Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 147 Interpreting the Code
"Haha, it seems to be true..." Conan, who was hit by Xiao Ai head-on, scratched his head and showed an embarrassed smile. While reflecting on whether there was something missing in his childhood, he was also curious about Xiao Ai's changes, why? It feels like the other person is more like a normal person than myself.

Xiaolan's focus is different from Conan's, pointing to a circle of transparent crystals on the inside of the lid and asking: "Is the gem shining inside that half egg?"

"No, no, it's just ordinary glass." Shiro Suzuki waved his hands and explained, "It is said that it was because Russia was in a financial crisis when the 51st Memory Egg was made."

"Speaking of shining, don't you think the 'glowing sky castle' mentioned in Kaitou Kidd's notice letter is very strange, how can Osaka Castle shine?" Hearing the content of the conversation, Hattori Heiji suddenly brought up the topic Come to the goal of this operation.

He Ye, who was beside him, said directly: "Fool, His Highness Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, thinks that the development of Osaka Castle is like the light of Osaka. Why don't you even understand these things?"

"That's right, Kidd will appear in the castle tower of Osaka Castle. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but..." At this moment, Chaki Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo, who were in charge of the guard work, walked in and took the Changed the topic, "'A clock without a second hand goes to the 12th character', this sentence has not yet been cracked."

"Could it be the No.12 character し in the fifty-syllabary chart? In this way, the pronunciation is the same as the pronunciation of 4, which refers to four o'clock?" He Ye boldly guessed.

"No, Kidd's password can't be that simple, it doesn't conform to his so-called aesthetics." Nakamori Ginzo, who thought he knew Kaito Kidd better than anyone else, directly denied this guess.

"Hmph..." At this moment, Mori Kogoro put on a confident look and chuckled, "I see, it's not the syllabary, but the No. 12 letter L of the English alphabet. Project this shape onto the It's three o'clock on the clock!"

"That's right, it's still before dawn at three o'clock in the morning, which coincides with the 'girl at dawn'!" Compared to the guesses of the female high school students, the two police officers still believed in the reasoning said by the famous detective.

Conan feels that Uncle Maori's reasoning is not necessarily the correct answer, but he has not thought of other answers so far, so he can only remain skeptical and take a step forward.

As Ishino, who already knew the answer, he felt that Uncle Mori's reasoning was actually correct, but he lacked some familiarity with Kidd's notice letter, which is quite worthy of recognition.

Since the password in the notice letter had been unlocked, the police began to set up security. Except for Mori Kogoro who had to cooperate with the police, the other young people and children temporarily left the art museum to move freely.

Considering the current situation, Natsumi and Ishino discussed and decided not to mention the egg of memory to Chairman Suzuki for the time being, and everything will wait until the egg is guarded from Kaitou Kidd before making a long-term plan.

After a group of people walked out of the art museum, Hattori Heiji suddenly proposed to act alone with Conan on the grounds that boys and boys were in a group, and girls and girls were in a group.

Xiaolan and Heye thought that the two boys felt uncomfortable with so many girls here, and they didn't force them, but they were a little worried that they would encounter danger like they did when they came to Osaka last time.

Noticing the worried expressions on the faces of the two, Xia Mei suddenly said to Shi Ye: "Mr. Shi, you go and follow them. There are only two minors acting alone. It's a bit worrying. I will accompany them on the girls' side." That's it."

Hearing Xia Mei's words, Ishino agreed, nodded his head and agreed, then turned to the two little detectives and said with a smile: "That's it, I will act together with you, don't you mind?"

Although Hattori Heiji felt that it was difficult to discuss the case-related topics with Conan freely when someone was by his side, but after thinking that Ishino's skills seemed to be higher than the two of them, he immediately put on a warm smile and responded: "How could that be?" , I was wondering how to thank Mr. Ishino for saving his life before, so let me treat you well by taking this opportunity!"

Seeing that the friends had already compromised, Conan had nothing to say, so the three of them, under the leadership of Hattori Heiji, walked all the way through the streets, admiring the customs of Osaka, and tasting various delicacies.

Of course, while visiting, the three of them did not forget to discuss the interpretation of the code, but after trying lists of words in various languages ​​and even the periodic table of elements, they still did not find a convincing answer.

The three of them walked and chatted like this, and the surrounding sky darkened before they knew it, so they started to walk back in the direction of the art museum.

When the three of them walked to the gate of the art museum, Ishino guessed that it was almost time, so he deliberately asked the two of them: "It's getting late, why don't you call and ask the girl how the fun is going, we can get there Meet them."

Hearing Ishino's words, Hattori Heiji habitually raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's really late, but the current pointer is really interesting, if it's L at three o'clock in the morning, it's almost ヘ now. "

"ヘ?!" Conan was shocked when he heard this, and looked directly at the other party's watch.

Seeing Conan staring at his watch, Hattori Heiji stretched out his hand in front of the other party and explained: "Look, it's [-]:[-], if it's [-]:[-] it would be perfect."

"Hattori! Kidd, he..."

"In Kidd's notice letter, the No. 12 word in the first sentence happens to be ヘ, so the actual time of action in his notice is not [-]:[-] in the morning, but [-]:[-]."

Seeing that Conan let himself go as soon as he was immersed in solving puzzles or cases, and forgot the objective fact that there were other people around him, Ishino directly interrupted his self-disclosure behavior, thinking that if you acted so obviously, I would pretend not to be Doesn't it make me look like a fool to find out?
Conan, who was interrupted by Ishino, was taken aback at the time, and then realized that he was about to say something that didn't fit his identity, and his heart was very dangerous.

But at this moment, he was very anxious, and he didn't care about so much, so he hurried to the entrance of the art museum to get the solar skateboard he had left over there, then turned around and greeted the two of them: "Then let's go to Osaka Castle quickly, or it will be too late! "

"That's right, but it's not Osaka Castle." Ishino stopped Conan who was focused on running out and explained, "There should be other suitable places for the sky castle that glows at night."

After being reminded by Ishino, Hattori Heiji immediately thought of the correct answer, and shouted: "That's right! Why did I forget, the most qualified one should be Tsutenkaku!"
