“Then we have to divide everyone into groups of two and set their own passwords to prevent Kidd from sneaking into the guests.”
Sano glanced at Mao Lilan, who had just returned, and curled his lips secretly. To put it nicely, he just didn’t have the guts to conduct a big search.
And maybe the thief has already disguised himself as someone else. It’s surprising that this kind of secret code countermeasure can be useful.
However, looking at Suzuki Sonoko leaning towards him excitedly, in order to avoid more trouble, Sano still set a secret code with the other party.
Suddenly, the lights in the hall went out, and Sano raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Kaitou Kidd really didn’t have time to disguise himself as someone else, and was helpless with this secret code strategy, so he planned to attack by force?
As soon as the thought came to him, a figure in a white suit, white hat and cape jumped to the corner.
“Haha, I’m so sorry. Your secret code is of no use to me, because I have already obtained the Dark Star.”
As he spoke, Kaitou Kidd tossed the black pearl in his hand, causing everyone to exclaim “What” and “This is impossible.”
Sano raised his eyebrows in surprise again. He guessed wrong. Wasn’t Tomoko Suzuki so thick-skinned?
Speaking of which, Kaitou Kidd’s outfit looks so good. In comparison, his special attack suit is not unacceptable… By the way, this thing that looks like a big bat hanging on the wall feels a bit familiar for some reason. ?
Looking at the white bat on the corner, Sano couldn’t help but tilt his neck in confusion.
“This thief is really troublesome. In this case, it’s better to solve it quickly.”
After Suzuki Tomoko smiled calmly, she put her hand into her black bag, took out a revolver and shot Kaitou Kid twice. Kaitou Kid was shot in the chest, and he instantly dropped it and hit the table. It elicited an exclamation of surprise.
At the same moment, the extinguished light came on, and a middle-aged policeman looked at Tomoko Suzuki with a livid face: “What are you doing? How could you kill him!?”
…So the rich man takes a gun and doesn’t even ask?
Sano watched from the sidelines as Tomoko Suzuki blew smoke from the muzzle of the gun. Or was it because the other party paid for a gun license and had it in hand?
Will this work? Can I find a chance to get one myself?
“Why are you so nervous, officer?”
Tomoko Suzuki still smiled: “He’s not dead at all.”
“What?”
The policeman subconsciously turned around and saw Kaitou Kidd, who should have been a corpse, sitting on the table holding his hat and smiling.
“If I hadn’t used a model gun just now and this was the real Phantom Thief Kid, I think he would have been tied up with a tablecloth by the guards.”
Tomoko Suzuki’s mouth curved even further: “Yes, this is actually the genius magician I specially invited to entertain everyone, Mr. Sanada Ichizo!”
That Sanada Kazuzo also walked up to Tomoko Suzuki, took off his hat, and confidently greeted the people around him.
There was a burst of applause in the banquet hall. Sanada Kazuzo once again mocked the real Phantom Thief Kid, and then called on everyone to go to the podium to watch him perform magic, causing the atmosphere in the hall to instantly change.
Co-writing is a joke.
Sano curled his lips rather speechlessly. Even the gun was a model gun, which was boring.
Seeing Sanada Kazuzo performing magic tricks, Sano had no intention of joining in the fun.
Because just when Tomoko Suzuki fired the model gun, Sano suddenly remembered a question.
So is this party on the ship really just a simple operation to catch a thief?
Sano glanced at Conan who was following Mao Lilan.
…With this god of plague and everything being done, it should be impossible.
Judging from past experience, someone must die on this ship, and there is a high probability that it will be someone who passed by Sano’s eyes.
For example, Tomoko Suzuki, Kazuzo Sanada, or the few guests who had greeted the Mori family before, or even the Kaitou Kid.
But if someone really dies, the first suspect will be Kaitou Kidd, so the probability that the other person is the deceased or the real murderer will become smaller…
Sano stood alone in the corner, stroking his chin and thinking wildly, as if he was in two completely different worlds from those who crowded together to watch magic.
Until a certain moment, Sano raised his head and just looked at Mao Lilan who looked back.
Mao Lilan nodded politely and smiled, then turned back and raised his hand to express that he wanted to participate in Sanada Ichisan’s magic.
Um……
Um?
Um? ? ?
Sano didn’t pay much attention to this scene at first, but just after a few seconds, he felt something was wrong.
Normally, if Mao Lilan saw herself “alone” standing outside the crowd, would she just smile like this?
…Absolutely not!
Mao Lilan would not be so un-angelic!
So, what makes an angel no longer an angel?
There can only be one answer.
Recalling that Mao Lilan had briefly disappeared from his sight in the name of looking for Conan, Zuo Yeli immediately made a guess.
Kaitou Kidd has indeed blended into the crowd, and he was replaced by Mao Lilan, a best friend who has a very good relationship with Suzuki Sonoko, so that it will be easier for later operations!
In an instant, the image of “Maorilan” in Sano Sano changed from a beautiful girl to a pile of banknotes.
What a pity, I decided on the 30 million!
Just as Sano was about to walk over and tug on Mao Lilan’s face to see if he could pull off any human skin mask, another exclamation suddenly erupted from the crowd.
Sano listened for a while, and it turned out that the card that Mao Lilan had just pulled out from Sanada Kazuzo’s hand actually had a message from Kaitou Kidd on it.
Looking at Sanada Kazuzo who was already panicking and sweating profusely, Sano was even more convinced that Mao Lilan was Kaitou Kidd pretending to be.
Maybe there is indeed a gap in magic between Sanada Kazuzo and Kaitou Kidd, but it shouldn’t be so big that they can replace each other’s cards without anyone noticing.
After all, Sanada Kazuzo is also the top magician in the country.
Unless the person who did it was not Kaitou Kidd in the dark, but Kaitou Kidd who was disguised as Maori Lan and was a magic participant.
“Everyone, calm down and confirm the password first, everyone confirm the password first!”
The policeman yelled to stabilize the mood of the guests, for fear of causing any trouble. Then a ship staff also ran into the banquet hall and reported to Suzuki Tomoko: “We will arrive at Tokyo Port in half an hour. !”
With only half an hour left, Sano looked at Mao Lilan, so this guy should be about to take action, right?
“Hey, the system task has been triggered.”
[Please protect the real dark star from being stolen by Kuroba Kaito. If you complete it, you will get one hundred strengthening points. The remaining time of the mission is – 0:29:59].
Actually triggered the mission?
Sano looked at the half-hour mission with some surprise, which was exactly the same as the time required to arrive at Tokyo Port, but then again.
Who is Kuroba Kaito?
It seems…a bit familiar?
“Ah, I’m sorry, could you please help me pick up my pearls?”
At the same time, the dark star hanging on Mao Lilan’s chest seemed to have fallen to the ground and rolled far away, calling for other guests to help pick it up.
Although there is no evidence, Mao Lilan should be Kaitou Kidd, and Kaitou Kidd should be Kaito Kuroba. As long as he can be captured on the spot, the mission will be completed.
Sano pushed aside the guests in front of him and quickly approached Mao Lilan.
But in the next second, an explosion suddenly sounded, and a large amount of purple smoke began to disperse, causing the crowd to gradually become commotion.
what’s the situation?
Several more dark stars rolled on the ground and exploded at the same time, spraying out purple smoke.
“Bomb, it’s a bomb, the dark stars on our chests are all bombs!”
I don’t know which guy shouted, and the already chaotic crowd became even more chaotic.
The guests took off the dark stars from their chests and threw them on the ground, then ran out of the banquet hall in panic.
The police originally wanted to stop him, but due to the huge gap in numbers, they couldn’t hold on for more than a few seconds and were knocked open the door of the banquet hall.
With the crowd of hundreds of people surging, Sano, who was already only a few meters away from Mao Lilan, was instantly pulled away again, so that he couldn’t even see the shadow of the other party.
Tsk, deliberately creating chaos, he is indeed ready to take action.
When the flow of people became slightly smaller, Sano finally saw Mao Lilan again.
In addition to Mao Lilan, there was Tomoko Suzuki who seemed to have been knocked to the ground by an abortion.
“Are you OK?”
Mao Lilan walked towards Suzuki Tomoko, as if to reach out to help him, but Sano knew that the guy was plotting against Dark Star.
Without the obstruction of the crowd, Sano took three steps and two steps and rushed directly to Tomoko Suzuki. Without saying a word, he threw the hammer of justice and hit Mao Lilan on the head with a hammer.
“Uh-huh!”
The hammer of justice brushed against Mao Lilan’s hair, and the opponent dodged Sano’s hammer, but correspondingly, he also failed to touch Tomoko Suzuki.
“senior!?”
Suzuki Sonoko, who was next to Suzuki Tomoko, and Mao Lilan, who had avoided Sano’s hammer, both had surprised expressions on their faces: “What are you doing?”
Sano turned the hammer of justice in a circle and looked at Mao Lilan coldly: “Where did we first speak.”
Mao Lilan was stunned for a moment and smiled: “Of course it’s at school. What’s wrong with you, senior?”
“Wrong answer, Mr. Thief.”
Sano said calmly: “The first time I spoke to Maori-san was at the door of my house. It seems that your preparations were not very good.”
Mao Lilan’s smile froze, but he still forced a smile and explained: “I just had a moment…”
“forget?”
Sano tilted his neck: “Then do you dare to let me touch your face?”
The smile on Kuroba Kaito’s face finally faded away completely, and then he put on another completely different smile: “It’s really amazing. As expected of a high school detective who became famous as soon as he debuted, he actually figured it out so quickly. My disguise.”
“What?”
Suzuki Sonoko looked at Kuroba Kaito in astonishment: “Ran, no, are you really Kaitou Kidd!?”
Except for Suzuki Sonoko, the remaining people in the banquet hall were also dumbfounded. Only Conan frowned slightly, showing no signs of surprise.
Because at the moment when Sano acted, Conan also figured out a few points and understood who was the most likely person to be disguised as Kaitou Kidd.
“It’s a pity. There is not enough time. I lost this time. I will compete again next time if I have a chance.”
“By the way, let me remind you that the girl I replaced is currently lying in the lifeboat. If we don’t get there in time… she might catch a cold.”
After saying that, Kuroba Kaito threw down a flash bomb. Sano immediately closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the opponent’s figure was no longer in front of him.
Logically speaking, Sano should choose to stay with Suzuki Tomoko at this time and guard the real dark stars, but he just wants to go against the grain.
