Conan’s Corpse Picker

As the Zhongsen Police Department said this, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Xia: In his impression, this detective who was well-received in the first investigation class usually wandered around the crime scene where Kidd was present.

But unlike when he encountered a murder case, when Jiang Xia helped them, he was basically checking in to visit the attractions - he didn't do any work when he came, just fishing. The Zhongsen Police Department even saw him sleeping on the sofa out of boredom. .

"..." If detectives were not considered voluntary labor for them, and Jiang Xia's legend resounded throughout the Metropolitan Police Department, making other police officers unable to help but have illusions about him catching Kidd, the Zhongshan Police Department would have removed him from Kidd. De was thrown out on the spot.

And this time, Jiang Xia came as expected.

…

The Zhongshan Police Department looked at this "Kidd limited edition salted fish" and couldn't help but murmured suspiciously: Could this kid Jiang Xia actually be on Kidd's side? For example, he thinks that the profession of Kaid is very handsome. , so he didn’t want to catch him—just like the guy next door to him who praised him every day.

Jiang Xia noticed the gaze of Zhongsen Police Department and looked back in confusion.

The Zhongsen Police Department met his innocent gaze and was silent for a moment: "..." However, in any case, compared to other detectives - such as the annoying British turtle, Jiang Xia at least did not cause trouble to the police, and his attitude was always gentle. . Apart from not working, there are no shortcomings.

And if there is a murder nearby, Jiang Xia can handle it quickly and will not leave the scene chaotic for too long, so that they can concentrate on Kidd in Search Section 2.

…

Maybe it was because the old policeman kept a straight face and stared at Jiang Xia for a little too long.

Several other high school students also vaguely noticed something unusual.

Suzuki Sonoko thought of the Nakamori Police Department's enthusiasm for "catching Kidd" and recalled Jiang Xia's paddling routine at Kidd's site, and vaguely felt that she understood something.

She took the initiative to change the topic, interrupting the thoughts of the Zhongsen Police Department, and made a random guess: "The sentence in the notice letter, 'The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th character', could it refer to the 12th character in the syllabary?" 12 letters ‘し’, which is four o’clock?”

The syllabary is something similar to phonetic symbols. It can be used to mark the pronunciation of Chinese characters. It is often written directly and used as characters. It can be regarded as the basic unit of Japanese sentences. Therefore, when the word "which character" is mentioned, they will inevitably think of this basic pronunciation immediately.

And associating the twelfth kana "し" with numbers, it is the "four" point.

Precisely because this method of solving puzzles is so common, the Zhongshan Police Department immediately denied it: "Impossible! Kidd would not solve such a simple puzzle."

Next to them, Yuan Shan and Ye also joined in the fun: "Is that English? The twelfth letter is 'L', three o'clock."

The Zhongsen Police Department was startled, then slapped his palms and suddenly realized: "Three o'clock...that's it!"

If it refers to three o'clock in the morning, it is indeed before dawn, which fits the time period of "from the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn" in the first sentence of the trailer.

Jiang Xia looked at him, a little curious about the police officer's brain circuit: "Isn't this the same principle as the fifty-sound chart just now? Why is it more difficult to switch to English?"

"?" Zhongsen Police Department looked at this guy who loved to paddle, and slapped the table, in line with the principle of doing what you do, "Then what do you mean!"

"..." Jiang Xia thought about the righteous classmate Kidd and his inexhaustible energy core like a leek, then slowly sat back on the sofa and said perfunctorily, "I think it refers to the 12th character in Japanese. .”

Suzuki Sonoko was startled. She didn't expect that she and Jiang Xia had the same idea. Her waist suddenly stiffened and she looked at the Zhongmori Police Department: "I said I guessed it right!"

Zhongsen Police Department snorted. Being disturbed like this, his already uncertain heart suddenly became even more uncertain. He muttered to himself: "It doesn't matter, anyway, there is only one hour between three o'clock and four o'clock. At worst, we can wait a little longer."

…

Whether it's three o'clock in the morning or four o'clock in the morning, there is still a long way to go.

It was really boring to wait for people at the Suzuki Art Museum which was not open.

So several high school students couldn't help but sneak out.

As soon as Yuan Shan and Ye went out, they first stretched out with great ambition, and then snapped out a guide: "Come on a trip! This is the area with the lowest crime rate in recent years that I specially found. With my amulet, there will be no problem this time!"

"..." Lingmu Yuanzi and Mao Lilan both looked suspiciously, obviously doubting this.

A few detectives didn't care where they were going - they were not afraid of murder, nor did they find it troublesome, and they were equally interested in traveling. If we really encounter a case, the worst case scenario is that it will be solved.

So they nodded indifferently and discussed Kidd's matter as they walked.

"I always feel that the police didn't get the code right, but there is no better solution for the time being." Conan thought of something and whispered to Hattori Heiji, "Why does Jiang Xia think the code is the fifty-syllable picture?"

Hattori Heiji also couldn't figure it out: "Maybe he was perfunctory with the police department. I heard that Jiang Xia never really arrested Kidd. Maybe he is not good at solving Kidd's crossword puzzles?"

Conan also once had the idea that "Jiang Xia is not good at solving word puzzles". At that time, he deliberately took Kidd's puzzle and strolled in front of Jiang Xia to challenge him. Thinking of this not-so-splendid history, he remained eerily silent for a moment.

After a moment, he shook his head: "I don't think that's the problem."

…

The two discussed it for a while, but came to no result.

So he turned around and looked at Jiang Xia, who was a few steps behind: If you want to know the answer, you just need to ask him.

However, soon, looking at their colleagues who were whispering something to Ura Siqinglan, Hattori Heiji and Conan looked away simultaneously without saying a word.

"……"never mind.

It was rare that something else attracted Jiang Xia's attention. At this time, it was better not to disturb him for the time being and enjoy the rare time to solve puzzles alone.

Although the time guessed by the police may not be accurate, one thing is certain - Kidd, the "moonlight magician", will definitely act after dark, and now, there is still some time before dark. It's not necessary to go to Jiang Xia.

In addition, in addition to the specific time of Kidd's appearance, there are other details that are of concern.

"Why did Kidd suddenly steal the Memory Egg?" Conan thought, "I remember that his main target was gems. When he stole other things, there were clear reasons. But now, the gem on the Memory Egg is glass. , I just checked the promotional page of the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art. Mr. Suzuki did not deliberately conceal this information. Kidd must have heard the news a long time ago. So there may be some story behind this 'Egg of Memory'..."
