Chapter 2909-2921 [Detective and Eagle]
After eating popcorn, I played with the ancient well and various old-fashioned farming tools in the yard for a while.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of the high school students, the falconer came over with his chestnut-winged hawk.
Although he had just seen this cute-looking eagle, the old-fashioned falconer still followed the procedure and introduced his own eagle.
Then he concluded: "Although this child may be a hunter in the sky, when facing humans, it is actually just a sensitive and fragile bird."
The sensitive and fragile little bird was now staring at Jiang Xia with its big eyes wide open, its sharp and curious gaze moving back and forth around this human being.
The unshaven-bearded falconer soothed the eagle in his hand with pity and reminded the high school students opposite: "Don't move too much, and don't point at the eagle or make sudden noises to scare it."
Everyone agreed.
Hattori Heiji looked at the eagle and suddenly remembered something. He whispered, "Speaking of this, I remember there was a pretentious guy in Tokyo who liked to carry an eagle with him wherever he went - Jiang Xia. Do you have much contact with him? How is his reasoning ability?"
There aren't many detectives who carry an eagle with them, and Jiang Xia immediately understood who Hattori Heiji was talking about. He recalled for a moment and was silent for a while: "..." I don't know his reasoning level, but at least there are fewer murders around him than you two.
...But it may also be because Hakuba Detective appeared with Kidd, and his event-related physique was diluted by the large human-shaped peace dove.
While thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to visit the famous detective alone and examine his potential, Jiang Xia casually answered Hattori Heiji's question: "The level of catching Kid is pretty good."
This is a very objective and true evaluation - at least compared to Kid's large-sized toy Inspector Nakamori, Detective Hakuba has already vaguely guessed the true identity of this phantom thief and has indeed caused Kid a lot of trouble.
"Kid..."
Hattori Heiji was somewhat interested in this mysterious and gorgeous thief, but not much. He quickly turned his attention back to Hakuba Tan, muttering to himself: "I'll meet him when I get a chance."
——If his reasoning speed is not as fast as Jiang Xia’s, does that mean he is not as fast as other Tokyo detectives?
The reason he kept fighting despite repeated failures was definitely not because he was too weak, but because Jiang Xia was abnormal. Instead of challenging Jiang Xia, what he should do now is to get in touch with more normal high school detectives and find his own position.
A dark-skinned detective who had been slightly traumatized by solving a case last night clenched his fists. For a moment, he had a new goal, and his whole body seemed to become passionate.
"Why are you secretly so excited again?" Yuanshan Heye glanced at him. They had been friends for more than ten years. She didn't need to look closely to know that he was inexplicably excited again. She pointed at the falconer in front of her and said, "It's time to start the experience. You go first?"
Hattori Heiji came back to his senses and looked at the falconer in confusion: "How do you experience it?"
The falconry experience certainly does not mean that tourists will actually come and train eagles.
The falconer took out a thick leather glove and a small box for holding bait: "Those who want to experience it, put on this glove and hand over the bait - I will let the eagle fly to your hand."
Looking at the high school girls who were eager to try but a little scared at the same time, he paused and reminded them, "Don't be nervous. People's emotions can be transmitted to Eagle. Just keep a normal attitude."
Hattori Heiji was not nervous at all: ever since he heard that some detectives carried squirrels and some detectives carried eagles, as a sophomore in high school, he would of course fantasize about having an animal to accompany him through life and death, solving many strange cases, and becoming a shining scenery in the newspaper.
Unfortunately, he was never able to find an animal partner who shared his passion.
...But today, maybe you can get an animal partner experience card.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji walked forward, took the gloves and put them on, then raised the bait box expectantly.
The falconer saw the steady hand and nodded slightly. He turned around and walked a few steps away with the eagle, then stopped 10 meters away and said, "Get ready, we're going over."
After Hattori Heiji responded, the falconer loosened the straps and made a small throwing motion.
The chestnut-winged hawk took off cooperatively, and then under Hattori Heiji's expectant gaze... it turned smoothly in an arc and swooped down on the other person behind him.
Hattori Heiji: "...?"
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around suddenly, just in time to see Jiang Xia raise his hands, accurately press the eagle's wings back, and then hug the chubby chestnut-winged eagle.
The chestnut-winged hawk had not yet come to its senses. It stared at him blankly with its round eyes, and its furry body squirmed twice in Jiang Xia's hands.
"Let it go!" The falconer was horrified and rushed over to pick up his beloved eagle. After checking and finding that the eagle was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought of caring for his guest, "Are you...are you okay?"
Jiang Xia shook his head, quietly grabbed the mermaid's tail, and tucked the other ghosts behind his back: "Maybe it likes the popcorn on me."
Hattori Heiji looked at Jiang Xia, then looked at his hand holding the bait: "......?"
Forget about solving the case, but why are you so weird when it comes to being popular with animals?!
Next to them, the falconer held the eagle and talked to it for a while, puzzled by the eagle's behavior of ignoring the bait and running to pounce on Jiang Xia.
He released and retrieved the bird several times himself, and these times, the chestnut-winged hawk's behavior returned to normal.
“Hmm…”
After a moment of confusion, the falconer looked at Hattori Heiji and hesitantly gave his guess: "Maybe... it hates you?"
Hattori Heiji: "?"
After all, he was in the wrong, so the falconer was more tactful: "I mean, maybe you accidentally got some smell on you, so it doesn't want to go over there - have you been to any special place just now?"
Hattori Heiji, who had just quietly searched someone's yard, said: "..."
This time it was his turn to be in the wrong.
"I forgot." He cleared his throat, took off his gloves, and quickly changed the subject. "He Ye, you guys try it."
…
After hiding the ghosts floating around, the innocent eagle was finally able to eliminate the distractions and start working seriously.
It passed the food from everyone's hands, ate until it was half full, and felt happy.
"Look, what a beautiful and lovely little creature." The falconer couldn't help but say, "I love birds, especially birds of prey, so I chose my current job - but unfortunately the number of customers coming to the store has dropped sharply, and our work is becoming less and less meaningful."
