I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

"Come on, let's talk somewhere else."

"Don't go."

Serabelle flatly refused and glanced sideways.

"Besides, didn't I say I didn't want to know? Why do you have to tell me?"

"you……"

Conan's eyes widened and he choked.

This feeling is really frustrating, as if you have finally discovered the ultimate secret of the world and can't wait to share it with others, but you look around and find that no one can share this secret.

Oh, actually it’s not that exaggerated. There are still people like that, but most of them are not very suitable.

For example, if he told Xiaolan about it, Xiaolan would immediately start to doubt his identity.

If we tell the police, they will not pay any attention to a child who looks like he is still in the first grade of primary school.

As for Kogoro Mori...well, it's good enough that he didn't get hit by the iron fist.

But the only guy who could share went even further. He covered his mouth with one hand and told him - don't say it, I don't want to listen.

How can you not want to listen?

Forget it, forget it.

"Kaito Kid will appear at the Haido Hotel tonight, probably between 12:30 and 4:00 in the morning," Conan said dryly.

Shit, even though I said it out loud, I felt even more aggrieved, as if I was begging to tell him.

"Beihu Hotel?" Serabel was stunned.

Isn't that where they live now?

In fact, Serabelle was just surprised at the accuracy of the location chosen by Kid, but Conan understood this surprise as incomprehension and disbelief.

He suddenly felt better again.

"Well, do you want to know how this result came about?"

Then Serabelle shook her head slowly and firmly.

hiss--

Conan gasped inwardly, feeling his blood pressure rise.

You just won't listen to anything, right?

"Forget it, just say it." Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable, Serabel changed the topic.

"..."

Conan swallowed the blood in his throat silently, glanced at the two girls who were still chatting not far away and didn't notice him, then he spoke.

"Let me put it this way. The 'two people' in the second sentence of the notice [When the moon separates the two] actually refers to the sun and the artificial satellite. The moon separates them refers to the lunar eclipse that occurs when the moon is between the artificial satellite and the sun, which happens to be between 42.3: and : a.m. when the BS broadcast is interrupted. This also coincides with the B and S at the beginning of the English word "black star" in the third sentence [I will hear the name of the dark star]. And the last wave in [Follow the wave's invitation and go to receive it] does not refer to the Tsutsu River next to the museum as Inspector Kamiki interpreted, but to the radio waves, which means that Kaito Kid will appear from the direction of the BS radio waves, and the BS radio waves are emitted from a distance of degrees above the horizontal line at degrees south to west. Judging from the location of the Beika Museum on the map, the only building that meets this condition is the Haido Hotel in Haido Town!"

After saying such a long string of words in one breath, Conan took a heavy breath, then looked at Serabelle seriously, waiting for her reply.

Emmm...

Serabelle pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Although it still feels like we're on the same wavelength, it sounds a little more reliable than Detective Maori's."

Chapter 51: A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet

The greatest insult to a detective is to be told that you reason like Maori.

Although "more reliable than Maori" sounds better than the former at first glance, the comparison is ultimately based on Maori Kogoro.

So, Conan, whose dignity as a detective was hurt, decided not to sleep and made an appointment with Serabelle! See you at the Beido Hotel at midnight!

Of course, in Serabelle's view, his self-righteous act of risking his life to accompany a gentleman was nothing more than going out for a walk before going to bed to see if there would be a UFO or a meteor flying over Tokyo tonight.

Well, actually it doesn’t matter what comes, as long as it’s not a little boy.

So time passed, and after spending the afternoon and evening with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on high alert and doing everything they could to guard the art exhibition, time finally came to midnight.

Conan waited until half past eleven, after Kogoro Mouri and Ran had gone to bed, before leaving the house, because the bus routes had stopped running in the middle of the night. If he took a taxi, not to mention whether the driver would agree to take a child at this time, the fare alone would be a huge test for his little pocket money.

Out of helplessness, Conan had to spend a full half hour walking from Beika Town to the neighboring Haido Town. It was already twelve o'clock when he arrived downstairs of Haido Hotel.

Before he left, he sent a message to Serabelle saying that he would be there soon. At this time, the latter was waiting at the door downstairs of the hotel. When she saw him, she waved and said hello.

"Oh, you're a little slow. I've been waiting for you for almost half an hour."

"…When did you leave?"

Conan slowed down his pace as he approached, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

He thought to himself that he sent the text message half an hour ago, so you went directly to Beihu Hotel after receiving the text message?

Flying Thunder God, right?

"Right after you sent the message." Serabelle took out her phone and played the text message. "Look, isn't this from you? You said you'd be there soon, so I came down to pick you up. Who knew you'd be so slow?"

Down?

Conan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the building towering in the night sky right above the entrance of his hotel.

"But don't you live with your relatives?"

"...why don't you check what time you asked me out? You're staying at a relative's house and you're still going out so late at night, and you even have to ask someone to hold the door open for you. You're really shameless. Of course, you're just not going back tonight."

Serabelle pointed her index finger upwards, towards the upper floor of the hotel, meaning that she had booked a room in the hotel for the night.

This explanation is reasonable.

Conan didn't think too much about it and just said "oh".

"Let's go then. Kidd may show up at any time."

"Ah."

After a brief exchange, the two, one adult and one child, entered the Beihu Hotel.

The hotel's barrier-free elevator cannot go all the way to the top floor, so after reaching the highest floor that the elevator can reach, Serabelle and Conan went straight into the emergency passage and went straight up the stairs.

When I got to the next floor from the roof, there was a cordon at the entrance of the stairs that said "No entry for non-maintenance personnel".

No matter what, just turn over.

Half a minute later, with the iron door on the roof of the hotel creaking open from the inside, Serabell stepped onto the rooftop.

The still slightly chilly early spring evening breeze from high altitude immediately blew towards me.

Looking around, the rooftop of Beihu Hotel is no different from other high-rise buildings for business or office purposes. It is bare and has nothing on it. Apart from an elevator maintenance room, even the rows of air-conditioning outdoor units are set up in the open air on the ground floor for easy maintenance.

In the distant night sky, the police helicopter above the Rice Flower Museum has not yet stopped, and is still patrolling back and forth. The flashing red and blue lights are particularly conspicuous.

"It seems that the other party hasn't arrived yet, if your radio waves are really matched." Serabel said when she heard the sound of the iron door closing behind her.

"No hurry, it's only fifteen minutes. Even if he is very punctual, he will have to wait until half past twelve."

Conan yawned and walked up, then took out an empty can and a fireworks store rocket from somewhere.

"Oh wow?" Although Serabelle had never played with it, she could roughly understand its purpose.

Presumably they were preparing to wait until Kidd showed up and ignite the fire directly, and then stage the famous scene of an arrow piercing the clouds and bringing in thousands of troops to meet him.

What? Where are the thousands of troops?

Isn’t that the Metropolitan Police Department helicopter hovering in the night sky in the distance?

Hula hula——

At this moment, Serabelle suddenly heard an unusual sound in the howling night wind in the sky.

That was not the sound of normal air passing by your ears. If you had to say it, it was more like the sound of a piece of fabric like a flag being blown into a mess by the wind and then quickly straightened out again, making a pulling sound.

But where did the flag come from on this bare hotel roof? !

As if realizing something in an instant, Serabelle quickly turned around and looked behind her.

It was a pure white figure that slowly descended from the sky at an almost floating speed, and then landed steadily on the roof of the terrace where they came out of the stairs.

If this were the Dragon Ball world, then Serabelle would have thought that the other party had learned the Air Dance Technique.

But obviously that's not the case, so this should be... magic?

And looking at the other person's appearance, he was wearing a neat white suit, a tall top hat, and under the brim of the hat were round monocles that gave him a very British gentleman vibe, and a white cloak fluttering in the wind behind him.

Although the two people present had never seen the true appearance of Phantom Thief No. 1412, the same thought flashed through their minds at this moment.

"Kid!" Conan blurted out the name.

"It's this outfit. It's quite consistent with my expectation of Kaito Kidd." Serabell shrugged.

According to Mary Akai, Kaito Kid is a strange guy who will send out a warning letter before carrying out a theft and return the stolen items after the theft is successful.

This kind of people often like to commit performative crimes. For them, success rate is not the top priority. Because of their self-confidence in their own talents, achieving the goal is just like taking action after sending a notice, which is just an established fact.

As for what they are pursuing, it is the sensational effect, the kind of sensation that is under the attention of the public, like the appearance of a savior, enough to make the spotlight of the whole world focus on him alone. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to do something like walking in white at night.

only--

What color hair would be under that hat, and what face would be under that monocle?

Conan's little chest was pounding, his heartbeat was soaring to 120, his brain was working rapidly, and his sea-blue eyes reflected the white figure that was approaching step by step.

"Hey, you two, it's so late, what are you still doing in a place like this?" Kidd jumped off the roof in one step and landed on the rooftop in a cool manner.

"Look at the big bird." Serabelle's tone remained calm.

"Set off fireworks." Conan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The next second, he suddenly took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the rocket fixed in the can at his feet with lightning speed.

The fuse burned out quickly with a hissing sound, a sharp scream tore through the quiet night sky, and a small but bright flame shot up into the sky.

Chapter 52 Ji De: BYD is coming, right?

At the same time, on the road between the Rice Flower Museum and the Rice Flower Public Hall, Superintendent Shintaro Chaki, who was waiting in the police car for his subordinates to report the situation, suddenly received a report from an aerial patrol helicopter.

"What? You said there was a suspicious flash of light in the sky above the Beihu Hotel?"

"Yes, yes! It's absolutely true!" The Metropolitan Police Department pilot's voice came from the intercom, which was firm and urgent, "asking if we should go and confirm it immediately!"

"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about! Of course we have to confirm it. We must not miss any clues that may be Kidd!"

Chaki Shintaro waved his hands vigorously and spoke loudly on the intercom channel.

Yes, it would be a good thing if we could catch Kidd before he could steal, but if we sent all the troops there just because of a hint of suspicion, then this strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain would be too easy to implement.

After a brief pause, Chaki Shintaro picked up the intercom again.

"Listen to my orders. Air Group A and B will go to confirm. The rest of CDEF will continue patrolling and standby. Ground Groups ABC will immediately go to the downstairs of Beihu Hotel. Do not let any suspicious person go! Do you understand?"

No one on the intercom spoke in response, but the police lights whizzing in the same direction on the ground and in the sky in the distance had already answered him well.

On the other side, the rooftop of Beihu Hotel.

Serabelle did not take out his throwing knife immediately. Although the opponent appeared a little suddenly, he did not show any hostility.

It can be said that this historic meeting went quite peacefully... but that would be strange.

"I see. The voice sounds like it belongs to a man. He's surprisingly young. He sounds about 17 or 18 years old. He's about the same age."

Serabelle took out a mobile phone from her pocket with the screen showing "Recording Saved" and waved it towards the magician who appeared in the moonlight.

"But there is one thing I'm curious about. The name of Kaito Kidd officially became famous in France 20 years ago. If we calculate based on this time, have you been committing crimes since you were born?"

"Ahaha~ This is a really sharp question, but this is a secret, so let me remain silent." The magician smiled in a refreshing boyish voice and gently shook his index finger. "Come to think of it, the kid next to you doesn't seem to be an ordinary person either."

"Edogawa Conan is a detective." Conan smiled.

"Oh haha~"

As if he was impressed by the bold statement, the magician whistled frivolously.

"Compared to this, is it really okay for you not to run away?"
