Chapter 752 Breaking into the house
Jiang Xia: "..." The new cat vest is good in every way, except that it has too many legs and a tail, so it's not easy to get used to the way it walks...
He quickly got up, shook off his messy hair, and looked at the ghosts who were watching.
After a moment, he slowly turned his head and glanced at the ghost mint placed beside the pillow.
“…”
The mermaid who was rolling on the ground and laughing noticed where his gaze was going and froze slightly.
Soon, she got up as if nothing had happened, swam to the side and fiddled with the murderous scroll, pretending that she had not done anything just now.
The other ghosts also immediately changed to serious expressions. Some of the poor actors were caught by other clever ghosts and quickly fled the scene.
“…”
After driving away the surrounding ghosts, the surroundings finally became quiet.
Jiang Xia recalled how cats usually walk, tried it a few times, and gradually got used to it.
Before long, he successfully reached where the mirror was, jumped up, hooked onto the edge of the sink, and climbed up with fairly brisk movements.
…It’s not difficult to open a cat.
Jiang Xia nodded secretly, feeling satisfied with his learning ability.
He looked up and saw a black cat reflected in the mirror. Its four white paws were set against the wall of the same color. It was not very conspicuous and seemed to be floating in the air.
Jiang Xia looked at himself in the mirror, raised his paw and pressed his ears. The pointed ears were bent down, then quickly bounced back up.
"..." It feels pretty good. Although it is essentially a clay puppet, it has the bonus of a cat ghost. At this moment, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is a completely normal handsome cat.
Among all the vests currently, this cat is probably the most low-key one. Driving it on the street is definitely more low-key than driving Matsuda Jinpei - after all, although the patterns of both are invisible, Matsuda Jinpei's puppet is a person after all, and a black-clad man who doesn't look easy to get along with, which is easy to attract attention from all sides.
…
Jiang Xia paced in front of the mirror, turned around a few times, and became more and more satisfied the more he looked.
He turned around, jumped onto the windowsill quietly, and jumped from the second floor. Then he passed through the gap in the railing and ran straight to Dr. Agasa's house.
It's a rare opportunity to pick up a new vest, and it won't reveal any secrets... Drive it out to show others and recognize their face.
It is already late at night, and Dr. Agasa, a middle-aged man, must have gone to bed.
But as usual, Haibara Ai should still rely on her youth and thick hair to conduct experiments in the basement all night.
…
In Dr. Agasa's house, the window on the second floor was not closed.
Jiang Xia was possessed by a cat vest and took some effort to climb onto the windowsill, where he took a short rest.
Then it pushed open the half-closed window, jumped into the house, and went straight to the basement, which was one of the places where Haibara Ai often stayed up late.
But when I reached the stairs and looked down, I saw no light coming through the crack of the basement door, as if no one was there.
"..." Walking to the door and eavesdropping for a while, Jiang Xia was sure - there was no sound of typing on the keyboard, nor any sound of brewing coffee or yawning, there was really no one in the room.
After thinking for a moment, he turned and went upstairs, jogging into the bedroom.
He jumped up and grabbed the edge of the bed, then looked over and saw Huibara Ai wrapped in a quilt, sleeping soundly in the darkness.
Jiang Xia: “…”
The night owl didn't stay up late, but today...
But then I thought about it, during the day, Huiyuan Ai followed them outside for a whole day. And last night, she almost stayed up all night because of a curly-haired man in black who passed by her door... It seems understandable that her daily routine suddenly became normal today.
"..." Apart from Haibara Ai, there were no other suitable and interesting people nearby - the Mori family was not far away, but at this time, they must have gone to bed. The only ones who were still awake were probably Vermouth, Gin, and Bourbon... So, the organization was full of night owls, but these people were erratic and busy for various reasons, so it was not easy to catch them.
Various figures flashed through Jiang Xia's mind, and then he crossed them out one by one.
Finally, he raised his head and sighed at the lonely night outside the window. Walking in the night in gorgeous clothes is nothing more than this...
You'd better come back tomorrow morning.
He leaned on the edge of the bed and watched for a while without giving up. After making sure that Haibara Ai was really asleep and not planning to take a nap and then stay up late, he left regretfully in the only new vest that could see the light of day.
…
The next morning.
Jiang Xia, who also slept late, opened his eyes a little sleepily.
However, although the main body is sleepy, the puppet is not, so yesterday's plan to take the cat for a walk can still be carried out.
He quickly summoned some shikigami, let them accumulate and condense, then half-closed his eyes and felt around his pillow, accurately caught the smallest ghost, and threw it into the clay.
Soon a black cat appeared beside the bed.
Before leaving, Jiang Xia thought for a moment and did not immediately possess the cat. Instead, he first pushed down the cat's vest and drew a "Z" pattern on the pad of its front paw with a pen that was difficult to fade.
Haibara Ai is usually quiet and looks very well-behaved. But when she gets into trouble, she likes to make it big. And she is also the "peripheral member of the Anonymous Organization" that Anonymous casually admitted... In addition to the Anonymous identity of the fake Usa, which can be kept secret for a while, other vests that conform to scientific laws can be recognized by her to avoid trouble caused by lack of information in critical moments.
The structure of a cat's mouth is not suitable for speaking human language.
If you want to identify a cat, the most convenient way is to use this unique "Z" mark.
After finishing the painting carefully, Jiang Xia looked at it with appreciation.
After the writing was completely dry, he threw his body on the bed and possessed the cat puppet, adapting himself to the cat's identity.
Then he climbed out the window skillfully and trotted to the next door.
…
Dr. Ali's home.
The elderly Dr. Agasa got up first.
He stretched and walked out of the room. When he passed the living room, he suddenly felt something move in his peripheral vision.
"……?"
Dr. Agasa was startled and turned his head to look, and found a black cat lying on the sofa.
Seeing him looking at him, the black cat raised the tip of its tail slightly, as if to say hello, or to attract the attention of passers-by.
After looking at each other for two seconds, Dr. Agasa couldn't help but walk over.
Then he skillfully picked up the cat and walked to the entrance - there were many cat cages there, some of which were empty.
He put the newly found cat into one of the empty cages and muttered, "How did it get out..."
Halfway through his words, he noticed that the black cat was looking up at him with a complicated expression.
"...Hmm?" Dr. Agasa touched his half-bald head and suspected that he had seen it wrong: How could a cat have such rich emotions?
...It must be just a coincidence. For example, this cat was born with the look of wanting to say something but stopping.
