"Sanada Ichizo" nodded and walked towards the stage.
At that moment, Ai Haibara walked up to Taki Kitagawa and tugged at his clothes.
Kitagawa Taki understood and squatted down.
Ai Haibara covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in his ear, "He is Kaito Kid, am I right?"
Kitagawa Taki glanced at Haibara Ai with surprise.
Ai Haibara saw the look in Kitagawa Taki's eyes, understood the answer, and smiled slightly as she returned to Miyano Akemi's side with her hands behind her back.
Ai Haibara also has a playful and cute side!
Kitagawa Taki stood up and looked back at the stage.
"I'll start by performing the simplest card trick."
Sanada Ichizo took out a deck of cards and started playing.
Conan wasn't really in the mood for the magic show; his gaze swept across everyone's faces.
Damn it! Who exactly is the Phantom Thief Kid?
He now sees everyone as somewhat suspicious.
"Wait a minute, I've had my doubts about this magic trick before. Can I cut the deck first?"
A long-haired man walked to the front of the stage.
"can."
"Sanada Ichizo" handed the cards to the man, who then began to cut the cards by pulling them out.
Then, several more guests came up and cut the cards.
After reshuffling the cards, "Sanada Ichizo" said, "Now I'd like to invite a guest to join me in performing this magic trick!"
Just as "Sanada Ichizo" was about to invite Ran to the stage, he was interrupted by a voice.
"I'll do it! Mr. Sanada should be fine, right?"
When the guests saw that it was Kitagawa Taki again, they assumed that he had a feud with the magician.
"Of course, no problem."
"Sanada Ichizo" paused slightly, then said with a smile.
He laid the cards out and let Kitagawa Taki choose any card.
Kitagawa Taki scanned the area with his divine sense, detected the anomaly, and precisely drew a card from the middle.
When Sanada Ichizo saw Kitagawa Taki pull out the card with the card attached, his lips twitched. Was this just a coincidence?
Although this was different from his original plan, he still achieved his ultimate goal.
Kitagawa Taki flipped the card over, revealing a message from Kaito Kid on the card itself—
Just like Caesar, who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt, I have also come to your side.
"Phantom Thief Kid has appeared!?"
The crowd started talking again.
Conan rested his chin on his hand, ignoring the chaotic crowd, and quietly pondered.
No, this is just a trick by Phantom Thief Kid! Phantom Thief Kid is definitely among those who touched the cards.
The true Dark Star must reside with Tomoko Suzuki, Ayako Suzuki, or Sonoko, since family heirlooms are something no one would entrust to another.
Recalling the moment when the three of them wore pearls, only Tomoko Suzuki wore gloves, while Ayako Suzuki and Sonoko simply held them with their hands!
Conan's lips curled up slightly; he already knew who possessed the Dark Star.
Next, all you need to do is keep an eye on the movements of the people who touched the cards. Once someone approaches Suzuki Tomoko, that person must be Kaito Kid!
"You discovered it?"
A voice rang out from beside Conan.
Conan turned around and saw that it was Ai Haibara. Although he was curious as to why the cold and aloof Ai Haibara would take the initiative to talk to him, he still expressed his speculation.
Hearing Conan's speculation, Ai Haibara's expression remained unchanged; she simply nodded and walked to the side.
Conan was speechless; this little girl really did things her own way.
At that moment, a policeman ran up to report the situation to Nakamori Ginzo.
"Inspector, we are less than half an hour away from arriving at Tokyo Port."
"Alright, send men to guard the entrances and exits of the hall. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Phantom Thief Kid is definitely inside," Nakamori Ginzo ordered.
"There are so many pearls on the ground!" a scream erupted from the crowd.
The next second, the pearls on the ground exploded, emitting red smoke.
"Oh no!" Conan exclaimed inwardly, staring intently at Tomoko Suzuki.
Upon seeing this, some guests quickly threw away the pearls they were wearing.
A riot broke out among the crowd, and people rushed toward the exit in a panic, which the two or three policemen could not stop.
Oh, it was just a smoke bomb!
Kitagawa Taki understood perfectly well that Phantom Thief Kid undoubtedly wanted to take advantage of the chaos to steal the Dark Star.
But the Dark Star is in Ai Haibara's hands, is it so easy to get?
Chapter 65 is fair, isn't it?
Ai Haibara was pushed aside by the crowd.
"Little sister, are you alright?"
"Sanada Ichizo" appeared beside Ai Haibara at some point, and he bent down to help her up.
The next second, he froze, because a gun was pressed against him. Although the gun was covered by a handkerchief, he could clearly see the dark muzzle.
"I'm fine, but you'd better not move, Phantom Thief Kid."
Sanada Ichizo's pupils contracted. How did this little girl know he was Kaito Kid? And this gun was definitely not a fake; he didn't see a trace of panic or fear on her face.
What's up with this little girl? Not only does she have a gun, but she also acts like she'll shoot him the moment he moves.
"Sanada Ichizo" chuckled and said, "Little sister, what are you talking about? I'm just a magician."
At the same time, a small ball slipped out of his pocket.
The small ball was a flashbang he always carried, specifically for escaping.
Just as he was silently counting "3, 2, 1" in his mind, a hand reached out and caught the ball, while another hand locked him tightly.
Seeing Kitagawa Taki approaching, Ai Haibara wrapped the gun in her handkerchief and put it back in her handbag.
"Let's go, Phantom Thief Kid, let's have a chat about life."
Kitagawa Taki gripped Kid's neck tightly with his right hand and dragged him outside.
Kidd struggled to break free from Kitagawa Taki's grasp, but Kitagawa Taki's hands held him tightly like iron clamps.
Seeing that Kid was being disobedient, Kitagawa Taki whispered, "Don't move. I won't do anything to you. And don't try anything funny, because I know your true identity, Kuroba Kaito!"
Kaito Kid has too many gadgets, so to prevent him from escaping, Kitagawa Taki threw a "bomb" to shock him.
Sure enough, upon hearing the name "Kaito Kuroba," Kid immediately became obedient.
The two had just left when there were hardly any people left in the hall.
Nakamori Ginzo organized the police to conduct a search of the entire ship.
Tomoko Suzuki also stood with the remaining Sonoko, Ran, and the others.
Seeing that many people were throwing away the pearls they were wearing, Kogoro Mouri asked worriedly, "Mrs. Suzuki, is the real Dark Star alright?"
"It's alright, it's perfectly fine!" Tomoko Suzuki said after glancing at Ai Haibara.
"Whose body is it, Mrs. Suzuki?" Kogoro Mouri had no clue.
"You'll find out when we get to Tokyo Port," Tomoko Suzuki said with a smile.
Conan was puzzled. The dark star in front of Suzuki Tomoko was still there. Logically speaking, given such a perfect opportunity, Kaito Kid should have made his move! But he didn't see anyone approach Suzuki Tomoko at all.
Could it be that it's not with Tomoko Suzuki at all?
Conan glanced at the people around him. Since Suzuki Tomoko was certain that the Dark Star was still there, it meant that it was on one of them.
After scanning them one by one, Conan finally found his target—only the pearl worn by Ai Haibara was dull and lackluster, just like the one worn by Tomoko Suzuki.
Conan then leaned closer and whispered, "Haibara, is the pearl with you?"
"Oh, you finally found it?"
Ai Haibara's lips curled up.
……
engine room.
Kitagawa Taki blocked the doorway, while Kid was released and stood in the center of the room.
Kidd's face darkened. "Who exactly are you?"
He could accept being exposed, but why did the person in front of him know his true identity so clearly? Keep in mind that he had only been operating as Phantom Thief Kid for a short time.
"Kitagawa Taki is an exorcist."
"An exorcist??" Kidd looked at him with a "Are you kidding me?" expression.
Kitagawa Taki said, "Don't disbelieve me, otherwise how do you think I saw through your disguise and knew your identity?"
"I said your disguise was trash before, but that was intentional. Your disguise is actually quite good."
Hearing Kitagawa Taki say that, Kid felt a little better.
"Then why didn't you expose me as Phantom Thief Kid, but instead brought me here?" Kid asked.
Kitagawa Taki said with a smile, "You taught me how to change my voice, and I'll let you go. That's fair, isn't it?"
