Chapter 126: Three birds with one stone [4k two-in-one]
"Oh, um, I'm sorry, can you help me pick it up? My pearl accidentally fell off."
"Hey, mine is too."
"Strange, did you hit something? Why did it fall so easily?"
Almost as soon as the pearl rolled to the ground, the guests who noticed this abnormal situation were all confused.
I asked the people around me to help me pick it up and at the same time, I didn't forget to take off the base that was worn on my chest to see if there was something wrong with this thing.
Conan, who was shocked by Kidd's appearance, had not had time to recover before several black pearls rolled down to his feet and suddenly cracked——
Choking smoke spurted out from it, and Conan's child's eyes, which were subconsciously covering his nose, shrank violently!
not good!
"It's a smoke bomb! A smoke bomb from Kidd! Guests, please don't panic! Don't give Kidd an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Nakamori Ginzo, who had arrested Kidd for more than 20 years, immediately took out the loudspeaker he had prepared, turned on the switch and warned sternly: "Please don't panic! Please don't panic! Our police are still here -
—”
boom!
In full view of everyone, Kaitou Kidd, who had just appeared on the wall of the venue, collapsed in response to the sound.
The sound the flesh and blood body made when it hit the log dining table was particularly dull, interrupting Ginzo Nakamori's warning to the guests present.
Suzuki Sonoko looked at the mother who fired the gun in disbelief, then turned to look at Kidd who was lying on the table, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and swallowed hard: "Mom, mom..."
"To deal with such a persistent thief, ending his life in this way is the best choice. Isn't it, Officer Zhongmori?"
Because this smoke bomb did not appear in the plan, the confused Suzuki Tomoko said this with a somewhat solemn tone.
After hearing this, Nakamori Ginzo looked at his motionless "old enemy" and then at the small pistol in Mrs. Suzuki's hand. His expression was a little complicated for a moment: "Mrs. Suzuki, you -"
"boom!"
While he was talking, a gunshot sounded again, and Suzuki Tomoko's expression suddenly changed!
what happened?!
Why are there still gunshots?!
"ah!
!
"
Among the crowd, the sudden screams made everyone turn their attention——
A lady wearing an elegant pale green dress was slumping on the ground with one hand covering her chest. Bits of pearl fragments fell at her feet along with the fragments of the base!
"This pearl! This pearl is not just a smoke bomb! It can also explode!"
The mournful wailing made all the guests wearing "Dark Night Stars" change their expressions!
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment, but I am quite sensitive to others pretending to be me."
Immediately following the scream was the voice coming from the radio.
"Kid, Kidd?!"
Nakamori Ginzo, who had been dealing with Kidd for so many years, instantly recognized the owner of the voice. He was horrified and his eyes immediately fell on the figure who should have been shot by Suzuki Tomoko: "Then he
yes?"
Among the crowd, Kuroba Kaito, who was watching all this with his own eyes, couldn't help but his face darkened: Who is this person with the same voice as him?
"He is the magician Kazuzo Sanada that I specially found. This is actually a show I arranged. This gun is also a model gun." Suzuki Tomoko's face was ugly.
Following her words, the magician Sanada Kazuzo, who was dressed as Kidd, stopped acting, sat up from the table with a solemn expression, and looked up at the venue's announcement office.
"Then, as compensation, I will accept this dark night star, Mrs. Suzuki." The confident tone stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of the door being kicked open——
"Don't move, police!"
The roar, like a divine weapon descending from the sky, made the policemen present, led by Nakamori Ginzo, look happy. Katsuki Uehara, who had been sitting in his seat, frowned as he played with the dark jewelry in his hand that was very likely to explode.
"Police Department! Kidd! Kidd ran away! He ran towards the stern of the ship!"
On the radio, the policeman who was knocked down quickly reported the situation while holding his breath.
Nakamori Ginzo immediately took out the walkie-talkie and roared: "Everyone gather towards the stern of the ship to arrest Kidd! Quick! Don't give him a chance to escape!"
"learn!"
The police officers in the second section all looked as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. The criminal police officers belonging to the third section were dumbfounded when they saw it——
"Have they always been so... aggressive in arresting Kidd?"
Miwako Sato, who was wearing a burgundy off-shoulder dress, looked at her colleagues from Section 2 who ran out of the main venue in an instant, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
"It's not even sure whether that person is Kidd or not."
Uehara Katsuki, who was playing with the pearl in his hand, was always paying attention to the motionless Bermod from the corner of his eyes. He was chatting with his partner as if nothing happened: "According to Kidd's trick, the policeman who just said on the radio that he was running off the stern might be
It's Kidd himself."
"?"
Miwako Sato glanced at him strangely: "Then why didn't you stop the Nakamori Police Department?"
"He was not deceived. Didn't you notice that he never left Tomoko Suzuki at all?" Katsumi Uehara, who raised his head and raised his chin in the direction of Nakamori Ginzo, took a stack of fruits and put them on his hands.
At hand.
Obviously, after fighting Kaitou Kidd for so many years, he will still be wary of tricks to lure him away from home.
"The target of Kaitou Kidd is that the authentic piece of jewelry called [Dark Night Star] is on Tomoko Suzuki?" Miwako Sato, who was slightly shaking her wine glass, reacted instantly.
"This is Suzuki's family heirloom, which means it will only hang on their own people. And the only people who appeared in this venue tonight are mother and daughter Suzuki Tomoko and Suzuki Sonoko."
Throwing away the black pearl that shone brightly under the light, Katsuki Uehara didn't quite understand for a moment that this completely deviated from the development of his memory.
Is Belmode really just here to have a meal?
Did Kidd steal things in another way?
"and you--"
boom!
Bang bang bang!
!
Before Sato Miwako could finish her words, a series of gunshots erupted again in the main venue, which was already slightly commotion due to Kidd's appearance!
After the police left, Black Pearl exploded one after another!
The thick smoke and the panic caused by the explosion of pearls made the guests, whose nerves were up and down several times, no longer able to endure the silent torture——
"What a joke! I don't want to wear something that can explode!"
"I want to get off the boat! I want to go back!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The crowds of people have lost the dignity that the upper class pays attention to——
The collision of shoulders and the collusion of feet, the fog blurred people's impressions of each other and amplified the panic in their hearts.
"hateful!"
Conan, whose thin figure was completely submerged in the panic of the crowd, was shaken up and down. He gritted his teeth and glanced around: Where is it?
Where is Kaitou Kidd?
"Xiaolan! Xiaolan, where are you?! Xiaolan! Conan?!"
Mouri Kogoro, who had not seen his daughter and Conan, spoke in an impatient tone, and relied on his good health to swim upstream in the crowd, constantly shouting their names.
boom!
The next second, gunfire suddenly rang out, causing many people present to tremble!
——?!
"Miss Chris! Danger!"
Miwako Sato, who was just about to cooperate in maintaining order at the scene, saw the crystal lamp on Chris Binyard's head shaking precariously at a glance, and shouted hurriedly.
"What?"
The blond girl looked up as if she was belatedly aware of it. A frightened expression instantly appeared on her brows. Her body seemed to have lost strength in panic and remained motionless!
Damn it!
After just two steps, she felt the inconvenience of this tight-fitting skirt. After cursing secretly, Sato Miwako couldn't help but grab the hem of one side of the skirt with her hands——
Stab!
The sound of tearing cloth, submerged in the sound of panic, fell on the woman's ears, making her feel pain in her heart. Following the same pattern, the other side of the skirt was also torn open!
Her legs, which were no longer restricted, suddenly exerted their strength. Miwako Sato finally arrived near the crystal chandelier just as it was falling. She jumped up and took this big star from the United States into her arms.
Roll on the spot!
Bang!
!
The crystal chandelier fell and shattered!
"Miss Chris, are you okay?"
Her messy short hair was scattered casually, and her torn skirt looked particularly beautiful against the backdrop of her slender legs. Gritting her teeth, Miwako Sato calmed her breathing and looked down at the woman in her arms.
"No, it's okay, thank you."
The woman looked grateful, but when she lowered her head, she saw the blood flowing from Miwako Sato's calf, and she couldn't help but be startled: "You're bleeding, Officer Sato."
"Small problem, you-"
"Sato!"
As soon as Sato Miwako finished speaking, Uehara Katsumi, who was supposed to maintain order on the other side, appeared in front of her at some point. The moment they met, his eyes subconsciously fell on her bare legs.
"Looks like I have to buy this dress, Uehara."
Miwako Sato, who helped Chris Binyard up, lifted the hem of her torn skirt and smiled helplessly: "I hope Mr. Furuta can give me a discount by then."
Uehara Katsuki frowned: "...are you bleeding?"
"It's just a small wound caused by the broken glass, it's okay."
Miwako Sato shrugged, then turned her eyes to the scene where order had gradually been restored, with a smile on her face: "It seems that your speed is not slow either."
"If I were faster, I might be the one who saves the beauty instead of you." Katsuki Uehara glanced at Belmode, who was still in shock, and his tone was full of regret.
He also saw the falling chandelier, but because it was Belmod who was about to hit it, he didn't pay attention. As a result, Miwako Sato, who was on the other side, directly tore off her skirt and went up to save the person.
The American star next to them finally came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Officer Sato, you damaged this skirt to save me. Due to circumstances and reasons, I should compensate for this."
…………………………………………
"She's here to compensate?"
Mihua Town, one of the organization’s strongholds.
Vodka, who was sitting in the living room and cleaning his gun, paused and looked confused: "But brother, wouldn't that be too obvious?
"If she is discovered, the police will definitely suspect her, and how can she guarantee that she will be rescued by those people from the third series?"
"Who knows, that woman may be able to come in handy if she asks for information about those people from the third series."
On the sofa in the living room, Gin, who was chewing a cigarette, sneered: "Don't be idle during this period. Let that person keep an eye on the thief."
"Thief?"
Vodka pushed up his sunglasses, not sure why.
"Most of our people were cleared because the thief was exposed in the Metropolitan Police Department. We just took this opportunity to confirm whether he was acting with the Metropolitan Police Department at that time."
Gin, who was shaking his cigarette ashes, had extremely cold eyes when talking about this matter: "If this thief and the police are actually a team, then when he sees that he is being impersonated, he will definitely report it to his superiors at the Metropolitan Police Department, the group on the cruise ship
Rich people are not vegetarians in this regard."
"Then what if he and the police are not together, and the previous exposure was a coincidence?" Vodka loaded the gun and asked.
"Then he will definitely find out who is impersonating himself to cause commotion on the cruise ship, and how his plan was exposed and used."
Gin raised his eyes and raised a bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth: "In this way, the members of the organization who did some tricks on the batch of pearls he customized will definitely come into his sight."
Katsa——
Vodka, who had loaded the gun, suddenly realized, and a murderous smile appeared on his face: "Once this thief makes a move, we will catch his tail. Right, brother."
Gin, who didn't answer, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"But, brother, how did you guess that this thief would have tampered with those pearls customized by the Suzuki Consortium?"
"The cruise ship is a prison at sea before it docks. If he wants to create chaos to achieve his goal, the more things that can cause chaos, the better. And he must be able to be safely brought aboard without attracting anyone's attention."
After poking out the sparks on his cigarette butt and lowering the brim of his hat, Gin's tone became even more murderous.
He is not this thief who doesn't kill people.
If Kidd dares to find out, he will make the thief pay the price, causing huge losses to the organization.
"Ah sneeze!"
On the Lisabeth, Kuroba Kaito felt his nose feel itchy for no reason and sneezed directly.
"Sister Xiaolan, do you have a cold?"
Conan on the side looked at him doubtfully.
"No, no, I think it was just blown by the wind just now." Kuroba Kaito, who picked up Mao Lilan's voice without any pressure, looked at the people queuing up for inspection not far away, and was already thinking about how to open it.
Lost.
Who is this guy pretending to be me?
What is the purpose of impersonating me?
"What I said is true. Someone is really coming towards me and someone wants to kill me! Both Officer Uehara and Officer Sato can testify for me that at that time someone took a gun and fired a shot at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. That
Things just fell down and hit me!"
On the other side, Chris Binyard, a big star with an American accent, was excitedly gesturing with his hands at the thrilling situation: "Kidd almost killed me! He shot the chandelier! He wanted to create
An accident together!"
"Ah... Well, Ms. Chris, I understand how you feel. Our people are already collecting surveillance and searching the scene."
Ginzo Nakamori, who was in charge of Kidd, frowned, he was a little in disbelief.
Kidd never kills anyone.
Kuroba Kaito, who was watching all this, seemed to understand something. He glanced at the big star who was extremely excited, and his heart sank.
He was taken advantage of and used to take the blame.
Someone wants to kill someone.
"What are you looking at Uehara? Are you still feeling pity that there is no hero to save the beauty? Are you staring at her like this?"
In the police team, Miwako Sato, who testified about what Chris Binyard said, poked her partner with her elbow and curled her lips.
"No, I'm just admiring a beautiful actress."
Katsuki Uehara, who withdrew his gaze, shrugged and looked at her with a smile on his face: "Besides, I seem to have figured out something, something I didn't think about just now."
"?"
"Stop talking about this."
Smiling, Katsuki Uehara's gaze fell from top to bottom on the long white legs that were looming under the woman's skirt. He raised his eyebrows and said: "This skirt is very expensive. How about I help you talk about it and give it to you?"
