Stay away from Conan

"The Queen Sallybeth?"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan murmured to himself, recalling that it was on this cruise ship that Kaitou Kidd actually attacked the Suzuki Consortium's "Dark Star" in the original work——

So, is it time for the original plot?

Regarding this, originally because I and Conan participated in the plot of the original work at the same time, according to experience, the difficulty of the case will increase inexplicably, and there will be many deviations.

However, this time it is an incident involving Kaitou Kidd. He and Kaitou Kidd have a cooperative relationship, so there is no need to worry about how the situation will develop in the end, because maybe he will secretly cooperate with Kaitou Kidd at the scene. Woolen cloth.

Therefore, the incident involving Kaitou Kidd should be regarded as the easiest original incident for me to participate in, right?

Thinking about it this way, I feel that I can't participate in Hara Jiaming's matter anyway, so I might as well be invited to participate. After all, it is a large-scale event held by the Suzuki Foundation, and it must be grand.

Besides, I have no reason to refuse...

…

In the evening of the next day, in Yokohama Port, in front of the large cruise ship Queen Sallybeth docked at the pier, when the guests boarded the cruise ship with invitations, the inspection was too simple. The Nakamori Ginsan Police Department on the side felt very angry and yelled at his boss Ochagi Jintaro:

"Please stop this party! Police Chagi! The other party is Kaitou Kidd! I don't care about the Suzuki Foundation's 60th anniversary sea party. If you inspect it casually like this, everyone can easily get close to the jewelry. ! This situation is really beneficial to that guy!”

In this regard, listening to Nakamori Ginzo's words, Ochagi Jintaro could only reply helplessly:

"There's nothing I can do, Nakamori... The people attending the party tonight are all celebrities from all over the world. We can't act rashly. What's more... if we stop the party because we're afraid of Kaitou Kidd, where will our police's reputation go? ah?"

After talking about it, Ochagi Jintaro's expression suddenly became serious.

In this way, faced with the words of his boss, Nakamori Ginzo wanted to refute it, but he gritted his teeth and did not say it after all——

"Don't worry. From the time the ship leaves Yokohama Port to the three hours it takes to arrive at Tokyo Port, this place is like a prison on the sea. Even if someone sneaks in, they will be like a turtle in a jar..."

Finally, Ochagi Jintaro added this sentence.

Hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo's expression softened slightly, but he still looked very worried. He turned to look at the luxury cruise ship behind him...

…

At the same time, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai were invited to the port together and were waiting in line to board the ship.

So, looking at this situation and the simple inspection when boarding the ship, Xiao Ai on the side couldn't help but said:

"Hey, compared to the last boarding inspection of the 'Ektelina II'...it's impossible to find anything in this inspection, right?"

Saying this, Xiao Ai recalled the previous scene when he was on a cruise ship with the famous child star Ava Porter——

"Even such a strict inspection can't detect the actions of someone with intentions, let alone this time we have to face such a phantom thief."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

In this regard, Gao Yuan couldn't help but said:

"After all, the guests invited by the Suzuki Consortium this time are all big names from all walks of life. It is difficult to conduct too strict inspections."

Hearing this, Xiao Ai didn't say much. He naturally understood the situation, and then turned to ask:

"By the way, speaking of last time...has Ava contacted you since then?"

"That's not true. But since she has Ms. Kiko's help and there is no news now, it means everything is going well."

Gao Yuan replied——

Recalling that time, the little girl who successfully survived the organization's virus experiment, Gao Yuan was indeed worried that someone from the organization might come to attack her in the future, but since Kudo Yukiko took her away, she did not treat her like this I have contacted him, which means that at least everything is normal there, and there is nothing too urgent that I have to contact my side.

And speaking of that incident, because I recently invaded the organization's system and obtained some information, I learned that the organization had recently developed a tracking device that was almost impossible for me to discover. In that incident, the "Blackbeard" who failed in the experiment It was also because of the existence of the tracking device that after the experiment failed, "Blackbeard" who wanted to escape failed in the end and was killed by the organization.

Moreover, thinking about the current incident, Yuan Jiaming is also suspected of having this kind of tracking device organized by the organization. Otherwise, Yuan Jiaming would have used that kind of operation to disrupt the organization's tracking during the opening party of the Twin Towers skyscraper that day. After that, the organization seems to have Still trusting in the authenticity of the signal.

But what kind of signal tracking device would it be that would do this?

I don’t have enough information to judge...

Later, after Yuan Jiaming was blocked by Amuro Toru and taken away, Yuan Jiaming was kidnapped by others...

Therefore, after ruling out the possibility that Toru Amuro is being followed, only Hara Jiaming has other tracking signals on his body that can be tracked——

Therefore, there is a high probability that the group of people who took him away later should be with Yuan Jiaming...

However, as Toru Amuro, who is so cautious in everything he does, would he have discovered the tracking signal on him?

Or is it that the other party used a similar tracking signal to the organization to track Yuan Jiaming?

However, through the eavesdropping device at that time, I clearly heard Toru Amuro personally saying that he deliberately let Hara Jiaming discover the hidden tracking device. So it was obvious that Toru Amuro knew the existence of this tracking device, and there was no reason why he couldn't check it. Arrive?

Therefore, there are still a lot of doubts behind the abduction of Yuan Jiaming by the unknown group of people...

Thinking like this, soon, the queue to board the ship quickly included himself and Xiao Ai.

After a brief boarding inspection, Gao Yuan and Xiao Ai boarded the luxury passenger ship "Queen Sally Beth" under the guidance of the staff, and then entered the passenger ship's venue...

…

"We, the Suzuki Foundation, have entered our 60th year this year. We are here today because of your support and love..."

In the venue of the passenger ship, on the arranged stage, in front of the words "Suzuki Foundation 60th Anniversary Sea Party" written, Suzuki Shiro, the chairman of the Suzuki Foundation and the father of Suzuki Sonoko, was standing in front of the stage. speech:

"Let us forget our worries today and enjoy this sea party with 500 guests!"

After roughly talking about a lot of the deeds of the Suzuki Consortium, Suzuki Shiro made this summary——

"before this……"

However, just as Suzuki Shiro finished speaking, his wife, Ms. Suzuki Tomoko, who was wearing a noble evening dress, stepped forward and added:

"I have designed an ingenious activity for tonight. You must have received such a small box when you boarded the ship, right? Now I challenge the stupid and rude thief!"

Just as he was talking, the guests present listened to Suzuki Tomoko's words and opened the box, only to see a seemingly well-decorated black pearl placed inside -

"This, this is..."

For a time, there were sounds of surprise in the venue.

"That's right! It's the symbol of my family, and it's also Kaitou Kid's prey tonight! 'Dark Star'!"

At this time, Tomoko Suzuki, who was full of momentum, raised the box in her hand and said to everyone. Her voice suddenly overwhelmed the surprised sounds of the guests in the banquet hall just now——

"There is only one genuine product, and only I know who it was given to. The others are all lifelike fakes... Of course, even fakes are highly collectible handicrafts. Everyone, please pin it on your chest! Then let the Phantom Thief Kidd, take a good look! If you can steal it, just do it! Of course, the prerequisite is that you can find the real thing within three hours of the ship's route!"

In this way, Xiaolan, who was wearing a red evening dress and watched Tomoko Suzuki act like this in the audience, also opened the box in her hand and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Yuanzi's mother is awesome! Making such exquisite handicrafts must be expensive, right?"

In response to this, Yuanzi on the side couldn't help but smile and said:

"Of course! This is the idea that Mio Tokiwa gave to my mother, right? That day she heard me say that Mio Tokiwa of the Tokiwa Foundation actually gave away so many coins at the game at the opening party of the Twin Towers skyscraper After getting the gems, she was not to be outdone and spent a lot of money to make these fakes of 'Dark Stars' as small gifts for everyone after boarding the ship..."

As he was speaking, Conan added on the other side:

"But compared to this, directly using this method to hand over the real 'Pitch Black Star' to a certain guest present is bold, right?"

“But it’s precisely because no one knows whether what they have is a fake, so it can confuse things even more, right?”

Yuanzi said proudly, then looked at Gao Yuan and asked:

"How's it going? Mr. Akechi, isn't my mother's approach very clever?"

"Really?"

In this regard, looking at the small box he got after boarding the ship, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"I don't think so..."

——After all, even if he didn’t know the plot of the original work, Takato didn’t agree with Tomoko Suzuki’s approach.

"Pitch Black Star", as the symbol of the Suzuki Foundation, is the largest black pearl in the world.

It is impossible for such an important gem to be handed over to outsiders. Even if it is given to others, there is a high probability that it will be in the hands of someone trusted by the Suzuki Consortium. So this, it seems to be a search of one of 500, but in fact the scope is only about Several people.

According to the original work, Tomoko Suzuki did not even give it to others. The real "black star" was in her own hands.

In this way, it is too easy to locate the real "dark stars".

"Aren't you afraid of being accidentally lost by the guests?"

To put it tactfully, Gao Yuan did not tell the truth. He just talked about some uncontrollable accidents that may occur if "Pitch Black Star" is handed over to outsiders. In fact, what Gao Yuan meant was to say in disguise that "Pitch Black Star" cannot be in the hands of outsiders. superior.

Yuanzi was stunned by this, feeling that Gao Yuan's statement seemed to be a joke, which was really a bit awkward.

But soon, Yuanzi’s attention was attracted by another thing——

"Hey, that's strange, have you seen my sister?"

Because everyone had met Suzuki Ayako during the bandage monster incident, so naturally they all knew the "her sister" that Sonoko referred to.

However, Xiaolan and others present shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen it.

So, having no other choice, Sonoko had no choice but to take out her mobile phone and start dialing Suzuki Ayako's number, while making some guesses:

"Really, is it possible that she is still at home and hasn't come over?"

With that said, after the call was dialed, Sonoko asked where Suzuki Ayako was now. On the other end of the phone, Suzuki Ayako looked extremely surprised——

"What? The ship has already sailed? But just now Police Chamu from the Metropolitan Police Department called and said that the ship will sail two hours late because of a security inspection? Is that right, Dad?"

Obviously, Suzuki Ayako was very surprised by what Sonoko said, and asked her father Suzuki Shiro. Then Sonoko also heard Suzuki Shiro's affirmative voice on the phone——

"Wait a minute! You and dad are still at home!"

Suddenly, Yuanzi realized something and shouted quickly.

Immediately, Conan on the side immediately looked towards the stage of the venue, and saw that Shiro Suzuki, who was giving a speech on it just now, had disappeared——

"hateful!"

He shouted angrily in his heart, and saw Conan running towards the stage, and began to ask the people next to him about the whereabouts of President Suzuki just now.

Seeing this, Xiaolan on the side was also surprised, but looking at Conan who took action immediately, she looked a little relieved.

In this regard, Xiao Ai, who originally noticed Conan's movements, suddenly noticed Xiao Lan's unusual attitude with some keenness, and frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something.

At the same time, because it was the Kaitou Kidd incident, Gao Yuan was not in a hurry at the moment, and subconsciously looked towards Xiao Lan——

Because in the original work, Kaitou Kidd first found an opportunity to replace Suzuki Shiro's identity and got on the ship, and then found an opportunity to replace Xiaolan's identity to complete the theft of the "Dark Star".

Therefore, Gao Yuan subconsciously wanted to see when Kaitou Kidd would take action.

However, at this glance, Gao Yuan also faintly noticed that Xiaolan's expression at this moment was a little subtle -

As for Conan running off to investigate while talking to himself, why does Xiaolan look like...

Very trusting?

Intuitively, Gao Yuan tasted this feeling.

Later, when Conan came back, he told everyone present that Kaito Kidd took off his Suzuki Shiro disguise in the toilet and left the clothes used for disguise. They learned that Suzuki Shiro was Kaitou Kidd. After pretending, Suzuki Tomoko, who had already joined Sonoko, also looked surprised:

"What? Phantom Thief 1412 has already infiltrated the ship?"

At the same time, those who came after hearing the inquiry were Chamu Jintaro and Nakamori Ginzo.

Faced with such emotions, Ochagi Jintaro was very surprised, but Nakamori Ginzo seemed to have expected it, and said:

"This is something that has been thought of for a long time. With his ability, it is too easy to sneak in here under such a simple inspection..." ()
