Maori Kogoro began to understand everything

Xiao Ai blushed slightly and avoided his gaze uncomfortably.

"Ai, did you go to the ginkgo grove behind Teitan Elementary School this morning?"

Maori asked.

"Eh? Uncle, how did you know?" Xiao Ai blinked blankly, "Ayumi and I went to take care of the rabbits in the school..."

"It's true," Maori said with a smile while holding the postcard. "Although I haven't cracked the code, I already know the meeting place."

"What?!" Dr. Agasa, who was questioning the librarian, looked at Maori in a daze.

"Got it?"

The doctor looked shocked, but soon became disappointed.

"Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. It doesn't matter if you can't decipher the code. I'm already very satisfied that you can help me like this... Let my memories with her remain intact and beautiful. I don't want her to see me bald..."

"But it's already this time."

Maori handed the doctor a hat and said, "Wouldn't it be a shame if you didn't go and take a look? It's impossible for a person to live a lifetime with only regrets left in the end, right?"

"But..." The Doctor said with tears in his eyes.

"Ten years ago, Xiaolan saw a beautiful lady wearing a hat in the ginkgo forest of Teitan Elementary School. She seemed to be the designer of Fusae," Maori said with a smile, "The Fusae brand bag that Xiaolan queued up to buy today happened to be a souvenir released because of the designer Fusae's visit to Japan."

"Fusae..." Dr. Agasa muttered to himself and stood still.

……

Outside the back gate of Teitan Elementary School, ginkgo trees are lined up in two rows with golden ginkgo leaves scattered everywhere. At dusk, it seems as if the whole world is dyed in ginkgo color.

Maori sent away Ayumi and the other children who wanted to eat melons and read gossip, and took the nervous Professor Agasa to a luxury car parked under a ginkgo tree.

"Doctor, try your best. I've asked someone to find out that Ms. Fushae has been single until now. I asked someone to drive her here to wait for you this morning... Go ahead and do your best."

Maori noticed the figure of a woman wearing a hat beside the car and quickly pushed the doctor.

After the doctor mustered up the courage to move forward, Maori looked around with his hands folded: "Ms. Fusae is still a great beauty. The doctor is so lucky. But, what do those codes mean?"

"It's the sound of animals, uncle,"

Conan came over and said, "Those numbers are the word lengths of the animal calls. In English, the sound of a chicken is ck-a-doodle-doo, the bark of a dog is bow-bow, and the sound of a mouse is spueak, which is exactly 4163, 33, and 6 respectively, right? The last 0 means that the animal is gone, which means that the Kinoshita family no longer keeps animals at home..."

"The chicken in the front refers to the elementary school that raised chickens at the time, the dog refers to the Ino family, and the mouse refers to the Chouye family that raised hamsters. Reading them together would be the elementary school, Ino (no i) Chouye (cho no) Kinoshita... the elementary school's (no) ginkgo (i cho) tree (no) below!"

"what?"

Maori raised his eyebrows and looked at Conan, who was arguing, speechlessly, "Isn't the sound of a chicken clucking?"

"It sounds like ck-a-doodle-doo to Americans."

Conan shrugged pretending to be helpless - but in fact, the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears. His previous experience of interacting with many Americans during his vacation in Hawaii allowed him to finally defeat Maori this time and crack the code before the latter.

"never mind……"

Maori took out the "Seven Stars" from his pocket and lit it for himself, then looked with satisfaction at Dr. Agasa who was stuttering and talking to the beautiful woman on the other side and seemed very happy.

"No matter what the process is, this result is enough to comfort people."

I went to volunteer today to help with nucleic acid testing. I really don’t have time to write, so I’m taking a day off. I hope you can understand.

The New Year is coming soon, dear readers, please pay attention to safety.

One hundred words ahh ...

The night was quiet. They left Teitan Elementary School through the forest path with fluttering ginkgo leaves. After separating from Conan and the professor, Maori took Xiaolan and Haibara to walk along the moonlit street.

While Haibara and Xiaolan were having a heated discussion about bags, one of women's favorite items, Maori was letting his thoughts wander.

It is not difficult to see from the smile on Dr. Agasa's face when he came back that this eccentric scientist who has been single for decades has finally ushered in his own spring - if there is a chance, the good man Mori would like to push them again and let them enter the palace of marriage.

"Dad, why are you laughing so obscenely!"

Xiaolan, who was chatting with Haibara, suddenly looked at Maori with her eyes drooped.

"Ah? I'm happy for Professor Agasa..."

Mao Li realized that he had lost control of his expression and shrugged his shoulders quickly, returning to a nonchalant look. "The doctor is our friend after all. We not only have to help him find his first love, but also have to be responsible for his lifelong affairs... Of course, by that time, he and Ms. Fusae will become a family, and it will be easier for you two and Yingli to get the limited edition bag that you want..."

……

When Maori and his group returned home, the sound of police car sirens began to echo in the street not far away, and a white hang glider flew across the night sky between tall buildings.

Perhaps because she witnessed Dr. Agasa's love story during the day, the precocious little loli Ayumi did not watch Kamen Rider as usual at night, but chose a romance drama with vampire elements... Of course, just like families with children all over the world, at the critical moment when the hero and heroine were about to kiss, which was "not suitable for children", her mother took over the TV in their home and urged her to go to bed.

Although the good girl Ayumi was a little reluctant, she still obediently returned to her small bed in her room. However, as soon as she turned off the light and closed her eyes, she heard a strange sound from the balcony, and the shadow of a fluttering cloak under the bright moonlight was reflected on the bedroom floor through the curtains.

"Ok?"

Ayumi blinked, got up and opened the French window, and then she saw a gentleman in a white cloak standing on the balcony handrail facing the wind.

"Who are you? Mr. Vampire?"

Ayumi, who was still a little confused, asked curiously.

The white gentleman looked back at Ayumi and smiled slightly, "No, I'm tired from flying, so I stopped to rest for a while."

He jumped off the handrail, took Ayumi's hand and kissed the back of her hand gently: "This is just a kind of magic, little girl~"

As soon as the white gentleman finished speaking——

"Buzz!"

With the loud hum of propellers, a helicopter climbed to a high altitude, and the beam of light from the searchlight instantly illuminated the balcony.

At the same time, two searchlights were also emitted from the ground.

"Over there! Don't let that guy get away!"

"Hurry up and catch Kaito Kidd!"

"Humph."

The white gentleman raised his lips slightly, and gently jumped out of the balcony and spread his glider, "Goodbye, little girl."

……

"You said Kid visited Ayumi's house yesterday and kissed the back of the girl's hand?"

The next day, at the Mori Detective Agency, when Ai was helping to organize case materials, she told Mori what Ayumi said at school today.

"Yes, Ayumi is very happy,"

Ai chuckled and looked at Maori, "It's just that Edogawa is a little unhappy. After all, not only did this thief trick him before, but it seems that he is better at pleasing little girls than him..."

"It's more than just being able to please little girls,"

Maori rolled his eyes, "How old is Ayumi? Kid is too cruel..."

"Then Uncle Detective, will you punish him?"

"Hmph, wait till the right opportunity comes. You are just a petty thief..."

……

A week later, on August 8, at the Metropolitan Police Department, Maori followed a large number of police officers into the meeting hall and took his seat.

"We are now conducting a special search meeting for Kaito Kidd."

After distributing information to everyone, a police officer stood up and began to report.

"Phantom Thief No. 1412, commonly known as Phantom Thief Kidd, has committed 134 crimes in total, 15 of which were committed abroad, in the United States, France, Germany, etc. He has traveled to 152 countries, and has stolen a total of 387 gems, with a total theft amount of 2500 billion yuan..."

After everyone had read the information and had a basic understanding of Kaito Kid, the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division Superintendent, Officer Nakamori Ginji's boss, Chaki Shintaro, continued to speak:

"This Kaito Kid sent me a letter yesterday, 'From the lion at dusk to the girl at dawn, when the clock without a second hand reaches the 12th number, it descends from the bright sky tower and takes the egg of memories... The magician of the end of the century, Kaito Kid is here.'"

The content of the notice was projected onto the screen, immediately causing a stir in the entire venue.

"The Egg of Memories mentioned here was discovered in the Suzuki Group's treasure house last month. It is the Tsar's secret treasure, the Emperor's Easter Egg."

Maori stared at the treasure on the screen without blinking, while the police officers' instructions continued to be heard in his ears.

"The Emperor's Easter Egg is a treasure given by the Russian Emperor to the Empress at Easter. It was made by the gem maker Faberuge. There were only 1885 of them between 1916 and 50, and the one discovered this time is the 51st one."

"This 51st Emperor Easter Egg will be exhibited at the Suzuki Museum of Art, which will open in Osaka Castle Park, starting on August 8..."

As Maori listened to the explanation, his right leg began to shake unconsciously.

The Emperor's Easter Egg was worth a lot of money just by looking at it, but even such a treasure seemed to be gathering dust in the warehouse of the Suzuki Group...

Making money is not enough yet, we still need to work hard on gross profit!

"Regarding the content of the code,"

The familiar-looking officer Ginji Nakamori took the stage after the police officers left. "First, it's the dusk of the lion to the dawn of the girl... It means from the dusk of August 8, the last day of Leo, to the dawn of the first day of Virgo, which represents the day of the crime."

"As for the clock without a second hand reaching the 12th number, I guess this should represent the time of the crime. The problem is that I haven't figured it out yet... The last thing that descended from the bright sky tower should be the castle tower. Osaka Castle is the place where Kaito Kidd appeared..."

Considering that the people sitting around him were all police officers with serious faces, although Maori did not completely agree with Officer Nakamori's inference, he was still sensible enough to applaud him along with the people around him.

"This time we will work with the Osaka Prefectural Police," Chaki Shintaro continued, "and at the request of Mr. Suzuki, we have specially invited the famous detective Maori Kogoro to participate in the investigation."

As soon as Chaki Shintaro finished speaking, everyone in the venue turned their eyes to Maori - being stared at by hundreds of serious eyes, even Maori's heartbeat slowed down.

"……Hello everyone!"

"Everyone, the purpose of our joint investigation this time is to protect the treasure to the death," Chamu Shintaro continued loudly, "Even if the criminal escapes, we must protect the treasure..."

Chaki Shintaro is worthy of being a senior police officer. He knows what primary and secondary targets are. However, his subordinates do not seem to share the same idea as him.

Officer Nakamori Ginji next to him snatched the microphone and said through gritted teeth, ignoring his confused look: "Everyone, how can we let him go so easily? The treasure comes second, do you understand? We must put the prestige and pride of our police force in jail! We must catch him! Otherwise, the prestige of our police force will be destroyed!"

"Yes!"

The police officers at the scene were so excited that they wanted to tear Kid to pieces immediately. Only Maori twitched his mouth helplessly.

Brother Nakamori, is it really okay to be so confident? It's not a good thing to be slapped in the face...

……

On August 8, Ai and Professor Agasa went to Tokyo Station to see Conan and Mori father and daughter off.

——Ai herself didn't really want to join in the fun regarding Kid, and she happened to be testing the experimental equipment she had bought some time ago with the professor, so she stayed in Tokyo; Conan, on the other hand, had nothing to do in his daily life, and was also very excited about Kid's actions, so he shamelessly followed the Mori father and daughter.

"Doctor, please take care of Xiao Ai for the next few days."

Maori said politely.

"What trouble is there?"

Dr. Agasa laughed and said, "Just leave it to me!"

Looking at the honest smile of the doctor, Maori suddenly felt a little bit sorry - when he was in Maori Detective Agency, Xiao Ai and Xiao Lan formed a small and big housekeeper team, and arranged his life thoroughly. Once he went to Dr. Agasa's house, Xiao Ai would probably have more room to play. After all, Dr. Agasa, a fat man who had been single for many years, had a worse living habit than himself...

(Just think of this as special training for living with Ms. Fusae, Doctor...)

……

Osaka.

As soon as Mao Li and Xiao Lan walked to the station exit, they saw Sonoko coming to pick them up.

After not seeing each other for a while, Yuanzi was still the same, full of energy and waving: "This way, this way!"

Even though her house was being targeted by Kaito Kid, Sonoko looked as excited as before. The car used to pick people up was also a high-end sedan from the Suzuki family, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Would this be too high-profile?"

Maori felt the beauty of the high-quality leather beneath him and spoke insincerely.

"Today is very special," Sonoko said excitedly, holding her hands, "because I'm finally going to see the Kaito Kidd of my dreams again! How can we not make it more grand?"

"Good reason..."

Maori was too tired to complain.
