Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Karasuma Renye nodded slightly, and then turned to talk about another thing:

"This time I brought back a rare ruby ​​from abroad, called the Guide of Destiny.

I asked the master craftsman to make it into a collar button, and you can wear it at the Suzuki family's banquet the day after tomorrow. "

"Yes, sir."

Hearing Karasuma Sonobu's address, Karasuma Renye showed a trace of dissatisfaction on her face and immediately said:

"By the way, it's time to change your title. Your surname is Karasuma now. You are my adopted son and the future heir of the Karasuma Consortium. Why do you still call me sir?"

"Yes, father."

Karasuma Sonobu's lowered eyes flashed slightly and he responded softly.

The study exchange between the fake father and son lasted about twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later, Karasuma Sonobu left the study with a delicate and compact mahogany box in one hand.

Walking along the quiet corridor, servants bowed to him along the way.

Back in the room, Karasuma Sonobu opened the mahogany box, and a brilliant ruby ​​collar button came into view.

A guide from fate? This name is similar to the name of the ruby ​​given to the legendary magician Philippe by the Queen of Taos a few years ago.

However, that gift of fate brought Philip a not-so-good death ending, and he didn’t know what kind of future this guidance of fate would give him.

Karasuma Sonobu picked up the ruby ​​collar button, raised it to his eyes, looked at it carefully and then threw it back into the box.

The Suzuki family's Spring Sakura Dinner was an appreciation banquet specially held for a sapphire called the Brilliant Star at the Spring Sakura Club owned by the Suzuki Foundation.

The person who came up with this gimmick was naturally Suzuki Jiroyoshi, who was always keen on competing against Kaitou Kidd.

The reason why Karasuma Renya agreed to this invitation was largely because she had always had a common goal with the organization, but the method of pursuing it was more incredible than the organization. She used animal names as the codenames of her organization members, and was jokingly called by her peers in the other world. The mysterious organization of the zoo.

Also pursuing immortality, the Crow Legion, led by Renya Karasuma, has been pursuing the path of scientism and rushing towards drug research and development experiments forever.

The zoo next door followed the path of exploration of fairy tales and legends, and it also plunged into it persistently for decades.

When Karasuma Sonobu learned that the way for the zoo organization to achieve immortality was to find a gem called Pandora, he suddenly felt that this world was particularly dreamy for a moment.

In this world, there are so many people who believe in a fairy tale and are so crazy about it.

Renye Karasuma has always been dissatisfied with the method of achieving immortality in the zoo next door. After all, at this moment, his pursuit has been half achieved.

By following the path of scientism, he has now successfully recovered from his old age to the appearance and posture of his middle age.

Renya Karasuma, who has personally experienced half of this success, firmly believes that one day, his research team will bring him a potion that can return him to his twenty-year-old youth.

Since Renye Karasuma doesn't like the behavior of the zoo organization, why is he suddenly so interested in it this time? The reason cannot be that he is suddenly interested in the Pandora gem that the organization next door is looking for.

Actually, the reason is very simple.

A month ago, Karasuma Renye stayed in this old house, and a sapphire necklace that was protected by many mechanisms was stolen. Although the guard was not dead, he changed from a normal person to a madman.

The stolen sapphire necklace was not a rare treasure, and it was not at the forefront of the Karasuma family's collection.

But for Karasuma Renye, that sapphire necklace has extremely important meaning in his heart.

It was the dowry that Renye Karasuma's mother brought from her natal family when she married into the Karasuma family. It was Mrs. Karasuma's favorite piece of jewelry before her death.

Later, after Mrs. Karasuma passed away, this sapphire necklace was sealed in the old house by Renye Karasuma together with other relics left by Mrs. Karasuma, and a separate collection room was opened for this purpose. .

A team of people was also specially arranged for daily care and maintenance.

However, no matter how well arranged Karasuma Renye was, he never imagined that the people from the zoo organization next door would be so bold as to steal the gems on his head, and also steal his mother's favorite item during her lifetime. That sapphire necklace.

As for why it was quickly locked, it was the zoo. Hehe, he had the courage to take action on the neon rich man’s gem, and he could turn six determined normal people into crazy people in a short period of time. In addition to looking for Pandora to find the crazy one No one in the zoo has the courage and strength.

The reason why Karasuma Renye decided to attend the Spring Cherry Blossom Dinner held by the Suzuki family was because the easiest way to find the members of the zoo's gang who were more secretive than crows was to follow Kaitou Kidd.

The internationally renowned thief, Kaitou Kidd, has always been fond of stealing all kinds of gems.

According to the investigation by members of the intelligence team organized in Neon, the zoo, which is obsessed with searching for Pandora, has always sent people to follow Kaitou Kidd in order to reap the benefits, and only waits for the other party to steal the legendary Pandora gem. Then he took action to snatch it.

In the past year or so, a large part of Yuexia Magician's gorgeous performances have been fueled by the zoo.

A lot of information about gems came to Kaitou Kidd through the zoo's news channels.

In fact, from the conversation in the study just now, Karasuma Sonobu could easily conclude that Karasuma Renye would attend the Suzuki Foundation's Spring Sakura Dinner for two reasons.

The first is to take this opportunity to push him to the forefront and confirm his identity as the heir to the Karasuma Consortium.

This will not only stabilize the uneasy situation within the Karasuma Foundation that Karasuma Renye has not established as a successor, but also inform the outside world that the inheritance of the Karasuma Foundation is orderly and stabilize the confidence of the people and the stock market.

Secondly, it is naturally because the Suzuki family has used rare gems as bait this time and has publicly declared war on Kaitou Kidd in newspapers and media. According to past practice, Kaitou Kidd will definitely show up as requested. At that time, as long as he follows Kaitou Kidd , then you will definitely be able to find people from the zoo.

The ruby ​​collar button that Karasuma Renya gave to Karasuma Sonobu was used as a double insurance to attract the attention of Kaito Kidd, so as to more accurately uncover the zoo hidden behind Kaitou Kidd.

Of course, as a condition of the deal, Karasuma Renye will no longer restrict Karasuma Sonobu's free activities in Neon territory.

Karasuma Sonobu needs to cooperate with the manpower sent by the organization at the dinner party the day after tomorrow to capture the people in the zoo.

However, the previous prohibition still exists.

Karasuma Sonobu had no objections to this, and he readily agreed to the deal.

After closing the box with the ruby ​​collar button, Karasuma Sonobu stretched out a finger and pushed the box to the ground.

Later, before the Haru Sakura Dinner of the Suzuki Foundation, he didn't even look at the box.

Kudo's House in Yoneka Town

Conan was looking at the headlines on today's newspaper, which reported that Suzuki Jirokichi once again invited Kaito Kid to fight.

Tomorrow night, March 23rd at 8pm.

The Suzuki Foundation will hold a top-notch feast on the fifth floor of the newly opened Spring Sakura Club, and has spent a huge sum of money to purchase a rare sapphire called the Brilliant Star from a foreign collector as the finale of the appreciation dinner. Heavy treasure.

Putting down the newspaper, Conan turned to look at Kuroba Kaito who was spinning coins flexibly on one side and asked:

"Kaitou Kidd, you wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Why haven't I seen your notice letter yet?"

Kuroba Kaito stopped what he was doing and laughed:

"Of course, that old man Suzuki should have received the notice letter by now."

Something was wrong. Conan looked at Kuroba Kaito suspiciously. You must know that Kaito Kidd always sends out notice letters at least two days in advance, but this time it was delayed by one day.

"It's just a little more preparation."

Kuroba Kaito's expression remained unchanged. He responded to Conan's question naturally, and then talked about a topic that interested Conan:

"When I went to deliver the notice letter, I heard old man Suzuki calling. It is said that the leader of the Karasuma Consortium will bring his heir to the dinner this time."

Conan was shocked by the news and immediately jumped up from the sofa:

"Are you sure that Renye Karasuma, the leader of the Karasuma Consortium, will show up?"

Kuroba Kaito knew the reason for Conan's shock and nodded:

"That's right, that's what old man Suzuki said: Karasuma Renye has hardly appeared outside in recent years. This time, he probably wanted to pave the way for his adopted son and officially announce to the circle that he has an heir."

Moreover, a dark light quickly flashed in Kuroba Kaito's eyes. According to the news recently received by Grandpa Terai, Karasuma Renya specially purchased a rare ruby ​​for his adopted son because he returned to the country this time, called the Guide of Destiny.

Tomorrow night at the Suzuki Foundation's dinner, the heir will most likely attend wearing that gemstone.

At that time, if the other party really attends wearing that destiny guide, then he can get two gems at once tomorrow night.

Conan ignored this and jumped off the sofa, pacing while thinking about how he could get closer and find out about the mysterious heir to the Karasuma Consortium tomorrow night.

At first, Conan thought that the so-called heir was just a smoke bomb set off by Karasuma Renye. However, Karasuma Renye, who had not been seen for many years, was actually willing to attend the Suzuki family dinner for the sake of the heir. This at least proved that the heir was in Karasuma. There is a certain weight in Lian Ye's heart.

Conan was filled with excitement at the thought of meeting Renya Karasuma, who was most likely the leader behind the black organization, tomorrow night.

Therefore, he failed to notice the daring plan of Kai Kuroba next to him to attack the heir of Renya Karasuma tomorrow night.

evening,

When she heard that Conan actually planned to go to the Spring Sakura Dinner held at Suzuki's house tomorrow to get up close and personal with Renya Karasuma and his mysterious heir, Haibara Ai could not wait to open Conan's head. She wanted to see how much was inside. How brave he is, he actually dares to dance in front of Renya Karasuma, who is suspected to be the leader of the black organization.

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If the other party notices something is wrong, they will hit the muzzle of the gun themselves.

Faced with Haiyuan Ai's anger, Conan understood but he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

"Renya Karasuma hasn't appeared outside in recent years. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we don't know when we will have such an opportunity again. Don't worry, I won't rush into it directly. "

Anyway, when he went to Berry Country this time, he secretly disguised his identity as Edogawa Conan with his mother Kudo Yukiko as the illegitimate son of Kudo Yusaku.

Even if something is wrong, it can be said that his intelligence was learned from Kudo Yusaku and Mori Kogoro. His appearance is because he is the illegitimate son of Kudo Yusaku, and naturally he is closely related to Kudo Arata, who was working on a case but died young. One looks very similar.

Edogawa Conan, who has had two years of experience pretending to be a child, said that now he has a full BAFF. As long as he does not see him transform from a child into an adult Kudo Shinichi, he will use the attitude of a naughty child. Dispel all the other party’s doubts.

"Then I'll go with you."

Seeing that she couldn't stop Conan's idea, Haibara Ai decided to go with him to tomorrow's spring cherry dinner.

Now Conan was worried. Regarding Conan's double standards, Haiyuan Ai hugged his chest and snorted softly:

"There is no need to worry about me so much. The FBI has returned from Berry Country. He will protect me. Moreover, I have feelings for the members of the organization. This is currently the fastest way to identify whether the other party is a member of the organization.

Of course, I don't guarantee accuracy.

Besides, I am also very interested in the sapphire named Brilliant Star. "

There was really no way to confirm at a glance whether Renye Karasuma was the leader of the black organization. Conan choked up at the reasons Haibara Ai listed, and then asked:

"Then what identity does Mr. Akai plan to use to sneak in?"

After all, it was a dinner held by a top consortium, and the attendees were naturally either rich or noble. He was specially invited by Suzuki Jirokichi as Kid's nemesis. Xiaolan and Haibara could go in together as Sonoko's friends and dragsters. Then Akai Shuichi How to get in?

After all, the friend Sonoko knew was Okiya Subaru, not the current photographer Hahide Ryoichi.

"You also said you were sneaking in. Of course he has his own methods."

Haibara Ai didn't mention it much. When Conan thought about what the FBI was good at, he immediately guessed it. He decided to think carefully about how to contact the mysterious heir of the Karasuma Consortium tomorrow.

Maori Detective Agency,

Mouri Kogoro also heard his daughter mention that he was going to attend the spring cherry dinner held by the Suzuki family tomorrow night. He didn't care much at first when he heard the name Karasuma Foundation, he suddenly put down the beer can in his hand and came out. The voice asked:

"At that dinner, Karasuma Renye, the leader of the Karasuma Consortium, will also be attending?"

Mao Lilan nodded, Mao Li Kogoro's eyes flickered, and then asked casually:

"Didn't you hear that the Karasuma family members have not appeared in public for many years?"

"Yes, from what Sonoko said, I guess I want to bring the heir out this time for everyone to see him, so as to pave the way for inheriting the Karasuma Consortium in the future."

Maori Lan answered while cleaning the living room. After receiving the reply, Maori Kogoro stopped talking, but his eyes became much deeper.

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow. I also want to meet the big shots from the top neon consortiums. Maybe I can get some big business."

Mouri Kogoro said excitedly.

"Hey, Dad, didn't you plan to go to Nagoya to visit old friends tomorrow?"

Maori Lan turned around and asked in confusion. Maori Kogoro waved his hands and said disapprovingly:

"Oh, I just checked the weather forecast. It will rain heavily in Nagoya for several days starting tonight. I will go there when the weather gets better."

Oh

After hearing the reason, Mao Lilan turned around and cleaned up again. She had no doubts about the excuse given by Mouri Kogoro, but was a little worried.

It seems that Dad has not received any important commissions recently and has become anxious.

Ever since she learned that Conan was behind the so-called sleeping detective and was using Mouri Kogoro's identity to solve the case, Mao Lilan had been worried that one day her father would find out that he couldn't solve the case at all. Behind the scenes, Conan used an anesthesia needle to stun him and pretend to be The fact that he solved the case.

So with the help of Conan, Xiao Ai and Sera, they first persuaded Kogoro Mouri to go to the temple to ask for a fortune on the grounds that they had bad luck this year, and then secretly exchanged the magic tricks learned from Kuroba Kaito for Mouri. The fortune-telling lottery that Kogoro shook out.

Immediately afterwards, he bribed the monk who interpreted the lotus and asked him to tell Mouri Kogoro when he was interpreting the lotus. In order to avoid the bad luck in the next five years, he, Mouri Kogoro, needs to put aside his ambition for fame and fortune, and then he must personally visit at least 20 people. Relatives and friends whose address must be outside of Yoneka Town.

Through meeting and communicating, you can draw on the power of good fortune from them, so as to ensure that you and your loved ones will not be affected by bad luck in the next five years and will be healthy and smooth.

Then, Kogoro Mouri, who was waiting for the master's interpretation, hurriedly flipped through his address book while inquiring about the current addresses and contact information of his friends at the same time. He followed the master's instructions to visit friends to gain luck, and temporarily closed the detective agency.

Conan, who stayed here to look after the house, intercepted and modified the computer page of the Maori Detective Agency for external orders, and rejected various murder suspense case commissions for various reasons, leaving only some to find cats and dogs or to find evidence of derailment. This kind of ninth-rate commission successfully consumed Kogoro Mouri's low enthusiasm for detectives.

As a result, in the past six months, the name of the sleeping famous detective Mouri Kogoro has gradually become less famous, replaced by the rise of other detectives.

However, what Conan and others didn't know was that Kogoro Mori had known all these actions for a long time, but he knew that the reason why these children did this was to keep him away from danger, so he accepted it.

京都

The head of the Ooka family, who also received an invitation from the Suzuki family, called his daughter Ooka Momiji and informed her to accompany him to attend the spring cherry blossom dinner held by the Suzuki family tomorrow.

Although he was not happy that the Suzuki Consortium took the lead and successfully invited Karasuma Renya, the head of the Ooka family looked at his daughter in front of him and thought:

Every time the Suzuki family used gems as a gimmick, and every time they ended up being stolen by Kaitou Kid, there must be no exception this time.

He was just waiting to see the Suzuki family lose their face in front of Karasuma Renye.

Ah!
