Chapter 574 Robbery Detective
Kidd went over the scene in his mind and felt that there was no big problem on Jiang Xia's side.
He then sent the location to Grandpa Terai and asked the assistant to come and pick up Jiang Xia later.
At the same time, he tactfully told Terai that besides Jiangxia, there was another old friend here, and he hoped that he would not be frightened by then...
…
After Kidd sent the message, he was about to ask Kiri Tengu to help keep an eye on the person to prevent Jiang Xia from being captured by Toru Amuro's accomplices before Terai Huangnosuke arrived.
However, when he looked up from the phone screen, he saw that when he sent the message, Kiri Tengu also squatted down like he had just done, stretched out his hand, and rummaged through the items the detective was carrying.
Soon, Kiri Tengu picked up a box of cigarettes, looked at it with great interest, seemed to be very satisfied with the taste, and put the cigarettes in his arms with confidence.
"..." Kidd suddenly remembered the fresh air in the mountains and forests, as well as the propaganda about the harm of smoking and drinking that he often saw, and blurted out, "This thing is not good for the lungs."
...Mist Tengu should have lungs. Except for an extra pair of wings and a special diet, he seems to be the same as a human.
It's surprising that a famous detective like Jiang Xia, who looks very positive, would carry cigarettes with him... Kidd briefly fell into deep thought: Is this detective under a lot of pressure? Is this related to the mysterious and strange boss Amuro who is highly suspected to be a bad guy?
Next to him, Jiang Xia ignored Kidd's advice.
Mist Tengu is a puppet, how can he have lungs? And this is not smoke...
——When the main body is not around, the puppets and the ghosts inside the puppets need to replenish their energy directly through ghost mint.
In the past, when Jiang Xia was driving the Mist Tengu puppet and waiting for Kidd, he would occasionally light a ghost mint to charge the puppet.
But at that time, one had to be careful to get rid of the smell in case Kidd discovered that Kiri Tengu was smoking the same "cigarette" as Jiang Xia.
But after today, this problem will no longer be a problem.
——If Mist Tengu can ambush the thief and steal his gems, then he can naturally ambush the detective and steal the detective's cigarettes.
…
After Kidd finished his persuasion, he found that Kiri Tengu had no intention of throwing away the cigarette, but turned a deaf ear to him and looked into the distance. He could only sigh helplessly.
...What else can we do? We can’t rob them, and we can’t beat them even if we fight them.
Even now, there are things that require Mist Tengu's help.
Kidd leaned Jiang Xia's body against the tree and looked at Mist Tengu: "I sent a message to Grandpa Terai, he will come to pick up the detective later. If you are tired of flying, you can take his car back then. The place I am going to today is not a pre-selected treasure-stealing destination, but a passive banquet. I may not be able to get the right treasure."
...Speaking of this, Kidd suddenly felt a little confused.
This is Tottori Prefecture, which is far away from Tokyo. Mist Tengu actually appeared here... I don't know if it accidentally saw someone else's invitation letter, or found that the thief had left the house, so it followed all the way here like before.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is because on weekdays, Mist Tengu is not only active in Tokyo, but also in other places.
After all, there were always intervals between when he saw Mist Tengu. Maybe Mist Tengu would wander around in the mountains and forests of various places except for occasionally returning to Tokyo to rob him...
Anyway, Mist Tengu can really fly such a long distance. The wings it has are more useful than hang gliders. Not only can it travel long distances quickly, but it can also be used to capture detectives at critical moments...
Kidd felt a little envious, and once again thought of the plan of "replacing the hang glider with artificial wings" that was rejected by Grandpa Terai.
However, looking at the watch, time is running out. Now is not the time to covet other people's wings.
After he finished speaking, Mist Tengu nodded. Kidd felt a little relieved and didn't stay any longer.
He hurried in the direction he came from, and quickly changed his appearance into Jiang Xia's as he ran.
…
Behind Kidd.
Jiang Xia drove the Mist Tengu's puppet, stood quietly in place, and watched Kidd go away.
After his own figure completely disappeared from his sight, he walked to a nearby tree, picked up his main body, and flew away quickly. He had no intention of handing his main body over to Terai Huangzhisuke.
Keeping the main body closer to the puppet can effectively reduce the consumption of murderous aura.
On the other hand, if the old man was frightened by Mist Tengu and fled back to Tokyo overnight with Jiang Xia's real body, the puppet would probably dissipate as soon as it showed its face because of the excessive consumption of murderous aura...
Anyway, he didn't say he wouldn't take the real body away.
Jiang Xia flapped his wings with a slight sense of guilt, and took advantage of the night to fly low-key along the woods, heading for his destination.
…
Kidd knew nothing about the Mist Tengu stealing people behind his back.
He focused on following the same route and returned to where the vehicle was.
While in the woods, Kid had thrown away the clothes he used to dress up as Toru Amuro.
Although the spare tire he brought just now was lost at the scene of the sneak attack on Jiangxia, it was made of black technology materials. It should have been deflated and turned into a thin film and blown away by the mountain wind. In short, if he goes back now, he should not be exposed.
At the same time, Kidd recalled Jiang Xia's reaction when facing "Amuro Toru" just now.
Then I found out that although Jiang Xia was secretly on guard against this boss, before "Amuro Toru" attacked him, Jiang Xia had been sitting quietly in the car, waiting for him to come back. And when "Amuro Toru" asked Jiang Xia to help change the spare tire, Jiang Xia did get out of the car to get the tools...
In general, it is still the attitude of employees towards their superiors.
Maybe Jiang Xia has already discovered the problem with Amuro Toru, but has not exposed it yet.
“……” In this case, let’s just get along normally for now.
…
Kidd made one last adjustment to his disguise and clothing before running out of the woods.
He then climbed back to the highway along the embankment on one side of the road.
Then I saw Toru Amuro standing next to the car, and the two spare tires next to Toru Amuro.
Toru Amuro was tapping on his cell phone, messaging someone unknown, his face looking a little serious.
Noticing some movement on the roadside, he looked up and saw "Jiang Xia". He was startled for a moment and put away his phone: "Where did you go just now?"
Jiang Xia took a few breaths and looked like he had been running for quite a while. "I felt like the punctured tire was punctured by a spike. Then I saw someone poking his head out of the woods, so I chased after him to take a look...but the deeper we went, the darker it got, and I couldn't catch up, so I had to come back."
Amuro Toru recalled the sharp claw marks on his spare tire last night, as well as the terrible bite marks in the past, and frowned: "If you see it again in the future, don't chase it alone, take a picture..."
He originally thought that just taking a photo would be enough, which would mean that he would have important clues and would be safe.
But halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Xia's cell phone was with him, and stopped talking a little awkwardly.
I thought to myself that I would get Jiang Xia a camera when we get to the city. Given Jiang Xia's event-oriented personality, he might be able to uncover the mysterious force that was scratching the tires...
