Chapter 55: The Magician at the End of the Century 1
August 1. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A conference room in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is holding a special search meeting on Kidd, a strange thief.
"Strange Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Kidd the Strange Thief, has committed a total of 134 crimes."
"Fifteen of these cases are in the United States, France, Germany and other countries. Footprint in 12 countries. ”
"A total of 152 gems were stolen, and the total amount of crimes committed reached 38,725 million yen."
"This is a new teaser from Kidd the Strange Thief yesterday!" Kantaro Chaki watched and released Kidd's latest teaser letter on the projection on the conference stage.
"From the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn. When the clock without the second hand reaches the twelfth letter, I will descend from the glowing heavenly pavilion and take the egg of memory. ”
"The magician at the end of the century. Kidd the Thief. ”
"The egg of memories mentioned in the advance letter is the secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty that was discovered from the Suzuki Foundation's treasury last month. That is, the Emperor's Easter egg. ”
"This Emperor's Easter egg, which was given to the Empress by the Russian Emperor at Easter, was made by the gem-maker Faberge, and only 50 were made from 1885 to 1916, and this one is the 51st egg."
"This 51st egg will be on display at the Suzuki Museum of Art, which will open in Osaka Castle Park from August 3."
"Next, about the content of the code, let Officer Nakamori explain it for us."
"Officer Nakamori!" Chaki looked at Officer Nakamori.
"Hey!" Officer Nakamori stood up and walked over to the lecture hall.
"Let's start with the first sentence. From the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn. This means that the last day of Leo begins at dusk on August 22 and ends at dawn on August 23 in Virgo. This represents the day of the crime. ”
This is the next sentence. The clock without a second hand goes to the 12th character. I guess this represents the time when the crime was committed. It's a pity that the specific time has not yet been deciphered. Officer Nakamori said regretfully.
"For the last sentence, I will descend from the glowing heavenly pavilion. It refers to the castle tower, which is Osaka Castle. Indicates the location where Kidd the Thief will appear. ”
So, Kidd's advance letter reads: Between the evening of August 22 and dawn on the 23rd, Kidd the Monster Thief will appear at the castle tower of Osaka Castle. Then steal the Emperor's Easter Egg. Officer Nakamori said excitedly.
The other criminal policemen in the audience applauded excitedly after hearing the explanation.
At this time, the Chaki police picked up the microphone, "This time we acted together with the Osaka Prefectural Police, and at the request of Mr. Suzuki, we invited Detective Mr. Kogoro Mori to assist in the investigation!" Chaki pointed to Kogoro who was sitting among the other detectives.
Immediately, the other detectives looked at Kogoro Mori with murderous eyes. As a criminal policeman, they actually need a detective to assist in the investigation, which is the biggest violation of their dignity.
Chaki continued. "Our goal this time is to keep the Easter Egg, even if the prisoner escapes, we must keep it!"
And when he said this, Officer Nakamori snatched the microphone.
"How could we let him go so easily! What is an Easter egg! Everybody! Bet on the prestige and pride of our police to get that bastard thief to jail this time! Absolutely! Absolutely! Officer Nakamori swore an oath very imposingly!
"Oh!" The enthusiasm of all the policemen in the audience was also awakened by Officer Nakamori.
Inside the villa at this time. Yibin was sitting on the sofa watching the news on TV.
Kidd the Strange Thief is back in the picture!
Yesterday, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department received the latest warning letter from Kidd, a strange thief. This is the first time Kidd has sent a notice letter directly to the police. This is definitely a provocation to the police!
In fact, no police force, whether at home or abroad, has ever succeeded in apprehending Kidd, the thief.
So how will the police respond to Kidd's arrogant provocation this time? This successful arrest of the thief Kidd?

At the end of the news, a photo of the invitation to Kidd the Strange Thief was attached.
"Hum ~~"
"Resurrection Egg ~~ Kidd the Strange Thief~~"
"It's also good to find an interesting opponent to play with once in a while~
In the early morning of August 22, in a room at a high-end hotel in Osaka.
A handsome-looking man passed out on the bed in his room. Above. Next to him, there stood a man who looked exactly like him.
"Hehe~~ Have a good dream with peace of mind."
The man left the room, and as he left, he hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door of the room.
In the afternoon, outside Osaka Train Station.
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan got into the Sonoko's luxury stretch car and headed to the Suzuki family's Museum of Modern Art.
"It's the Suzuki Foundation." Kogoro sat in the car and looked around at the luxurious interior of the car.
"Because today is special." Yuan Zi said happily.
"Special?" Kogoro had a curious expression.
"Because today I can meet His Highness Kidd, the strange thief I have always admired. How can you do it if it's not grand? The garden looked like a nymphomaniac at this time.
Hearing Sonoko's explanation, Kogoro had a speechless expression on his face.
"By the way, it was my father's secretary, Mr. Nishino, who drove for us." The garden introduced the three of them.
"Please advise!" Nishino said hello politely.
"He has lived in different countries around the world and is fluent in English, French and German."
"Wow! It's amazing! Xiaolan had a surprised expression on her face.
Mato Nishino drove the car from the station all the way to the Suzuki Museum of Modern Art.
The car stopped in front of the museum. Conan and the others got out of the car.
Between the art gallery and the guards stood around. It can almost be said that it is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Even in the air there was a helicopter circling around.
"What a tight vigilance!" Xiao Lan sighed when she saw so many guards.
"You can't even get an ant in." Kogoro also sighed.
"Of course! Because the opponent is Kidd the Monster Thief. Anyway, he's be. The garden was proudly introducing when she was interrupted by a voice behind her.
"It's a strange thief gentleman who has no freedom to change. No matter how tightly guarded, no matter how strong the vault, he can crack it as quickly as magic! This is a master of makeup that can even imitate his appearance, voice, and personality. That's right. "On a locomotive, a man and a woman took off their helmets.
This sudden appearance of the two officially Osaka's high school detective Heiji Hattori and his childhood friend Toyama Kazuha.
"This time it's a tricky opponent. Kudo! Heiji looked at Conan and said.
Conan was instantly frightened into a cold sweat by Hattori's words.
"Really. Why do you call Kudo to Conan every time Hattori? Xiaolan asked dissatisfiedly standing between Conan and Heiji.
"Haha~~ I'm sorry, because this guy's eyes are too similar to Kudo, so I called out unconsciously." Heiji scratched his hair in embarrassment.
"What an idiot! I got up early in the morning today and shouted that Kudo was coming, and Kudo was coming. He Ye stood behind Pingji and complained dissatisfiedly. Then he looked at Heiji with the eyes of a fool, "I think it's better for you to go to the hospital and let the doctor take a look." ”
Then the two began to quarrel on and on.
"Alright, alright. It's time for us to go in. Mr. Suzuki is still waiting for us inside. Kogoro looked at the two people who kept arguing and said dissatisfiedly.
