Chapter 268 Why Mist Tengu Can Enter the Bar
Although the man with goatee and middle-parted hair are robbers, they have retired from the underworld ten years ago, and their ability to withstand blows and their mentality have deteriorated a lot.
Jiang Xia successfully knocked down the murderous aura and put it away before the owner of the house and Amuro Toru went downstairs.
He handed the found watch to his hapless granddaughter.
At this moment, the gems on the watch had dimmed a little unconsciously - there was also a tiny energy core in the watch. After all, these gems were essentially stolen goods.
Toru Amuro took a look at the watch and vaguely felt that the gloss was not right.
But when I got the watch just now, the room was completely dark, with only the strong flashlight shining on the jewelry. And now, Jiang Xia has turned on the light in the study, and the light changes, and the gloss changes as well, which is also normal...
Nakamura So thanked them and then took out a landline phone from the utility room.
She is a mystery novelist who had long planned to move to this villa to find inspiration. She had already shipped her luggage and paid all the fees. However, she had a strong procrastination habit and had not unpacked her luggage.
After the call was made, the police arrived quickly and took in the two robbers who were still unconscious.
Nakamura handed over the jewelry and watches to the police. To her, this villa full of mysteries was more attractive than the jewelry that came from illegal sources.
…
The group eventually got back to downtown Tokyo in a police car.
By the time we finished dealing with the bandit gang and left the police station, it was already dark.
Toru Amuro asked someone to tow his car to the suburbs, while he got another car to drive. It was not known which owner was responsible for reimbursement for this car.
Jiang Xia didn't take his car again. According to the "Observation Notes on Detective Habits - Amuro Toru" in his mind, once entering the urban area of Tokyo, Amuro Toru's ability to attract cases will drop sharply.
Moreover, two incidents have happened around him in succession in the past few days... It's about time the boss could take a break and gather strength for the next outing.
When Dr. Agasa heard about this, he drove his little Beetle to pick up Jiang Xia and the two fake kids and took them home.
…
Jiang Xia originally thought that today would end peacefully.
However, when passing through a busy neighborhood, Mist Tengu seemed to notice something.
It clung to the car window, looked out for a while, then flew out and turned around.
When the car stopped at a nearby red light, Mist Tengu happily got back into the car, as if he had discovered something.
It poked Jiang Xia and brought back good news - it saw Kidd nearby.
As he said this, he swallowed his saliva.
When the other ghosts heard this name, their eyes lit up immediately, and their reaction was similar to that of Mist Tengu.
Energy cores are also precious supplements. For ghosts who have tasted them, they are now like quenching their thirst by looking at plums. When they see Kidd, they start to crave energy cores reflexively.
Jiang Xia also became excited.
He looked back at the place he had just passed, remembering the location, and asked Wu Tiangou to explain in detail.
…
At this time, Kidd and Terai were waiting for someone in a nearby alley.
Not long after, a high school girl in casual clothes came jogging in front of them.
This is Nakamori Aoko, Kid's childhood sweetheart. Her father is Nakamori Ginzo, the unlucky police officer from the Second Investigation Division who chases Kid every day.
Of course, Nakamori and his daughter don't know Kid's true identity at the moment. If they knew, they would probably team up to smash his head off.
…
In the alley, Kidd saw Nakamori Aoko running closer, looked at her clothes, and sighed: "You can't enter the bar dressed like this."
Next to him, Grandpa Terai reminded him sternly: "Master, this is not a bar, it's a billiard club."
Kidd waved his hand indifferently: "That's what I mean anyway."
What happened today is actually a private matter.
——When Terai was young, he was a master of billiards in this area. He once had a precious billiard cue, which was inlaid with countless diamonds and emeralds, and only belonged to the king.
"Once upon a time", because decades ago, the billiard cue was won by another billiard club called America. The owner of that club came prepared, not only bringing a subordinate with superb billiard skills, but also secretly tampering with Terai's shell powder.
Countless years later, when Grandpa Terai recalled this incident, although he was indignant, he had no choice but to accept defeat.
But the thief's thinking was not so legal - Kidd felt that if someone had cheated him out of a golf club, he could cheat and win it back.
So a few days ago, Kidd sent a letter of advance notice to the boss of the American department, intending to steal the King's club.
Tonight, Kidd plans to sneak into the billiard hall in his true identity and create chaos.
…
America is nominally a billiard club, but it has a bar and a gambling venue inside... In short, in theory, it refuses admission to 17-year-old high school students like Kidd and Aoko Nakamori.
However, rules are one thing, and enforcement is another - for this kind of store, the less particular the owner is, the more lax the management is usually.
Ten minutes later, Kidd and Aoko Nakamori successfully sneaked into America and sat at the bar.
Kidd sat upright like a proper adult, glanced at the various drink menus, and asked for a double scoop of chocolate ice cream.
Old man Terai was sitting next to them, sweating profusely under the bartender's suspicious gaze. He quickly ordered a cocktail for Nakamori Aoko in an attempt to make amends.
When the desserts and drinks came, Kidd caught a glimpse of a man entering the door and walking towards this side.
Kidd glanced over casually and was stunned for a moment.
The man was tall, wearing a simple kimono, and carrying a long, narrow black package on his back, which was larger on the top and smaller on the bottom.
...Mist Tengu.
——This monster found a piece of cloth from somewhere and covered its wings.
...quite skilled, actually knows how to blend into human society as naturally as possible.
...No, that's not the point. The point is why it suddenly appeared here?
Kidd glanced at Mist Tengu, then his eyes swept over Nakamori Aoko beside him. He suddenly thought of something and froze slightly.
——From the information he had gathered, the police had gradually noticed the existence of Mist Tengu. Of course, in their eyes, Mist Tengu was currently just an ordinary human with a special black hang glider on his back.
Kidd usually appears at night, so the Mist Tengu that came to rob him also mostly appeared at night, and the Mist Tengu seemed to consciously avoid lights and cameras. In short, most people who have witnessed it have seen it with their naked eyes.
Under the dark night sky, the equally dark wings of the Mist Tengu were not so obvious, and the features of its clothes and appearance were also very vague. So it was still safe for now.
...But Kidd always felt that if this trend continued, sooner or later, the police would see the full picture of Kiri Tengu and mistake Kiri Tengu for Kidd's accomplice or something like that...
In other words, if Kiri Tengu suddenly showed that he knew him, and this scene was seen by Nakamori Aoko...
