Chapter 302: How to Stop a Suicidal Man
Kidd was slightly startled.
What he was most worried about today was that Mist Tengu would suddenly show up and kill everyone in the mountains... Unexpectedly, although Brother Tengu considerately did not show up, another troublesome person came.
Kidd was thinking about this in his mind, when he suddenly saw Jiang Xia seemed to notice his gaze and turned to look at him.
As their eyes met, Kidd reacted immediately.
He continued to maintain the kind smile that belonged to Red Herring, and asked like the others: "This is..."
Kuroda Naoko came closer again, pushed up her glasses, and smiled mischievously, "It's the 'magician's disciple' who always chats with you."
"...The magician's disciple? Him?!" Kidd was shocked.
...Aren't magician's apprentices girls? Could it be that his previous judgment was wrong: the term "magician's apprentice" always felt awkward, not because a girl was pretending to be a boy, but because a boy was trying to pretend to be a girl? ?
Thinking of this, Kidd suddenly remembered one thing - the "Disciple of the Magician" once wrote to ask him his name, and at that time he reported "Doi Takeshu".
...If the recipient is Jiang Xia, who pretends to be a cute girl, based on the speed at which this detective cracked the notice letter before, he must have reassembled the information of "Kaito Kidd" by now. So why does Jiang Xia continue to pretend to be a girl who admires him? What does this detective want to do? !
The words "Fishing!" flashed through Kidd's mind.
He secretly listened to the movements around him, worried that a police helicopter would suddenly descend from the sky, worried that the police would use Jiang Xia's tip to lure him into a trap...
But no, there was only the faint sound of the whistling mountain wind outside.
Various thoughts flashed through Kidd's mind for only a short time, and he soon returned to calm.
Because he suddenly remembered that he was not here to steal anything today, and he did not have any hard evidence to prove that he was a thief. Even if the police came, he would not be afraid at all...
Just as Kidd was observing Jiang Xia carefully.
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko was also observing the Doi Takeshu tree.
Her expression of being struck by lightning just now had turned into a snickering smile when she saw Doi Takeshu's confused look. As expected, online dating is not trustworthy. Fortunately, Jiang Xia was brought along this time! Is this the legendary good people get good rewards...
Mao Lilan vaguely felt that the look that "Doi Takeshu" gave Jiang Xia was not very friendly.
She was just about to ask in a tactful way what was going on, but suddenly she saw Suzuki Sonoko move closer to Jiang Xia and stare at Jiang Xia's back intently.
Mao Lilan's attention was immediately drawn to the scene, and she looked over in confusion: "What's wrong?" Is there something stuck on Jiang Xia's back?
Suzuki Sonoko exhaled happily, covered her eyes slightly exaggeratedly, and whispered: "Ah, my eyes feel much better."
Mao Lilan: “…”
She raised her hand and touched Suzuki Sonoko's head.
Is this the happiness of a flower maniac? It’s really simple and unpretentious.
…
Kogoro Mori took a look around and felt that the villa was sturdy and clean, there were no vicious people among the participants, and there were several women, so he felt that there was no problem with this party.
Thinking about his daughter's fighting ability and Jiang Xia next to him, he felt a little relieved and prepared to leave.
The children have their own activities, and he will also have his own adult time - Xiaolan is not here in the evening, so he can have fun at the New Year's party!
Kogoro Mori said goodbye in a good mood.
When he reached the door, he suddenly heard a sneeze from behind. He was startled and turned around to find that it was Conan who had hit him. The child was shaking his head and standing up again in a daze.
Kogoro Mouri immediately walked back and picked up Conan.
I almost forgot, this is a child with a bad cold.
…
Conan didn't come to his senses until he was dragged out of the door. He struggled to stay, but was eventually ruthlessly dragged away. After all, he was just a patient and needed to stay in bed.
The two quickly crossed the suspension bridge, returned to the car, and returned to the city along the winding mountain road.
Conan sat in the passenger seat, thinking of the three people who stayed in the villa, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
At the same time, I was worried. With Jiang Xia's physical condition, I felt that this party would not end normally, and it might be dangerous...
Conan sighed tiredly and turned on the radio in the car, trying to do something to divert his attention.
Just then, a piece of news suddenly came from the radio.
The announcer read in a clear voice: "...A body beaten to death was found in an apartment in Beido Town. The deceased was 41-year-old Nishiyama Mu. On the computer screen next to the body was a mysterious text [This is the first one - by: Shadow Master]..."
"…It is understood that the deceased was very keen on surfing the Internet. He was scheduled to attend an event called 'Magic Lovers Gathering' today. Currently, the police are contacting relevant members participating in the event."
As they listened, the smiles of the two people in the car gradually disappeared.
After a moment, the dazed Kogoro Mouri finally came to his senses. He turned the car around abruptly and drove back the same way at twice the speed he came.
…
After Kogoro Mouri took Conan away, Jiang Xia walked around Kid, who was not sure what he was on guard against, and went upstairs to put his luggage.
His room is on the third floor.
When taking off his coat, Jiang Xia looked at the mountains and forests outside through the window, and suddenly remembered Conan's feat in the original world line.
I have the impression that the murderer wanted to burn the suspension bridge leading to here in order to carry out his murder plan.
Conan turned back after hearing the news and found that the suspension bridge was burning. He was anxious and rushed directly onto the bridge. Then, before the bridge burned completely, he stepped on the fire and rushed to the villa.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that this was not possible.
...If this continues, Conan might make another death jump like in the original world line.
During this process, if this ghost-hunting device, which performed most stably, had a little less luck, it might have been burnt halfway, or fallen directly off the bridge, or first burnt and then fell off the bridge, falling into the icy river, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...
When that scene appeared in his mind, Jiang Xia immediately thought of his two ghosts - his parents and the fog dog. One of them was fireproof and the other could fly, and their professions were very suitable.
But soon, Jiang Xia gave up the plan of using two ghosts to perform the operation.
In terms of the application objects of the skills, unlike the mermaid's randomly assigned waterproof attribute, the parent ghost's fireproof can only work on the main body, and it is impossible to give Conan an anti-scorching buff through the air.
As for driving the Mist Tengu to rescue Conan who fell off the bridge...it would be better to break the bridge in advance.
Conan dares to commit suicide because in the original world line, he feels he can run away on the line of death.
Now, if the bridge broke, he couldn't possibly fly more than ten meters horizontally. That wouldn't be risking his life to save others, but jumping off a cliff to commit suicide.
