"This is the message left by the phantom thief Kidd. There is no doubt that it contains the time and place of Kidd's appearance." Officer Nakamori tapped the screen with a pointer and said so. "So far, we have parsed out the core content."

"Libra, here should refer to the [Libra] in the constellation, that is, from September 23 to October 23, a total of 31 days. And everyone knows that the [pointer] of Libra is the one in the middle that points to the dial, The needle that shows whether the left and right are balanced is in the middle of the Libra. In this case, the so-called [Libra's needle] is the 16th day in the middle of Libra's 31 days, which is October 8."

"A clock without a second hand reaches the 11th word. There are several possible interpretations of this thing, but no conclusion has been reached yet."

"Our initial view was that, in the most obvious way, the phantom thief Kidd might be dispatched at 11 o'clock in the evening - but if this is the case, it is inconsistent with Kidd's implicit way in the past."

"After that, we started to consider the second possibility, that is, the pointer touched the 11th word. Considering that the rotation speed of the hour hand and the minute hand is 1:12, then when the pointer touches the 11th word, it is At about 0:44 – the hour hand touches the [2] at 12 o’clock, and the minute hand touches 10 numbers from the [2] at 12 o’clock to the 9 at 9 o’clock.”

"The third possibility is the English solution proposed by Maori detectives. The 11th English letter is K, and this may be a clue about the time. The date October 8 is displayed on the dial in an approximate way, which is Sometime around 9:38. (The hour hand is close to 10 and the minute hand is close to 8, and the distance between the two is exactly 60 degrees between 10 and 8)”

"We all know that the way the letter [K] is recognized is that there is a vertical that runs horizontally down, and the two diagonal strokes have the same angle as the vertical. Therefore, we extend the hour hand point at 10 (because of the diagonal direction of K The stroke is longer than half of the total vertical length, so it is reasonable to think that this long bar represents the minute hand.) To the opposite side, construct the time predicted by Kidd, and make the minute hand correspond to the position of the hour hand."

"Assuming that the angle between the hour hand and the zero point at 10 o'clock is a degree, then according to the instructions of the Maori detective, you can use the shape of [K] to construct 3060-10a=12a-3240, and solve a=3150/11 degrees, It's about 286 degrees. And the Kidd forecast time constructed by this solution is - 3:32:43."

"Excuse me, is it 3:32 in the afternoon or..." At this moment, a police officer in the audience asked.

"It descends from the bright sky pavilion, and the building usually only sparkles at night, so I think it is more reliable to set the crime time at 3:32 in the morning?" Officer Nakamori motioned everyone to look at the third row. "Well... Since I have already mentioned this, let's move on to the third line. At present, it seems that there is no specific direction, but... Speaking of having the two characteristics of [天] and [pavilion] The well-known building of , the natural idea is [Tianshu Pavilion], right? [Sky], and it is also a pure [pavilion], which just fits the meaning of the word."

"However, what if the inference is wrong? If we put too much power into the place where Kidd appeared..." In the audience, other police officers raised objections.

"That doesn't matter, because in the end, Kidd is going to steal the treasures under our control," Officer Nakamori showed a confident smile. "No matter where he appears, it's not the most important thing, because the final main battlefield is where we store our treasures - and we will never place them in any place related to [Heaven], so in the end Kidd will Come to our core defense area, which is the [Suzuki Museum of Modern Art] where the treasure is about to be exhibited. The defense in the Tianshou Pavilion is essentially just an outpost. It is naturally the best to control Kidd, and it does not matter if you cannot control it. ."

On October 7th, on the train from Tokyo to Osaka.

"So, is this [Egg of Memories] the Emperor Restart Egg made during the time of Nicholas II?" Lying on Chiba's lap, Haibara Ai closed her eyes and asked—before One night she was so busy that she didn't sleep well and was extremely tired. "Tell me a story about it."

Obviously, Haibara Ai didn't really want to know anything, but mainly just wanted to slowly fall asleep in the sound of Chiba's storytelling.

"Between 1885 and 1917, the workshop of Karl Gustavovich Faberge built for the Tsarist Russian royal family... According to what is known, there were 52 Easter eggs. This [egg of memory]... if it was If it's authentic, it should be the 53rd easter egg out of 52."

"The first Easter egg ordered in 1885 was called [The HenEgg], which is a little hen egg - it was an ordinary egg that was not royal enough to be just white enamel on the outside, but there was a delicate little hen hidden inside. The exquisite egg. Even more extraordinary, if you take the golden hen apart, you can also find a mini-diamond crown and another small ruby ​​egg inside.”

"Such exquisite craftsmanship immediately moved Queen Maria of Tsar Alexander III - because Maria was a Danish princess before marrying into the Tsarist royal family~www.readwn.com~ and Faberge happened to be through The re-creation of the Danish-style Easter egg resulted in this Russian-inspired Danish egg, which finally succeeded in satisfying Queen Maria's homesickness."

"Under such circumstances, the Tsar was very happy and asked Faberge to continue making a new Easter egg for the Empress every year. After his death and his son Nicholas II succeeding, Nicholas Not only continued the practice of preparing an Easter egg for his mother every year, but also began to prepare Easter eggs for his wife. Before the fall of Tsarist Russia, Faberge made a total of 52 eggs - the last two Easter eggs, that is, [Karelian Birch Egg] (KarelianBirchEgg) and Blue Alexei Constellation Egg (BlueTsarevichEgg, where Tsarevich means {Tsar, especially the eldest son of the Tsar}

"But to be honest, I still have some doubts about the authenticity of this so-called 53rd easter egg... This [Egg of Memories] is unlikely to be delivered to the tsar in the other 50, while the 51 and 52 are not It wasn't finished in time. If it's the real thing, what's it like among all the czarist eggs—"

Qianyu suddenly stopped talking, but looked at the girl who was already asleep on her lap with a gentle expression.

Opposite them, although Conan was just staring at a copy of Sherlock Holmes, Maurilan was looking at the two of them with some envy.

[His words... Probably can't do such a thing? 】 She even thought a little discouraged.
