He checked the information of Gunda Yumi and Jiang Xia.
...But there is no information about the relationship between these two people.
In Kid's impression, Gunada Ikumi seemed unfamiliar with Jiang Xia. But now, she felt that her tone was quite friendly... Could it be that she got to know her better during this "business trip"?
Thinking of this, Kid felt a little lucky: Fortunately, he had read the report on the case related to the vampire villa. Even if Ikumi Gunada mentioned this intersection, he would not be blinded suddenly.
Moreover, Jiang Xia's character makes it easy for him to disguise...
Kidd calmed down quickly. He didn't show much expression. He just nodded to Gunda Ikumi as a greeting but didn't speak.
After nodding, he took a sneak peek. Seeing that neither Ikumi Gunada nor Toru Amuro showed any surprise, Kidd felt completely at ease, knowing that his reaction was not a big problem.
...It is really convenient for people who talk less.
If he continues at this pace, it will not be difficult for him to survive this dusk trip to the villa until he can find out the mastermind behind it and retire.
...There was only one thing that made Kid a little uneasy.
——Although he plans to try his best to stop the possible conspiracy, if the stoppage fails and a murder occurs here, then, if he cannot solve the case as quickly as Jiang Xia, things may go wrong.
Kidd touched his chin and felt that the problem was a bit big.
Although he is equally good at reasoning and solving puzzles, he cannot guarantee that he can solve all the puzzles at Jiang Xia's speed every time.
But at this time, Kidd thought, he should focus on how to stop the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, if the case would never happen, then he wouldn't have to worry about how to solve the case quickly.
Moreover, if I remember correctly, Jiang Xia doesn't seem to be able to solve cases as quickly as he reads a script every time - this famous detective will also be in bad shape sometimes. There is a lot of room for maneuver...
…
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a faint creaking sound of wooden boards being stepped on on the stairs.
Someone walked down.
"Jiang Xia" raised his head and saw an acquaintance.
The person who was coming downstairs was a high school student about his age.
——To be precise, it's Kidd's classmate, a detective named "White Horse Detective".
Detective Bai Ma obviously heard the conversation in the hall just now. He continued the previous topic and said:
"There is a reason for the bloodstains - it is said that forty years ago, a brutal massacre occurred here. And that case has not yet been solved."
"Oh? It sounds like there are a lot of inside stories." Gunda Ikumi joked, "You're here, don't you want to reveal something? Master Hakuba."
Genuine Jiang Xia also followed the sound and saw a mixed-race high school student walking down the stairs.
Although Jiang Xia had never seen Hakuba Tan, the eagle parked next to the high school student and the title of Gunda Ikumi were enough to guess the identity of the visitor.
...The owner of Dusk Villa is really good, he has managed to gather so many detectives.
Thinking about it, Jiang Xia couldn't help but glance at Kidd, who was quietly standing aside.
Seeing that "Jiang Xia" didn't take any action, I was immediately disappointed.
——Kidd’s imitation is too dogmatic.
If he is genuine, he will probably find an excuse to exchange business cards now, and then when he is free in the future, he will take advantage of the cases that his senior peers may have one by one under the guise of internship or exchange...
However, when I think about it, when I walk out of here tomorrow, everyone present will probably be considered to have a "life-long friendship."
In this way, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to send some letters in the future to express his regret for not actually meeting the detectives, and then use this to get on the line.
…
Toru Amuro's eyes also fell on Hakuba Tan, and he took a few more glances with interest.
If I remember correctly, this high school detective is the son of the White Horse Police Chief.
The Inspector General of Police is the head of the Metropolitan Police Department and stands at the top of the police force.
Although the police chief cannot supervise Tohru Amuro, this does not prevent him from observing the son of a high-ranking official.
In addition, Tohru Amuro remembered that Matsuda seemed to have entered the police academy based on a simple wish.
——Kick the police chief.
"..." Thinking of this, Toru Amuro subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xia, who was wearing a Matsuda shell.
Jiang Xia was seen staring at Baima Tan at this time, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"...?"
Although Toru Amuro didn't have the ability to read minds, he still keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy - the younger Matsuda seemed to be secretly thinking of some crooked idea... Could he be planning to beat up the younger Hakuba?
Well. Tsk, let’s observe Matsu... Kurosawa’s specific attitude later. We can’t really let the two sides fight...
On the stairs, the white horse detective knew nothing about the complicated thoughts of all parties.
He politely introduced himself briefly to several strangers and whistled.
The eagle sitting at the top of the stairs flew up in response.
The white horse detective then raised his protective arm.
The next second, the eagle brushed the white horse's head and passed by without even looking at his arm. It decisively abandoned its master and pounced down.
In the hall, Jiang Xia was slightly startled as she looked at the eagle flying straight towards her.
...Why are you flying towards him?
Could it be that it smells like ghost mint?
But animals should have no special reaction to ghost mint. Are eagles an exception?
While I was thinking, the swooping eagle was quickly approaching.
Jiang Xia ducked sideways in confusion, and saw the eagle's claws grabbing the place where he had just stayed.
——Jiang Xia did move away, but there were still a few ghosts who hadn't followed up.
For example, the foggy dog was flapping its wings and looking Kidd up and down, habitually trying to find stolen goods from him.
The eagle's claws streaked through the air, accurately grasped the foggy dog, and then passed through without any hindrance.
Although it did not cause any damage, the foggy dog was still thrown into the air and rolled twice. It was stunned, and the illusory feathers on its wings exploded in a circle. Watching the eagle spin around, let out a long chirp, and made another move.
Pounced here, the foggy dog closed its eyes tightly, flapped its wings quickly as if fleeing for its life, and rolled into Jiang Xia's arms with a grunting sound.
Jiang Xia subconsciously raised her hand and held down the ghost, which seemed to feel better than usual.
After regaining consciousness, he looked at it and was silent for a moment: What are you afraid of? Even if the eagle is bigger than you, has a more vicious attitude, and has claws and beak...but you are still a ghost.
...theoretically it cannot be pecked.
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, it is indeed impossible to peck it.
…
The ghosts were not harmed. Jiang Xia looked at the flapping eagle and prepared to hold Rua down to make up for the fright the ghosts had just received.
However, before the eagle swooped closer, another hand suddenly stretched out from the thorn and accurately grasped the eagle's wings.
