Chapter 847 Air Accident Please vote for me ヽ(〃〃)~
In this way, their whereabouts became much more concealed.
However, the difficulty of riding a leopard also soared.
Although Jiang Xia had been prepared in advance, the phone still almost flew out. He took a few seconds to stop and adjust, and when he felt stable, he took out the phone again.
Having just typed the entry, he pressed refresh.
A moment later, Jiang Xia suddenly found a live broadcast whose popularity was soaring.
He was puzzled for a moment, then clicked in to check the situation.
The live broadcast seemed to have not started yet, and the screen was showing a cover featuring Kidd: [The famous detective who returned from London vs. Kaito Kidd! The showdown will take place tonight!]
Jiang Xia: “……?”
Strange, although he was busy these days, he still took time to read the newspaper, especially the headlines. But he didn't notice any news about Kidd.
...Could it be that the publicity efforts for cases that Conan is not involved in have been reduced a little?
"..." Kudo-san's physique is truly miraculous...
Just as he was thinking about it, the ghosts hanging on his body suddenly pulled Jiang Xia and muttered something.
Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze from the phone screen. Before he could hear their strange words, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
This place is twenty or thirty meters above the ground, and the black panther leaps between the buildings like lightning.
Almost at the same time, a human figure in black broke out of the window between two buildings on its jumping route. The person seemed to be trying to avoid the lights that might be on the rooftops and swung from one building to the other.
Both sides were dressed in black, even the leopards were black. The speed was too fast, and by the time the black-clad man on the other side noticed something was wrong, the two sides had already collided with a bang.
The silk thread that allowed the man in black to climb walls and fly broke with a snap, and the two men and the leopard fell down at the same time.
The one who directly collided with the man in black was not Jiang Xia, but Leopard.
Jiang Xia was falling in mid-air against a strong wind. He grabbed the black panther that was flapping its wings wildly, and was about to use his knife to bypass the panther and knock out the person who had collided with him completely to protect his three views. At the same time, he could use a useful skill or summon a clay puppet to provide a cushion.
But at this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly sensed a breath of energy core from the object he had hit.
Or more precisely - the breath of magic.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Think about the live broadcast I just saw and where I am from here...
“……” He seemed to know who Xiao Hei was who was staying up late at night.
…
A series of thoughts flashed through his mind. Although he recognized Kidd, Jiang Xia still planned to give the opponent a knife to prevent him from seeing the self-rescue method that he should not see.
But almost at the same time, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that the air around him became vaguely sticky, and it became thicker as he went down, like an invisible cushion.
At the same time as this strange phenomenon occurred, the magic power in the body of "Xiao Hei" on the opposite side suddenly decreased.
Under Jiang Xia's heartbroken gaze, the two unlucky guys who had been in the mid-air car accident fell at a relatively safe speed and crashed into a small shed on the side of the building.
…
This place was right between two buildings. The light from outside could not shine in, and the light in the shed was broken by them. It was pitch black all around, and the human eye could not see anything clearly.
Jiang Xia randomly caught a ghost and borrowed the ghost's night vision ability.
The chaotic car crash was over. He sat up from the mess of rubble and looked at the man in black next to him.
The man hissed and touched his leg which had hit the steel bar. The man in black looked very young, with a big bag beside him. He looked very familiar to Jiang Xia.
——It’s Kudo Shinichi’s face.
But now, Haibara Ai has not told Conan that she has developed a temporary antidote. Conan has not yet developed the bad habit of drinking tons of white wine when he has a cold... In short, he can't grow bigger. The one who appeared here is obviously not Kudo Shinichi.
This should be Kidd - he looks exactly like Kudo Shinichi.
Although Kidd's signature outfit is a white suit with a white cape, he is a magician who is watched by countless police forces, has to fight wits with various famous detectives from time to time, and is always at risk of being hunted. Therefore, for safety reasons, Kidd also uses some ancient magic tricks in his outfit - arrogant white on the outside and low-key black on the inside.
In this way, when necessary, in the dark, Kidd could let the dummy in white clothes attract the police's attention on his behalf, while he himself blended into the night and left in a low-key manner.
Jiang Xia thought while looking at Kidd: "..." Why did this thief show off his skills between buildings instead of fighting with the police with a hang glider?
It also wastes a lot of magic power - the energy cores that ghosts love to eat.
Jiang Xia secretly compared the energy he felt from Kidd before and after.
Then he found that compared to when he collided just now, Kidd's magic power had disappeared by more than half. The strange "air cushion" just now was probably some kind of application of magic power. In the darkness, falling at high speed in the fierce cold wind, ordinary people would hardly notice the change of the airflow around them if they were a little nervous, after all, the buffering process took less than a second.
Kidd probably thought that this kind of magic was very concealed, so he used it without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at the prodigal son.
...It was just a fall from a height of seven or eight floors. Both he and Kidd must have other ways to get out of the predicament, and more than one.
But Kidd's first choice was to use up his magic power... Maybe he had just learned how to use it, so like Jiang Xia trying the leopard, he tried the new thing first.
Jiang Xia: “…”
Although just now, he was able to forcibly pull magic power out of the air.
But if an ordinary detective does not want his peaceful life to be disrupted, then he obviously should not master the ability of "eating magic power", which is too scary for some people.
Jiang Xia had no choice but to watch the energy core slip away from his fingers.
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly... Wasn't it enough that Fog Tengu went to visit Kidd frequently enough?
The ghosts heard his mumbling.
Matsuda Jinpei thought of the increasingly haggard face of Kid's grandfather assistant, Terai Huangzhisuke, and felt a little guilty. He secretly said: Maybe the thief needs to save some magic power to operate. Kid usually steals gems everywhere, and the things he steals will also become energy cores, which is sustainable development.
Jiang Xia sighed: What kind of magic does a thief need? Various high-tech equipment and magic tricks that are not much worse than magic are enough. Adding magic, it is too bullying for the police, and they need fair psychics to help balance it out.
Matsuda Jinpei: “…”
He looked at his righteous psychic master, then thought about the police and Kidd.
Suddenly I remembered the fable of the fox dividing the meat.
——Two puppies picked up a piece of delicious meat and fought over who should get it. A passing fox watched gracefully for a moment and suggested that they each take half. The dogs thought this was a great idea, so they happily asked the fair fox to help them divide it.
After the enthusiastic fox helped to divide the meat, he took a closer look and found that the size was not right. The piece on the right was too big. So to be fair, he decisively took a bite of the meat on the right. He didn't know how to measure it when he bit it, so he bit too much and the piece on the left became a little bigger. Then, to be fair, he took another bite of the left...
All the meat went into the fox's stomach.
…
Jiang Xia didn't really put "increasing the frequency of picking up Kidd" on the agenda.
There is some truth to what Matsuda Jinpei said... Although Kidd has many tricks, he can easily fail for various reasons.
Besides the police, Kidd also has to deal with a murderous organization whose cadres are codenamed after animals... It's better to keep some magic power so that sustainable development can be achieved.
