Chapter 849: Evil Thief Extra Update to the Leader [Mountain Shaking Seal]
Originally, Kid was still thinking, if Inspector Nakamori mistakenly thought he was "Kaito Kuroba", how should he pretend to be Shinichi Kudo and get away with it.
I didn't expect that changing the hairstyle would be so effective. Uncle Nakamori simply assumed that he was Kudo Shinichi.
"Don't underestimate the high school detective, Inspector Nakamori. The detective is the biggest enemy of the Phantom Thieves. I will definitely be able to see through his tricks and disguises."
Kidd quickly got into the state, showing a confident smile similar to Kudo Shinichi's: "Actually, I just found a suspicious person. When I was about to ask him in detail, he ran away vigilantly. I chased him all the way, and then..."
As Kidd spoke, he looked at the suspicious person next to him who had collided with him, causing both of them to fall from the air at the same time. He secretly signaled to Inspector Nakamori: This is the suspicious person who was stamped by "Kudo Shinichi" and is suspected to be Kidd, come and check him out.
——In Kidd's opinion, no other thieves have issued warning letters tonight, and the one jumping around at a height of seven or eight floors at this time might be a burglar who used a new type of climbing equipment.
In short, to be on the safe side, it is better to put the blame of the "Phantom Thief" on the person next to him and let the police investigate him. Firstly, it can eliminate hidden dangers, and secondly, it can divert the attention of the police to this person, so that he can take the opportunity to slip away - if later, the "Kid suspect" next to him is not a burglar, but an innocent passerby who likes parkour, then the police will not really arrest him as Kid, after all, Kid has committed so many crimes, that person can definitely provide one or two alibis.
Thinking of this, Kidd's gaze fell on the "suspicious person" next to him.
Then he stiffened slightly.
…He saw a familiar face.
——One meter away, Jiang Xia was sitting on the debris of the carport, also looking up at him.
The two sides looked at each other, and Jiang Xia laughed softly, with complex meanings in his laughter.
Kidd looked at Jiang Xia's expression which contained "I see" and "I understand everything", then thought about what he had just said, and his heart was silently lifted.
...How could it be Jiang Xia? !
Let’s not talk about why this detective was wandering upstairs in the middle of the night, but judging from the current situation... the identity of "Kudo Shinichi" might fool others, but Kidd knew in his heart that this would never fool Jiang Xia.
——Kid once tried to pretend to be Ran Mouri. As a necessary preparation, Kid checked everyone in the circle and accidentally discovered that "Kudo Shinichi turned into a child".
When Kidd committed crimes before, he had also encountered Jiang Xia and Edogawa Conan together.
According to his memory, Jiang Xia's attitude towards "Conan" is definitely not the same as that towards an ordinary child - Jiang Xia must know that "Kudo Shinichi = Conan", which means that now, Jiang Xia knows that the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him is a fake!
Kidd: “…”
... Fortunately, no one has pinched his face, and no one knows that this face is not a disguise, but the real thing. His appearance has not been fully exposed.
Thinking of this, Kidd stopped looking at Jiang Xia.
He maintained his "Kudo Shinichi" attitude and looked at the police calmly.
Although his expression was calm, Kidd was already rapidly thinking of ways to deal with the situation.
The hand hanging by his side moved slightly, and with the help of his body, a tube of clear anesthetic appeared in the palm of his hand and rotated silently between his fingers a few times.
——The simplest way to deal with it is to take advantage of the chaos to knock down Jiang Xia, the insider. Then lie to the police and say that Jiang Xia fainted due to the fall, and fool the police who surrounded the place.
but……
Kidd recalled the incident not long ago when he disguised himself as Toru Amuro and attacked Jiang Xia from behind, but was almost knocked down and beaten by Jiang Xia with a stick. In the end, it was Mist Tengu who helped to intercept him and he successfully got the "Jiang Xia" vest. He sighed silently in his heart.
...Let's put this plan aside for now.
He moved his hand slightly again, and the anesthetic turned into several smoke bombs.
Kidd thought that Jiang Xia obviously knew that the "Kudo Shinichi" next to him was a fake and was wary of him. At this time, trying to give Jiang Xia an anesthetic injection might just end up shooting himself in the foot... It would be better to be decisive and retreat directly.
However, before Kidd found the right time to detonate the smoke bomb, he heard Jiang Xia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly speak.
Next to him, Jiang Xia looked at the police. As Kidd stared in surprise, he continued what he had just said: "We chased the suspicious person and followed him to climb over the wall. But the roof seemed to have been tampered with and could not bear the weight of two people. It collapsed just as we climbed up... You all saw what happened next."
Jiang Xia looked at the ruins of the shed below him, sighed, and then provided some information: "——The suspicious person ran to the northwest corner."
As he spoke, he casually pointed the police in a direction close to the exhibition hall.
This argument actually has quite a few loopholes.
- For example, there were no signs of "suspicious persons" passing by on the carport, and Jiang Xia and Kidd fell from a higher place and crashed into the shed.
However, for Jiang Xia at this time, these are not difficult to explain.
——With Inspector Nakamori’s impatient temper, he probably won’t realize the need to check these trivial traces for a while.
Moreover, the person Jiang Xia and "Kudo Shinichi" were tracking just now was a well-known thief suspected to be "Kid". It was normal for this mysterious thief in the eyes of the police not to leave any traces on the roof.
Of course, if everything was different from what Jiang Xia expected, and the police investigated seriously and found out the problem... by then, Kidd would have already run away.
Therefore, if Inspector Nakamori asked, Jiang Xia could easily put the blame on Kid: it was this cunning thief who kidnapped Kudo Shinichi, disguised himself as him, and threatened the innocent detective to lie for him - although it was rumored that Kid would not kill, it was just a rumor after all, what if he was anxious and killed someone when his identity was exposed? Therefore, for the sake of safety, Jiang Xia could only be an accomplice for the time being, after all, he could not use his precious companion to gamble with the conscience of the criminal.
A set of lines has been prepared.
However, Inspector Nakamori did not give him a chance to perform.
The middle-aged police officer did not think much about it - after hearing two reputable high school detectives point out the direction of "Kid's" escape, Inspector Nakamori waved his hand and led the police officers to chase after him.
Jiang Xia looked at the policemen's backs as they walked away: "..."
He stood up, dusted himself off, then looked up and noted the location of the shed, planning to compensate the unlucky owner later and exchange business cards with the victim - maybe they would come in handy someday.
