Chapter 99 Elegance and Means
As the sun set, Uncle Maori and Shiro Suzuki, who were staying at the art museum, had a very pleasant chat. Shiro Suzuki suggested going to a restaurant for a meal, because according to Uncle Maori's reasoning, Kidd would not arrive until three o'clock tomorrow morning.
It's still a long time until three o'clock, so naturally we can't wait like this. Wouldn't it be nice to have a meal and chat again.
Uncle Maori naturally nodded happily. The two of them would have some drinks during the meal, which played into Uncle Maori's wish.
At this time, Nakamori Ginzo and two of his subordinates walked in: "President, it's almost done."
Suzuki Shiro nodded and thanked Nakamori Ginzo for his help.
Nakamori Ginzo stepped forward and picked up the box containing the Egg of Memory.
Uncle Maori asked: "What's wrong? Do you want to move it to the display room?"
"is fake."
Nakamori Ginzo's answer made Uncle Mori a little confused.
Nakamori Ginzo explained: "In the past, we were always honest and stupid and put the prey in a place he knew. The reason for this was that Kidd succeeded."
"But this time, we plan to confuse the public so that Kidd can't find it."
Uncle Maori tapped the palm of his hand: "I see, then where should I put it?"
"It is absolutely impossible for me to tell you." Nakamori Ginzo said in a stern voice, "Only my two subordinates and I know this secret."
"Of course there are two of them." Ginzo Nakamori said as he walked up to his two subordinates and pulled their faces hard to make sure they were not in disguise. "There is absolutely no way those two are Kidd in disguise!"
Uncle Maori stood up and pinched Nakamori Ginzo's face hard, for a very good reason: "Because you might be Kidd in civilian clothes!"
The two subordinates behind Nakamori Ginzo suppressed laughter and raised their heads as if they hadn't seen him.
Nakamori Ginzo, who was pinched a little bit, also had a little temper, and in turn pinched Uncle Mouri's face: "Then, you may also be Kidd in disguise!"
So, just like that, two men who were about to enter middle age started a fierce face-making battle in Suzuki Shiro's office.
Suzuki Shiro, who was sitting on the sofa, was a little surprised by the childishness of the two men.
However, none of them knew that outside a window of the office, there was a pigeon with feathers as white as snow, looking out the window. If you look closely, it seems that there is a radio device on the pigeon's leg.
The stars were twinkling in the night sky. Conan and Hattori returned to the art museum. They had no interest in shopping, but Mitsuyo said he wanted to hang out for a while.
At the entrance of the art museum, a brown-haired woman said to Masato Nishino: "Hello, my name is Natsumi Kasaka, and this is Mr. Sawabe, the butler."
After introducing the two of them, Natsumi Kasaka took out something like a brochure and said: "About the Emperor's Easter Egg in the introduction, we have something to explain to the president."
Suzuki Shiro had already gone to the hotel with Uncle Mori at this time. Nishino Masato said with an apology on his face: "Unfortunately, the president is out. If you don't mind, you can talk to me."
Kasaka Natsumi's matter seemed to be very urgent and important, and she insisted on talking to Suzuki Shiro in person. She asked Nishino Masato if he could get through to Suzuki Shiro.
Apart from Conan taking another look, Hattori did not pay attention to Kasaka Natsumi.
He subconsciously raised his hand and looked at the watch, and said with some surprise: "This is interesting. If three o'clock in the morning is l, then it is a bit like へ now. It is seven thirteen, and it will be seven twenty.
More like that.”
Hattori thought it was just a bit interesting, but Conan had been thinking about the notice letter along the way, and the impression in his mind was very clear. An idea flashed, and he hurriedly shouted to Hattori: "Hattori, Kidd's notice was not at three in the morning, but at night.
It’s twenty past seven!”
After saying that, he dropped his bag, picked up his little skateboard and prepared to go to Osaka Castle. Conan told Hattori to protect the egg.
At this time, a drop of water hit Hattori's face. His mind seemed to open up instantly, and he chased Conan: "The Sky Pavilion is not the castle tower! It's Tsutenkaku Tower!"
"Tongtenkaku?" Conan quickly braked and turned around to listen to Hattori's explanation.
Hattori was very confident: "The top of Tsutenkaku Tower is used to predict the weather!"
....
At the same time, the top of Tsutenkaku Tower
A pigeon flapped its wings and flew to a person. The person's IQ was on his finger. The person wore a white hat, monocular glasses, white clothes, and white gloves. This person was none other than Kaitou Kidd.
Kidd unhooked the radio on the pigeon's leg, grinned, and then stood at the top of Tsutenkaku Tower and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen!"
The place where he was was very high, and the people below only heard the sound vaguely, so they didn't pay attention.
He murmured: "The show will start soon."
"You're really a naughty bitch."
The sudden words surprised Kaitou Kidd. He turned around and glanced, then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why are you here too?"
A man in a red robe and a mask appeared next to him.
"By the way, Guangyou, how did you know I was here?" Kidd felt that his plan would not be discovered easily, otherwise Conan would have arrived long ago.
Guangyou smiled and said: "Your secret code is too obvious, how could I not know it?"
"You're not going to stop me, are you?" Kidd was a little afraid of Guangyou, fearing that he would stop his actions on a whim.
Guangyou really didn't have this idea. Anyway, Kidd didn't commit murder or arson, and he wasn't just idle. He was just here to watch the show.
"That's good." Kidd was relieved to know that Guangyou wouldn't come to cause trouble.
Then, Kidd took out a remote control and pressed it lightly. Instantly, the sky above the castle tower flashed with the light of fireworks.
This grand fireworks display attracted the attention of many people in Osaka, and Shintaro Ochagi who was guarding the castle tower was also a little confused about it.
Uncle Mori and Shiro Suzuki who were drinking in the hotel also noticed this situation. They did not think too much under the influence of alcohol. Shiro Suzuki sighed: "Fireworks!"
Uncle Maori also sighed: "It's so beautiful! The elegance and poetry of summer."
....
Xiaolan and the four people at Dotonbori Food Street also noticed it.
Xiaolan's mood improved a lot with the help of delicious food. She smiled and said, "It's so beautiful!"
Sonoko saw Osaka’s fireworks for the first time: “Osaka’s fireworks are also very luxurious!”
But He Ye was a little puzzled: "It's strange, today is not the day to set off fireworks."
....
In a warehouse in Osaka, Nakamori Ginzo and two of his subordinates also noticed it.
But Nakamori Ginzo disagreed: "Don't make a fuss, that's definitely not Kaitou Kidd. There are still seven hours left before the time he announced, so don't worry!"
Nakamori Ginzo looked at the box containing the Egg of Memory in front of him, full of confidence: "And he would never have thought that this egg would be hidden in an inconspicuous warehouse."
....
Conan and Hattori wanted to stay in the museum to protect the egg and wait for a while, but Nishino Masato's words made them feel bad.
When the two knew that Dan had been taken away by Nakamori Ginzo, their uneasiness became even more intense.
At the same time, Guangyou, who was at the top of Tsutenkaku Tower, looked at the fireworks in the sky and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I like your character very much."
When Guangyou said this, Kidd felt a little cold in his back, and quickly explained: "I don't do anything gay!"
"Tsk, you act like no one wants to be with you. Looking at your face and the same stinky personality as Kudo Shinichi, tut tut." Guangyou's mouth was still so poisonous.
Kidd didn't want to get into trouble with Guangyou, so he continued his actions and pressed another button on the remote control.
The moment the button was pressed, an explosion occurred at the substation.
In an instant, the city that had been bustling with lights just now seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
The whole city was plunged into darkness.
This situation made everyone confused, and the police naturally realized that it was the work of Kaitou Kidd.
Uncle Maori and Shiro Suzuki who were drinking in the hotel were completely unaware that Shiro Suzuki looked at the shining moon in the sky and became interested: "Let's just have a drink by the moonlight."
Uncle Maoli's face was also very satisfied. The prices of these wines are not cheap. He rarely drinks them. He was in a good mood today: "This situation is really elegant!"
Conan's brain was still good, and he instantly understood Kidd's purpose.
