Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 578 Steps to Assault the Detective

  If you can't grasp Jiang Xia's whereabouts, if you rashly replace Jiang Xia and go to the Dusk Annex...

   Kidd recalled how often Jiang Xia solved cases when he was away based on his investigation. I always feel that something bad is going to happen.

  —This time at the dinner party at the "Dusk Annex", the invited guests were all famous detectives from all over the world.

  If one of them was reading news on the way to the Dusk Pavilion, he suddenly published a report that "Jiang Xia sees out the murderer's conspiracy somewhere". Then the detective finished analyzing the case and went to the Dusk Pavilion to have a look, and found that "Jiang Xia", who was supposed to be taking notes, was now leisurely attending a dinner party...

   The news of "Kid will change face" is well known in the detective world.

   If that was the case, Kidd felt that as soon as he arrived, he would be forced to take off his vest.

  ...That's why Kidd gave up Jiang Xia and reluctantly changed to another disguised target.

   However, he didn't expect that when he was squatting on the goal today, he ran into Jiang Xia by chance.

  "..." Kidd was heartbroken again.

   Thinking about it carefully, it is actually more suitable to dress up as Jiang Xia than to dress up as Gun Tian Yumei.

  ...not because he wanted to play Jiang Xia for a long time, but never had the chance.

   But this way, you don't have to pretend to be short. One of the most difficult parts to deal with when disguising is the height of the disguised object, which is usually fine, but today with a group of detectives, it may be seen. And other detectives also have their own inconveniences: some are too short, some carry pets that recognize their owners, some have just returned to China, their whereabouts are difficult to catch, and some need to have skills...

   Now, it is rare to meet Jiang Xia outside, which may be fate.

  …In short, it’s him!

   The phantom thief who values ​​fun quickly changed his target.

  …

   After deciding to change his face to Jiang Xia, Kidd recalled the investigation about this detective.

  —Although he has never heard of Jiang Xia practicing martial arts, he seems to have never seen news like "Jiang Xia was injured while chasing a prisoner".

   In other words, the detective's force value seems to be unknown.

  …Just to be on the safe side, don’t attack head-on. Approach him cautiously, and then sneak attack, which is more secure.

  Thinking like this, Kidd took a final look at Amuro and walked to the warehouse secretly.

   When he was struggling with the disguised target just now, he didn't forget to overhear the conversation between Amuro Toru and the clerk, and he knew the news that Amuro Toru's vehicle had a flat tire.

   Therefore, before going out, Kidd did some tricks on the warehouse door to make it difficult to open, delaying Amuro Toru's time to leave the gas station.

After   , he used lightweight black technology materials to squeeze a similar fake spare tire. Then take the spare tire and leave in secret.

When    set foot on the mountain road, Kidd had completely changed into Amuro Toru's face. I couldn't find the exact same clothes, so I "borrowed" a similar color from the staff room and quickly remodeled it manually.

  …

  Jiang Xia was sitting in the car, waiting bored, but suddenly felt that the ghosts around him raised their heads one by one, as if they had noticed something that could smash, and began to look out the window.

   Jiang Xia was startled, and then he vaguely felt the breath of magic.

   He looked through the car window in the direction he sensed, and saw "Amuro" walking back with a spare tire.

   Microstripe looked left and right, there was no one else, only Amuro Toru was the only one on the road ahead. However, in that direction, there was a faint smell of magic. Magic power can be used as an energy nucleus, making the ghosts more robust, and then strengthening the puppets...

   Jiang Xia's eyes finally settled on "Amuro Toru".

  "..." Although the boss seems to have magical bonuses when driving and beating people, in theory, he should be just an ordinary human without magical powers. Otherwise, after such a long time, he must have reached the energy core long ago.

   Also, there is no reason for Amuro to buy a spare tire, and suddenly awakened his magic power across the crowd.

   Jiang Xia looked at "Amuro Toru" who was approaching, and vaguely speculated.

   The distance was a little closer, and after he could smell the specific smell of magic power, he was more certain: the "Amuro Toru" in front of him should have been made by Kidd.

  ...I haven't seen him for a few days, but Kidd's hidden magic seems to have grown a lot.

   Speaking of magic...I don't know where Koizumi Koizumi and her helper went to hide. Compared with the witches who have accumulated over the years, Kidd's background is still a little thin, and it always ends at the beginning, which is not enjoyable... But later, Jiang Xia secretly went to the Witch Castle for several laps, but he couldn't. Seeing their figures again, the castle has even begun to be abandoned with long grass.

   Jiang Xia missed the two witches for a short while, and hoped that they would return with their magic power or a new helper as soon as possible.

   When he came back to his senses, "Amuro Toru" had already carried the tires and walked to the side.

   Then he naturally knocked on Jiang Xia's car window: "Come and help."

  …The voice is the same as Toru Amuro.

   Jiang Xia responded, pushed the door and got out of the car, guessing Kidd's purpose—probably wanting to pretend to be him or Toru Amuro, find a way to go to the Twilight Annex, sneak in among the detectives, and attend the dinner party.

   I just don’t know if this phantom thief is going to dress up as Amuro Toru, or as him…

Next to   , "Amuroto" had already put the tires aside and asked Jiang Xia to find the jack.

   Jiang Xia walked to the trunk and was about to get tools when he felt the ghosts poking him.

   He dodged in preparation, and then heard a subtle "zilla" sound of electric current passing from where he was just now and hitting the lid of the box.

  Jiang Xia: "..." No need to guess, it seems Kidd is going to pretend to be him.

  Speaking of which, this phantom thief is quite cautious. He would approach Toru Amuro first, instead of coming directly...

   Jiang Xia dodged the sneak attack, raised his head, and saw that Kidd resolutely gave up the electric shock after he missed a hit, and then his white-gloved hand reached into his arms and took out a sedative gun.

  Jiangxia: "…"

   In the face of an innocent and defenseless detective, he chose to use a gun, which is really not about martial arts...

   When he goes back, he will also find a doctor to order a sedative gun... However, once a person is anaesthetized and has no thoughts, he will not be able to knock down murderous aura. To be practical, it is more practical to throw a stick.

  While thinking about it, Jiang Xia stretched out his hand and pulled out the swinging stick. Before Kidd pulled the trigger, he flicked the swinging stick and swept away.

   The thin black stick whistled and hit Kid's wrist.

   Kidd raised his hand slightly and avoided it nimbly. At the same time, he took a step back abruptly, narrowly avoiding Jiang Xia's hand grabbing at his neckline, and at the same time he didn't forget to press his jacket - in case there was an embarrassing scene where someone avoided and the corner of his shirt was grabbed.
