Chapter 452 Conan the Mastermind
When Toru Amuro was looking for the source of the noise.
Next to him, Shun Tateoka was extremely flustered after the director and agent revealed the grudge between him and the heroine, so there were suddenly many more suspicious glances towards him.
Tateoka Shun panicked and lost his mind: "I really didn't poison the cup! I just wanted her to get hurt a little bit, so... so I tampered with the curtain a little bit."
It was as if it had been planned. As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain above Jiang Xia's head snapped and the heavy wooden railings rolled up a large piece of broken decorations and fell down with a bang.
Toru Amuro: "...?"
The curtain hooked onto the pillar next to it, temporarily slowing down the falling speed of the railing.
Toru Amuro shouted "Get out of the way" and was about to run over to pull Jiang Xia, who had a high delay, to the side.
But at this moment, a slender figure passed by him and rushed towards Jiang Xia and the fallen railing at the speed of light - Mao Lilan jumped lightly on the stool beside her, kicked hard on the heavy railing.
The hard and solid wood was cracked by her kick, and a dent was formed in the middle, leaving just the space where Jiang Xia was.
As the huge horizontal bar fell to the ground with a loud bang, Mao Lilan used the force to flip in the air and landed next to Jiang Xia. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief as if she was frightened.
Amuro Toru stopped and watched the scene silently. Then he suddenly remembered something and looked back at the suspicious elementary school student.
The shoe on Conan's right foot was flashing with electric light. For some reason, when Amuro Toru looked at the light, he felt a sense of crisis.
Just as she was thinking, another person trotted over from the backstage - Suzuki Sonoko was also startled by the noise just now. At this moment, she came to her senses and ran towards Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan: "Are you okay?"
Toru Amuro: "..."
A high school girl with a terrifying explosive power, a strange and suspicious elementary school student, and the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Group...
Why do I feel that the people around Jiang Xia are more or less unique?
...This seems to be a certain characteristic of the event constitution?
The scale in Toru Amuro's heart, on the side of "Jiang Xia is not Usa, he just encountered so many cases because he was unlucky", silently gained a little more weight, temporarily turning around the situation that had been suppressed by the psychologist.
…
On the stage. Miyano Akemi glanced at the cracked railing on the ground, then turned back to look at the two girls who were about the same age as her sister, wanting to touch their heads.
After all, not only are they cute, one of them also saved her from having to use the "one-second invincibility" skill to create the "being hit by a heavy object but luckily not getting hurt" effect, thus saving her a lot of murderous intent.
However, in order to avoid ooc, Miyano Akemi did not raise her hand to touch her head in the end. She just let Jiang Xia's real body nod slightly to the two girls, indicating that everything was fine, and then continued to walk towards the crime scene and stopped two or three meters away from the corpse.
Toru Amuro was standing right next to him.
He glanced at Jiang Xia, who was so obsessed with solving the case, with mixed feelings, and whispered, "I already have a clue, you go back and sit down."
Miyano Akemi pretended not to hear and stood still - the master said that she had to stay at the crime scene, and even if she didn't solve the case, she had to at least look like she had tried her best.
Amuro Toru was silent for a moment when he saw Jiang Xia ignoring him. He didn't know what was going on inside. Usually, Jiang Xia was at least a very polite employee on the surface. But this time, he just ignored him... It seems that no matter how normal he usually behaves, he does have psychological problems.
While thinking, he dragged the stool over and pushed it towards Jiang Xia.
Miyano Akemi looked back at the chair, pondered for a moment, and felt that this place was "next to the crime scene", so she sat down with dignity.
…
The crew members looked at the falling curtain in shock, and then all looked at Tateoka Shun as if he were a "reserve murderer."
The bastard had just finished saying that he had tampered with the curtain, and the next second the curtain fell down. If such a heavy object hit someone, it would be impossible for the person to be injured just a little bit as he said.
And this is almost an indiscriminate attack - not only the heroine, but other people will pass by that position...
If there had not been a number of policemen nearby at that time, Shun Tateoka would have probably been pinned to the ground and beaten by his colleagues.
Tateoka Shun stared at a bunch of unfriendly eyes, and felt a chill on his back. He continued what he had just said, and defended himself: "Yes, just like before... But you also saw that it didn't work, right?"
Amuro Toru glanced at him.
...Even if there were no casualties, considering what he just said and did, it would be no problem to lock him up for a few years.
But it was really thrilling just now. If Jiang Xia was really Wu Zuo, he wouldn't have deliberately passed by the place where the curtain was about to fall.
The reason why Jiang Xia went that way just now was because...
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro looked at Conan thoughtfully.
...Speaking of which, when Conan was in his car, his car always seemed to have some problems. Like a flat tire or something. Then he would encounter various incidents, a large part of which were murders.
Thinking of these past events, Toru Amuro was silent for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth secretly between Jiang Xia and Conan, unable to find the exact focus for a while.
…
In the suburbs of Tokyo, in a gloomy castle.
Jiang Xia took the ghosts and shikigami on a tour of the castle, draining all the magical things they encountered along the way.
After that, he waited for a while out of boredom, but the witch and the foreign...helpers she invited still did not come back.
Thinking that he still had things to do at the main office, and he had already memorized the address here, he could visit at any time.
Jiang Xia didn't stay any longer and turned back to the room where Kidd was.
…
Although Kidd was extremely tired, he was still in the witch's lair and felt uneasy even if he was dizzy. Now that he had recovered a little strength, he struggled to wake up.
When Jiang Xia pushed open the door, he saw Kidd slumped on the sofa, one hand on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling thinking about life. He looked like he wanted to sit up but failed.
When the door opened, Kidd instinctively stood up nervously, but failed again.
He lay down and glanced at the Mist Tengu who came in, patted the sofa under him, and used small talk to cover up his embarrassment: "The witch's sofa is so soft."
Jiang Xia was not very interested in the softness or hardness of the sofa.
He walked over, picked him up, and opened the window: "It's time to go."
It's hard to get a taxi in the wilderness, and looking at Kidd's condition, it's not realistic to ask him to walk back.
Jiang Xia simply carried the person and flew all the way to the city.
Kidd was shivering in the cold night wind when he suddenly heard the calm voice of Mist Tengu above his head.
The monster seemed to be trying to persuade him, "You are too weak. You can't go on like this. Go learn magic."
"…Magic? Can you learn it just by wanting to?"
When this was mentioned, Kidd couldn't help but think of the strange energy that had sprouted in his body just now: "You want to teach me? But I've never seen you use magic..."
Um?
Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
