Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 36 The mob
"Mom!!" Suzuki Sonoko covered her face in horror and looked at her mother in disbelief.

Mrs. Suzuki didn't care and gently blew away the smoke coming out of the muzzle of the gun.

The lights in the ballroom came back on.

The Kaito Kidd, who was so arrogant just now, was now lying quietly on the stage, motionless.

The guests in the audience were all in shock. They looked at the body of Kaito Kid, then at Mrs. Suzuki who looked calm, and they couldn't make up their minds for a moment.

Inspector Nakamori had come to his senses and shouted angrily: "How dare you do this?!"

An He tasted the sweet grapes and looked at the farce over there: "Mrs. Suzuki is playing a big game."

"It's just a blank. There's no bullet hole in the wall." Miyano Shiho had already seen through the trick and didn't care much. "Maybe it's some kind of entertainment activity."

She still couldn't quite understand the mentality of these thick-skinned people, and the same was true of Kudo Yukiko whom she met last time.

As if to confirm her words, Kaito Kidd, who died miserably on the stage, suddenly crawled up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, Inspector." Mrs. Suzuki also laughed. "It was just blank bullets for demonstration. No real casualties occurred."

"This is Mr. Sanada Kazuzo, the talented magician I invited to entertain you."

Kazuzo Sanada, dressed as a phantom thief, took off his top hat and saluted.

"Mr. Sanada just performed the tragic end of Kaito Kid. Please give him a round of applause for his outstanding performance!"

The guests suddenly understood, laughed harmoniously and applauded warmly.

Inspector Nakamori's forehead was bulging with blue veins. These rich people who always mess around
Soon, the talented magician changed out of his thief costume, walked back onto the stage, and officially began his magic show today.

"First comes the simplest card"

"Is Mr. Miyano interested in magic?" An He asked curiously.

"I really have no interest in using knowledge of physics and chemistry to defraud people." Miyano Shiho always seemed to be calm, "But I can't say I hate it either."

"Is there anyone who would like to volunteer to try it?" On the stage, Kazuzo Sanada confidently invited the guests.

"Let me do it. I happen to be a suspicious person." The young man with a noble look on his face walked onto the stage.

"Okay, anyone else?"

Following that, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hair and a young man with a mushroom head responded to the call.

Kazuzo Sanada handed them three decks of playing cards and asked them to shuffle them.

During this time, the mushroom-headed young man clumsily dropped the cards.

"Ah, sorry."

"It's okay, it won't affect anything." Kazuzo Sanada smiled and comforted.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran, who were watching the magic show up close in the audience, helped pick up the cards and handed them to the mushroom-headed young man in front of his grateful eyes.

"Thank you for your help, ladies." The young and promising magician improvised a magic trick. "Please choose a card as a thank you gift."

"But before I reveal the cards, I will use my eyes that can only predict fate to see what cards you have chosen."

Offstage, Miyano Shiho suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, "Someone seems to be challenging your authority, Mr. Fortune Teller?"

"Authority or something?" An He was speechless for a moment, "I'm not a fortune teller now."

"Ah, is this the audience state again?"

"No, I'm not a spectator either." Xiao Ai, who had been lying quietly on Miyano Shiho's legs, suddenly stood up, jumped onto her shoulders, found a comfortable position, and wrapped herself around her neck like a scarf, making her feel a little itchy.

"That's really mysterious."

Without asking any further questions, Miyano Shiho simply fiddled with the cat's tail hanging from her shoulder and turned her gaze back to the stage.

Seeing that she had no curiosity, An He continued eating grapes.

While they were having a brief conversation, something seemed to go wrong in the magic show over there and the crowd became a little agitated.

"Yes, it's Mr. Kidd's card!"

Suzuki Sonoko held the card she had drawn excitedly, her tone rising unconsciously.

"This..." Sanada Kazuzo's face was ugly. His magic, which he was confident in, was tampered with without anyone noticing, and he was unaware of it. "When did he do this?"

"After all, it's the elusive Kaito Kid." Chaki Shintaro looked at the card with a serious expression.

"It seems that he has sneaked into this banquet hall." Maori Kogoro looked around vigilantly, "Could it be that he already knows the whereabouts of the real thing?"

Mrs. Suzuki was very calm and not panicked at all: "Even if he knew, he couldn't leave this cruise ship that is like a prison at sea."

"I've already sent people to guard the lifeboat room. Any suspicious person approaching there will be controlled immediately. Kaito Kidd won't be able to escape!"

Inspector Nakamori has already arranged police guards via intercom: "From now on, the banquet hall will also be blocked off, and no one can enter or leave at will!"

"Inspector, we will arrive at Tokyo Port in less than ten minutes!" reminded the plainclothes police officer on board.

"As long as we guard these ten minutes and don't let Kidd escape, he won't be able to escape the inspection when he gets off the ship!" Inspector Nakamori was full of energy, as if Kidd was already in his pocket.

At this moment, the banquet hall suddenly became chaotic.

"Oh no, the pearl exploded!"

"what?!"

"What a joke!"

"Who would wear such a dangerous thing on their body—"

Along with the noise of the crowd, crisp explosions occurred one after another, countless hard objects fell, thick and choking smoke spread out, and patches of sea of ​​clouds were swaying in the banquet hall.

"Cough cough."

"Run!"

The crowd suddenly became agitated. No one wanted to wear dangerous explosive objects. Without thinking, they threw away the "Dark Night Star" brooches given to them when they got on board and rushed outside with the crowd.

No one was able to calm down and observe whether it was the brooches that exploded.

Miyano Shiho sat in the corner of the banquet hall, comforting Ai to prevent her from getting stressed, while watching this ridiculous scene coldly.

The ignorant and pathetic people blindly follow the guidance of those with ulterior motives, like pigs being driven away from their safe place.

Isolated individuals have the ability to control their own reactions and behaviors, but groups do not.

The blind obedience of a group will overwhelm the rationality of an individual. Once an individual identifies himself with the group, his originally independent rationality will be overwhelmed by the ignorant madness of the group.

So she would rather be a flower in the snow, isolated from the world.

So at a glance he could see the two figures moving against the torrent.
