People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

After leaving the shrine, Asakawa Yu and the others began to wander aimlessly.

But Conan seemed a little distracted.

"Are you thinking about the 12th character?" Hattori couldn't help but ask when he saw Conan's furrowed brows.

"Yes, I was thinking it would be better if L were a Russian letter."

"Russian alphabet?"

"The Russian word 'Ka' is the same as the English word 'K,' but that doesn't help me guess the time. Another thing that puzzles me is the signature on the notice. It says 'The Magician of the End of the Century,' but Kaito Kid has never used that name."

"Also, Kid usually steals things like jewels, so why is he eyeing an egg this time?" Conan was puzzled; this time, the notice seemed strange in every way.

"Maybe he suddenly got the urge or something." Since it was Hattori's first time facing off against Kaito Kid, he didn't know him well.

"Does Asakawa-nii have any ideas?" Seeing that Hattori couldn't be relied on, Conan turned his gaze to Asakawa, hoping that he could give him some clues.

"Me? I do have some ideas, do you want to hear them?" When Conan asked her, Asakawa Yu didn't hide anything and directly told them that she already had some ideas.

"What? Could it be that you already know the true meaning of the notice, Asakawa-nii?!" Unlike Hattori's superficial understanding of Asakawa, Conan, who had known Asakawa Yu for a longer time, immediately understood the meaning behind Asakawa Yu's words.

The fact that he dared to say such a thing meant that he had completely deciphered the meaning of that notice, and now he was just asking himself whether he wanted to know the answer directly.

"Yes, so, do you want me to tell you directly what that notice means?" Sure enough, if Conan nodded, Asakawa Yu would tell him the answer directly.

"No need!" Conan and Hattori shouted in unison in an instant.

They then exchanged glances, followed by a slight smile.

"As a detective, it's only fun if you solve the mystery yourself. Knowing the answer directly is no fun at all."

Hearing Hattori say that, Conan nodded in agreement.

After hearing Asakawa Yu admit that he had deciphered the notice, Conan felt a sense of powerlessness once again, but it quickly disappeared.

Losing to Asakawa is not shameful; what is shameful is being able to rely on others!

So there's a reason why Kaito Kid would send the notice to Asakawa Hane, but!

He will prove with his own actions that even if he doesn't solve the mystery before Asakawa, he can still catch Kaito Kid!

[Conan: Asakawa is nothing but a nobody. Once I've mastered my skills, I'll crush him under my feet!]

I thought Conan was going to become withdrawn again this time.

There's no way around it; if you had a friend who was better and more capable than you at everything, you'd feel isolated too.

On the other hand, Asakawa Yu wasn't surprised. He knew Conan and the others' personalities. Even if he said he already knew the answer, they would still choose to solve the mystery on their own instead of asking him.

If Conan and his friends only ever come to him for help, then he should consider whether he's led Conan astray.

"Alright, you two go eat first. I have some things to take care of." After the conversation, Asakawa Yu prepared to leave. His presence would only add pressure to them.

"Where are you going?" Conan turned to look at him.

"I already said I have some errands to run. You guys can just go back after you finish eating, don't worry about me." With that, Asakawa Yu left without looking back, one hand in her pocket, the other waving at Conan and the others, leaving only her back view.

"That guy is really mysterious..."

Compared to Hattori's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize), Conan was already used to it.

"Forget about it for now. Let's find a place to eat first, and while we're at it, let's think carefully about the contents of the notice."

…………

In the evening, after taking a stroll, the two returned to the Suzuki Museum.

At the entrance, a very beautiful woman was talking to her secretary, Masato Nishino, with a butler beside her.

Conan and his friends slowly walked into the art museum. On the way, Hattori seemed to have thought of something interesting.

He raised his arm to show Conan, "Look, this is very interesting. If 3 a.m. is L, then now it's '^'."

In an instant, a flash of inspiration struck Conan, and he instantly grasped the meaning of things he hadn't understood.

"Hattori, Kid's announcement wasn't for 3:00 AM, but for 7:20 PM!"

After saying that, Conan immediately started running.

"What did you say?! Wait, where are you going, Kudo?!"

Hattori was a little confused, and just then, it suddenly started to rain.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!

"It's raining? The weather forecast said it would be sunny..." Suddenly, Hattori's eyes sharpened, and he hurriedly called out to Conan.

"Wait a minute, Kudo! The Sky Pavilion isn't the castle tower, it's the Tsutenkaku Tower!"

"The Tower of Heaven?!"

"That's right, the top of the Tongtian Pavilion is used to predict the weather."

Upon hearing this, Conan's expression turned to surprise. "What did you say?!"

………………

The moon hung high in the sky, and a pigeon flew to the top of the tower, eventually landing on a person's hand.

A white cape and a tall white top hat.

At this moment, he stood at the top of the Tongtian Pavilion, his cloak fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of mystery to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin."

Behind him, however, was a different kind of flamboyant white, unlike the Phantom Thief Kid's.

Asakawa Yu was standing behind him, dressed in a black suit, leaning against the wall as if he had blended into the darkness.

"Caw caw!" A crow flew to Asakawa Yu's shoulder and finally settled firmly on it.

"You're back. You've had a long day, Pochi." After comforting Pochi, Asakawa Yu turned his gaze to the Phantom Thief Kid standing in front of him.

"Alright, Mr. Phantom Thief, now you can tell me why you specifically asked me to come here to meet you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kid slowly turned around, and the two men's eyes met in the air, like a meeting between an angel and a devil!
