Chapter 2303 2315 [Antidote for APTX4869]
Kidd's eyes fell on the uniquely shaped hairpin that looked like an "A", and he was speechless: "..." Why get new equipment? Next time I want to pretend to be you, don't I have to get the same hairpin?
However, after taking a closer look at the hairpin, Kuroba Kaito gradually felt something strange in his heart. He asked thoughtfully, "Where did you buy it? The shape is very special."
Nakamori Aoko happily touched her new hairpin: "I didn't buy it, it was given as a gift in the invitation ticket - look! This is a brand new design, it was built in imitation of the Tokyo Tower."
Kuroba Kaito grasped the key words: "Invitation ticket? What invitation ticket?"
Nakamori Aoko tidied her fluffy hair and said, "You know the Tokyo Tower special observation deck, right? There will be a couple's private banquet there in two days. I'm lucky enough to win a free invitation ticket!"
Kuroba Kaito looked suspicious: "When did you develop a hobby of lottery?"
"I always try to win prizes, such as questionnaires on the street and the small receipts given after shopping in supermarkets, but the winning rate is not that high."
Nakamori Aoko was looking forward to it: "But it's worth it that I've persisted in smoking for so long, and it's finally rewarded! - The banquet at the Tokyo Tower Observatory. Just looking at the venue, you can tell that this must be a super luxurious banquet. I must save my stomach to eat a big meal there!"
Kuroba Kaito answered professionally, feeling that something was wrong: "A couple's private banquet? But I remember that the place was recently rented out to hold a memorial service to exhibit the secret treasures of a deceased rich man."
As he was talking, Kuroba Kaito's focus slipped to something else: "The news a few days ago said that the rich man bought a huge ruby before his death. The ruby will be exhibited on the observation deck of Tokyo Tower."
Nakamori Aoko waved her hand and said, "I've also read the news, but the exhibition and the banquet don't conflict, maybe they're held at the same time. And a ruby that big is likely to be targeted by Kidd - and it just so happens that the couple's invitation ticket is for two people, so I can bring one person. I plan to tell my dad and take him there. If I'm lucky, in addition to the feast, I might even be able to catch another Kidd!"
Kuroba Kaito, who was about to take a look at the gem: "..."
After showing off her beautiful hairpin, Aoko Nakamori turned around and thought about catching Kidd.
Kuroba Kaito stayed in his seat, feeling a chill on his back and as if he was being stared at by something.
"The pressure from Aoko and Uncle Nakamori shouldn't be that strong." Kuroba Kaito touched the goose bumps on his arm and silently pondered his intuition, "Is there really another hidden story behind this? Is the invitation ticket that I got by luck actually a trap for Aoko, or a trap for me, Kid, through Aoko?"
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone suddenly vibrated and an email came.
Kidd casually pulled out his cell phone and glanced down at it.
After seeing the sender's address, he paused: "..."
Mist Tengu!
It was actually Kiri Tengu who contacted him? !
"Could it be that the reason I felt goosebumps on my back just now was because this monster was targeting me?" Kidd nodded thoughtfully. "I didn't expect the monster brother to contact me on his own initiative. Has he finally gotten used to using his cell phone?"
Although this monster loves to rob him as soon as it appears, and relies on the air advantage brought by its real wings to win every battle, but generally speaking, this is also a rare and precious friend in his career as a phantom thief - in short, I haven't seen the monster for a while and I miss him a lot.
Kidd opened the email with emotion, wanting to see what Mist Tengu had sent.
Then I saw a few lines of cold text:
[I am Jiang Xia.]
You haven't been sending out notices very often recently, so I'd like to ask Kiri Tengu about your plans for theft in the next few days.]
Kidd: “…”
…Why is the cell phone I gave to Kiri Tengu in the hands of that detective? !
"My monster friend became the detective's monster friend, and his relationship with the detective is better than with me..." Kidd held the phone and once again felt like he was being backstabbed.
He silently made a straw man of the detective who was so popular with monsters for some reason, and then replied in a dull voice: [This is the secret of the thief.]
After a while, the phone buzzed again, and I received a reply from Jiang Xia:
[OK.
Secrets must be obtained in secret ways. Kiri Tengu said he will visit your assistant at midnight today.]
Kidd: “?!!”
Grandpa Terai has always believed in the legends about Mist Tengu, and is also very traumatized by the dried human flesh strips. Not to mention if Mist Tengu comes to his house in the middle of the night, even if he sees him in the daytime, he would want to call an ambulance and call the police... Grandpa Terai is over 60 years old, let him go!
"'Visiting' should be Jiang Xia's beautified way of saying it. If Brother Tengu really came, he would definitely not be so polite. He would probably enter through the balcony as usual. In the dead of night, there was a huge shadow with wings on the balcony..."
Kidd thought of Terai Kōnosuke, who had been in good health but had been paying close attention to the quick-acting heart pills recently, and felt that this was not going to work.
For the sake of his grandfather's life, he had no choice but to reply in humiliation, muttering in his heart: "Only a simple monster can think of such a cunning method. It must be the detective's instigation! Is this how Jiang Xia harvests the monsters' favorability? - Shameless, really shameless!"
…
The thief's inner thoughts cannot be heard far away.
So Jiang Xia only received an email full of information: [Saturday night, Tokyo Tower Observatory.]
"Not bad, it's easy to communicate." Jiang Xia closed the phone with satisfaction, "He is such a good thief to talk to."
Mist Tengu floated nearby, and thinking of the large number of energy cores contributed by Kidd, he nodded in agreement.
Other ghosts: “…”
Forget it, as long as there is something to grab. It doesn't matter whether the thief is good at communication or not.
…
Although there is some distance between Tokyo Tower and Teitan Junior High School, the incident that took place in such a well-known place is impressive enough.
Moreover, the two events happened at the same time, on the same day. Without any additional arrangements, as long as things developed naturally, Jiang Xia's goal would not be difficult to achieve.
"Then don't worry about this for now." Jiang Xia confirmed Kidd's condition, put away the phone, and cast his eyes far away to the next street. "Next, just deliver the antidote to Conan."
However, how to deliver the medicine naturally and appropriately is also a problem.
"Pretend to accidentally drop one? And just happen to drop it on the road Conan passes by?" Jiang Xia first thought of this most convenient method, but after thinking for a moment, he silently ruled out this option, "No, Conan is not the kind of person who puts everything he finds into his mouth, and the antidote for Aptx4869 doesn't have any special taste. Maybe he will think it's just an ordinary cold medicine that dropped."
