Conan Rick's Investigator

Pang! Pang!

After firing three shots in a row, Kaito Kid fell down with a distorted expression.

Everyone was shocked, except Qin Zhibo, who rolled his eyes helplessly at Suzuki Tomoko who was blowing gun smoke from the muzzle of her gun arrogantly.

Big sis, even if this is just an act, could you please give me some ketchup, blood bags, or something?

Such a big consortium wants to save even this little money for props?

However, the policeman Nakamori Ginzo believed it and asked Suzuki Tomoko: "What did you do?"

Although I have been chasing Kaito Kidd for eighteen years, almost sacrificing all of my youth, but...

But Kaito Kidd’s crime does not deserve the death penalty!

Suzuki Tomoko looked calm and said with a cool smile, "You don't have to worry at all, officer."

"Because he's not dead yet!"

Next, Tomoko Suzuki explained her carefully planned performance, experienced the thrill of being a detective, and invited the "resurrected" thief to come to her side.

"This is the talented magician I specially invited for today's entertainment show, Mr. Sanada Kazuzo!"

While all the guests in the room were applauding the magician's "realistic" performance, Conan was the only one looking at Qin Zhibo next to him with a look of surprise.

This guy... actually knew this was a performance when it just started?

Even the magician's name is known!

Given Sonoko's mother's eccentric personality, and the fact that even the police and Sonoko didn't know about this performance in advance, it's unlikely that Sonoko's mother would tell Qin Zhibo.

Even though it has now been revealed that this was a performance, Conan could only hear that the voice of this Sanada Kazuzo was indeed different from that of the Kaito Kid he met last time.

But just based on this...

"Um...how did you know in that instant that this was a performance?"

Qin Zhibo heard a faint voice behind him, turned around and saw that it was Conan asking without hesitation.

So Qin Zhibo replied seriously: "Because I, your uncle, have super powers..."

Conan: Huh???

When Conan heard this explanation, his face was full of question marks.

But the next moment, Conan, who insisted on his own worldview, figured it out.

It is absolutely impossible for superpowers to exist, just like "Mist Tengu"!

The superpowers Qin Zhibo mentioned should refer to observation skills.

Just like when the great detective Sherlock Holmes met Dr. Watson for the first time, Holmes could tell at a glance that Watson had been in Afghanistan, leading Watson to mistakenly believe that Holmes had some kind of mysterious ability.

But in later contacts, Watson realized that it was meticulous observation.

Holmes is always observing!

So what Qin Zhibo wanted to talk about must be this kind of meticulous observation!

That must be the case!

Chapter 129 At this moment, Kidd couldn't resist!

At this time, Qin Zhibo didn't care whether Conan believed him or not, because a serious magic show performed by the talented magician Sanada Kazuzo was taking place on the stage.

The performance was the classic card guessing game. Before the official performance began, several guests were invited to the stage to shuffle the cards, including Mifune, the man with pigtails who was met at the Shijing family's birthday party last time, as well as Sonoko and Ran.

Everyone was concentrating on shuffling the same deck of cards, and then handed the shuffled cards to Kazuzo Sanada.

"To thank you two ladies, I can give you a card."

"But before you draw the cards, I can use my clairvoyance to guess the cards you two have chosen."

Next, Kazuzo Sanada tilted his head back and held his chin up as if thinking, and suddenly a pigeon popped out of his right hand with a constipated face.

"Pigeon...Heart..."

"I see. This refers to the Ace of Hearts, right?"

Sanada Kazuzo's face was full of smiles, and everyone couldn't help laughing at his performance, but Qin Zhibo had already seen through the clues.

When Kazuzo Sanada was explaining the magic trick, the cards in his hand were still spread out in a fan shape.

But when he conjured up the dove, the cards that had been fanned out before had folded into a pile in his hand.

This is a common diversion used by magicians to use the pigeon trick with the right hand to cover up the fact that the left hand is secretly changing the playing cards.

The principles of magic are simple, but they require a lot of skill and acting skills.

Next, Qin Zhibo guessed that no matter which card was drawn, it would be the Ace of Hearts.

Because the entire deck of cards had been replaced by Sanada Kazuzo with the Ace of Hearts.

However, when Xiaolan drew the card on the far right according to Sonoko's instructions, she got an answer different from Qin Zhibo's guess.

"Eh?"

"Like Caesar bewitched by the Egyptian queen, I have come to your side, Kaito Kid?"

Xiaolan said out the contents of the card word by word, which surprised everyone present, including magician Kazuzo Sanada and Tomohiro Qin.

But then, Qin Zhibo calmed down and a smile returned to his face.

……

"But how did that guy stick this thing on!?"

Kazuzo Sanada stared at the cards in his hand in disbelief, exclaiming that it was unbelievable.

I have been playing cards for so many years, and this is the first time I can give in to others?

Looking at this scene, Kidd, who was not far away, felt secretly happy.

Although a magician's job is to bring laughter to the audience, seeing the surprised expressions on the audience's faces is a great enjoyment.

But what is even more enjoyable is teasing one's peers.

Competitors are enemies, and there is nothing more fun than making your competitors look bad!

In fact, this step was not originally in Kidd's plan, but when he was changing Suzuki Shiro's disguise in the dressing room backstage, he happened to see Sanada Kazuzo's magic props.

Seeing the deck of playing cards containing only Aces of Hearts, Kid roughly guessed what magic trick Sanada Kazuzo wanted to perform tonight.

So with the intention of making fun of his peers and creating chaos, Kidd suddenly remembered the story of the Egyptian Queen and Caesar and made new cards.

Looking at the chaotic scene and the busy police around him, Kidd tried to keep a calm expression, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

Hehe ~

Look for it, look for it——

Even if you rack your brains, you won't be able to guess who I am...

Next, just...

Kidd's next plan is to use the fake black pearl he replaced to create greater chaos, and then steal the black pearl that has been confirmed to be in Suzuki Tomoko's body.

In fact, Kidd had long known about Suzuki Tomoko's plan to "hide in the forest", and asked Father Terai to ask his omnipotent inventor friend to make a batch of pearl-sized spray devices.

According to Mr. Terai, the spray device produced this time is an improved version 2.0 made by his friend who does not want to disclose his name, who borrowed high-tech spray devices from other channels.

Just a tiny particle can create a smoke screen similar to that of a smoke bomb.

It's time to try out this improved version.

Just as Kidd was about to take off his fake black pearls and throw them on the ground, a warm and strong hand pressed on his shoulder.

……

Qin Zhibo put his hand on Mao Lilan's shoulder from behind.

Since Mao Lilan was wearing an evening dress, her shoulders were exposed, so her hands could directly touch her fair and tender skin.

When Qin Zhibo saw this character card, he inevitably thought of someone he had investigated before who had been offline for a long time.

Kudo Shinichi.

Among the eight basic attributes, strength, size, appearance, and intelligence are exactly the same, and the skills are also very similar.

Even the reviews are exactly the same...

There is no doubt that this is also a protagonist-level character card, and many of the skills on it are relatively rare or have never been seen before.

At this moment, Mao Lilan in front also turned around and asked, "Mr. Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing... I guessed where Kaito Kidd is now, but I'll need your karate to deal with him."

Qin Zhibo openly grabbed Maori Ran's hand and left, while Conan, who was standing in front, was carefully staring at the guest list he had received from Maori Kogoro.

After reading all the guests' names, Conan closed the list with a confident look on his face, and thought to himself: I understand...

It turns out that the real dark star has always been on Sonoko's mother.

I looked up at Suzuki Tomoko and found that she was standing among the policemen, and the dull black pearl on her chest seemed to be fine for the time being.

All I have to do now is keep an eye on anyone approaching the pearl...

Just when Conan was about to turn around and call his "Sister Xiaolan" to go forward together, he discovered something.

Sister Xiaolan is missing?

……

On the deck where the sea breeze was blowing, Qin Zhibo suddenly stopped, holding Mao Lilan's hand.

"Mr. Qin, there's no one on this deck. How could Kaito Kidd be here?"

"I think we should hurry back to the banquet hall..."

Mao Lilan's voice was innocent, but the next second, the tone of this lifelike voice changed slightly.

"Hmph—cough cough, you hurt me a little..."

However, Qin Zhibo ignored him and said directly: "There are only two of us here now, so stop pretending..."

"With artists?"

Katcha!

A bolt of lightning struck Kidd's brain.

Kidd certainly knew what this "bringing an artist" meant, but the expression on his face quickly reacted and said innocently: "What are you talking about? Mr. Qin, what artist?"

Kidd is a professional at playing dumb.
