Although the goatee and the middle-parted man are robbers, they have been out of action for ten years, and their ability to resist beatings and their mentality have deteriorated a lot.
Jiang Xia successfully knocked down the murderous aura and put it away before the owner and Toru Amuro went downstairs.
He handed the watch he found to his unfortunate granddaughter.
At this time, the gems on the watch had dimmed a little unconsciously - there was also a slight energy core in the watch. After all, these gems were essentially stolen goods.
Amuro glanced at the watch and felt that the gloss was not right.
But when he got the watch just now, the room was dark, and only the strong flashlight shone on the jewelry. Now, Jiang Xia has turned on the light in the study. When the light changes, the luster changes, which is normal...
Nakamura thanked them and took out a landline phone from the utility room.
She is a mystery novelist. She has long planned to move to this villa to find inspiration. She has brought her luggage and paid various expenses in advance. However, she is too procrastinating and has not unpacked her luggage.
After calling the police, the police arrived quickly and took in the two robbers who were still unconscious.
Nakamura Soo handed over the jewelry watch to the police. To her, this villa full of puzzles was more attractive than jewelry with shady origins.
…
A group of people finally rode a police car back to downtown Tokyo.
By the time we finished dealing with the gangster group and left the police station, it was already dark.
Tohru Amuro asked someone to go to the suburbs to tow the car for him, and he got another car to drive. He didn't know which owner was responsible for reimbursing this car.
Jiang Xia didn't bother with his car anymore. According to his "Notes on Observation of Detective Habits - Toru Amuro" in his mind, Toru Amuro's ability to attract cases would plummet as soon as he entered downtown Tokyo.
Moreover, two incidents have happened around him in the past few days... It's almost time for the boss to take a rest and gather energy for the next outing.
Dr. A Li heard about this and drove his little Beetle to pick up Jiang Xia and the two fake children home.
…
Jiang Xia originally thought that today would end peacefully.
However, when walking through a busy neighborhood, the foggy dog seemed to notice something.
It opened the car window, looked out for a while, then flew out and circled around.
When the car stopped at a nearby red light intersection, the foggy dog happily got back into the car, seeming to have discovered something.
It poked Jiang Xia and brought back good news - it saw Kidd nearby.
As he spoke, he swallowed.
When the other ghosts heard this name, their eyes suddenly lit up, similar to the reaction of the foggy dog.
Energy cores are also precious tonics. For ghosts who have tasted them, now they are like looking at plum blossoms to quench their thirst. When they see Kidd, they start to crave energy cores reflexively.
Jiang Xia also became energetic.
He looked back at the place he passed just now and remembered the location. Let Wutian Gou elaborate.
…
At this time, Kidd and Terai were waiting for someone in a nearby alley.
Not long after, a high school girl wearing casual clothes trotted up to them.
This is Nakamori Aoko, Kidd's childhood sweetheart. Her father's name is Nakamori Ginzo - the unlucky police officer from the Investigation Section 2 who chases Kidd every day.
Of course, the Nakamori father and his daughter currently don’t know Kidd’s true identity. If they knew, they might join forces to blow off his head first.
…
In the alley, Kidd saw Aoko Nakamori approaching, looked at her clothes, and sighed: "You can't enter the bar dressed like this."
Next to him, Grandpa Terai reminded him strictly: "Master, it's not a bar, it's a billiards club."
Kidd waved his hand indifferently: "That's what it means anyway."
Today's matter is actually a private matter.
——When Terai was young, he was a billiards master in this area. He once had a precious billiard cue, which was inlaid with countless diamonds and emeralds, and was only worthy of the king.
"There has been" is because decades ago, that billiard cue was won by another billiards club called America. The owner of that club came well prepared at that time, and not only brought a billiards player with superb billiard skills.
His subordinates also secretly tampered with the shell powder of Temple Well.
Countless years later, Grandpa Terai recalled this incident. Although he was not angry, he could only accept defeat.
But the thief's idea is not so legal - Kidd believes that the clubs that have been won by others through trickery can be won back through trickery.
So a few days ago, Kidd sent a warning letter to the boss of the American Club, asking to steal the King's Club.
Tonight, Kidd plans to use his true identity to sneak into the pool hall and cause chaos.
…
America is a billiards club in name, but there are bars and gambling venues inside... In short, in theory, it refuses admission to 17-year-old high school students like Kidd and Aoko Nakamori.
But rules are one thing, and enforcement is another - in this kind of shop, the less particular the boss is, the looser the management usually is.
Ten minutes later, Kidd and Nakamori Aoko successfully sneaked into America and sat at the bar.
Kidd sat upright like a serious adult, glanced at the various drink lists, and opened his mouth to order a chocolate double ball ice cream.
Grandpa Terai was sitting next to him, sweating crazily under the bartender's suspicious gaze, and quickly ordered a cocktail for Nakamori Aoko in an attempt to remedy the situation.
When the desserts and drinks were served, Kidd caught a glimpse of someone entering the door and walking towards him.
Kidd glanced over casually and was startled.
The person who came was tall, wearing a simple kimono, and was carrying a dark and narrow package behind him, which was larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.
...Fog Dog.
——This monster found a piece of cloth from somewhere and covered its wings.
... He is quite skilled and actually knows how to blend into human society as naturally as possible.
... No, this is not the point. The point is why does it suddenly appear here?
Kidd glanced at Kiritengu, then glanced at Nakamori Aoko beside him. He suddenly thought of something and froze slightly.
——Judging from the information he gathered, the police have gradually noticed the existence of the foggy dog. Of course, in their eyes, the foggy dog is just an ordinary human carrying a black special hang glider.
Kidd usually comes out at night, so the foggy dog that comes to rob him will most likely appear at night, and the foggy dog seems to consciously avoid lights and cameras. In short, most people who have witnessed it rely on their naked eyes.
Under the dark night sky, the foggy dog's equally dark wings are not so obvious, and the features and appearance of its clothes are also very vague. So it is still safe for now.
...But Kidd always feels that if this trend continues, sooner or later, the police will see the full picture of Kiritengu and misunderstand Kiritengu as an accomplice of Kidd...
In other words, if now, Kiritengu suddenly shows that he knows him, and this scene is seen by Nakamori Aoko again...
