Stay away from Conan.

"This seems... to be the name of an internationally wanted criminal, right?"

I have some impression. Kuroba Kaito couldn't remember the meaning behind this name for a while, but he still had some impression of it.

After all, that should also be the code name of an internationally wanted criminal.

  Therefore, Gao Yuan did not pretend to be profound and said directly:

"This is the name of a killer who has been searching for the treasures of the Romanov dynasty scattered around the world. This killer is very purposeful and is used to sniping the target's right eye.

“So, with the appearance of this ‘memory easter egg’, do you think such a killer would not take any action?

"So, I'm worried that your actions this time might be targeted by such a killer. In addition, the killer has a habit of killing people. You happen to be wearing a monocle on the right side. I think this thing should be the best thing to be prepared for any eventuality."

As he said this, Gao Yuan tried his best to use the limited clues that could be made public at the moment to explain the situation reasonably in order to prevent any accidents from happening.

Of course, Gao Yuan also wanted to hand "Star" directly to Kuroba Kaito, so that with the strength of "Star" it would definitely not be shot through by a sniper rifle. However, if he did so, if "Star" was exposed, his connection with "Kaito Kid" might be exposed.

So, after thinking about it, Gao Yuan had no choice but to give away the lens just in case.

Of course, the best thing would be to capture "Shi Kaobing" in advance, that would be the best approach...

  However, since I know the answer to this matter, how can I rationalize it?

So, after listening to Gao Yuan's story, Kuroba Kaito didn't say anything else. After all, how could a killer who specializes in hunting down treasures of the Romanov dynasty not be indifferent to the "memory easter egg" that appeared this time?

So, just in case, it is not something that needs to be avoided.

However, with everything Gao Yuan showed in this incident, Kuroba Kaito felt more and more that he seemed to know too much about this "memory easter egg", or some secrets about the Romanov dynasty.

Moreover, Kuroba Kaito had a hunch that this guy might know a lot about the killer named "Scooping" -

Just like when I first met him, he was able to directly reveal my identity. I'm afraid this guy will be similar this time...

……

It was almost night in Osaka and the sky was getting dark. When Hattori Heiji and Conan, who were traveling together, returned to the Suzuki Museum of Contemporary Art, the street lights were already on.

Because they were still concerned that the interpretation of the time-related code in Kaito Kid's notice was not correct, they decided to return to the art museum as early as possible to be on the safe side in order to guard against Kaito Kid's sudden action.

After all, although the specific time, that is, the interpretation of the "twelfth word", cannot be determined, the previous paragraph, that Kaito Kidd will act between dusk today and dawn tomorrow, is almost a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, returning to the art museum is the best solution that Conan and Hattori Heiji can think of.

After arriving here, Conan and Hattori Heiji saw fully armed policemen standing at the door, on duty and on standby. As the predicted time period approaches, this scene can be said to be quite large.

  So, watching this scene, because this operation not only involved the police force of Nakamori Ginzo and others from the Metropolitan Police Department, but also the full support of the Osaka Prefectural Police, seeing this formation, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but sigh:

"Hmm... With such a scene, I really can't imagine how the thief could sneak into the art museum and steal the egg. This time, he will definitely return empty-handed! After all, the Osaka Prefectural Police have dispatched elite forces this time!"

Hattori Heiji thought so with great confidence.

"That's impossible to say..."

But Conan shook his head and told Hattori Heiji not to be careless:

  "Given that guy's ability, he might switch people without anyone noticing at any time..." Conan looked at Hattori Heiji beside him and said jokingly:

"For example... maybe you are the one who was switched now!"

"Hey! What nonsense are you talking about, Kudo!"

Hearing that Conan actually doubted him, Hattori Heiji put his hands on his hips with an unhappy look on his face, lowered his head and looked at Conan and said:

"Besides, I know your identity, so it's not a disguise, right?"

Because there were not many people around, Hattori Heiji still subconsciously called Conan "Kudo", so Hattori Heiji said this to indicate his identity.

But Conan shook his head and denied it:

"Hehe... that thief already knew my true identity..."

Conan was a little helpless. He recalled the first time he encountered Kaito Kid. He first met him on the roof of a building and revealed his identity as a detective. But the next time, on the cruise ship of the Suzuki Group, the thief actually guessed his true identity. So...

Conan still feels very distressed about this matter.

  And so, after hearing Conan say that Kaito Kidd already knew his true identity, Hattori Heiji was very surprised. Then he thought about it and couldn't help laughing:

"So, you did a really bad job of keeping your identity secret! Not only was I able to see through it, but even a thief like that could see through it...

"Come to think of it, only that stupid detective uncle and your childhood sweetheart were able to spend so much time with you without noticing anything unusual..."

In response, Conan just laughed and said with an embarrassed look:

"Uncle Maori is right...but Xiaolan..."

"Hey?"

Looking at Conan's reaction, Hattori Heiji was a little surprised:

"Could it be possible... that even she..."

"Ran had guessed it, but Mr. Akechi and Haibara helped to cover it up. And..."

Speaking of this, when Conan mentioned this issue again, his expression was a little serious -

Because, more than once...

Now, deep down in Conan's heart, he is actually a little unsure whether Xiaolan really doesn't doubt him, but because Xiaolan has never shown anything, Conan can't make any judgment and can only think that Xiaolan doesn't know...

"Hey... Kudo..."

However, just as Conan was thinking this, Hattori Heiji seemed to be thinking about something and said to Conan:

"They both have such amazing disguise skills, do you think... there is a connection?" (End of this chapter)
