Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2436 2440 [FBI's priority list]

Jiang Xia glanced at Kidd: "..." I don't know if Shuichi Akai will be surprised to see his ex-girlfriend with a gun tonight. Will he be more colorless and murderous? In addition, I hope that the thief in front of him can be more flexible and not be caught by the FBI.

But it's not a big problem. Even if Kidd is careless for a while, the righteous psychic will take action.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia recalled the wandering cat, ready to switch to this other convenient body.

It's never too much to put more insurance. Thinking of this, Jiang Xia touched his sleeves again, took out an anesthesia suit and handed it to Kidd: "Take this."

Kid looked at the pile of anesthetic needles, anesthetic drugs, and anesthetic smoke bombs, and his eyes were a little complicated: "How do you have this kind of thing... and Jiang Xia gave it to you?"

Jiang Xia thought about it and felt that since the items had passed through his hands, then this statement could not be considered wrong, so he nodded.

"It's true... Is that guy really a detective? He actually carries this kind of thing with him." Kidd didn't reach out to take it, but muttered and pulled open one side of his coat, showing it modestly, "No, I have one too." And the variety is more complete than the detective's!

Jiang Xia lowered his head and glanced at his anesthesia equipment, his eyes paused slightly on a tranquilizer gun: "..." Wait, why are the same props provided by Dr. Agasa, yours looks more advanced?

Kidd followed his gaze and realized something belatedly, hiding the tranquilizer gun as if nothing had happened: "Well, time is almost up, I have to go first."

Without waiting for Mist Tengu to speak, he turned around and ran, rushing into the crowd at a high speed.

Jiang Xia: "..." Why are you walking so fast? I didn't rob you. And I already have guns, two, although I'm just borrowing them temporarily...

He looked at the back of the stingy thief and shook his head in condemnation.

In any case, a gun handover ceremony with ulterior motives ended so hastily.

Kidd ran across the street and looked back. He saw the fog dog flying silently in the dark alley and blending back into the night.

"... Really good." Kidd looked at the flexible wings with envy. In contrast, he couldn't help showing a little disgust when he thought of the compressed glider hidden behind his back.

However, wings can't grow as long as you want. In the end, the thief who relies on technology can only face reality. He was forced to give up his desire for real wings and turned around and walked into the building.

After wandering around in the bathroom, when he came out again, the high school student Kuroba Kaito had transformed into a 40-year-old, neat and capable middle-aged police officer.

"Inspector Nakamori" adjusted the tie on his neck, showed the temperament of a police officer, and strode towards the door.

...

On the other side.

In the direction where Kidd was moving, a tall figure with a knitted hat appeared.

Akai Shuichi adjusted the mask on his face, passed the door and retreated, his eyes fell on a young girl in the crowd.

Shuichi Akai: "..." Isn't this the high school girl who has a good relationship with Jiang Xia? She went out alone so late, and she dressed up and had a new hairstyle... What is she doing here?

"Having a good relationship with Jiang Xia means that she is also likely to be under the gaze of that person." Shuichi Akai weighed the pros and cons for a moment, and finally did not go far, but chose to wander around "Mauri Ran":

"My identity this time is a bait, responsible for luring those sneaky black-clad people around, so that my colleagues can seize the opportunity to catch them. In this way, my actions will sooner or later be exposed to the gaze of Usa.

"By the way, what role does Miss Maori, who appeared nearby late at night, play in this script?"

The FBI ace began to try to think about the problem from the perspective of the scriptwriter: "According to common sense, I will habitually avoid her actions, just like avoiding Usa's eyes. And once I do this, I will also lose control of the whereabouts of Miss Maori, an important chess piece.

"The story is developing secretly in a place I can't see, and I will be like an actor who is forced to retreat backstage but doesn't get the full script - when I am forced to step onto the center stage next time, the situation has already changed."

"... This won't work." Akai Shuichi analyzed the most favorable development at the moment, and his eyes gradually looked at the nearby "Mouri Ran". "On the contrary, I should include this chess piece in my vision and take the initiative to grasp the relevant changes.

"The worst result of following her is that she will be involved in some sudden cases like the previous times. I don't carry any lethal weapons with me now, and I will not take the initiative to commit murder. For me, the danger of these cases is far less. As for other sudden dangers, I am also confident that I can avoid them. "

After weighing it for a while, Shuichi Akai made a decision.

He walked to the window next to him naturally, looked at the goods through the window, occasionally glanced at the reflective part, and secretly observed the movements of the girl nearby.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged man coming over and stopped next to "Mouri Ran".

The two people said a few words very familiarly, and then "Mouri Ran" took the middle-aged man's arm, and the two went upstairs together.

Shuiichi Akai: "......?"

The age difference between the two sides is enough to make a father and daughter. But as far as he knows, Mouri Ran's father is clearly Mouri Kogoro, not the middle-aged man with a crew cut in front of him.

…Ms. Maori went out late at night to date such a person?

Was that person her uncle, uncle… or some outlaw who had set his sights on a high school girl?

If it was the latter…

Akai Shuichi was silent for a while, and his ability to judge people was slightly shaken: he had always felt that Maori Ran was somewhat similar to his deceased girlfriend, Miyano Akemi, so he had mixed feelings for this girl who was used by Usa. But he didn't expect that now…

“Psychological warfare.” Akai Shuichi is worthy of being the ace of the FBI, and he has seen a lot. He quickly calmed down again, “It must be the psychological warfare prepared by ‘that person’. By the way, in order to make me unstable, Usa actually manipulated a high school girl to do this kind of thing… He is much worse than I thought.”

Seeing the two people leave together, Akai Shuichi followed them as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, he sent a message to his colleagues who were scattered nearby:

[Check the middle-aged man with a mustache next to Ms. Maori.

Focus on the investigation. He may be a useful breakthrough. ]
