The white horse detective was hit by an eagle that failed to take off, and his wings were smeared and his hair was stained all over.
After being startled for a moment, he hurriedly hugged Watson, who had failed to take off and was currently struggling to find a foothold.
Then he looked at the eagle in surprise, then followed the eagle's gaze to Jiang Xia, and frowned in confusion: Why is Watson so excited today? Could it be that he heard "Kid" in his words, and Watson thought it was some kind of attack?
command, so he rushed towards Kidd?
...However, Hakuba thought that when he captured Kidd, he rarely took Watson with him. He never did this kind of training. It is impossible for Watson to awaken the skills against the Phantom Thieves on his own.
...or is it that the young man in black hides something else that attracts eagles, such as a unique smell like the smell of blood?
…
Jiang Xia glanced at the flapping eagle calmly, then looked away without caring.
Then he secretly glanced at the foggy dog that An An was holding on his hand, living like a fluffy glove.
And after looking at the lively mermaid who found that the eagle was tied up, he was swimming left and right and began to amuse the eagle.
"..." Why are you bullying someone? He has a fluffy eagle, which is quite cute. If the mermaid makes him angry and bald, he will never find a chance to become bald in the future...
The eagle opposite suddenly shivered.
The white horse stroked it and smoothed its fur.
At the same time, looking at Watson's head moving around, I found that it was no longer just staring at Kurosawa, but occasionally looked elsewhere, with its eyes wandering randomly.
"?" After a moment of confusion, Baima Tan began to think about other reasons.
——For example, Watson's strange behavior today has nothing to do with Kurosawa. It's just because he got sick and his mental state became strange, or... there is something hidden in this annex that will excite the eagle.
thing?
While Baima Tan was busy treating the eagle.
Others are also thinking about what happened to the organizer just now.
——Based on Kidd’s usual behavior, it’s really hard to imagine that he would do something like this.
Although the "Phantom Son Abandoned by God" on the invitation letter can indeed be related to "Kid", but now it seems that someone may have sent the invitation letter in order to recruit detectives and pretended to be the sought-after Phantom Thief.
Therefore, now everyone is more curious about the hidden host than the treasure - not only does this person use a "dummy" to represent himself at the dinner, he has never had any contact with the maid and attaches great importance to hiding his identity.
... As soon as I thought about the maid, the door of the restaurant was knocked twice by the person involved.
The maid gently opened the door, then returned to the dining cart she had pushed, and began to serve the dishes to the guests.
…
Jiang Xia looked at the fragrant food in front of him and sniffed it calmly, but could not smell it. Although the puppets looked and felt the same as humans, their internal structures were different. The food and water would be kept as they were.
In the body. In other words, eating is not only tasteless, but also easy to leave traces when the puppet disappears.
"..." Facing a table of sumptuous meals, Jiang Xia sighed inwardly.
Then he silently moved the soup closer to himself.
Although you can explain your hunger strike behavior by saying "you have no appetite after coming to the haunted house". But in this situation, not eating anything will look very strange, and it is easy to be immediately targeted as the mastermind behind the scenes... Just pretend to drink some soup
Okay, you can put the soup bowl to your mouth and pretend to drink it, but you don’t actually drink it. The meal will not have such a perfunctory effect.
Next to him, Toru Amuro looked at his hands playing with the soup bowl and questioned directly:
"The organizer just said that this is the 'Last Supper'... It feels very unlucky to say this just at the beginning of the game. The food must not be poisoned."
Opposite me, the fat food detective laughed:
"What are you afraid of? I made all these meals myself, and of course the ingredients have been carefully washed."
Baima Tan held the eagle looking into the air with one hand, and with the other hand he took off the eagle feathers that were stained by fluttering on his face. He looked a little confused.
However, he still has the temperament of a young master, and he is also listening carefully to what others are saying: "Even if you prepare the food yourself, the tableware is placed here in advance. It is better to wipe it first before eating, which is safer."
Granny Qianjian doesn't seem to care much about this, and her whole person exudes a Buddhist aura that can live as long as she wants.
She turned her head sideways, glanced at Jiang Xia's movement of slowly moving the soup bowl, and pushed her own bowl over. She felt an inexplicable sense of compassion for someone who was about to die: "If you don't have an appetite for other meals, I will
I’ll give you the bowl too.”
Jiang Xia: "..." No. Don't increase the puppet's weight any more.
However, he nodded first, took it politely, and put it next to him... Anyway, no one saw whether he had really finished the drink.
…
The puppet cannot feel hungry, but the humans next to it cannot.
They had traveled all the way here, and by now, they were all very hungry.
Considering that they would only have the strength to reason after they were full, and since the organizer wanted them to hunt for treasures, they would not be poisonous from the start, so a group of people wiped the tableware at hand and began to eat.
…
The meal was finished quickly.
Until the end, no one fell to the ground due to poisoning. Everyone gradually felt relieved.
After a while, Granny Qianjian, the slowest eater, also finished her meal and wiped her mouth.
At this time, the organizer's gloomy voice sounded again:
"Are you satisfied with the dinner? So, let's get back to the topic - you must be very curious as to why I want to use this expensive annex as a stage for games.
"About this...first of all, please take a closer look at the tableware placed in your hands."
Jiang Xia put down the almost untouched soup bowl and picked up the table knife on the side.
On the handle of the knife, there is a circular family emblem printed on it. On it is a stupid crow with a big head and belly and a twisted shape. It looks funny but also a bit gloomy.
"..."
If I remember correctly, this should be the boss's family emblem.
It’s so tasteless, but something like the family emblem, which has been around for a long time, should have been designed by the ancestors of the Karasuma family. I hope the current boss’s aesthetics can improve...
Thinking about it, Jiang Xia glanced at Toru Amuro. She didn't know if the police found out that the boss was a member of the Karasuma family...
There was nothing unusual about Toru Amuro's expression, and there was no murderous look on his body. He was holding the teacup at hand and looking at the bottom - the clan emblem engraved there was the largest and clearest.
Suddenly aware of the gaze from the side, he put down the cup and looked back in confusion.
Jiang Xia calmly withdrew his gaze: It seems not yet...
…
The plastic "host" with a smooth head paused for a moment to give the guests time to look at the family emblem.
Then he said: "This is the emblem of the Karasuma family. You must have heard of Karasuma Renye - the rich man who died mysteriously half a century ago."
