Chapter 570: Steps to sneak attack on detectives
If I were to rashly replace Jiang Xia and go to the Dusk Villa without knowing where Jiang Xia was...
Kidd thought about the frequency of solving cases when Jiang Xia was away from home according to his investigation. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
——This time, the guests invited to the dinner party at the "Twilight Villa" were all famous detectives from all over the place.
If one of them were browsing the news on the way to Twilight Villa, and suddenly saw a report that "Jiang Xia uncovered the murderer's plot at a certain place", then the detective would analyze the case and go to Twilight Villa to find that "Jiang Xia", who was supposed to be taking a statement, was leisurely attending a dinner party...
The news that "Kid can disguise himself" is well known in the detective world.
If that were the case, Kidd felt that he would be forced to take off his vest as soon as he arrived at the scene.
...That's why Kidd gave up Jiang Xia and reluctantly changed to another disguised target.
However, he didn't expect that when he was waiting for his target today, he would run into Jiang Xia by chance.
"..." Kidd's heart was moved again.
If you think about it carefully, dressing up as Jiang Xia is actually more appropriate than dressing up as Gunda Ikumi.
...It's not because he has wanted to play Jiang Xia for a long time but never had the chance.
This way, you don't have to pretend to be short. One of the most difficult parts of disguise is the height of the person you are disguising yourself as. It's not a big deal at ordinary times, but today, when you are with a group of detectives, you might be discovered. The other detectives also have their own inconveniences: some are too short, some carry pets that recognize their owners, some have just returned home and are hard to catch, and some need to have skills...
And now, it is a rare opportunity to meet Jiang Xia outside. This may be fate.
...In short, it’s him!
The Phantom Thief, who values fun, quickly changed his target.
…
After deciding to disguise himself as Jiang Xia, Kidd recalled his investigation on this detective.
——Although he had never heard that Jiang Xia had practiced any martial arts, he seemed to have never seen any news like "Jiang Xia was injured while chasing criminals".
In other words, the detective's fighting ability seems to be an unknown.
...To be on the safe side, it is better not to attack head-on. It is safer to approach him cautiously and then attack him from a distance.
Thinking of this, Kidd took a last look at Amuro Toru and walked towards the warehouse secretly.
While he was struggling to disguise his target just now, he did not forget to eavesdrop on the conversation between Amuro Toru and the clerk, and learned that Amuro Toru's car had a flat tire.
Therefore, before going out, Kidd did some tricks on the warehouse door, making it difficult to open, delaying the time for Amuro Toru to leave the gas station.
Afterwards, he used lightweight black-tech materials to mold a fake spare tire that looked similar to the original. Then he secretly left with the spare tire.
When he set foot on the mountain road, Kid's face had completely changed into Toru Amuro's. He couldn't find the same clothes, so he first "borrowed" a similar color from the staff room and quickly modified it manually.
…
Jiang Xia was sitting in the car, waiting bored, but suddenly he felt the ghosts around him raise their heads one by one, as if they had noticed something that could be snatched, and began to look out the window.
Jiang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely felt the breath of magic.
He looked through the car window in the direction he sensed, and saw "Amuro Toru" coming back with a spare tire.
He looked around with a little doubt. There was no one else. There was only Amuro Toru on the road ahead. However, there was a faint smell of magic from that direction. Magic can be used as an energy core to make the ghosts stronger and thus strengthen the puppets...
Jiang Xia's gaze finally settled on "Amuro Toru".
"..." Although the boss seemed to have magic power when driving and beating people, theoretically, he should be just an ordinary human without magic power. Otherwise, after so long, I must have grabbed the energy core a long time ago.
Moreover, there is no reason why Toru Amuro would suddenly awaken his magic power across the crowd just by buying a spare tire.
Jiang Xia looked at the approaching "Amuro Toru" and had a vague guess.
When he got closer and could smell the specific scent of magic, he became more certain: the "Amuro Toru" in front of him should be Kidd in disguise.
...I haven't seen him for a few days, and it seems that Kidd's hidden magic has grown a lot.
Speaking of magic… I don’t know where Koizumi Hongzi and her helpers went. Compared with the witches who have accumulated magic over the years, Kidd’s magic is still a little thin. It’s always over at the beginning, which is not satisfying… But later, Jiang Xia secretly went to the witch castle several times, but he couldn’t see them anymore. The castle has even begun to be abandoned and overgrown with grass.
Jiang Xia briefly missed the two witches and hoped that they would return with magic power or new helpers as soon as possible.
When I came to my senses, "Toru Amuro" had already walked to the side with the tire.
Then he knocked on Jiang Xia's car window naturally: "Come and lend a hand."
...The voice is also the same as Amuro Toru.
Jiang Xia responded, pushed the door and got out of the car, guessing Kidd's purpose - probably he wanted to disguise himself as him or Amuro Toru, find a way to go to the Dusk Annex, blend in with the detectives, and attend the dinner.
I just don't know if this thief is going to pretend to be Toru Amuro, or him...
Next to him, "Toru Amuro" had already put the tire aside and asked Jiang Xia to find a jack.
Jiang Xia walked to the trunk and was about to get the tools when he suddenly felt the ghosts poking him.
He dodged with preparation, and heard a slight "sizzling" sound of electricity passing through the place where he was just now and hitting the lid of the box.
Jiang Xia: “…” No need to guess, it seems Kidd is planning to pretend to be him.
Come to think of it, this Phantom Thief is quite cautious. He actually approached Amuro Toru first instead of just rushing over...
Jiang Xia dodged the sneak attack and looked up, only to see that after Kidd missed his first strike, he decisively gave up the stun gun. Then he reached into his arms with his white-gloved hand and took out a tranquilizer gun.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Facing an innocent and unarmed detective, he actually chose to use a gun. This is really unethical...
When he gets back, he will also ask the doctor to make a tranquilizer gun... However, once a person is anesthetized and has no thoughts, it is impossible to knock out the murderous intent. Speaking of practicality, the baton is indeed more practical.
While thinking, Jiang Xia reached out and pulled out his baton. Before Kidd pulled the trigger, he flicked the baton away and swept across.
The thin black stick whirred and hit Kidd's wrist.
Kidd raised his hand slightly and dodged flexibly. At the same time, he took a step back and barely avoided Jiang Xia's hand that was grabbing his collar. At the same time, he did not forget to press his coat - to prevent the embarrassing situation of his coat corner being grabbed if he dodged.
