Chapter 37: Shadows of Pairs
An He did not miss this good opportunity. He had been mentally prepared for the riots and was ready to take advantage of the situation at any time.

With his eyesight, he could see Conan and Mao Lilan going against the crowd. They were pushing towards Mrs. Suzuki who was caught in the crowd and unable to escape, and helped Mrs. Suzuki up.

Soon, Mrs. Suzuki's scream was heard in the already noisy banquet hall.

"Kaito Kidd stole the 'Dark Night Star'!!" Her chest was empty.

"What?!" Inspector Nakamori and others finally understood the whereabouts of the authentic item and were shocked.

"Damn it! I'm afraid Kidd has taken advantage of this commotion to escape!"

Watching Conan pulling Mao Lilan out of the hall, Anhe chuckled and silently blended into the crowd.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Miyano Shiho gently pinched Ai's furry ears and whispered in a low voice.

"Your master is really mysterious."

"Uh-huh."

The ragdoll cat waved its paws lazily and hummed comfortably.

"Conan?"

Every step on the iron walkway made a harsh "clang" sound. Ran Mao Li looked around, her eyes revealing an unconcealable worry.

"Is this the machine room? Is Kaito Kid really here?"

However, Conan did not answer her. He took out a football from somewhere and started juggling it casually.

"Sister Xiaolan, do you know what that gem represents?"

Without waiting for Mao Lilan to respond, he continued talking to himself, and the football jumped nimbly under his feet.

"Sister Sonoko's mother left clues a long time ago, and the real 'Dark Night Star' was given to the person who was most suitable for it - Mrs. Suzuki herself, whose name contains the meaning of 'moon'."

"I see." Mao Lilan laughed, "But can we find out who Kaito Kidd is just by knowing this?"

"Of course there's more." Conan smiled innocently, "There are also playing cards. The Kid card that Xiaolan and Sonoko found was drawn from that pile of playing cards, right?"

"So is Kaito Kid the Mr. Sanada who performs magic?" Mao Li Ran was very surprised.

Conan remained noncommittal.

"In order to locate the real thing, create a commotion, and steal the 'Dark Night Star', only someone who meets the following conditions can do so."

"I was there when my uncle and Mrs. Suzuki were talking."

"I've touched cards during magic shows."

"Was near Mrs. Suzuki during the riot."

The football suddenly stopped and stood quietly at Conan's feet. He gently pushed his glasses down, with an ambiguous smile on his face, which inexplicably gave people a sense of fierce aggressiveness, like a shark locking onto its prey.

"Right?"

Clang.

"Sister Xiaolan, no."

The crisp sound of iron sheets rubbing against each other echoed in the machinery room.

"You should be called Kaito Kidd!"

Conan looked up suddenly and saw the surprised expression he wanted to see on the other person's face. His smile became more confident.

However, the response he got was from behind him. "Pa pa pa——"

First there was a calm applause, followed by a warm and easy-going voice.

"What a keen observation! I never thought that a magic show by a first-generation phantom thief would be seen through by a little kid."

Conan turned around in disbelief and saw the iconic white suit. The wind blew up the clean cloak behind him, like a white dove spreading its wings.

"Kaitou Kidd?!"

He looked at the "Sister Xiaolan" in front of him in surprise. His absolute confidence in his own reasoning told him that there must be something wrong with this Xiaolan.

"I understand." Conan suddenly understood everything.

Why couldn't the Metropolitan Police Department catch this elusive thief for twenty years, why is Kidd's image always changing in rumors, and why can he always fool the Second Investigation Division and then miraculously exit?

"I see, there are two Kaito Kidds!!"

"Hey, hey, let me tell you," Mao Lilan suddenly changed her tone, and her voice suddenly changed from a gentle and sweet female voice to a boy's voice, "You two, that's enough!"

"Especially you!" He tore off his disguise mask, and in almost the blink of an eye, he changed into the classic outfit of Kaito Kid. He took out a single-frame glasses from his pocket, put it on his right eye, and then looked at the other "Kaito Kid" who was standing calmly upstairs.

"I warned you that being too immature would bring disadvantages." The Kaito Kidd who came later was naturally An He.

"Because the other party was a child, he looked down on her and even dared to come to the machine room with only one exit alone with her."

He looked down at Conan's foot-strengthening shoes that were emitting arcs of electricity, and said with a hint of pity: "Good luck to you."

"What." Before Kuroba Kaito could react to the meaning of his words, a flash of lightning flashed before his eyes.

boom! ! !
His pupils shrank instinctively, and he turned his head stiffly to look at the broken and collapsed alloy wall beside him. A football was spinning slowly, gradually slowing down, and finally falling weakly to the ground.

Only the deep hole in the wall proved what horrific thing had just happened.

"Wow." An He screamed with glee.

"Wait a minute!" Kuroba Kaito was sweating profusely, "I surrender!"

He took out the gem that had caused everything from his pocket, slowly raised his hands, and threw it to Conan: "I give up this pearl."

"There's no moon now. Are you sure it's not the gem you're looking for?" An He took the initiative to speak up and add fuel to the fire.

As soon as he said this, the look in Kuroba Kaito's eyes when he looked at him was completely different. When he revealed that he knew about "Pandora", in Kuroba Kaito's eyes, he was no longer just an "imitator of Kaito Kid".

"Oh, I will figure these out myself." He suddenly laughed and returned to his poker face.

"Including your mysterious veil."

"Good luck to you." An He pinched the brim of his hat with his fingers and saluted slightly. "But you'd better get out of this situation first. I don't think this little detective is going to let you go."

Conan put away the "Dark Night Star" with a handkerchief, and kept his steps moving.

The conversation between the two Kidds just now made him a little confused, but he couldn't let Kidd go after all. He would capture him first and then question him in detail later.

"Stop talking nonsense and surrender, Kidd!"

"By the way, the girl who lent me her clothes seems to be still lying on the lifeboat." Kuroba Kaito pretended to be distressed and searched through the women's clothes he had taken off, and took out a set of underwear.

"I don't know if I'll catch a cold from this." He grinned wickedly and winked at Conan.

"What?!" As a detective, excellent associative ability is of course indispensable. Conan's little face turned red.
