Just then, a voice came from the side:

"Oh dear, really? Talking about people behind their backs is not a polite thing to do, ladies."

Upon hearing the voice, Sonoko and Ran turned around, but before they could see who it was, two bright red roses were presented to them.

"I apologize for breaking our promise yesterday, you two beautiful ladies."

Chen Feng looked at the two with a gentle smile on his lips.

Garden accepted the flowers without hesitation, not forgetting to let out a soft hum:

"Hmph, that's not enough. You stood us up, two beautiful ladies, and you think you can get away with just a flower? You should at least buy us two more cups of coffee."

"Of course, it's my honor."

Chen Feng still had that same smiling face, making it impossible for anyone to feel angry.

Xiao Lan said, "Alright, let's go inside the garden."

"Alright then." Sonoko nodded, and didn't continue the previous topic.

He glanced at Conan, who was still deep in thought, and picked him up, saying, "Let's go, kid, let's go inside."

"Let me go, Sonoko-neechan, I can walk by myself."

Conan struggled fiercely, but to no avail, and could only let Sonoko carry him inside.

The interior of the exhibition at this time.

Officer Chaki, Shiro Suzuki, and the rest of the group all focused their attention on Kogoro Mouri.

"How's it going, Detective Mori? Have you figured out the information in the notice?"

"Uh...ah, almost there, almost there."

Kogoro Mouri gave an awkward smile, scratching his head as he looked at the notice in his hand that had been torn up and then pieced back together.

The notice was torn up by Suzuki Shiro. After seeing that Chen Feng's target was their family heirloom, Dark Star, he was furious and tore up the notice on the spot. But he regretted it as soon as he tore it up and hurriedly had it reassembled, afraid that he might have missed some hidden information.

"The golden sand whispers with the sound of seashells, the goddess's song startles the seagulls on the edge of the clouds... What does this mean..."

Kogoro Mouri grabbed his hair with such force that he almost ripped his scalp off.

Of course, to others, this was just the famous Mori detective's unique way of contemplating. After all, it's not surprising that a detective who can sleep while solving a case would have some other quirks.

"The goddess's singing voice..."

Kogoro Mouri seemed to suddenly remember something, and abruptly slammed the notice on the table:

"I see!"

"Hmm? You understand?"

"You deciphered Kaito Kid's warning letter so quickly. You truly live up to the reputation of the famous Detective Mouri!"

"The Sleeping Kogoro truly lives up to his reputation!"

The people around him praised Kogoro Mouri so much that his lips curled up and his chest puffed out.

"Cough cough!"

Kogoro Mouri coughed twice, and everyone present quickly quieted down, looking at Kogoro and waiting for his explanation.

"Here's the thing, as you all know, there will be a concert by Yoko Okino at the Beika Public Hall in two days, on April 1st! The phrase 'the voice of the goddess' in the announcement refers to this event!"

"Yoko Okino's concert?"

Shiro Suzuki thought for a moment, seemed to think it made sense, nodded and did not interrupt.

"The word 'sea breeze' refers to the Beika Guild Hall near the sea. Therefore, I conclude that the Phantom Thief Kid's operation will take place at 9 PM two days later, after Yoko Okino's concert ends!"

"I see! As expected of Detective Mori!"

"It seems that with Detective Mori around, we're much more confident in dealing with Kaito Kid."

That's absolutely true.

Hearing the praise from those around him, Kogoro Mouri waved his hand modestly, saying, "No, no, not at all." However, the uncontrollable smile on his lips revealed his true feelings.

"That Mori guy is just spouting complete nonsense..."

Conan looked away from Kogoro Mouri with a helpless expression, his lips twitching, but he couldn't think of the right answer for the moment, so he could only stand aside in silence and continue to think.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out:

"But the first line, 'The golden sand echoed with the whispers of seashells,' doesn't seem to refer to nighttime, does it?"

……

Chapter 255 Phantom Thief Detective?

"But the first line, 'The golden sand echoed with the whispers of seashells,' doesn't seem to refer to nighttime, does it?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to look in Chen Feng's direction.

Even Conan looked slightly surprised.

"Chen Jun..."

Ran and Sonoko were also confused. Ran even reached out to stop Chen Feng, but Chen Feng stopped her and gave her a smile.

Kogoro Mouri turned his head and saw that it was a young man who looked to be about the same age as Shinichi Kudo who spoke, and his brows furrowed immediately.

"Another brat..."

Kogoro Mori muttered something, and although his voice wasn't loud, Chen Feng, with his keen senses, heard it clearly.

However, he didn't pay any attention to it, and simply stepped forward and said, "Officer Chaki, and Detective Mouri, I think the content of this notice seems a bit off, doesn't it?"

"you are?"

Officer Chaki looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression.

Inspector Megure, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something:

"Oh, I remember now. Sato and Miyamoto mentioned before that the reason they were able to find the bank robbery's hiding place so quickly was because of one person's help. They even showed me a photo. Was it you?"

"I was just fulfilling my duty as a good citizen."

Chen Feng smiled and replied.

"You're too kind. Although the money in the warehouse had already been transferred by the criminals when we arrived, you will still receive the reward you are entitled to. We have already reported it, and I believe you will receive the reward within a week at most."

"Then I'll have to trouble Officer Nakamori."

Chen Feng and Officer Nakamori chatted back and forth, one sentence at a time.

Xiao Lan and the other person behind them looked completely bewildered.

"Chen Jun... he has this ability?"

Xiaolan glanced uncertainly at the garden beside her, only to see that the gardener also looked bewildered and shook her head.

"I do not know either."

Officer Chaki, who was not far away, gradually relaxed as he saw the two talking, and interrupted them:

"Alright, Nakamori, let's get down to business."

"Yes, Inspector."

Officer Nakamori nodded in agreement, then looked at Chen Feng again and said:

"Mr. Chen, what you just said about the notice letter doesn't quite make sense. What do you mean?"

"That's right. Generally speaking, the 'golden sand' that people understand usually refers to the color of the sand under the sunlight at sunrise or sunset, which, according to the current time, is 5:30 in the morning or 5:30 in the afternoon."

"In addition, there is the whisper of seashells, which I think refers to the sound of waves crashing against the shore when the tide is rising in the morning. At this time, the seashells are submerged by the rising seawater, and thus the sound becomes the whisper of seashells."

"I see……"

Officer Chaki and the others looked like they had just realized something and nodded in agreement.

Only Kogoro Mouri, standing to the side, looked somewhat embarrassed, but fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough to clear his throat twice and say:

"Um... actually, I wanted to say that a long time ago, but I just misspoke."

His shameless behavior made Conan and the others twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Xiao Lan, in particular, turned her face away, as if she didn't know him.

Chen Feng continued speaking:

"The 'Goddess's Song' that follows should refer to the sound of the Sallybeth cruise ship sailing. Therefore, I believe that the time of Phantom Thief Kid's operation should be the morning of the day the exhibition officially opens, and the location should be on the Sallybeth cruise ship at sea!"

That's it!

Conan nodded solemnly, thinking to himself, while also glancing at Chen Feng with a different look.

He had initially thought that Chen Feng's initial interest in Sherlock Holmes when they first met was a joke, but now it seemed to be true, and that Holmes was indeed a capable detective.

Conan pondered to himself, while also considering the possibility of recruiting Chen Feng to help deal with Kid.

If he were really willing, the success rate would be much higher.

Snapped!

A sharp rap on Conan's head sent him sprawling, and he immediately clutched his head, revealing a pained expression.

"Sonoko-neechan, what are you doing!"

"Hmph, looking at you with such a wicked look, I'll nip your improper thoughts in the bud!"

"I……"

Seeing Sonoko's unreasonable behavior, Conan was speechless for a moment. A sense of helplessness, like a scholar encountering a soldier, welled up within him, and he could only turn his head away and stop looking at her.

Not far away.

After pondering for a moment with his chin in his hand, Officer Chaki put on a serious expression and slowly walked up to Chen Feng.

"Mr. Chen, although it may be presumptuous, I would like to formally invite you to serve as our detective consultant for this operation to defend against the Phantom Thief Kid."
