In any case, it seems that now is not the time to think about the dating environment of foggy dogs.
Kidd's mind quickly returned to business. He took a deep breath and walked out: Today's monster brother seems to be quite reliable, at least he is not interested in the taste of human flesh. In this case, let's leave Aoko to him for the time being.
.As for himself... he had to go and meet the suspicious guy who was following them first.
…
in the corridor.
Akai Shuichi, who suddenly lost track of the person and was about to go to the bathroom, paused for a moment and fell on the female high school student who came out again.
"Who are you?" Before he could escape, the female high school student walked over, "I just saw you on the first floor, and you followed me all the way here. What do you want to do?"
——According to Jiang Xia's friendly supplementary information, this sneaky knitted hat doesn't seem to be the same group of people who sent him the notice letter.
Having said this, there is no need for the detective to remind him of the next thing. Kidd also knows in his heart: since these two people do not seem to be good people, it is just right to invite them to join the game, and it is best to have a wonderful dog-eat-dog scene.
Therefore, although the tracking behavior of this suspicious knitted hat was revealed, Kidd's tone was neither harsh nor serious, but rather a bit playful, as if a lively female high school student was scolding the other person and providing a means of communication and explanation.
Chance.
Next to him, an innocently passing cat on the dark clouds and snow was so excited by this tone that he froze and shuddered.
Jiang Xia, who had just changed into a cat puppet: "..." When it comes to playing the role of a girl, Kidd indeed has his own unique insights... But when he thought about this cute appearance and even cuter tone, he was actually a male high school student.
It makes your toes go numb.
Ahead, Akai Shuichi received the inexplicable meaning of peace talks exuded by "Nakamori Aoko". He was silent for a moment, as if trying to figure out the other party's intentions.
After a moment, he half-truthfully said: "I'm not following, just dropping by - I received an invitation letter, asking me to come to the top of this tower at midnight tonight. This letter is very baffling to me,"
"Invitation?" Kidd, "What kind of invitation?"
Akai Shuichi looked at her, and with a bit of temptation, he read out the message from Uzo word for word: "'I will seal your treasure in a spotless pile on Saturday night when the moon comes late.
above the head'."
Kidd, who originally just asked casually: "?!"
…Isn’t this what was written in the notice letter he received? It’s exactly the same word for word!
Kidd: "..." So why can the knitted hat in front of me say this? Could it be that those guys lurking in the dark are not just targeting me, the Phantom Thief, but are sending them in groups?
...Can something as important as a preview letter be distributed in bulk? It makes no sense. This is simply an insult to the Phantom Thieves industry!
A vein popped out of Kidd's forehead, and he had a vague feeling of being despised.
He took a slow breath and tried hard not to let his expression change: "In that case, let's go up and take a look together."
…
The two people, who had their own hidden agendas, went upstairs one after another.
Half a minute after they left, a black cat with only four white claws jumped out from the corner, quietly planning to follow.
However, as soon as he took a step, Dark Clouds and Snow Cat suddenly noticed something. He paused in his steps and turned his head to look behind him.
Behind him, a man in black who was also the stalker was startled by the sudden appearance of the cat and took two steps back.
The two sides looked at each other, and the boy in black muttered in shame: "Where did the black cat come from? It's really bad luck!"
"...?" Jiang Xia lowered her head and looked at the four snow-white cat claws under her body: How could the Dark Clouds and Snow Cat be confused with an ordinary black cat? Are you color blind?
After hesitating for a moment, the fake cat finally ignored this human who lacked murderous intent and taste. He moved towards the source of murderous intent in front of him and chased after it.
The boy in black was stunned on the spot, but he didn't expect that he was actually ignored by a cat. He wanted to chase after him to regain the situation, but he felt that it was a bit embarrassing to argue with a cat.
While he was struggling, a voice suddenly came from the earphones. The boss in black probably noticed that his signal light spot had stopped in place, so he asked: "What happened?"
"No, it's nothing!" The boy in black came back to his senses and quickly threw the cat aside, giving himself an excuse to be distracted. "I was worried that they would notice me if I got too close, so I walked slowly on purpose.
Just keep your distance.”
The boss in black was a little dissatisfied, but not harsh: obviously, the one-sided beating not long ago left a deep impression on him, which forced him to re-examine the abilities of his younger brothers and arrange the following follow-up carefully.
Be cautious.
He said: "Judging from the transmitter on the girl, they have already boarded the elevator. Hurry over there."
"Yes!" The younger brother didn't dare to neglect and quickly followed.
A little further away, the boss in black hung up the walkie-talkie, stared at the signal point on the screen and frowned, looking a little confused: "Speaking of which, why did the female high school student get here so quickly? She didn't need to take notes.
Really? I thought she would be late."
Behind him, the guy with glasses pushed up his broken glasses and calmly remembered something: "When we met her by chance before, her signal point showed that it was somewhere else. I think there might be something fishy about it."
The boss in black waved his hand impatiently: "What's wrong? Our transmitter is installed on the hairpin, not on her. This cunning woman must have put the hairpin elsewhere in order to confuse us.
, so there was a deviation between the signal and her location - later she met us by chance and realized that the plan failed, so she put on the hairpin again, trying to make us think that the location where the hairpin was located was not her location, but I saw through it...
…Hmph, you can actually match me in strategy, you are worthy of being Kaitou Kidd.”
Glasses boy: "..." Really, is this really the case?
Suddenly, the monitoring screen on the laptop moved.
"!" The boss in black immediately came back to his senses, stopped paying attention to his stupid little brother, and looked down at the screen.
On the screen, the surveillance reflected the circular exhibition hall on the top floor. At this time, the elevator door slid open silently, and two figures walked out one after another.
"Here we go, Kidd has finally stepped onto the stage that I carefully prepared for him." The boss in black sneered and was about to give a speech. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Nakamori Aoko is quite good at it."
It’s normal, but Zhongsen Police Department…did he look like this before?”
