Chapter 569 Want to pretend to be Jiang Xia
One hour later.
As the car was winding along the mountain road, the tires suddenly made a bang.
Then it deflated.
Jiang Xia was awakened by the familiar noise. He was still a little dazed, but his body instinctively began to condense puppets in the trunk, preparing to pierce the spare tire.
However, before the puppet was formed, Xiaobai and Miss Spider, who had also consciously floated into the trunk, floated back one after another, looking a little lonely.
——This time, because Yuya Kazami suddenly disappeared, and the public security officers were busy searching for the strange passenger who tried to hitchhike in the middle of the night, the group was inevitably in a hurry, and Toru Amuro was inexplicably out of shape.
In short, there was no new spare tire in the trunk.
Jiang Xia was awakened by the sound of a flat tire.
Toru Amuro had already skillfully stabilized the car, stopped it on the side of the road, and sighed.
Then he adjusted the position of his gun bag, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Jiang Xia followed him out of the car and walked to the back.
Then he saw Toru Amuro reaching out to push open the trunk, lowered his eyes and glanced, stunned for a moment.
After a moment, the undercover police officer, who had been very sleep-deprived recently, frowned and muttered in a low voice: "This time, the whole thing was stolen..."
Jiang Xia: “……?”
...Slander, this is slander.
He didn't steal the tire, and neither did the puppets.
Xiaobai and Miss Spider seemed to have the same feeling. They looked at Toru Amuro with a faint light flashing in their eyes at the same time.
Although he was suddenly blamed, Jiang Xia remained silent for a moment, then thought of the surprise trip carefully arranged by his boss and decided to pretend nothing happened.
He looked around habitually, trying to find a place to stay.
However, this place was still some distance from the Twilight Annex. He did not see the annex, which had greatly deteriorated in quality, but he saw another building.
Jiang Xia pointed diagonally ahead and said, "There is a gas station over there. There should be a spare tire there."
Toru Amuro glanced in the direction of the gas station and nodded.
Although their subordinates who were following them from a distance had spare tires, they could pretend to be passers-by and deliver tires at any time.
But now, if he didn't go to the gas station which was just around the corner and waited for someone on the road, it would be too suspicious.
Thinking of this, Amuro Toru yawned, rubbed his forehead, and walked towards the gas station: "Let's go and take a look."
After walking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and stopped again.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Xia who was following him, and stopped him, "There are some important documents in the car, you stay here."
…This is a lie.
...The main reason is that having come this far, even Toru Amuro, who firmly does not believe in coincidences and only cares about physical evidence, can't help but become alert to something like "incident constitution".
Although the dice decided to continue observing Jiangxia and hold on until the end of the plan, Amuro Toru actually wanted to take a break. He didn't want to stay in the mountains any longer, but planned to at least hold on until he reached the city where there were comfortable hotels.
In short, considering that a place like a gas station would definitely have some staff around even if there weren't many customers, Toru Amuro decisively decided to have Jiang Xia stay away from there and stay in an empty car. He would go get a spare tire and come back quickly.
As we all know, murders won't happen as long as there are no people.
Jiang Xia nodded, had no objection, and returned to the car.
There are actually not many cases at gas stations.
Compared to this, what he cared about was: after crossing two more mountains and a bridge, the Dusk Villa where the incident might have occurred would be behind...
…
At the gas station.
Kidd, wearing an ordinary disguised face and a dark blue employee uniform, mixed in with the staff, secretly observing the passers-by.
Recently, he didn't find a suitable gem, but instead accidentally discovered that someone was using his name to defraud people.
——Several famous detectives received a dark invitation letter, inviting them to have dinner at the "Twilight Annex". The invitation letter was signed by "The Phantom of the Son Forsaken by God".
Kidd stared at the lengthy signature for a while and frowned.
"Phantom" means to appear and disappear mysteriously, which is needless to say. The remaining "son abandoned by God", combined with the allusions in the Bible, can make people think of "little goat". This word is changed into English, and it becomes Kid.
...Just like the letter of request with cash inside, it can always accurately summon Hattori Heiji.
Those who commit crimes in the name of Kidd will always be able to accurately bring Kidd down from the sky.
After Kidd discovered that his name had been misused, he decided to sneak into this mysterious dinner and see what was going on.
…
Today, he came to work at this gas station not far from Twilight Villa, precisely to wait for his target - the invited Ikumi Gunda.
Kidd planned to knock out Ikumi Gunda who was passing by and hide her, and then disguise himself as her and go to the banquet.
Before this, he had seriously considered the idea of "disguising himself as Jiang Xia" and had conducted corresponding investigations on Jiang Xia.
So now, as soon as Toru Amuro entered the gas station, Kid immediately recognized him - he seemed to be the boss of the detective agency where Jiang Xia worked.
Suddenly seeing Toru Amuro, and thinking about Jiang Xia who had not been in Tokyo recently, Kid's mind suddenly became active.
Come to think of it, when he was browsing the treasure news yesterday, he seemed to have seen the report about Jiang Xia solving the case. In the corners of those pictures, there was also a little figure of Amuro Toru. Although the person was not directly photographed, it was still relatively easy for a thief like Kidd who needed to memorize human features.
In other words, since Toru Amuro appeared in this gas station, Jiang Xia was probably nearby...
…
To Kidd, Jiang Xia was just a detective he had met a few times at the crime scene.
According to Kidd's observation, although Jiang Xia is very perceptive and often gives him the illusion that "this detective has seen through my disguise", in general, Jiang Xia does not seem to be keen on "catching the phantom thief". On the contrary, he often sits among the police and is distracted. He was even suspected by Inspector Nakamori and was caught and had his face pulled several times.
...If Kidd hadn't been worried about his disguise being ruined if his face was grabbed, he would have wanted to try disguising himself as Jiang Xia a long time ago - Jiang Xia seemed to have a good relationship with the second young lady of the Suzuki family, and therefore it would be very convenient for her to get close to the treasure.
This time, among the detectives invited to Dusk Villa, Jiang Xia was actually one of them.
When Kidd first discovered this, he was very excited: this dinner was not directly signed with "Kid", but required solving a puzzle; in addition, there was no reservation for the stolen treasure.
In other words, Inspector Nakamori, who loves to pull Jiang Xia's face, will not appear...
Thinking of this, Kidd suddenly had an idea and decided to disguise himself as Jiang Xia to fulfill his long-cherished wish and challenge himself to play the role of this detective who seemed somewhat mysterious to him.
However, the day before, after making inquiries around the office where Jiang Xia worked, Kidd discovered with regret that there was indeed an invitation to the Twilight Villa in the mailbox at the door of the office, but Jiang Xia, who had been invited, was not in Tokyo and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
"I don't like pirates who burn, kill and plunder, nor do I like the current world government, so I turn a blind eye to some things that should be managed, and I have to intervene in some things that should not be managed - this is my justice."
Facing the junior who had just been promoted to general, Figo, the first director of Impel Down, said this.
Kizaru: "You've wasted your time."
When I got back to the office, I wrote 'Ambiguous Justice' and hung it on the wall.
