamimura, then it should be a cat that ran away from home - it was wearing a collar, and it was nestling so quietly and obediently in Jiang Xia's arms, not like a wild cat.
Coupled with this unique fur, this should be the one that Kogoro Mori is looking for.
Jiang Xia played with the cat for a while, then he seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Uemura Naoki who was still trapped by the door: "Do you know the owner of this house?"
Conan nodded and briefly explained the case of Naoki Kamimura kidnapping children.
In his opinion, Jiang Xia probably just wanted to go to the balcony to help Maori Kogoro catch the cat today, but ended up entering the kidnapper's lair by mistake. He didn't know whether to say that Jiang Xia was unlucky or the kidnapper was unlucky...
However, the most unlucky person must be the silly kid holding the game console next to him.
Fortunately, Jiang Xia and the others arrived in time, otherwise, when everything was over, this child would most likely have been killed to silence him.
——After all, Jiang Xia was right next to them. Whether he attracted the murder or the murder attracted him, anyway, since Jiang Xia was here, the children were in danger...
When Quantum Hiramatsu called Hideo Akagi, Ran Mouri acted quickly and called the police.
After the police arrived, Jiang Xia and his colleagues briefly provided the information they knew, left their contact information, and then left.
As for how the matter will be handled later, that is up to the police and people like Hideo Akagi and Naoki Kamimura.
Jiang Xia sent the cat all the way to the Mouri Detective Agency and successfully checked in in front of Mouri Kogoro.
In this way, he is associated with "Asahi Katsuyoshi's cat" and then with "Asahi Katsuyoshi".
In the future, when Kogoro Mori thinks of Asahi Katsuyoshi + Digital Murder at the same time, it will be easier for him to take the initiative to get involved.
After sending the cat away and receiving the imaginary case participation ticket, Jiang Xia still kept an eye on Murakami Jō's news from time to time.
But occasionally, he also has to deal with other things.
——Jiang Xia has to record an episode of a variety show.
He signed this contract to improve his reputation and get cases in the entertainment industry. But now, his reputation has been improved too much, and it seems that fewer people come to him to submit cases...
But things have come to this point. Even if I break the contract and don't leave, the reputation I have already gained will be difficult to suppress.
And if he went, he might come across some cases - in the entertainment industry of this world, there were many names that Jiang Xia found familiar.
