Chapter 115 Phantom Thief Kidd’s Preview Letter
Mao Lilan pointed to the glittering inlays on the upper half of the eggshell and asked, "Are these gemstones?"
Shiro Suzuki shook his head: "No, it's just ordinary glass."
Conan was puzzled: "Isn't this a treasure given by the emperor to the queen? Why is it made of glass?"
Shiro Suzuki thought for a moment and said, "It is said that when this egg was made, Russia was in financial crisis, so they didn't have the financial capacity, so they used glass instead."
"This is strange. Doesn't Kidd only steal gems? Why would he be interested in an egg inlaid with glass?" Conan was puzzled.
Maori Kogoro got angry and wanted to hit Conan out of habit, but he found that Conan was sitting a little far away, so he had to give up and cursed: "Idiot, this is worth 800 million, I guess that thief was attracted by this!"
Conan rolled his eyes helplessly.
Although the detective and the thief are indeed in a hostile relationship, he will not deny that the other party is not an ordinary thief. Judging from his previous behavior, he was obviously targeting various gems.
Could it be that this Easter egg hides some secret?
"I'm more concerned about Kid's notice than this egg," Hattori Heiji said, stroking his chin, "'Glowing Sky Tower', why does Osaka Castle glow?"
Toyama Kazuha always spared no effort to attack Hattori Heiji, and immediately said: "Stupid, that's because Mr. Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, believed that the development of Osaka was like the Osaka Light, do you understand?"
Is this really the case? Hattori Heiji doesn't believe it's that simple.
"That's right!" came a rough voice.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Chaki Shintaro, the management officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division, and he was accompanied by Nakamori Ginzo.
"It's absolutely true that Kidd will appear in the castle tower of Osaka Castle. But..." Chaki Shintaro walked up to the crowd with a menacing look.
"Regarding the sentence 'the clock without a second hand reached the 12th number', we have not yet deciphered the sentence representing the time of the crime." Nakamori Ginzo said with a frown.
Everyone immediately started talking.
Yuya looked at the paper in his hand, which contained the notice from Kidd:
"The lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn
The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word
Descending from the glowing tower in the sky
Collect the Egg of Memories
"The Magician Kaito Kidd at the End of the Century"
The above is Kidd’s notice letter.
Youye thought about it. The first two sentences, "From the dusk of the lion to the dawn of the girl" means the last day of Leo - the dusk of August 8, until the dawn of the first day of Virgo, which is before the dawn of August 22. There should be no problem in interpreting this sentence.
Then comes the next sentence, "The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th number."
A clock without a second hand should use the hour hand and minute hand to indicate time.
The 12th character... Yuya's eyes fell on the first line. If this line of characters was written in kana, then the twelfth character would be the last one, which is "へ", which happens to be the shape of the hour hand and minute hand. In this case, the time when Kidd arrived would be :.
Finally, there is the place where he appeared, "The Glowing Sky Loft". Yuya couldn't figure it out. He was not familiar with Osaka and couldn't tell where it referred to.
I glanced at Hattori Heiji, who was still frowning in thought, and obviously had not cracked the code yet.
Miyano Shiho came over and asked quietly, "Did you crack the code?"
Yuya nodded and whispered in her ear, "I've already cracked the first few sentences. Kidd should appear at 8:22 pm on August . I just can't tell the location. I'm not familiar with Osaka, so I don't know where the glowing sky tower is. But it shouldn't be the castle tower of Osaka Castle."
Miyano Shiho couldn't help but shrink her neck. The hot breath that Yuya exhaled when he spoke blew on her ears, making them itchy.
The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened that night and continued to get along as normally as before.
However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the slightly intimate interactions between the two of them are more frequent than before.
Just like whispering in someone's ear now, it happened occasionally before but never this close - the lips would almost reach the ear.
Yuya was quite satisfied with this.
Just like eating food, people should also eat one bite at a time!
They have so much time that there is no rush.
And after that night, You finally understood that Miyano Shiho only looked cold on the outside, but she was still a girl after all and could also be shy.
Simply put, it is an iceberg with relatively fragile defense. As long as you find the right point, you can easily break through.
On the other hand, Chaki Shintaro felt that Mori Kogoro's guess should be correct. The twelfth letter L is 3 a.m., which is before dawn.
"Yoshi, I will definitely catch you this time, Kaito Kid!" Nakamori Ginzo shouted with full momentum.
······
After saying goodbye to Shiro Suzuki, the young men decided to stroll around Osaka Castle to kill time before Kidd arrived.
There were not many tourists at the shrine because it was not a holiday.
It is said that the fortune sticks here are very accurate, and several people each drew one.
Yuya came close to Miyano Shiho and looked around: "What did Miss Shiho draw?"
Miyano Shiho spread out the lottery paper nonchalantly, and Youya took a look at it. "Xiaoji, there's nothing particularly noteworthy in it."
"What about you?" Miyano Shiho asked as she put away the fortune slip.
Yuya smiled, "Just like you, my luck is average."
Miyano Shiho said "oh" lightly, and turned to look at Mao Lilan. There was a lot of noise over there, and she could vaguely hear Suzuki Sonoko shouting something: "Did you meet Shinichi secretly? What did you do? Why does it say so on the signature?"
Mao Lilan argued with a red face.
Conan looked at the fortune in his hand in silence.
This shrine... seems to be really something?
Yuya looked at Conan strangely. What the hell did you two do that night? I really care about this!!!
Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets: "Okay, now the question is, how do we kill the time before three in the morning? Do you want to go eat something delicious?"
He waited for a while but no one responded.
Hattori Heiji looked back in confusion and found Conan holding his chin in deep thought, while Yuya and Miyano Shiho were looking at the wishing well on the other side.
Hattori Heiji scratched his head and said, "He Ye, can you please take care of them?"
Yuanshan Heye looked at him suspiciously: "What about you, Heiji?"
Hattori Heiji squatted down, pressed Conan's shoulder and said: "I'm responsible for greeting them."
Mao Lilan was a little reluctant: "Why? Let's go together!"
Hattori Heiji said: "Boys should act with boys, right, kkk Conan?"
Conan nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
He warned Hattori Heiji with a sullen face: "Change it quickly!"
Hattori Heiji showed a wicked smile: "Why don't you change your arrogant tone? Do you believe I will expose you?"
Conan laughed disdainfully: "Ran already knows."
Hattori Heiji was stunned: "What did you say?"
Conan lowered his eyes: "We'll talk about this later."
Yuya looked at Miyano Shiho: "Where are we going to play?"
Miyano Shiho was a little confused: "Aren't you with them?"
Yuya spread his hands indifferently: "What's the point of being with two idiots? Why don't we go for a walk?"
Miyano Shiho was somewhat tempted.
Hattori Heiji ran over, hooked his arm around Yuya's neck and pulled him away: "Let's go, let's let the girls go play!"
"Let me go!" Youye struggled hard. What's the fun in being with two stinky men? He wanted to be with Miss Shiho!
Miyano Shiho chuckled, turned and walked towards Mouri Ran and the others.
