Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

Chapter 54 Conan finally cracks the notification letter

Seeing Suzuki Shiro's expectant gaze, Chaki Shintaro nodded.

"Yes, what the notice said, 'invitation with the waves,' means coming along the Diwujin River."

The only place in this area with waves, besides the Diwujin River, is nowhere else.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter was sharp and piercing. Chaki Shintaro was about to see who was laughing so loudly when he turned around and stammered in surprise.

"You, aren't you Mori, who used to work in the First Division?"

“You’re such a loser, officer.” Kogoro Mouri didn’t answer directly, but stepped forward and looked him straight in the eye.

"what?"

"Don't you understand? Waves refer to the ocean."

Nani?

Su Xingbai stared at him in surprise.

You guessed it so easily?

Is this still the Kogoro Mouri he knows?

I simply can't believe it.

But the next second, Su Xingbai couldn't help but laugh.

"Waves refer to the ocean, and when you think of the ocean, you think of the fields. Stars refer to the idol star who will be holding a live concert at the Mika Public Hall nearby starting tomorrow."

"Miss Yoko Okino!!! Do you even know that?!"

"Also, Ms. Yoko Okino's last song has been confirmed as 'Moon Girl.' That implies the line that the moon separates two people. So, Phantom Thief 1412 will definitely appear near the Beika Public Hall at 9 PM tonight when the live concert ends and commit this theft. Do you understand?!"

As expected of you, Kogoro Mouri.

You did not disappoint me.

He knew that Kogoro Mouri couldn't possibly guess the answer directly, and he lived up to everyone's expectations.

Chaki Shintaro, standing to the side, stroked his chin and pondered seriously, saying, "Hmm, that does make some sense."

Su Xingbo glanced at him disdainfully. "How can someone like you catch Phantom Thief Kid? No wonder you're Nakamori's boss."

"As expected of the famous detective Kogoro Mouri," Shiro Suzuki praised from the side.

Then, Chaki Shintaro gestured to the officers and ordered, "Squad C and Squad E, assemble immediately around the Beika Guild Hall."

“Understood!” the officers replied loudly.

"By the way, where did that guy who was just assigned to our department last month go?" Chaki Shintaro asked his subordinate.

"It seems the team leader took his subordinates there this morning."

"That kid really knows how to pick his timing!" Chaki Shintaro grumbled.

After that, they left and continued their patrol.

At this moment, Yuanzi asked Xiaolan, "Xiaolan, have you eaten yet?"

Xiao Lan nodded and smiled, "I've already eaten. I ate on the way here."

"Oh, that's how it is."

The conversation between the two gave Conan an idea, and he quickly ran to the glass window, looking around.

Conan glanced at his watch, confirming the time and direction, then revealed a wicked smile.

Unbeknownst to Conan, just as he ran over, Su Xingbo pulled Ran and Sonoko along and ran over as well, watching him intently from the sidelines.

Ran was filled with surprise because this expression was so similar to Shinichi Kudo's expression when he solved a case and figured out the whole story.

But now it was appearing on Conan's face, which made her suspicious again.

This was something Su Xingbo did intentionally, to make you suspicious and eventually discover the truth.

Otherwise, the difficulty of the strategy would be too great, which would actually increase the chances of success.

After the group strolled around the museum for a while, Su Xingbo left early.

My father-in-law is here, after all.

Although he wasn't a blond-haired man, he was the one who abducted his two daughters.

He has already surpassed Huang Mao.

After all, no one is a fool. Sonoko's gaze was fixed on him, and after Ayako arrived, both women's eyes were on him.

It's hard not to have doubts.

So he had no choice but to leave early and go to the nearby Beihu City Restaurant to eat while waiting.

Night fell stealthily.

Su Xingbai, who had been resting on the sofa in the lobby, suddenly heard the sound of running not far away.

He quickly got up, opened his eyes to see what was going on, and when he found it was Conan, he smiled, waved, and called out.

"Oh my, Conan, why are you running around in such a hurry?"

Conan slammed on the brakes and came to a stop, stunned for a moment.

Then he tentatively asked, "You knew all along that Phantom Thief 1412 would be here?"

What a joke! He wouldn't admit it. Didn't you see that the people next to him are all plainclothes officers? If he admitted it, a conflict would break out on the spot.

He quickly raised his hands, feigning innocence and saying as if he didn't know anything.

"Conan, what are you talking about? I don't know anything. I had a meal and some drinks here after I left this afternoon."

You know, you shouldn't drink and drive, and if you do, you've already drunk and driven, so you're resting here.

Conan remained expressionless after hearing this.

You're an assassin in a terrorist organization, how could you possibly follow traffic rules? Since he didn't want to talk about it, Conan didn't press him further.

However, it might be a bit difficult for him to catch Phantom Thief 1412 by himself. He glanced at Su Xingbo, then grabbed his hand and ran towards the elevator.

"Help me catch this Phantom Thief No. 1412, and you can have all the credit."

Credit?

Su Xingbo laughed. How much merit would he have to remove the arrest warrant from the Metropolitan Police Department?

After the two got on the elevator, they quickly ascended to the top floor.

A banner was placed in the direction leading to the rooftop, and it read:

"Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering."

The two walked over the banner and ran up the stairs to the balcony.

Conan tiptoed to open the door and went up to the rooftop.

The wind was strong on the rooftop, making their hair rustle.

Conan walked step by step to the edge of the rooftop and put down a plastic beer bottle containing a firework.

Then I glanced at my watch; it was 12:28.

At that moment, the mobile phone in his arms rang.

It turned out to be a call from the doctor. After he answered, he heard the doctor's voice.

"Shinichi, I compared your father's file with the recent newspapers and found that this Phantom Thief No. 1412 is indeed a mysterious figure."

"He first appeared in Paris eighteen years ago, but ten years later he suddenly disappeared. Some people say he is dead."

"But eight years later, he has resurrected this year, and it is said that he is now mainly active in Japan."
