Chapter 364 Don't Give Me Really Don't Open My Pocket.jpg
Shiraishi pretended to look through the brochure and glanced at the task bar on the screen. There were still no new tasks.
I don’t know whether it’s because Kidd doesn’t need to be saved or because the time hasn’t come yet.
Just as he was thinking about it, the car door beside him was suddenly opened from the outside.
Shiraishi turned around and saw Suzuki Sonoko standing beside the car.
She bent down, reached into the car, and grabbed Shiraishi's wrist holding the brochure. At the same time, she blinked, and two lines of clear tears appeared on her face - the eye drops she had secretly ordered just now.
Suzuki Sonoko pretended to wipe her face and sniffed:
"Richie, you've heard about it, right? In fact, the egg that Kidd wanted to steal is very important to me. It carries all my childhood memories...I heard that he almost never misses it, every time.
If I can get the loot I want, I, I..."
"..." But I remember the setting said that it was a toy that you got tired of playing with when you were a child, so it was put into the warehouse?
Also, your eye drops were not put away properly, and the bottle cap was exposed from the bag...
In the absence of a mission, Shiraishi doesn't want to take on a mission like "helping protect the Egg of Memory" that would limit his position to some extent.
Just as he was thinking about how to politely refuse without losing his character, he suddenly felt a heavy weight in his arms.
——Suzuki Sonoko took out a heavy cowhide bag from his bag and stuffed it into him.
Although she can transfer money directly, she always feels that a large amount of cash will appear more sincere, and it is also more in line with her idea of a small employment theater. It has a sense of ritual and is much more interesting than a light remittance.
However……
"There's no need for this, why wouldn't I help you?"
Shiraishi declined gently and handed the paper bag back to Suzuki Sonoko.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Suzuki Sonoko felt that his voice was much gentler than usual.
I just can’t stand to see girls cry. Hehehe, Ritsuki is so naive and easy to deceive... Although my conscience feels a little painful, it works! It seems that I will add another item to my regular supplies in the future - eye drops.
Although the process is a bit difficult to describe, the current results made Suzuki Sonoko award herself a Best Actress Award in her heart.
She quickly pretended to be crying and smiled, and her mood improved - mainly because it was not easy to put eye drops in front of Shiraishi, without any external aid, just let her cry, and she couldn't cry.
Suzuki Sonoko held back her tears, and pushed back the paper bag Shiraishi handed her back with a moved expression: "You must accept it! How can I take advantage of you." Of course, she really wanted to take advantage of things other than money...
…
Shiraishi did what she thought and refused to charge.
But Suzuki Sonoko is very persistent.
Moreover, the meaning of Shiraishi's words just now was obviously that he agreed to help, and rounding it off was equivalent to accepting the commission.
Now that you have accepted the commission, isn't it only natural to use money to do things?
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt confident.
Like an adult who gives red envelopes to her juniors during the Chinese New Year, she opened Shiraishi's bag that didn't contain much, put the brown paper bag in, and then carefully zipped it tightly: "It's settled!"
Seeing Shiraishi sighing and reluctantly succumbing to her firm attitude, Suzuki Sonoko turned her back, covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
…
After being "forced" to accept the commission, Shiraishi naturally got involved in the matter.
Whether it can prevent the eggs from being stolen is not said, but it is definitely not possible to just do nothing and just get the salary in vain. This will easily lead to fraud warnings and will also hurt your conscience.
So at least you have to make a show of it. What's more, in this case, the task may be skipped at any time.
The Suzuki Museum of Modern Art will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony today and then display related exhibits.
After Shiraishi got out of the car, Hattori Heiji and Conan noticed him and handed him a copy of Kidd's notice letter.
The above is Kidd's favorite way of writing puzzles. The text consists of four lines. At the bottom is the signature "The Magician of the End of the Century, Phantom Thief Kidd" and a Q version of a simple avatar drawn by Kidd himself.
The first line of the notice letter - "From the lion at dusk to the otome in the morning", indicates the date.
Regarding this sentence, everyone has a unanimous opinion, and even the Zhongshan Police Department has noticed it. They all think it refers to the period from dusk on the last day of Leo to dawn on the first day of Virgo, that is, the dusk of August 22, to August
In the early morning of the 23rd.
The second line - when the clock without a second hand points to the 12th character, it predicts a more detailed time.
This one is more confusing. Not to mention the Nakamori Police Department, even the two high school student detectives haven’t solved it yet.
The last group of people came up with two conjectures - one is that this refers to the 12th kana "し" in the 50-sound map, which happens to be the pronunciation of the number "four" and can refer to four o'clock in the morning.
However, the Zhongshan Police Department objected to this.
He felt that this kind of answer was too simple and did not fit Kidd's characteristic of being unemotional when sending out notice letters.
So real time is definitely more complicated.
So there was a second speculation - the 12th letter in the English alphabet, "L".
One long and one short, perfect 3 points.
This answer was recognized by more people, and even Hattori Heiji and Conan temporarily acquiesced. They could not think of a more suitable interpretation method.
Shiraishi listened for a while and felt that the two speculations were almost the same, and it was impossible to say who was more complicated.
But he didn't say anything.
Shiraishi himself didn't remember much about the detailed code.
However, he remembered that the approximate time was after dark, which coincided with meal time, and there were many cars on the road. Since it was summer, it would be around seven to nine o'clock.
The third line of the trailer - "Descending from the shining pavilion of the sky" - foreshadows the location where Kidd will appear. This wording is even more confusing.
There happened to be some educated people in the police force. The Zhongsen Police Department snorted and looked at the two high school students with pride:
"Of course it refers to the castle tower, which is Osaka Castle - Mr. Taiko who founded Osaka Castle once said that the development of Osaka Castle is like the light of Osaka.
"The words 'light' and 'pavilion' appear at the same time, and Kidd didn't specify the location specifically, indicating that this must be a very famous place. Apart from Osaka Castle, there is no more suitable place!"
"..." Shiraishi still couldn't remember where Kidd appeared on the stage. But he remembered that this group of people had all the wrong answers from the detailed time to the location.
In his impression, it seemed to be a very high place. Apart from the castle tower, there were not many buildings that high.
Should we go to the roof of the building to block Kidd at night, or should we be more conservative and keep an eye on the Memory Egg?
How about secretly stuffing a red-leaf special transmitter into the egg, so that no matter where it goes, it can be found again.
And although Kidd doesn't kill people, he is still a gangster who carries anesthetic stunners and all kinds of other things. Not to mention that there is a villain who loves sniping secretly. It is too unsafe to use the main body, and he may need to appear in a mask.
If Mask meets Hattori Heiji and Conan, no matter which skin they are, there will be too many problems.
It's better to let them solve the problem and lure these two people away. At that time, whether he goes there by himself or notifies the police, the problem can be solved... Unfortunately, this is not Tokyo, and there is no policeman he knows. Mr. Hirota's name
The number may not be easy to use and may not be able to command.
While Shiraishi was thinking about what to do later, he listened to several other people discussing the notice letter.
After the wrong time and place were finally determined, and the Nakamori Police Department planned to start setting up defenses accordingly, a group of people prepared to take the next step - entering the Suzuki Museum of Art to take a look at the much-anticipated egg.
