🤗 Please if you find any incorrect names let me know in comments so I can fix them 

Inspector Nakamori was bewildered by Kogoro Mouri's loud laughter: "Aren't you the Mouri from Division One back then?"

"You are too naive, Inspector. Don't you know? 'Waves' refers to the sea, where seawater washes back and forth. 'Stars' refers to celebrities, meaning the idol star, Yoko Okino, who will be holding a concert tomorrow at the Beika Activity Center!" Mouri said excitedly.

"And, Miss Yoko Okino's last song has been confirmed as 'Moonlight Lady'! In other words, Phantom Thief Kid will definitely come from the Beika Activity Center after the concert ends at 9 PM!"

"Five levels of idiocy added." Conan didn't think it was like that at all.

"Heh heh, Uncle Mouri, I can't believe you can talk such nonsense with a straight face." Yuu found Mouri's deduction both amusing and frustrating. Although Conan and Yuu both thought Mouri was talking nonsense, Inspector Nakamori and Jirokichi Suzuki were convinced by Mouri's deduction.

"It certainly makes sense!" "As expected of the famous detective Mouri!"

"Alright, then units C to E, immediately gather around the Beika Activity Center!" Inspector Nakamori immediately rearranged the assignments according to Mouri's analysis.

"Yes!" The police officers present replied.

"Hey—!" Conan was about to stop them, but on second thought, he himself hadn't deciphered the message, so he tacitly approved.

"Should we get something to eat? I'm a little hungry." Yuu suggested to everyone.

"Yuu, you're still the same, always getting hungry so easily." Sonoko sighed.

"Am I? Hahaha." Yuu scratched his head.

"Wait, could it be?" Hearing about food, Conan suddenly thought of something. He ran to the glass window and looked out. "Conan, what are you doing?" Ran followed him.

"Checking direction with my watch."

"Direction?" Ran was a little confused.

"That's right! First, point the hour hand of your watch towards the sun. Since Japan is in the Northern Hemisphere, the exact middle of the angle between the hour hand and 12 o'clock is due south! Seeing Ran's surprised expression, Conan quickly lied, "I'm just checking if the common knowledge little Yuu-brother taught me is accurate."

"Oh…"

"So, south is the 1 o'clock direction, and southwest is the 11:30 direction." Conan rotated his watch and pointed it at a tall building. "I understand, Phantom Thief Kid!"

11 PM, Mouri Detective Agency.

Conan tiptoed to Ran's door, saw Ran sleeping soundly, then quietly closed the door. He went out to the street and called Professor Agasa.

"What? You want me to investigate the matter of Phantom Thief Kid?" Professor Agasa asked over the phone.

"Please, Professor, there should be information in my dad's crime archives."

"What do you need it for?"

"I want to meet him, so I want to know about him first."

"Meet him? Do you know where he is?" Professor Agasa was very surprised by Conan's decision.

"Yes, I already know the location he hinted at in the notice letter!"

"Then why don't you notify the police?"

"Because I want to meet this Phantom Thief Kid. I want to see what this retro thief who sends notice letters looks like!" After hanging up with the Professor, Conan ran towards his destination. "'When the moon separates the two people,' these two people refer to the artificial satellite and the sun.

That is to say, if the moon enters between the artificial satellite and the sun, causing a lunar eclipse, then his appearance time is from 12:30 AM to 4:00 AM, when the BS radio broadcast is interrupted! Yes! This happens to be the first letters, B and S, of the English words 'Black Star' for the Dark Star.

'With the invitation of the waves,' these waves refer to radio waves, meaning he will appear from the direction of the BS radio waves. The BS radio waves are transmitted from the south to the west at a 45-degree angle, with an elevation of 42.3 degrees. Looking from above the Beika Museum, the only suitable location is the rooftop of the Haido City Hotel!"

"Professor, was that Shinichi calling?" Yuu asked, seeing Professor Agasa about to leave.

"Yes, he said he was going to meet Phantom Thief Kid. I'm going to Shinichi's house to find some information he needs." With that, Professor Agasa left.

"Oh, that's truly interesting."

"You want to go see it too?" Haibara, sitting in the living room looking at the laptop screen, spoke up.

Yuu chuckled, "I'm also a bit curious about this thief. It wouldn't hurt to take a look."

Yuu walked into his room and looked at the things on his bed. "No matter how I look at it, this suit is really cool." That's right, the Batman suit Yuu had previously commissioned from Crown Prince Mohammed of Saudi Arabia had arrived. Other items hadn't been completed yet. Yuu planned to wear the suit tonight and have a go with Kaito Kid.

Just as Conan ran into the Haido City Hotel, in a white sedan parked at the hotel entrance, "Officer! A friend ran into the hotel!" The person in the driver's seat reported to the person in the back seat. "What should we do?"

"It's fine! Our target is that phantom thief!" The person in the back seat said, smoking a pipe, unperturbed. "Hmph! No matter how powerful that guy is, he can't disguise himself as a child!"

On the rooftop, Conan placed a small firecracker into an empty cola bottle while checking his watch. "It's already 0:28. Now I just need to wait for that guy to appear." Just then, Conan's phone rang. "How is it, Professor?"

"Shinichi! I compared your dad's files with recent newspapers, and found that Phantom Thief Kid is indeed a mysterious figure. He first appeared in Paris 18 years ago, but then disappeared 10 years later. Some legends say he died, but 8 years later, today, he has revived again, and his main area of activity is Japan."

"18 years ago, he should be quite old already, right? Did it mention what kind of person he is?"

"Outsiders have countless adjectives to describe him, such as 'Heisei Holmes' or 'Magician in the Moonlight,' but among these names, there's one popular name known to most people."

"Popular name?"

"It's said that a young novelist, deeply interested in this Phantom Thief Kid who toys with police from various countries like children, made a joke about his number, 1412, pronouncing it as KID!"

"KID?"

"That's right, so, Phantom Thief Kid is known as…" Just as Professor Agasa said this, Conan felt a whirlwind behind him. He turned around and saw a young man in a white suit and trousers, wearing a white top hat, draped in a white cape, and with a monocle, descending from the sky.

"Phantom Thief Kid!" Professor Agasa's voice came from the phone.

Kaito Kid jumped down from the skylight and walked towards Conan. "Hey, what's wrong, Shinichi! Shinichi!" Professor Agasa's voice came from the phone. Conan hung up the phone.

"White cape and white top hat, perfectly flawless moves. His face is a bit obscured by the monocle and backlight, but he's surprisingly young. Thirty-something, or twenty-something, no, even younger!" Conan began to observe Kid.

"Hi there, little friend, what are you doing in this place?" Kaito Kid asked Conan in a relaxed tone, his hands in his pants pockets.
