Conan's Corpse Picker

After counting and counting, this cat is still the most useful.

And it can also drive directly into the building - in the past, even if the foggy dog ​​came to snatch it... Cough, to exchange the harvest with Kidd, it would only contact outside the building after Kidd succeeded in retreating.

This time, he was able to guard the scene, monitor the implementation status, and inspect the murderous status of the security personnel...

……

After a while.

In the coffee shop near the building, there was an extra handsome guy leaning on the back of a chair, looking up at the void, with unfocused eyes, who looked like he was thinking about life.

And at the entrance of the cafe, in the shadow behind the billboard.A cat shadow seemed to grow out of the shadows.

After a while, the white-pawed black cat raised its head humanly and looked around, as if observing.

Soon, it stepped on the curb and ran all the way to the building where the target exhibition hall was located.

……

in the building.

From the roof of the building to the porch outside the hall on the first floor... a large number of uniformed personnel are waiting.

The police were understaffed, and Nakamori Ginzo also seconded people from other places.Divide the subordinates into groups of five in advance, get familiar with the faces of the team members in advance, and set a secret code, and regularly scold each other's faces to prevent Kidd from getting involved.

Kidd's goal tonight is a statue of a two-person goddess.

More precisely, it was the bracelet with precious stones on the goddess's wrist.

At this time, in the exhibition hall where the goddess statue is located, the facilities that may be used for hiding have been emptied, leaving only the stone statue standing quietly in the middle of the exhibition hall.

Surrounded by a large number of policemen who have just been pulled in the face - all the passages leading to here are also stationed with the same density of people.

This posture seems to make the scalp tingle.But at this time, there is still some time before Kidd's announcement.As we all know, Kidd is very punctual, rarely releases pigeons, and shows up at what time he says.

So now, with everyone in the exhibition hall having their faces pinched, the atmosphere here is fairly relaxed.

……

Opposite the stone statue, a camera is facing here.

——This is one of the devices used for live broadcast tonight.

In the shot, a capable female reporter, holding a microphone with the logo of the Japanese TV station, turned sideways to show the statue of the goddess behind her and the policemen waiting in full force near the statue.

"Please look at this shocking formation!" After the reporter finished speaking in a vigorous tone, he moved the microphone to Nakamori Ginzo who was standing aside.

——Just now, Nakamori Ginzo, who was patrolling outside, chased in the direction Jiang Xia pointed for a while, but found nothing.

Nakamori Yinzo didn't suspect that Jiang Xia was lying to him, he just thought it was normal - Kidd would definitely not run in one direction in a daze, waiting to be caught.And although this place is not a busy city, there are quite a few people who came to watch the excitement after hearing the news.The crowd is Kidd's best cover. With his disguise level, if he puts on another face and sneaks into the crowd, it is almost impossible to find him again.

So Ginzo Nakamori didn't catch up with anyone, so he didn't look for any more and returned to the exhibition hall quickly.

——Peripheral inspections are just to cut off Kidd's retreat as much as possible.

And the venue for the decisive battle, of course, is still here - in this exhibition hall he carefully arranged.

Anyway, no matter where Kidd went, he would definitely come back here again.

……

At this time, there were only a few minutes left before Kidd's announcement.

After the female reporter greeted the camera, she turned to the Nakamori Police Department.She raised her hand to signal the goddess statue behind her, suggesting that the Nakamori police department briefly introduce the situation here: "Police department, this is the goddess statue that Kidd predicted to steal."

Nakamori Ginzo is proudly reviewing the police team he has arranged.

Suddenly being called to by a female reporter, he twitched the tips of his ears, and accurately caught the key words he cared about.

The Nakamori police department sneered: "Steal? Huh, Kidd don't even think about touching a finger of it! ——With our strict security here, let alone a person, not even a fly can fly in!"

The female reporter was about to nod in agreement.

However, at this moment, her eyes paused for a moment, and her eyes fell on the corner of the wall: "Well..."

—Beside the wall of black marble.A black cat with white paws was walking along the wall, quietly walking through the exhibition hall.

Most of its body has indeed successfully blended with the black background.But because the four cat's paws are snow-white, they were still caught by sharp-eyed people during the stroll.

The person in charge of the video, and Nakamori Ginzo, keenly caught the anomaly of the female reporter.

Several people followed her line of sight and looked over.

Almost at the same time, the passing cat seemed to notice something, and its graceful and silent steps paused slightly.

Jiang Xia was driving a cat vest, and when she turned her head, she found several pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

Among them, Nakamori Ginzo has the sharpest gaze.

Chapter 861 Where?look at residual value

Jiang Xia remembered the sentence from the Zhongsen Police Department just now, "Not even a fly can fly in".Immediately understood why he was staring at his cat vest.So he looked at Nakamori Ginzo with a look of anticipation—I don't know if the police will show a little murderous look when they become angry...

Unfortunately, there is still a difference between anger and murderous intent.

The Nakamori police department was stared at by the cat's eyes for a few seconds, and then looked at the camera that the cameraman was about to move over. He became furious, raised his hand and pointed at the innocent passing cat, and asked his subordinates: "Where is the cat? How do you guard it?" ! Throw it out for me!"

Jiang Xia: "..."

Tsk, that's not friendly.Why embarrass a handsome cat, he is not here to steal things, just passing by for a visit...

……

Catching a cat with bare hands is obviously not much easier than catching a strange thief with bare hands.Even if it's just a fake cat.

Before a group of policemen rushed over.Jiang Xia drove the cat vest and took off.It took advantage of several decorative protrusions on the wall one by one, and leaped into the narrow ventilation duct.

After standing still, Jiang Xia turned his head and looked down at the stupid cat catcher, leaving them with a deep back, and quickly disappeared into the pipe.

After a while, wait for the movement below to dissipate.

Jiang Xia drove the cat again and returned the same way.Then he lay on his stomach slightly inward of the pipe opening, pressed his conspicuous white paws under his body to hide, and looked at the lively exhibition hall with his head.

——Of course there is no lighting in the pipe. In this case, a black cat is lying in the narrow black shadow. As long as it does not move, it is not easy to spot.

However, some people still noticed the clues.

……

The female reporter in charge of hosting the live broadcast, after introducing the Nakamori Police Department and the Goddess Statue, quickly turned to another eye-catching point.

"The helper I'm going to introduce next is a high school student detective who just came back from London. I believe everyone must have heard of him." The reporter smiled and pointed to the side, "He is—the white horse...?"

When he raised his hand, he was gone.

The reporter stared at the statue behind him, which Kidd had targeted for theft, and was taken aback.

——In my impression, Tan Baima was squatting next to the goddess statue just now, checking something.However, at this time, there was nothing beside the stone statue, and there was no conspicuous mixed-race detective at all.

"..." The reporter searched carefully, only to find that at some point, Tan Baima had already walked to the corner, and he was looking up at something at this moment.

And the assistant that Detective White Horse always brought with him—the eagle named "Watson" by him was also staring in the same direction intently.A sharp light flashed in the eagle's small black bean-like eyes, and he flapped his furry wings excitedly.

The white horse leans upwards.

One person and one eagle are watching in the ventilation duct.

The black cloud treading snow cat lay on the mouth of the pipe, looked down at Baimatan, and then at Baimatan's eagle. Finally, his eyes fell on the eagle's wings, looking at the slightly blown fluffy feathers, the cat's claws unconsciously curled up For a moment, as if wanting to knead something.

After the white horse leaned forward, the reporter raised the microphone and approached carefully: "Mr. Baima?"

Baima overheard a lady talking to him, the gentleman lost his temper, and turned to look at the reporter.

His hawk "Watson" did not show a similar habit, still staring diagonally upwards, observing the cat hiding in the ventilation duct.It was ready to go, and was about to take off, but it was grabbed by the white horse Tan and hugged back to its original position.

Baima Tan knew exactly what his eagle wanted to do.

——[-]% of them are eyeing the cat, intending to catch the prey.

However, with the size of the pipe, the eagle might get stuck as soon as it goes in.

And the focus now is obviously not a cat that strayed into the exhibition hall, but the arrogant criminal in white—Kidd the Kaitou.

Just now, when the cat caused a commotion in the exhibition hall, and the Nakamori police department angrily called their subordinates to catch the cat, Detective Baima had actually arrived at the venue.

At that time, he was a bystander and observed carefully when a group of policemen were being tricked by cats—there were no collars or other places on the cats that could fix bugs, and there were no suspicious metal reflections.It should not be Kidd's accomplice, but a cat that passed by here and entered the building to keep warm.

In addition, the last time, after experiencing the incident in the Twilight Pavilion, the white horse detective realized that his "Watson" was not as sensible as he thought before——Watson sometimes got excited and ran to attack Innocent passers-by messed up the situation.You can't let it mess around all the time.

So now, Tan Baima didn't let go of the eagle's chain, and didn't pay any more attention to the cat that was lying comfortably in the ventilation duct, watching a show and eating melons.

He returned to the focus of the exhibition hall - next to the goddess statue, and began to patiently answer various questions raised by reporters.

When the reporter finally finished asking him and began to broadcast live in other places around him, Detective Baima also looked around with a low sense of presence, and began to do all kinds of things he thought were necessary.

……

At the same time, the police did not relax.

The Nakamori police department paced back and forth between the door and the window of the exhibition hall, while pressing the earphones, listening carefully to the reports from the subordinates who were constantly sending back:

"There is nothing unusual about the roof."

"There is no abnormality in Area A on the 11th floor."

"There is no abnormality in the pipeline on the 8th floor."

"..."

……

In the exhibition hall, in the air duct.

Below, the police and Detective Baima were busy.

Jiang Xia, who was watching, yawned silently, moved the cat's paw under her body, and gradually felt that the waiting time was a bit boring.

——When the Kaitou came on stage, it was really lively.

But the preparations in advance and the aftermath after the event were too boring for him, a melon eater.

And until now, Jiang Xia has not found anyone with murderous intent.

In other words, the chances of surprises coming here later on are not high... Kidd and Detective Baima are still a little behind in summoning murder cases, and it is more convenient to have Kudo-san on the scene Hattori Heiji is fine with this kind of derived harvest.

……Um?Speaking of which, I haven't seen that Osaka detective for a long time.I don't know if Hattori-san has received an invitation letter for a new serial murder case.
