Chapter 87: Kaitou Kid almost blown to death

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, and a magician named Izo Sanada dressed up as Kaitou Kid to perform a skit with Tomoko Suzuki.

Then he actually started a personal magic show, including a card-drawing segment.

This immediately attracted the attention of Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

Kaitou Kid, disguised as Ran, eyes lit up, and he came up with an idea.

He stepped forward quickly, pretending to draw a card.

"Ah! Look! It's Kaitou Kid! Kaitou Kid's card!"

He waved the card in his hand, shouting like a thief crying "stop thief."

"What?!" Conan exclaimed and leaned in.

He saw the card read:

"I am like the Caesar bewitched by the Queen of Egypt, I have already come to your~ side..."

Ginzo Nakamori also ran over, shouting loudly: "Damn it! Kaitou Kid has snuck in! Seal the exits, forbid anyone from entering or leaving, we must catch him tonight!"

"Yes!" A group of cops hidden in the crowd responded and scattered.

Conan reached out to pinch his chin, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Looks like the range has been locked down."

"Yes. Next, as long as we wait for the rabbit to hit the tree, that guy will reveal his own flaws."

"Kaitou Kid is among those people performing the card magic. And, it's very likely..."

Conan's gaze fell on Ran.

The crowd was a bit restless, Izo Sanada's magic performance paused, and Kaitou Kid, disguised as Ran, took the opportunity to come to Tomoko Suzuki's side.

And at this moment, Sonoko finally found Akaso Kaze.

"Akaso-san, I'll tell you a secret." Sonoko looked around and said carefully.

"What?" Akaso Kaze was a bit curious.

"I think Ran is Kaitou Kid in disguise."

Akaso Kaze couldn't help but smile slightly upon hearing this.

Sonoko was anxious, "Akaso-san, I'm telling the truth, she even said she was willing to share..."

Sonoko blushed instantly, too embarrassed to continue.

"Anyway, this Ran is definitely a disguise, you should hurry and save the real Ran."

Akaso Kaze smiled and touched Sonoko's short hair, leaning into her ear to say: "Don't worry, Ran has already been placed in a safe place by me."

"Don't make a scene yet, let's watch together how this phantom thief plans to steal the jewelry."

Hearing that Ran was fine, Sonoko let out a long sigh of relief.

Feeling the heat by her ear, her little ears turned red instantly, as if blood were about to drip from them.

Her body leaned against Akaso Kaze involuntarily.

Akaso Kaze didn't pay any mind; he was watching Kaitou Kid's pretentious performance.

"Ran, why is the black pearl on your chest missing?" Tomoko Suzuki asked.

"Huh?" Kaitou Kid pretended to be very surprised, "It seems to have fallen on the ground. That gentleman, could you help me pick it up?"

Kaitou Kid pointed to the pearl rolling on the floor.

The man called "gentleman" bent down, and just as he touched the black pearl on the ground, it suddenly exploded, startling everyone around.

"Ah? W-what is that?"

"What's going on?"

"It looks like the pearl exploded."

"What? Ex-exploded?"

"How could it explode? You must have seen it wrong."

The crowd was buzzing, and the eyes of Kogoro Mouri and the police were also drawn over.

Conan's expression was solemn, carefully watching Ran.

Kaitou Kid is likely about to make his move!

This time he must catch him before Akaso Kaze does, catching him red-handed!

Just then, a "rumble-rumble" sound suddenly came from the floor.

A large number of black pearls were seen rolling across the banquet hall floor.

Several of them rolled toward Akaso Kaze and Sonoko.

"Oh my, you dare blow me up? You've got some nerve!"

Akaso Kaze was not pleased.

He hugged Sonoko with one hand and took the opportunity to use his Hand of Intent and Gate of Space.

The few exploding black pearls disappeared from in front of them and appeared above Kaitou Kid's head.

Kaitou Kid was secretly pleased, watching the confused crowd around him.

Hehe, there's going to be a show to watch soon...

Let's all have fun together!

Just as he was thinking this, a few black things fell in front of him.

Kaitou Kid was quick-handed and caught them instinctively.

His skills were superb; not one of the falling spheres escaped him.

In the blink of an eye, he had caught them all in his hands.

Nice craftsmanship.

Kaitou Kid looked down, feeling smug.

He was instantly stunned.

Huh?

Why do I have a pile of this stuff in my hand?

*Boom boom boom boom boom.*

A series of light explosions rang out around the hall.

The rolling black pearls exploded one after another, startling the guests nearby.

A smell of gunpowder suddenly permeated the air.

The guests who saw the black pearls explode with their own eyes shouted in terror:

"My god! These black pearls actually exploded?"

"What is going on?"

"Ah, I don't want to wear such dangerous things."

"The hall is too dangerous, let's hurry out of here, let's escape outside!"

A group of guests clamored and rushed toward the banquet hall doors together.

Although the police had arranged for people to block the entrance, it was useless against the crush of hundreds of people.

The doors were easily pushed open, and the crowd rushed outside.

The smoke dissipated slightly, and Kaitou Kid stood where he was, coughing incessantly.

Black smoke kept puffing out of his mouth.

Damn it!

Good thing I put so little gunpowder in them!

If I'd put in any more, I might have been blown to death just now.

Kaitou Kid blown to death by his own props...

If my father knew, he'd be so angry he'd come back to life.

Feeling a gaze like lightning from afar, Kaitou Kid looked over immediately.

It's him!

It really is him!

Only this strongest onmyoji in Tokyo could have such god-like, ghost-like methods.

The meaning in Akaso Kaze's eyes was clear.

If you dare provoke me, be prepared to lose your life.

Kaitou Kid hurriedly nodded and bowed, wearing a sheepish smile.

"A misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
