Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Photographer Han Chuanlong's undisguised laughter reached the ears of those present, as he casually pointed his camera at the two arguing individuals and began filming.

"It seems like filming people is much more interesting than filming the egg."

Then he looked at Pu Siqinglan beside him:

“Miss Pu Siqinglan, as an expert on the Romanov dynasty, you should be the last person who wants the Emperor’s Easter egg to fall into someone else’s hands, right? Don’t you want to try and win it?”

"I really don't want this treasure to go to someone else, but unfortunately I don't have that much money, so there's nothing I can do."

"Alright, everyone."

At this moment, Shiro Suzuki spoke up: "Let's talk about this egg another day."

“Alright, in that case, I’ll take my leave.” Sileo bowed slightly to Suzuki Shiro, then picked up his suitcase and walked out.

Seeing this, the others also gathered their belongings and prepared to leave.

"Miss Pu Siqinglan."

Chen Feng's voice suddenly came, causing Pu Siqinglan to stop and look behind her.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If there's a chance, let's have a good chat. It's been a long time since we've met someone from our hometown. I think we'll have a lot to talk about."

Pu Siqinglan did not reply, but simply nodded slightly, then turned and walked out the door.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. Please have a seat."

Shiro Suzuki gestured for everyone to sit down, then called out to the outside. His secretary, Nishino, who had been waiting outside, immediately came in, carrying a box.

"President," Nishino greeted respectfully.

"Ah, Nishino, you can just put the things on the table."

"Yes, Chairman."

Nishino carefully placed the box on the table before leaving the room.

Of course, no one noticed that when the box was put down, "Nishino" looked up and made eye contact with Chen Feng for a second before leaving.

"Placement complete." After leaving the room, "Nishino" typed these words in a secluded corner, then pressed the send button and put his phone away, pretending nothing had happened.

Inside the president's office.

Shiro Suzuki had already opened the box, revealing the oval-shaped Easter egg inside.

"This egg..."

"It looks quite ordinary, not as beautiful as I imagined."

"indeed."

Ran and Kazuha started talking, one after the other.

"It was just average to begin with," Sonoko said matter-of-factly.

"When I was little, I played with this as a toy for a while, but I got tired of it after a short time and put it back."

"Forehead……"

Hattori Heiji and the others' lips twitched.

Treating a treasure worth 800 million, which outsiders are clamoring to buy, as a toy is truly...

"Can this egg be opened?" Conan suddenly asked.

"Ah, yes, I didn't expect you to have figured that out."

Shiro Suzuki reached out and gently pried open the Egg of Memories. A slit immediately appeared in the middle of the egg, and then the entire egg split in two along the slit, revealing what was inside.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaim as she looked inside.

Inside were golden miniature statues of people: two adults and five children, a total of seven figures, all with lifelike features. All seven were looking at a book, seemingly reading together.

"There's another little trick here."

Shiro Suzuki took out another small key from the box and gently turned it in the lock of the Egg of Memories.

The originally static interior immediately came to life, with the statues of seven little people slowly rising and the golden books in their hands being opened, as if they were truly a family reading together.

"Amazing!"

Kazuha couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined that craftsmanship from nearly a hundred years ago could reach such a level. It's truly incredible."

“Indeed.” Xiaolan nodded in agreement.

"What I'm more concerned about right now is the thief's advance notice."

Hattori Heiji put his hands behind his head and said, "What did he mean by the glowing sky pavilion in his announcement? Does Osaka Castle glow?"

"Fool!"

Kazuha, hands on her hips, spoke without any politeness:

"The luminous sky tower is naturally the castle tower. Taiko, who built Osaka Castle, believed that the development of Osaka Castle was like the light of Osaka, so he said that the castle tower is 'luminous,' rather than luminous in the actual sense."

"That's how it is..."

A sound came from the direction of the door, and everyone looked in that direction.

Officer Chaki and Officer Nakamori walked in:

"Kidd will appear in Osaka Castle's main tower, as expected."

The contents of the announcement have now been largely deciphered, except for the phrase "the clock without a second hand reached the 12th," whose meaning remains unclear.

"Could it refer to the twelfth kana in the Japanese syllabary?" Kazuha asked tentatively.

"Ok?"

The group glanced sideways at Kazuha.

Xiaolan even counted on her fingers and said, "The twelfth kana is pronounced [si]. Does that mean the time in the notice refers to four o'clock?"

Officer Nakamori shook his head:

"Unlikely. Based on our past understanding of that thief's habits, he would either not leave any mystery in the notice, or he would leave something more complicated. This is too simple, which is not like his style."

……

P.S.: I'd love to receive some small gifts!!!

Chapter 327 Xiao Lan, Deeply Suspicious

"Ah! I see!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up with a confident expression:

"The so-called 12th letter actually refers to the 12th letter of the English alphabet, [L]! With [L] on the dial, the minute and hour hands point to [3] and [12] respectively, which should indicate 3 a.m.!"

"It makes sense!"

Suzuki Shiro nodded thoughtfully: "As expected of Mr. Mori, who is known as a famous detective, his abilities are indeed outstanding."

"Haha, you flatter me."

Kogoro Mouri waved his hand in a show of modesty, but the smile he couldn't suppress revealed his true feelings.

Conan couldn't help but glance at Kogoro Mouri, pondering to himself, "The English alphabet... seems a bit too simplistic, doesn't it?"

Sonoko's gaze fell on Chen Feng, who was idly fiddling with the Emperor's Easter Egg, and she said teasingly:

"Chen, what's wrong with you? Has your soul been completely bewitched by that Miss Pu Siqinglan? You haven't said a word, haha."

Yuanzi's voice was not low, and it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her, focusing on Chen Feng.

Chen Feng wasn't embarrassed at all. He put down the Easter egg in his hand and smiled at the garden:

"How could that be? My soul was already captivated by a beautiful lady here, and no one can take it back."

Chen Feng's gaze was tender, almost electrifying, causing Sonoko's face to flush instantly.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting!"

Sonoko quickly averted her gaze and blurted out something incoherent.

“What are you thinking? I’m talking about the lady statue inside this Easter egg. It’s so exquisitely crafted, it’s simply breathtaking.”

"List!"

Sonoko angrily lunged at Chen Feng, as if she wanted to fight him to the death.

"The garden is ready."

Suzuki Shiro said with a helpless expression, "Stop messing around, there are still people here."

"Humph--"

Seeing her father speak, Sonoko could only let out a soft snort and sit back down.

Suzuki Shiro then turned his gaze to Chen Feng and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you have any insights?"

"I wouldn't call it insight, I just feel that Mr. Mori's words... seem to have a slight problem."

"Ok?"

As soon as Chen Feng said this, everyone present turned to look.

Kogoro Mouri was so anxious he almost jumped up and down: "You brat, do you have a better explanation than mine?"

"Dad," Xiaolan called out in dissatisfaction.

Conan and Heiji Hattori also looked at Chen Feng, waiting for him to say something next.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you ask me, the so-called '12th character' doesn't necessarily have to be an English letter or Japanese kana. It could also refer to... a sentence in the notice..."

"A certain sentence in the notice?"

Everyone present was somewhat bewildered.

Conan's eyes widened suddenly: "I understand!"

"Ok?"

"In the first sentence, the twelfth character is the kana 【へ】 (from the lion of dusk to the maiden of dawn).

If we consider the two lines of the character 【へ】 as the hour and minute hands of a watch, then this time should refer to 7:20 PM on August 22nd!
