Ke Xue's Kogoro

45 Octopus
Trotting all the way home, Conan immediately ran to Kogoro's bedroom.

Opening the door quietly, Kogoro was still fast asleep on the bed.Conan quickly glanced around the room, but found nothing.

The door was closed, and Kogoro smiled crookedly, Xiao Mian!

Kogoro slept soundly here, but Kidd didn't sleep all night after returning home. He spent the whole night discussing with his old housekeeper how to investigate Batman.

Time passed quickly. On the evening of April 4th, Kogoro took Ran and Conan to Yokohama Port and boarded the Sally Beth.

"Ah~"

Kogoro leaned against the guardrail and yawned big.

Xiaolan complained: "Dad, have you been playing games all night again? I've already told mom, you wait for her to come back and clean you up!"

Kogoro rolled his dead fish eyes, but he was thinking in his heart that in order to increase Batman's popularity, it is really tiring to go out to fight for justice in the middle of the night.

In particular, there are many cases of various kinds in this world, but there are almost no such trivial matters as robbery and theft.Apart from using Batman to mock the Metropolitan Police Department, Kogoro has no other way to increase his exposure.

You can't go to the scene of the murder wearing a battle armor to reason. I'm afraid he was arrested by a group of policemen as soon as he appeared on the scene.Then call Kogoro again and ask for support.

Conan smiled slightly. He was sure that the Batman who always appeared in the middle of the night for the past half month must be Kogoro.

"Hey, isn't that Chaki Shintaro and Nakamori Ginzo, it seems that the journey will not be lonely."

"That can't be helped. Didn't Kidd leave a notice letter on the 1st? Dad, are you really confident in catching that Kaitou Kidd?"

"Don't worry, as long as he shows up, I'll go up and go straight to heaven and earth, and say I'll break two of his ribs, but I won't break one."

"That's right, sister Xiaolan. After the ship sets off, it will take three hours to arrive at Tokyo Port. Within three hours, Kidd will be trapped on the ship and unable to leave. With uncle's strength, catch It was too easy to catch him."

"That's right, Conan still understands me."

The ship quickly sailed towards the sea in the sunset, and more than 500 celebrities from all walks of life were invited into the restaurant by the waiters.Because today is still the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki Foundation, Shiro Suzuki will give a speech later.

In the restaurant, Suzuki Shiro stood on the podium, giving speeches and speeches.

Just started, Sonoko's mother Tomoko Suzuki came.Standing beside Shiro Suzuki, she said with a smile on her face, "Everyone, before enjoying this banquet, I want to tell you an idea I thought of."

Tomoko Suzuki held up a small red box and said: "When I boarded the ship, I gave this small box to every guest present, please open it now."

It turned out that there was also a black pearl in the small box, which was almost exactly the same size and appearance as the one Kogoro had seen in the museum before.

But Kogoro guessed that among the 500-odd pearls, the real dark star should be on Suzuki Tomoko.Otherwise, if you really gave it to outsiders casually, it would be unjustifiable.

The guests pinned the pearls to their chests one after another. Some of them held them with their hands, but Kogoro still found that some of them wrapped them in handkerchiefs.

Kogoro squatted down and asked softly, "Conan, why do some people wrap pearls in handkerchiefs?"

Pearls, handkerchiefs?
Conan thought of Huadian in an instant, and he whispered: "Mr. Suzuki said that the dark stars were his grandfather and started to collect them. After decades, the dark stars should also become dim. So in fact, you can tell the true from the false at a glance. .”

Kogoro took out the box in his pocket, the black pearls in it really looked like they had been polished and waxed, they were not bright enough.

"There is a set, Conan. So, the one on Mrs. Suzuki's chest must be real."

Conan looked at Tomoko Suzuki and nodded.

"dad."

Xiaolan suddenly said anxiously: "Father, Yuanzi talked to her family just now, and it turns out that her father is still at home. That Mr. Suzuki just now is totally fake."

"What?"

Kogoro said with some annoyance: "If there weren't so many celebrities gathering, it would be much easier to catch Kidd if you brought Wangcai."

Conan hurriedly asked an old man beside him: "Uncle, where was Chairman Suzuki just now?"

"Let's go to the bathroom."

Kogoro could only get close to Tomoko Suzuki, and whispered: "Mrs. Suzuki, the one who spoke on the podium just now was Kaitou Kidd, so be careful next time. I don't think you want that pearl on your body to be stolen."

Tomoko Suzuki was startled suddenly, and then nodded calmly.

"Don't worry ma'am, I'll keep an eye on it."

"Then leave it to Detective Maori."

The news was suppressed and caused no commotion.

"By the way, Conan, you go and notify the police and see if you can find some clues."

"it is good."

Conan ran away graciously. He was very happy to meet such an opponent.

"Oh? Mr. Maori, long time no see."

Kogoro smirked, he couldn't remember who the other party was.

"Haha, I'm Shoji Hatakemoto, thanks to your help last time."

"Oh, it's Brother Xianger, how are you doing recently?"

Kogoro didn't expect to meet acquaintances on this boat.

"I'm fine. I came here to thank Mrs. Suzuki. In fact, thanks to the strong support of the Suzuki consortium, my store was able to expand. Speaking of which, I am responsible for all the dishes on this ship."

Kogoro saw Sonoko and her brother-in-law Tomizawa Yuzo approaching, and asked with some doubts: "Sonoko, isn't Xiaolan with you?"

"I think she got lost somewhere. I saw her go to the bathroom just now."

Just as she was talking, Xiaolan came over: "Sorry, I went to the restroom just now."

Xiao Wulang frowned, he always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Lan, but he couldn't put it into words.It seems to be walking posture and posture!
Xiaolan is a master of karate, and her walking posture is different from others. Kogoro, who is a master of fighting, instantly sees that Xiaolan is not his daughter, so it can only be Kaitou Kidd!
Kogoro stared at Xiaolan, took a step forward, and grabbed her arm.

Sure enough, the texture of the skin is also different.

"Kidd, where is my daughter Xiaolan?"

Kogoro's voice was not loud, so Xiaolan hugged Kogoro's arm without any hassle, and whispered, "What are you talking about, Dad?"

Xiao Goro suddenly laughed: "What did you call me?"

"Dad? What's the matter?"

"I didn't hear clearly, what did you call me?"

Kidd thought for a while, Xiaolan usually called it that way.Without knowing why, he said again: "Dad, what exactly are you trying to say?"
