I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Oh here it comes... uh..."

In fact, Serabelle had already seen her and was about to walk over, but Sonoko seemed to think he was walking too slowly, so she quickly walked over, grabbed her arm and ran straight to where she had been standing before.

There was also a middle-aged couple there.

The man was a fat middle-aged man with a very kind face. Like Dr. Agasa, he wore a pair of round-framed glasses and had two carefully trimmed Polo-style mustaches above his lips. At first glance, he looked like a typical wealthy man.

The woman was a well-maintained beauty. Even in her elegant kimono, it was not difficult to see her graceful curves. She had short black hair with slightly curled ends, and delicate facial features with a teardrop mole perfectly adorned at the left corner of her eye.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

"Dad, Mom! This is the Sera-kun I told you about. He's the older brother of my classmate Sera!"

"Oh, hello, Sera-kun. My daughter Sonoko has been talking to me about you a lot lately."

Hearing his daughter's voice behind him, Suzuki Shiro immediately turned around and spoke gently.

Although Suzuki Tomoko didn't say anything, she smiled politely, and when she pursed her lips slightly, she looked a bit like Tomie.

"Hello hello~"

Since the other party didn't make the conversation too formal, Serabelle just greeted him casually.

Then he turned to the garden beside him.

"By the way, Masumi met her classmates on the way to buy drinks, so she will be here a little later."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay..."

Sonoko said this subconsciously, and it was not until three seconds later that she suddenly realized that she really did not see the other person. She could not help but look around Serabelle twice.

"Hey, Masumi-san really didn't come?"

"?"

So you didn't notice it at all.

Chapter 49: Radio waves, right?

"Didn't I tell you? Be sure to pay attention to the river, the river!"

Still in the conference room, a sudden voice from not far away interrupted the conversation.

The person who was speaking loudly was a tall officer from the Metropolitan Police Department. Judging from the brown suit he was wearing, which was completely different from the uniforms of other ordinary police officers, he should be the person in charge or the commander-in-chief here. At this moment, he was constantly giving orders to other police subordinates in the meeting room.

"All of you go to guard the river. You must keep a close eye on the river at all times! Remember, Phantom Thief 1412 is planning to invade the museum from the nearby Tsutsu River. Do you understand?"

The loud voice echoed throughout the conference room and attracted everyone's attention.

After hearing the second half of the sentence, Shiro Suzuki also turned his gaze, walked over quickly, and a very happy expression appeared on his face.

"Sir, does that mean the code has been solved?"

"Ah, that's right!"

Chaki Shintaro, who was scolding his subordinates just a second ago, turned around and said.

"According to the notice, 'Invitation with the Waves' is undoubtedly referring to the Tsutsu River next to the art museum. After all, there is no other place in this area that can be called a river except the Tsutsu River!"

Well, at first glance it sounds very plausible and convincing.

Serabelle nodded secretly in her heart. If we ignore the words "celebrating April Fool's Day in advance" at the beginning of the notice, a normal person's first reaction when seeing this sentence would be to think that it was an invasion by water.

Of course, this only makes sense logically.

But if you look at it from a practical point of view, you'll find that... well, boy, it's all bullshit.

Not to mention that almost all security systems in places like museums have been strengthened and upgraded, the iron fences at the drain outlets are not as easy to cut open as the Humane Laboratory in Los Santos.

Just for the fact that you have to go by water, you have to get out of the water. There are so many police officers responsible for security walking around in the venue, and they think others can't smell the strong smell from the drainage pipes on their bodies?

“Hee…Pfft, hahahaha!”

As if he had the same idea as Serabelle, when he heard Inspector Chaki's analysis, Kogoro Mouri's cheeks puffed up, and he burst into laughter with an undisguised mockery in his laughter.

Chaki Shintaro was a superintendent after all and he had to maintain his reputation. When he realized someone was openly laughing at him, his face turned pale and he looked in the direction of the voice in dissatisfaction. When he saw the face clearly, he was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly.

"You... I remember you were Mao Li who used to be in Class 1?"

"You are so naive, Superintendent."

Kogoro Mouri approached step by step. He ignored the questioning look of Shintaro Chaki, turned around and pointed at Serabel beside Sonoko.

"Hey, detective boy over there! Aren't you very good? How much have you deduced about that notice?"

"Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea."

Serabelle told him frankly that although he now knew the meaning of the first sentence, that was deduced by Akai Mari, so it could not be counted as part of his reasoning.

"But since Detective Maori said so, I guess you have already figured it out?"

"That's natural!"

Feeling that he had whetted everyone's appetite and become the focus of the audience, Kogoro Mori puffed out his chest a little proudly.

"Don't you understand? Waves refer to the ocean, and when we mention the ocean, we think of the wilderness. Then stars refer to the idol star Okino Yoko who will be holding a live concert at the Beika Public Hall near here tonight!"

"what?"

A question mark slowly rose above Serabelle's head.

He knew Yoko Okino, a popular female idol star with long brown wavy hair and a very pretty face.

The main reason is that there is no way not to know her. As the saying goes, the more famous you are, the more traffic you have. At least in the central area of ​​Tokyo, you can see the advertisements she endorses playing on the big outdoor screens in shopping malls almost everywhere you go.

But why does the ocean remind us of wilderness? And isn’t the dark star mentioned in the preview the name of the Suzuki family heirloom? What does it have to do with the star in the idol star?

Excuse me?

It wasn't just Serabelle, but everyone in the conference room, including Conan next to her, who was stunned.

Maori Kogoro continued, "Also, the last song of Ms. Okino Yoko's performance tonight has been confirmed to be Moonlight Girl, which is hinting at the phrase when the moon separated the two! In summary, Kaito Kid will appear from the Beika Public Hall at the end of the concert tonight at 9 o'clock, and then come to the Beika Museum to commit this theft!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

It was so shocking that the whole conference room fell silent in an instant.

Serabelle was also stunned for two or three seconds before she reacted: "Okino Yoko is pushing someone alone?"

"That's right! I'm Miss Yoko's biggest fan!"

Kogoro Mouri straightened his chest again, and the tip of his nose also raised higher, the main expression was pride.

"So, Detective Maori, are you sure this is really a puzzle of deduction and not an analysis of radio waves?" Serabel said hesitantly.

"What do you mean?"

Realizing that he was being questioned just like Chaki Shintaro half a minute ago, Maori Kogoro suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"What I mean is..." Serabelle tried to make her tone sound as tactful as possible. "If he wasn't a die-hard fan of Ms. Okino Yoko, it would be impossible for him to know so clearly what the last song of tonight's performance is. But if it is really as Detective Maori said, it means that this Kaito Kid is actually a die-hard fan of Ms. Okino Yoko?"

"Uh……"

Kogoro Mori paused, a little embarrassed appeared on his face for a moment, but then he became confident again.

"That's normal, isn't it? Ms. Yoko is so famous, even the famous Kaito Kidd might be impressed by her charm, right?"

It's ok to force yourself to justify it...

Serabelle held his forehead in his hand. He no longer wanted to discuss with this sloppy old man who was responsible for making people laugh.

"Well~ Actually, what Mr. Maori said makes sense. Everything is possible. It's always good to be prepared..."

At this time, Shiro Suzuki wanted to come forward to smooth things over, but was interrupted by his wife with a gesture. He could only shrug his shoulders and go aside to wait for his punishment.

Tomoko Suzuki stepped in front of her husband and her eyes passed over Kogoro Mori and fell on the Metropolitan Police Department's Inspector.

"Well, everyone from the Metropolitan Police Department, the security of the museum exhibition tonight will be left to you."

"I understand. I will do my best!"

Since Chaki Shintaro could be a superintendent, he certainly couldn't be a complete fool. He knew as soon as he heard it that Mouri Kogoro's reasoning could not stand up to analysis at all. He immediately continued to deploy his men to defend according to his previous plan.

After all, their mission today was to help the Suzuki Group defend the Dark Star, not to capture Kidd and bet on the Dark Star.

The unexpected incident passed, and the conference hall returned to its previous state, with everyone busy with their own things.

Serabelle took advantage of this time to come to Conan's side and glanced at Xiaolan who was not far away complaining that her old father was embarrassing himself by talking nonsense in public.

"So, you figured out the notice letter?"

Chapter 50: Serabelle

"No, there is absolutely no solution."

Very rarely, Conan, who always regarded himself as the best high school detective in Kanto, also showed a helpless expression this time.

There is no way, there is really no solution.

"Just like you said, this type of code is completely based on radio waves. It is impossible to decipher it before the radio waves are aligned."

"Since we're talking about radio waves anyway, maybe what Detective Maori said is correct?" Serabel teased.

"…If I can guess a solution like his, I won't be a detective anymore."

"Hey~"

There is one thing to say, indeed.

The two of them were still whispering in the corner, and on the other side, Sonoko wanted to talk to Serabelle, but when she turned around, she found that she was gone. When she turned around again, she saw that the latter had squatted with a glasses-wearing kid, doing something. She couldn't help but quickly walk behind the two of them, pouting and putting her hands on her hips, a little unhappy.

"Really? What are you talking about? Let me hear it, too."

Huh?

Conan's head shrank slightly, and when he looked up, he saw Sonoko standing behind him, looking down at him. It seemed like she was going to question him, so he quickly waved his hands and decisively switched to a child's tone.

"No, nothing... nothing, I was just discussing with Brother Sera whether we should go out for a meal later. After all, Brother Sera has only been in Japan for a short time. There must be a lot of delicious food in Tokyo that we haven't tried yet, right... haha..."

After listening to this, Yuanzi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, what you said does make some sense."

Then she stood up and turned to her good friend Xiaolan who was accompanying her old father Mouri Kogoro not far away, raised her voice slightly and waved.

"Lan~ I'll leave this to Uncle Maori and the police. It's almost half past two. Do you want to go out for something to eat?"

Eat...

eat?

The words that he had just said not long ago passed through his mind like a weak electric dragon. Conan, who had been scratching his head and pretending to be stupid in the last second, suddenly changed his expression.

He walked past Serabelle and Sonoko with his short legs and went straight to the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room, leaning against it to look out. Then he raised his wrist, aimed the hour hand of his watch at the sun, and slowly adjusted the direction.

"…Are you checking the direction?"

Serabelle followed with her hands in her pockets, poked her head out from behind and asked curiously.

This is a very common means of determining direction when there is no compass and the sun is shining during the day.

Since Japan is in the northern hemisphere, if you want to confirm the direction, you only need to point the hour hand of the watch at the sun. At this time, the middle of the angle formed by the hour hand on the watch and the twelve o'clock is the due south direction.

The principle is simple, but at this time, we need to confirm the direction and what exactly is going on...

"Well, you could say that."

As the direction he faced changed, the corners of Conan's mouth rose more and more.

"Speaking of which, I have good news now. Do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to." Serabelle was indifferent.

"...I roughly know what Kidd's notice letter means."

"I do not believe."

"Tsk, it's true..."

Conan smacked his lips, secretly glanced back at Xiaolan and Sonoko who were discussing where to eat not far away, and raised his hand to pull at Serabelle's trouser leg.
