The first rule for a magician is to always keep a poker face.

Second, whether facing the audience or fighting, you must not be arrogant and underestimate the enemy.

Third, in the last scene, you must concentrate and use all your skills, but don’t forget to maintain elegance and grace.

——Reminder from Kuroba Toichi (Kaito’s father)

***

Nakamori Aoko's house.

"Kaito——"

"It's time to eat, Kaito—"

After shouting at the window several times but still hearing no response from Kuroba Kaito, Aoko Nakamori returned to her room dejectedly and opened her laptop.

After a few operations, the video call was connected.

"Oh, it's Qingzi, why do you look so sad?"

Aoko Nakamori supported her chin and looked at the screen, her eyes drooping. After sighing, she finally chose to ask out loud all the doubts in her heart.

"QAQ, Aunt Chikage, I want to ask what Kaito has been busy with recently? When I see him at school, he looks distracted and has no appetite. He always avoids me when he sees me. I can't call him for several days... Does he... Does he hate me and find me annoying? And then he cut off ties with my friends?"

"Well, I don't know. You two are childhood sweethearts. How could you possibly break off your relationship? Maybe he has something important to do."

Hei Yu Qianying spoke slowly, glancing guiltily under his red sunglasses, and instantly recalled the phone call from his son a few days ago.

At that time, Kuroba Kaito was holding an ice rose in his hand, and asked with a confused expression on his face: "Mom, do you think there are gods in this world? Gods who can control ice and snow?"

How did I answer that time? Hei Yu Qianying touched his chin.

It seems like: "I have only seen the god named love, and then I kissed your father and sealed the deal~"

After that, she just kept reminiscing about her beautiful love story with Kuroba Toichi, but her son hung up the phone on her.

He must be annoyed or just shy.

So, this means... my son seems to have come to his senses? And the object is still the person who sent the ice rose?

Now, Qingzi came over to ask if they had made any progress?

Heiyu Qianying's curiosity was instantly ignited. He raised his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and spoke in an unfathomable manner.

"Aoko, is there any festival coming up soon? He might be planning a secret gift~"

"Holiday?" Nakamori Aoko leaned forward. "What holiday? There shouldn't be any holidays, except Christmas, and in 10 days it's New Year's Eve." (New Year's Eve, also known as the first month of the lunar calendar, is the Spring Festival in Japan.)

Hei Yu Qianying felt that her warning was already very obvious, so she immediately found an excuse to hang up the phone.

"Oh, I see. Then I don't know either. Now that you've reminded me, I have to discuss the matter of returning to China with Daoyi. I'll hang up now. Bye~"

"Hey, Aunt Qianying? I haven't solved my problem yet!"

Aoko Nakamori only had time to shout out this sentence before the video was hung up. Looking at the computer wallpaper, she folded her hands helplessly and lay on the table.

"There's only one Christmas left in the holidays... Is Kaito preparing something for this Christmas?"

"It's time for dinner, Aoko!" Nakamori Ginzo's voice came from outside the door.

"Coming, Dad."

Nakamori Aoko muttered something, then obediently got up and walked out of the room.

……

After feeding the pigeons in the small square, Jiang Chuankami carried the cat back to his residence.

Time soon came to six o'clock in the evening.

In response to the warning letter sent by Kaito Kid, Mr. Jiro Suzuki, an advisor to the Suzuki Group, once again threatened in front of the news media that he would capture Kaito Kid alive.

Moreover, the event this time was quite different from usual ones, even extremely brilliant.

Because tonight's gem appreciation conference is jointly organized by Japan's three top financial groups, namely the Suzuki Group, the Atobe Group, and the Akashi Group.

The dinner will be at 7 o'clock tonight, and the location will be on the top floor of a twin-tower skyscraper in the new Shinjuku district, exactly the same place where Dazai Osamu jumped off the building last time.

Although the time was set at 7pm, with the support of news media and Kaito Kid's trailer, the popularity of this event was unprecedented. Before 5pm, most of the celebrities from the Chamber of Commerce had arrived one after another.

Jiang Chuan Shang looked at all the news on his mobile phone and did not rush there. Instead, he picked out a pair of cufflinks and put them on again, tied his collar, and matched it with a tie.

It is basic courtesy for men to wear a suit and tie and keep their trouser legs spotless when attending a banquet, so as not to lose face in front of others.

After doing all this, Jiang Chuan Shang began to read the news carefully and got into his subordinates' car.

The news had already stated that the gem that the Suzuki Group was going to display was the "Ice Blue Heart", and that was also the target of Kaito Kid. As for the other two major groups, they did not mention a single word about the precious treasures that they were going to display, but instead claimed that they would reveal the answer at the banquet.

As the saying goes, the more mysterious something is, the more eye-catching it is.

Obviously, the two major financial groups probably saw this point and deliberately whetted everyone's appetite in order to increase the appeal and topicality of this event.

Moreover, if we put aside for the moment the huge gimmick created by these three big conglomerates, the extremely high popularity and fame of Kaito Kid himself is enough to make this feast the focus of everyone's attention.

After all, Kaito Kidd has stolen countless treasures so far. No matter how tight the defenses around the gems are, or how strict the security is, he can always steal them as agreed and has never failed.

What's more, the Suzuki Group has already issued a challenge to Kaito Kid, so tonight's dinner will definitely be very interesting.

How could you not go?

Jiang Chuan Shang put down his phone and quietly watched the neon lights flashing in the night outside.

In addition, you should know that this twin-tower skyscraper is an administrative office, and the floors above the 45th floor have never been open to the public. The last time Jiangchuan entered was under the leadership of Dazai Osamu, and he entered the top floor through the security passage. Now, if you want to enter, you must show an invitation letter.

There is one on Jiangchuan.

This invitation letter was not only sent by the zoo represented by Jiang Chuan Shang, but also by other sectors of society.

For example, the Karasuma Organization, the Armed Detective Agency, and the Port Mafia, the chaebols are always connected to both the black and white worlds.

It is a very certain fact that the Armed Detective Agency's president, Fukuzawa Yukichi, should have brought people here.

So, who will the other two organizations send?

Jiang Chuan Shang was very curious.

Especially for the winery, the winery is almost in internal strife, otherwise Vermouth would not have called today.

Her organization lacks a strong leader, so the people who will attend the party are uncertain, and whoever comes will indicate who controls more power in the organization.

Will Gin come? Or...it will still be Vermouth.

[Be careful of Shura Field.] The system reminded sincerely.

[No, don't worry.]
