Noticing the conversation between the two, Nakamori Ginzo came over, lowered his head and asked Edogawa Conan: "Conan-kun, have you discovered anything new?"

Ever since he learned that the Kaitou Kidd was coming to steal the exhibits, he has been troubled by this matter, and even once tried to persuade Suzuki Jirokichi to cancel the exhibition, but the other party did not listen to him.

Now he can only hope that someone can unlock Kidd's warning letter as soon as possible, so that the police's arrest work can be more targeted.

Kaitou Kidd has come back for some time. In the previous confrontations with Kaitou Kidd, Edogawa Conan always had a lot of ideas like "a flash of light", which brought great help to the police.

Therefore, Nakamori Ginzo attaches great importance to this quick-witted child.

——Anyway, looking at Mori Kogoro, he will not be able to solve the notice letter in a short time, so it's better to pin his hopes on Edogawa Conan, the "kid nemesis".

Mori Kogoro shrugged and snorted twice: "It's just a kid, what can I find."

Edogawa Conan resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him, and replied to Police Officer Nakamori: "I think the first sentence 'the night when stars are born' probably refers to the day when the gems used to make "Falling Star" were mined 30 years ago. That's May 5."

"May 5th... Isn't this today?!"

Nakamori Ginzo scratched his head, confused: "But didn't Brother Maoli say that the sentence refers to the day when the work was completed?"

说来也是巧,这批宝石在30年前的5月13日被开采,而《陨落的星辰》则是在时隔一年后的5月14日完成。

Before Mori Kogoro concluded that Kaitou Kidd’s notice letter refers to May 5th, which is tomorrow, everyone also recognized this inference, so they all thought that Kaitou Kidd planned to come tomorrow.

Mori Kogoro reached out and patted Edogawa Conan on the head: "Don't make trouble here, children, how dare you question my reasoning as a famous detective!"

True Detective Edogawa Conan hissed, holding his head in pain.

He was slandering Mori Kogoro for always teaching him that he was a "child", when he heard a voice coming from his ear.

"This Conan-kun must have a reason for saying this, right? Why don't you listen to his reason first."

Edogawa Conan did not expect Kazama Kazukawa to take the initiative to speak for himself, and looked at each other in surprise.

The astrologer just looked at him with a smile, as if he just mentioned it casually, without any other meaning.

Nakamori Ginzo nodded: "That's true."

Edogawa Conan's attitude towards Kazama Kazukawa was a bit inexplicable, but he didn't show anything. He pretended to be naive and said, "Isn't the name of this work called 'Fallen' Star? If Kaitou Kidd refers to the 14th , it should be said 'the day the stars fell', right?"

Nakamori Ginzo was stunned for a moment, then thought about it: "That's true."

Mori Kogoro was choked by Edogawa Conan's rhetorical question, and guessed for a while that the other party's answer might be correct, but he still folded his arms to save his face and said, "Well, it's not impossible...I thought of it before. Yes, but I forgot to tell you."

Everyone: "..."

Ginzo Nakamori: "Then what does 'the hands of the clock point to a moment that shouldn't exist' mean?"

Speaking of this, Edogawa Conan also had some difficulties.

He has been thinking about this matter since he got the notice letter, but there is no result yet.

"There have been rumors that Mr. Ian had the concept of adding a clock to the design of "Fallen Star". If this is true, then Kidd's teaser letter may be related to this work?"

Having said that, there are no pointers or anything like that on that piece, so it's obviously not possible to rely directly on that to get an answer.

Seeing that he failed to solve the puzzle, Police Officer Nakamori was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much. Anyway, Kaitou Kidd said that it was the night of the 13th. As long as he kept watch all night, he would not worry about not being caught. Phantom Thief Kidd!

On the other side, after disabling the security system around the exhibits, Suzuki Jirokichi did not waste any more time, and directly asked someone to lift the curtain covering the display cabinet.

After seeing the works in the transparent display cabinet, everyone was amazed for a moment.

Standing in the showcase is a half-sized square drawing board, the background is a deep black night, and a silver-like bright galaxy is painted on it with special paint.

Dozens of transparent and flawless gemstones are inlaid on the night and the galaxy.Under the cold white light, these deliberately unpolished and precious gems exude a charming color, like the stars scattered around the Milky Way, with a broken beauty.

A gem appraiser exclaimed: "As expected of Mr. Ian's work, such a design even sublimates the gem itself!"

Although Nakamori Ginzo and Mori Kogoro were not interested in these works of art, they could tell that the work in front of them was indeed a masterpiece (no matter how bad it was, they could see that it was worth a lot just by looking at the gems), so they all agreed.

Atsushi Nakajima was also blinded by the gems that cost no money, and murmured: "There are so many gems..."

Before he came, he only heard from Kazuma and Chuan that it was an art exhibition. After entering the door and seeing the decoration in the exhibition hall, he was already very surprised. Unexpectedly, the exhibits were beyond his imagination.

Suzuki Sonoko and Yu Rongyan said happily: "Of course, each of the sapphires used in this work is of extremely high quality, and they have been sold at sky-high prices in foreign countries. Uncle spent nearly [-] yuan just to take pictures of this work." One hundred million U.S. dollars!"

In Japan, the only person who can achieve such a feat is Jiroji Suzuki.

Atsushi Nakajima, who had never seen such an expensive thing since he was born, was shocked: "Nearly [-] million dollars?!!"

Edogawa Conan was still observing the painting. After hearing Atsushi Nakajima's words, he looked up at him, as if he didn't understand why he was so shocked, and said strangely: "Speaking of gems, this big brother is worth more than these. high?"

Nakajima Atsushi followed his gaze to Kazama Kazukawa: "Eh???!"

The gem appraiser who asked Kazuma Kazukawa to divination for him before - the man named Carlson also walked over with a smile, and said: "I noticed before that Mr. Kazama's collar pin should be 'Twilight' Bar?"

Atsushi Nakajima was puzzled: "'Twilight'?"

Kazama and Chuan smiled, did not explain much, just nodded, affirming the other party's guess.

"Sure enough! I didn't expect to see the legendary 'Twilight' besides "Fallen Star". I really should thank Mr. Suzuki for the invitation."

As Carlson said, he opened the search page of the mobile phone and showed the content on it to others.

Atsushi Nakajima read the content above: "'Twilight', from the hand of the famous Italian designer Mr. Alvaro...the last auction price...2000 million US dollars??!"

Nakajima Atsushi looked at Kazama and Kawakawa in a daze.

…Thanks for the 70 billion rewards offered by those overseas organizations, otherwise he seems to be worth less than a lapel pin.

Carlson: "It's also a coincidence that the sapphire and "Falling Star" used in the production of "Twilight" were both mined in Sri Lanka at that time, but they were dismantled for some reasons, so they are also called "" What about the last stars'?"

Suzuki Jirokichi was in a very good mood: "Yes! I specially invited Kazama-kun for this. After decades, these gems buried deep in the mine can be regarded as reunited in this exhibition."

"By the way, this should be the concept of the clock that the kid mentioned before!" Suzuki Sonoko lay down in front of the showcase, and drew a circle on the canvas through the glass.

The scattered gemstones seem to be irregular, but some of them happen to fall on the edge of the circle, which looks like a dial shape.

Hearing her words, Mori Kogoro also leaned over to observe the gems.

He counted them one by one, frowned after counting, suspected that he had made a mistake, and after he finished counting again, he was puzzled: "How come there are thirteen gems on it?"

There are twelve hours in a day, or 24 hours.Therefore, most normal clock dials use these two scales, but the one in front of me actually has thirteen scales.

Edogawa Conan carefully observed the artwork in front of him, also a little confused.

Seeing that everyone was frowning again, Carlson half-jokingly said, "Does Kazama-sensei have any insights? After all, you know a lot about astrology, maybe you can find some clues that we don't know."

Edogawa Conan also looked at Kazama Kazukawa.

——Actually, he would ask Kazama and Chuan if he wanted to read the notice letter. In addition to testing each other, he also had this consideration.

The astrologer with brown hair and ocher eyes was standing in front of the showcase, with his gloved hand resting on his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing this, he looked at Carlson, his eyes paused on the latter for two seconds before showing a very shallow smile, and said, "Although it's just an immature guess, I think that Mr. Forty past one."

Carlson, who had asked the question before, looked surprised.

Edogawa Conan was also extremely surprised: "?!"

He just wanted to see if Kazama and Chuan would have any new ideas before, but he never thought that the other party would directly decipher Kidd's notice letter? !

The other people who heard his words also looked over, with shocked expressions.

"Did Kazama-sensei actually unlock Kidd's notice letter?! As expected of a famous fortune-teller, much more reliable than this brat." Suzuki Sonoko excitedly praised Kazuma Kazukawa and at the same time did not forget to assassinate Edogawa A word from Conan.

Edogawa Conan: "..."

The warning letter was unlocked, and the most excited one was Officer Nakamori.But he can't just choose to believe it without asking: "Mr. Kazama, how did you deduce this time?"

"Actually, it's a very simple matter."

Kazama and Chuan smiled, walked to the display cabinet, and pointed out the dial-like pattern to everyone: "The thirteen round gemstones should represent the thirteen constellations distributed on the ecliptic."

"Thirteen?" Nakamori Ginzo was puzzled, "As far as I know, there should be twelve constellations?"

Suzuki Sonoko also nodded in agreement.

An inspiration suddenly flashed in Edogawa Conan's mind, and he blurted out: "Ophiuchus?!"

Kazama Kazukawa nodded with a smile, and then explained: "The twelve constellations or zodiac signs we often talk about are actually concepts in the field of astrology. In fact, in the field of astronomy, in 1928, Ophiuchus was also recognized as the One of the zodiac constellations, that is, the No.13 zodiac constellations."

"Let's put it this way... If these thirteen gemstones used as clock scales represent the thirteen constellations, then the gemstone representing Ophiuchus should not exist in a certain sense," Nakamori Ginzo suddenly realized With a hammer, "This is the 'non-existent time'!"

"So that's why 'the hour hand of the clock is pointing to a moment that shouldn't exist' is the time represented by Ophiuchus?"

"Yes." The astrologer replied, he paused, and then continued, "Then according to Ian's designer's creative thinking, as long as the arrangement of other gemstones is compared with the positions of the planets in astronomy, it can be deduced that it represents snakes. The Capuchin gem is the one at the highest point in the composition."

Suzuki Sonoko: "Afterwards, you only need to calculate the angle between the gemstone and the center of the circle to estimate the time! You really deserve to be Mr. Kazama!"

Conan Edogawa didn't understand at first because he was unfamiliar with the field of astronomy. After hearing Kazama and Kawadot just came out, he quickly figured out the relationship.

Before, he still doubted whether Kazama and Chuanxin's astrolabe were suspected of being fake, but now it seems that no matter whether divination is considered a fraud or not, the other party is really capable.

After all, it is not easy to deduce which one represents Ophiuchus from these haphazard gemstone positions-after all, no one has discovered this in more than 30 years.

The boy looked at Kazama and Kawakawa with complicated emotions.

Little did he know that on the other side, Kaito Kuroba, who was disguised as Carlson, was in a more complicated mood than him!

——He would ask Kazama and Kawakawa questions just out of interest in the other party, and he never thought that Kazama and Kawakawa really guessed the content of the notice letter.

In this way, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for him to steal gems.

The magician under the moon was in a trance, feeling that he was digging a hole for himself by asking Kazama and Kawakawa the question just now.

But no matter what he thinks, the notice letter has been unlocked now.

Officer Nakamori ordered his subordinates to measure the time with a ruler, and found that it was indeed after [-]:[-], and began to direct the people in the Metropolitan Police Department to prepare for the night's security deployment.

Here, after watching "Fallen Star", everyone planned to go back to their rooms to rest.

Kuroba Kaito took advantage of the chaos and arranged his props secretly.

He is a magician, not a magician, and he has to set up the venue before performing.

When he finished what he wanted to do and turned around to leave with the others, he suddenly met a pair of ocher eyes.

For some reason, Kazama Kazukawa didn't stay with the others, but stood aside and watched him.

Kuroba Kaito froze, wondering if the other party had seen his actions, and began to plan in his mind how to get out.

A few seconds later, the astrologer smiled and said, "Mr. Carlson, would you like to continue the previous divination?"

Only then did Kuroba Kaito remember that he had asked the other party for divination before, and he was instantly relieved.

He gladly accepted Shimokazama Kazukawa's invitation, and the latter two left the exhibition hall together with Atsushi Nakajima.

Birthdays are used in astrology, but Kaito Kuroba has changed his mind now, so naturally he can't use his own, so he told Kazama and Kazukawa the date and place of birth of the jewelry appraiser named Carlson.

The two chatted while walking, and Kazama Kazukawa also told Kuroba Kaito the results of the interpretation of the astrolabe from the shallower to the deeper.

The latter couldn't help being secretly surprised when he heard his analysis.

Kuroba Kaito is an excellent magician, but also a qualified pretender.Since he had stolen Carlson's identity, in order to better play the role of the other party, he naturally carefully observed the behavior and personality of this appraiser.

Judging from the results now, what Kazama and Chuan said is almost exactly the same.

Whether it is paranoid, overly cautious personality, or bad family relationships and career setbacks, they all fit Carlson's current situation very closely.

Even the recent deviation of fortune and the possibility of some unexpected accidents (after all, Carlson was knocked out by him and used his identity falsely) were all expected.

"...Your analysis is exactly the same as mine. I have indeed encountered some troubles recently. Since you said that it will get better in the future, I can rest assured."

Kuroba Kaito imitated Carlson's tone and said: "Mr. Suzuki praised you as an excellent fortune-teller. Now it seems that you are not just saying it casually."

"Really?" Kazama and Chuan asked with a smile.

With his right hand in his pocket, the astrologer turned his head slightly, his light brown hair hanging down his ears, showing a dazzling color under the cold white light.

From Kuroba Kaito's angle, he could just see the graceful arc of the other side's face, as well as those smiling eyes.

The astrologer shook his head: "But in my opinion, the result of this divination is very inconsistent with your own destiny?"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out the meaning of Kazama and Sichuan dialect.

... The fortune teller could not see that he was not himself, could he? !

Kuroba Kaito instinctively felt that this was unlikely.But looking at the eyes of Kazama and Chuan, he was a little unsure.

Before he could open his mouth to confirm with Kazama and Kazukawa, the latter took Atsushi Nakajima back to his lounge and closed the door by the way.

Outside the door, Kaito Kuroba scratched his head.

Forget it, although he didn't know why the other party said these words, but he didn't seem to want to interfere with him too much.

That being the case, he didn't have to ask the other party what happened.

It's just that he only planned to steal "Falling Star" this time, but he didn't expect to run into Kazama Kazukawa with "Twilight".

After all, these gemstones have been separated for a long time, and he was a little unsure when he saw them at first glance.

I really should thank that old man Suzuki Jirokichi.

Kuroba Kaito tossed the remote control in his hand.

— "The Last Star"?

Now that the stars are gathering again, let me accept them together.

The exhibition starts in the afternoon and ends at two o'clock in the morning.

The reason why it was decided to continue until the evening is because the content of the work "Falling Star" itself is related to night, and the designer Ian once expressed that he hoped that visitors would appreciate this work at night.

At [-]:[-], the exhibition hall was temporarily closed to tourists, and the police were guarding the exhibition hall, ready for battle.Suzuki Sonoko also pulled Mao Lilan and the others to stand outside the exhibition hall, intending to watch "Master Kidd" up close.

The audience who participated in the exhibition also knew the news that Kaito Kidd would come in advance. They waited outside the building because the museum was temporarily closed.

——Ginzo Nakamori had nothing to do with these people, so he had to send his subordinates to control the order outside the venue.

The time is getting closer to the forecasted moment.

In the exhibition hall, Nakamori Yinsan held the communicator in one hand while staring nervously at the display cabinet.

Although Suzuki Jirokichi has arranged a security system that is said to be "safe" around the showcase, he is still very worried.

After all, which time did Kaito Kidd not steal gems under heavy surveillance?

He stared at his pocket watch, and when the second hand coincided with the scale representing 12, he immediately looked left and right for the trace of Kaitou Kidd.

But the second hand slowly turned half of the dial, but nothing happened in the exhibition hall.

Nakamori Ginzo looked at the empty venue in confusion, and just when he had some doubts, the light above his head suddenly went out, and his surroundings could not be seen.

The originally brightly lit building suddenly became pitch black. If someone stood at a distance to observe the building at this time, under the dark night, they might think that the building disappeared out of thin air.

Nakamori Ginzo shuddered all over.

The lighting system of the entire building was cut off in an instant!

The Nakamori Police Department quickly shouted: "Don't panic! Protect the gems!"

But his instructions failed to have the slightest effect. Who among the police officers sounded the siren first, which then caused a series of chain reactions.

In the darkness, there was chaos everywhere.

The ear-piercing sirens sounded together, and suddenly Nakamori Ginzo noticed a figure brushing past him.

He was startled, and quickly looked at where the gemstone was.

A beam of light suddenly came on.

In the center of the exhibition hall, a magician wearing a pure white dress stepped on the glass box of the display cabinet, as if opening the next magic show, and gracefully bowed to the policemen surrounding the exhibition hall.

Then, the magician pressed the button in his hand.

In the next second, the glass windows surrounding the exhibition hall shattered in an instant, and the broken glass fragments scattered all over the place.

Under the illumination of the lights, it looks like stars falling from the sky.

When the Nakamura police department reacted and ordered their subordinates to arrest the Kaitou Kidd, the lights went out again. In the darkness, bright silver lights suddenly appeared in the exhibition hall. star sea.

The magician under the moon was above the sea of ​​stars, and after taking out "Falling Stars", the corners of his mouth curled up: "Then, I will accept this treasure."

Then, without waiting for the Nakamori Police Department to react, the magician snapped his fingers and disappeared into the darkness.

After escaping from the exhibition hall, Kaito Kuroba was not in a hurry to leave the exhibition hall.

One of the reasons is that according to his long-term understanding of the Zhongsen Police Department, the other party must have prepared a helicopter to intercept him on the way, leaving now would be troublesome.

The second reason was that he still wanted to meet the astrologer. After all, the "Twilight" piece of the other party was more likely to be the gemstone he was looking for than the "Fallen Star" in his hand.

Soon, Kuroba Kaito found Kazuma Kazukawa on a stand on the third floor.

The power supply to the building's lighting system has not yet been restored, and it is still pitch black.

The astrologer with brown hair and ocher eyes stood in front of the French windows of the grandstand, watching the night outside the window.

Taking advantage of the surrounding chaos, Kuroba Kaito quietly came to Kazuma Kazukawa, stretched out his hand to hook the jewelry on the opponent's shirt, and took off the priceless collar pin very lightly and quickly.

During the movement, Kaito Kuroba vaguely heard the roar of the Nakamori police department—the other party probably realized that he was still in the building—so he planned to run away quickly.

But the moment he took off the collar pin and wanted to take back his pocket, a slightly cool hand grabbed his wrist.

Kuroba Kaito shrank his pupils and turned his head.

Under the night, the ocher eyes of the astrologer looked extraordinarily magnificent.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Strange Thief, it's too impolite to take other people's things at will."
