Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 858 Fake goods plus more to the leader [Shaking Mountain Seal]

Beside   , Kidd looked at Jiang Xia’s actions, and then thought about the detective’s protection of him in front of the police just now, and he was a little puzzled.

  ——Why did Jiang Xia help him?

  … Or, that fake kid has changed back, Jiang Xia thinks the “Kudou Shinichi” in front of him is the real thing?

But Kidd remembers that a few days ago, he was still in the corner of the newspaper photo and saw “Edogawa Conan” haunting Jiang Xia… Could it be that Kudo Shinichi has successfully transformed in these short days Come on. Or, has he found a way to temporarily change back to his original appearance?

  Thinking of this, Kidd looked at Jiang Xia, tentatively used Kudo Shinichi’s tone, and chatted and chatted: “I didn’t expect you to go out so late to catch the phantom thief – why did you suddenly change your sex, is it possible that you are learning from me?”

  ——In Kidd’s impression, every time he acted, Conan was running around trying to arrest the thief.

   And Jiang Xia… Most of the time, he just dozed off among the police, or leaned on some comfortable sofa and lost his mind. A play-watching posture of coming to play with the children and watching by himself.

  Only when there is an occasional murder case, Jiang Xia will devote himself to the state of “detective”, like a vigorous young man, rushing to solve the case.

   This really made Kidd quite concerned – Jiang Xia’s attitude always gave Kidd the feeling that he was a strange thief who shocked the world, just an ordinary thief who didn’t need to worry about the detective.

  …Although it doesn’t make him hate detectives and embark on the path of shark criminals. But Kidd was really curious about the reason why Jiang Xia was not interested in phantom thieves.

   And now, Kidd thought, it’s time to clear things up.

  ——Maybe he can use Kudo Shinichi’s mouth to ask the reason why he is worried?

  …

   Jiang Xia turned to look at Kidd when he heard what Kidd said.

   seems to have seen through Kidd’s plan to “disguise as Kudo Shinichi”, Jiang Xia reminded kindly: “No need to act, he is just a primary school student now.”

  “…”

“You really found it.” Kidd maintained the mysterious smile of the phantom thief, his tone was calm, and by the way, he tried hard to hide his true face, “I didn’t recognize you in time just now – otherwise I wouldn’t use Kudo Shinichi. face.”

  Jiang Xia: “…” Guan didn’t recognize anything, it’s obviously your own face…

   However, considering the magic and energy cores that Kidd has provided hard work, plus the various delicious forces involved in his back.

Jiang Xia thoughtfully ignored this point, did not expose it, and followed his words: “I really have no interest in catching phantom thieves. You can continue to do what you want tonight, and you don’t have to change your plan just because you met me – but, You’d better change a disguise and stop using Kudo Shinichi’s face.”

   “As you wish.” Gentleman Kidd nodded, while secretly feeling that this seemed to be a suitable time to exit.

but……

   Kidd paused for a moment, but curiosity prevailed.

He didn’t move, but asked casually, “I owe you a favor this time—speaking of which, you helped me just now, is it because I helped you uncover the true face of that scumbag boss a few days ago. ?”

   Jiang Xia: “…?”

  …I didn’t betray Kidd in front of the police, but it had nothing to do with the innocent boss. He just wanted Kidd to work smoothly – only those treasures stolen by Kidd had a chance to hatch energy cores.

   Expose Kidd in public and let him be held down by a group of police… This is obviously not in line with the needs of the psychic. And considering the friendship when he was wearing a vest, he was of course better acquainted with Kidd than the police who searched the second class.

   However, as a “high school student detective Jiang Xia”, this kind of cover-up behavior is indeed a bit strange…

   Jiang Xia pondered for a moment, thinking about Kidd’s lone wolf stance, who has nothing to do with red and black, and has little friendship with witches, and quickly found a suitable excuse:

   “I lied to you just now, and it has nothing to do with the boss. It’s just because I really don’t have much interest in catching phantom thieves, and…” Jiang Xia seemed to remember something and looked at Kidd, “And Wutiangou said you are a good person.”

   “So that’s the case…” Kidd nodded halfway, and suddenly froze, “…?!”

  …Who said he was a good man?

  …Misty Tengu? !

Next to   , the ghostly-shaped Wutiangou was clinging to Jiang Xia. Hearing his name, he flapped his wings suspiciously.

  ”…” Kidd couldn’t see the ghost, he couldn’t help but think of the scene in Tottori Prefecture a while ago – at that time, in order to sneak into the Twilight Annex, he focused on Jiang Xia’s identity. At that time, Wutiangou and Jiang Xia were still opposed to each other… and in theory, Jiang Xia should have never seen Wutiangou awake.

   But just now…

   Kidd was silent for a moment before he regained his senses, and tentatively said: “The Wutiangu you said…is it a person’s name? Or a code name?”

  …he was worried that he had heard it wrong.

Opposite to   , Jiang Xia’s face was calm: “It’s not a person’s name, nor a code name, I’m talking about…” He paused for a while, as if thinking about how to express that specific existence more accurately.

   After a while, Kidd saw Jiang Xia raised his hand, waved slightly beside him, and gestured like his wings: “This.”

  … The meaning of the reference is very clear. Very clear.

Kidd looked at Jiang Xia’s movements, and almost instantly, the image of the foggy dog ​​appeared in his mind – indeed, anyone who has seen this monster will definitely notice the presence of the pair behind him for the first time. strong wings.

  … Really foggy tengu? ?

   Kidd’s impassive “poker face”, which Kidd has maintained for many years, almost showed a crack.

   And, I don’t know why, the acquaintance of the detective and the monster sounds very absurd, but Kidd actually thinks that this is very reasonable…

   However, Kidd quickly thought again, is it possible that Jiang Xia inadvertently inquired about the relevant situation – such as the legend of Wutiangou, and found that Wutiangou often haunts the scene of theft, so he is deceiving him?

   Kidd’s expression remained unchanged, and he carefully considered various possibilities.

Next to   , Jiang Xia seemed to see his shock and doubts, and explained quite kindly: “It sounds incredible, but I am indeed more attracted to small animals…”

   said he raised his hand and gestured to the side.

   Kidd tilted his head subconsciously and followed Jiang Xia’s line of sight.

   In the shadow on the side of the building, a vigorous black figure suddenly jumped out and ran to Jiang Xia’s side.

  —that turned out to be a black leopard.

   However, just a few steps away from Jiang Xia, the black panther, who had been hiding somewhere, suddenly stopped, and it seemed to be shrinking.

   The dry cat remembered the unfortunate accident he had just overturned in the air.

   Jiang Xia: “…”
