Chapter 303 The magician at the end of the century
Metropolitan Police Conference Room
Kaitou Kidd Special Investigation Conference
"Phantom Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Phantom Thief Kid, has committed 134 crimes in total."
"15 of them are abroad, in the United States, France, Germany, etc., covering 12 countries."
"A total of 152 gems were stolen, and the total amount stolen reached 38.725 billion yen."
After the police officers under his command finished telling the information about Kaitou Kidd, the commander-in-chief Ochagi Jintaro said with a serious expression: "Kitd sent another warning letter yesterday. Everyone.
Please look at the projection screen."
I saw an enlarged notice letter on the projection screen, which read:
"Lion at dusk, maiden at dawn
A clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word
Descend from the bright sky loft
Receive the Egg of Memories
The magician of the end of the century
Kaitou Kidd!”
Shintaro Ochagi explained: "The egg of memories mentioned in the notice letter was discovered in the Suzuki Zaibatsu's treasure house last month. It is the secret treasure of the Czar, which is the Easter Egg of the Emperor."
Following Ochagi Jintaro's introduction, the notice on the projection screen also changed into a green metal egg pattern.
"This treasure of the Emperor's Easter Egg was given to the Empress by the Russian Emperor on Easter, and was made by the gemmaker Faberuge.
From 1885 to 1961, only fifty were produced in total, and this one is the fifty-first and the most precious one.
This treasure of the Emperor's Easter Egg will be on display at the Suzuki Museum of Art in Osaka Castle Park, which will open soon, starting from August 23."
After Ochagi Jintaro briefly introduced the origin of the treasure, he pointed to Nakamori Ginzo beside him and said: "As for the code content on the notice letter, Officer Nakamori will explain it to everyone next."
"yes!"
Nakamori Ginzo straightened his collar, walked to the projection screen and said: "First of all, from the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn, the lion and girl in this sentence should represent Leo and Virgo respectively.
The corresponding time for Leo is from July 23rd to August 22nd, while the corresponding time for Virgo is from August 23rd to September 22nd.
Therefore, the lion at dusk represents the last day of Leo, which is the dusk on August 22, and the maiden at dawn should refer to the period until dawn on August 23.
As for the sentence "The clock without a second hand reaches the 12th word", I think it refers to the specific time when Kaito Kidd committed the crime. Unfortunately, I haven't deciphered the meaning of this sentence yet.
As for "descending from the bright sky loft", the sky loft should refer to the Osaka Castle Castle Tower, which is where Kaito Kid is going to appear.
All in all, between the dusk of August 22nd and the dawn of August 23rd, Kaito Kidd will appear at the Osaka Castle Castle to seize the Emperor’s Easter Egg.”
"Pa bang bang..."
After hearing Ginzo Nakamori's well-founded analysis, the police officers present gave him warm applause.
As expected of Kaitou Kidd’s old rival, Officer Nakamori deciphered Kaitou Kidd’s secret code so quickly. It seems that he can really catch the jewel thief this time.
"Ahem!"
Ochagi Jintaro coughed twice, allowing the conference room to regain silence, and then said with a serious face: "This time we will work with the Osaka City Police Department to handle the case, and at the request of Mr. Suzuki, we specially invited a famous detective
Kogoro Mori participated in the investigation."
stare--
Looking in the direction of Ochagi Jintaro's finger, everyone present focused their attention on Mouri Kogoro.
Facing the caring gazes of the policemen, the hair on Mouri Kogoro's back stood up. He hurriedly sat up straight and said with a sweaty smile: "Hello everyone, please give me your advice!"
It’s no wonder that these police officers are hostile to Mouri Kogoro, because Suzuki Shiro’s invitation to Mouri Kogoro to participate in the case obviously means that he does not trust the police’s ability to handle the case.
Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro was also a criminal police officer before, otherwise these police officers would not simply stare at him with a benign look.
"You all listen to me, the purpose of our joint investigation this time is to protect the treasure. Even if the prisoner escapes, we must protect the treasure..."
Before Ochagi Kantarou finished speaking, Nakamori Ginzo suddenly dodged the microphone in front of him and shouted emotionally: "Everyone, how can we let go of Kaitou Kidd so easily?
I put the treasure second, and I must prioritize the capture of Kaitou Kidd. We must put the prestige and pride of our police on the line and put that stinky thief in jail. Do you all understand?"
"clear!!!"
"Ahhhh..."
Hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said, the police officers present immediately became more motivated. They couldn't help but stand up and started shouting, wishing that Kaitou Kidd would be executed on the spot.
(′Д(︶︹︺)
Feeling the terrifying fighting spirit emanating from everyone, Mouri Kogoro, who seemed a little out of place, picked up a napkin and wiped the cold sweat on his head, and secretly cursed in his heart: "It seems that this time I really received a difficult errand.
"
…
Early morning of August 22nd
Osaka Castle Station
As a train slowly stopped, Mao Lilan and his group walked out of the train.
In addition to Mouri Kogoro and Conan, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi also received an invitation from Suzuki Seimei and came to Osaka with Mouri Ran and the others.
Sonoko, who was waiting at the station with Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, saw Mao Lilan and the others, and quickly waved his right hand and shouted: "Xiaolan, we are over here!"
"Garden!"
Seeing this, Mao Lilan quickly walked over with Conan and the others.
Yuanzi first opened his arms, hugged Mao Lilan, and then smiled at everyone: "I have arranged the car, you come with me quickly!"
Under the leadership of Yuanzi, as soon as everyone walked out of the station entrance, an extended Lincoln, more than eight meters long, slowly stopped in front of them.
"Everyone, come in quickly!"
Tamaka Kurosaki, who was sitting in the back seat, opened the car door with a smile and welcomed everyone with excited faces into the car.
Leaning on the comfortable leather seat, Mouri Kogoro picked up a can of cold beer and couldn't help but sigh: "This high-end sedan is so comfortable to sit in. It deserves to be from the Suzuki Group!"
"That's because today is special!"
Yuanzi said with a look of infatuation: "Lord Kidd will appear soon, how can we not be more solemn?"
(?-w-)-w-)-w-)
Seeing Sonoko's nymphomaniac look, Suzuki Seimei and the others were speechless for a while.
Suzuki Seimei had nothing to do with this nymphomaniac sister Sonoko.
When the Suzuki Group received a warning letter from Kaito Kidd earlier, Sonoko learned that Kidd was coming to steal the Emperor's Easter egg. Instead of being angry, she was extremely happy.
