Beside him, Kidd watched Jiang Xia's actions and thought about how the detective protected him in front of the police just now, and felt a little confused.
——Why did Jiang Xia help him?
...or is it that the fake kid has changed back, and Jiang Xia feels that the "Kudo Shinichi" in front of him is the real thing?
But Kidd remembered that a few days ago, he saw "Edogawa Conan" who appeared with Jiang Xia in the corner of the newspaper photo... Could it be that Kudo Shinichi successfully transformed in just a few days?
Right? Or maybe he found a way to temporarily change back to his original appearance?
Thinking of this, Kidd looked at Jiang Xia, and tried to chat with Kudo Shinichi in a tone of voice: "I didn't expect you to go out so late to catch the Phantom Thieves - why did you suddenly change your gender? Could you be learning from me?"
——In Kidd's impression, every time he acted, Conan was running around, trying to capture the Phantom Thief.
And Jiang Xia... most of the time, he just dozed off among the policemen, or leaned on some comfortable sofa or stool to get distracted. He acted like he came to play with the children and watch the drama by himself.
Only occasionally when a murder case occurs, Jiang Xia will become a "detective" and rush to solve the case like an energetic young man.
This really made Kidd quite concerned - Jiang Xia's attitude always made Kidd feel that he, the strange thief who shocked the world, was just an ordinary thief and did not need to worry about the detective.
...Although he would not hold a grudge against the detective and follow the path of a shark criminal. But in his heart, Kidd was indeed curious about the reason why Jiang Xia was not interested in the Phantom Thieves.
And now, Kidd thought, the time has come to clear up the confusion.
——Maybe he can use Kudo Shinichi to ask him the reason why he is worried about it?
…
Jiang Xia heard Kidd's words and turned to look at him.
Seemingly seeing through Kidd's plan to "disguise himself as Kudo Shinichi", Jiang Xia reminded him kindly: "No need to act, he is still just a primary school student."
"..."
"Sure enough, you discovered it." Kidd maintained the mysterious smile of the Phantom Thief, his tone was calm, and he tried hard to hide his true appearance, "I didn't recognize you in time just now - otherwise I wouldn't have used Kudo Shinichi.
face."
Jiang Xia: "..." Guan couldn't recognize anything. This is obviously your own face...
However, considering the magic power and energy core that Kidd worked so hard to provide, coupled with the various delicious forces involved behind him.
Jiang Xia considerately ignored this point and did not expose it. He followed his words and said: "I really have no interest in catching the Phantom Thief. You can continue to do what you want to do tonight, and there is no need to change your plans because of meeting me - but,
You'd better change your disguise and stop using Kudo Shinichi's face."
"As you wish." Gentleman Kidd nodded, and at the same time secretly felt that this seemed to be a suitable time to withdraw.
but……
Kidd paused for a moment. In the end, curiosity got the better of him.
He did not move, but asked casually: "I owe you a favor this time - speaking of it, did you help me just now because I helped you reveal the true face of that scumbag boss a few days ago?
?”
Jiang Xia: "...?"
... He didn't betray Kidd in front of the police, but it had nothing to do with the innocent boss. He just wanted Kidd to carry out his work smoothly - only those treasures stolen by Kidd have a chance of hatching energy cores.
Exposing Kidd in public and having him be pounced upon and held down by a group of police officers... This obviously did not meet the needs of a psychic. And taking into account the friendship when the vest was on, compared to the police who searched the second section, he was of course still with Kidd.
more mature,
However, as "high school student detective Jiang Xia", this kind of cover-up behavior is indeed a bit strange...
Jiang Xia thought for a moment, thinking about Kidd's position as a lone wolf who had nothing to do with either red or black, and had little friendship with the witch, and quickly found a suitable excuse:
"I lied to you just now. It has nothing to do with the boss. It's just because I really don't have much interest in catching monster thieves, and..." Jiang Xia seemed to have remembered something and looked at Kidd. "And Wutiangu said you are a good person."
"So that's it..." Kidd nodded halfway, then suddenly froze, "...?!"
...Who said he was a good person?
...Fog Dog?!
Next to him, the foggy dog in the form of a ghost was clinging to Jiang Xia. Hearing his name, he flapped his wings in confusion.
"..." Kidd couldn't see ghosts. He couldn't help but think of the scene in Tottori Prefecture a while ago - at that time, in order to sneak into the Dusk Annex, he focused on Jiang Xia's identity. At that time, Kiritengu
He and Jiang Xia looked like they were at odds with each other...and theoretically speaking, Jiang Xia should have never seen Wutengu while he was awake.
But just now...
Kidd was silent for a moment before he came back to his senses and asked tentatively: "The foggy dog you are talking about...is it a person's name? Or a code name?"
...He was worried that he had heard wrongly.
On the opposite side, Jiang Xia looked calm: "It's not a name, nor a code name, what I'm talking about is..." He paused slightly, as if thinking about how to express that specific existence more accurately.
After a while, Kidd saw Jiang Xia raise her hand, wave it slightly at her side, and gesture with her wings: "This."
...The meaning of reference is very clear. Extremely 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 at the first time.
Strong wings.
...is it really a foggy dog??
Kidd's calm "poker face" that he maintained all year round almost showed a crack.
Moreover, I don’t know why, although the acquaintance between the detective and the monster sounds very absurd, Kid actually feels that it is very reasonable...
However, Kidd quickly wondered if it was possible that Jiang Xia had inadvertently inquired about relevant information - such as the legend of Wutian Dog, and discovered that Wutian Dog often appeared at the scene of theft, so he was defrauding him?
Kidd's expression remained unchanged as he carefully considered various possibilities.
Next to him, Jiang Xia seemed to see his shock and doubts, and explained in a friendly manner: "It sounds incredible, but I am indeed naturally more attracted to small animals..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved to the side.
Kidd subconsciously tilted his head and followed Jiang Xia's line of sight.
From the shadows on the side of the building, a strong black figure suddenly jumped out and ran to Jiang Xia's side.
——It turned out to be a black leopard.
However, when he was still a few steps away from Jiang Xia, the black panther who had been hiding somewhere suddenly stopped and looked a little cowered.
Ganfanmao was thinking of his unfortunate car rollover in the air just now.
Jiang Xia: "..."
