Chapter 1041 Law of Elimination
"He's sent another notice letter, you should have arrested him last time. ”
Conan looked at Xu Yue, who came to the door, and couldn't help but pout.
The stolen things this time belonged to the Suzuki Group, and because of the relationship between the garden, Kogoro Mori was invited to join the response team.
So Conan also roughly understood the content.
"Don't you think it's fun to have a strange thief with you, it's a pity to have less. ”
Xu Yue said very casually, originally the blame thief Kidd probably gave up, seeing that he had not sent a notice letter, Xu Yue personally visited the high school student Black Feather Kaito, and then the Suzuki Group received this thing the next day.
"Hehe, although he hasn't hurt anyone, the losses caused every time are very large, and you are responsible for these. ”
Conan Pi said with a smile, but was soon fished up by Xu Yue, making his meat start laughing.
"I'm just a member of the security department, it's not my job......"
......
Because the last operation and the monster thief Kidd were invincible, this time the Metropolitan Police Department is also trying to kill this opponent who has made the police lose face.
The mobilization meeting has already begun, and the Criminal Department has also invited Minister Sato, who has made great contributions last time, to participate, but Xu Yue has no intention of going over, but the meeting of the department held by their Criminal Department.
Well, take out a Maori Kogoro who made them feel shame.
This mobilization meeting also decided to join forces with the Osaka Police Headquarters to deal with the strange thief Kidd!
With the foundation of the previous successive theft cases, the joint plan of the two parties this time is also very smooth......
"The riddle of 'the lion of the twilight to the maiden of the dawn' has been solved, and that is the day that ends in Leo on August 22 and begins in Virgo on August 23. ”
"The second sentence 'The clock without a second hand goes to the twelfth word' has not yet been cracked, but the third sentence 'descending from the bright sky' must be the castle tower of Osaka! The location and date have been determined, and now there is just a lack of specific time, and with our police arrangement, we can easily complete the defense and arrest him!"
Nakamori Ginzo's statement at the general mobilization meeting also received a burst of ghost crying wolf howls from the policemen below.
I've lost face on Kidd the Monster Thief too many times, and this time I must get them all back!
That kind of fiery atmosphere made Maori Kogoro, who also participated in the mobilization meeting, feel embarrassed for a while, and always felt that he was out of place with them, or that kid Sato was smart, and he didn't come if he was invited......
......
Because the date has been set and the location has been set, the police on both sides have also started the layout in advance.
Xu Yue, the soy sauce minister, once again rubbed Maori Kogoro and their car to Osaka, and also accompanied him with Gray Yuan and Miyano Akemi.
After all, you have to protect witnesses closely, you can't help it, it's very hard.
"Xiaolan~"
After arriving in Osaka, the eldest lady Suzuki Sonoko came to pick up the car, and a high-end business car easily packed everyone away.
"This is my father's assistant Nishino Masa, who is proficient in the seven Chinese languages and is a great high-achieving student. ”
After getting into the car, Sonoko Suzuki introduced the driver to the driver, who seemed to be unpretentious, but she didn't expect to be a foreign language expert.
The Suzuki Group's heritage can also be seen.
Soon, the van arrived at one of the Suzuki Group's buildings in Osaka.
And Suzuki Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki, was already waiting at the top of the building.
However, in addition to him, there were several other people at the scene.
One is a Russian named Siruov, because the 'Egg of Memory' that Kidd wants to steal is itself a treasure of the Russian Romanzhov Dynasty, and although the ownership is now owned by the Suzuki Group, he seems to want to bring this back to China.
There is also an art collector, the old man Qianjiangyi, who is also very interested in this egg of memory, and even when Xu Yue and the others came in, they had already opened their mouths to a price of 800 million.
However, it is obvious that for the Suzuki Group, this thing was lost to Suzuki Yuanzi as a toy when he was a child, and he didn't care much about the 800 million yuan, but this also reflects its value.
In addition to the two of them who showed their intentions for this thing, there was also Pu Si Qinglan, an expert from the Romanzhov Kingdom in China, whose interest in the Egg of Memories was more like a desire to study.
There is another freelance photographer named Hanchuan Ryu, who has been pestering for a long time to photograph this treasure, and he took the trouble to let him in, and after he saw that Nishino Zhenren bring Xu Yue and them in, there was a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly put it away.
"Haha, Mr. Sato, Mr. Mori, you are here, welcome, welcome, this time the two of you are in trouble. ”
After Shiro Suzuki saw Xu Yue and them coming, he personally stood up and expressed his welcome to the two.
The appearance of the two also attracted the attention of several other people, but they didn't say much.
At this time, Nishino Zhenren, who is proficient in the seven Chinese languages, has also brought out this memory egg from the storage room next to him and put it in front of everyone.
When the box was opened, a strange ostrich-like artwork was revealed, which could be flipped open to reveal a carved figure made of gold underneath.
"It is said that this is the family of Emperor Nikola. ”
Shiro Suzuki gave a brief introduction, and then took out a small key and continued
"And there's a little mechanism here, you see......"
After the small key is inserted, it can be wound for the box like a clockwork, and then the sculpture figure inside begins to flip through the book by itself, which attracts a burst of amazement.
Although the principle is similar to that of the music box, it is still a high-value cultural relic.
Everyone on the scene showed considerable attention to it.
"But that damn thief Kidd is paying attention this time, it's really hateful. ”
After this round of complaints, soon the door also entered the door again.
It's the Chaki Shintaro Police Station and the Nakamori Ginzo Police Department, both of whom came on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, because they have always been in charge of the case of the strange thief Kidd, so even when they arrived in Osaka, they also took the lead.
"Rest assured, we've almost solved all the puzzles, and it's confirmed that it will appear at the castle tower on August 23rd!"
Chaki Shintaro said confidently, and then he also saw Xu Yue present and saluted him.
"Chaki Police, go on, I'm here for a casual stroll this time. ”
Xu Yue smiled, not interfering too much.
"The only thing that hasn't been determined yet is the phrase 'the clock without a second hand goes to the twelfth character,' which represents the specific time. ”
Kamataro Chaki's eyes looked a little gloomy.
"Is it the Japanese alphabet? The twelfth is ツィ, tsi pronunciation, does that mean four o'clock?"
Akemi Miyano said with some curiosity that she was simple-minded, so after hearing this sentence, she subconsciously thought of the easiest way.
But it also opens up a new idea for everyone, yes, could it be a word?
But this is too simple, a little bit out of line with Kidd's style.
"Ha-huh, hahaha, I already know what that means. ”
Suddenly, Kogoro Mori laughed and shot out his tongue, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's not Japanese, it's an English word, because the twelfth letter of the word is 'L'L', which means three points on the watch, which also corresponds to the dawn girl in front of it, and also represents a watch without hands. ”
After Maori Kogoro's words were finished, everyone present instantly realized.
yes, that's what it means!
This time, even Conan couldn't refute him for a while, because his words corresponded to the contents of the teaser letter.
But Conan, who has dealt with strange thieves a few times, knows that things may not be so simple.
Well, in fact, don't think about it at all, most of the time Mori Kogoro's judgment can be excluded by the elimination method, and now it is certain that it is definitely not three o'clock in the morning......
