Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 154 153, This is called worldliness

If Sano remembers correctly, this party seemed to have gathered a lot of famous people from Japan.

These include but are not limited to various entrepreneurs worth tens of billions, as well as many politicians and celebrities.

Suzuki Sonoko's father is qualified to speak on this occasion. It seems that the power of the Suzuki family may be more powerful than he thought?

Then when Sano entered the banquet hall and saw the words "Sixtieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Suzuki Foundation" on the banner hanging high, he was immediately confused.

Suzuki...Consortium?

60th anniversary??

Sano licked his lips, and with a dry throat, he asked Suzuki Sonoko on the side: "Is this banquet hosted by your family?"

Suzuki Sonoko turned around with a puzzled look on her face: "That's right."

"Then this boat...does it also belong to your family?"

Suzuki Sonoko nodded again matter-of-factly.

Sano: "..."

Sano didn't know the exact size of the ship currently under his feet, but he was certain that even if he spent all his savings, he might not be able to buy an ordinary yacht, let alone a follow-up one.

Maintenance costs.

But the Suzuki Sonoko family actually used such a large cruise ship to hold a party...

Sano stopped asking, just patted the shoulder of Conan who had just followed him, and asked in a low voice: "Boy, what's the level of the Suzuki Consortium in Neon?"

"You don't even know this?"

Conan gave Sano a strange look.

"The Sonoko family's Suzuki Consortium is probably one of Neon's largest consortiums... after all, there are still two or three equally matched opponents."

One of the largest...

About the same level as Ma Daba?

Sano fell into silence, and for a moment the only thing that echoed in his mind was that sentence.

The wealthy man is by my side.

To be honest, Sano knew that Suzuki Sonoko's family was very rich before, but he really didn't know that he was so rich.

After all, in Sano's view, he is already a small rich man with nearly 100 million yuan, and if he works a little harder, he will have almost ten digits in savings.

And Suzuki Sonoko is at best a rich second generation with a little money. There may be a gap between the two, but that should be because he is of a higher rank than Suzuki Sonoko.

Why, when I look at it now, do I feel like I have suddenly become poor with the little money I have?

We agreed to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but the co-author is Sonoko Suzuki, a young tigress pretending to be a pig?

Sano felt a little bit of a blow to his self-esteem.

"Suzuki-san, no, rich man, rich woman, are you still missing a pendant on your thigh? I'm hungry, and the doctor said my gastrointestinal condition is not good, so I should eat soft food."

After coming back to his senses, Sano almost instinctively asked Suzuki Sonoko for a soft meal, which made the other party stare at him blankly, not understanding what the words meant at all, and could only touch her face in confusion.

Touch the back of the head.

Conan, on the other hand, understood the meaning behind Sano's words and looked at Sano with dead fish eyes.

I didn’t expect you to be such a worldly person...

You're a tall kid who hasn't been beaten up by society. No, you're a primary school student. How can you possibly understand the value and charm of money?

Sano understood Conan's eyes and immediately looked back at him. Of course, Conan couldn't understand, so he could only ask questions.

On the podium, Suzuki Sonoko and the police officer's father, Suzuki Shiro, who had an inexplicable resemblance to each other, had finished their speeches, which were nothing more than some polite words. The only thing that needed attention was that the other party mentioned that there were more than 500 people on the ship.

After all, Sano now knows that Suzuki Sonoko is not an ordinary rich second generation, but an enhanced super plus version of the ultimate rich second generation, so the commission fee of 3 million to 30 million mentioned before is naturally not a big problem.

Regarding that thief, Sano is determined to win!

But how on earth can we find a target among more than 500 people...

Um?

Sano suddenly noticed a blind spot, looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked: "The guests attending this party are all named. In that case, how can an uninvited person pass the inspection?"

Especially when we boarded the ship just now, it was still daytime, and there were many police forces guarding the ship. If the thief could avoid such a defensive net and board the ship quietly, Sano would not believe it anyway.

"ah?"

Suzuki Sonoko turned around and said, "Senior, don't you know? Kaitou Kidd is a great magician. What he is best at is transforming into the appearance of others. Even his voice can be imitated perfectly."

This is...disguise?

Sano was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately thought of the God of Plague's mother, and the next second he shook his head.

No, no, how can a big star, even a retired big star, be a thief, not to mention the age is not quite right.

Unless Yukiko Kudo has been a thief since middle and high school.

But in this case, it would be a bit difficult to find an impostor among more than 500 people... The thief's disguise technique should also rely on a human skin mask.

How about covering everyone's faces?

Sano glanced at the partygoers around him who thought "either rich or noble" just by looking at their clothes, and couldn't help but slowly typed out a few points.

The police should not be unclear about what Sano could easily think of in the first place. As for why they didn't implement it...

Hehe, this is called human nature.

"Um?"

Sano suddenly noticed the blind spot again and looked at Suzuki Sonoko doubtfully: "Who is Kaitou Kid? Didn't he say something before? Did he change to a thief?"

"Kaitou Kidd is Kaitou No. 1412. The original one is the number, and the last one is the name."

Conan raised his little head and gave Sano some science knowledge. He just said that he wanted to share information with you, but you didn't want it. Now he's starting to be stretched.

Unfortunately, to Conan's disappointment, after Sano nodded, he didn't continue to ask, and his desire to share suddenly began to grow.

Can't this guy be a little more curious?

"Okay, before the banquet starts, I want to tell everyone about a game I came up with."

On the podium, just when Shiro Suzuki said the last sentence, "I wish you all have a good time," a fashionably dressed short-haired woman came out from behind, holding a delicate small box in her hand.

"Before boarding the ship, every guest present should have received this small box that I handed out. Now you can open it and take a look."

Sano also remembered the box given by the security personnel before boarding the ship, and immediately took it out and took a look. The box contained a black pearl embedded in a decoration.

"This is...Dark Star!?"

Except for Sano, everyone present got exactly the same thing after opening the box...Dark Star. The short-haired woman, Suzuki Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko, continued to speak.

"This is the challenge I launched against that stupid thief. Now everyone has a family heirloom of our Suzuki family. Of course, most of them are just fake imitations. As for the real thing, I am the only one."

One knows whose hands it is."

"Okay, now everyone please keep this pearl on your chest. If the thief is really capable of stealing the dark star, then let him look for it first to see which dark star is the real one.

alright."

Tomoko Suzuki had a confident smile on her face.

Sano, on the other hand, was a little speechless. This kind of behavior felt meaningless. They said it was a family heirloom. Is Tomoko Suzuki really willing to let others wear it?

There is a high probability that Tomoko Suzuki is the one who is most suspicious of her own family members.

Of course, Tomoko Suzuki might also go against the grain and let outsiders wear the thing. If that were the case, Sano could only say one thing - rich and crazy.

Then, the banquet officially started, and the guests in the banquet hall naturally began to engage in activities to expand their connections and get closer to each other.

Of course, Sano didn't need to participate in this kind of activity. He was just gathering with Maorilan's family of three and Suzuki Sonoko, but Suzuki Tomoko took the initiative to come over and say hello to Sano.

"Are you the famous high school detective?"

Tomoko Suzuki raised her glass: "I've heard your name many times from Sonoko. I've always been curious. I thought I had a chance to meet last time, but you didn't come. This time I finally met you in person.

.”

"Sorry, there was something urgent that needed to be dealt with last time."

Sano politely greeted, while Mouri Kogoro on the side quickly asked Suzuki Tomoko: "Well, madam, I understand your plan to hide the dark stars in the crowd, but at the very least, you should

Tell me where the real Dark Star is, otherwise how can I protect it?"

"Oh, Detective Mori, you, like Detective Sano and Officer Nakamori, are one of the knights who are trustworthy and can protect our family heirlooms. But even so, I cannot tell you such secrets easily."

Tomoko Suzuki chuckled: "I have given it to the most suitable woman in the room. If you observe carefully, you can see the difference."

"That's it..."

Mouri Kogoro frowned in thought, while Sano on the side couldn't help but curled up his lips. Didn't you understand the meaning of Suzuki Tomoko's words? It seems that this confused detective is not very good in terms of emotional intelligence in addition to his IQ.

But besides this, Sano was also thinking about what Tomoko Suzuki just said.

Dark Star was given to the most suitable woman.

It always feels like she is boasting and selling herself off. If Suzuki Tomoko is really thick-skinned enough, the one on her body should be the real dark star.

"Hello? Sister, where are you? Why haven't I seen you?"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly made a call on the other end of the phone. She frowned for a while and then said in shock: "What, you and your dad didn't get on the ship. The police officer told you that the sailing time was delayed by three hours?"

Hearing this, Sano and Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko at the same time. Suzuki Shirou didn't get on the boat. So wasn't it Kaitou Kid who spoke just now?

Without saying a word, Conan chased in the direction where Suzuki Shiro left after speaking, while Sano did not move and continued to stay next to Suzuki Tomoko.

Seeing Suzuki Sonoko still looking confused after hanging up the phone, the corner of Sano's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he didn't even realize that his father had been replaced.

Then she seemed to have discovered that Conan had suddenly disappeared. Mao Lilan went out to look for it and left with him.

After a while, Conan ran back and revealed that he found the human skin mask and other props used by Kaitou Kid to disguise himself as Shiro Suzuki in the bathroom on the ship.

"I have informed the police officers and a search should be launched soon."

Sure enough, soon a policeman who called himself Chamu came on stage and explained that Kaitou Kidd had sneaked into the banquet hall.

"Originally, we were supposed to conduct a careful search of everyone present, but in order not to spoil everyone's interest, we decided to adopt a plan."
