Corpse collector in Conan

Kidd chose to appear after 0:00 on April 1st.

The police and Conan were on guard on the roof of the building, but failed to arrest anyone and only picked up Kidd's second invitation.

That night, Jiang Xia went to bed early and did not go to the Abedo Hotel to join in the fun.

However, some enthusiastic police officer told the media about his interpretation of the notice letter. Soon, there was another report about Jiang Xia in the newspapers.

Jiang Xia held the newspaper in one hand and played with scissors in the other. He hesitated for a moment on half of the page, and finally cut it out and pasted it into the collection. Minus the half that describes Kidd, of course.

It was at this time that Jiang Xia suddenly discovered that Kidd, as an international-level Phantom Thief, had another wonderful use - he could be used to gain popularity.

As he appears in newspapers more and more often, one day he will receive an invitation to pick up ghosts from afar...

…

However, Jiang Xia waited expectantly day after day. The invitation letter to solve the case was not received, but the date announced by Kidd in the second notice letter came.

——In the second notice letter, Kidd did not write those complicated riddles, but wrote straightforwardly: [On April 19th, I will go to Queen Celisabeth to retrieve the Dark Star]

April 19th happens to be the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki Foundation. The Suzuki family will invite celebrities from all walks of life to hold a grand sea party on the cruise ship.

Suzuki Sonoko invited Jiang Xia as usual.

Jiang Xia walked around the boat and received a bunch of business cards. At first, he just passed by the crowd, but where he passed, several middle-aged women stopped him, handed over the business cards, and asked for them. He gave his contact information and kindly said that he planned to introduce him to jobs.

When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately found his business card and returned it. Afterwards, when the people next to him saw this scene, they followed suit and came over to exchange without knowing why. Every time they exchanged cards, Jiang Xia had a handful of small cards on her body.

He walked to the corner, took out the business card and looked at it, and then he was surprised to find that there were many familiar names on it. Jiang Xia searched his memory and gradually matched the names of these people with cases that had not yet happened - each one may represent a ghost in the future.

Being invited to board the ship today was really the wisest decision he had made recently.

Jiang Xia happily put the business card into the box, feeling much more energetic than before.

Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan saw everything in their eyes and were also very pleased - Jiang Xia must have felt the value of his existence because he was surrounded by so many people for consultation. Although he doesn't look enthusiastic, he is actually very helpful!

Conan didn't feel that much. He had been busy observing the people around him. When Kidd steals treasures, he likes to disguise himself as someone else, then pretend to be that person and blend in with the crowd, approaching the target without anyone noticing.

So in Conan's eyes, anyone but himself could be Kidd pretending to be him. In line with the principle of giving priority to preventing backstabbing, Conan first tested Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, and found that these two people were still original products, so he set his sights on Jiang Xia.

In Conan's view, the possibility that Jiang Xia is a fake is actually low - if Kidd wants to pretend to be someone, in order to avoid being a gangster, he must ensure that when he appears, the person being impersonated will not appear at the same time as him. .

To do this, you need to control the actions of the person being played, such as tying the person unconscious in a corner - this was also Kidd's most common method in the past.

And Jiang Xia...

Conan recalled the scene in which he used an anesthetic needle to target Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia immediately held the stick in his pocket and swung it secretly as if he could read his mind, and gave him a faint look... It might be a bit difficult for Kidd to replace Jiang Xia.

Later, after seeing the enthusiastic attitude of the aunts on the ship towards Jiang Xia, Conan completely gave up the suspicion - no need to think about it, this must be the real thing.

…

After the boat sailed for a while, the Suzuki family began to deliver speeches. Later, Suzuki Sonoko's trouble-loving mother got a lot of black pearls that looked exactly like the "Dark Star". She gave one to everyone and arrogantly declared war on Kidd, convinced that Kidd could not find and steal the real thing.

Jiang Xia also received one.

He lowered his head and looked at the fake in his hand, and then at the real one that Suzuki Sonoko's mother had pinned to her chest.

The one worn by Mrs. Suzuki is the only genuine one here. But in Jiang Xia's eyes, strictly speaking, this large group of pearls are all the same - they all have no energy core.

He completely lost interest in this case, poured a glass of dark red grape juice into the goblet in front of him, then held it like red wine, and walked around the crowd again, intending to see if there was any Business cards that slipped through the cracks.

…

Kidd has indeed gotten on board.

He was so talented and so bold that he directly pretended to be the chairman of the Suzuki Group and even gave an impromptu speech under the chairman's guise.

Not long after that, someone contacted the real Suzuki chairman. The police cordoned off the banquet hall in shock.

Kidd had slipped away long before that. When Conan rushed out of the banquet hall and Mao Lilan chased Conan, he found an opportunity to stun the unsuspecting Mao Lilan and pretended to be her.

Jiang Xia saw Conan pulling Mao Lilan from a distance. He remembered that Kidd's next target seemed to be Mao Lilan, and he originally planned to stop him.

But before that, Jiang Xia wandered to the most crowded place in order to collect business cards. By the time he passed through the crowd, the two classmates had already disappeared.

If the person targeting Mao Lilan was a brutal murderer, Jiang Xia would definitely drive a puppet and follow him out to take a look.

But now, the one who is targeting her is Kidd, a pacifist... Jiang Xia looked at the policeman who was blocking the door of the banquet hall a few seconds later, refilled his glass, and returned to the crowd.

…

Not long after, Conan and "Mao Lilan" returned to the banquet hall one after another.

At this time, Mao Lilan was already an impostor - Kidd had investigated her relevant information in advance before disguising herself as her.

Kidd came to the banquet hall under Mao Lilan's skin, looked around, and stopped for a moment on Mrs. Suzuki and Jiang Xia.

The reason for looking at Mrs. Suzuki is because Kidd guessed the location of the real dark star.

Looking at Jiang Xia, he was just a little curious - when he was looking through his related reports in the newspaper, he had also read about Jiang Xia, a detective who solved crimes like a cheat.

I just don’t know if Jiang Xia is only good at murder cases, or if she is also good at other things...

Kidd remembered that Mao Lilan was Jiang Xia's classmate, and originally wanted to use this identity to go over and test it out.

However, as soon as he took a step toward Jiang Xia, he saw the detective who was counting business cards with his head down suddenly raised his head and glanced at him. Then Jiang Xia showed a slightly strange look in his eyes, looking him up and down like X-rays.
