magician under the moon

Qingtian Exhibition Hall, designed by a famous designer, is a transparent building composed entirely of glass and steel frames.Located near the center of Tokyo.In the past week, a jewelry exhibition has been held here, which has attracted the attention of the public.However, unlike the crowded scene during the day, the closed museum is usually very deserted.But today, it unexpectedly welcomed many guests.

And everyone's eyes, without exception, were focused on the transparent glass showcase in the center of the hall.The real protagonist of the whole exhibition is lying quietly on the red flannelette.Seventeen precision-cut diamonds that are as gorgeous as stars are just a foil.What really fascinates are the blue stones that surround them.

Very beautiful, very pure blue, this is people's first impression.But soon, you will find that this seemingly pure blue is too coquettish, just like a woman who combines debauchery and restraint, has a different kind of breathtaking and magical charm, which is enough to make you feel beautiful. Soul absorption.

Beauty can also be a sin. This sentence is the best interpretation of this sapphire with a strange life experience.Because its misty history is full of strange and tragic experiences, and it always brings irresistible bad luck to its owner. Its successive owners, from explorers, kings, to bankers, nobles The final destination of the woman is either a mysterious disappearance or an untimely death.People can't remember its original name, but they remember such a title - Stone of Doom

"Sounds scary!" Conan's narration made Xiaolan gasp, "But, didn't I hear that its name is Hope?"

"Hope" is another name for this diamond." Facing the question, Conan answered calmly, "In history, this big blue diamond was stolen from the treasury of France in 1792. What happened to the thief? , people do not know, only know that it was re-polished once, and appeared in the jewelry market in London in 1830, and was immediately bought by the banker Hope, worth 18000 pounds. Since then, this blue diamond It was named "Hope" after its new owner's surname. Since Hope in English means hope, this diamond is also called "Hope."

"All day long, I always know some strange things." Kogoro Mori obviously taught himself a class again because he was a primary school student, and he was quite honest. "I really don't understand, what does Kaitou Kidd have to do with me? Why did you accidentally pull me here?"

"Ah? Haha, I just think that only a famous detective like Uncle can stop Kidd." Conan got goosebumps all over his body because of his pretending tender voice.

"That's right, who told me that I am a detective Mori Kogoro, ah, hahaha!"

You can become a detective, not relying on me.Conan was thinking depressingly, a group of dark clouds floated over his head, but there was only a convulsive smirk on his mouth.However, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the seductive blue color again.

A gemstone that brings bad luck is given the name of hope. Things in this world are sometimes really ironic and embarrassing.Whose doom and hope will you be this time?

"Who!? Kidd? Oh?" ​​A figure appeared in the exhibition hall with a loud shout.

"Oh? You are the one..." Mori Kogoro leaned forward, a name was running around in his head, but he couldn't get it out of his tongue. Des....Ginzo Nakamori!"

"Mori Kogoro?" Nakamori, an "old friend" who looked at the idiot face, looked resentful, "Why are you here. Oh... this little devil is here too."

Who is the little devil!Conan, who was 1 unconvinced in his heart, said, "Uncle Maori saw Kidd's notice letter and thought he was interested in the gems here, so he came here."

Unceremoniously passing through the crowd, he went straight to the display cabinet, and kept muttering, "It's really nosy, just leave Kidd's matter to our police."

"What did you say!" Kogoro felt as if a gunpowder keg had been ignited upon hearing this.

Police officer Nakamori, who didn't raise his head, took out a magnifying glass to examine the showcase carefully, and after confirming that it was still intact, he lazily replied, "Didn't you hear that?"

".....!!!"

"...!!!"

The two figures with distorted faces immediately filled the air with the smell of gunpowder.

"By the way, I thought just now," Mori Kogoro said with his eyebrows trembling, "You might be Kidd."

"It's up to me to say that," Police Officer Nakamori twitched his mouth, and responded angrily, "The unknown detective is really suspicious."

"!!!"

"!!!"

Seeing the two men with grown-up faces and the age of grown-ups start another face-to-face battle, Conan could only sigh.

"Oh? I didn't expect it to be so lively here. I thought I was the first one to arrive!"

Nakamori Ginzo, Mori Kogoro, Sonoko, Conan, and Xiaolan stopped what they were doing at the same time after seeing the person coming.

A young man of sixteen or seventeen, dressed in a blue suit, walked gracefully into the hall with a smile, and greeted him casually, "Lan? You're here too!"

"New...new..." Xiaolan was so taken aback by this sudden scene that she couldn't even speak a complete syllable. She really couldn't believe her eyes. The person who thinks is clearly standing in front of him at this moment, but the fact is so unquestionable.

"Idiot..." 'Xinyi' squinted his eyes and muttered angrily, "I can't even recognize him so quickly."

"He's not Kudo Shinichi, because I'm..."

Without saying a word, Ran Mori, Kogoro Mori, and Police Officer Nakamori all cast suspicious glances at Conan.

"Ah? What's that?" 'Xinyi' showed a wicked smile, and looked at the speaker with wicked eyes.

"I...I...it's nothing, haha...Long time no see, Shinichi...brother!" Conan, who had learned from the past, immediately understood clearly what happened before him. man's identity.However, it is very unfortunate that the famous detective who has always been committed to revealing the truth can only choose to suffer from being dumb at this time and help his biggest opponent... hide the truth.

Damn Kidd, just wait and see!Conan suddenly lost his temper.But just waited for the 'self-cultivation' to be silent.

"Where did you go?!" After a brief shock, he burst out completely, "Xinyi, why have you disappeared for so long!"

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan, there are a lot of cases recently, so I can't get away. However, today I saw Kidd's notice letter in the newspaper, so I temporarily put aside the case at hand and came here." With an apologetic tone , 12 points of sincerity, listening to the ears, no matter how big the temper is, I am afraid it will be wiped out, "After all, there is nothing more worth looking forward to than being able to fight against a talented magician like Kidd. "

It should be that no one is more narcissistic than you, right? Conan glanced at the other party, and continued to maintain a good cultivation of silence...

"...Forget it, if you want to investigate, I have no right to stop it." Officer Zhong Mori waved his hand and expressed his position without choice, "But listen carefully, don't hinder the work of the police. When will Germany come, but since he sent out the notice letter, he will definitely show up."

Kidd has already arrived, standing in front of you... Conan thought sullenly, wishing he could become a bug and get into the brain of this unresponsive police officer Nakamori.

"Thank you, for the honor of being a high school detective, I will definitely bring that thief to justice." Taking a look at Conan's brilliant face, 'Shinichi' secretly smiled in his heart, and added maliciously "I didn't expect to see Xiaolan here. This is probably what people often say, fate! Seriously, Lan, you are more beautiful than before."

"Xinyi...!?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Oh?" Sonoko touched 'Shinichi' with his elbow, with an ambiguous expression on his face, "I said, Kudo, you have finally become more active! Not bad, not bad, you have made progress!

"Stinky boy! How dare you seduce my daughter!" Kogoro gritted his teeth, but in order to maintain his image in front of his daughter, he could only be intimidated by his eyes.

'Xinyi' automatically ignored Kogoro's eyes, but glanced lightly at the opponent beside him---you see, detective, you can't do it like that, girls have to be coaxed!

'Conan's face was ashen, and his anger was obvious, and he gave his opponent a warning look full of murderous intentions--damn guy, dare to seduce Xiaolan?This time I must lock you in! ! !

Then try it out, detective!Returning a provocative look to his opponent, Kidd's mood today can be described in two words.

"By the way, Officer Nakamori, how is the deciphering of Kidd's notice letter going?" 'Shinichi', that is, Kuroba Kaito, put away his playful nature and started the detective's 'job' .

"Well...Although I guessed Kidd's goal this time," Nakamori took out the puzzling notice letter, and Nakamori's expression of helplessness was obvious, "However, the key issues such as time and place are still Have no clue."

"Then have you notified the owner of this jewel?" 'Xinyi' asked seemingly casually.

"No," the blunt answer disappointed Kidd, but the latter answer quickly aroused his greater interest, "It's very strange. Even the exhibitors here don't know who the owner of 'Hope' is, They have been in contact with each other by mobile phone. But after Kidd sent out the notice letter, the only contact was cut off."

"Is that so..."

'Why, this guy would be interested in the gem's owner. Conan glanced at the thoughtful 'Xinichi' a little strangely, but immediately pretended to be humbly asking for advice, and asked maliciously, "By the way, brother Shinichi...then you Have you cracked the notice letter?"

'Xinyi' frowned, with a standard 'Xinyi-style' reasoning expression, "Not yet, after all, this is Kaitou Kidd's notice letter, I've been thinking about it for a day, but I still haven't gained much."

It's no wonder that you think about how to solve it... Conan has to admire his opponent's acting skills. If it weren't for this person playing himself, even he, a famous high school detective, would be coaxed over.

"I have something to ask, Officer Nakamori," Mori Kogoro pointed to the blue diamond in the display case, "This piece of 'hope', what happened ten years ago? Why did Kidd mention the 'party ten years ago'?" Remembrance Night '. What is he trying to commemorate?'”

"This diamond was stolen by the strange thief Kidd ten years ago."

"Huh? The theft failed?"

"Idiot," Nakamori regretted letting an idiot join the investigation, to the point that he wanted to bite his tongue off, "There is no failure, as I said just now, it was stolen! And it was not returned, so I feel strange, how could it be separated? Seeing this gem again after ten years."

"How could it be? Could it be that Kidd returned the gem he stole," Mouri Kogoro's eyes almost turned into copper bells, "and then stole it again? What kind of logic is that!"

"This kind of thing is hard to say. Kidd's way of acting is different from ordinary people."

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Conan raised his head and continued to ask Nakamori, "So when Kidd stole this gem ten years ago, did anything special happen?"

"Special? Well..." Nakamori paused for a while, carefully searching the memory bank, and soon the answer appeared, "Oh, speaking of it, when Kidd stole the gem ten years ago, it happened that Whole Foods."

Total lunar eclipse? .......Wait a minute, in the notice letter...So that's what happened!I've already solved half of your riddle, Kidd.

Conan glanced at 'Xinyi' provocatively, and then asked Xiaolan in his crisp childish voice, "Sister Xiaolan, do you have Greek mythology? Our school teacher asked us to write a review!"

"Yes, but Conan, why did you mention this suddenly?"

"No, I just remembered that Kidd's notice letter mentioned several characters in Greek mythology, and I remembered this matter."

"Greek mythology? Oh, yes, I remember that Kidd mentioned, Apollo, Hera, and Artemis, they seem to be the sun god, the mother of the earth, and the moon god. Oh, yes, I also mentioned When it comes to Pandora, which brings disaster to the world..."

A flash of light flashed in Mori Kogoro's mind, "I see, I know when Kidd will show up."

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"Hehe...don't you know?" Mori Kogoro glanced at Nakamori very proudly, "The answer lies in the total lunar eclipse that occurred when Kidd stole it ten years ago. The reason why the total lunar eclipse occurred was because the sun, When the earth and the moon happen to run on the same straight line, the light from the sun to the moon will be completely covered by the earth. Apollo, Gaia, and Artemis in Kidd’s notice letter are the sun, earth, and moon respectively. Patronus. And the three gods are lined up, that is, when the total lunar eclipse occurs, it can naturally be called a gathering. Because, between the three points, the straight line distance is the shortest. All in all, Kidd is going to On the night of total eclipse, the gems were stolen again."

"But, Dad, there hasn't been a total lunar eclipse recently?" Xiaolan reminded innocently and kindly.

"Ah?" Mori Kogoro's face turned pale instantly, "This, this, maybe Kidd remembered it wrong."

"..." The corner of Conan's mouth twitched, "Maybe..."

"That's why I came up with the next sentence, 'the remembrance night of the gathering ten years ago'." 'Xinyi' took the words calmly. "This sentence tells us that Kidd's action is to commemorate his theft ten years ago, that is to say, Kidd will come again to steal "Hope" on the night ten years ago. 'hope'."

"So that's the case, it's reasonable." Nakamori calmly agreed.

"It's amazing! You really deserve to be a detective!" Sonoko immediately praised loudly.

"It's nothing." 'Xinyi' looked very humble

Conan cast a sideways glance at 'Shinichi'---of course it's nothing, you wrote the notice letter......

"Uncle Nakamori, on what day did Kidd steal 'Hope' ten years ago?" Conan didn't expect his opponent to find out again, so he decided to ask the question again.

"This... I really don't remember it, it seems to be..."

"October 10st, at 31:7 p.m., when the total lunar eclipse begins." 'Xinyi' spoke on his behalf, answering clearly word by word for everyone present.

"How do you know Xinyi?" Xiaolan was quite puzzled.

"Before I came, I had done some research on 'Hope'."

A thief, before the theft, helps the police reason.This kind of incomprehensible incident happened in front of the eyes, but no reasonable explanation could be found. This only proved that he had another purpose, but what exactly did Kidd want to do.

"It's so suspicious, why did you investigate gemstones before you came here?" Conan decided to test out, although he knew in his heart that this trick might not work, but at least...

"Ah? Because, Kidd wants to steal it..."

"You disappeared for so long, and suddenly appeared again, it's also very suspicious, you can't be Kidd!"

Officer Nakamori and Uncle Mori had a 'strange' brilliance in their eyes, and they rarely agreed.

"How...how...how come, you guys think too much...haha...haha..."

"Ahh...!!!" Although 'Xinyi' backed up again and again, he couldn't avoid it after all, and was pulled up by two people, "It hurts...it hurts...ah"

after a long time...

"No...? Well then," Nakamori finally stopped the routine inspection, "Since Kidd won't show up tonight, it's better to arrest him tomorrow."

"Are you all right, Shinichi?" Xiaolan looked at her flushed cheeks distressedly, and was puzzled to find that "Xinyi", who was "killed" by Police Officer Nakamori, was making eye contact with an irrelevant person, and she was quite angry the taste of.

It's a pity that Xiaolan didn't know, otherwise she would definitely read the message in the eyes of the two:

Evil comes around, Kidd!

Remember me, boy!
