Chapter 72: I can't say there is no difference, I can only say they are exactly the same
Everyone looked at Hamano Toshiya with interest.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Hamano Toshiya coughed lightly, put his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and said mysteriously: "Then first of all, the person who is the acting director and is circled is... Miss Kuroda Naoko!"
Naoko Kuroda was stunned: "Huh? How is that possible?" Then she walked to the table and turned over the paper with the circle on it, and it turned out that Kuroda's name was really written on it.
Hamano Toshiya continued, "Then the person in charge of boiling water is you, Miss Tanaka Kikue."
Tanaka Kikue looked reluctant and walked over to open the paper. Indeed, the person written on the paper with the triangle was her.
"You're not cheating, are you?" Kikue Tanaka looked at Toshiya Hamano suspiciously.
Hamano Toshiya shrugged his shoulders and said, "How is that possible? You wrote the name and Sonoko drew the pattern. I didn't touch the paper or pen from beginning to end!"
Although Tanaka Kikue was skeptical, she would not cheat since that was the result of the magic trick, so she went to boil water obediently.
Hamano Toshiya smiled and said, "Then, the next person is the one who will be in charge of the entertainment program. If my sixth sense is still correct, that person is Mr. Doi Takeki!"
Doi Takeshu was surprised: "Wow, this is really the end, I'm not good at doing entertainment programs."
Araki opened the paper with great interest, but showed a surprised expression. He smiled and said, "Oh, oh, it's you who is in charge of the entertainment program, Mr. Hamano."
"Ah?" Hamano Toshiya was confused.
Araki handed him the paper, and it did have Hamano's last name written on it.
Hamano Toshiya touched the back of his head with a question mark in his mind, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Tanaka Kikue left.
Suzuki Sonoko said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Hamano's magic trick failed. Then please prepare the next entertainment program."
Araki Yoshinori also teased him and told him not to fail again.
Hamano Toshiya went upstairs with a depressed look on his face.
Miyano Shiho poked Yuya with her arm curiously: "Did you figure out the trick of this magic?"
Conan also looked up curiously. He didn't know much about magic, but if you asked him how to commit the crime, he would be quite confident.
Youye smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just prepare the paper in advance."
Miyano Shiho had a puzzled look on her face: "But, we just watched Miss Tanaka write her name, didn't we?"
Yuya nodded, "The name was indeed written on the spot, but did any of us see Sonoko draw the pattern?"
Miyano Shiho thought about it and realized that at the request of Hamano Toshiya, when Suzuki Sonoko was drawing the pattern, everyone else stayed away to avoid seeing the answer in advance.
Conan immediately figured it out: "I know, it turns out that Miss Tanaka is Mr. Hamano's agent! When she handed the paper to Sister Sonoko, she secretly exchanged the paper with the name and pattern written on it that she had prepared in advance with the paper with the name just written on it. Then, the pen given to Sister Sonoko couldn't write anything, so no matter how Sister Sonoko drew, she wouldn't leave any pattern on the paper."
"Sonoko was blindfolded, so she didn't know that the pen in her hand couldn't write. Then Tanaka took the pen away and replaced it with another pen that could write, and the magic was complete!"
Yuya nodded: "Yes, this method of exchanging objects looks magical. In fact, for magic enthusiasts, it is completely possible to do it with more practice."
As he said this, he rubbed Conan's head as a compliment, which earned him a big eye roll.
"But," Miyano Shiho thought for a moment, "they were two people who were secretly hooking up, but in the end both of them were chosen."
Yuya smiled and said, "Maybe Ms. Tanaka thought it was unfair for her to boil water by herself, so she dragged Mr. Hamano into it as well."
···
Yuya wandered over to Doi Takeki's room and knocked on the door.
Doi Takeshu opened the door and was a little surprised to see Yuya: "I remember you are... Mr. Kamiya? What's going on?"
Yuya patted Doitake's shoulder and walked into the room while he was confused: "By the way, Mr. Doitake, do you know any rare gems in this place?"
Doi Takeshu was shocked, but asked calmly, "Why do you ask that, Mr. Kamiya?"
Yuya raised an eyebrow: "Oh? If there are no gems here, then why are you here? Mr. Kaito Kidd."
Doitakeshu was silent for a while, but did not deny it. Instead, he asked, "How did you know?"
Yuya smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just reverse the order of the pseudonyms of the name Doi Takeki, and it will become the name Kaito Kid, right?"
Doi Takeshu's eyes widened slightly: "You concluded that I am Kaito Kidd because of this? Haven't you ever thought that it was a coincidence?"
Yuya shrugged, "If it was anyone else I might think it was a coincidence, but if it was you it's different."
Kidd's eyes fell on the window and he began to think about the escape route. Yuya quickly said, "You don't have to think about running. My purpose in coming to you is not to catch you."
Kid looked at Yuya doubtfully, he wasn't sure if he could trust this detective.
Yuya shrugged his shoulders. "I guess, since there are no gems here, you must have some other purpose for coming here, right?"
Kidd was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I once had an in-depth exchange with a magician on the Internet, and we had a pretty good relationship. Not long ago, when the magician was performing an escape magic on stage, something went wrong and he died on stage."
"But among the people who attended the party today, there was a person who used the magician's online name. I was a little curious, so I came to take a look."
Yuya stroked his chin, a thoughtful look on his face, and paced around the room: "Are you talking about Tanaka Kikue?"
Kidd was surprised: "How did you know? That's right, Tanaka Kikue is the granddaughter of that magician."
Yuya smiled and pointed to his head: "Don't underestimate the detective."
You can't say that he knew it a long time ago, right? He had some impression of this case, and his vague memory gradually recovered after observing the people present, especially when Tanaka Kikue went to boil water.
At this moment, she should be preparing to kill Hamano Toshiya, right?
But it's okay, he has already asked Conan to go to Hamano Toshiya's room. As for the reason? Yuya said, "I think the way that man named Hamano looks at Xiaolan is not right."
Conan immediately expressed his anger and said he would go and test the person's attitude.
I guess since there were other people in the room, Tanaka Kikue probably didn't dare to do it.
"Come to think of it," Yuya said suddenly.
Kidd: "What?"
"I'm curious..." Yuya had taken the opportunity to get very close to Kidd, "I'm curious about what you look like!"
Before he could finish his words, he pounced on him.
Kidd had been mentally prepared. He knew that these detectives could not be trusted and would not let him off easily even if they said nice things.
Seeing Youya rushing towards him, he subconsciously stepped back and tried to avoid him.
Unfortunately, his attention was focused on Yuya and he forgot to observe his surroundings. When he stepped back, he accidentally bumped into the foot of the bed and his body fell uncontrollably.
How could Yuya let go of such a good opportunity? He pressed forward and pressed Kidd onto the bed.
He had just said so much to Kidd, actually just to divert his attention.
"???"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't arrest me?" Kidd struggled desperately while being pinned down, but he found that the detective in front of him was incredibly strong and his hands were controlled. In addition, he had never expected that his identity would be exposed so quickly, and he had not prepared other props in advance. Now he had a set of superb magic but was unable to perform it.
"Shh!" Yuya grinned, "I believe you still remember Suzuki Sonoko? What do you think will happen if I shout 'Kaito Kid is here'?"
Kidd's face changed, he thought of the woman who was his nemesis and had embarrassed him twice.
"Please don't!"
"What do you want to do?" Kidd gave up struggling, but in his heart he was constantly looking for a way to escape.
"Nothing, I just want to see what you look like." Does he really look exactly like Kudo Shinichi?
"Ms. Shiho?" Youya called in a voice neither too loud nor too soft.
Click, the door was opened and quickly closed.
You know, when people are struggling, their clothes will inevitably be messed up, so when Miss Shiho came in, she saw two people entangled in the bed, with their clothes in disarray.
His eyes suddenly became strange.
Yuya said he wanted to see Kaito Kidd's true face, but he didn't say it was done in this way...
"Kamiya, I didn't expect you to have such a hobby." Miyano Shiho couldn't help but teasing.
Youye was speechless: "Hurry up, tear off the mask on his face."
Miyano Shiho nodded and walked over quickly.
A look of horror appeared on Kidd's face, but he was held down firmly by Yuya and had no way to escape.
"Swish!" Miyano Shiho raised her hand, skillfully found the edge of the mask, and tore it off with force.
"..." Youye fell silent and slowly loosened his hand.
Miyano Shiho was also a little surprised.
Kidd quickly retreated with his hands protecting his chest and hid in the corner. His clothes were disheveled, his face was full of grievance, and he was about to cry. He looked at the man and woman in front of him with eyes like beasts.
"It's really exactly the same." Yuya sighed, and Miyano Shiho nodded in agreement.
With the mask torn off, Kid's true face was revealed. It cannot be said that there is no difference at all, but it can be said that it is exactly the same as Kudo Shinichi. The only difference is the color of the pupils... and the tearful expression.
If Yuya didn't know that Kid's father was Kuroba Toichi, he would really suspect that Kudo Yusaku was having an affair without telling his family.
