Chapter 2429 2441 [Monster's Toy] Ask for monthly ticket (づど)
Colleagues who received the message from Akai Shuichi: "..."
This is the nth important breakthrough! Can you carefully screen before issuing tasks? !
Meanwhile, on the other side.
James looked at the newly received email with a confused expression.
After a moment, he picked up the telescope, looked at Mouri Ran who was helping the police identify the "kidnapping location", and then looked at the familiar Inspector Megure next to Mouri Ran, and became even more confused.
"Why investigate Inspector Megure?" James stroked his chin, lost in thought, "Could it be that this police officer with a mustache is also Uzo's accomplice?... That's not right. If that's the case, Akai could just mention Megure's name. Why bring up his mustache?"
"Is he too busy to remember anything? Is he losing his memory? Or is he hinting at something?"
Thinking of this, James frowned and cautiously reminded other colleagues: "Akai's condition is a bit strange, you should observe more carefully, and report to me immediately if you find any abnormalities."
…
Under the complicated gazes of colleagues scattered in various locations, Shuichi Akai followed the "father and daughter" and slowly walked upstairs.
As he walked, the tips of his ears moved slightly and he gradually felt something was wrong: Why did the middle-aged man call Miss Maori "Aoko"?
And think about it carefully, Mao Lilan just encountered a kidnapping case, and then appeared here again... Is this time really enough for her to finish the statement, change her hairstyle and rush over?
Having come across similar things before, Akai Shuichi finally came to his senses and changed his train of thought:
“Could it be that this Miss Maori is someone disguised as someone else? …Is it Vermouth, or Kaito Kidd?”
Shuichi Akai: "..." So, if I remember correctly, a temporary exhibition was being held on the top floor of this tower. Among the products were many antiques and some precious gems, which seemed to be in line with Kaito Kid's preferences.
so……
"Is that girl disguised as Kidd?"
"...An international thief like Kidd was also dragged into the script by that person?"
…
Up ahead, Kuroba Kaito was pretending to be a loving father and daughter with his childhood neighbor while listening to the noise behind him.
Kuroba Kaito: "..." Why is that knitted hat following them?
Although that guy's movements were disguised very naturally, and he even avoided some angles that could be illuminated by reflective objects... but tracking is tracking, the higher you go, the fewer people there are, and the more obvious this movement becomes.
"Is this the person who sent me the mini notice and secretly arranged for Aoko to win the dinner experience ticket here?" Kuroba Kaito silently became alert. "I don't know what their purpose is... It's a pity that I am a law-abiding citizen. Otherwise, I could find a way to catch him and ask him. Things would be simple."
While thinking, he turned the corner and passed by the door of a restroom.
The next moment, I heard a breeze blowing by my ears, and the area around me suddenly became empty.
Kuroba Kaito, whose attention was all on the back, was stunned: "..." Wait, what happened just now, where is Aoko?
Before he could come to his senses, Kuroba Kaito disappeared with another flap of his wings.
…
In the bathroom, the thief who was suddenly packed up and dragged into the room: "???"
He looked at the Mist Tengu in front of him with a bewildered look on his face: "Didn't you just leave?"
The calm and reliable monster did not answer, but put the just knocked unconscious Nakamori Aoko into the compartment. At the same time, Kidd's phone vibrated and he received a message.
Kidd suspiciously opened his mailbox and found that it was actually Jiang Xia who sent the email: [The exhibition hall on the roof tonight will be more dangerous than you expected - I will help you keep an eye on the people, and you can take the person you are following with you.]
Kidd: “…”
What does the matter of the phantom thief have to do with a detective like you!
...However, looking at Mist Tengu who was already acting according to Jiang Xia's words, and weighing the gap in fighting power between himself, an ordinary human, and the monster, Kidd swallowed his words silently.
"Damn it, what kind of magic potion did that detective feed to those innocent monsters? They all obey his words." Kidd muttered to himself, but he had to admit that what Jiang Xia said made sense - if there was indeed an unexpected danger on the roof, it would be best not to let Qingzi go up there.
"It's a good detective to think about ordinary citizens... But why would I go up to a romantic place like the top of the Midnight Tower with a sneaky uncle whose purpose is unclear?"
Kidd cried silently in his heart, but thinking of the enemies hiding in the dark outside, waiting for "Nakamori Aoko" who had received the dinner invitation, he knew that now was not the time to dawdle - if he disappeared for too long, those people outside would come in with weapons and trap him in this narrow bathroom, and things would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Kidd took out his disguise props and disguised himself as Nakamori Aoko with ease.
Then he stepped forward and took off the "A"-shaped hairpin on the original Nakamori Aoko's head and put it on his own head.
——This hairpin was a gift sent by the "organizer" along with the letter when Aoko Nakamori won the "Dinner Experience Ticket".
Kidd had long thought that this hairpin was beautiful, but it seemed a little strange. After some observation, he quickly determined that it was not a simple hairpin. The gemstone on it was actually a transmitter that could continuously provide the wearer's location.
So in the past few days after receiving the hairpin, Kid found an excuse to convince Aoko Nakamori to leave it at home and not wear it until tonight - because it was a gift from the organizer, and out of courtesy, Aoko Nakamori pinned it on her head and brought it with her when she came to the banquet.
"The people invited are Kidd, who received the notice, and Nakamori Aoko, who received the dinner experience ticket. I, Inspector Nakamori, who went upstairs with you, have to leave for something, so it shouldn't be a problem."
Kidd adjusted her skirt and was about to go out, but suddenly remembered something: "..." Wait, although there is danger upstairs, is it safe here?
He suddenly turned around and looked at Kiri Tengu who was with Nakamori Aoko.
However, Mist Tengu didn't seem to have much appetite for the tender high school girl in front of him: compared to the air-dried human meat strips that were loved by the Tengu clan in the legend, the monster brother was obviously more interested in Nakamori Aoko's hair - without even noticing, the monster had already rubbed a corner of hair on Aoko's head. After the shape was set, he stepped back half a step, looked around, and seemed very satisfied with this shape, and flapped his wings slightly with pleasure.
Kidd was silent for a moment: "..." From this point of view, Aoko is somewhat similar to Jiang Xia's female classmate who is quite strong... Has Kiri Tengu seen her?
