Great Swordsman Ke Xue

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, special conference room for 100 people.

Most of the Metropolitan Police Department personnel were in place here to hold a special investigation meeting for Phantom Thief Kidd.

"Phantom Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Phantom Thief Kidd, committed a total of 134 crimes."

"Fifteen of them are abroad, covering 12 countries including the United States, France, and the United Kingdom."

"A total of 152 gemstones were stolen, with a total value of 38.725 billion yen."

One after another, police officers at the inspection ministerial level stood up to make reports.

Under the stage of the conference hall, there were two seats on the left and right. Sitting at the top of the left seat was Inspector Ochagi Shintaro from the Second Investigation Section. After everyone finished speaking, he stood up with a serious expression and picked up the microphone at the same time.

"This Kaitou Kidd has sent a warning letter a few days ago."

As he spoke, he pointed at the projection screen behind him.

[The lion at dusk until the maiden at dawn]

[The clock without second hand reaches the 12th word]

[Descent from the bright sky pavilion]

【I will accept the egg of memory】

——The magician at the end of the century, Kaitou Kidd

"The Egg of Memories mentioned above is the Tsar's secret treasure, the Emperor's Easter Egg."

"It was made by the gem maker Fabergé. From 1885 to 1916, there were a total of fifty, and the one discovered this time is the 51st."

"And this Emperor's Easter Egg will be on display at the upcoming Suzuki Museum of Art in Osaka Castle Park starting from the 23rd of this month!"

"Next, please ask the Nakamori Police Department to decipher Kaitou Kidd's code for us."

——

"A magician at the end of the century?!"

"Hey, Heiji, what are you talking about?"

After going to the hotel to put away their luggage, the group started touring Osaka without stopping, led by Hattori Heiji and Kazuha.

On the viewing platform on Tsutenkaku Tower, the group split into three waves.

Hattori Heiji and Conan had no intention of watching the scenery after they came up, or they had no other thoughts along the way and were just communicating intimately, leaving Kazuye and Xiaolan unable to get in but very curious.

Therefore, Conan's suddenly louder exclamation immediately attracted the attention of Kazuha, who was introducing Koji Shimizu, or Haibara Ai.

"Ah, no, it's nothing."

But Hattori Heiji made a fool out of it with a haha. Kazuha pouted and curled his lips, then continued to turn around and introduce Haibara Ai.

Haibara Ai was standing on a stool in front of a telescope, currently using the telescope to observe the scene of Osaka Castle. This was proposed by Kazuha, and Koji Shimizu carried her up. She herself really wanted to see it.

"That's the Osaka Gymnasium, that round, egg-like building."

He Ye was full of energy and stretched out his hand to express condolences for Haiyuan.

Shimizu Koji and Xiaolan also looked over. Only Mouri Kogoro took out a cigarette out of boredom and then put it back because he saw the fine notice on the wall and Xiaolan's scary eyes.

And even though Haibara Ai didn't pay much attention to many of her teasing remarks along the way, Kazuya was still chattering excitedly and explaining to them non-stop.

From time to time, he would make a "wow" sound and open his arms to make gestures.

So gradually, Haibara Ai and Qingmizu Koji were also somewhat influenced by her, and now they really entered the relaxed mood of traveling.

This is the first time for Kazuha to take friends from out of town to Tsutenkaku, but for the Mori family and Hattori, this is the second time.

Just because of the presence of Koji Shimizu and Ai Haibara this time, everyone decided unanimously to start from Tsutenkaku and spend two days exploring Osaka again.

"And over there, where there are many trees, is the Tennoji Zoo, which is the largest zoo in Osaka!"

"It is said that there may be a panda coming next month! But unfortunately we can't see it this time."

Haiyuan Ai turned the telescope and looked over in a dignified manner. He Ye also continued to look out enthusiastically with his feet up, his eyes scanning under the clear sky, and soon his eyes lit up again.

"By the way, there's also Osaka Castle Park. Have you seen it? The moat surrounding the main city and the Imperial Palace in Tokyo should not have such a thing now.

I almost forgot the most important thing just now. It’s so familiar that I can’t remember it. But we may not be able to go there until tomorrow. If we go there today—”

"Heiji, did you call the car?!"

Kazuha's sudden turn of the head, "Kadong Lion's Roar" startled Hattori Heiji, and also made Haibara Ai and Shimizu Kou both look away and glance at her.

This is not to blame for Kazuha's bad temper. It was actually Hattori Heiji who arranged for everyone to pick them up at the airport, but in the end he didn't explain it clearly to the policeman, and they left directly after sending him and Kazuha.

So, after leaving the airport, the few people who looked at each other in disbelief finally divided themselves into two groups and drove over. This made He Ye angry for a while. When he mentioned this, he was still angry.

"Uh-huh, Heye, what are you yelling at? Of course the car is here."

Hattori Heiji's face was always dark, so even if he had a dark face now, no one would notice.

After hearing her words, Mouri Kogoro, who had been silent all this time, immediately looked at him nervously, "I mean, it can't be a police car, right?"

"Ahem, uncle, how is it possible? Even I can't find you such a good car at any time, and last time..."

When he mentioned the last time, Hattori Heiji looked a little unhappy. The matter of Officer Sakata was still a thorn in his heart.

However, for people like the Mori family, Shimizu Koji, and Haibara Ai, they cannot empathize with him.

"Such a nice car."

Haiyuan Ai repeated lightly, obviously he couldn't help but want to complain.

But because there were too many people, she stopped in time, but at the same time, she attracted the attention of Koji Shimizu.

"Want to come down?"

Haihara Ai nodded, and Qingshui Koji skillfully reached out to her ribs, picked her up, and then gently placed her on the ground.

The whole process went smoothly, leaving He Ye and Xiaolan on the side looking a little dazed.

Although it was Koji Shimizu who carried Haihara Ai onto the stool just now, but for some reason, looking at the movements between them now, he felt a little different.

"Qingshui-kun, okay, so gentle."

"yes."

Heye sighed in a low voice, Xiaolan did not hide the surprise in her eyes, and nodded softly in agreement.

The exchange between the two of them made Haihara Ai turn his head and glance, but it did not attract the attention of Qingshui Koji.

Qingshui Koji hugged Haiyuan Ai and came down. He originally wanted to continue talking to Haiyuan Ai, but a sudden glance from the corner of his eye made him no longer calm in an instant.

Over there is——?

"jiangjiang~, this is Namba Hotai Shrine. By the way, Namba is another name for Osaka."

Kazuye stood in front of the gate of the shrine, explaining to a few people. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the stone beast statue at the door of the shrine.

This is a place that Mouri and his family have never been to last time, so everyone's sense of novelty is also very strong. Even Moori Kogoro looked up.

However, what no one noticed or cared about was that a black limousine with license plate Namba 88す46-00 slowly passed by them.

Then, it stopped not far in front of the shrine.
