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 divergent?"
Jiang Xia nodded: "Why does it have to be seven-twenty? Isn't eight-twenty okay?"
"!"
Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately understood what they were talking about. They looked down at their watches and suddenly realized that it was already 8:10: "...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 complex solutions.
So just now, after a flash of inspiration, Conan and Hattori Heiji were not so sure about the answer they came up with. After all, detectives should always be suspicious of everything. Then the two of them ran to Tsutenkaku to have a look, and there was really no answer.
When I saw Kidd, I immediately felt even more that I had guessed wrong.
But now, Jiang Xia's reference answer actually said this...
Could it be that Kidd will really appear at Tsutenkaku, but it will be one hour later than they expected?
...Cunning Kid! If I had known, 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 took off 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." At this time, the place seemed peaceful, but in fact, there were dense police ambushing 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!"
…
When the police are on alert.
In a high-end restaurant nearby.
Since the police took over all matters related to Kidd, Suzuki Shiro felt 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 by, 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.
…
You can also see fireworks in the distance at the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.
Three female high school students heard the commotion, walked 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, 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 it is perfect for insomnia.
Mao Lilan also came over with another cup of coffee. She looked up and saw the scene outside clearly, 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 while, I couldn't help but feel a little confused, and quietly touched my chin: "Wait a minute, I didn't hear 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 the Nakamori Police Department showed no response, so they had to issue a reminder: "Police Department, there are fireworks going off in the direction of Osaka Castle.
Lots of fireworks!”
"Why are you panicking? It's not like Kidd is always on time when he comes on stage." Zhongsen Police Department said with a leisurely expression, "Since the notice stated that he will appear at three or four in the morning, it will never be earlier -
—And, what if it’s him? There are no eggs 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 on stage at 8:20, and then I saw fireworks set off at Osaka Castle.
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but was 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 was usually in Tokyo and had more interactions with Kidd. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, maybe Kidd had 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 suddenly became more cautious. He looked at 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 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...
Several girls happened to hear it, and Suzuki Sonoko waved her hand: "Just tell me, it's okay. If it's lost, it's lost. 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: "The Zhongshan Police Department took away the 'Memory Egg' in the afternoon. He said it would be safer this way."
"Taken 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."
