Chapter 556: Sending a Notice Letter, Cents

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran, who had agreed to go shopping with Fusae today, has already gone out. While Kogoro Mouri and Conan were watching over the office, they received a door-to-door commission.

The client is Makiri, a well-known stage actress. The commission is about a letter that Makiri received this morning from Kaito Kid, which states that Kaito Kid will take the sapphire ring worn by Makiri on stage, the "gem of destiny".

"Romeo, Juliet, Victor, Bravo, in the flying and interlacing of 26 letters, I will come to take away the 'gem of destiny', Kaito Kidd... There is also a poker card that is split into two halves below."

Kogoro Mori read the notice letter, repeating the words in it over and over again, but he could not figure out the secret code contained in it.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Maki took a sip of her tea. The agent sitting next to her suddenly asked, "...What do you think, Mr. Maori?"

"Emm..." Maori Kogoro, who hadn't come up with anything, pointed at the words "Jewel of Destiny" on the notice letter and answered the question with a question: "Who is this 'Jewel of Destiny'?"

"Ah, this is it." Mu Shuli took out a ring box from his arms, opened it, and showed the object inside to several people. It was a ring inlaid with a thumb-sized sapphire. The special thing was that there were three white thin lines intersecting at one point in the center of the blue ring.

“The three interlaced lines on the surface of this sapphire symbolize trust, hope and destiny, so it is called the ‘gem of destiny’. Josephine also loves sapphires, so she decided to wear it in this stage play.”

"Josephine..." This suddenly mentioned name was in Mouri Kogoro's blind spot of knowledge, but Makiri mentioned it too naturally, and his intuition told Mouri Kogoro that it would be better not to ask.

Because in three seconds...

"She's Napoleon's first princess, right?" Conan, who was pretending to be watching the fun but was actually working, spoke up at the right time to show off his talent.

Josephine was the first empress of the First French Empire. Before she married Napoleon, she was no ordinary woman. During the French Revolution, she was spared from death because of her beauty. She became a legendary woman in the Parisian social circle with her beauty, intelligence and excellent social skills.

The stage play that Maki Shuri is about to perform is titled Josephine, and naturally she is the protagonist.

"The kid knows so much," Maki Shuri's agent praised.

Maori Kogoro laughed dryly: "This kid just knows some boring things."

At this time, Conan's cell phone rang. He quickly jumped off the sofa, walked to a place farther away from Maori Kogoro and the client, took out his cell phone and took a look: "Ah, Martin?"

Why did that guy call me?
"Hey, great detective, has that Kaito Kidd done anything recently?"

So you're targeting Kidd?

"What a coincidence you asked." Conan turned around and glanced at Maki Juri: "He sent out another notice, and the people who received the notice are now coming here to ask uncle to protect the gems."

Conan added: "The style of the code in the preview letter is quite similar to his, it should be true."

The last time he saw Kaito Kidd was because of the Dusk Mansion incident. At that time, the invitation letter was just someone else using Kaito Kidd's name. This time, Conan compared it many times and it should be true, because the code is of a high level, and he has no clue now.

But what Martin cares about is not whether Kaito Kidd will come, but what Kaito Kidd's goal is.

"What gem? How much is it worth?"

"It's a sapphire ring, called the 'Gem of Destiny'. The estimated value seems to be 100 million yen?" At this point, Conan felt something was wrong: "What are you going to do?"

"One hundred million yen... I feel it's a little too little. Forget it, I won't be picky. This is it." Martin was a little dissatisfied, but it was enough to set a target for the Minions: "I have decided to steal this gem. The owner of the gem happens to be with you, right? Great Detective, please send him a notice today. I will try to finish it before noon." What's wrong with this guy? Conan sweated coldly: "I know I'm the 'Great Detective', right?"

It was already too much to tell him directly that I was going to steal something, so is it appropriate to ask him to send out a theft notice on my behalf?
Conan simply walked back to Maori Kogoro and Maki Juri, set his phone to speakerphone, and placed it on the coffee table in front of Maori Kogoro: "You talk to them yourself."

Feeling puzzled, Kogoro Mouri naturally looked at Conan with a look of "What are you doing, kid?"

Conan had to explain: "It was Martin who called. He had something to tell you after hearing about Kaito Kidd."

Makiri's expression turned worse. She hadn't even deciphered the preview letter yet, but this kid had revealed that Kaito Kid had set his eyes on her gem. This detective agency was somewhat disrespectful of the client's privacy.

However, what made her even more unhappy was yet to come.

"Face-changing kid?" Maori Kogoro looked down at the phone and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Hi, uncle." Grummartin's voice came from the phone. Makuri, who didn't know the inside story, felt it sounded a little awkward - Grummartin was not young, he was actually the same age as Dr. Agasa, around 50 years old. Of course, it sounded a little awkward for such a voice to call Kogoro Mouri uncle.

"This kid said you have something to say to us. What is it?" Although Martin couldn't see it, Kogoro Mouri still crossed his arms and looked down at the phone.

"Yes, I have something to say--" Grummartin took a deep breath and said quickly: "Conan's true identity is actually--"

"Ahhhhh——!" Conan let out a series of Master Tang-style screams as if his tail was stepped on.

If my identity is suddenly exposed here, my voice as a famous detective will end, right? In that case, I'll just make a loud noise to cover it up!
"What the hell?" Kogoro Mouri covered his ears and glared at Conan.

"Ahem, what was I trying to say?" Martin's playful voice came again: "Is the owner of the gem with uncle?"

"Hello, I'm Mu Shuli. Do you have anything to say to me?" Mu Shuli asked from across the coffee table.

"Oh, a girl?"

Martin's question made Makuri's expression look better. It seemed that the child of Detective Maori did not tell everything about her.

"I just wanted to give you a preview..." Martin finally said his real intention: "Don't worry about Kaito Kidd, because I've decided to steal your gem!"

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

Kogoro Mouri, Makiri, and Makiri's agent were all confused.

However, Martin did not explain anything further, and did not even sign it as a preview, and just hung up the phone.

"Mr. Maori?" Maki's expression became serious: "Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

I entrust you with the task of protecting the gems. The code of Kaito Kidd hasn't been cracked yet, and you've already recruited another person to steal my gems?
