Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 137 Kaito: This riddle is very simple! (Save with tears 2)

In the Rice Flower Museum.

Upon learning that Kogoro Mori was invited, Suzuki Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki, chairman of the Suzuki Group, extended a warm welcome to him.

After introducing the family heirloom jewel "Black Star" in their collection, he explained the full contents of the notice to Maori Kogoro:
【April fool,

When the moon separated the two,
I will be in the name of the dark star,

Invited to ride on the waves,
I will surely come.

——Kaito Kidd】

……

"…So, you're just going to play tricks on people tonight?"

Gin was driving and talking on the phone, his eyes full of speechlessness.

"Ah? Not really...it's April Fools' Day after all?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little embarrassed.

Gin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "April Fool's Day is just for fun, don't explain... Who else can understand your warning letter!"

The person on the other end of the phone was Kaito Kid, Kaito Kuroba.

Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and said, "No way? I thought I explained the code very simply..."

"...How can it be simple?" Gin looked at the code written on his hand speechlessly, "If you don't look carefully, you won't know that what you wrote is a code."

This was not the first time he had talked to Kuroba Kaito on the phone, but every time it was Kaito's mission, Gin would always complain about it.

And probably because Gin told him that Kuroba Toichi was still alive, Kuroba Kaito was as happy as a child every time he called...

"Eh? Can't you see that it's a secret code?" Kuroba Kaito fell into deep thought.

"A simple-minded person might think you were going to walk across the river to the museum and steal the gems."

Gin made a bold guess.

A police officer who was on duty by the river sneezed.

Kuroba Kaito agreed, "That's true. With the intelligence of those policemen, they might have set up a device near the river."

Gin rolled his eyes and continued to pick out words: "Also, didn't you think that someone would think you were playing a trick on them when they saw 'April 4st'?"

Kuroba Kaito thought for a while.

"Probably not, because I haven't played a trick on them on April Fools' Day yet."

Gin: "..."

Well, that's a very strong reason.

"Then tell me what 'When the moon separates us' means?"

A vein popped out on Gin's forehead.

He was very glad that he was not a policeman, otherwise his blood pressure would have soared after seeing this warning letter - he couldn't understand it at all!

Just like when you think of a riddle, you must have a complete idea in mind... but if you ask someone else to guess it, first that person must know your train of thought.

Gin's reasoning ability is all focused on tracking clues. He has no idea about secret codes unless they are riddles, letters, permutations and combinations.

Moreover, he himself was not interested in these things, he just had to learn them because of the organization.

"Isn't this very simple? 'The moon separated the two', one of the two is the artificial satellite, and the other is the sun..." Kuroba Kaito began to explain proudly.

"I can understand artificial satellites, but why do you want to personify the sun?"

Gin complained expressionlessly.

"And that time, that moment when the moon intervenes between the two, that is when the BS radio station is interrupted, that is, from twelve to four in the morning..."

Gin: "..."

He didn't know where to start complaining.

Kuroba Kaito was still very excited: "Look, Uncle Blade, isn't the abbreviation of 'Black Star' BS?"

He had said this, and Gin basically understood the next code. He rubbed his brows and said, "So, 'riding the waves' refers to radio waves? The location where the radio waves are transmitted?" "Yes, yes, yes! What? Uncle Ren, you obviously guessed it... It seems that I have to think of a more difficult one next time..."

Kuroba Kaito wants to cause trouble again.

Gin took a deep breath and ate a lemon candy to calm down:
"I advise you not to send me those decrypted emails anymore. I'm very busy... Also, I hope you can be considerate of the police's brain cells."

It’s really not easy for the police... I wonder if Conan can crack the code with his smart brain?

Gin feels a bit hanging.

"This is an exception. After all, we are just playing... no, we are just having fun with them..."

"..."

You yourself admitted that you were fooling them!
"Also, Uncle Blade, you can't figure out the puzzles I sent you, right?"

Kuroba Kaito's laughter gradually became more and more shameless.

A cross popped up on Gin's forehead, and he was really sorry that he couldn't guess it!
"Haha, next time I'll send you a puzzle. If you can solve it, you can look at all the gems collected in the group." Gin said this almost through gritting his teeth.

"real?!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised.

"No one should cheat... But I will tell Hiroki about this." Gin smiled sinisterly, "He also knows a detective friend, you'd better not get caught by them."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it~"

……

Rice Krispie Museum.

Conan pointed his watch at the sun and gave a mysterious smile.

This puzzle...he has already figured it out!

"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, it's so boring here, I'm going back first!"

Conan ran home without waiting for Ran Mouri's response.

Suzuki Sonoko looked at Xiaolan in surprise: "Lan, didn't you say he likes reasoning very much?"

Mao Lilan also felt a little regretful: "Well... maybe you are not interested in thieves?"

She looked at her father who was boasting to the police over there and sighed helplessly.

Conan, Uncle Rei and Hiroki are not here, how can Dad hold the place together?

-

"Phantom Thief 1412? About that thief."

Dr. Agasa's residence.

The doctor was fiddling with his invention while looking at Conan strangely, "Why do you want to investigate this person?"

"He will take action tonight, and I have roughly guessed his movements." Conan sat on the sofa, drinking a glass of juice, holding a small communication device in his hand: "Speaking of which, how do I use this mobile phone? It's so small."

Conan was holding a very small phone in his hand, which was even smaller than the earrings some women wore.

Dr. Agasa guided him while looking up information:

"This is just like a mobile phone, but the buttons are a little smaller... But I have set up all the phone numbers you may often use to auto-dial, including Mr. Lin's home phone. All you have to do is press the button on the far left, then scroll down and select the number."

Conan played with the small phone curiously: "Is that so..."

Noah, who had just hacked into Conan's tracking eyes and eavesdropped on these words: [……]
In the fierce villa.

Noah's little speaker began to broadcast frantically:
"Master Retsu! Hiroki! Doctor Chengshi! Conan has a new gadget, a very small cell phone! Do you want to buy it in bulk?"

The three people who were having lunch were almost choked by Noah's loud voice.

Lie coughed twice, wiped his mouth, and said helplessly: "Noah, don't be so excited... By the way, didn't Uncle Ren just say that Hiroki and Conan should go to see Kaito tonight?"

"Well, I plan to contact Conan after dinner... and then see what Conan's props look like in the evening."

Hiroki took a sip of water, took a deep breath, and glanced at the camera with resentment.

Noah is getting less and less calm now... Should we set up a cooling-off procedure to calm Noah down?
