Chapter 224: Kid who was secretly photographed

~4 min read 652 words

Not long after, all the invited guests were invited into the banquet hall, and the cruise party officially began.

On the stage of the banquet hall, after Shiro Suzuki, disguised by Kaitou Kid, gave a brief speech, Tomoko Suzuki walked to Shiro Suzuki's side and said:

"Before the party officially begins, regarding Kaitou Kid's provocation to our Suzuki family, I have an idea to challenge that stupid thief."

"Everyone must have received a box like this when entering the banquet hall, right? Inside this box is our Suzuki family's heirloom, the Dark Star!"

"Of course, among these five hundred pearls, there is only one genuine one. If Kaitou Kid wants to steal the Dark Star, please let him find that genuine one during the party time!"

As Tomoko Suzuki spoke, all the guests present opened their boxes, and exclamations came from all around.

Beside Akaso Kaze, Ran also looked at the black pearl in the box and exclaimed: "Wow! So beautiful! Akaso-san, you don't think mine is the real one, do you?"

Conan also looked at Akaso Kaze and asked: "Akaso-niisan, do you know which one is real?"

Akaso Kaze smiled without saying a word.

That goes without saying, how could such a precious heirloom be in someone else's hands?

You can guess it's in Tomoko's hands, no need to solve the riddle.

If it were handed to someone else, even Sonoko, what if it got bumped or dropped in the toilet? You'd have nowhere to cry.

Not long after, Sonoko also walked over and asked strangely:

"Akaso-san, Ran, have you seen my sister?"

"You mean Ms. Ayako?" Ran thought for a moment, "I haven't seen her."

"Neither have we." Kogoro Mouri and Conan shook their heads.

"Ms. Ayako should still be at home." Akaso Kaze said casually.

"Still at home? No way, didn't she get on the ship?" Sonoko asked in surprise.

"Not just your sister, even your father is still at home." Akaso Kaze smiled.

"What?" Sonoko's eyes widened, "Akaso-san means, my father is Kaitou Kid in disguise?"

"How is that possible!" Kogoro Mouri didn't believe it at all, "I was just talking to him for a long time."

Conan frowned.

Having experienced the encounter in the exhibition hall, he had a deep feeling about Kaitou Kid's disguise technique.

To be able to change his appearance and become someone else in such a short time is truly incredible.

But he had also been with Shiro Suzuki for a long time just now, and he hadn't found any abnormalities either.

You know, Conan was holding twelve points of vigilance, especially paying special attention to those who could touch the pearl.

Even so, he didn't find anything wrong with Shiro Suzuki.

Akaso Kaze had only met Shiro Suzuki once, said hello, and said a total of two sentences, and he found the problem?

Is the gap between me and him that big?

Conan looked at the stage, and Shiro Suzuki, who was just on stage, was gone.

His heart sank.

It's eight or nine out of ten that Akaso Kaze was right again.

Conan said to Sonoko, "Sonoko-older sister, contact home quickly."

Sonoko took out her phone from her handbag and made a call home.

The call was connected quickly, and Sonoko heard the voice on the other side and said "Ah":

"Sister, you really are still at home? What? The police officer said the departure was delayed by two hours? Dad is also at home?"

"Ha?!" Kogoro Mouri was instantly bewildered.

"Mr. Suzuki is really still at home? Then the Mr. Suzuki who gave the speech on stage just now was Kaitou Kid?"

"Akaso-san, you were right again."

Akaso Kaze smiled indifferently.

I saw it as soon as we met, okay?

I just didn't want you to catch him, okay?

Conan looked grave and hurriedly ran toward the stage to ask the waiter nearby: "Excuse me, where did Mr. Suzuki go?"
