CHAPTER XXI

When Conan and Hattori and I came back from a round of Osaka, Ran and the others were still out and about, and it was already dark. At night, Osaka Castle is lit up with a variety of colorful lights, adding a modern and dreamy color to this ancient city.

"Ah, that assorted pancake is so delicious! Well, and that takoyaki, it's really superb! And udon, by the way, and that seafood hot pot is also good......" I walked with a lot of unfinished business.

"So, Osaka is the best place in Japan!" Hattori, a Kansai native, has a "proud face" that is so beautiful that you can't even find it in the north.

"You two foodies!'re here to catch Kidd, not to play!" Conan looked dissatisfied.

"What, you were the happiest eater just now...... "Hattori and I said in unison.

Conan: "......"

"My name is Natsumi Kasaka. While we were still arguing, a female voice caught our attention, and we saw a young woman talking to Mr. Nishino, who was driving us in the morning, at the entrance of the museum: "This is Mr. Sawabe, the butler, and we have something to say to the president about the emperor's Easter eggs in the profile......

"Unfortunately, the president has already gone out, so if you don't mind, you can talk to me. Mr. Nishino smiled apologetically.

"This picture of the egg is wrong, it's not the same as the painting left by my great-grandfather. The young woman explained.

I'm a little concerned about the girl's words, but now...... Well, Kaito's show is about to start, so it's important to find a place to watch the show. I looked at my watch, and it was almost seven fifteen.

"Oh, this is interesting.,If it's 1 at three o'clock in the morning.,It's 'へ'" Hattori, who saw me looking at my watch, and habitually went to look at my watch, suddenly smiled and said to Conan.

β€œγΈοΌŸβ€

"It's 7:13, and if it's 7:20, it's more like へ. Hattori pointed to Conan's dial.

Conan's face suddenly changed!

Alas, has it been noticed? Kaidou, it's not my fault...... I thought to myself, covering my forehead.

"Hattori! Kidd's forecast time is not three in the morning, but seven twenty in the evening!" Conan snapped as he ran in the direction of the skateboard.

"What are you talking about?!Hey, Kudo, where are you going?!" Hattori was a little confused by Conan's sudden words.

"Osaka Castle! You show me that egg!" Conan didn't have time to say anything to Hattori, and ran out with his skateboard!

"It's raining? The weather forecast says it's sunny...... Ahh

"Tsutenkaku?!" Conan stopped.

"The roof of the Tsutenkaku Pavilion is a weather forecast display with light!"

"What did you say?!"

Alas. I sighed, carried Conan and Hattori behind my back, and called Kaito: "Hey, it's unfortunate, it's collapsed. Hurry up. ”

"It's okay, it's too late for them to know now, Sa, the show is on! On the phone, Kuaito's voice was full of confidence and uninhibitedness.

"It's a great honor. ”

Before Conan and Hattori could recover from the shock of solving the puzzle, the performance of Kaito began, and several unusually dazzling fireworks suddenly burst around the castle tower, which was a beautiful sight on this lonely summer night. However, Hattori and Conan probably didn't have much of the heart to appreciate it.

Although Conan and Hattori had already reacted that Kidd would come to Tsutenkaku, unfortunately, as Kaito said, it was too late to know now, and it was too late to rush to Tsutenkaku now.

"We're lying in ambush here waiting for Kidd to come over. Conan quickly thought of a way and ran towards Mr. Nishino at the same time: "Mr. Nishino, where are the eggs now?"

Officer Nakamori moved it elsewhere. Mr. Nishino said.

"What?!"

Suddenly, the surrounding lights went out at the same time, and the originally colorful night suddenly turned into pitch black.

Is there a power outage? I touched my chin and smiled, what kind of idea Kaito played, anyone with a little brain can think of it. However, this is obviously a little more difficult for a police officer with a brain and muscles.

Conan and Hattori are undoubtedly very cerebral people. This time, Conan didn't even bother to explain, and just jumped out on a skateboard. Hattori couldn't catch up, turned to me and said, "I'm going to chase Kudo on a motorcycle, do you want to come along?"

"Ah, I don't need to, I'm not very interested in that thing. I waved my hand and refused. If you are with them all the time, many things will be very inconvenient. Hattori didn't talk nonsense with me either, turned around and ran out.

So, what should I do now? I scratched my head, a little distressed, looking at Hattori's back. Now that the whole city is in a state of power paralysis, the cars on the street must be jammed, and there is no need to think about taxis, and when I arrive, even the daylilies will be cold. Alas, I knew that I would have hitchhiked with Hattori.

Forget it, go straight to the place where Kaito stays and wait for him. But it's said that I'm going to wait for Kuaito, but I don't know the exact location at all. One thing I do know, though, is that Kaito will definitely retreat against the wind because he's using a glider. Now, well, is it the South? I closed my eyes and felt the direction of the wind. With that up to my mind, I walked outside.

As I expected, because it was a central business district, the streets were jammed with traffic, so I had to pick a small path and walk for a long time before I found a relatively secluded place and intercepted a taxi.

"Where are you going?"

"Keep going south. I got in the car and said lightly.

"Huh?"

"You don't have to worry about it, just keep going south, and I'll tell you to stop when you get there. "I looked out the window at the view and didn't care about the authenticity. Kaito is sure to land somewhere in a secluded and uninhabited place in the south. Since Kaito is here to perform, he must have investigated the weather, wind direction, terrain and other things here, and there must be a vacant lot, warehouse, or dock or something like that, and that's my destination.

"Ah, yes. The driver also stopped talking nonsense and began to concentrate on driving. The driver was quite clever in his car, avoiding the noisy and crowded roads, picking some trails to walk through, there were not many pedestrians and cars, and the car was not too slow.

"Guest?guest?"

"Huh?" I came back to my senses, having been staring out the window in distraction.

"We've already reached Osaka Bay, so we can't go any further. The driver explained to me.

"Oh, well, just park here. I nodded.

When I got out of the car, Osaka Bay appeared in front of me. The bright moon hung alone, and the breeze with a faint smell of the sea caressed my cheeks, making my face more wet and making my originally somewhat hot heart suddenly become a lot quieter.

"Hey, it's me, did you get it?" I asked Kaito by phone.

"Needless to say, I'm a magician in the moonlight, how can a group of beam-jumping clowns withstand me?" said Kuaito's tone with a youthful pride.

"I haven't seen the egg yet, so show it to me before you change hands. I laughed. The last time you looked at the egg at the museum, I was still lying in the lounge, so I never had a chance to see it.

"If you can guess where I landed, I'll show you. "Kuaidou, who had just finished playing the police, had a "big world to go" spirit, which made me a little worried.

"Stop, I've been waiting for you in Osaka Bay for a long time, hurry up. "I pierced his pride mercilessly.

"You're a! I'm glad you're not a cop. ”

"yes, otherwise, my credit for catching Kidd the Monster Thief would be enough to upgrade me from a police officer to a police department. I laughed and hung up.

I sat on the stone steps of the pier, waiting for Kaito to arrive, while boredly playing in the water with stones. The bright moonlight and starlight in the sky sprinkled on the undulating water, the water sparkled, reflecting a dark and uncertain silver light, coupled with the faint sound of the waves in the distance, it seemed quite emotional. If you have the chance, shouldn't you bring Xiao Ai here once? Maybe the environment and atmosphere are all right, and the lifelong happiness of my buddy in this life will be solved. I thought about it by touching my chin. Hawkers, it's impossible, with Xiao Wai's character, how could it be that the three more nervous people ran here with me in the middle of the night...... In the blink of an eye, I gave up on this unrealistic idea.

After about ten minutes, a white figure finally appeared in the sky.

Is it finally here?, I smiled and walked towards the approaching white figure. Suddenly, in the distance, I saw a black figure in a trench coat holding something aimed at the fast fight, the shape was small, not like a heavy sniper rifle.

snet! bastard!

I pulled the ivory pistol out of my arms as I quickly ran in the direction of the black figure, and now it was too late to call Kaito and tell him to dodge, it was up to me!

Running, pulling out guns, shooting! A series of movements were as smooth as the clouds of their peers, and they were not at all out of shape because of the rushing body. In less than a second, my bullets were flying!

"Bang!" I could even feel the bullet spinning in the direction I had specified. I had an almost intuitive instinct when it came to firearms, and I just skipped that step when someone else fired a gun. For me, shooting is just a two-point and one-line process, just like people use chopsticks to pick up things when eating, just look at things and clip them directly, this process does not need to aim. The gun instructor when I was at the base told me that this is called "gun sense", which is usually only found by sharpshooters in the army during wartime, and is now almost extinct.

Unfortunately, I was a little late, and at the same time as I fired, the hand of my black figure trembled at the same time! The white figure flying in the sky suddenly fell from the sky like a bird with folded wings!

I cursed hatefully, thinking about the direction of the black figure, my brother and Hattori must be biting his tail behind Kaito, Kaito will be fine, but I must catch Snet today! Letting such a person around is tantamount to a time bomb!

Snet had hit Kaito, but my bullet had obviously made him suffer, and he ran towards the warehouse on the other side of the dock with his hands on his shoulders. It's a pity that I'm only holding a small ivory pistol, and it's still far from being powerful, bullets, or accuracy, and if I had a sniper rifle in my hand, I'd keep him here forever today!

Although my reaction was very fast, it was only a child's body, and my body couldn't keep up with the reaction at all, and when I got to the place where the black figure was standing, there were only a few drops of blood left in that place.

Looking at the amount of blood on the ground, it's only a little bit, probably just a bruised Cheng dΓΉ, damn it! I don't know how Kuaidou is doing now. I sighed inwardly as I pulled a tissue from my pocket, collected the blood, and carefully folded it in my arms.

Although there is not much blood, it is enough to catch your tail!You'd better get acquainted with each other, get out of the country yourself, and if you don't know how to get around us, you won't have to go,snet sneered in the direction of escape.

When I got back to the museum, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Conan and Ran have already returned, and Hattori has heard that there has been a little accident and is being treated in the hospital. As I expected, Conan arrived at the scene shortly after Kaito was shot down, but he only picked up Easter eggs, pigeons, and a broken single lens of his right eye, and didn't find Kidd. And from the time Conan arrived at the scene to call the police, the police have been salvaging the nearby seas, and they have not found Kuaito. But in this way, I was relieved, because I had already warned Kaito in advance to let him strengthen the lenses, according to Kaito's cautious temperament, it is impossible not to be prepared, and the strengthened lenses will not be broken by the long-range sniping of that kind of small firearm, and the only explanation for the broken lenses left at the scene is that Kaito's golden cicada has broken off its shell.

"However, there was no way to continue the exhibition, and we had to go back to Tokyo to have a thorough and careful inspection of the eggs. In the lobby of the museum, Shiro Suzuki addressed everyone.

"yes, it's a pity, I'm just one step away from catching Kidd, so I really have Mr. Suzuki's trust. Uncle Maori also said with regret on his face.

"Where, Mr. Maori, you are so gracious! You have been very helpful, and I would appreciate it. Shiro Suzuki waved his hand repeatedly.

"Na, when he Yu arrived at the reception room, there were already a lot of people in it, including the girl who called herself "Kasaka Natsumi" and the housekeeper called "Sawabe" that night at the entrance of the art museum, and I didn't know most of the others, and I didn't know most of the others, and I learned that after Conan's whispered introduction, that tall foreign man was the first secretary of the Russian Embassy, Xiru? Ovchinnikov, the man who looked to be in his fifties, was an art dealer and a Romanov dynasty researcher, Miss Pu Siqinglan, and a freelance photographer, Mr. Ryu Hankawa. Actually, I had already met these people at the museum when I was in Osaka, but I was in the lounge at the time, so I didn't know them.

"My great-grandfather's name was Kiichi," says Natsumi Kasaka, "and he worked as a laborer in a factory in Faberuje, where he married a Russian woman, and the two returned to Japan the year after the revolution, and their great-grandmother gave birth to a baby girl, but soon after, my great-grandmother died, and nine years later, my great-grandfather died at the age of forty-five." ”

"That baby girl is ......," Shiro Suzuki began.

"It's my grandmother," Natsumi Kasaka replied, "My grandfather and my parents were killed in a car accident when I was five years old, and I was raised by my grandmother. ”

But the old lady also passed away last month. Sawabe, the housekeeper on the side, interjected.

Anyway, after explaining that the Easter egg of the Suzuki family should be the work of her great-grandfather, Natsumi Kasaka also took out a worn-out and old sketch as proof, and after careful observation, everyone concluded that this was indeed a sketch of the egg of memory. Strangely, however, the size of the egg does not match the picture depicted.

"Could it have been two eggs?" Conan stared at the broken sketch for a long time, and suddenly said in a sudden voice.

"Huh?"

"Because if it's an egg, the outline won't fit. Conan pointed to the picture and said, "Could it be that two eggs were originally drawn on a large piece of paper, and the middle part was missing?" ”

"I see. The crowd began to look closely at the drawings. Conan, on the other hand, is looking at the easter eggs over and over again.

"Ahh

"What are you doing, Conan!" Uncle Maori dissatisfied.

"A small mirror accidentally fell off, hahaha......" Conan laughed.

"What?!"

"Conan !!" Even Xiaolan was scared at this time, this is hundreds of millions of things, if it is broken, he can't afford to sell him.

"Ah, that's okay, that mirror was easy to remove, as if it was installed later. The garden smiled absently.

Conan suddenly turned around and shouted, "Mr. Nishino, please turn off the lights!"

"What do you want to do?!" Uncle Maori said angrily.

But what happened next left everyone speechless. I saw the reflection of the small lens through the watch-type flashlight of Conan, and the appearance of a castle was reflected on the wall!

"This is?!" everyone was surprised.

"Magic Mirror. I said softly.

ps: Alas, I said that I won't be a eunuch, everyone has a little confidence in Xiaoyu's character, okay? (?_?)?。
