Conan's other me

Chapter 222 Detective Kidd

a few hours later.

"Ah, I didn't win!" Ayumi looked regretful.

The computer screen in front of her was showing Suzuki Jirokichi shaking his head regretfully among the sunflowers.

"I thought I would be able to win using the doctor's home network!"

"What, everyone didn't win."

"It's natural that you won't win the draw," Fengyuan said, "because you didn't take a shower or change clothes before the draw."

"What, Feng Yuan, you didn't win either."

"Yes, yes..."

"Someone clearly suggested to the doctor that it was best to take a shower before smoking, but he didn't do anything..." Haibara Ai gave Feng Yuan a narrow look.

"You didn't win anyway," Feng Yuan replied in a low voice, "There's no point in going alone."

In fact, even though he told the doctor so, Maplehara didn't believe in such unscientific things, so he didn't bother to bother with it.Of course, since Haiyuan, who drew first, didn't win, he really didn't have much idea.

"Ah, Mr. Detective is so considerate..."

"By the way, Doctor," Mitsuhiko asked, "What will happen to the picture if you win?"

"The photo you registered at the beginning will be officially registered," the doctor shook his finger at the primary school students. "Then your user name and password will be displayed. Enter these data into the application screen, and the tickets will be mailed in a few days. ”

"Oh…"

"Doctor, you really know this." Conan guessed, "Could it be——"

Under the probing eyes of the primary school students, the doctor instantly put on a proud expression, "Yes, I won! Hahaha..."

"This laughter feels so sinister." Haihara Ai immediately interrupted the doctor's laughter.

"Uh...ahem." The doctor touched his head sheepishly.

When he heard that the doctor had won the ticket, Mitsuhiko couldn't sit still.He stood up, put his hands on the table and begged the doctor: "Doctor, please give me the ticket, I really want to see it!"

"I want, too!"

"Ayumi wants it too!"

"No," Dr. Maplehara Gang refused, "Ms. Fusae happened to have also drawn a ticket."

"what?"

"Ah! That's the super beautiful one..."

"The doctor's first love!?"

The primary school students were stunned for a moment.However, because Fushahui is a very famous brand, they immediately recalled it after having had contact with it, and then they all looked at the doctor in surprise.

The doctor's face instantly turned red, and he defended: "W-what first love! It's just a playmate when I was a kid..."

Haihara Ai cast a contemptuous look at the doctor.

"The doctor is going on a date..." Ayumi said.

"Come on, Doctor!"

"Everyone said it wasn't..." the doctor continued to defend.

"In this case, there is nothing we can do." Mitsuhiko sat back with both joy and regret.

"It's not like there's nothing we can do..." Conan thought for a moment.

……

Although no one except the Doctor was able to win, the young detective team was still able to participate in the sunflower exhibition on the first day because of the relationship between "Kidd's Nemesis" Conan and Sonoko.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, on the first day, the art museum only entertained staff of the Suzuki Foundation and friends of Sonoko, so the doctor and Ms. Fusae did not come together. They had to wait for the second day of the art exhibition they had reserved.

After Sonoko and Suzuki Jirokichi gave brief speeches one after another, the sunflower exhibition admiring Japan officially opened.

At the entrance, after Xiaolan, who was walking at the front, told the staff that their group was going through the back door, they entered the Recklock Art Museum with special invitation tickets.

Sonoko, who was waiting nearby, met them here.

It is worth mentioning that the Raycock Art Museum was improved and constructed from the stalactite cave owned by the Suzuki Foundation.

The building has eight floors above ground, with exhibition halls on each floor, and seven sunflowers are displayed on each floor.

Finally, when the guests gather on the lowest basement floor, the sunflowers originally scattered on each floor will be moved with the guests to the eighth exhibition hall on the top floor using a dedicated elevator.

So the group of them followed the order and started looking at the first sunflower on the first floor.

After admiring the first picture of sunflowers, they walked toward the second exhibition hall through the winding tubular passage.

The sides of the tubular channel are covered with sunflower flowers.

"So beautiful!" Ayumi said happily.

"But these are all fake flowers, right?"

"If we use real flowers, they will wither." Conan said.

"Fake flowers don't matter," Yuanta pinched his nose, "It would be nice if they tasted a little more fragrant."

Feng Yuan also came closer and smelled it.

"It's really strange. I remember that Miss Natsumi didn't say that flavor would be added when she made the proposal." Sonoko pointed her index finger to her chin and thought for a moment, "Never mind this, now let's take a look at the second prize held by our Suzuki Foundation. A piece of sunflower."

The group of people started walking again.However, they were not walking very fast, so Conan also walked closer to the flower bed and sniffed it, and then noticed a large number of surveillance cameras hidden in the fake flowers.

Without having time to think too much, he hurried forward when he heard Xiaolan's greeting.

Feng Yuan responded and glanced ahead, still a few steps behind.

Arriving in front of the flower bed again, Fengyuan fanned the air there towards himself, and then couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.

"What's wrong?" Haiyuan Ai leaned next to Fengyuan and looked at him curiously, "Did Mr. Detective find something wrong again?"

"Hmm...don't you think it has a strange smell?"

"Yes, it has a rosin smell," Haihara Ai glanced at the flower bed, "Maybe you want the artificial flowers to give people a more real feeling?"

Feng Yuan thought for a moment.

"...Don't you think something is right?" Hui Yuan Ai then asked.

"Well, just now Sonoko said that this was Miss Natsumi's suggestion. It is said that she likes Van Gogh's sunflowers very much. I shouldn't be mistaken about the taste, right?"

"She likes paintings, not flowers..."

"Then..." Fengyuan stretched out his finger and dipped some strange liquid into the soil on the flower bed, "What about this?"

Chemist Hui Yuan Ai was startled for a moment, and then like Feng Yuan, he leaned over the flower bed and looked inside.

Hui Yuan Ai's face changed slightly, "turpentine?"

……

When he arrived at the second exhibition hall, Conan realized that Fengyuan and Haibara Ai had disappeared at some point.

Because Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai often fall at the back of the team, Xiao Lan and the elementary school students who were walking in front did not notice this for the time being.After thinking for a while, I felt that these two people might have deliberately left behind to go to the world of two, so Conan didn't take it to heart.

"Look, it's right there!" Yuanzi, who was leading the way, gestured to the sunflower hanging on the wall.

"that is true!"

"Amazing!"

"I've always wanted to see this." Mitsuhiko looked excited.

Sonoko walked towards the painting, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure leaving just now.Before she had time to think about it, she immediately turned back to Xiaolan and shouted: "Xiaolan! Come on, Shinichi is here too!" "Liar!" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment and ran over quickly.

Conan's expression changed greatly and he followed.

"Sonzi, where is Shinichi?" Xiaolan looked around.

The exhibition hall was divided into two halves by sunflowers, and she could barely see the other half.But when she ran over, she couldn't see Kudo Shinichi.

"Sorry, I lost track of him." Yuanzi was a little embarrassed. She just looked back and the man seemed to have disappeared.

"Did he really come?" Conan asked.

"Eh?" Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, "When you asked me that, I only caught it with my eyes."

"Could it be that I saw it wrong?" Xiaolan made a guess.

"But, it could be..."

Conan held his chin and thought for a moment.

The security check when entering the museum is very strict. Not only are there detailed inspections of personal belongings but also X-ray inspections. It is almost impossible to enter the museum in disguise.

So Kidd probably came in disguised as himself who looks exactly like him for some unknown reason...

While he was thinking, he noticed a card falling on the floor.

He quickly ran over and picked it up, and noticed something strange written on it. He turned it over and saw that it was a Kidd card.

Kidd is indeed here, so we have to remind Officer Nakamori and the others...

He looked up and was about to tell Feng Yuan that he remembered that both Feng Yuan and Hai Yuan Ai were gone.Looking at the elementary school students who were still looking at the paintings, Conan ran over and tricked them into looking for Maplehara and the two who should be not far behind them. Then he turned around and ran towards Xiaolan and Sonoko who were still looking for Kudo Shinichi. go.

"It doesn't seem to be here either." Xiaolan, who was walking around nearby, said to Yuanzi.

"Sorry, then I must have read it wrong."

"Sister Xiaolan, sister Yuanzi!" Conan shouted.

"Conan, keep your voice down."

"Take me to the control room quickly!"

"Eh?" Xiaolan and Yuanzi were both stunned for a moment.

"This is Kid's card!" Conan showed the card he picked up to the two of them, "Kid the Phantom Thief has now infiltrated into Ray Kroc!"

……

at the same time.

"I said, can't you change your disguise?"

In a blind spot of the camera, Feng Yuan complained to Kidd in front of him.

This is not the first time Kidd has dressed up as Kudo Shinichi.

As mentioned before, Kidd looks exactly like Kudo Shinichi, but there are some differences in his hairstyle, so he only needs to adjust his hairstyle and he will look exactly like Kudo Shinichi.

Haiyuan Ai glanced at Kidd before losing interest and stood aside to listen to the two talking.

"What?" Kidd raised his eyebrows, "Do you really not want to see me dressing up like you?"

"What do I look like?" Fengyuan blinked innocently.

"You guys are really incompetent," Kidd glanced at Haibara Ai next to Feng Yuan, "I have already agreed to you learning cross-dressing skills, so you are now my junior, right?"

He is the son of Kuroba Toichi, and Kudo Yukiko is his father's student, so the two in front of him should be his juniors.

Kidd thinks so.

"I haven't learned yet." Feng Yuan defended.

"But she learned it. You don't want to become this beautiful young lady's elder, right?"

"Everyone has their own business," Feng Yuan said without changing his expression, "I call you Sister Qingzi, right?"

"...Forget it," Kidd's eyelids twitched, "Why did you call me?"

Putting down Jideka and just as he was about to explore the road, he noticed that his mini-phone was vibrating.That's why he chose to meet the other party here.

In fact, because of Kudo Yukiko, he was already convinced that the guy in front of him was Kudo Shinichi.

Of course, he still felt that the person named Edogawa Conan was also Kudo Shinichi, but this was too outrageous. He still refused to think about it further and did not combine the two guesses.

"Ask what you want to do." Feng Yuan replied.

Rather than guessing like Conan, he thought it would be better to ask Kidd directly, so he called him.Moreover, there might be danger here, and he didn't have time to guess.

……

In the control room, Suzuki Jirokichi and his right-hand man Mr. Goto, as well as Officer Nakamori, Seven Samurai, Xiaolan, Sonoko and Conan gathered here to watch Kidka.

There are two lines of code written on the back of the Kidd card:

[14= (11 people + 1 person) + 2 people]

【15=（11人+1人）+2人+1人】

"What does this mean?" Uncle Maoli asked puzzled.

"If it has anything to do with sunflowers," Officer Charlie said, "then Van Gogh should have painted fifteen sunflowers."

"The fourth, fifth, and sixth paintings," Miss Keiko continued, "are fifteen sunflowers."

"Is there a painting of fourteen flowers?"

"There should be no such painting."

"No," Miss Natsumi objected, "There is a saying that the fourteen and fifteen sunflowers in Van Gogh's painting are the same. In a letter to his brother Theo, he wrote the painting of fifteen sunflowers as Fourteen flowers."

"Then let's say this is pointing to the number of sunflowers," Suzuki Jirokichi said. "What does the number after this mean?"

"If Van Gogh thought there were only fourteen sunflowers in the painting," Mr. Higashi Koji replied, "there is a theory that they may represent the twelve disciples of Jesus plus Theo and Gauguin."

"Yes, that must be the case!"

"What does it mean?"

Miss Natsumi explained:

"Please go back to the card. Eleven people plus one person refers to the twelve disciples of Jesus. Plus two people refer to Theo and Gauguin. The total is 11 people. And if it is an explanation If there are fifteen flowers and one person is added, then it refers to Van Gogh himself."

"Even if this explanation is correct," said Officer Charlie, "the question is, what does this equation mean?"

Sonoko sighed, "Why did Kidd-sama make the notice letter so difficult to understand?"

"The first thing to clarify is, is that Kidd card really the notice letter?" Xiaolan also expressed her opinion.

"Well, no matter what," Suzuki Jirokichi said, "No matter what this Kid card is predicting, just catch the kid and ask him directly. I will seal Kid in Reikrokri."

With that said, Suzuki Jirokichi looked at Officer Nakamori, "I would like to trouble you to assist."

"it is good."

"Goto," Suzuki Jiroyoshi then ordered Mr. Goto, who was managing the console, "let all guests and staff leave the building."

"Yes."

"No need to bother." The door of the control room was suddenly pushed open, and a somewhat familiar voice came from the door.

The people in the room looked toward the door and were surprised to find "Kudo Shinichi" leaning against the door, watching them.
