Chapter 304 Don’t Eat People
Conan instantly forgot what he was about to say and began his habitual observation and thinking.
Luminous contact lenses?
Magic props?
Wait, there seems to be a black thing behind...
Just now, Jiang Xia caught him with a similar action to catching a ball. Therefore, from this angle, Conan could only vaguely see the tip of a wing that was deliberately folded over the shoulder of the Mist Tengu puppet.
Conan didn't recognize what it was, but he was curious. He was about to stand up and take a closer look, but the person holding him realized his intention, was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand.
A knife-handed strike hit Conan's neck in a second.
The curious detective jumped up.
…
The forest was very dark at night, and Kogoro Mouri could only see Conan flying over by the light of the fire on the suspension bridge.
He ran back to the cliff in shock and shouted twice, but received no response.
After hesitating for a moment, Kogoro Maori looked at his mobile phone, then looked at the "slingshot" next to him, gritted his teeth, and tentatively leaned himself into the middle of the retractable strap.
Across the bridge, Jiang Xia, who witnessed everything through night vision, said: "..."
...What do you want to do? !
He subconsciously estimated the direction in which Kogoro Mouri was falling, then casually hung Conan on a branch nearby, freeing his hands, intending to knock Kogoro out when he just flew here and had not yet adapted to the darkness.
However, Maori Kogoro obviously respects Newton more than Conan. When he tested the elasticity, he also grabbed the straps behind his waist, as if he wanted to experience the strength first before actually ejecting himself.
The feedback from the straps was obviously disappointing to him - the force was only enough to send him one or two meters away, not as far as he could jump by himself.
Maori Kogoro looked a little confused, as if he didn't understand why there was such a big difference when two people used the same thing. In the end, he had to attribute it to Conan's lighter weight.
In the end, he could only anxiously curse the brat, and then returned to the car even more anxiously, ready to call the police.
Jiang Xia watched Kogoro Mori's car drive away with his own eyes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no need to find a place to hide Kogoro Mori.
In addition, we now have an alarm tool, so we don’t have to fly to a place with a signal to call the police.
He was in a good mood and raised his hand to pick Conan down from the tree.
However, as soon as he turned around, he was suddenly met with a pair of frightened eyes that were forced to remain calm.
——Kid had arrived at some point and was now standing three or four meters behind him.
…
Kidd looked at Jiang Xia, then looked stiffly at the child who was hanging on the tree branch, who looked highly likely to be the Mist Tengu's stored food. He opened his mouth, put his hand down and raised it again, raised it up and put it down again, as if he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two sides looked at each other, and Kidd was stared at for two seconds by Mist Tengu's eyes that looked particularly cold in the snow. Suddenly, he came to his senses and remembered the things he had brought with him just in case.
So, a moment later.
Jiang Xia saw Kidd take out an exquisite porcelain bottle the size of half a palm from his pocket.
The thief tentatively handed the porcelain bottle to him, while his other hand secretly reached out to Conan who was on the tree branch.
Jiang Xia was actually a little confused, but seeing Kidd handing over the small bottle so naturally, he also naturally reached out to take it.
With this action, Kidd seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for some reason, and his hand reaching out to Conan became faster, and he picked up the unfortunate child hanging on the tree.
Then he showed a little relief that "the plan worked".
——As a Phantom Thief who faces challenges all the time, Kidd has always paid great attention to advance preparation.
When he came today, he also made a plan in advance.
The small bottle that he just handed to Kiri Tengu was actually a fairly valuable artifact that he found at home.
After all, based on Kidd's experience of being robbed in recent times, Mist Tengu not only eats gems, it has also eaten oil paintings. In short, there is no specific type, it seems to eat whatever is expensive.
So Kidd brought this thing with him on purpose.
He felt that the value of this porcelain bottle was not as high as other treasures, and it should not attract the Mist Tengu from a distance, but at the same time, it could effectively delay time and feed the Mist Tengu in the current situation. From the fact that the Mist Tengu was diligently staring at him to rob instead of hunting those humans who could be easily caught on the street, Kidd felt that the Mist Tengu would not eat humans unless he was extremely hungry. To him, humans seemed to taste really bad.
Thinking of this, Kidd couldn't help but take a look at Conan who was holding a porcelain bottle worth 1, thinking that Mist Tengu was actually a very self-controlled monster. He even picked the smallest food... No, this was not the point. The point was that if the porcelain bottle was not enough to eat, he had to get real treasures for Mist Tengu as soon as possible to protect the food reserves in the villa.
While Kidd was busy thinking about the monster recipe, Jiang Xia looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, then looked at it again, and not feeling confident, he asked his ghosts to take a look as well... and finally confirmed that there was no energy core in it.
At this moment, he belatedly recalled Kid's exchange-like action just now, and looked at Conan in Kid's hand. He vaguely understood something and his eyes twitched slightly.
Jiang Xia thought that it was a rare moment of thoughtfulness for him. He thought that Conan had a severe cold and throwing him in the snow might cause the disease to evolve. That's why he hung Conan on the tree.
I didn’t expect Kidd to be able to associate it with Mist Tengu’s habit of hanging and eating people... This thief must be wearing glasses that can eat people.
But soon, Jiang Xia felt that this was a good idea - Kidd not only automatically figured out the reason why Mist Tengu appeared, but now he even gave him a reason to leave.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to pretend to knock the porcelain vase and then throw it back to Kidd.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is no energy core in this bottle, so it is impossible for it to present the dull appearance of "leftover debris".
After hesitating for a moment, he simply put the porcelain bottle in his arms as if he was carrying a snack with him, nodded to Kidd, and pretended that the transaction was successful.
At this time, a cold wind blew and snow foam flew everywhere.
Kidd closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, the monster was no longer in sight.
He first looked around subconsciously, but saw that the ground was empty and there was no porcelain bottle left after eating.
...were taken away by Mist Tengu?
Is it short of food recently?
A question mark popped up in Kidd's mind.
At the same time, he thought that he could not procrastinate any longer and had to steal the target he had identified not long ago as soon as possible... Now, his stealing was not only to find Pandora, but also to save innocent hostages like Conan from the mouth of Mist Tengu... well, hostages in the literal sense.
