Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 268 Why can the foggy dog ​​enter the bar

   Although the goatee and the middle-pointed man are robbers, after ten years of washing their hands in a golden pot, both their fighting ability and mentality have degenerated a lot.

  Jiang Xia managed to knock down the murderous aura before the owner and An Shitou went downstairs.

   He handed the watch he found to his hapless granddaughter.

   At this time, the gems on the watch have dimmed a little without knowing it - there is also a little energy nucleus in the watch, after all, these gems are essentially stolen goods.

  Amuro glanced at the watch, vaguely feeling that the luster was not right.

   But when I got the watch just now, the room was pitch black, and only a strong flashlight shone on the jewelry. And now, Jiang Xia has turned on the light in the study, the light changes, the luster changes, and it's normal...

  Cao Nakamura thanked them, then dug out a landline from the utility room.

   She is a mystery novelist and has long planned to move to this villa to find inspiration. She has also brought her luggage and paid various fees in advance. It's just that the procrastination is too strong, and the luggage has not been unpacked.

   After calling the police, the police arrived quickly and received two robbers who were still awake.

   Nakamura Masao handed over the jewelry watch to the police. For her, this villa full of puzzles is more alluring than jewelry from the wrong way.

  …

   A group of people finally rubbed the police car and returned to downtown Tokyo.

When    etc. finished dealing with the robber group and left the police station, it was already dark.

  Amuro asked someone to go to the suburbs to tow him a car, but he got another car to drive, and he didn't know which owner was responsible for reimbursement.

   Jiang Xia didn't rub against his car anymore. According to the "Observation Notes on Detective Habits - Toru Amuro" in his heart, once he entered the urban area of ​​Tokyo, Toru Amuro's ability to attract cases would plummet.

   And in the past few days, there have been two incidents around him... It's almost time for the boss to rest and build up energy for the next outing.

   Dr. A Li heard about this and drove his little Beetle to pick up Jiang Xia and the two fake children home.

  …

   Jiang Xia originally thought that today would end so peacefully.

   However, when passing through a busy street, Wutengu seemed to notice something.

  It slammed the window, looked out for a while, and flew out to make a circle.

  When the car stopped at a nearby red light intersection, Wutengo happily got back into the car and seemed to have found something.

  It poked Jiang Xia and brought back good news-it saw Kidd nearby.

   said and swallowed.

   As soon as the other ghosts heard this name, their eyes lit up, similar to the reaction of the foggy tengu.

  The energy core is also a precious tonic. For ghosts who have tasted it, now they have quenched their thirst like a plum. When they see Kid, they start to crave the energy core reflexively.

  Jiangxia also came to the spirit.

   He glanced back at the place he had just passed, and remembered the location. Let Mist Tengu elaborate.

  …

   At this time, Kidd was waiting with Terai in a nearby alley.

   Not long after, a high school girl in casual clothes trotted to them.

   This is Nakamori Aoko, Kidd's childhood sweetheart. Her father's name is Nakamori Ginzo - the unlucky police officer of the Second Division who chases Kidd every day.

   Of course, the Nakamori father and daughter do not currently know Kidd's true identity. If he knew, he would probably join forces to knock his head off first.

  …

  In the alley, Kidd saw Nakamori Aoko running close, looked at her clothes, and sighed: "You can't enter the bar in this way."

Next to   , Grandpa Terai reminded him rigorously: "Master, it's not a bar, it's a billiards club."

   Kidd waved his hand indifferently: "That's what it means anyway."

   Today's affairs are actually private affairs.

  ——When Terai was young, he was a master of billiards in this area. He once had a precious pool cue, inlaid with countless diamonds and emeralds, only for the king.

   "Once there", because decades ago, that pool cue was won by another billiard club called America. The owner of the house came prepared at that time, not only brought a subordinate with superb billiard skills, but also secretly moved his hands and feet on Terai's shell powder.

   After countless years, Grandpa Terai recalled this incident. Although he was not angry, he could only be willing to admit defeat.

   But the idea of ​​​​the thief is not so legitimate - Kidd felt that a club that was won by others' tricks could be won back by tricks.

  So a few days ago, Kidd sent a notice letter to the boss of the American Department to steal that king club.

  Tonight, Kidd plans to sneak into the pool hall with his original face and create chaos.

  …

  America is nominally a billiards club, but it has bars and gambling establishments... In short, in theory, it refuses admission to 17-year-old high school students like Kidd and Nakamori Aoko.

   But the rules are one thing, and the enforcement is another—this kind of store, the less careful the owner, the more relaxed the management is usually.

   Ten minutes later, Kidd and Nakamori Aoko successfully infiltrated America and sat in front of the bar.

   Kidd sat up like a serious adult, glanced over the various drink lists, and opened his mouth to ask for a chocolate double-ball ice cream.

   Grandpa Terai sat next to him, sweating frantically against the suspicious eyes of the bartender, and hurriedly ordered a cocktail for Nakamori Aoko, trying to remedy it.

   When desserts and drinks came up, Kidd caught a glimpse of a person entering the door and walking towards him.

   Kidd glanced over at random and was startled.

  The visitor is tall, dressed in a simple kimono, with a dark and narrow package behind him, big on the top and small on the bottom.

  …Misty Tengu.

  ——This monster found a piece of cloth from somewhere and covered its wings.

  ... He is quite skilled, and he actually knows how to infiltrate human society as naturally as possible.

  ...No, that's not the point, the point is why did it suddenly appear here?

   Kidd glanced at Misttengu, then glanced at Nakamori Aoko beside him, suddenly thought of something, and froze slightly.

   - Judging from the information he inquired about, the police have gradually noticed the existence of the fog tengu. Of course, in their eyes, the fog tengu is currently just an ordinary human with black special gliders on his back.

   Kidd usually haunts at night, so the fog tengu that came to rob him mostly appears at night, and the fog tengu seems to consciously avoid lights and cameras. In short, most of the people who have witnessed it rely on the naked eye.

   Under the dark night sky, the same dark wings of the fog tengu are not so obvious, and the features and appearance of its clothes are also blurred. So it's pretty safe for now.

  ... But Kidd always felt that, if this trend continues, sooner or later, the police will see the whole picture of Misttengu clearly, and misunderstand Misttengu as Kid's accomplice or something...

   That is to say, if now, the fog tengu suddenly became acquainted with him, this scene was seen by Nakamori Aoko again...
