The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 372: The Essence of Kaito Kidd

The reputation of Kaito Kid is there. Whether it is promoted or not, countless detectives, or police officers, will flock to him.

So, this is the real reason why Kaito Kidd has been able to be active for two generations, from Kuroba Toichi to Kuroba Kaito.

Although Kaito Kidd steals things, his appearances are gorgeous and grand, and he attracts countless attention every time.

And those businessmen and tycoons need exactly this kind of attention.

The relationship between them is like that of a pair of tacit partners.

You bring me attention, and I cooperate with you. As long as you don't push your luck, we'll be fine.

With the help of those chaebols who did not contribute much, and Kaito Kid's own superb disguise skills and excellent physical abilities, it would be impossible for the police alone to catch him.

Therefore, the essence of Kaito Kid is a large-scale reality show that is known to all the top executives.

It was precisely because the higher-ups had realized this early on, and because Kidd, the second-generation comebackist, appeared harmless, that the police search for him was as lax as possible.

You see, Kidd is a thief listed by Interpol, but there is only so much power to catch him.

Perhaps, only someone as persistent as Ginzo Nakamori could persist for more than ten or twenty years.

Speaking of Nakamori Ginzo...

"President Suzuki! How could you allow such an important notice to be freely viewed by irrelevant people?!"

A powerful voice sounded from the door.

The man was wearing a turquoise suit jacket and had a face somewhat similar to Kogoro Mouri. He was none other than Ginzo Nakamori, an inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division.

It really means Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

Although Nakamori Ginzo was not furious at this time, he said seriously with a hint of annoyance,

"President Suzuki, the more people know about Kidd's invitation, the more difficult it will be for us to prevent it."

"Oh, it's okay,"

Suzuki Shiro waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile,

"Anyway, everyone is just looking at it in my office. I guess you can't wear it outside."

Nakamori Ginzo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chaki Shintaro next to him.

"Nakamori, what President Suzuki said is also true. Inspector Hakuba and his men are not outsiders. Mr. Maori has known about the relevant incidents for a long time. I'm sure Hattori and his men will not spread it everywhere."

"Well, okay."

Seeing this, Ginzo Nakamori had no choice but to give up.

In fact, he also knew that although the preview letter of Kaito Kid was not circulated everywhere, the public's ability to find out information was very strong.

At this time, many fans of Kaito Kid have gathered throughout Osaka, ready to watch Kaito Kid's performance.

These little rules don’t really matter.

Of course, Hattori Heiji didn't care what Nakamori Ginzo said. As early as when Suzuki Shiro handed him the envelope, he had already opened it and read the preview letter carefully.

"From the lion at dusk to the maiden at dawn."

"The hour hand without the second hand has reached the twelfth number."

"Descend from the glowing sky tower and take the egg of memories."

"——The magician at the end of the century, Kaito Kidd."

After reading the contents of the preview letter, Hattori Heiji and Conan began whispering to each other.

Bai Masong was also recalling his past memories in his heart while carefully studying the preview letter.

Suzuki Sonoko, who had already read the notice, asked Nakamori Ginzo casually,

"Inspector Nakamori, have you completely cracked this warning letter?"

This preview letter is related to whether she can meet Kaito Kid as soon as possible, so she can't be careless at all.

"We have some small insights, but we also have some doubts."

Nakamori Ginzo said so.

"First of all, I personally think that the phrase 'from the dusk of the lion to the dawn of the maiden' should refer to the period from the dusk of the last day of Leo to the dawn of the first day of Virgo."

"Ah."

Nakamori Ginzo's answer to this question is more in line with everyone's thoughts.

Hakuba Matsu, Hattori Heiji and others also agree with this and feel that the answer to this sentence should be like this.

"I see,"

Maori Kogoro nodded.

"So it's between the dusk of August 22nd and the dawn of August 23rd."

"That's right,"

Nakamori Ginzo continued,

"As for the glowing sky tower, we believe it is the castle tower known as the light of Osaka."

"Eh?"

Xiaolan exclaimed,

"The castle tower, didn't we just go there yesterday?"

"Yes, yes,"

Yuanshan Heye also smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"It seems that I was right to take you there yesterday, otherwise today, I'm afraid the place would be blocked by the police!"

Compared to the other two's focus, Hattori Heiji and Conan were thinking about the answer to the code itself.

"By the way, is it really the castle tower?"

Hattori Heiji frowned slightly.

"Does this explanation seem a bit far-fetched?"

Before Nakamori Ginzo had a chance to explain, Toyama Kazuha had already accepted the answer and helped to explain it.

"How can this be far-fetched? The castle tower is the symbol of Osaka Castle. At the beginning, Mr. Taiko said that the development of Osaka Castle should be like the Osaka Light. What else could it be but the castle tower?"

"That's right!"

Chaki Shintaro also nodded affirmatively at this time.

"The glowing sky tower must be the castle tower. There is no doubt about that."

"However, the hour hand without the second hand reached the twelfth word. To this day, our police force has not been able to decipher this sentence."

As Chaki Shintaro said this, he shook his head with a look of regret.

However, his words made other people present feel a little strange, and Hattori Heiji even looked directly at Hakuba Matsu.

The meaning of the look is very simple. There is a master of reasoning here, why don’t you use him?

Bai Masong was keenly aware of Hattori Heiji's thoughts and patted his thigh gently, indicating that he should explain it later.

Hattori Heiji's performance and everyone's thoughts were just a flash, and Nakamori Ginzo didn't pay much attention, so he continued,

"We came to President Suzuki this time because, on the one hand, we wanted to confirm the security measures with President Suzuki again, and on the other hand, we knew that Detective Maori would be back today, so we planned to listen to his ideas."

"me?"

Kogoro Maori pointed at himself, a little confused.

Although he was listed as a guidance consultant, he was basically just a figurehead during the previous meeting in Tokyo. Why do they want him to give advice now?
