Chapter 219: Conan shivering in the cold wind
After twelve o'clock at night, on the rooftop of the Haido City Hotel.
Conan stood at the edge of the building, striking a cool pose.
At his feet was a firework; as long as it was lit, a large number of police would arrive immediately.
Kogoro Mouri, Ginzo Nakamori, and several police officers were hiding in the safety passage leading to the rooftop.
Below the Haido City Hotel, there were over two hundred police officers deployed, waiting quietly for Kaitou Kid's arrival.
At the passage entrance, Uncle Mouri raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's one minute until 12:30, will Kaitou Kid really come?"
"He will definitely come." Ginzo Nakamori was extremely certain and very confident.
"Since he wrote it on his notice letter, of course he won't not come!"
Ginzo Nakamori also nodded in agreement.
Kogoro Mouri spoke hesitantly: "But, didn't Akaso-san say that Kaitou Kid has already gone far away and won't come tonight?"
"Also, Sonoko's family and Ran trust him very much, so they didn't come tonight at all."
"What does a charlatan know? Kaitou Kid will definitely come!"
As the management officer of the Second Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Ginzo Nakamori firmly believed in Kaitou Kid's integrity.
He also looked down on professions like Onmyoji.
If we could catch criminals by relying on divination, what would we police be for?
One minute passed quickly, and 12:30 arrived.
Ginzo Nakamori looked around seriously: "Everyone be careful, Kaitou Kid should have arrived already, let's wait quietly for him to appear."
"Okay." Others nodded one after another.
In the night, cold winds blew. Conan stood in the biting cold wind, looking vigilant and observing his surroundings.
Damn it, why does it feel so cold?
He silently wrapped his little clothes tighter.
Just hold on a little longer, as long as I catch Kaitou Kid, I can hold my head high.
Then, let's see if Akaso Kaze still dares to look down on me.
In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and Conan raised his hand to look at his watch: "Strange, Kaitou Kid still hasn't come."
"Why hasn't he come yet? Could it be that our code-cracking was wrong?"
At the passage entrance, Uncle Mouri was also a bit suspicious.
"It's impossible to be wrong, it's definitely here, and the time is also correct."
Ginzo Nakamori's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "Let's keep waiting, that guy will definitely come!"
He was already frozen and couldn't take it anymore, so he said he was going downstairs to control the overall situation and hid in a warm car.
Only Kogoro Mouri and Ginzo Nakamori were left struggling in the cold wind.
"He must have discovered us and is thinking of ways to deal with us, right?"
Ginzo Nakamori said with a frown.
"But it doesn't matter, since Kaitou Kid's notice letter has been sent out, he will definitely appear, even if there are many people!"
Seeing him so persistent, Kogoro Mouri could only nod, "Let's wait a bit longer."
At this time, Conan at the edge of the rooftop was already frozen stiff.
He curled up his body and hid under the parapet.
Fortunately, he was small and could barely block the wind.
Damn it, Kaitou Kid, are you a woman?
Why are you so dawdling about keeping an appointment?
You have no sense of time at all.
Look at the watch, there are still three hours left.
Damn it~
Conan was too cold, he lit the lighter he had prepared to set off the fireworks.
In the firelight, he seemed to see his warm home, and the pure and kind Ran.
She was... happily snuggled in Akaso Kaze's arms.
So frustrating~
Conan silently turned off the lighter and continued to shiver in the cold wind.
Soon, one hour passed...
Two hours passed...
Three hours passed...
Time reached past four o'clock, and Ginzo Nakamori raised his hand to look at his watch.
Then he sneezed and walked out from the corner, roaring: "Damn it! The agreed time has already passed, Kaitou Kid didn't come at all!"
Downstairs, hearing his roar, the two hundred or so police officers who were frozen stiff all looked at each other speechlessly.
Kogoro Mouri reached out and rubbed his nose, saying: "I really should have listened to my son-in-law. He was right, Kaitou Kid really didn't come."
At the edge of the building, Conan had a look of wanting to cry.
Someone, save me.
I'm frozen stiff and can't move.
Half an hour ago, I had already thought of it.
Today is April Fool's Day.
Kaitou Kid could completely use this as an excuse not to come. ===== CHAPTER 221 =====
