【Chapter 276】Darkness Chen Cang
Yuan Zi couldn't wait to change into civilian clothes to meet Xiaolan, and she also brought Eri Lianye.
"Although I'm a staff member, I'm actually just a group of people who make soy sauce, hehe." Elionno explained.
Conan didn't think too much about it, to be precise, Elionno was Shiro Suzuki's secretary, and she was recommended by Jiroji Suzuki, but she had nothing to do with him in terms of administration.
However, it can be seen that Avery Lotus is indeed very appreciated by Suzuki Jiroyoshi, which makes Conan curious, what can make the old man who is known for his boldness and arrogance appreciate Eri Lotus so much?
"Mourning-chan, long time no see," Eri Ryano greeted Ashbara, "I knew Mourn-chan would come this time, so you must follow me and don't run away." ”
Ji Haihong touched Conan, and Conan immediately came back to his senses - Ellie Lianye's words have deep meaning!
Why don't we ask her? Ji Haihong asked with his eyes.
Conan shook his head, he wanted to observe the development of events again.
The Suzuki Foundation's newly built Rock Lake Museum of Art was built on the basis of a stalactite cave in the mountains near the lake. There are a total of eight floors of buildings in the mountain, and seven sunflowers are placed one layer from top to bottom. When visitors arrive on the eighth floor, the internal system activates and the seven sunflowers gather on the eighth floor, giving visitors a glimpse of the seven sunflowers coming together. After the exhibition is over, visitors will take the elevator from the eighth floor to the top exit.
The passages between each floor are made of tempered glass, like an undersea tunnel for an aquarium. Outside the passage is a breathtaking view of stalactites, and guests can enjoy nature's unrivalled masterpieces in between visits to artificial art.
Eli Lianye took Gray Yuan's little hand and was very happy to watch the stalactites with her. To outsiders, they are real sisters.
When Ji Haihong saw this warm scene, the tension in his heart eased a lot. If nothing else, at least Gray Yuan's sweet smile can make him very reassured.
Everyone watched the beautiful scenery all the way, talked and laughed, but really regarded this visit as a spring outing. As Conan walked, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"What is this?" Conan picked up a card, "Not yet...... Is it Kidd's teaser letter? ”
Ji Haihong said: "What a coincidence, why is it just at your feet, and you just picked it up?" ”
had no time to take care of him, Conan immediately asked Yuanzi to take him to the security room, and Ji Haihong followed closely behind. Xiaolan was not worried about Conan's safety, and followed, but was told that she did not have permission to enter the security room, so she could only wait outside the security room.
After entering, they found that the small security room was crowded with people. In addition to the "Seven Samurai" selected by Jiroyoshi Suzuki and Officer Nakamori, the Mushi Police Department and others are also here.
The teaser card has two columns of math equations, both of which are additional, and next to each number there is a symbol similar to "person".
After analyzing for a long time, they didn't see any meaning of these calculations.
Suzuki Jiroyoshi and the Twilight Police Department pretended to look at it for a long time, and also shook their heads: "It's too complicated, I can't understand it at all." ”
Conan understood.
The Rock Lake Art Museum has eight floors, and the passages between them are switchback-style. If the turnaround point is taken as the standard, then there are a total of 14 passages between the eight floors of the pavilion.
The first equation on the notice letter is 3=1λ+2λ+3λ+4λ, and the second equation is 2=3λ+4λ+3.
The meaning of the first equation is that he has passed through the first, second, third, and fourth passages to reach the third level, and the meaning of the second equation is......
It's a surprise, no, it's just shocking and unintelligible. This kind of relationship, why did Jiroji Suzuki do this, and why did Kidd the thief agree to him? The Metropolitan Police Department would not approve of this, but the Twilight Police Department appears to be an insider.
However, since Kidd is on the third layer, how can his card be right at his feet? It's like a deliberate gift to yourself.
Is Kidd giving himself a hint too?
"Conan, did you come up with anything?" When Ji Haihong saw Conan's thoughtful gaze, he knew that he must have understood something.
Since they couldn't help much here, Conan and the others came to the Sunflower Pavilion on the second floor, where the others were already waiting for them.
"Is Kidd really here?" Ayumi asked expectantly.
"Here," said Ji Haihong, "but his forecast is not for sunflowers." ”
Yuan Tai asked, "What is that for?" ”
Ji Haihong smiled mysteriously: "Secret, as a young detective, you must be obedient, don't make trouble, and discredit the reputation of our detective group." ”
"Of course!" Hearing Ji Haihong say this, the children expressed their positions one after another.
On the way to the second floor, Conan told Ji Haihong his reasoning. The basis of this reasoning comes from three people: Kikai Hiroshi, Suzuki Jiroyoshi, and Kidd the Monster Thief.
Ji Haihong questioned the motives of the strange thief Kidd at the beginning, and he firmly believed that the strange thief Kidd had been focusing on gems for twenty years, and it was impossible for him to steal sunflowers.
Jiroyoshi Suzuki revealed his cooperation with the police criminal investigation department, and the death of his security expert made Conan understand that there was really an inside story.
Conan is puzzled by Kidd's exaggerated actions in stealing the sunflowers, and he vaguely thinks about this possibility, but he doesn't want to believe it. But this time Kidd's preview convinced him that Jiroyoshi Suzuki and Kidd had teamed up. This kind of cooperation may not be known to the Metropolitan Police Department, but the Twilight Police Department does.
A case that can make an old cop like the Twilight Police Department cooperate with Kidd, a strange thief...... What situation are they facing? Who is the initiator of the case? What is the purpose?
Although Jiroyoshi Suzuki said that the storage on the security expert is still there, who can guarantee that the storage has not been dropped? What Jiroyoshi Suzuki said at the time was not necessarily true.
Because this kind of cooperation is so special, it is estimated that Jiroyoshi Suzuki has already discussed with Kidd that he will not use communication tools in the museum. The way they communicate with each other is probably a teaser card, and this card will definitely be picked up by Conan.
Oh, and he himself was just a messenger in this huge and incredible plan for a long time?
Thinking of this, Conan's expression became very rich and exciting.
"If this project is underway, then this museum is actually a trap, waiting for the target to fall into the net?" Ji Haihong said.
Conan did not deny it: "It's almost, but I speculate that it's true to hold an exhibition, and it's also true to arrest people, and Suzuki Jiroyoshi's plan to buy sunflowers to build an exhibition hall has long been known to everyone, and it is estimated that when the police learned about the location and structure of his art museum, they wanted him to become a bait and arrest the target in the art museum." ”
"Is only Jiroyoshi Suzuki qualified to be a bait? I'm curious to see what Jiroyoshi Suzuki is holding in his hand. ”
Conan said, "It's not just him, but even people like Kidd the Monster Thief who are willing to help, and this thing and the story behind it must not be simple." ”
"I still think this thing has something to do with gems, otherwise Kidd wouldn't have been able to keep it in mind." Ji Haihong still insisted on his own point of view.
After a short interlude, everyone continued their tour of the museum.
The meaning of the second equation is most likely that Kidd has seen the target on the second level, and the target is going through the third or fourth passage to the third level.
Coming to the third layer, Conan's mind is no longer on the sunflowers, and since Kidd has given him a hint, then he will definitely leave him the card in the next time. Sure enough, in a hidden place, Conan found the card.
It feels like this card is a bit hard though......
Conan was fumbling with the card, which had nothing on it except for Kidd's dedicated moe logo. Suddenly, a line appeared on the white card: "Hello, detective." ”
It's not a card, it's a computer?
"Are you scared by this kind of high technology? Hehe, you must not have thought of ......" Kidd deliberately bought a pass.
"Didn't you just join forces with Uncle Suzuki, what's so hard to guess." Conan replied immediately.
"Isn't it⊙▽⊙, you even know how to send messages?" Kidd's hand trembled.
Conan replied: "Since you know it's a technology product, it must be a touch screen, there are so many patterns and symbols on the card, and the most likely to call out the keyboard is probably the heart on your logo." ”
"Ah, I blame the thief Kidd for serving, no matter what, you know, although I teamed up with that guy, but this matter is only known to the old fat man in the Metropolitan Police Department, so I don't have any scientific and technological contact with them, so I took a fancy to you, you did a good job, sent my tips to them in a very timely manner, and found this contact I left, by the way, this thing was studied by Suzuki Jiroyoshi, and it is really easy to use."
Of course, it works, and Jiroyoshi Suzuki took out his mobile phone, which showed a diagram of the structure of the museum. Two red dots exist in it, one for Conan and one for Kidd.
The thief Kidd agreed to cooperate, and Jiroyoshi Suzuki promised not to do anything to Kidd during the mission, but the prisoner was caught, and what happened after the mission was over?
There's no agreement on this one.,If you don't make good use of it.,Can he still call Suzuki Jiroyoshi?
Killing two birds with one stone, if he can successfully catch the monster thief Kidd this time, he will even think of the news headline the next day, which will be called "Kidd withering in the sunflower flowers".
Conan received a text message on his phone, from Jiroyoshi Suzuki. It seems that he has even investigated Conan's mobile phone number, and he didn't get it through Suzuki Sonoko.
Jiroyoshi Suzuki asks Conan to send him the news that Kidd has gotten, and that a visitor to the exhibition is always suspicious of having a mobile phone or wearing a Bluetooth headset. In contrast, no one cares about children. This method of contact is very secretive, and no one will even see it.
It's really well planned. Conan sighed, he had to admit that he was so lucky to be a messenger in this plan.
"Detective, the target is ready to go." Kidd sent a final message.
