After leaving the detective office on the fourth floor, Shiraishi went down to the first floor and entered the bathroom.

He entered the cubicle, released the body, and rummaged through the pocket of the body to find the wallet.

After collecting the spare key and money given by Amuro, Shiraishi transforms into a cat form and slips out of the window with the Poké Ball containing the main body and slips back to the café.

……

When I got home, it was almost noon.

Shiraishi lifted his mask and bought a bento box nearby, but when he went out, he accidentally glanced upstairs and found that the window was open, and Mori and his party had returned.

…… This means that the next task is not far off.

After eating, Shiraishi collapsed on the sofa and continued to watch the teaching video of the bomb explosion project given by Momiji.

In the evening, I was about to buy another lunch box for the evening, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

Shiraishi walked over, opened the newly installed baffle in front of the cat's eyes, and looked out, but there was no one in sight, but the knocking continued.

He immediately understood, and as soon as he opened the door, it was Conan outside the door.

Shiraishi adjusted his expression and said kindly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Are you interested in taking a look at this code?" Conan clutched a small note, looking a little excited.

Delayed by an accident, the three of them returned to the Maori Detective Agency by the time they returned to the Māori Detective Agency, it was almost noon.

Moriran hurried to school after cooking her meal, and when she came home from school, she brought back a commission - this commission was also issued by Sonoko Suzuki, and she hoped that Mori Kogoro would catch Kidd, the monster thief.

The Rice Flower Museum is hosting a world-renowned jewelry exhibition, and the Suzuki family, of course, has stepped in by providing a black pearl called the "Black Star" for the exhibition.

And now, the "Black Star" has become Kidd's new target.

Although I can ask the police to arrest someone, Suzuki Sonoko doesn't think so:

"If he is caught by the police, he will be escorted away. But if you get caught by your dad, we'll be able to see his face up close! Such a chic world-class thief, don't you wonder what he looks like! It must be a handsome guy! ”

Although Mao Lilan is not interested in other handsome guys, how could she not help convey her best friend's request.

So she brought back a copy of Kidd's letter of notice from the thief—the one Conan was holding.

Conan was interested in all things puzzled, codeword.

He thought upstairs for a while, but he couldn't decipher the message in the advance letter.

Suddenly remembering that Shiraishi is also good at reasoning, Conan deliberately brought the puzzle down to share the joy with his neighbors - it must be more fun to compete with each other while exchanging ideas, which must be more fun than communicating with Mori Kogoro.

Shiraishi observed Conan's expression and vaguely felt his brain circuit, regretting that he hadn't pretended not to be at home just now.

But the doors are open, and if you refuse at this time, you always feel that it will be cowardly. And I'm not good at reasoning, so I can rely on spoilers. Thinking so, Shiraishi also pretended to be interested, let Conan into the study, took the piece of paper and looked at it.

This is indeed a warning letter, and the wording is incomprehensible:

“April·fool

When the moon separates the two

Under the name of the Dark Star

Invited to the waves

I will come

Kidd"

Conan can't decipher the rest of the information for the time being, and can only use the first sentence to determine that Kidd the Strange Thief will do it on April 1, that is, the day after tomorrow.

In order to solve the puzzle as soon as possible, he sent a message to the doctor, hoping that he could help investigate the information about the "Kidd the Strange Thief", but the results have not yet been obtained.

At this time, looking at the white stone in front of him, Conan suddenly remembered that he was downstairs...... It seems to be a good source of intelligence in itself.

He asked, "Do you know anything about Kidd?" ”

"I don't know much." Shiraishi habitually finished Tai Chi and suddenly realized that Conan's information about Kidd could be found out sooner or later.

In other words, telling him now is equivalent to selling a favor for nothing, and if you find children to do child labor in the future, you will be more at ease......

Thinking of this, Shiraishi tried to recall the character introductions that his cousin had edited:

"All I know is that 'Kidd' first appeared eighteen years ago, and after ten years of activity, the previous generation of Kidd retired due to an accident, and then another eight years later - that is, recently, his descendants began to act in the name of Kidd, and because he was more ...... when he committed crimes"

Shiraishi swallowed back the "love outfit [beep-]" that came to his lips and changed his words: "It's more distinctive, with a very strong personal style, so it's very popular now, and I already have a considerable number of fans." ”

"A thief can even have fans." Conan frowned, feeling that the rule of law was being flouted, "And he actually taught his offspring to steal, and his parents are too irresponsible." ”

Shiraishi didn't comment, he pinched the teaser letter, sat down in the comfortable boss's chair in the study, and began to follow the plot.

Judging by the fact that Conan didn't know much about Kidd, this should be a very early case. Kidd appears for the first time in the original book, and the scene seems to be on the top of a building, and it is very late, and the background color is large black.

Now that you've mastered a few keywords, you're ready to make up happily.

Seeing that Shiraishi put the advance letter back on the table, looking like he wasn't going to look at it again, Conan was a little surprised: "You're not interested in this matter?" After a pause, another possibility came to mind: "You've already decoded it!?" ”

"Sort of." Shiraishi's tone was calm and his face was calm, which would make the nonsense more credible by thirty percent, "He will appear on the rooftop somewhere in the middle of the night. ”

Although Conan didn't know Kidd, he had heard a lot of legends about the "strange thieves". He knew that the notice letter sent by these people would definitely accurately mark the time and specific place, and would not only have an approximate range as Shiraishi had just said.

So...... Did he deduce it and then blur the information?

This attitude made Conan feel that something was wrong: "You don't want to arrest him? ”

No, I just forgot exactly where he was going, and there was no bonus for catching Kidd......

But Conan has set up the steps, and it will be very shameless not to go once, Shiraishi leaned back in his chair and nodded: "He never kills, and he will return everything he steals." ”

"Don't kill...... Is this what you usually measure? Conan picked up the note from the table thoughtfully, "But theft is theft, and I will bring him to justice." ”

"Well, come on." Shiraishi looked at Conan, who was extremely serious at the moment, and then remembered that the sea ...... "true fragrance" he let Kidd let go afterwards was indeed the eternal truth of nature.

Unable to get an answer from Shiraishi, and since he solved the problem as quickly as he could, the imaginary pleasant discussion was non-existent, so Conan could only return upstairs with the note.

……

The next day, the Maori trio went to the Rice Flower Museum early to try to capture the thief Kidd. Shiraishi continued to nibble at home.

In the afternoon, the phone that was placed next to it vibrated a little.

Shiraishi picked it up, pressed it open, and saw that it was a message from Amuro.

The detective's business license has been completed, and the materials needed to plant the bomb have been sent to the detective agency by the organization, and the operation can begin.

Shiraishi put away his phone, activated the mask, hid the Poké Ball containing the main body in the corner, and then found a few clean pieces of money and rolled them in plastic wrap.

He took the form of a cat, ran to the Amuro detective office with the money in his mouth, changed back into his human form in the bathroom on the first floor, and walked upstairs quickly.
