Chapter 121 Kaito Takes Action
Chapter 122 Kaito Takes Action
Soon, "Kid" who was knocked down from the beam by Suzuki Tomoko with a model gun stood up again. At the same time, Suzuki Tomoko also announced that this was just an entertainment program, in order to tell Kid the consequences of stealing pearls. The real Kid next to me was very upset. The magician also told everyone present about his opinion on Kaito Kid while changing his clothes. "Indeed, both he and I are artists who deceive people, but the difference with him is that I am a thorough magician and will never lose to that guy who is a thief as a full-time job." The magician known as Sanada Kazuzo took off his cloak, changed back into his suit and bow tie, and walked towards the stage. "Well, guests, please come to the side of the stage now to enjoy the wonderful magic show I have prepared for you."

"The flag has been raised... it can't be saved." I shrugged. He actually said something in front of Kaito, it was simply a provocation to Kaito. I looked up at "Xiaolan". At this time, she also had a face full of confidence and disdain. It seemed that Kaito was planning to show off in the magic show later. I walked to his side and gently kicked his feet. Feeling the movement at his feet, he looked down at me. He imitated Xiaolan's puzzled look.

[It's fun, but don't get carried away. I remind you again, the kid with glasses in front is not an ordinary person. I can't save you if he catches you.] In the chaotic situation, I moved my lips to Kidd and told him what I wanted to say with lip language. And "Xiaolan" also understood what I wanted to say, and playfully stuck out her tongue at me, which made me feel cold. Although Xiaolan's tongue-sticking look is very cute, when I think of this person is Kaito, I can't help but feel a little cold on the back of my neck. As expected of someone who has experienced Aoko's kawaii offensive, this action is not unfamiliar at all.

"Hmm!?" Suddenly, Conan turned his head and looked around. Seeing Conan's action, Kaito hurriedly put on Xiaolan's posture again, and I watched the actions of the two people and smiled helplessly. Kudo is obviously lazy. He also said that his awareness of identifying people is not as good as mine. He can obviously sense the opponent's breath. Although he can't accurately sense the position, just based on this point, he is qualified to stand beside Xiaolan to protect her. Although the protection has failed now. . But he is a talent that can be cultivated. In the future, there will be opportunities to use murderous aura to rush him, so that he can enter the state of consciousness earlier, and it won't take so much effort to catch people in the future. But Kaito is also responsible for this. After all, he and Kudo are born of the same mother. . Bah, the character is born. That mood of liking to show off can't be controlled. If the opponent is a killer of my level, then even if he has ten lives, it will not be enough to compensate.

"Hey, Xun." Conan walked towards me with a serious look on his face.

"Ok?"

"I just felt Kidd's presence, he is among this crowd." Conan looked around cautiously.

"Well, he is indeed in this crowd." I said to him solemnly.

"What? You found him? Who is it?" Conan looked at me excitedly. But my serious expression just now turned into a half-moon eye when Conan was excited.

"What I meant was that if Kidd wasn't among the group, he wouldn't have had the chance to steal the pearl again, so what you just said was equivalent to saying nothing."

"Hey hey..." Conan was helpless.

"Well... there are still about 30 minutes before the ship arrives at the port. You and Kidd don't have time. Go enjoy your game. I'll just watch from the side." I walked past Conan and headed for the stage. I haven't performed magic for a long time since I was restrained by Margaret four years ago. I'll go closer to see how Kaito will perform this magic. By the way, I'll see if my eyesight can still pass the test in the magic world. If I really change my job in the future, it would be nice to become a magician.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Well, first, let me show you the simplest card magic." Kazuzo Sanada stood on the stage, playing with a deck of cards in his hand.

"Please wait a moment." At the end of the crowd, a man with a ponytail suddenly raised his hand, and all the guests' attention was focused on him. Except for me. At this moment, I focused all my attention on the magician in front of me. When all the guests turned around, Sanada Kazuzo held the cards with both hands, and gently clicked the middle and ring fingers of his left hand, and a card slipped into his sleeve quietly and silently.

"A helper?" I raised my eyebrows. But it doesn't matter. I'm not interested in this simple card magic. I turned around and glanced at "Xiaolan". A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The next step is for everyone to cut the cards. But it doesn't matter who cuts them, because the key cards are already in the magician's sleeves. Soon, in order to show the magician's amazing skills, everyone took turns to cut the cards. However, because Sonoko's future brother-in-law shook his hands, all the cards fell to the ground. Xiaolan and Sonoko also went up to help pick up the cards. Then they handed them to Sanada Kazuzo.

"Thank you very much, ladies. As a thank you, please allow me to give you a card." As he said this, Kazuzo Sanada spread out the cards in his hand with one hand for Xiaolan and Sonoko to choose.

"Fell into a trap." I smiled evilly at the side. This magician named Sanada Ichizo has fallen into Kaito's trap. First of all, Sanada Ichizo's magic was discovered by Kaito at the very beginning, so Kaito took the opportunity to dig such a trap. The last person who handed the cards to the magician will interact with the magician, which is a necessary part of this card magic. So as long as Kaito gets this spot, he can embarrass this magician. Even if Sonoko's future brother-in-law didn't drop the cards on the ground just now, Xiaolan would take the cards and cut them one last time, and then return the cards to the magician, huh? You ask why you guarantee that Xiaolan will not be cut again? There are all prominent figures on this ship, and etiquette is the most basic thing. Xiaolan has handed the cards to the magician, so who here would snatch the deck of cards from a girl? Besides, Xiaolan is standing next to the second daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu. No one dared to do such a disrespectful behavior, and Kaito was very smart to calculate this point, so he successfully became the last person to touch the cards. "Please wait a moment." Just when Xiaolan was about to choose which card to take. Sanada Kazuzo spoke, "Before this beautiful lady chooses a card, please let me use my perspective eyes to see through your heart and predict the card you will choose." As he said, Sanada Kazuzo pretended to think, and at the same time, he released the pigeon he had prepared long ago. "Pigeon? Heart? Heart? Well... That's the Ace of Hearts." Sanada Kazuzo explained humorously, and everyone was amused by the magician's humor. At the same time, after the pigeon in his right hand attracted people's attention, Sanada Kazuzo shook his left hand, and the cards hidden in his sleeve were shaken into the pile of cards in his hand.

"Ran, right, the one on the right." Sonoko instructed excitedly. After seeing that Ran wanted the leftmost card in her hand, Sanada Kazuzo's thumb moved slightly and placed the Ace of Hearts that he had prepared long ago on the far left, which was the rightmost position facing Ran.

"Eh? What is this?!" Xiaolan took out a card from the deck, but it was not the Ace of Hearts, but Kidd's prediction: [I am like Xisha who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt, and I have quietly come to your side. - Kaito Kidd. ]

"Kid?! Kid appears!" As Xiaolan read out the notice, the scene immediately became chaotic. Upon hearing Kid's name, the police immediately organized people to appease the guests.

"Hey? This is what they call an appearance." I squinted my eyes and looked at "Ran" who was still in surprise. I have to say that Kaito's strategy not only embarrassed Sanada Kazuzo, but also announced that his game time would officially begin. But I was also a little strange. Kid was obviously a thief, not a murderer. What were these people panicking about? I ignored the panic of the people present. I walked straight to Conan and asked him softly. "How is it, do you have any clues?"

"Ah, I already know who holds the real Dark Star." Conan said confidently. "As long as Kaito Kid dares to take action, I can immediately catch him from these five hundred people!"

"Oh? Really? Then I wish you good luck, Kudo." After saying that, I walked towards the door.

"Eh? Don't you want to hear how I found the pearl?" Conan was puzzled. Explaining the answer to the puzzle to others has always been his greatest pleasure. This is what it means to be in the spotlight, but it seems that he has found the wrong person to talk to.

"No, I just ate a lot, I'm going to go out and digest it." I didn't look back at Conan, and walked while slowly saying, "It's boring to only listen to half of it. Wait until you catch Kid and then tell me the whole story." After that, I walked straight out of the banquet. Conan was left looking at my back with a depressed face. Actually, I can't blame Conan. I didn't have any interest in listening to him because I had guessed from the beginning that the pearl would be on Suzuki Tomoko. After all, I was trained by Uncle Touichi. As for the identification of gems, my skills will never lose to Kaito. The Dark Star was bought by Sonoko's great-grandfather sixty years ago. Even if it is well maintained, it is impossible to have a dazzling luster now. So all the dazzling fakes can be ruled out. In addition, the composition of pearls is calcium carbonate. If you grab them with your hands without taking protective measures, it is easy to cause the pearls to be acidified. Then its value will plummet. For this reason, people who know pearls will wear gloves or use handkerchiefs and other silk to separate the hands and pearls, so the range will be narrowed again. And the most crucial point. The Dark Star is regarded as the guardian of the Suzuki family. Even if Conan is killed, I don't believe that the Suzuki family will give the real pearl to someone else. Coupled with the hint given by Suzuki Tomoko at the beginning, I can easily judge that there are only two people who are qualified to wear the Dark Star in the entire venue. Suzuki Tomoko herself and Suzuki Sonoko. Combining the meaning of the pearl and Mrs. Suzuki's arrogance, it goes without saying that the pearl will definitely be worn by Mrs. Suzuki. So, instead of staying in the venue, it is better to go out and blow the sea breeze.

(Xun: Thank you author for letting me go. I won’t dare to do it again next time.)
(Author: It would have been great if I had done this earlier, otherwise I wouldn’t have to suffer and eat so much.)
Since I was a child, even though there was a panic, the police officer at the door still let me out of the venue. After all, a child in a panic is very dangerous, and it would be troublesome if a stampede occurred. Anyway, Kaito Kidd couldn't dress up as a child, so it was a good thing for the police to let me out of the venue now. I walked out of the venue and came to the deck outside, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze, and suddenly I felt a lot more cheerful.

"Huh... How long has it been since I felt so relaxed?" I felt the cool breeze, greedily breathed in the moist but slightly salty air on the sea, and stretched my body. I remember that Jingliu's favorite thing to see was the sea. So I took out my mobile phone, took a photo of the night view of the sea and sent it to Jingliu. It was less than 30 minutes away from the port, and the night view effect taken at this distance was quite good. While sending the photo to Jingliu, I also asked her to help me pick out some new clothes again. Soon, I received a reply from Jingliu, saying that the clothes were fine and I could go back and get them at any time. With a slight smile on my lips, I turned off the text message function of my mobile phone and froze the picture on a beautiful sleeping face. Brown wavy short hair, pink pajamas, a quiet cheek without a trace of pollution, only a few scattered hairs stuck to the face in a mess, with a trace of sadness between the eyebrows. It was heartbreaking to watch.

"Oh..." He let out a long sigh and inadvertently tried to smooth the hair that was stuck to her face, but found that his hands could only touch the screen of the phone awkwardly.

"Shiho... I'm sorry for making you suffer." Looking at the person in the picture, I felt a little reluctant. "Please be patient. We will meet soon."
