Chapter 51: Unlucky Kaito Kidd
Kidd left a second notice letter when he was "scared" away by Suzuki Sonoko.
Perhaps because he was worried that no one would be able to crack his code, the content of the second letter was much more concise and clear: On April 19th, I will go to the Sally Beth, which is sailing from Yokohama Port, to take away the Dark Star.
April 4th is also the 19th anniversary of the Suzuki Group.
At that time, the Suzuki Group will invite celebrities from all walks of life to hold a grand sea party on the cruise ship.
This time, Kidd is here to steal the Dark Star seriously, so Yuya accepts Suzuki Sonoko's invitation and comes to the Sally Beth, where he meets Mouri Ran and Conan.
Conan looked sneaky and busy observing the people around him.
He had learned from Dr. Agasa about the method Kaito Kid often uses when stealing treasures, which is to disguise himself as other people and take the opportunity to get close to the target; and his disguise skills are very advanced, it can be said that they have reached the level of magic. In the blink of an eye, he may change his identity, making it impossible to guard against him.
Conan's eyes fell on Yuya.
In order to prevent being backstabbed, Conan plans to eliminate the suspicion of people around him first, so that in the next action, there will at least be people he can trust. He has already confirmed that Suzuki Sonoko and Mouri Ran are the real people.
Among all the people present, the only one who could best cooperate with him in capturing Kaito Kidd was Yuya.
As for Suzuki Sonoko...even though she was praised as a miracle in the newspapers, Conan already knew that she was able to ambush Kid in advance thanks to the answers given by Yuya.
Thinking of this, Conan felt a little depressed. He spent a whole night and morning to figure out the code, but it was cracked by Yuya in a blink of an eye. This feeling of failure was too depressing...
Conan sneaked up to Yuya and pulled his trouser leg: "Brother Yuya..."
Hmm? Yuya looked down at Conan with a strange look, and whispered: "Can Kaito Kidd disguise himself as a child?" As he said that, he squatted down and grabbed Conan's face and pulled it hard.
Conan cried out in pain, slapped Yuya's hand away, rubbed his red face and asked angrily: "What are you doing?"
Yuya sneered: "You kid, you are so weird, actually calling me 'Yuya brother', eh~~~ so disgusting, I am getting goosebumps."
Conan looked speechless with his dead eyes drooping, this must be the real thing.
···
After the boat sailed away for a distance, Shiro Suzuki, chairman of the Suzuki Group and father of Suzuki Sonoko, came on stage to deliver a speech.
Afterwards, Suzuki Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko, who was no less troublesome than her daughter, got a lot of fake dark stars that were exactly the same and gave one to each guest.
Suzuki Tomoko even declared war on Kaito Kid: "Only one of these pearls is real, Kaito Kid, come and steal it if you have the guts!"
Yuya naturally got one as well.
He observed the pearl in his hand, then looked at the real one on Suzuki Tomoko's chest, and showed an expression of "I see."
The one that Tomoko Suzuki wears on her chest is the only authentic one.
Of course, Yuya has no interest in whether it is a real or fake product. The main reason he came this time is to meet the legendary Kaito Kidd who has a very high IQ.
He knew very well that Kaito Kidd had already sneaked onto the ship, and with his great skill and courage, he directly disguised himself as Shiro Suzuki, and even went on stage and gave a speech with great interest.
Not long after that, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't find her sister. When she called her, she found out that her sister and father were still at home. The call from Kid disguised as a police inspector delayed their time to board the ship.
"What? Still at home?" Inspector Nakamori was shocked. "Then the one on the boat must be fake. Seal off the banquet hall immediately and find the fake Chairman Dong for me!"
However, such means obviously could not catch Kidd, as he had already left the banquet hall quietly.
Conan hurried to Shiro Suzuki's guest room, but only found the camouflage props discarded on the ground.
When Mao Lilan saw Conan running around, she was worried that he was in danger so she chased after him, but was blocked by the chaotic crowd for a while. When she looked again, Conan had disappeared. When she was anxiously looking for him, Kidd secretly attacked and knocked him unconscious, and he hid.
Yuya looked at the somewhat messy banquet hall without any panic, he knew Kidd would definitely come back, there was no need to waste energy looking for him everywhere.
···
Not long after, Conan and "Mauri Ran" came back.
Kid, posing as Ran Mouri, looked around the banquet hall openly, and his gaze lingered on Yuya and Suzuki Tomoko.
Pay attention to Tomoko Suzuki because he has seen through the location of the true dark star.
And looking at Youya was out of curiosity.
When Kidd was reading the newspaper and admiring his own heroic figure, he would often see reports about a famous high school detective named Yuya Kamiya. It was said that his crime-solving rate was 100%, and no criminal could escape from his hands, as if he had a cheat code.
I wonder if he is better at catching thieves than solving cases...
Thinking of this, Kidd looked down at the red dress on his body. Considering that this Mouri Ran was Yuya Kamiya's childhood sweetheart, should he use this identity to test her out?
Thinking of this, Kidd took a step towards Yuya.
But Yuya's action made Kidd feel a chill on his back.
I saw that when You was looking around the banquet hall, his eyes swept over me, and then he stared at me straight, looking him up and down as if he had X-ray vision, and then a very strange look appeared in his eyes, as if... he was looking at a pervert?
"..."
Because he wanted to disguise himself as Ran Mouri, Kid deliberately observed the people around her, especially Yuya and Suzuki Sonoko.
Obviously, Yuya had never looked at Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko with such eyes before, why now...
Did he see through it?
Kidd instinctively wanted to run away, but when he saw that the other party did not make any other moves, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Perhaps it was just his detective intuition that made him feel something was wrong, not that he had really discovered his disguise.
There is still a chance, Kidd secretly encouraged himself, I just don’t believe it, I can’t even play the role of a girl well?
Thinking of this, Kid tried hard to play the role of a gentle high school girl. Just when she saw that Conan's tie was crooked, she squatted down to help him fix it.
···
Of course Yuya saw through Kidd's disguise.
With the help of Brother Tongzi, whose performing skills had been upgraded to the proficient level and who had mastered superb disguise techniques, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with "Mouri Ran".
If you want to disguise yourself as one person without being discovered, the first thing to do is to avoid being discovered. The two people should not appear at the same time, otherwise you will be exposed immediately.
Secondly, you need to have a certain understanding of the target of disguise, including personality, habits and main interpersonal relationships, otherwise you will be seen through by familiar people at a glance.
No matter how much Kid investigates, he will never be able to compare to Yuya, who grew up with Mouri Ran. The same goes for Conan.
Although Conan would briefly forget about Ran Mouri when investigating a case, when Ran came so close to him to help him adjust his tie, he was still an adolescent boy after all, and he could only see Ran Mouri in his eyes.
And at this glance, I realized something was wrong.
Kid helped Conan fix his tie and patted his head with a smile. At this moment, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Conan looked at him with the same strange eyes as the detective.
Kid suddenly felt a chill on his back. He wondered if he had traveled through time to a horror movie. Everyone looked at him with the same look as Yuya Kamiya, a pair of X-ray eyes that made Kid feel cold all over.
But soon, Kidd found that Conan had turned innocent again, and the speed was so fast that he suspected that everything just now was an illusion.
Conan took the initiative to talk to "Mauri Ran": "Sister Xiaolan, who do you think Kid is pretending to be?"
This kind of question is normal, but Kidd, who just experienced two pairs of strange looks, has a full escape ability and he feels something is wrong.
The next second, Kidd suddenly turned his head—a cold light flashed past his side face.
Exposed? Why? He hasn't answered the question yet? How did he get exposed? And what the hell, why would a primary school student carry a hidden weapon? Kidd was shocked.
It would be fine if the famous detective Yuya Kamiya saw through me, but why could this brat also see through my disguise?
It's a pity that Kidd doesn't know yet that Conan is Kudo Shinichi. When he finds out one day in the future, he will understand why his disguise is always seen through by an elementary school student.
Kidd let out a click of his tongue and threw a large piece of black pearls to the ground with a wave of explosions. With the sound of bangs, a large amount of smoke filled the banquet hall and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Kidd quickly approached Suzuki Tomoko under the cover of smoke, and without anyone noticing, he easily took away the real dark star.
···
On the lookout on the deck, Kidd looked at the sea with some melancholy.
He took out the dark star and shone it up to the moonlight, then sighed with regret. This one wasn't it either.
And although he succeeded in taking the Dark Star, all the gorgeous performances he had originally designed to take the Dark Star were ruined. Taking away the treasure in such a rough way was not in line with his aesthetic as a thief at all.
Next time, I must avoid that detective, or just knock him out and disguise myself as him. Kid was thinking about how to guard against Yuya next time.
"Clap clap clap!"
Just as Kidd was about to leave, accompanied by a lot of popping sounds, the familiar white appeared in Kidd's eyes again - he was blind again!
Ah! What's going on? Kidd covered his face with his cloak to block the strong light.
"Click, click, click!" The sounds of taking pictures were accompanied by the flashing of light.
"Could it be..." Kidd's heart sank suddenly, and he thought of a figure he didn't want to see.
"Lord Kidd!!! Do you still remember me? I'm Suzuki Sonoko!" Suzuki Sonoko was jumping and dancing at the bottom of the observation deck, wearing sunglasses and waving desperately at Kidd.
Why is it this woman again!!! Kidd yelled in his heart, are you here to defeat me? Why do you like flashing more than him? And can you put away your damn searchlight?
Suzuki Sonoko waved her hands vigorously and shouted expectantly toward the observation deck: "Master Kidd, can you take a photo with me this time?"
Yuya is so awesome. He said that he could wait for Kaito Kid by lying in ambush here, so she prepared all the equipment in advance, and in the end she actually waited for him!
This time, I must take a good picture of Mr. Kidd’s heroic appearance!
Damn it! Kidd took out his sunglasses and put them on, then threw his cape and laughed, "I meet you again, what a fate!"
"Yes, yes!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up. Lord Kidd said that we are destined to meet!
Kidd lowered his head, tapped his forehead with his right hand, and said in a solemn tone: "I wanted to agree, but unfortunately it was not a good opportunity this time, and another inhospitable friend came to disrupt the situation."
Suzuki Sonoko made such a big noise on the deck that of course all the police were alarmed. They rushed up all at once, and then... they were all blinded.
Only Yuya, who had prepared in advance, leisurely took out his sunglasses and put them on, then looked up at the white figure.
Conan covered his eyes with tears streaming down his face. He grabbed Yuya's trouser leg and thought to himself that he should prepare a pair of sunglasses next time. Sonoko was too troublesome.
In order to ensure that the heroic appearance of Mr. Kidd was captured, Suzuki Sonoko prepared an ultra-high-power searchlight. She also learned from the lesson of insufficient film last time, so this time she prepared enough film and the camera has not stopped yet.
Kidd was wearing sunglasses, but he still felt like he was being blinded by the light.
After waiting for a while, the flash still did not stop. Kidd felt something was wrong and knew he could not delay any longer. He waved his hand and the cloak behind him tightened and turned into a hang glider.
He posed in a chic manner and said coolly: "Miss, it's time for me to leave again. I will take Dark Star away. See you next time!"
As he said this, he jumped into the sea.
Then what Kidd didn't expect was that because he was affected by the flash, he didn't notice a cable in front of him.
He looks very handsome when he jumps, but looks very embarrassed when he crashes into something.
Oops! Kidd almost fell down. He finally managed to steady himself, but he felt something light in his pocket. The dark star actually fell out and fell straight to the deck.
Kidd's face changed. If this fell on the hard deck, it would definitely break into pieces!
He had checked it when he first came out, and this dark star was not the gem he was looking for. He had originally planned to return it, and since it was lost, he might as well do it a favor.
Kidd threw out two playing cards in succession, accurately hitting the dark star in the air.
After being hit twice, the dark star changed its falling trajectory and fell right into the palm of Suzuki Sonoko's hand.
Suzuki Sonoko stared blankly at the black pearl in her hand. When she looked up again, Kidd had disappeared.
······
So the next day, Suzuki Sonoko made headlines again for defeating Kaito Kidd for the second time and taking back the Dark Star.
At the Suzuki residence, Suzuki Sonoko cried into her pillow: "Why is this happening? I just wanted to take a photo with Mr. Kidd!"
At the same time, in a villa in Jiang Gutian, there were cries of grief: "My lifelong reputation!"
