I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

[Phantom Thief 1412...See Part [-]]

???

What is this mess...?

Chapter 47: Phantom Thief...Obi Zaiji?

In the evening, the first thing Sera Masumi did when he returned to the hotel after returning from school was to find Sera Bell and ask about the message sent in the morning.

In the living room of the suite, the tiger-toothed girl used both hands to pull the neck of the young man sitting at the dining table from behind through the back of the chair, and rested her chin on the latter's shoulder. She looked like a coquettish big cat that wanted to be hugged.

Sticker~

"Hey, Berni-chan, have you read the one I sent you this morning?"

"Look at it."

When she said this, Serabel was operating her mobile phone with both hands.

He opened the chat software and clicked on the dialog box with Sera Masumi. The picture was still there in the recent chat history.

Still that poem——

【April fool】

[When the moon separates the two]

【I will hear about the name of the dark star】

[Follow the invitation of the wave and go and receive it]

[Phantom Thief 1412...See Part [-]]

"Yes, yes, that's it. Berni-chan, have you solved the mystery?" Sera's pure tone was all about watching a show.

"Unfortunately, not at all."

Serabel is very honest. If it is not solved, it is not solved.

"I was just about to drive when you sent it to me. I took a look at it and put it away without understanding it. So this... let's call it a poem. What does it mean? And who is this Phantom Thief 1412? ?”

"Humph, you don't know about this, Berni-chan~" the tiger-toothed girl proudly held her chest out.

There is nothing wrong with her action, but the problem is that Sera Masumi is currently lying behind Serabel, with her arms still wrapped around her neck. This chest expansion directly causes a rigid squeeze, pushing the latter The trachea was so tight.

Gan, it’s a little difficult to breathe...

However, the Huya girl was not aware of this and continued to show off the new knowledge she had just learned today.

"1412 is actually the number given to Kaito Kidd by a young mystery novelist more than ten years ago. However, a careless reporter confused it and mistook 1 and 4 for K and I, and changed the following 1 and 2 [-] became D, and eventually it became Kaitou KID, which in transliteration is Kid.”

Sera Masumi laughed.

"However, this mistake can be regarded as a classic. It just so happens that the English verb meaning of KID means 'teasing' and 'prank', which coincides with the style of Phantom Thief 1412."

Well, according to this statement, KID also means a child, so Kaitou Kidd can actually be translated as Kaitou Kidd... Sailor Bell said in her heart.

“We’ve finished popularizing the origin science, so let’s get down to business. What does this poem mean?”

"..."

The living room fell into silence for a moment.

Serabel turned her head in confusion, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a certain tiger-toothed girl with wandering eyes and a cryptic expression.

Finally choked out a sentence.

"Okay, actually I didn't untie it either."

happy……

"Untie what?"

The cold voice of the blond British girl came from the side.

Following the sound, Akai Marie, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen. She held a dinner plate in each hand and looked at the two people huddled together at the dining table with a look of "what are you doing?"

By the way, today’s dinner is pasta with steak, omelette and toasted buttered bread.

Smelling the rich aroma of food, Serabel immediately put down her cell phone, took the dinner and put it on the table, then moved to the left to make way for half a chair.

Akai Marie was not polite and sat down tacitly without saying anything. She squeezed in next to the former and picked up the mobile phone on the table.

In this way, Masumi Sera, who was standing behind the chair, could see the content on the screen through the gap between the two heads.

This position is the optimal solution in theory and practice, but Huya Girl always feels like something is not right.

Where is it...

Forget it, if you can’t think of it, then forget about it.

"How about it, mom, do you understand?"

"Ah."

Akai Marie nodded slightly.

"Although I only understood the first sentence, it was enough. If I'm not wrong, this notice should be just a joke."

"A joke? Why?" The Huya girl was puzzled.

"Look, it's clear in the first sentence." Akai Marie's fingertips landed on the first line of text on the picture, "April fool translates to 'April Fool's Day', and as long as it is linked to April Fool's Day, all information can be viewed Committing fraud."

"Then the content at the end of his letter can also be regarded as false?" Shiliang Zhenzhen thought thoughtfully.

"No, the content of this letter should be considered half-truth and half-truth."

Akai Marie frowned slightly and stared at the following lines of text.

"Although the specific content has not yet been solved, it seems that the specific location, timing and even method of appearance are predicted in the form of a puzzle."

"Eh? But mom, didn't you just say that this was just an April Fool's joke?"

"Yes, but not entirely. I think Kaitou Kidd will appear at the designated point in the manner in his notice, and then look at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the distance from a distance of hundreds of meters as if watching a play. A theft show that is destined to never come, must be too busy to touch the ground."

Serabel then guessed: "Then if someone can solve the puzzle and follow the location specified in the notice, they might be able to find a leftover tablet on the spot with "never gonna give you up" playing on a loop. ?”

"As for this, I don't know." Akai Marie shook her head.

She put down her phone and stood up slightly from the chair. She raised her legs and started to walk towards the kitchen. After taking two steps, she stopped inexplicably and turned her head to look at her daughter.

"I almost forgot to ask, where did this notice letter come from?"

"Ah? This, this was sent to me by my classmate Yuanzi at school. I remember telling my mother."

Sera Masumi nodded her lips and thought for a while.

"It is said that their family was originally scheduled to hold an art exhibition at the Rice Flower Museum this Friday. As for this dark star, it is one of the exhibits. According to Sonoko, it is their family's heirloom, and it is also the largest one discovered so far in the world. Black Pearl…that’s about it.”

"Is that so?"

Akai Marie frowned slightly.

"Are you ready to go then? Given that it is known that the contents in the notice letter will not come true."

"Just~ go and have a look?"

Completely unaware of her mother's displeasure, Sera Masumi pulled on Sera Bell's cuffs.

"Besides, mom, didn't you also say that Kaitou Kidd will show up with a high probability? Maybe as long as we decipher this warning letter, we will know where he will show up. Then we will go to this place. The legendary thief who was active in France 20 years ago and made criminal police organizations in various countries helpless~"

"Well……"

Serabel looked at her, then at the blond British girl on the other side.

Akai Marie already knew what he wanted to say and no longer stopped him.

"Forget it, just don't forget what I said."?

Chapter 48 "Good Girlfriends"

Saturday is a day worth celebrating for most Japanese.

Since Japan has implemented a weekend system since 1948, every Friday means there will be two consecutive days off on the following Saturday and Sunday.

Taking two days off and one day off may seem like just one less day off, but in fact there is a fundamental difference.

One is to work for six days and have one day off, and the other is to work for two and a half days and have one day to rest.

One is that even if you have something to do on the weekend, you can still go out and have fun after get off work on Friday, because there is still one day as a buffer.

One is that after waking up and doing a little house cleaning, I have to go to bed early because I have to go to work the next day.

Just one day difference makes a world of difference.

Therefore, for Japanese people who enjoy weekend benefits, they are quite happy to go out and have fun after work on Friday.

The location is at the Rice Krispies Museum.

At Miss Yuanzi's invitation, Sera Bell slowly walked over after lunch and a while later.

Logically speaking, Sera Masumi would also come with her, but when she passed by the entrance of the shopping mall, a certain Huya girl claimed that she was thirsty and wanted to go in to buy a bottle of drink. As a result, she didn't come out for 10 minutes after entering.

The last thing that came out in my place was a text message sent to Serabel's cell phone.

The general meaning of the text message was that I met my classmates in the mall. I wanted to accompany them shopping for a while, and then I would come over after the shopping was finished. I wanted Labelle to go to the museum alone.

At that time, Serabel's mood was similar to that of Chu Shafei, who was deceived by Fen Gou into visiting Teacher Daye's house in Long Erli.

But there is no way, we can't just stand outside and wait until Sera Masumi comes out... After all, what if it is true?

The art exhibition starts at [-] pm and lasts until [-] pm. There are no strict requirements for admission, and you don't even need to buy tickets. The wealthy Suzuki Zaibatsu doesn't care about the ticket price. If you want to enter, just Just go through the security check set up by the police.

But it was so. When Serabel arrived at the museum on time at two o'clock, there was no long queue at the security checkpoint outside the museum under the sunny sky. It could be said that there was no one at all. All the people who came in and out were all wearing police uniforms. Clothes.

To be honest, Serabel even had the urge to pick up her phone and take a picture and send it to Director Ochiai, who was serving his sentence in prison.

What did you see?Even the free art exhibition held by the Suzuki Foundation in person, and even the family heirlooms were used as a gimmick, no one attended it. Just your little-known small art museum, why do you think anyone would take over it just to lose money?

With such broken thoughts in her heart, Serabel walked straight to the entrance of the museum, and then she was stopped by someone at the entrance.

The person who stopped him was a young police officer who looked like he had only been on the job for a short time. His attitude was very kind and he had no authority.

"Ah, sorry, please wait a moment. Our art exhibition won't start until three o'clock. It's not open yet. Could you please... Huh?"

The words came to an abrupt end, and the young police officer stopped speaking.

The other party's eyes widened as if he had seen some rare animal. He moved slightly closer and stared at Serabel carefully, and then sparkling little stars burst out in his eyes, and he couldn't even speak anymore as he spoke excitedly.

"Then that! Could it be that you are the very famous British young detective recently?"

Ok?

Serabel was a little bit unresponsive by this sudden change. She was stunned for a moment before shaking her head and then nodding.

"He is a British detective, but he is not famous."

"It counts! It definitely counts! This is what our police department said personally!"

Seeing the attitude of the young police officer, he suddenly stood at attention and saluted. He hurriedly took out a small police notebook and pen from his body and handed them over.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Takagi from the Criminal Investigation Section [-] of the Metropolitan Police Department's First Investigation Section. Well...can you please give me an autograph?"

"..."

The corner of Serabel's mouth twitched slightly, and she wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a while, she took it, signed her name in English, and asked casually.

"But, can a magic thief like Kidd be considered a forcible offender?"

"No, he's considered an intelligent criminal. I was just pulled into overtime because of the lack of manpower." Officer Takagi said dryly.

That's fine.

Handing back the small notebook with the name written on it, Serabel pointed to the entrance of the museum.

"I came here at the invitation of Miss Suzuki Sonoko. If possible, can I go in first?"

"Of course! No problem!"

When he said this, Takagi had already stepped aside and was overjoyed with Xiao Benben.
