Conan’s Corpse Picker

When Kuroba Kaito heard Jiang Xia's plan, he was silent for a moment: "..." Aren't you afraid that after chasing after you, Kiriten Dog's true nature will awaken, and he will pack you up and hang them on the branches?

But speaking of it, the monster brother would actually obey this detective's plan and come here to act as his Plan B... It's suspicious, it's really suspicious!

Kuroba Kaito: "..." By the way, there is also the black panther who opened his mouth when facing him last time and looked fawning when facing Jiang Xia... Could this guy Jiang Xia actually be something? Something like an evil spirit mage can control innocent monsters... I'll ask Kiritengu next time.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that judging from Jiang Xia's current attitude, he does not seem to be such a crazy person.

…

Seeing that time is getting tighter and tighter, I can't continue to think about it.

Kuroba Kaito reluctantly let the door open.

At the same time, he glanced at Jiang Xia and said hesitantly: "Well, thank you for your help tonight...but don't do anything weird to Qingzi."

Jiang Xia's steps froze slightly.

Kuroba Kaidou caught a glimpse of it with sharp eyes, and after being startled for a moment, he was suddenly shocked: "...What do you want to do??"

Jiang Xia has returned to normal, and the pause just now seems to be just an illusion.

He raised his hand and patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder: "I just suddenly thought of something else - okay, you're too nervous. Don't worry and do your job, I'm not a bad person."

Kuroba Kaito: "...?" Really? He didn't believe it.

But it's too late if you don't believe it.

——At this time, perhaps because they had delayed too long, the door outside was knocked twice, and Nakamori Aoko's hesitant voice came: "Kaito?"

"I'm going out first, someone called me." Jiang Xia walked past Kuroba Kaito and walked out of the door.

... He really didn't want to do anything. He just noticed that Mori Aoko and Mao Lilan looked so similar, and couldn't help but want to take her to a crowded place to see if anything exciting would happen.

"That's right." Before leaving the house, Jiang Xia thought of something and turned back, returning Kiritengu's mobile phone to Kuroba Kaito.

Then he took Kidd's cell phone over and said, "Let's exchange it to prevent the secret from being exposed."

…

Nakamori Aoko knocked on the door and saw "Kuroba Kaito" walking out. She breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, no one ran away.

As the time got closer to the "eight o'clock" predicted by the Phantom Thief, she couldn't help but become more and more vigilant.

In order to completely separate "Kuroba Kaito" and "Kaitou Kid", Nakamori Aoko thought for a moment and looked at the cinema.

——She originally planned to go to the cinema with Kuroba Kaito at close to eight o'clock in the evening to watch a movie in a space where it was difficult to leave. For this reason, she also specially prepared handcuffs to handcuff them when the time came. Get up and add extra insurance.

But what happened in the haunted house just now made Nakamori Aoko hesitate.

——So what if everyone in the cinema is sitting still and it is difficult to leave?

Kidd was good at causing chaos. Wouldn't it be very bad if he caused some "accident" in the movie theater and took the opportunity to separate from her.

As for the handcuffs... Think about it carefully, the Phantom Thief can even quickly pick the complicated locks on the display cabinets. Unless he keeps staring, can the handcuffs really keep him?

Moreover, in such a dark environment of the cinema, even if there is another person next to you, it is difficult to detect if you are not paying attention... In short, it is too unsafe!

Nakamori Aoko touched her chin and thought seriously: Dad is a criminal policeman after all, and he must provide enough evidence to convince him.

With this thought in mind, she turned to look at "Kuroba Kaito" next to her, and said with a smile: "There are too many people at night, it's a bit boring, why don't we go for a walk by the river."

Jiang Xia glanced at the crowded amusement park and then thought about the deserted riverside. She didn't move her feet and didn't want to leave.

"Go, go." Nakamori Aoko noticed his reluctance and became even more alert. She hugged "Kuroba Kaito"'s arm and pulled him away without any explanation.

Jiang Xia watched the crowd getting further and further away from her, and sighed sadly: That was a mistake. If it were Mao Lilan, she would prefer places with more people.

"..." Could it be that Nakamori Aoko and Mori-san just have similar looks and don't have the innate intuition to get to the center of the case?

…

Although he was a little disappointed with the result, since he said he would help before, Jiang Xia had no choice but to continue playing Kuroba Kaito and went to the river with Nakamori Aoko.

When I reached the place, my wrist suddenly felt cold.

Jiang Xia: "..." This familiar feeling...

He looked down, and before he could see clearly, he heard another "click".

——Nakamori Aoko took out a pair of handcuffs from her cute handbag and cuffed the two people together tightly.

"Sorry, let's just go shopping like this tonight." Nakamori Aoko smiled and looked a little happy.

When she arrived at the river just now, she looked at her watch and found that it was almost 7:50.

——If Kuroba Kaito is really Kidd, and he wants to get to the exhibition hall where the "Angel's Crown" is displayed before eight o'clock in the evening, then he should leave now at the latest.

And currently it seems...

Nakamori Aoko glanced at the person next to her and breathed a sigh of relief: At present, it seems that he has no intention of running away.

Nakamori Aoko: "..." Although her behavior tonight was a bit strange, a smart person like Kaito must have guessed what she wanted to verify. Instead of being secretive and making him unhappy while failing to achieve your goal, it is better to show your attitude directly, so that you can at least do one of the things well.

She secretly clenched her fists in her heart, hoping that everything would go well tonight and let her father see clearly that "Kuroba Kaito" was just Kuroba Kaito, not "Kaitou Kid".

Just as he was thinking about it, his feet suddenly stumbled. Nakamori Aoko let out an "Ah!" and fell to the ground unexpectedly.

Then Jiang Xia lifted him up and put him aside.

The handcuffs connecting two people are very convenient at times like this.

"What...?" Nakamori Aoko's wrist was a little painful from being strangled. She helped Jiang Xia stumble to stand still and looked back in confusion.

Just then Jiang Xia took out a small flashlight and turned it on to illuminate the ground.

The beam of light illuminated the grass behind them. In the grass, a man was lying on the ground. The man was wearing dirty and tattered clothes and looked familiar. Even after being kicked by Nakamori Aoko, he didn't move, he just lay there stiffly.

Nakamori Aoko had rarely seen this kind of scene, so she didn't react at once, only instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

She looked at the homeless man on the ground with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, are you okay...Why are you sleeping in a place like this?"

Next to him, "Kuroba Kaito" glanced at her and squatted down to check out the person's condition.
