Chapter 272 Boss, you charge so fast
Kidd didn't waste any time and immediately handed over the club.
Wu Tengu lowered his head to look at it, took the club, and wiped it with a cloth very meticulously before starting to play with satisfaction.
Kidd observed secretly and found that Mist Tengu's teeth, which symbolized "I want to eat people", had retracted, so he felt relieved.
Krypton gold is still useful. In order to protect Aoko and other innocent people from being eaten by monsters, he and Grandpa Terai really sacrificed too much...
Kidd sighed, and while Mist Tengu was busy with the golf club, he turned to take a look outside.
The police who had just rushed into the billiard hall were not here for Kaito Kid, but officers from the Organized Crime Countermeasures Department. The unconscious boss and his black-clad underlings had been loaded into the car one after another.
Lian Luo, an old subordinate of the boss, was also among those taken away. Grandpa Terai also chased after them, and the two old rivals looked at each other with sympathy.
No one noticed this side.
Kidd retracted his gaze, walked back to Mist Tengu, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "By the way, after a while... I may have to go to your hometown."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
He was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly his train of thought coincided with Kidd's - "hometown" should refer to the mountain where Shanni Temple is located.
The legend of the Mist Tengu was most popular in that area, so the old monk used the legend to kill Zhongnian.
Otherwise, this "hometown" couldn't possibly refer to Jiang Xia's own home...
After figuring this out, Jiang Xia looked at Kidd with a strange look - just go, why did you specially notify him, is he addicted to being robbed?
Besides, what kind of treasures could there be in the deep mountains...Jiang Xia began to search for related cases in his memory bank.
Kidd noticed Mist Tengu's slight doubt, so he chose his words and continued, "I'm not going to steal treasures this time. I just want to go over and find out something. So I'm telling you in advance."
——The main thing is that he is afraid that the Mist Tengu will discover his whereabouts again like today, and follow him secretly, thinking that there is a treasure. Then when he arrives at the place, he finds that there is no treasure at all, and then he will beat him up in anger, or eat human food to satisfy his cravings... That would be too unfair.
This time, Jiang Xia was unable to keep up with Kidd's broad train of thought.
But there was one thing he did manage to realize—there might be a case.
Jiang Xia temporarily put down his golf club and asked Kidd about the time and specific location of his entry into the mountain.
After Kidd answered, he curiously thought of a question - how do monsters usually tell time? Do they also use a calendar?
...But, after all, he is a monster living in the modern world. Since Mist Tengu always follows the notice in the newspaper to rob him, the date is of course not a problem. There is no need to worry.
Wait, speaking of following the notice in the newspaper...
Kidd hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't suppress his curiosity.
Seeing that Kiri Tengu was holding a golf club and seemed to be in a good mood, he took the opportunity to ask, "How did you find me today? The boss should not have published my notice in the newspaper."
Jiang Xia said perfunctorily: "It was a chance encounter."
"Is that so..." Kidd was relieved. Mist Tengu should not bother to lie. It seemed that the monster brother did not follow him secretly. He mainly relied on newspapers to find his crime scenes and then wait in ambush.
But speaking of newspapers, a monster who usually lives in the mountains shouldn't be able to subscribe to that kind of thing, right? Did he steal...rob...other people's newspapers?
After all, newspapers are usually inserted in mailboxes, where they are easily accessible...
…
After Jiang Xia absorbed the last bit of energy core, he looked at the comfortable ghosts around him and handed the club to Kidd.
Then Kidd was silent for a moment, and then he whispered to share his experience: "Don't just take the newspaper from one family. It doesn't matter if this cheap thing is lost once or twice, but if it is lost every time, the owner may call the police or even install a camera at the door of the house."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
After Kidd finished speaking, he left quickly with his golf club. At the same time, he felt guilty, thinking that he had corrupted the monster.
Jiang Xia watched him run away in confusion.
After Kidd's back disappeared, Jiang Xia still didn't understand the source of the words just now, so he was too lazy to continue figuring it out.
He dealt with the things on the vest, disbanded the puppet, and returned to his main body.
…
The next day, Jiang Xia went to the detective agency to check the mailbox as usual.
There were a lot of things in the mailbox, and he took them all out. As he walked into the house, he picked out the advertisements and threw them into the trash can.
After throwing it away, the stack of papers in my hand suddenly became half as thick.
All that was left was a pile of newspapers and the client's appointment form.
Jiang Xia was just about to categorize the orders, but at this moment, an envelope suddenly fell out of the newspaper and landed on the ground with a thud.
Jiang Xia was startled, then picked up the letter with a hint of surprise.
Turning it over, Jiang Xia: "..."
——Written in three large characters were the sender’s name: Nakamura So.
With a glimmer of hope, she opened it and read the content, which was obviously hoping that Jiang Xia could go to her grandfather's villa and help solve the puzzle.
The watch case that had just been solved.
...It seems that after the letter was sent, the people from Jiangxia arrived before the letter arrived.
The first commission letter he received turned out to be about an old case. Jiang Xia sighed, tore up the phone number and name on the letter, and threw the letter and the flyer into the trash can.
Jiang Xia's mood dropped sharply after the client made a feint.
However, in the evening, he suddenly received a call from Toru Amuro, inviting him to work part-time.
…
The next morning, Jiang Xia went to a wedding company according to the address given by Toru Amuro.
Then, at the gate, I unexpectedly saw Toru Amuro.
The reason for the surprise was that, in the past, Toru Amuro had given him many part-time jobs, but he was asked to cover for the shift on those occasions.
But today, looking at the situation...Toru Amuro actually wants to do this part-time job as well.
...Boss, you recharged it so quickly?
Jiang Xia approached suspiciously and expectantly, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
Today, Toru Amuro did not drive his beloved Mazda, but the advertising vehicle of a wedding planning company - he took a part-time job here to help prepare for a wedding.
The main selling point of this wedding company is "personalization" - the customer is God. As long as the customer makes a request, no matter how outrageous, the company will do its best to undertake it.
In order to meet the various requests from customers, it is inevitable to go to various places to purchase various items and order various props. Today, Amuro Toru and he are responsible for coordinating those small details.
On the way to pick up the customized props, Toru Amuro first turned on his anti-eavesdropping device and took a walk around in the car.
Then he turned off the instrument and looked at Jiang Xia: "Have you heard of Matsumoto Kiyonaga?"
