Chapter 267 Jiang Xia and the Gun (Character Star Value Added)
Unlike the detective team, the two robbers could not remain calm at this time - the jewelry they coveted was in the hands of another man, and their identities as robbers were exposed.
The two men looked at each other with determined expressions. They were about to say grimly, "Yes, we are the remnants of the 'Goblin'!", and then point the gun at someone at random and threaten Jiang Xia to hand over the watch.
Before they could open their mouths, they saw a flash from the corner of their eyes that Toru Amuro, who was a few meters away from them just now, was suddenly right in front of them.
Alarm bells rang in the man's head, and he raised his hand and fired a shot...but there was no sound.
In the corners that humans cannot see, the gaps in the gun in his hand have now been filled with unscientific puppet clay.
The sticky colloid makes the simple action of "pulling the trigger" extremely difficult, and the time of the gun seems to be infinitely stretched from the inside.
This precise operation of stuffing the clay in accurately and making it fill every inch of the gap is actually very difficult. If you are not careful, you may put it in the wrong position or even cause the gun to fire.
However, the contact time between Jiang Xia and the two robbers just now was long enough for him to slowly and secretly destroy their guns.
Moreover, the prototype of the puppet clay is the leg-stealing shikigami after signing the contract.
Now, as Jiang Xia has more Shikigami, the number, quality and controllability of the puppet clay are getting stronger.
When he brings more Shikigami home, whenever he wants to have a backup for Toru Amuro in the future, he won't have to go through the trouble of making a puppet to chew on in the trunk. He can just let the puppet clay condense into a sharp blade.
Amuro Toru felt a sudden chill in his heart.
He dodged to the side along the muzzle of the gun held by the man with the middle part of his body. He didn't hear any gunshot and thought the robber was just faking a move.
However, when he looked up, he saw the man with a middle-parted hairstyle staring at the gun in his hand in panic. It was not as if he was trying to dodge him on purpose, but he really didn't fire the gun.
“……”The remnants of the famous bandit group, just like this?
Toru Amuro felt that he had been too alert just now.
He punched the man with a middle-parted hairstyle in the abdomen with a bored look and snatched the gun away.
When the middle-parted man was lying on the ground retching, Amuro Toru was going to knock out another robber and then drive the robbers' car to call the police. But when he turned around, he saw that the fat man next to him had been thrown to the ground by Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia stepped on the goatee to prevent him from getting up, and at the same time looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle: "Let's go upstairs and take a look. I've always felt that there was movement on the roof, and... although the traces are not serious, the person living in this villa is more like a woman than two middle-aged men."
It means that the original owner of the house has been locked up by two robbers, so go and rescue her.
Toru Amuro nodded and ran quickly upstairs.
Jiang Xia naturally stayed behind to guard the criminals.
The man with the middle-parted hair was only punched in the stomach and didn't faint. He is now lying on the ground and unable to get up.
Jiang Xia looked at him, then looked at the goateed man who was unable to escape because he was stepped on by him, took out his baton, and smiled at them.
…
Haibara Ai was looking for a rope all over the room, intending to give it to Jiang Xia so that he could tie up the two gangsters. This way he wouldn't have to step on them all the time, which was very tiring.
As a result, as soon as I opened the cabinet door and looked inside, I suddenly heard a sudden knocking sound and a muffled scream from behind.
Haibara Ai was startled and turned her head suddenly.
I originally thought something unexpected had happened, but then I saw Jiang Xia took out a stick from somewhere and started hitting the two people on the ground with it. He hit them very quickly, as if he was in a hurry.
The sound was not too loud, the baton seemed to have been silenced, and the mouths of the two gangsters were also blocked... In short, they looked very skilled.
Haibara Ai stared blankly over there, the baton rising and falling in her pupils, her little hands raised and put down again, not knowing where to put them.
She thinks this should be stopped, after all, violent behavior is not worth promoting.
But, but maybe Jiang Xia was just acting - after all, there was a member of the organization upstairs who was suspected to be his superior, and Jiang Xia might just be using his actions to smoothly integrate himself into the organization and avoid being discovered by his superiors as a slacker.
...Yeah, that's right. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case.
Otherwise, why would Jiang Xia suddenly hit someone?
It's all the organization's fault.
She tried hard to ignore Jiang Xia's hidden joy and continued to turn around and look for the rope silently.
Once found, there will be a reason for Jiang Xia to stop.
By the way, this was clearly the first time Jiang Xia knocked someone in front of her, but why did she always have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...
…
Also watching, Conan was much calmer than Haibara Ai.
——Just now when Jiang Xia asked Amuro Toru to rescue someone, he felt something was wrong. He stayed to take a look and found that things had turned out like this.
...Forget it. After all, he was a vicious gunman and didn't deserve sympathy. Besides, Jiang Xia wouldn't kill anyone anyway.
More importantly, neither he nor Huihara Ai has the ability to hold Jiang Xia back... It's better to keep an eye on him first, and if the criminal looks like he's dying, go and pull Amuro Toru down. Amuro Toru is an adult male after all, so he should be more effective than him in stopping the criminal.
Thinking of this, Conan suddenly had a new idea.
Jiang Xia deliberately waited until Toru Amuro left before starting to knock on people. According to this logic, is Toru Amuro a good person who would even save a criminal?
...No, it can't be that simple. Maybe Jiang Xia just didn't want to be stopped when he was happily knocking someone.
Or maybe Jiang Xia was really eager to save people, but also really wanted to knock them out, so he adopted this method of having the best of both worlds...
…
The villa is not small. Toru Amuro searched the second floor, the third floor... and finally found Nakamura So who was locked up in the attic.
He broke the lock and rescued the people.
The unfortunate granddaughter wasn't seriously injured, but she was tied up for too long and her hands and feet were numb.
After a while, two people walked down from the attic.
Amuro Toru's pace was rather fast - he suddenly remembered that although he had confiscated the gun of the man with the middle part, he had not yet confiscated the gun of the man with the goatee. He didn't know whether the two robbers only had one gun, or the man with the goatee also had a gun but hadn't taken it out just now.
If it is the latter, it would be too dangerous. I hope Jiang Xia won’t be ambushed.
However, when he returned to the study on the first floor, Toru Amuro realized that he had been worrying too much - the two gangsters were lying on the ground, already unconscious. Jiang Xia must have knocked them unconscious on purpose to prevent them from counterattacking, which was very clever of him.
I don’t know why, but the expressions of the two gangsters looked very uneasy, and it didn’t look like they were knocked out by a single blow.
But considering that they were just one step away from getting the priceless gem, but were knocked out by Wuqing before that, everything became understandable...
