Conan: Another Famous Detective

Sanada Kazuzo coughed lightly and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, in order to express my apology for scaring everyone, please come with me to the side of the stage to enjoy my magic show."

Although the previous performance was exposed by Akira Hanomiya, Sanada Kazuzo is still well-known as a genius magician, and many guests are willing to support him. Many people followed Sanada Kazuzo to the stage.

Among them are Xiaolan and Suzuki Sonoko.

Neither Hanemiya Akira nor the others had much interest in magic, so they just stood not far away from the crowd and chatted.

Mouri Kogoro looked at Tomoko Suzuki aside and asked:

"There are more than five hundred guests here. Each guest is wearing the protagonist of tonight's banquet - [Dark Star], but only one of them is authentic. Can you tell me which one is authentic? If I don’t know which one is the real one, and I can’t protect it!”

"Uncle Maori, I don't think we need to know which one is the real [Dark Star]. We just need to try our best to find the Kaitou Kidd who sneaked into the ship." Meng Yu said with a smile.

"Ah? Why?" Mouri Kogoro was confused.

"It's very simple. Mrs. Suzuki has taken great pains to make so many counterfeit products just to confuse Kaitou Kid. If Madam tells you who the real product is, then in order to protect [Dark Star], you must get close to the person wearing the real product. .”

"Then here's the problem. None of the guests on the ship are familiar with you. Whether you approach a certain guest or your eyes stay on him...or her for a long time, it will look strange."

"Combined with your identity as the protector of pearls, it is very likely that Kaitou Kidd, who is pretending to be someone, can guess who the real black pearl is."

"And if you create a suspicious formation to confuse Kaitou Kidd and confuse the target of protection, then the protection effect will be greatly reduced, and it will be no different from now."

"Is that so..." Mouri Kogoro suddenly realized.

Tomoko Suzuki looked at Mengyu, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes:

"As expected of you, you are the sister of the famous detective Kudo Shinichi and the assistant of the famous detective Akira Hanomiya. Mengyu, your reasoning and analysis skills are also very good!"

"Auntie, you are flattered." Meng Yu said with a smile.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled kindly at Mengyu, and then said:

"Although I can't tell you directly who owns the pearl, I can still give you some hints. With the reasoning skills of these people, it must not be difficult to deduce the whereabouts of the pearl."

"This [Dark Star] fascinated my grandfather sixty years ago precisely because of the malachite green luster it retains. Therefore, I have given it to a woman who is most suitable for it."

"The most suitable woman for it?" Mouri Kogoro chewed on this sentence.

"Of course, maybe I will also hand it over to a man!" Tomoko Suzuki added with a chuckle.

"Madam, doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?" Mouri Kogoro said speechlessly.

"oops!"

Suddenly, a girl's exclamation came from the other side of the stage.

Several people cast their gaze over.

It turned out that Xiaolan accidentally scattered the playing cards on the ground, and she was picking up the scattered cards with Suzuki Sonoko.

Soon, Xiaolan organized all the playing cards and handed them to Sanada Kazuzo: "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if the card falls." Sanada Kazuzo smiled.

Sanada Kazuzo sorted out the cards, then took out a small pile, leaned down, fanned out the small pile of playing cards with their backs facing up, and handed them to Xiaolan, smiling: "Then, let me draw one, Miss." Cards, I will use my clairvoyance eyes to see what cards you draw."

"Xiaolan, hurry up, draw the one on the right!" Suzuki Sonoko on the side actively suggested.

Xiaolan smiled and nodded, and then drew a card according to Suzuki Sonoko's suggestion.

The moment she saw the card, Xiaolan was obviously stunned.

"This is..." Suzuki Sonoko was also surprised when she saw the content on the card.

The content on the playing card does not belong to any of the 54 cards, but a piece of paper with a piece of text written on it.

"I came to you like Xisha who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt - Kaitou Kidd." Xiaolan read out the text softly.

Although Xiaolan's voice was not loud, all the guests consciously kept silent because they were watching the performance, so almost all the guests surrounding the stage heard this speech.

"It's Kaitou Kidd!"

"He showed up!"

"when……"

The guests suddenly fell into a panic.

"Everyone, please stay calm! Creating commotion is exactly Kaitou Kidd's purpose. Please don't mess up!" As soon as Chamu saw this sign, he immediately shouted loudly.

Other police officers also quickly cooperated to calm the guests.

Yu Gongming and others also gathered around Xiaolan at this time, looking at the playing card with the note on it.

"This, isn't this another prank of yours, Mr. Sanada?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Sanada Kazuzo with suspicion.

"Absolutely not, my magic definitely does not include this part!" Sanada Kazuzo quickly waved his hand and explained.

"Mr. Sanada, could you please let us check to see if you are someone else pretending to be you? After all, you are the one most likely to cheat on the cards."

"sure!"

So, after a face search, it was discovered that Sanada Kazuzo had no trace of disguise.

"Although there are no traces of disguise, maybe Mr. Sanada is Kaitou Kidd, and this is his true identity, so there are no traces of disguise." Mouri Kogoro raised a new question.

"This may be very low." Yu Gongming shook his head and said:

"If Mr. Sanada is Kaitou Kidd, why did he directly let the audience draw the playing card with the note during the magic show? In this way, he has become the subject of major suspicion, and if he is Kaitou Kidd himself, , and after stealing the [Dark Star], once Mr. Sanada disappears from the ship, he will be wanted by the police as Kaitou Kidd."

"In addition, during the process of confirming the traces of camouflage, the police also found Mr. Sanada's body and found no other items except a banquet invitation and some playing cards."

"Kaitou Kidd will always run away after stealing things, right? But, if Mr. Sanada is Kaitou Kidd, why would he run away?"

"There were no flash bangs and no other escape props. How could he escape from the police siege without any disguise?"

"Officer Nakamori, you have dealt with Kaito Kidd the most. When did Kidd escape without disguise or props?" Akira Hanomiya looked at Officer Nakamori who came here to check the situation.

"Well, to put it this way, it is true that every time that guy escapes, he uses flash bombs, smoke bombs and other similar weapons to confuse his sight, or creates a disturbance, waiting for an opportunity to sneak away disguised as someone else, or directly escape with a hang glider," Zhongmori the police officer recalled.

"It seems that Mr. Sanada is no longer Kaitou Kidd." Ran said.

"But if Mr. Sanada hadn't done anything, how could Kaito Kidd put the cards up quietly?" Mouri Kogoro asked in confusion.

"Anyway, please don't leave the banquet hall for now."

After Officer Zhongmori finished speaking, he continued to patrol elsewhere.

Seeing this, several people had no choice but to find a place and start waiting with nothing to do.

Conan frowned since he found the note.

At a certain moment, his brows suddenly stretched, revealing a confident smile.

Suzuki Sonoko was also a little bored at this time and wanted to chat with her best friend Xiaolan.

However, when her eyes turned to Xiaolan, she suddenly said in surprise:

"Xiaolan, why is your [Dark Star] missing?"
