Chapter 197 Handcuff Mao Lilan

"So that's it. Kaitou Kid is a master of magic. He plays this role well!" Shoji Subamoto praised from the sidelines.

As Sanada Kazuzo changed out of Kaitou Kid's clothes and put on his own outfit, he said: "That's right, whether it's him or me, we are both deceiving artists."

These words made Conan pouted subconsciously, and he remembered what Kaitou Kidd had said to him before.

【artist……】

"I am a magician through and through. I will never lose to a guy like him who works as a thief." After changing his clothes, Sanada Kazuzo smiled and said to the people around him: "Dear guests, please come to the side of the stage.

, enjoy the magic show I bring to everyone."

Just when everyone followed Sanada Kazuzo's words and walked towards the stage.

Conan suddenly felt something, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked around with a serious look on his face.

The man's sixth sense told Conan that he felt that Kaitou Kidd had slipped into the guests.

It's just that Kaitou Kidd is good at disguise, so with the naked eye, Conan can't tell who it is.

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by Sanada Kaizo. Sanada performed the most basic card magic trick of a magician. Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan also went up to grab a good seat, right in the front row, so that they could get closer.

Watch the performance from a distance.

As a result, before it even started, the great magician was provoked by the mean-mouthed Mifune Takuya, and then the playing cards were accidentally shaken to the ground by Tomizawa Yuzo and scattered all over the floor.

When Suzuki Yuanzi and Mao Lilan saw this, they quickly helped him pick it up.

Mouri Kogoro was preparing to watch the magic show with great interest. At this time, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled by someone, and he subconsciously lowered his head and looked over.

Conan raised his head and asked, "Uncle, I remember you brought a list of people to attend this party."

"Yes." Maori Xiaowu nodded.

"Lend it to me for a look," Conan said.

"Is this it?" Mouri Kogoro took the list out of his inner pocket and handed it to him, "Here."

Conan took the list and immediately looked through it.

At this time, the magic show officially begins.

To be honest, Aoki Song was a little disappointed. It turned out to be the most basic card show. The only highlight was that the card Mao Lilan drew was not a card but a letter from Kaitou Kidd.

"Just like Xisha who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt, I have come to your side, Kaitou Kidd." Mao Lilan read out the content on the card.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and some started to make a commotion. "Kaitou Kidd, Kaitou Kidd has appeared?"

Ochagi Shintaro immediately stepped forward to maintain order: "Quiet, everyone, quiet, quiet. Please confirm the password with your partners."

Then Ochagi Shintaro said to Officer Nakamori: "Nakamori, that black pearl was probably stolen by that guy!"

"That guy hasn't stolen anything at all, nor has he escaped from this place." A confident smile appeared on Conan's face. He had solved the double-layered puzzle set by Suzuki Tomoko and Kaito Kid.

Kaitou Kidd doesn't know any magic at all, he's just an ordinary person who can do tricks.

As soon as Aoki Song heard this, he knew that Conan was getting carried away again, and quickly interjected: "Yes, he just wants to make us shaken and fall into his trap. Even Conan's little brother can see it."

While talking, Aoki Song also rubbed Conan's little head.

After Aoki Song rubbed his head, Conan immediately woke up, put away the undisguised pride on his face, and pretended to be a seven-year-old child.

"Police Chaki, look, none of the black pearls we are wearing have been stolen. We are all wearing them. Kaitou Kidd must not have succeeded." Aoki Song said, justifying Conan's previous words.

Everyone looked around and saw that everyone around them was wearing black pearls on their chests. Indeed, there was no one who was not wearing one. It seemed that Kaito Kidd had really failed. The commotion gradually became smaller, but whispers in groups of twos and threes were inevitable.

Everyone was whispering about the sudden appearance of Kaito Kidd's card.

"Is this really the card left by Kaitou Kidd?" Tomizawa Yuzo asked with some suspicion.

"That's right!" Suzuki Sonoko said excitedly: "This card is attached to the card Xiaolan drew just now."

Sanada Ichizo frowned and said in horror: "But, how did that guy stick this thing on?"

If he hadn't noticed it yet, it couldn't be that his magic skills were so inferior to Kaitou Kid's! He was already considered a top level magician in Neon, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited by the Suzuki Foundation to perform magic.

"The whereabouts of Kaito Kidd are elusive, and everything about him is a mystery!" Shoji Shoji said with a hint of inquiry.

On the other hand, Mifune Takuya said solemnly: "The only thing that can be confirmed now is the fact that that guy has already infiltrated among the guests."

"Dear guests, calm down, calm down." Ochagi Jintaro on the ceremony stage was still doing his best to maintain order at the scene.

After listening to Mifune Takuya's words, Mouri Kogoro said with a serious face: "If you say so, could it be that he already knows where the real dark night stars are?"

At this time, Suzuki Tomoko smiled confidently, "Even if there is an eventuality, this is a prison on the sea. I don't believe that he is really that capable. He can steal the Dark Night Star from this ship with such a strict police force and successfully steal it."

Escape."

There is a reason for her confidence. Not only is the police force on the ship, there are several frigates beside the ship as it sails on the sea. There are also several helicopters in the sky. The security is so tight that ordinary people cannot escape at all.

But Kaitou Kidd is an extraordinary person!

It's a pity that Suzuki Tomoko didn't have a clear understanding of this aspect, so she underestimated Kaitou Kid.

At this time, a police officer opened the door of the banquet hall and hurriedly walked in and reported to Officer Nakamori: "Police Department, this ship will enter Tokyo Bay in less than half an hour."

"Yoshi." Officer Zhongmori clenched his fists with both hands. It was time to enter the decisive battle. Then he waved his hand and ordered to the subordinate next to him: "Send someone to guard the entrance and exit of the banquet hall. No one is allowed to enter or exit from here."

.”

After Conan heard the police conversation, he looked at Mao Lilan and raised the corners of his mouth.

[It’s time to show your tail, Kaitou Kidd! Even if you have the means, you can only take advantage of the time when all the guests want to escape from here, and take the opportunity to escape together. 】

Just when Conan was full of confidence, Suzuki Sonoko turned around inadvertently and suddenly discovered something wrong: "Xiaolan, where did the pearl on your chest go?"

"Hey?" Mao Lilan looked down at her chest and saw that the black pearl brooch originally pinned to her dress now only had a base, and the black pearls inlaid on it were gone. "No way!"

Mao Lilan looked around and found a black pearl lying on the ground to her right, and quickly stepped forward to pick it up.

But there were too many people, and Mao Lilan, who was thin, couldn't squeeze through. She could only say to the guests around her with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, can someone help me pick up that black pearl?"

Naturally, someone will happily agree to the request of a young and beautiful lady.

Hearing this, a man saw the black pearl on the ground and immediately knelt down to help Mao Lilan pick it up.

But when he squatted down and reached out to pick it up, the black pearl suddenly emitted two streams of white smoke, and then suddenly exploded.

"Ah..." The guests around were startled.

"What?"

"What is that sound?"

The sudden explosion caused the guests who had been calmed down by Ochagi Jintaro to become commotion again.

"It's a pearl. The pearl exploded just now!" A man who witnessed all this said in horror.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more shocked, and many people lowered their heads to look at the pearls they wore on their chests.

Then everyone felt like many black pearls rolled over on the ground, and then they all started to smoke, and then exploded.

After such a thing happened, no one dared to wear black pearls on their chests. Many people subconsciously took off the black pearls they were wearing on their chests and threw them on the ground.

The scattered pearls exploded again.

Although there were no casualties, the explosions sounded extremely frightening, and many people tried to avoid the explosions on the ground.

One by one, everyone ran towards the entrance and exit, wanting to leave this closed banquet hall.

"Everyone, calm down, everyone, calm down." Chaki Jintaro shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one listened to him and they all ran towards the entrance and exit.

In fact, I don’t blame these people. When ordinary people hear the explosion, their first reaction is to hide and stay away from it.

People like Conan and Hattori Heiji who join in are weird.

There are still more ordinary people in this world, and groups of people quickly fled, with many people rushing towards the entrances and exits.

Not only the police officers holding the handles at the entrance and exit could not withstand such pressure, but when everyone was fleeing, the action was too violent, causing people with weak bodies to be knocked to the ground due to the force.

Unfortunately, Tomoko Suzuki was one of them and was knocked to the ground.

At this time, the quick-sighted Mao Lilan was the first to react and stepped forward to support Tomoko Suzuki. "Are you okay, Auntie?"

Feeling that she had been protected by Mao Lilan and was not in danger of being squeezed or trampled, Tomoko Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mao Lilan with some gratitude, "It's okay, thank you, Xiaolan!"

Suzuki Sonoko also took a step forward at this time and felt relieved when she saw that her mother was being protected by Mao Lilan and no one else continued to collide.

But then Suzuki Sonoko took a breath of air and said, "Mom, why are your black pearls missing?"

Although Suzuki Tomoko did not tell Suzuki Sonoko who was wearing the real dark night star, Suzuki Sonoko was very familiar with her mother's temperament.

The Dark Night Star is really important to the Suzuki Consortium. With my mother’s temperament, it is impossible to leave such an important thing to others for safekeeping. What if it is damaged by someone?

Therefore, when neither father nor sister came, the person wearing the dark night star should be either himself or his mother.

So after discovering that the black pearl Suzuki Tomoko was wearing on her chest was missing, Suzuki Sonoko immediately asked.

Was it stolen by Kaitou Kidd, or did Suzuki Tomoko realize something was wrong and kept it on her own?

"Eh!?" Suzuki Tomoko was shocked when she heard this. She quickly looked down at her chest and saw that where she originally wore the Dark Night Star Brooch, there was only a bare brooch base left. "Ah..."

Tomoko Suzuki screamed subconsciously. After attracting everyone's attention, Tomoko Suzuki said: "Kidd the Phantom Thief, Kidd the Phantom Thief stole my Dark Night Star!"

"What!?" Officer Nakamori on the side was shocked at first when he heard this, and then suddenly realized, "So the one Mrs. Suzuki is wearing is the real dark night star."

At this time, the police officer guarding the gate not far away shouted in great embarrassment: "Police department, we can't control it anymore!"

The next second, the accident happened.

The black pearls that rolled down on the floor of the banquet hall kept exploding. Although there were no casualties, the sound of explosions was really frightening and frightening.

Some of the guests present were timid, and naturally some were bold, but none of them were afraid of death. In addition, these people were members of the neon upper class, and the police simply could not withstand the pressure.

When Suzuki Tomoko's scream came, it broke the luck of the policeman guarding the entrance. Kaito Kid had succeeded, so why did he risk offending these powerful people by fulfilling his duties?

Therefore, the door of the banquet hall was rushed open in the next second, and dozens of people ran out.

However, the police officer still knew who was his immediate boss now, so after the crowd left, he quickly said to Officer Zhongmori: "Police department, it is estimated that thirty to forty people have broken out of the gate."

Upon hearing this, Officer Zhongmori immediately said: "Kid is most likely inside, catch him quickly." After saying that, he took the lead and ran in the direction where the crowd had just flowed.

"Yes!" The police officers around him quickly followed.

Before anyone else in the banquet hall could react, Conan suddenly took Mao Lilan's hand and said, "Sister Xiaolan, let's go catch Kidd too!"

After saying that, without giving Mao Lilan time to react or refuse, he directly took her hand and prepared to run outside.

"Wait a minute, Conan..." Before Mao Lilan finished speaking, Conan turned around, smiled proudly, and said meaningfully to Mao Lilan: "I already know who Kaitou Kidd is!"

At this time, Aoki Song, who was standing beside them, took advantage of Mao Lilan's dazed moment and stretched out his hand that had been holding handcuffs in his trouser pocket, and then quickly cuffed Mao Lilan's hand.
