Chapter 275 The Stolen Dark Star
Chapter 275 The Stolen Dark Star
Just when the crowd was in chaos, Conan finally figured out everything, just when the police were wondering whether the black pearl had been stolen.
Conan, standing nearby, answered directly:
"Don't worry, that guy hasn't..."
Before Conan could finish his words, Ling Cheng pinched his waist and forced him to stop reasoning.
Ling Cheng: "Don't start thinking of yourself as Kudo Shinichi (main character) and Edogawa-kun (second character) as soon as you enter the reasoning state."
Ling Cheng smiled brightly, but his meaning was obvious: if you say another word, I will strangle you to death.
Conan broke out in a cold sweat, subconsciously, really subconsciously.
Then, facing the confused look on the face of Officer Nakamori and others, Conan immediately changed his words:
"I mean, that Kaito Kidd must still be on the ship. He can't get away."
Conan laughed it off, and the two police officers stopped paying attention to them. Ling Cheng then put his hand down. Conan rubbed his waist, but did not forget his previous reasoning.
"I already know who the dark star is."
Ling Cheng nodded.
"On whom?"
Conan: "Pearl means moon and female. I just looked at the guest list, and the only one with the word moon in her name is Mrs. Suzuki."
Ling Cheng understood. As expected, such an important thing was kept by himself. How reasonable! Who would be willing to give it away?
Now what needs to be found is who Kaito Kidd has disguised himself as. Ling Cheng pointed his finger.
"The only people who have ever touched playing cards are the magician himself and the people who shuffled the cards. Sister Xiaolan and the others are also here, so they should know."
As he was speaking, there was a sound of explosion, and the crowd suddenly screamed and became chaotic. Ling Cheng looked over and saw several more pearls falling to the ground, rolling and exploding in smoke.
The people in the banquet hall immediately turned hostile. They plucked the pearls from their chests and threw them on the ground. Lingshi shook his head, thinking that this group of people were truly selfish.
Not only did they throw away pearls and words of blame, but they also rushed out of the banquet hall despite the police's obstruction. While they were escaping, they knocked down Suzuki Tomoko.
Ran Mouri immediately helped the man up and asked him. Conan locked his eyes and found him, Kaito Kid.
Sure enough, after a while, the pearl on Suzuki Tomoko's chest disappeared. It was stolen by Kaito Kid.
Ling Cheng gestured to Conan:
I'm going to hold him down?
Conan shook his head and said, "No, there are too many people here and he will run away like last time."
Ling Cheng thought so too. While he was communicating, the group of people had already broken through the police line and ran out of the banquet hall.
Seeing this, Lingshi walked up to Kaito Kid, patted him on the shoulder and whispered a few words, then before Conan and the others could get suspicious, he pretended to be passing by and walked away.
But Ling Cheng still noticed it, and Ling Cheng pretended to block it for a few seconds, so Conan didn't notice it at all. After all, he was more focused on catching Kaito Kidd.
So after Conan and Ling Cheng agreed, Conan ran over and grabbed Mao Lilan's hand, saying that he wanted to catch Kaito Kid, and he already knew who Kaito Kid was.
Mao Lilan was shocked and immediately ran out with Conan. On the way, Mao Lilan also asked about Ling Cheng's whereabouts.
Conan: "Brother Ling Cheng has already gone, we should go over and help him."
Conan pulled Mouri Ran all the way to the empty computer room. Just when Mouri Ran was confused, Ling Cheng jumped out from somewhere and kicked Mouri Ran.
However, the sound of someone stepping on the iron plate in the engine room was obvious, and it was still avoided. Ling Cheng had to land on the ground and brake regretfully, then looked at Mao Lilan with a very regretful expression.
Mao Lilan: "What are you doing, Ling Cheng, is Kidd here too?"
Ling Cheng: "Yes, how can we catch him if he's not here?"
Mao Lilan sincerely asked where Kaito Kid was. Conan got a football out of nowhere and kicked it while reasoning:
"Pearl represents the moon and women, so we know that pearl is on Sonoko's mother."
Mao Lilan: "Then how do you know who Kaito Kid is?"
Ling Cheng: Do you two really have to do this?
He felt a bit redundant, but because he didn't kill the enemy with one blow, Ling Cheng lost the chance to attack again.
Conan explained the reasoning seriously and then pointed out that Mao Lilan was actually Kaito Kid in disguise.
"It's really amazing. I didn't even notice that after you successfully impersonated Xiaolan, you used that message to shake the guests present.
The black pearl exploded, throwing everyone into chaos. So you took advantage of the confusion and, when Mrs. Suzuki fell, helped her up and snatched the real pearl."
Ling Cheng: Haha, he has already been on the big account of reasoning. I hope Kaito Kidd can't think of such a bizarre thing, otherwise the vest will be blown up.
Conan has pointed out the true identity of Kaito Kid, but he still pretends to be stupid and really thinks he is the real Ran Mouri.
"Well, since you doubt me so much, let's call the police."
Kaito Kid said this and went to pick up the phone beside him, but Conan kicked it with a football and the whole phone fell apart.
Kaito Kidd's face was filled with disbelief, while Ling Cheng whistled.
"Cool, this one goes to Kidd!"
Kaito Kidd: This little brat!
Conan stopped the football that was rolling back.
"I'm not letting you do that thing you did on the roof of the hotel again. You didn't call the police to mock me then.
You used a glider to make people think you were flying, and then you threw a flashbang and disguised yourself as a police officer, blending in with the police so they couldn't find you."
This little brat is also very troublesome!
Kaito Kid's expression was no longer the poker face he had just had, but had become unpleasant. Conan continued:
"Besides, is calling people here the only tactic you can do?"
"I'm using all my vigilance to show respect to an artist like you who walks into a crime scene alone..."
Conan spoke for too long, and Ling Cheng yawned, which really ruined the atmosphere. Conan glared at him, and Ling Cheng quickly raised his hand and made a zipper motion with his mouth.
Conan: Damn, this guy.
Ling Cheng: Yawn, such a long speech, and Kaito Kidd really has the patience to listen. In this time, he could have escaped three kilometers away.
Conan withdrew his gaze from Ling Cheng and stared at Kaito Kidd. Kidd followed suit and raised his hands in surrender. In one of his hands was a black pearl wrapped in a handkerchief.
"I am truly impressed by you. I will give up this pearl."
After saying that, the pearl was thrown towards Conan by Kaito Kid, who then apologized for Mrs. Suzuki on his behalf and ruined his party.
Conan thought he was talking nonsense, but Kid pulled out the chest strap from his dress.
"I borrowed a dress from that girl and left her sleeping alone in the lifeboat. If I don't go find her, she might catch a cold."
After saying that, he put on sunglasses and threw a flash bomb while Conan was stunned. Conan was blinded again, and Ling Cheng calmly took out his sunglasses and put them on.
After the flash, the closed door opened. Conan was about to chase it, but he looked back at the fallen clothes and had to pick them up.
"Ling Cheng, you go after him, I'll go find Xiaolan!"
As a result, he found that Ling Cheng had disappeared. Conan then realized that Ling Cheng probably went to chase him, so he felt relieved and ran out with his clothes.
Conan's footsteps faded away until they could no longer be heard, and then a figure reappeared in the empty computer room.
