Chapter 237: Sera Masumi’s Reasoning (12)

"Mr. Tsukino is always wearing a mask?! "

After hearing what Toru Amuro said, Conan quickly turned around and looked at Masumi Sera.

"It seems that Mr. Tsukino, whom we just met, was not wearing a mask."

"Yes."

Masumi Sera nodded and looked up at Kenichi Matsumoto and others.

"By the way, was Mr. Tsukino that you saw yesterday really Mr. Tsukino himself?"

"!!!"

Sera Masumi's words were totally unexpected, and most of the guests present showed very surprised expressions.

"Could this be false?"

"Are you saying that Mr. Tsukino yesterday was disguised as Kaito Kid?"

Nakamura Haruna said with some disbelief.

"No, it can't be Kaito Kidd."

"I've already said that the time for seizing the gems announced in Kaito Kidd's notice is today."

"It is possible for him to sneak into Tokyo Big Sight in advance, but he will never act in advance."

Nakamori Ginzo denied it again.

"Then couldn't it be that Kaito Kidd disguised himself as Mr. Tsukino and waited until after midnight before taking action?"

Akikawa Sosuke suddenly opened his mouth and raised questions at this time.

"As long as it's past midnight, it's considered today, right? So if Kaito Kidd sneaks in by pretending to be Mr. Tsukino, wouldn't it be enough if he just waits until today?"

Akikawa Sosuke's statement was also agreed by Matsumoto Kenichi.

After Akikawa Sosuke finished speaking, the old professor nodded and muttered quietly, "It's possible."

Then, they heard the helpless voice of Ginzo Nakamori.

"If Kaito Kidd disguised himself as Mr. Tsukino and sneaked into the venue yesterday, then where did the real Mr. Tsukino go?"

"If Kaito Kidd wanted to ensure that he would not be exposed, he must have attacked Mr. Tsukino before the gathering yesterday."

"If this is the case, it would actually be a violation of what was written in his notice letter."

Nakamori Ginzo's words made Akikawa Sousuke shut up all of a sudden.

Matsumoto Kenichi, who originally agreed with Akikawa Sosuke, once again showed a questioning expression after hearing what Nakamori Ginzo said.

"Is Kaito Kidd really so principled?"

"Yes."

Nakamori Ginzo nodded in agreement.

Although he was quite disgusted with this Phantom Thief who had been playing tricks on their Investigation Section 2, he could not deny that Phantom Thief Kidd was quite principled in doing things.

"Also, Kaito Kid is proficient in disguise and voice changing. If he disguised himself as Mr. Tsukino, then there is no need for him to wear a mask to arouse suspicion."

"Is it possible that Kaito Kidd guessed that you would think this way, so he wore a mask after disguising himself?"

Just as Nakamori Ginzo finished speaking, he heard someone ask again.

He once again looked towards the young artist who looked strangely familiar.

"It's the nesting doll, isn't it?"

"I just explained it so clearly, why can't this artist understand?"

Ginzo Nakamori couldn't help but complain in his heart. Conan, who was standing aside, saw Ginzo Nakamori's face full of impatience because of Akikawa Sosuke, and felt a little funny in his heart, but also felt a little sorry for Ginzo Nakamori.

Finally, someone understood how it felt when he and Sosuke Akikawa worked together to solve the case.

That's so tiring!

Just when Nakamori Ginzou, who was full of impatience, couldn't help but curse "Idiot!", Sera Masumi beside him spoke first:

"Officer Nakamori has just made it very clear that if Kaito Kid wants to impersonate Mr. Tsukino, he must act in advance."

"So I guess someone else might have dressed up as Mr. Tsukino and attended yesterday's rehearsal."

"Because that person didn't master the level of disguise like Kaito Kid, and didn't know how to change his voice, so he wore a mask and pretended to have a cold."

"This way, his strange behavior won't be suspected."

"But even if he was wearing a mask, there couldn't be anyone who didn't notice that Mr. Tsukino had turned into a different person, right?"

Nakamura Haruna spoke in confusion.

"It would be fine if it was someone no one had ever met, but everyone has met Mr. Tsukino!"

"Mr. Tsukino has also done many live broadcasts during this period, and everyone is basically familiar with Mr. Tsukino's appearance."

"Not to mention that this exhibition is hosted by Mr. Tsukino."

"But when we were rehearsing yesterday, I didn't feel that there was anything strange about Mr. Tsukino's appearance."

"Besides, Mr. Tsukino's knowledge of the accessories on display yesterday is not something an outsider can fake."

In response to Nakamura Haruna's question, Sera Masumi quickly gave an explanation:

"Indeed, if a complete stranger were to pretend to be Mr. Tsukino, he would be exposed very quickly."

"But what if the person playing Mr. Tsukino is someone who looks very similar to Mr. Tsukino and is also familiar with this collection?"

Sera Masumi's remarks once again shocked everyone present.

They all understood the hidden meaning in Sera Masumi's words.

The Tsukino Group, like the Suzuki Group, is a large group that developed from family businesses.

The founder's family members basically hold important positions on the board of directors and in management.

One of the important reasons why Takashi Tsukino is well known to everyone is that he has been chosen as the next heir to the Tsukino Group.

But he also has brothers and sisters.

If Takashi Tsukino's brother pretended to be Takashi Tsukino and came to the rehearsal,
He was not recognized by others, and like Tsukino Takashi, he was also familiar with the collections of his own foundation.
It becomes very reasonable.

Even after Nakamori Ginzo figured out the hidden meaning in Sera Masumi's words, he was still shocked by Sera Masumi's extremely bold guess and was unable to recover for a long time.

"Of course, I just stated one of my assumptions."

"All of this reasoning is based on the fact that the Mr. Tsukino who came to rehearse yesterday and the Mr. Tsukino who was discovered today are not the same person."

"Fortunately, Mr. Tsukino's life is not in danger. Whether my reasoning is correct should be verified soon."

Shortly after Sera Masumi finished speaking, the intercom on Nakamori Ginzo began to ring.

"Yeah, it's me. How's the surveillance video review going?"

"Okay, I know."

After Nakamori Ginzo said this, he looked at Sera Masumi.

"It has been confirmed that Mr. Tsukino was dragged into the collection room by a man dressed in black at around 0: this morning."

"And the Scarlet Heart Gem also disappeared after that."
