Chapter 853: Where? Check out the remaining value to the leader [Vampire Eternal]
Jiang Xia remembered what Inspector Nakamori had just said, "Not even a fly can fly in." He immediately understood why he was staring at his cat vest. So he looked at Nakamori Ginzo with a hint of expectation - he didn't know if the police would show some murderous intent when they were angry...
Unfortunately, however, there is still a difference between anger and murderous intent.
Inspector Nakamori was stared at by the cat with shining eyes for a few seconds. He looked at the cameraman who was about to move the lens away, and he was furious. He raised his hand and pointed at the innocent cat passing by, and shouted at his subordinates: "Where did the cat come from? How are you guarding it! Throw it out!"
Jiang Xia: “…”
Tsk, how unfriendly. Why bother a handsome cat? He's not here to steal anything, he's just passing by to take a look...
…
Catching a cat with bare hands is obviously not much easier than catching a thief with bare hands. Even if it is just a fake cat.
Before a group of policemen rushed over, Jiang Xia opened the cat vest and took a running start. He used several decorative protrusions on the wall to gain leverage and jumped into the narrow ventilation duct.
After standing firm, Jiang Xia turned around and looked down at the stupid cat catchers, leaving them with a gloomy back, and quickly disappeared into the pipe.
After a while, wait for the noise below to subside.
Jiang Xia drove the cat back the same way. Then he lay down a little closer to the pipe opening, tucked his conspicuous white paws under his body, and peered into the bustling exhibition hall.
——Of course there would be no lights in the pipe. In this case, a black cat lying in the narrow black shadow would not be easy to find as long as it did not move.
However, some people noticed something was wrong.
…
The female reporter who was hosting the live broadcast, after introducing Inspector Nakamori and the goddess statue, quickly turned to another eye-catching highlight.
"The next helper I'm going to introduce is a high school detective who just returned from London. I'm sure you've all heard of him." The reporter smiled and gestured to the person beside him, "He's - Bai Ma...?"
As soon as he raised his hand, the person disappeared.
The reporter was stunned when he looked at the statue of the goddess behind him, which Kidd had targeted for theft.
——In his memory, the white horse detective was squatting next to the goddess statue, checking something. However, at this moment, the statue was empty, and there was no conspicuous mixed-blood detective at all.
"..." The reporter looked carefully and found that Bai Ma Tan had walked to the corner of the wall at some point, and was looking up at something.
The assistant that Bai Ma Tan always brought with him, the eagle named "Watson", was also staring at the same direction. A sharp light flashed in the eagle's small black bean-like eyes, and it flapped its furry wings excitedly.
The white horse is leaning upwards.
A man and an eagle were watching in the ventilation duct.
The dark cloud snow cat lay at the mouth of the pipe, looked down at the white horse, then looked at the white horse's eagle, and finally, his eyes fell on the eagle's wings, looking at the slightly fluffy feathers, the cat's claws curled up unconsciously, as if wanting to rub something.
Bai Ma leaned forward, and the reporter held up a microphone and approached carefully: "Mr. Bai Ma?"
Bai Ma heard that a lady was talking to him, and his gentlemanly nature came out, and he turned around and glanced at the reporter.
His eagle "Watson" did not show a similar habit, still staring upward, observing the cat hiding in the ventilation duct. It was ready to take off, but was grabbed by Bai Ma Tan and carried back to its original position.
Bai Ma Tan knew very well what his Eagle wanted to do.
——He’s probably targeting the cat and planning to catch his prey.
However, given the size of the pipe, the eagle would probably get stuck as soon as it entered.
And the focus now is obviously not a cat that strayed into the exhibition hall, but the arrogant criminal in white - Kaito Kid.
Just now, when the cat caused a commotion in the exhibition hall and Inspector Nakamori angrily shouted at his subordinates to catch the cat, Detective Hakuba had actually arrived at the venue.
At that time, he was a bystander and had carefully observed the police being fooled by the cat. The cat did not have any collar or other places that could fix the eavesdropping device, nor any suspicious metal reflections. It should not be Kidd's accomplice, but just a cat passing by and entering the building to keep warm.
In addition, after the incident at Twilight Annex last time, Hakuba realized that his "Watson" was not as sensible as he thought before - Watson would sometimes attack innocent passers-by when he was in a good mood, disrupting the situation. He couldn't just let it do whatever it wanted.
So now, Bai Ma Tan did not loosen the eagle chain, nor did he pay any more attention to the cat that was lying comfortably in the ventilation duct, watching the show and eating melons.
He returned to the focus of the exhibition hall - the statue of the goddess, and began to patiently answer various questions raised by reporters.
When the reporter finally finished asking him questions and started broadcasting live in other places around him, Bai Ma Tan also looked around with a low sense of presence and started doing various things that he thought were necessary.
…
At the same time, the police did not relax.
Inspector Nakamori paced back and forth between the door and window of the exhibition hall, while listening carefully to the reports sent back by his subordinates inside with his headphones on:
“There’s nothing wrong with the roof.”
"Nothing unusual happened in Area A on the 11th floor."
"There is nothing wrong with the pipes on the 8th floor."
“…”
…
In the exhibition hall, in the ventilation duct.
Below, the police and the White Horse detective were busy with their own things.
Jiang Xia, who was watching, yawned silently, moved the cat's paw under his body, and gradually felt that the waiting time was a bit boring.
——It was really lively when the Phantom Thief appeared.
But the preparations before and the aftermath afterwards were too boring for him, a spectator.
And until now, Jiang Xia has not found anyone with murderous intent.
In other words, the chance of a surprise dropping here later is not that high... Kid and Hakuba are still a little short of their level in terms of summoning murders. It turns out that it is more convenient for Kudo-san to be on the scene to produce such derivative gains. Hattori Heiji will also do the same.
...Hmm? Speaking of which, I haven't seen that Osaka detective for a long time. I wonder if Hattori-san has received a new invitation to a serial murder case.
While Jiang Xia quietly put "exchanging feelings with Hattori Heiji" on the agenda, he looked forward to a bright future.
Afterwards, he looked back at the exhibition hall and began to study Inspector Nakamori who was right in front of him - he seemed to have a bad temper.
It’s a pity that just now, when Inspector Nakamori saw the cat passing by the exhibition hall, although he was angry, he did not show any murderous intent.
Kidd is a punctual thief most of the time. He will come to steal at the time he says he will. Now, there is still some time before Kidd's scheduled time. Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that it was too inefficient to continue lying here and waiting.
So, I'm just sitting around doing nothing.
...Why don't we test the potential of the people in Investigation Section 2?
