Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 100 An Unwilling-to-Admit Assumption

After a brief chat, Makino and the Suzuki couple boarded the boat.

After Makino completely disappeared from sight, Inspector Chaki turned his head to look at Inspector Nakamori and whispered, "Counselor Makino is different from the other professional police officers. Although he is young, he is very capable! Even if he is easy-going, you can't forget that he is our superior!"

Inspector Nakamori nodded immediately and said, "I understand."

He did not doubt what Inspector Chaki said at all.

After that night, he already had some understanding of Counselor Makino's strength.

If he had not thought that Kaito Kid was about to be arrested and had not become a little carried away by his success, Counselor Makino might have already arrested Kaito Kid.

Looking back, that was both the closest he had ever been to Kaito Kid and his biggest mistake so far.

At the same time, in the distance at the pier.

After seeing Makino's figure disappear, Kaito Kidd put down the telescope in his hand and frowned.

If he had not sent out the advance notice, he would have really wanted to give up his goal and go home directly.

For the sake of his pride and to live up to the name "Kaito Kidd", he had no choice but to grit his teeth and move forward.

Currently, there are two problems facing him. One is who he should disguise himself as to get on board the ship, and the other is how to get clues about the dark star after getting on board.

The former is simple. He just needs to pick a lucky person who is alone.

But the latter is indeed more troublesome.

The only ones who knew the information about Dark Star were probably the Suzuki family and Officer Makino.

Given their relationship, Officer Makino might be near the Suzuki family the entire time.

Even if he found an opportunity to disguise himself as one of the Suzuki family members, he would probably be quickly discovered by Officer Makino.

But if he disguised himself as someone else, it would be difficult to get close to the Suzuki family and extract information.

Thinking of this, Kaito Kid sighed helplessly.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. I'd better get into that ship first and then think of a solution.

……

Inside the cruise ship.

After briefly checking the operation of the cruise ship and the layout of the banquet hall, Suzuki Tomoko called Makino and others into the room.

"For today's event, I have prepared a replica of the Dark Star for each of the main guests. Once they get on board, I will have someone hand the Dark Star to them."

"Good idea! You're worthy of being a mother! Not to mention stealing, it would be extremely difficult for Kaito Kid to find the real thing." Sonoko nodded excitedly.

"Mom, what about the real dark star?" Ayako asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko turned her head to look at Makino and chuckled, "I was originally planning to mix the real dark star with the fake ones and give it to one of them. Only I know who has the real dark star.

But now... Makino, you will keep this real dark star. It is safer in your hands than for us or others to hold it."

Having said that, Suzuki Tomoko took out a small box from her jacket pocket, which contained the real dark star.

Suzuki Shiro also laughed and said, "I thought so too. It's safer to let Makino hold it~"

Ayako and Sonoko beside them also nodded, obviously both of them thought this was an excellent proposal.

Seeing Makino taking the pearl box, Suzuki Shiro added: "Compared to this pearl, the safety of you and Ayako is more important. Don't forget this."

"I understand." Makino nodded and put the box directly into his pocket.

But in his heart, he still complained silently. What is the difference between Suzuki Tomoko's approach and Suzuki Jirokichi's?
Even if they were just high-quality imitations of the Dark Star, the cost of producing hundreds of them at once might be equal to or even slightly exceed the value of this Dark Star.

To put it bluntly, what Suzuki Tomoko and the others care about is not the treasure itself, but "dignity".

After seeing Makino take out gloves from his pocket, Suzuki Tomoko also handed two pairs of gloves to Ayako and Sonoko: "Since we are going to perform, we must do it in full. We can't let Kaito Kidd see the flaws."

"Okay~" Ayako and Sonoko smiled at each other.

……

Half an hour later, the guests gradually arrived.

Under the leadership of the Suzukis, Makino greeted important figures from all walks of life one by one.

For the Suzukis, this party was also a great opportunity to bring Makino completely into the "public" eye.

This is also the signal they send to the outside world - their Suzuki Group stands behind Makino.

After chatting with Makino and the guests for a while, Sonoko also saw Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan and others, and immediately turned around and smiled: "Xiaolan and the others seem to be here, I'll go over there first~"

The Suzuki couple, who already knew their daughter's personality, didn't care at all and simply nodded in agreement to Sonoko's "sudden departure."

Looking at Sonoko's cheerful back, Makino and Ayako smiled at each other.

To be honest, they could understand Sonoko's feelings very well, and neither of them actually liked this kind of "occasion".

Everyone had a smile on their face that was hard to tell whether it was genuine or not, and spoke social terms that were so skillful that they couldn't be more skillful.

Although he didn't reject it, Makino really didn't like this kind of scene.

A corner of the venue.

When he saw Suzuki Sonoko leaving Officer Makino, a glimmer of joy flashed in Kaito Kid's eyes.

He immediately locked his eyes on Yuanzi's movements, ready to act when the opportunity arose.

A few seconds later, Sonoko walked up to a girl and greeted her with a smile.

After seeing clearly who Sonoko was communicating with, a hint of thought appeared in Kaito Kid's eyes.

That girl should be Suzuki Sonoko's classmate, right? She looks a bit like Aoko...

The uncle with a mustache next to him must be the famous detective Mouri Kogoro.

As for the familiar-looking little boy with glasses...isn't he the kid who set off fireworks on the rooftop of the Beihu Hotel? !
Thinking of this, Kaito Kid quietly walked towards Suzuki Sonoko.

At this moment, he already had a plan in mind.

Both Maori Kogoro and that girl are perfect disguise subjects...

As long as he disguises himself as one of them, he will be able to easily get information about the Dark Star from Suzuki Sonoko!

Soon after, the scheduled opening time of the banquet arrived.

Shiro Suzuki walked onto the stage and loudly greeted the guests present: "Unconsciously, our Suzuki Group has entered its 60th anniversary! Here, I sincerely thank you all for your support and encouragement to our group! I hope you can enjoy this grand banquet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was loud applause from the audience.

At this moment, Suzuki Tomoko took the microphone from Suzuki Shiro and chuckled, "There is one more thing. I think you all have heard the news that Kaito Kidd is coming to steal the pearls. I have specially prepared a 'little challenge' for him. Now please open the small box that the staff just gave you."

Hearing this, the guests present opened the small gift boxes that the staff had just given them.
