Chapter 373: The time is 3 o'clock?
"Cough cough,"
Maori Kogoro coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
"I need to think about this question carefully."
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko, who had previously shown great concern about the appearance of Kaito Kid, could not wait to express her own opinion.
"Could it be that this twelfth refers to the twelfth syllable of the Japanese kyon?"
As soon as she said this, almost everyone present was shocked.
The big guys sitting here, one by one, were counting on their fingers.
"Hey! The twelfth one, isn't that si?!"
Toyama Kazuha counted out the twelfth word of the Japanese syllabary with a look of surprise.
"So it's four o'clock?"
Xiaolan asked with some excitement.
Chaki Shintaro was stunned for a moment, then looked at his subordinate Nakamori Ginzo.
Although Nakamori Ginzo was also very excited at first, he calmed down immediately. He shook his head slightly and denied this statement.
"No, no, Kaito Kid's notice can't be that simple."
"There must be other explanations for this twelfth word."
At this time, Maori Kogoro, who had been evading Nakamori Ginzo's question and observing from the side, suddenly looked shocked. He suddenly thought of something and showed his signature confident smile.
"I understand!"
"Inspector Chaki, Inspector Nakamori, I understand!"
"This twelfth word does not refer to the Japanese 50-sound system, but the twelfth of the twenty-six English letters!"
When Maori Kogoro said this, Chaki Shintaro was immediately shocked.
"So, the twelfth letter is 'L', which means three dots?!"
Nakamori Ginzo also frowned at this time.
"If it's three o'clock in the morning, it's still before dawn. This is consistent with our previous reasoning."
He also felt at this time that Kogoro Mori's reasoning made a lot of sense.
Should we say that they are indeed the same template as Crouching Dragon and Phoenix? Even their brain circuits are very compatible.
Suzuki Shiro also rolled his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he did not hesitate to praise him.
"You're worthy of being called Detective Maori. You figured it out in no time."
Seeing that several heavyweights present all agreed with his reasoning, Shiro Suzuki praised himself even more.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri couldn't hold back his inner pride and started to show everyone how he laughed with his mouth open and tongue sticking out.
Although Hattori Heiji and Conan still had some doubts in their hearts, they did not have too many thoughts, so they suppressed their doubts for the time being.
Afterwards, since everyone agreed that Kaito Kidd would appear around three o'clock in the morning tomorrow, Kazuha suggested that they continue to take Xiaolan and the others to visit Osaka.
..............
Three hours later
Ginzo Nakamori once again walked into the president's office with two policemen.
This time, Chaki Shintaro had already taken his men to the castle tower to make preparations, so he did not come.
"President Suzuki, we are about to begin."
Ginzo Nakamori said in a deep voice to Shiro Suzuki.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Inspector Nakamori."
Suzuki Shiro smiled and pointed to the box containing the Egg of Memory on the table.
"Please keep it well."
"Don't worry, President Suzuki!"
Nakamori Ginzo was as aggressive as a soldier who had signed a military order.
"I will definitely protect your eggs!"
Forehead......
Nakamori Ginzo spoke seriously but not so seriously, which made the corners of everyone's mouth twitch.
Although what he said is not wrong, but why it sounds so strange coming out of Nakamori Ginzo's mouth.
"Cough cough,"
Maori Kogoro coughed twice to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Inspector Nakamori, are you going to take the Egg of Memory to the exhibition hall?"
"wrong!"
Nakamori Ginzo's face was shocked again, and he said in a deep voice,
"This Egg of Memory is not for the exhibition hall. The one in the exhibition hall is a fake!"
"What?! Fake?"
Kogoro Mori was shocked. He didn't expect that he would get such information just by asking casually.
"Of course!"
Nakamori Ginzo continued,
"In the past, we were all too honest. Just like the wars in ancient China, we valued etiquette and morality."
"This is totally unacceptable for a thief!"
As he spoke, Nakamori Ginzo looked quite smug.
"This time, I have learned from my past mistakes. I will not leave the treasure there and wait for him to steal it!"
"We have to take the initiative this time. We have to hide the Egg of Memory!"
"We need to confuse people and hide the Egg of Memory in a secret place!"
"I see!"
Maori Kogoro suddenly realized, and looked at Nakamori Ginzo with a little admiration in his eyes.
"So, where is it hidden?"
"Humph!"
Nakamori Ginzo snorted coldly and glanced at Maori Kogoro.
"I will never tell you."
"This place is only known to me and my two men."
"Of course, there is absolutely no way that the two of them are disguised as Kaito Kidd!"
As he said this, Ginzo Nakamori immediately reached out and pinched the faces of his two subordinates in order to demonstrate to Kogoro Mori and the others.
Nakamori Ginzo's words made Maori Kogoro very upset. I admired your ideas before, but now you treat me like that?!
Then, Maori Kogoro also rushed over, pinched Nakamori Ginzo's face, and shouted,
"I also want to check whether you are Kaito Kidd in disguise!"
This pinch made Nakamori Ginzo angry. He immediately yelled and pinched Mori Kogoro's face, determined to test Mori Kogoro's authenticity.
Looking at the childish performances of the two uncles, Ginzo Nakamori and Kogoro Mori, Hakuba Matsu, who was sitting next to Shiro Suzuki, was also speechless.
Both of them are middle-aged men in their forties. Can they have a little bit of image?
Yes, Bai Masong was also in the president's office at this time.
The reason is that he must ensure that the Egg of Memory is not taken away by others.
After all, the purpose of bringing Sato Miwako and Haibara Ai here was to see the magnificent scene created by the last two eggs.
It would be troublesome if someone took this egg away during the journey.
