Unlike the one-point penetration of several high school detectives, Kogoro and the two policemen are still confused, why is it seven twenty? Er San also couldn't understand the reason, but she believed that what came out of her sister's mouth must be correct.

"Why seven-twenty?" Chaki asked.

Seeing that Ah Yi had already reacted, Zero Zi motioned to him with his eyes. After all, it's his cousin, and he still has to be given a chance to perform.

Ah Yi received the hint from his cousin's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The first sentence of the notice letter, 'From the water crab at dusk to the lion at dawn (黃恮水crabから暁の獅子へ)', a total of twelve words, and the hour hand without seconds goes to the 12th word, which refers to the last word of the first sentence, へ, corresponding to the shape of the hour hand and minute hand, which is 7:20. ”

After listening to this, Nakamori and Chaki glanced at each other, this reasoning seemed to sound a little reasonable, but it seemed a little unreliable. As far as the Nakamori Police Department is concerned, he prefers the answer at 3 a.m.

As soon as Zero looked at Nakamori's reaction, he knew that he didn't quite agree with his answer, but it didn't matter, he was at this level anyway, otherwise how could he be casually teased by Kidd every time. Anyway, his purpose this time was to capture Kidd alone, and it was good that Nakamori didn't believe in his conclusion, and it saved him from hindering himself.

Chamu Police doesn't worry about which one is the right answer, anyway, it's a big deal to be on guard all night, and if you can't hold on all night, what kind of police is it.

Suzuki Jiroji obviously also had the same idea as Chaki, but he said with a grin: "It's nothing if the answer is not uniform, it's a big deal to keep it from tonight to tomorrow morning, if you can't hold on even one night, then what do you police do?" ”

This kind of thing is nothing to think about in my heart, but it is a little wrong to say it, and the Nakamori Police Department glared at Jiroji directly, but Jiroji would be afraid of him glaring, and directly choked him: "The Nakamori Police Department stared at me like this, does it mean that you can't hold on all night?" ”

"Old man, don't look down on people! Not to mention a whole night, even if it lasts for three days and three nights, it is not difficult for me! "How can a real man say no.

Chaki still had a doubt, so he spoke, "Now there is one last question left, which is that Kidd called himself 'the magician of the end of the century' at the end of the teaser. It's not hard to understand that Kidd calls himself a magician, but the question is that it's 2007 now, so where does the term 'end of the century' come from? So I wonder if his self-proclaimed claim has something else. ”

Zero glanced at Chaki, congratulations, you guessed right.

The theatrical version of "The Magician at the End of the Century" was released in 1999, when the timeline in the plot was synchronized with reality in 99 years, so the police in the theatrical version have a plain and direct understanding of the title of "The Magician at the End of the Century".

However, the world that Zero has crossed over has a timeline unique to that world, and the current time is 2007. In this way, the title of "magician at the end of the century" is incomprehensible to the police.

Nakamori thought for a moment and said, "The strange thief Kidd started committing crimes more than twenty years ago, and then suddenly disappeared eight years ago, and only recently reappeared, does the 'magician at the end of the century' describe Kidd at the end of the last century?" ”

Chaki was noncommittal, even if that was the case, Kidd had never used this title before, and then only used it in 07 now? I can't say it.

Zero naturally understands that "The Magician at the End of the Century" actually refers to Kiichi Kasaka, the maker of this Egg of Memory, but this kind of thing that she shouldn't know is obviously not going to say to the police.

In addition, Zero did not intend to tell the police that the "glowing sky pavilion" actually referred to the Tsutenkaku Pavilion and not the castle tower. It's okay to tell you a specific time to show your reasoning, and then tell me the location, in case your police go to the Babel Pavilion to set up a control, then how can you arrest Kidd alone?

"Hey, Conan......" Heiji said in Conan's ear, "that beautiful woman named Kaneda Ichiko is amazing." Although her cousin is not bad, Miss Zero's reasoning skills are a little ridiculously strong, and she can crack Kidd's code so easily. ”

Conan nodded, he already knew Zero's abilities. He found that Hattori was looking at Zero directly, and his heart moved, secretly wondering if this guy should be empathetic and don't fall in love with Zero.

"Hey, Hattori, if you like Zero, I advise you to give up early, Zero won't take a fancy to you." Conan said to Heiji.

"Why?" Although Pingji glanced at Zero a few more times doesn't mean that he really sees something different, Conan still makes him feel a little unhappy when he says so bluntly that Zero can't like him.

"Because...... You're too dark. ”

The reason given last time when Izu Zero rejected Kyogoku Shin was that she liked boys with good minds, but according to Conan's careful observation, Zero was obviously unspeakable when answering, which means that her reply was purely to fool Kyogoku Shin.

So why did Zero refuse Kyogoku Ma, according to Conan's rigorous judgment, he finally came to the conclusion that Zero didn't like dark-skinned boys, so she rejected Kyogoku Ma. But this reason is inconvenient to say, so I made up an excuse to prevaricate the other party.

And your Hattori Heiji's skin is as dark as Kyogoku's, so of course Zero won't like you.

That's right, my Edogawa Conan's reasoning is so flawless, there are no problems!

"It's too dark?" Hearing Conan's words, Heiji's forehead suddenly turned blue, and he said to Conan almost face to face: "The stinky little ghost dares to hurt me!" Believe it or not, I'll directly report your identity as Shinichi Kudo to your sister Xiaolan? ”

"Who hurt you? Isn't it true that you're black-faced? Dare to threaten me, if you dare to reveal my identity, I will go and tell Kazuha that you are in love with Kaneda Ichiko, a negative man who changes his mind when he sees a beautiful girl! ”

Conan and Heiji did not give in to each other like the tip of a needle, and the two faces were even close to each other.

There was a "click", and it seemed to be the sound of a camera shutter.

"That...... Sister Zero, what were you doing just now? Conan saw Zero holding his mobile phone, facing himself and Pingji, and had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.

"Record this scene of your love for each other." Zero said with a smile, "The handsome guy at Osaka High School and the cute Shota in Tokyo, if this photo is uploaded to the rotten girl website, the number of hits will definitely be super high." ”

"Sister Zero, you must be joking, right?"

"Miss Kanedaichi, please delete that photo!"

Ignoring the wails of the two, Zero slowly put the phone back in his pocket, leaving only a bright smile for the two.

———————— plot dividing line————————

It was only afternoon, and there were still several hours before Kidd's announcement time, and it was impossible for everyone to stay in the president's room all the time, so they took their leave.

Before leaving the president's office, Zero walked up to the Nakamori Police Department and said, "Mr. Police, your tie is crooked." ”

As he spoke, Zero reached out to help Nakamori straighten his tie.

Looking at the big beauty standing more than 20 centimeters in front of him, Nakamori couldn't help but blush.

After Zero moved away from Nakamori, Conan leaned in and said, "It's really an old-fashioned way to install bugs. ”

"It's illegal to install a bug, how can a good law-abiding citizen like me do such a thing? I just installed a GPS positioning device, and there is no eavesdropping function. ”

Only a location device with no eavesdropping installed? Conan was a little puzzled, what is the point of just asking for a police location if you don't eavesdrop?

Installing a bugging device is illegal, shouldn't it be a satire on the fact that I eavesdropped on the Twilight Police Department in my last football stadium case? Besides, eavesdropping is illegal, isn't it illegal for you to install a positioning device privately?

Conan wanted to ridicule him, but found that Zero was looking at him with a smile, and he panicked inexplicably, so he kept silent.

Sonoko offered to have a good time in Osaka in the afternoon, but Zero didn't participate on the grounds that he was a little tired, and asked President Suzuki to arrange a room for him to rest.

It's not that she doesn't want to travel with Xiaolan and them, but the system suddenly gives a hint that the upgrade is complete, so naturally she has to check the upgraded system first.

Seeing this, the second or third naturally wanted to accompany Zero.

Chairman Suzuki's arrangement is comprehensive, and the lounge for Zero is spacious and comfortable, and it is equipped with computers, televisions, game consoles, books, and more.

After everyone left, the Nakamori Police Department returned to the president's room with two of his subordinates, and proposed to Chairman Suzuki the idea of hiding the Egg of Memories elsewhere: "In the past, we always put the treasure where Kidd knew, so we let him succeed again and again, and this time we plan to confuse the public, so that Kidd will lose his goal." ”

Chairman Suzuki agrees to Nakamori's proposal and asks him and two of his subordinates to take the Egg of Memories with them.

In the lounge, Two-Three originally wanted to chat with Zero, but Zero-Child told her that she wanted to rest alone for a while, so Two-Three could only hold his mouth and go to play games alone. Of course, the second and third are also very intimate to turn down the volume of the game very lightly.

Zero reclined on the couch, looking at the upgraded system.

After the system upgrade, there is an additional item store function, according to the system, Zero only needs to silently recite the "system store" in his heart, and he can open the store interface.

There are 12 inventory slots in three rows and four columns on the shop interface, and if you focus your mind on a certain slot, you can see a specific description of the item, as well as ...... Price.

That's right, every item in the store is purchased for real money, and it must be in cash. If you prepare the corresponding amount of Japanese yen and then specify an item to buy in the shop, the money will disappear into thin air, and the item will appear where the money was originally placed.

When listening to the introduction of the system, Zero didn't mention how awkward it was in his heart, Nima didn't tell me before that the system told me that the things in this store should be purchased with cash!

After a rough scan of the price, the cheapest item is a few thousand yen, and the most expensive item is priced at a full 300 million yen!

300 million? I may not be able to make so much money in my life!

The system continues to be introduced. Once an item is purchased, its original slot will be blank, and the store will restock it every fifteen days, filling the empty slot with other items. In addition, if the host does not like all the items in the slot, it can be refreshed for 100,000 yen and replace all the original 12 items with new items.

The items in the shop are divided into two categories: equippable and one-use, and the single-use items are mostly food or potions, which can be eaten and drunk directly after purchase, and can have a permanent effect, without special equipment, so they will not consume their current four-slot inventory.

Equipment-type items, on the other hand, are more cumbersome, requiring both realistic equipment and inventory equipment to exert their effects. For example, if you buy a bracelet that increases luck by 7% in the store, you need to equip it in your inventory in your mind and wear it on your wrist in reality. If one of these links is missing, then the bracelet is just an ordinary bracelet.

Finally, the system also mentions that stores can be credited. When you want to buy an item but don't have enough property, you can apply for credit first and withdraw the item directly. However, the store cannot be used again until the arrears are paid off, and the credit is interest-bearing at a rate of 1% per day. Failure to pay off the arrears after 100 days will have serious consequences.

When Zero asked the system what the consequences were, the system didn't answer, just sneered "hehe", which made Zero shudder.
