Chapter 255 The Uncatchable Phantom Thief Kidd

A group of people gathered around the gift given to the queen by the Emperor of the Lufti dynasty and looked at it for a long time, exclaiming in surprise.

"But it's still very strange." Conan, relying on the fact that he was a child, lay down very close to the egg, "Kidd, the thief, used to steal gems, so why would he send a notice to a finely crafted handicraft this time? "

Suzuki Sonoko immediately cleared her throat proudly and said, "Don't you know this? In fact, a few days ago Kidd... Kidd announced that he would steal my most cherished things! So he broke the habit again with me. , it’s not something you can’t understand, right?”

Conan suddenly had half-moon eyes.

Hey, hey, hey, not only is he not nervous about being targeted by the Phantom Thief, but he is so narcissistic, is it really good?

"Hey." Mao Lilan noticed the shiny thing on the egg cover with sharp eyes, and she asked excitedly, "Is that a gem?"

Shiro Suzuki quickly clarified: "No, no, no, it's just glass."

"ah?"

"It's a gift from the emperor to the queen. Don't you think it's weird to use glass?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Suzuki Shiro could only say: "Because it was the fifty-first egg, and Russia was in financial crisis when it was made, so the emperor had to use glass instead."

Mouri Kogoro felt even more incredible now: "The whole egg is not inlaid with a single gem, but it can be sold for a sky-high price of 800 million?!"

Forgive him for never having seen so much money in his life, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Suzuki Sonoko chuckled: "Because it is an antique."

Hattori Heiji thought for a long time, then turned to look at Asano Nobushige, who had not participated in the discussion: "Do you have any thoughts on Kaitou Kidd's notice letter?"

"I think the police have uncovered the true content of Kaito Kidd's warning letter." Nobushige acted like he was an ordinary citizen and especially believed in the police.

It's not that he doesn't want to provide clues to these detectives. After all, the sooner things here are resolved, the sooner he can free up energy and time to deal with the organization's tasks.

That was the mayor of Osaka City. If he died in an assassination, it would be a huge blow to Osaka and even Japan as a whole. To be honest, the police don't know the organization's plan at all. Otherwise, not to mention that Kaitou Kidd would return something every time he steals it. Even if he doesn't return it, the police will never focus on the battle of wits with the thief.

Compared to Nobushige, Hattori Heiji's trust in the police is obviously not high. In other words, detectives in this world tend to analyze on their own rather than relying on existing answers.

He said seriously: "Does the glowing sky pavilion refer to Osaka Castle? But why does Osaka Castle shine?"

"Idiot!" Toyama Kazuha squinted his eyes and said with great disdain, "Mr. Taikaku, who built Osaka Castle, thinks that the development of Osaka is like the light of Osaka. Don't you understand this?"

"That's right!"

Suddenly, a strong voice came from the entrance of the president's office, and everyone looked over in shock. I saw Ochagi Jintaro and Nakamori Ginzo walking in aggressively.

All the police officers involved in this operation to capture Kaitou Kidd were determined to win. It has been so many times, and they have failed as many times as they have caught Kaitou Kidd. The voices of the people outside supporting Kaitou Kidd are getting louder and louder. In contrast, the police are suffering from terrible infamy.

While many people are following the Phantom Thief Prince of the Night to comfort their souls who still yearn for dreams and ideals, they are also complaining about the police, accusing them of not fulfilling their duty to protect the people. They are contradictory, and the police have already run out of options!

As Ochagi Jintaro walked, he said, "It's absolutely true that Kaitou Kid will appear in the castle tower of Osaka Castle!"

After hearing this, Xinfan yawned again in boredom.

Mouri Kogoro noticed something was wrong with his agent's state, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "What's the matter with you? You don't seem to be in a good state of mind these past two days."

Nobushige yawned sincerely, but he still replied rather embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I've been having a little insomnia recently. But I also think Manager Chamu's statement is a bit arbitrary. Kaitou Kidd's warning letter is really so easy to interpret. Open?"

He is trying to awaken everyone's respect and fear for Kaitou Kidd.

However... the effect is not very noticeable.

"Didn't that boy Hattori and his girlfriend make it very clear just now?" Mouri Kogoro glanced at Nobushige speechlessly, "You should listen to us carefully even if you haven't had a good rest!"

"I'm not his girlfriend!!"

"Who wants you to be my girlfriend?!"

Seeing Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha yelling because of such a description, Mao Lilan suddenly felt a little dazed. She seemed to see herself and Shinichi in the past. It turns out that they were like this before...

Nobuhiro nodded helplessly and replied: "Hey!"

It is actually impolite to use はい overlapping in Japanese, but for Nobushige now, Mouri Kogoro is sometimes not just an ordinary senior or plot character, he is more like a real elder. When facing close elders, etiquette is indispensable, but paying too much attention may be too rigid and alienating.

Compared with the known answers, Ochagi Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo are obviously more concerned about the secret code that they have not yet understood: "The clock without a second hand reaches the twelfth word. This has troubled us for a long time."

Nobuhiro was about to answer——

"It's three o'clock, right?" Mouri Kogoro suddenly said first.

Suddenly several other people cast their eyes over.

Hattori Heiji and Conan were the first to react, and they said in unison: "L!"

The two looked at each other. Hattori Heiji's eyes were obviously a little surprised, but at this moment he had no time to think about why a child could follow his train of thought.

"What do you mean?" Ochagi Jintaro was confused.

Hattori Heiji explained: "L ranks twelfth among the English letters, and this letter is really suitable to refer to time. L has two horizontal lines, the short one represents the hour hand, and the long one represents the minute hand. So L means..."

"Three o'clock sharp!"

Toyama Kazuye stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and said: "I was just thinking whether it would be the twelfth one in the fifty-sound chart, in which case it would be four o'clock. But now that I think about it, it's still Mr. Mori's That guess is more accurate, but using the fifty-syllable diagram would be too simple."

"What is guessing? It's reasoning, okay?" Mouri Kogoro laughed loudly, looking proud.

Nobushige glanced at him, wondering if he wanted to reveal the answer now. If the police could arrange it as soon as possible, maybe Kaitou Kidd would really be caught and brought to justice?

…

This possibility is basically zero.
