Chapter 581 Kidd: There is something wrong with Amuro Toru. Please give me a monthly ticket.
Kidd: “……?”
Wait, this familiar action...
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly felt that the indescribable mysterious power in his body was sucked away by something, gradually gathering at the place where Mist Tengu touched. Finally, they followed Mist Tengu's fingertips and completely left his body.
...I had been saving up my magic power for a long time. Then, it was gone.
The process of extracting magic power is not much slower than extracting blood.
When Mist Tengu withdrew his hand, Kidd felt dizzy under his feet, and there was a sense of disparity, as if he had suddenly switched from full state to the state after running four or five laps.
He relaxed for a moment and quickly adapted to this weakened state.
After all, this isn't the first time my magic power has been stolen...
Moreover, compared to the previous time when he was robbed for nothing, this time, he actually got an extra famous detective who was extremely difficult to catch. Hiss, he actually felt like he had earned something...
…
Facts have proved that Mist Tengu is indeed a civilized and polite monster with martial ethics.
After taking away the magic power, he looked a little reluctant, but still handed over the famous detective who was in an "anesthetized" state with reluctance.
Kidd raised his hand to take it and quickly checked it.
After discovering that Jiang Xia's breathing was steady and there was no messy allergic reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The anesthetic produced by Mist Tengu seems to be quite safe and harmless...
After confirming that the replacement target's life was not in danger, Kidd thought back to the thing he had just said halfway.
He looked at Kiri Tengu and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Did those witches cause you any trouble later? If they brought any advanced weapons or equipment, you can contact me for help. I think you still have the phone that Grandpa Terai gave you. If it runs out of battery, you can come to me to charge it."
——A while ago, Terai Huang Zhisuke went to Kidd's place to visit his young master. The old man just sat down and drank a cup of tea leisurely, and saw a fog tengu that came to extract magic power every day landed on the balcony.
Terai Noboru spat out a mouthful of tea on the coffee table. After the panic, he bought a mobile phone overnight and told Kiri Tengu that if he had any problems, he could call him instead of visiting him in person.
Terai Huangzhisuke had not had much contact with Mist Tengu. But he still remembered that "humans" were on the menu of this monster. Therefore, he always felt that Mist Tengu's visit to the residential area was like a child with a sweet tooth entering a free candy house. He was worried that Mist Tengu would grab a delicate girl from nearby and hang her on a tree as food when he left, just like those humans who like to take souvenirs.
Jiang Xia was well aware of Grandpa Terai's intention in giving him the phone, and had no intention of scaring this innocent old man who had no murderous intent.
But after all, magic power cannot be drawn through the phone. So he still calculated the time when magic power grew and went to harvest it. At most, he would take a sneak peek before landing to let the ghosts see if Terai Huang Zhisuke was at Kidd's house. If he was, he would come later...
I haven't been there recently because Jiang Xia was suddenly targeted by Amuro Toru, and I stayed away from Tokyo after leaving. That's why I went there a few days late.
...I didn't expect Kidd to still remember it.
How should I put it? This thief has a strong sense of time and self-management...
Jiang Xia looked at Kidd with some emotion, and answered his question half-truthfully: "The witches haven't come yet, I don't know where they went. I've been busy looking for them recently."
Kidd: “…I see.”
Suddenly I feel a little sympathetic towards the witch. Even with modern high technology, she can't deal with the Mist Tengu...
…
After simply solving the question of "Mist Tengu hasn't visited recently", Kidd looked at his watch and didn't waste any more time.
He took off Jiang Xia's coat and counted the replacement target's belongings.
After a moment, he suddenly frowned: "He doesn't have a cell phone with him."
A young man of this age, especially a part-time detective who needs to keep in touch with clients at all times, actually goes out without a cell phone?
…It’s not normal no matter how you think about it.
And Kidd recalled carefully and found that just now, when he disguised himself as Amuro Toru and asked Jiang Xia to help him equip the tire, Jiang Xia directly opened the door and got out of the car, without "throwing the phone in the car to free up his hands". And there was no phone charging in the car.
In other words, Jiang Xia did not forget to bring it in a hurry, but he did not have it in the first place.
Wait, so...
Kidd suddenly remembered all the doubts that had arisen before.
Just now he was busy dodging Jiang Xia's baton, and after dodging, he was busy chasing Jiang Xia who was running into the deep forest, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Now, looking back, it is found that Jiang Xia's movements were so sharp when he dodged the electric shock from behind that it was not normal. Moreover, from dodging to counterattack, his expression was calm throughout the whole process, without any emotion such as "surprise".
...It's as if being ambushed by Amuro Toru was something that was very likely to happen.
"..." Even if this was because Jiang Xia discovered through some flaws in advance that the person who came was not "Toru Amuro" but Kaito Kid.
But later, after Jiang Xia ran into the woods, he did not go around to the gas station to seek help from Toru Amuro or the staff, but ran all the way into the deep woods... This behavior did not seem like he had any companions in the gas station, but rather like there were some dangerous criminals there.
“……” The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Kidd looked at Jiang Xia's real body with a serious look in his eyes: This detective wouldn't have encountered any kidnapping incident.
Speaking of which, there is not much information about the boss who went out with Jiang Xia. He looks mysterious and is very sensitive to the sight when being tracked. It is difficult to investigate...
Kidd sighed as he thought about it.
Originally, he planned to tie up and hide the replaced target as usual, throw it to a place where people regularly go, and wait for local staff to find and rescue it.
But now…
It’s better to let Grandpa Terai help watch over him for a while. After he leaves the Dusk Villa, we can send Jiang Xia to the police station.
Otherwise, if he just threw it away like before, it would be bad if Jiang Xia was captured and killed by the evil party's accomplices.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, even if Jiang Xia wakes up, he will probably give priority to dealing with the strange boss Amuro Toru. After all, in Jiang Xia's impression, the one who attacked and chased him with the electric shock device should not be Kidd, but "Amuro Toru".
In addition, although Jiang Xia encountered Mist Tengu head-on.
But Kidd thought carefully about the scene just now——
It was already late in the day, and the forest was densely covered with branches and leaves, so the light was extremely dim.
It only took a moment for Mist Tengu to stretch out its wings from behind the tree and grab people. Even Kidd, who knew Mist Tengu and was standing at a distance from him, took a moment to react before he understood what was happening.
From Jiang Xia's perspective, he probably only felt that he ran into something furry, and then his vision went dark, his neck was stabbed, and he lost consciousness...
Besides, he is a detective who values physical evidence. Even if he saw it, Jiang Xia would probably only consider whether there was a trap set here, rather than "a monster plotting against me".
