The time inferred from the preview letter of Kaitou Kidd is 7:20 tonight, and Suzuki Shiro has no time to arrange for Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro to have dinner.
Suzuki Sonoko felt that just staying in the president's room was too boring, so she went shopping with Mao Lilan, Toyama and Ye.
The remaining members of the foundation team continue to stay in the office.
Hattori Heiji and Conan huddled by the window, watching the scenery and studying Kaitou Kid's "weird behavior" this time.
"The question now is why the thing Kaito Kid stole this time was not a gem, but a handicraft?" Hattori Heiji asked confused.
Conan held his chin up, pondering what Suzuki Shiro just said.
The top of the "Egg of Memory" was inlaid with glass instead of gems. It is said that gems were not used because of Russia's internal and external troubles at that time.
Doesn't Kaitou Kid know that it's not a gem?
Impossible, there is no way Kaitou Kidd didn't know this level of information before he decided to take action.
That is to say...
"Could it be that Kaitou Kidd did the robbery not as 'Phantom Thief Kidd', but as 'The Magician of the End of the Century'?"
Conan's words were like a riddle, but Osaka Black Chicken tacitly guessed what Conan wanted to express.
"You mean he didn't steal for himself this time?"
"Well... maybe it's possible."
Hattori Heiji nodded, confirming Conan's conjecture, and then turned to look at Qin Zhibo, who was sitting on the sofa and chatting with Suzuki Shiro.
"Perhaps you could ask that person's opinion?"
Conan followed Hattori Heiji's gaze and looked at Qin Zhibo, then shook his head.
"No, Qin Zhibo is an old Riddler. If he wanted to say something, he must have said it just now."
"And my identity makes it inconvenient for me to have more contact with him. Otherwise, he will definitely use the fact that I am Kudo Shinichi to make fun of me."
As soon as Conan finished speaking, Hattori Heiji shouted in surprise: "What! He knows your identity?"
Hattori Heiji's voice was loud, attracting everyone in the president's room to look at the cutest pair with a height difference by the window, including the doubtful eyes of Kogoro Mori.
Conan had cold sweat streaming down his forehead and was shocked: w(?Д?)w?
Hattori Heiji also quickly came to the rescue and said: "Your identity on earth turns out to be an alien from space! Haha, you little brat really hides it well~"
After Hattori Heiji said this, Mouri Kogoro on the sofa responded with a disdainful look.
Tsk~ It turned out to be just teasing the kid.
The adults didn't raise any suspicion, and Conan gave Hattori Heiji a half-moon eye as usual.
You guys are really good at pretending...
Having learned his lesson, Hattori Heiji leaned down this time and asked in a low voice: "How did he know that you were Kudo? Did you also use his identity to reason after anesthetizing him?"
Hattori Heiji remembered that he was anesthetized by Conan, and then discovered Conan after the anesthesia.
In response, Conan shook his head and said: "No, he should have discovered my true identity through observation and reasoning."
"Ah?" Hattori Heiji didn't believe it, "Can you discover your identity just by observation and reasoning? How did you discover it?"
"I don't know either, but when we first met, he seemed to be suspicious of my identity."
"Later on, slowly..."
Conan didn't finish his words. Later, because he often met Qin Zhibo on cases, his identity seemed to be gradually confirmed.
"Then since he knew you were Kudo, why didn't he tell you directly?" Hattori Heiji felt that it was too strenuous to keep bending down, so he simply squatted down. "Isn't he curious about how you became a child?"
Conan didn't think about this either.
"Maybe he's not curious about why I'm getting smaller?"
Conan's explanation made Hattori Heiji frown.
"Detective is a profession driven by personal curiosity..."
"If I'm not curious, how can I still be called a detective?"
Conan also nodded in agreement.
Birds eat bird food...
In the end, the discussion between the two concluded that Qin Zhibo was not curious about the reason why Conan became smaller because he was older and his curiosity about things had diminished.
Furthermore, the two came to a conclusion in life.
It's scary to become an uncle...
...
On the sofa, Shiro Suzuki and others were chatting.
Mouri Kogoro was still the same as flattering Suzuki Shiro, and used all kinds of flattery to Suzuki Shiro.
Suddenly, Qin Zhibo interrupted: "Mr. Suzuki, are the tickets for the museum issued in advance this time?"
Suzuki Shiro nodded and replied: "Yes, a small part has been distributed, mainly to the important guests at the opening ceremony of the exhibition tomorrow."
"Those who were in the president's room just now all have tickets."
In this way, Qin Zhibo understood that Pu Siqinglan just now also had a ticket, and was more likely to be the person who assassinated Chunjing Fengchuan.
At this moment, secretary Nishino Masato walked in and reported to Suzuki Shiro.
"President Suzuki, there is a young lady named Natsumi Kasaka outside requesting a meeting. She said she has something to discuss about the Emperor's Easter egg."
Suzuki Shiro looked at his watch and replied: "It's almost time for Kaitou Kidd's announcement. If there is anything else we can talk about after we protect the Egg of Memory from Kidd's hands."
"Nishino, please drive the detectives to Tsutenkaku Tower first."
"Yes, President."
Just like that, Qin Zhibo and Mouri Kogoro got on the stretched Lincoln driven by Nishino, and Conan went to ride his green motorcycle at the invitation of Hattori Heiji.
When leaving the museum gate, Nishino pressed the electric window and said to Natsumi Kasaka and the old deacon who accompanied him, who were still waiting at the gate: "President Suzuki has some things to deal with for the time being, and it is not convenient to meet. Please wait.
Come back in an hour."
After saying that, Nishino raised the car window.
Qin Zhibo also happened to see the face of Natsumi Kasaka outside the car window.
A beauty with long brown hair and gray eyes!
Another woman with gray eyes!
...
PM7:15, Tsutenkaku Tower.
All the police were standing ready at Tongten Pavilion, and many detectives were also looking up at Tongten Pavilion, looking forward to the arrival of the white glider.
Conan was full of energy, and kept hinting to himself that he must bring Kidd to justice this time in order to clear his name.
However, at this moment, bunches of gorgeous fireworks suddenly burst into bloom over Osaka Castle not far away.
The light and roar of the fireworks immediately alerted the waiting police and detectives at Tsutenkaku Tower.
"what is that?"
Officer Ochagi Jintaro, who was hiding in Tsutenkaku, looked out sideways, and the subordinate on the side replied weakly: "Those are fireworks..."
"Nonsense! Of course I know those are fireworks!" Officer Chamu was a little angry, "I'm asking who set off those fireworks?"
An Osaka Prefecture police officer replied: "It seems that there is no record of fireworks being set off in Osaka Castle today."
Chamu reacted immediately and shouted: "No! The place Kidd wants to go is Osaka Castle!"
"Everyone goes to Osaka Castle immediately!"
Hattori Heiji, who was standing under Tsutenkaku Tower, suddenly woke up and said that he had a new interpretation of the code.
"The 'Glowing Sky Tower' does not refer to Tsutenkaku, but to Osaka Castle!"
"As long as the fireworks are set off, Osaka Castle will be lit up!"
Hattori Heiji felt regretful that he didn't express his wild guesses, while putting on his helmet and Conan, he prepared to head towards Osaka Castle.
The moment the motorcycle drove out, Conan turned back and looked at Qin Zhibo.
Qin Zhibo was seen standing there, as if he had no intention of leaving.
