In the afternoon, Chiba came to the astronomical telescope again - Honda They seem to have completed the final adjustments, so they are resting in the room now, so there is no one here for the time being, which is suitable for Chiba to continue the previous observations.

He had indeed found some of the traps that Suzuki Jiroyoshi had set up here before, but it was debatable whether some of them were traps, so Chiba had borrowed a small telescope from the crew this time - if there were small telescopes, it would have been confirmed that there were abnormal pixels in the inexplicable color on the lighting window of the glass case before - whether it was just a subtle optical problem or something strange there.

At the moment when the elevator door opened, Qian Yu noticed that someone was standing in front of the glass case, looking at the jewels inside the glass case.

It seems to be wearing a staff uniform - judging by the standing posture, it looks like the same staff member he saw yesterday guarding Mori Kogoro and Jiroyoshi Suzuki after they got drunk?

If it really was that person, how could he be here? His colleagues should be preparing afternoon tea right now, right?

With some doubts, Qian Yu walked over to the glass counter.

Just as Chiba walked over there, the man turned around - the recognition function of the auxiliary unit immediately told Chiba that it was not the same staff member he had seen yesterday, nor was it the staff member he had seen before.

"Hello, little friend." The staff member smiled and looked at him.

"Are you a staff member?" Qian Yu asked curiously. "I don't think I saw you before?"

"That's right, little brother." The staff came to Qianyu and squatted down. "I'm the bartender on this airship, and I work at the bar, so if you haven't been there, you haven't seen me!"

"Then brother, what are you doing here?" Qian Yu nodded noncommittally.

"This big jewel over here," the staff member gestured to the glass case behind him. "Such a beautiful jewel, you must take a good look at it!"

"Hmm......" Qianyu's gaze flickered for a moment, and then re-met the staff's gaze. Well, that jewelry looks good, right? ”

"That's right," the staff member touched Chiha's head with his left arm, which was pointing to the glass case. "Alright, it's time for me to go back to work, you can continue to watch here!"

With that, the staff stood up and prepared to leave.

At the moment when the staff got up, Qian Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed.

The staff didn't seem to notice this at all, and after taking a few steps forward, they realized that it seemed that Chiba had been standing in place, so they looked back with some curiosity.

As if hearing the staff stop, Chiba also turned around and looked at him.

The Traceless Umbrella was pulled out of the backpack by Chiba and unfolded, entering battle mode.

"Who are you?" Qian Yu asked in a deep voice.

"Me?" The staff member was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile. "I'm a bartender!"

"I'll excuse you, but have we seen each other somewhere?" Qian Yu asked. "For example, did you pick up a little girl when we were on the airship and get injured because of it?"

"Huh?" The staff's expressions were rather stunned. "Little friend...... Are you mistaken? I've always worked as a bartender, so I don't think I've met you before! ”

"Oh, really?" Chiba's expression was rather sarcastic. "Well, let me remind you of one thing - look at your left arm, the scar on your left elbow to be exact."

"Oh?" The staff's surprised expression this time seemed to be different from before, and he immediately looked at his left elbow rather seriously.

A short, solidified wound appeared in the spot, with a few short scabs on it that seemed to have just healed.

"How...... What's wrong? The staff looked at Chiba with an inexplicable expression.

"Don't you feel familiar with that wound?" Qian Yu asked rhetorically. "If the dividing section of the upper and lower arms is used as the original plane, the angle between this wound and the incision is 79 degrees and the length is 3.7 centimeters, which is the same angle and length as the previous wound on the elbow of the service worker who injured himself when he was helping Qi Mei."

"Uh......" The staff really showed a surprised expression at this moment. Kids, you're ......."

"Tell me, who are you?" Qian Yu said coldly. "By the way, have you ever noticed that you have a language fetish? If I'm not mistaken, you played the waitress who took care of Kogoro Mori and Mr. Jiroyoshi Suzuki alone yesterday, right? The three of you seem to have a strange way of ending your speech - only the three of you on the airship have this way of closing the tail note, and the others don't have this strange way of closing the end of the voice. ”

What's more, because Qianyu always felt that the waiter yesterday was a little strange, so he specially used the auxiliary unit to record the basic information of the waiter.

His gait is exactly the same as this man's! Whether it is the body of the walking, the center of gravity, the movement pattern, or the swing angle of the legs, it is almost exactly the same as the person in front of it now!

The "......" staff was silent, and this silence made Chiba confirm his thoughts and prepare for battle.

"Your Excellency, don't you think you should say something?" Chiba aimed the crossbow bolt at the staff. "I guess you're the thief Kidd, right? Other than that, there shouldn't be any people here who want to think about disguise or anything like that. ”

"Who are you?" The corners of the staff's mouth suddenly rose slightly and asked. "I mean your name."

"Does it matter?" Qian Yu frowned slightly.

"Look at what you say," smiled the staff—or rather, Kidd the Strange Thief. "If you'd like me to call you a kid, that's fine."

"Whatever." Qian Yu said in a deep voice.

"Aren't you going to call someone?" Kidd asked.

"No," Qian Yu shook her head. "If I arrest you, I'll be enough."

"Are you so confident?" Kidd the Strange Thief raised an eyebrow. "If you don't call the police, are you sure you'll be able to catch me alone?"

"I think there should be, at least I have the confidence." Qian Yu said lightly.

At this moment, Kidd the Strange Thief seemed to have noticed something, and looked behind him with some surprise.

Thousand Feathers knew exactly what Kidd was looking at - because he had actually made it up.

Not far behind Kidd, the numbers on the elevator floor display screen were rising.

"Did you call someone?" Kidd the Strange Thief looked at Chiba with a complicated expression. "When did you ......"

"Guess," Chiba tilted her head. "Maybe I just called Uncle Jirochi after you walked past me and let them hear all the conversations between us?"

Of course, if that's the case, Kidd the Monster Thief probably heard the sound of pressing the phone's keyboard just now. Chiba adopted a more stealthy way, which was absolutely impossible for Kidd the Monster Thief to detect.

After all, the auxiliary unit has the function of simulating a mobile phone signal, so in this case it is quite easy to send a text message with the auxiliary unit to simulate your own mobile phone, isn't it?
