Chapter 110 Kidd is also a worker. Additional update to the leader [Full stack Susu]
Conan was looking at the notice letter in his hand, trying to decipher the message Kidd left.
Kidd likes to guess charades in his notice letters - cleverly hiding the time of his crime and the place of his appearance in the text.
As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly heard Suzuki Sonoko shouting "Jiang Xia!" happily. Conan was startled and quickly came back to his senses.
A second later, he calmly took out the soundproof earplugs he just bought and put them into his ears - he bet 1,200 yen that Jiang Xia's first words after coming over were definitely "I read the invitation yesterday.
I feel like Kidd will appear at xxx at x time and xx minute” and the like.
However...Jiang Xia didn't say anything.
This classmate just nodded and said hello to Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko.
Then he walked up to Conan and patted him on the shoulder with an air of "Leave it to you!"
Finally, he sat silently in the corner, on the sofa used for entertaining guests.
…
Conan: "...?"
Okay, I lost the bet.
I'm willing to admit defeat. It just so happens that the single volume of "Detective Zuomonji" is on sale today, so I spent 1,200 yen to buy it.
Conan quickly settled his bet.
Then he happily took off his earplugs and ran to Jiang Xia - looking at Jiang Xia's taciturn and listless look, he must have failed to solve the puzzle!
...After so many times, when facing Jiang Xia, Conan felt for the first time that "everyone is on the same starting line", and he rekindled his fighting spirit.
Conan remembered the way Jiang Xia encouraged him just now, and imitated Jiang Xia's example. He patted Jiang Xia's forearm that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, expressing his competitive spirit: "Don't be discouraged. Let's compete and see who can solve the problem he gave first."
Puzzle.”
"Puzzle?" Jiang Xia turned to look at Conan, her eyes falling on the note in his hand.
It was a copy of Kaitou Kidd's preview letter - the original was torn into pieces by Suzuki Sonoko's father in a rage, so he had to put it together and make a few more copies.
Suzuki Sonoko also sent a copy to Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia remembered that the content above was:
【April·fool
When the moon separates two people
In the name of dark stars
Invited to the waves
I will definitely arrive]
Jiang Xia said without interest: "Oh, you said this."
"Yeah..." Conan listened to Jiang Xia's tone and recalled his attitude towards the notice letter. He suddenly became alert and had a vague premonition of something bad.
He reached for his earbuds again, but it was already too late.
Next to him, Jiang Xia sighed: "Kid probably wants to say that he will appear on the roof of the Aipido Hotel after 0 o'clock in the middle of the night, and no later than 4:30 in the morning."
Conan, who had just flattened the earplugs and had not had time to push them into the ear canal: "..."
...Can you speak slower next time?
…
Jiang Xia had already seen Conan's earplugs.
So when Conan asked him about "Kid", Jiang Xia solved the mystery clearly and secretly hoped that Conan would not waste his energy on the Phantom Thief and concentrate on doing the things that "Conan" should do.
Next to him, Conan sadly put the earplugs back into the box.
At the same time, I mentally summarized my mistakes - earplugs are indeed too slow to use. You have to squeeze them flat first, and then wait for them to expand in the ear canal and block the gap...
Now it seems that this can't keep up with Jiang Xia's speed in solving puzzles.
"..." Next time I'd better buy a soundproof earmuff and hang it directly around my neck. When Jiang Xia opened her mouth, she immediately picked it up and put it on...
…
Conan sighed sadly.
At this time, when he saw the notice letter that kept him up all night, it was like reading a question with a riddle in mind, which was useless.
Even because he was too smart, the moment Jiang Xia said the answer, Conan immediately deduced the reasoning process in reverse, and there was no fun at all.
Conan's eyes lost their luster.
He leaned on the sofa and thought about life tiredly, and suddenly felt a little strange: "Why didn't you tell the police this?"
Jiang Xia still looked uninterested:
"The letter specifically says 'April fool', Happy April Fool's Day - even if he appears there today as shown in the preview, he will probably only watch and not take action.
"So we don't need to go there specially, and we don't have to worry about things going wrong - Kidd will definitely send a warning letter before he takes action. Even if we don't go there, he will find a way to send the second warning letter for his own principles.
Come."
Conan: "..."
I don't know why, when Jiang Xia said this, he suddenly felt that Kidd, who was flying around so majesticly in the sky, was like an unlucky courier who encountered a lazy customer.
"..." As someone who was also persecuted by Jiangxia, Conan suddenly felt a little sympathy for Kidd.
However, he quickly thought that Jiang Xia's decision could not be said to be completely wrong - Kidd had committed numerous crimes in the past, but he had never left anything like fingerprints that could prove his identity.
Even if the police rush to surround him, as long as Kidd is thick-skinned, he can still say that he is just a passerby wearing Kidd's clothes and playing cosplay on the roof - he has not stolen anything and cannot be caught on the spot.
Conan: "..." Even so, he was still a little curious about this phantom thief. He wanted to go and meet him for a while.
Jiang Xia vaguely felt Conan's complicated mood.
He thought for a moment and secretly encouraged: "If you are interested in Kidd, you can go to the rooftop to play with him during that time." In short, we must increase the contact and let Kidd get the aura of the detective world as soon as possible.
…
…
Even so, before leaving, Jiang Xia thought about it and reported it to the police.
——Although he is not interested in Kidd at this stage, in the future, when there are murder cases around Kidd. If he gains some relevant reputation in advance, it will undoubtedly be easier to be invited to participate...
