Chapter 13451353 [Kid without conscience]
Conan and Hattori Heiji were stunned when they heard this.
When they mentioned the failed deduction just now, their attention was drawn to it, and they repeated Jiang Xia's words unconsciously: "Digression?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Why does it have to be 7:20? Isn't 8:20 OK?"
"!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji understood something at once, looked down at their watches, and suddenly realized that it was already 8:10: "...Why didn't you say so earlier!!"
Looking only at the sentence on the preview letter, it is actually difficult to determine what exactly it refers to - in addition to the twelfth word on the paper, there may be other complex solutions.
Therefore, just now, after the flash of inspiration, Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so sure about the answer they got in their hearts. After all, detectives should always be skeptical of everything. Then the two ran to Tsutenkaku and really didn't see Kid, and they immediately felt that they had guessed wrong.
But now, Jiang Xia's reference answer actually said this...
Could it be that Kidd will really appear in Tsutenkaku, but one hour later than they expected?
...Cunning Kidd! If I had known, I would have waited a little longer!
…
The top of the castle tower.
Kidd checked the time and chuckled to himself, "It's time for the show to begin."
He suddenly snapped his fingers in a cool manner.
At the same time, the other hand quietly pressed the switch in a not-so-handsome manner.
The next second, countless fireworks rose into the sky around the castle tower in the distance and exploded brilliantly, like a festival.
——The castle tower of Osaka Castle was the place that the police and detectives initially identified as "Kid's appearance location." Although it seemed peaceful, there were actually many police officers hiding in the building.
Suddenly they heard the sound of fireworks exploding. They hid in their hiding spot, looking at the fireworks outside the window, wondering: "Kid, is he trying to use the fireworks to attract our attention, and then sneak into the building during the chaos?... Ha, so naive!"
…
When the police were on alert.
In a high-end restaurant nearby.
Since the police took over all matters concerning Kidd, Shiro Suzuki was free.
He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it comfortably. Suddenly, he turned his head and saw the fireworks outside. He curled his eyes in joy: "There is a festival in Osaka today? The quality of these fireworks is really good. I should have gone over to join in the fun earlier."
But if you calculate the distance, by the time he gets there, the fireworks may have already been set off.
So after a moment, Shiro Suzuki looked down at the food and wine in front of him, but he didn't go over and continued eating.
…
You can also see fireworks in the distance at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.
Three high school girls heard the noise, came out of the small family bar, and went to the front of the building to admire it.
Suzuki Sonoko brought an extra cup of hot coffee and passed it to Jiang Xia as she passed the door: "Have a cup, you'll be energetic until tomorrow!" Although drinking coffee at night can easily cause insomnia, today she has to stay up late to catch Kid, so insomnia is just right.
Mao Lilan also came over with another cup of coffee. She looked up and saw the scene outside. She was a little surprised: "What a luxurious fireworks display! Osaka is really generous in holding festivals."
Yuanshan and Ye raised their heads proudly.
After a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused again, and quietly touched his chin: "Wait, I didn't hear that there was a festival today, and such a luxurious festival... Is there something wrong?"
…
Everyone who saw the fireworks enjoyed it.
But in the distance, in a hidden building.
Inspector Nakamori, however, did not feel the slightest bit of appreciation.
He sat at the table, staring at the egg worth 800 million on the table, with a serious face, and couldn't help laughing from time to time: Although the showdown has not officially started yet, the miserable scene of Kidd returning empty-handed after the police drastically changed their combat strategy this time has emerged in his mind.
Inspector Nakamori: "..." Although the ultimate goal is to catch Kid, we have to eat one bite at a time and take one step at a time - in short, we have to achieve a small phased goal first so that Kid can't steal anything from the police.
Once this is achieved, will it be long before we catch him?
Next to them, two loyal subordinates chosen by Inspector Nakamori were a little worried.
They saw the fireworks going off at the castle tower, the police-approved location for Kid's appearance, and couldn't figure out Kid's intentions. Seeing that Inspector Nakamori had no reaction, they had no choice but to warn him: "Inspector, there are a lot of fireworks going off in the direction of Osaka Castle!"
"Why are you panicking? That's not Kidd. Kidd is always on time." Inspector Nakamori said calmly and confidently, "Since the notice said he will appear at three or four in the morning, he won't appear earlier - and, even if it's him, so what? There are no eggs he wants in Osaka Castle, hahahahaha!"
…
The time determined by Inspector Nakamori is obviously different from that determined by several detectives.
I just heard from Jiang Xia that Kidd will appear at 8:20, and then I saw fireworks being set off from Osaka Castle.
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Did I make a mistake? His appearance location is not Tsutenkaku, which is used to forecast the weather, but Osaka Castle, which was initially speculated by the police?"
…Not only did I guess the time wrong, I even failed to guess the location of the inspiration. It was really frustrating to think about it.
Conan usually lives in Tokyo and deals more with Kidd. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, maybe when Kidd wrote the notice, he had already thought that this could mislead us - he wrote it this way on purpose."
Jiang Xia nodded: "He is indeed a very flexible and adaptable thief." And he can also abandon his conscience when necessary...
After finding out that he was right, Hattori Heiji immediately regained his composure. He checked the time and said, "It's too late to go to Tsutenkaku to catch him. Let's ambush him here."
At this time, Secretary Nishino had just finished talking to the mixed-race lady and was leading her people to the reception room.
Jiang Xia stopped him and asked meaningfully, "Which room is the Egg of Memory in? Kidd's appearance may be earlier than we previously estimated. He may be here soon."
Secretary Nishino was startled and a little embarrassed: Logically speaking, this is a secret between the police and the boss...
Just then a few girls heard it, and Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand and said, "Just tell me, it's okay, it's lost, it's not your responsibility."
Since even she said so, Secretary Nishino had no choice but to compromise.
He looked around, avoiding the two guests, and whispered to the high school students, "In the afternoon, Inspector Nakamori took the 'Egg of Memories' away. He said it would be safer this way."
"Took him away?" The two detectives were stunned. "Took him back to the police station?"
The secretary shook his head and brought some bad news: "No, he hid it in a place that only he knew."
