I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

Slowly walked behind Mao Lilan.

Before, the black magician asked her to pay more attention to Mouri Ran, because Mouri Ran might be disguised as Kaito Kid.

Therefore, now Nanatsuki Koshimizu simply focuses her attention on Ran Mouri.

Well, a black magician doesn’t necessarily need an assistant to perform magic, right?

"In fact, the true identity of this [Kaito Kid] is the magician Sanada Ichizo of the Miracle Magic Group."

"He is a professional magician I hired to deal with Kaito Kidd. What just happened was just a performance."

Suzuki Tomoko explained what had just happened with a smile.

This made Inspector Megure, who was standing far away with his hands already peeling off the butt of the gun and preparing to take out the pistol, breathe a sigh of relief.

He had previously guessed that it was Genmi Mitsuki, Mori Kogoro, and Edogawa Conan.

Once these three guys appear at the same time, it is equivalent to the arrival of the source of disaster, and murder is bound to occur.

I thought it was Suzuki Tomoko who was going to shoot Kaito Kid, but now it seems I was worrying too much.

The fat officer buttoned up the holster of his pistol and loosened his tie.

(Well, if you think about it, although Master Xiangyuan's wind magic is powerful, it could also be magic.)

(This is the age of science. How could there really be gods of death, plague, and disaster?)

(Perhaps it’s just like what Maori said, the case really is chasing the detective.)

"Really, Mom, don't always make jokes like this at times like this."

"I was so nervous. I thought you were really going to shoot Mr. Kidd."

Suzuki Sonoko's words made Conan's mouth twitch again.

I really don't understand why there is so much admiration for a magic thief like Kaito Kid.

Even Suzuki Sonoko called him "Kid-sama" all the time...same magician costume...

Xiang Yuan also wore it, why don't other people think Xiang Yuan is handsome? Is it because of his hedgehog hair?

"Haha, to be honest, Kaito Kidd and I are both artists of deception."

"But, as a professional magician, I am no worse than him."

Sanada Kazuzo smiled and clapped his hands, and the next moment, a stack of playing cards appeared in his hands.

"Now, let me show you a simple poker magic trick."

"Just think of it as a prelude for everyone before Kaito Kidd appears on stage."

Logically speaking, as a black magician, Xiang Yuanguang should cooperate with the performance at this time.

(The only person who could get close to Suzuki Tomoko was Ran Maoli, who had left the lobby and might have been replaced.)

(Others have no chance, so it is Ran Maori who should be replaced.)

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin subconsciously, and was just thinking about whether to call Mao Lilan and Uncle Mao Li out.

Just to verify Mao Lilan's identity, I saw a white shadow passing by at an inopportune time.

It was a pigeon, most likely the one released by Kazuzo Sanada during his magic show just now.

It had deviated from its normal performance track at this moment when Sanada Ichizo cut the cards.

It hit Sanada Kazuzo's hand with a whoosh, causing the playing cards to scatter all over the floor.

Then, the pigeon disappeared quickly into the lobby as if it had completed its mission.

(Is this... Kaito Kid's magic partner? Does he raise pigeons?)

(Should he? Maybe? Otherwise, there shouldn’t be any problems with Sanada Kazuzo’s magic show.)

Xiang Yuanguang's thoughts were interrupted by the pigeon just like Sanada Kazuzo's magic.

Looking at the poker cards scattered on the ground, Suzuki Sonoko, who was closest, immediately volunteered to help.

Next came Suzuki Tomoko who came to ease the embarrassment and anger, and then it was Mouri Ran who was beside Conan.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu was standing behind Uncle Maori, and because of her height, only half of her head was exposed, as if she was secretly observing Maori Ran.

This even triggered Conan's radar, who was standing behind Ran Mouri.

Subconsciously, he turned around and looked at Koshimizu Nanatsuki, somewhat confused.

(Why does Detective Koshimizu keep staring at Ran? Is there something wrong with that?)

(…I see. Kaito Kidd is good at disguise, and Ran just left the lobby to look for me.)

(So, are Koshimizu and Mugen now suspecting that Mao Lilan is disguised as Kaito Kid?)

Conan looked at Ran Mouri who was helping to clean up the poker cards and thought their idea was nonsense.

Really, no matter how advanced Kaito Kid's disguise skills are, he is undoubtedly a man.

There are differences in the skeletons of men and women, and no matter how perfect the disguise is, it is impossible to change the body shape.

(It is absolutely impossible for Kaito Kidd to disguise himself as Xiaolan if he wants to get close to the lobby.)

(He definitely disguised himself as someone who wouldn’t be easily suspected, but… huh? Could it be that…)

Could it be that Kaito Kidd was pretending to be Xiang Yuan? If so, the situation would make sense.

The Black Magician was silent except for the moment he first appeared and performed magic.

It's like he doesn't know what to say! If it's Kaito Kidd pretending to be him, he doesn't know the script.

Well, this makes sense, and then Yue Shui was deceived by Kaito Kidd to observe Xiaolan...

"Mr. Sanada, I've packed it up. Is this okay?"

After picking up all the playing cards, Mao Lilan handed them to Sanada Kazuzo.

The white magician nodded awkwardly and reached out to take the playing cards.

"Haha, that's enough, that's enough. Thank you for your help, ladies and Mrs. Suzuki."

"Just now, for some reason, my magic partner had a small problem, but it doesn't affect the magic."

After all, Kazuzo Sanada was just performing a simple magic trick of guessing the color red and the number of points.

This is different from the magic trick of guessing the suit and number of points on playing cards that Xiang Yuanguang and Jiujiu Yuankang had competed in before.

The difference is that in the previous competition, the participants had to guess, while the magic here requires the magician himself to guess.

As experienced magicians, they must have countless ways of changing cards without being discovered.

"I'm going to perform a little magic trick called [Mind Reading]. Can you two ladies help me?"

The White Magician said with a smile, spreading out his playing cards to show all the suits and points inside.

"All you need to do is pick one of the cards and put it in the deck."

"I can read the true points and suits from your hearts - how about that?"

"Want to give it a try?"

Mao Lilan, who was invited, was still a little hesitant, but Suzuki Sonoko had already agreed with joy.

"Okay, okay, Xiaolan, come too, just treat it as a little game."

"We still have three hours to get to Beika Town. It's really annoying to just wait like this!"

At this time, Xiang Yuanguang's eyes had fallen on the poker cards in Sanada Kazuzo's hand.

In the original plot, Kaito Kid disguised himself as Ran Mouri and changed the cards himself, changing the drawn poker cards into a preview letter.

He was watching right here, and as soon as the card was changed, he would immediately know who changed it.

Then it is clear whether the Maoli Ran here is disguised as Kaito Kid as in the original plot!

Chapter 269 Appears?

"Okay, then I won't be shy, Mr. Sanada."

Persuaded by her best friend, Mao Lilan nodded.

She stretched out her hand and tapped on the playing cards that Sanada Kazuzo had spread out in a fan shape.

Then he selected a King of Hearts, took it out, and was about to show it to Kazuzo Sanada.

But he was stopped by the White Magician, who smiled and said.

"Magicians remember cards, Miss Lan, so I will put this card back into the deck."

"Then shuffle the deck and guess the rank and suit of the card."

"Wouldn't it be much more interesting this way?"

Suzuki Sonoko immediately took the King of Hearts from Mao Li Ran and then stretched out her hand.

In the somewhat puzzled look of Sanada Kazuzo, the second lady of the Suzuki family spoke righteously.

"Let me shuffle the cards. Aren't Xiaolan and I participants?"

"She draws the cards and I shuffle them. Any problem?"

Regarding this, Kazuzo Sanada felt a little helpless, but still smiled.

"Of course there is no problem, since Ms. Suzuki has volunteered to shuffle the cards."

"Then, Ms. Suzuki, please shuffle the deck of playing cards."

"If other customers want, they can also wash and cut it."

Having said that, the White Magician subconsciously glanced at the Black Magician next to him, who had a strange expression on his face.

Poker Face almost couldn't hold it together. He had a feeling that this black magician seemed to want to mess things up.

It’s fine that he didn’t have the right lines in his previous magic show, but he’s not going to volunteer to shuffle the cards this time, is he?

"Ahem, forget about Mr. Black Magician. That's a bit too difficult for me."

Sanada Kazuzo added.

At this time, Xiang Yuanguang's gaze finally moved away from Mao Lilan's hand for a short time and fell on Sanada Kazuzo's face.

The main point is that it is unclear why.

Aren't we all here to perform magic together? Why do you look like you're going to ruin my show?

"I've shuffled it! Is that all right? Mr. Sanada, come and guess what card Xiaolan drew!"

At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko raised the playing cards in her hand and spoke loudly.

"Okay, then, please give me the playing cards."

The White Magician reached out and took the playing cards.

He didn't wash or cut it, he just held it.

"Okay, then let me show you my mind reading skills."

"Not only can I guess the points and suit of the poker card chosen by Miss Lan, I can also let Miss Lan draw it!"

"Then let me read Miss Lan's heart carefully now!"

Sanada Kazuzo gently tapped his forehead with his finger.

Then, he looked like he was deep in thought.

Suddenly, a hint of white appeared in his hand, as if he was frightened.

The white magician loosened his hand, and a dove appeared from his palm and then flew away.

"Oh, I thought it was my thoughts that were moving, but I didn't expect it was this little guy."

The magician's humorous words and expressions stirred the emotions of the nearby guests.

But in fact, Kazuzo Sanada was already feeling a little uneasy.

Because this is the secret code between him, his teacher Kyujuku Motoyasu, and his junior sister Miyoshi Mako.
