Conan’s Corpse Picker

Conan and Hattori Heiji were startled when they heard this.

Mentioning the failed reasoning just now, their attention was indeed attracted, and they unconsciously repeated Jiang Xia's words: "It's diverged?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "Why does it have to be seven-twenty? Isn't eight-twenty okay?"

"!"

Conan and Hattori Heiji understood something immediately. They looked down at their watches and suddenly realized that it was already eight-ten: "...Why didn't you tell me earlier!!"

Just looking at the sentence on the notice letter, it is actually difficult to determine what point it refers to-in addition to the twelfth text on the paper, it may also be other complicated solutions.

Therefore, after a flash of inspiration just now, Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so sure about the answer deep down in their hearts. After all, detectives should always be suspicious of everything. Then the two of them ran to Tongten Pavilion to take a look. They really didn't see Kidd, and they suddenly felt that they had guessed wrong.

But now, Jiang Xia's reference answer actually said this...

Could it be that Kidd would really appear at Tsutenkaku, just an hour later than they expected?

...Cunning Kidd! If I had known earlier, I would have waited a little longer!

…

The top of the castle tower.

Kidd looked at the time and smiled to himself: "It's time for the show to start."

He suddenly made a handsome snap of his fingers.

At the same time, the other hand quietly pressed the switch, not so handsomely.

The next second, around the castle tower in the distance, countless fireworks rose into the sky in the blink of an eye, exploding brilliantly, like a festival.

——The castle tower of Osaka Castle is exactly where the police and detectives initially identified it as "the place where Kidd appeared." The place seemed peaceful at this time, but in fact there was a dense police ambush inside the building.

Suddenly they heard the sound of fireworks exploding. They hid in their hiding spot and looked at the fireworks outside the window. They couldn't help but wonder: "Kidd, does he want the fireworks to attract our attention, and then sneak into the building during the chaos?... Ha, naive!”

…

While the police were on alert.

In a high-end restaurant nearby.

Since the police took over everything about Kidd, Suzuki Shiro was happy and at ease.

He poured a small glass of wine and drank it comfortably. Suddenly he turned his head and saw the fireworks outside. He rolled his eyes happily: "There is actually a festival in Osaka today? The quality of the fireworks is really good. I would have known if I had gone there to join in the fun."

But calculating the distance, by the time he passes, the fireworks may have been set off.

So after a while, Suzuki Shiro lowered his head and looked at the food and wine in front of him. He still didn't go through it and continued to eat.

…

In the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art, you can also see fireworks in the distance.

The three female high school students heard the commotion and walked out of the small family bar to the front of the building to admire it.

Suzuki Sonoko brought an extra cup of hot coffee, passed by the door, and handed it to Jiang Xia: "Have a cup to ensure that you are energetic until tomorrow!" Although drinking coffee at night can easily cause insomnia, today he has to stay up late to catch Kidd, so insomnia is perfect.

Mao Lilan also came over with another cup of coffee. She raised her head to see the scene outside, and was a little surprised: "What gorgeous fireworks. Osaka is so generous to hold a festival."

Yuan Shan and Ye raised their heads proudly.

After a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and quietly touched his chin: "Wait a minute, I didn't hear that there is a festival today. It is such a luxurious festival... Is there something wrong?"

…

Everyone who sees the fireworks enjoys it.

But far away, in a hidden building.

However, the Zhongsen Police Department showed no appreciation at all.

He sat at the table, staring closely at the 800 million eggs on the table, with a serious expression on his face, and he couldn't help but chuckle from time to time: Although the duel had not officially begun, he had already imagined in his mind the drastic changes in the police's operations this time. After the strategy, Kidd returned empty-handed.

Zhongshan Police Department: "..." Although the ultimate goal is to catch Kidd, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be walked step by step. In short, a small stage goal must be achieved first so that Kidd cannot steal it from the police. thing.

Once this is achieved, will it still be far away from catching him?

Next to them, two loyal subordinates selected by the Zhongsen Police Department were a little worried.

They saw the fireworks set off at the castle tower, the "police-certified location where Kidd appeared", and couldn't figure out Kidd's path. They also saw no response from the Nakamori Police Department, so they had no choice but to issue a reminder: "Police Department, there are fireworks going off in the direction of Osaka Castle. Lots of fireworks!”

"Why are you panicking? That's not Kidd. Kidd is always on time when he comes on stage." Zhongsen Police Department said calmly and confidently, "Since the notice stated that he will appear at three or four o'clock in the morning, it will never be earlier. ——And, what if it’s him? There’s no egg he wants in Osaka City, hahahahaha!”

…

The time determined by the Zhongsen Police Department is obviously different from that determined by several detectives.

I just heard from Jiang Xia that Kidd would appear at 8:20, and then I saw fireworks set off in Osaka Castle.

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be startled: "Did I make a mistake? The place where he appeared was not Tsutenkaku where the weather was forecast, but Osaka Castle as originally guessed by the police?"

... Even if I guessed the time wrong, I couldn't even guess the location where I had the flash of inspiration. It's really frustrating to think about it.

Conan usually lives in Tokyo and interacts more with Kidd. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, maybe Kidd already thought that it could mislead us when he wrote the notice letter - he did it on purpose. It’s written like this.”

Jiang Xia nodded: "That is indeed a very flexible and adaptable Phantom Thief." And he can also abandon his conscience when necessary...

Realizing that he had guessed correctly, Hattori Heiji immediately became cautious again. He looked at the time: "It's too late to go to Tongten Pavilion to catch him, let's ambush here."

At this time, Secretary Nishino happened to have reached an agreement with the mixed-race lady and was leading people to the living room.

Jiang Xia stopped him and asked meaningfully: "Which room is the Egg of Memories in? - The time when Kidd appears may be earlier than we previously speculated. He may be coming soon."

Secretary Nishino was startled and a little embarrassed: Logically speaking, this is a secret between the police and the boss...

A few girls happened to hear it, and Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "Just tell me, it's okay. If you lose it, just lose it. It's not your responsibility."

Even she said so, Secretary Nishino had no choice but to compromise.

He looked around, avoided the two guests, and whispered to the high school students: "In the afternoon, the Zhongmori Police Department took away the 'Memory Egg'. He said it would be safer this way."

"Took him away?" The two detectives were stunned upon hearing this, "Took him back to the police station?"

The secretary shook his head and brought a very bad news: "No, it is hidden somewhere that only he knows."
