Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

After saying that, Kogoro Mouri burst into laughter.

"Looks like I forgot to take my medicine again today," Zhiyong thought to himself.

After some pleasantries, Shiro Suzuki led Kogoro Mouri and the others to see the dark star.

According to Shiro Suzuki.

This dark star is Suzuki's guardian deity.

Ever since the Suzuki family acquired this pearl.

The Suzuki family's fortunes began to rise steadily.

The Dark Star was lost for a period of time later, and the Suzuki family suffered great losses during that time.

Fortunately, the Dark Star was quickly recovered, so the Suzuki family also valued it highly.

In preparation for collecting the treasure later, and also to launder the money from the treasure.

Zhiyong had consulted with several deceased antique collectors about their knowledge of antiques.

After this period of getting to know each other...

Zhiyong has now developed some expertise in appraising antique jewelry.

Upon seeing the dark star, Zhiyong realized that it was fake.

Although he already knew this, it was a plot he knew from his memory.

This is knowledge that Zhiyong truly understands now.

After explaining the importance of this dark star to the Suzuki family, Shiro Suzuki finished speaking.

Zhiyong was a little worried, while Kogoro Mouri praised the dark star.

But Zhiyong blurted out that the dark star was fake, which was awkward.

Although it would be very impolite to interrupt at this time.

But there was nothing else we could do.

Therefore, after Suzuki Shiro finished speaking.

Zhiyong didn't give Kogoro Mouri a chance to speak, and said with a slight smile, "It seems that Uncle Mouri was right, Kaito Kid really has been here."

Shiro Suzuki also knows Tomoyuki.

After all, Zhiyong had saved Sonoko back then.

Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Zhiyong's interruption.

Suzuki Shiro asked, puzzled, "Oh, why do you think that, Mr. Mori?"

It's not just Shiro Suzuki.

Kogoro Mouri still didn't understand when he had said such a thing.

It's just that this period of time has passed.

He also knew about Zhiyong.

Kogoro Mouri knew that Tomoyuki must have discovered something, but he gave the credit to him.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri simply smiled and waited for Tomoyuki to continue, without making any move to speak.

Kogoro Mouri's inscrutable demeanor truly intimidated everyone.

Chapter 156 April Fool's Day Announcement

Conan was concerned about that advance notice.

Even after racking his brains last night, Conan still couldn't figure it out.

Hearing Zhiyong's words now, he also felt strange.

When Zhiyong said it last night.

Conan initially thought that Zhiyong was joking, but now it seems that's not the case.

Conan knew that Kogoro Mouri hadn't figured out anything from the notice.

Now Conan can only suspect that it was Zhiyong who deciphered the pre-announcement letter.

Zhiyong said modestly, "Yesterday, when Uncle Mori was looking at that notice, he said directly that this was just a joke by Phantom Thief Kid. At the time, I didn't understand what he meant, but after seeing this black pearl today, I understand what Uncle Mori meant."

Suzuki Shiro asked curiously, "Could it be that Mr. Mori has already deciphered the meaning of the pre-announcement letter?"

Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes, it has been solved. But now I also understand what Uncle Mori really meant when he said Kidd wouldn't come."

Suzuki Shiro exclaimed in surprise, "It's really been cracked! I wonder what it means?"

Zhiyong smiled and said, "The code on the notice indicates the time and place."

"Time and place, Zhiyong, stop being so mysterious and just say what you want to say," Sonoko said eagerly.

"When the moon separates the two people, these two people refer to the artificial satellite and the sun. It is the moon that causes a lunar eclipse between the artificial satellite and the sun. That is to say, the time when Kidd appears is between 12:30 am and 4:00 am when BS radio is interrupted. Because BS is also the first letter of Dark Star, the first letters of the name."

Sonoko asked curiously, "What does the following mean?"

Zhiyong explained, "The 'wave' in this phrase refers to radio waves, along with the previous BS. In other words, he will appear from the direction of the radio waves transmitted by BS radio station. BS transmits radio waves from 45 degrees west of south and sends signals into the distance from above the horizon at an elevation angle of 42.5 degrees."

As he spoke, Zhiyong pointed to a tall building in the distance and said, "Judging from the Mika Museum, the only place that meets this condition is the roof of the Beika Grand Hotel."

Shiro Suzuki exclaimed, "Mr. Mori is truly amazing!"

Zhiyong continued, "Actually, Kidd wrote Aprilfool at the beginning. Since it's April Fool's Day, this announcement is fake. It's just a rehearsal. He won't actually come to steal it."

"Fake?" Suzuki Shiro asked doubtfully.

“Yes, this time it’s fake, but someone as arrogant as Kid will definitely appear on the roof of the Beika Grand Hotel. After seeing this black pearl, I understood what Uncle meant; Kid must have come to see it,” Zhiyong replied.

Sonoko asked in surprise, "Kid has already been here, how did you know?"

“Because I can tell that this black pearl isn’t your family heirloom. Kidd, as an international thief, is definitely better at appraising jewelry than I am, so he must have come to see it too before playing this joke on us,” Zhiyong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shiro Suzuki was taken aback and exclaimed, "What? You can tell that this one isn't real?"

Zhi Yong humbly replied, "I know a little bit."

"How did you figure that out?" Sonoko asked curiously.

"The luster on the surface of a pearl can only last for a few decades at most. Since Dark Star was purchased sixty years ago, how can it still emit such a dazzling luster now?"

"Young man, you've got some skills!" Suzuki Shiro laughed heartily.

Zhiyong added, "Although he won't actually steal it this time, since Kidd has his eye on Dark Star, he'll probably send a real warning letter soon."

Just then, a police officer walked over and asked, "Has the notice of appeal really been lifted?"

Zhiyong explained it to him again.

Kidd will not come to the Mika Museum this time to steal the Dark Star.

Zhiyong didn't want to wait there any longer.

This was something Zhiyong hadn't expected.

Sonoko was very excited when she learned that Kid would be at the Mihana Museum tonight.

"Ran, will you stay with me tonight? I really want to know what Kaito looks like," Sonoko said to Ran in a coquettish tone.

"Sonoko, isn't this a bad idea? If we go there, it will interfere with the police's work," Ran said hesitantly.

"It's alright, Ran. Let's find a good spot today and make sure we catch Kid. Let me see what he looks like," Sonoko said confidently.

Zhiyong's lips twitched as he looked at Yuanzi's extravagance.

Zhiyong came here today to observe the jewelry exhibited in the Mihua Museum.

Do you have the items needed for wisdom and courage?

It's a real shame that Zhiyong didn't find the jewelry he needed after walking around the venue.

Zhiyong was too lazy to participate in the nighttime capture plan for Kidd.

Although Zhiyong had never met Kidd.

However, after Zhiyong obtained the red gem that could enhance the space for the first time, he began to pay attention to Kid.

Whenever Zhiyong saw the announcement from Kidd published in the newspaper, he would have the gemstone appraised.

It's a great pity that Zhiyong never met him again.

However, Kidd can act as Zhiyong's informant, helping him find various clues about the gems.

Zhiyong would certainly not lay a hand on Kidd.

Finally, Kogoro Mouri, Ran, Sonoko, and the others arrived at the rooftop of the Beika Grand Hotel.

Just as Zhiyong had predicted.

That evening, Kidd indeed appeared on the roof of the Beika Hotel.

Conan, this drama queen, wanted to add more drama to his life.

However, there was Kogoro Mouri's suppression.

This left Conan quite helpless.

Who can blame Conan for being a complete weakling?

Although the police had made many preparations in advance and deployed a large number of officers.

But this was all a farce.

In the end, Kidd left safely, leaving behind a new farewell letter.

"On April 19th, aboard the Queen Salbis, departing from Yokohama's main port, I will come to claim that genuine Dark Star. Phantom Thief Kid."

Zhiyong felt perfectly normal that the police couldn't catch Kidd.

If they could catch Kidd, the police would have arrested him long ago.

After all, this wasn't the first time the police had clashed with Kidd.
