Chapter 2430 2442 [Tower]
In any case, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about Mist Tengu's friendship environment.
Kidd's mind quickly returned to the main business. He took a deep breath and walked out: Today's monster brother seems to be reliable, at least he is not interested in human flesh. In this case, I will entrust Qingzi to him for the time being. As for himself... he has to meet the suspicious guy who is following them first.
…
In the corridor.
Suddenly, he lost the person and was about to go to the bathroom to check it out. However, his eyes paused and fell on the high school girl who came out again.
"Who are you?" Before he could dodge, the female high school student walked straight over to him. "I saw you on the first floor just now. You actually followed me all the way here. What do you want to do?"
——According to the information Jiang Xia provided, this sneaky guy named Knitted Hat doesn’t seem to be in the same group as the group that sent him the notice.
Now that things have come to this, Kidd knows what will happen next without the detective's reminder: since these two groups don't look like good people, it's a good opportunity to invite them to join the game together. It would be best if there is a wonderful dog-eat-dog scene.
So even though Kidd exposed the suspicious knitted hat's stalking behavior, his tone was neither harsh nor serious. Instead, it was somewhat humorous, as if a lively high school girl was scolding the other party and providing an opportunity for communication and explanation.
Next to it, an innocently passing Dark Cloud Snow Cat froze in its tracks and shuddered at the tone of voice.
Jiang Xia, who had just changed into a cat puppet: "..." Kidd really has his own unique insights when it comes to playing a girl... But just thinking that under this cute appearance and even cuter tone there is actually a male high school student makes one's toes tingle.
In front, Shuichi Akai detected the inexplicable meaning of peace talks emanating from "Nakamori Aoko". He was silent for a moment, as if trying to figure out the other party's intentions.
After a moment, he said half-truthfully, "It's not stalking, it's just a stop by - I received an invitation letter asking me to come to the top of this tower at midnight tonight. This letter is very confusing to me."
"Invitation?" Kidd said, "What kind of invitation?"
Akai Shuichi looked at her, and with a bit of tentativeness, he read out the message sent by Uzo word for word: "'I will seal your treasure on a spotless pile on Saturday night when the moon is late.'"
Kidd, who was just asking casually, said: "?!"
...Isn't this the content of the notice he received? Not a single word is wrong, exactly the same!
Kidd: "..." So why can this knitted hat say this? Could it be that those guys lurking in the dark are not just targeting this thief, but are targeting a large number of people?
...A notice as important as this can be sent out to a large group? This is ridiculous, it's simply an insult to the phantom thief industry!
A vein popped out on Kidd's forehead, and he felt vaguely like he was being despised.
He took a deep breath and tried not to change his expression: "In this case, let's go up and take a look together."
…
The two people, each with their own ulterior motives, went upstairs one after the other.
Half a minute after they left, a cat with a black body except for its four snow-white paws jumped out from the corner and tried to follow them quietly.
However, just as he took a step, the Dark Cloud Snow Cat suddenly noticed something. He paused and turned to look behind him.
Behind him, a man in black who was also a stalker was startled by the sudden appearance of the cat and took two steps back.
The two sides looked at each other, and the young man in black muttered shamelessly: "Where did this black cat come from? It's really unlucky!"
"......?" Jiang Xia looked down at the four snow-white cat paws beneath him: How can the Dark Cloud Snow Cat be confused with an ordinary black cat? Are you color blind?
After hesitating for a moment, the fake cat finally ignored this human who lacked murderous intent and taste. He took a step forward and chased after the source of murderous intent in front of him.
The black-clad boy stood there in a daze, not expecting that he would be ignored by a cat. He wanted to chase after it and get his revenge, but he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to argue with a cat.
Just as he was struggling, a voice suddenly came from the headset. The black-clad boss probably noticed that his signal light had stopped at the same place, so he asked, "What happened?"
“No, nothing!” The black-clothed brother came back to his senses and quickly threw the cat aside, finding an excuse for his distraction, “I was worried that they would find me if I got too close, so I deliberately walked slower to keep a distance.”
The black-clad boss was somewhat dissatisfied but did not blame them: it was obvious that the one-sided beating not long ago had left a deep impression on him, which forced him to re-examine the abilities of his younger brothers and arrange the subsequent tracking more carefully.
He said, "Judging from the transmitter on that girl, they have already boarded the elevator. Let's go over there quickly."
"Yes!" The younger brother did not dare to delay and followed quickly.
A little further away, the black-clad boss hung up the intercom, stared at the signal dot on the screen, frowned, and looked a little puzzled: "By the way, how did that high school girl get here so quickly? Doesn't she have to take a statement? I thought she would be late."
Behind him, the boy with glasses pushed his broken glasses and calmly thought of something: "When we ran into her before, her signal point showed that she was somewhere else. I think there might be something fishy going on."
The black-clad boss waved his hand impatiently. "What trick could there be? Our transmitter is on a hairpin, not on her. This cunning woman must have put the hairpin somewhere else to confuse us, so there was a deviation between the signal and her position. Later, she ran into us by chance and realized that her plan had failed, so she put on the hairpin again, wanting us to think that the location of the hairpin was not hers, but I saw through her... Humph, she can actually outsmart me in strategy, you are worthy of being Kaito Kidd."
The boy with glasses: “…” Really, is this really the case?
Suddenly, the surveillance screen on the laptop moved.
"!" The black-clad boss immediately came to his senses, stopped paying attention to his stupid little brother, and looked down at the screen.
On the screen, the surveillance camera showed the circular exhibition hall on the top floor. At this moment, the elevator door slid open silently, and two figures walked out one after the other.
"Here he comes. Kidd has finally stepped onto the stage I carefully prepared for him." The black-clad boss sneered and was about to make a speech. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. "Nakamori Aoko is still normal, but Inspector Nakamori...did he look like this before?"
