Conan: I'm teasing Conan in Mingke

Maori Kogoro frowned seriously and said, "I wonder if she was captured by that Phantom Thief No. 1412?"

"He's not number 1412, his name is Kaito Kidd! Please don't make the mistake again!"

When Ginzo Nakamori heard Kogoro Mori calling Kid inexplicably, he became angry. He shouted at Kogoro Mori angrily and turned and walked away.

Maori Kogoro took two steps back in fear and whispered, "Who is he?"

"Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division, Ginzo Nakamori. Most cases involving Kaito Kid are under his jurisdiction, Mr. Mori." Kurokawa Keisawa answered the question with a smile.

"To be honest, he is the hope of our family just like you. He is one of the knights we can trust to protect the Dark Star of our Suzuki family." Suzuki Tomoko also interjected.

"But then again, Madam, all the 500 or so guests attending the banquet today are wearing the main attraction of today, the black pearl.

And except for one of them, all the others are well-made counterfeits.”

Maori Kogoro spread his hands helplessly, looking a little embarrassed: "If you don't tell me which one is the real one, how can I protect it?"

“No matter how well it is made, it is still a counterfeit. If you look closely, you will find some differences.

Some of the pearls here are not as dazzling as the one I am wearing," Suzuki Tomoko pointed at the pearl she was wearing, "and some are as dazzling as the one you are wearing, but they are all failures."

"But you can't ask me to confirm with these people one by one, right?"

"Then I'll tell you a hint," Suzuki Tomoko smiled confidently, "This dark star bewitched my grandfather sixty years ago.

Mainly because of the peacock green luster it retains, I have given it to the most suitable person."

Leave it to the man who looks as deceptive as the warm spring sun, but is like a shark lurking just beneath the surface.

"The only people suitable to wear the real thing should be women." Kogoro Mouri didn't understand and made a random guess.

"Oh, you are also very suitable, Mr. Maori." Suzuki Tomoko's tone was so light that it was difficult to hear the deep meaning, and she was teasing casually.

After that, other guests came to talk to Kogoro Mouri, including some people related to the murder cases he had been involved in.

Kurokawa Keizawa didn't bother him and walked to the table at the side, took a glass of red wine and started sipping it.

When he was young in his previous life, he had learned some so-called magic from some old Taoist priests. They said that they were used to communicate with the spirits of heaven, earth and all things for his own benefit.

He couldn't remember what they said, but he understood a little bit of the magic.

In this world, perhaps she could also be called a magician like Koizumi Akako.

But he didn't like using magic. It was already boring to have no opponents in this world.

And using magic to further reduce the fun...

That didn’t fit his aesthetic.

What he prefers is the contest of wits, the competition of strategies, and the pleasure of laying out the chessboard step by step and ultimately winning with clever means.

In his opinion, that is the real challenge and the way he finds fun in this long life.

Therefore, even Karasuma Renya didn't know that he could perform magic.

But there are exceptions...

Since ancient times, magic and conjuration have been two extreme opposites. Magicians and magicians have always been each other's natural enemies and have been in a state of hostility.

For example, Koizumi Akako and Kidd, although Kidd himself did not realize it.

But the two of them are indeed like arch-enemies.

If it were the old him, he might not be interested in thieves.

But the reason why he was interested in Kaito Kid's affairs this time was actually because of Kuroba Kaito's father, Kuroba Toichi.

About thirty years ago, I disguised myself as a highly skilled magician in order to expand the strength of my organization.

In order to avoid unnecessary learning of boring magic knowledge, he used some magic to deceive many people, and the young Hei Yu Daoyi was naturally fooled.

The eleven-year-old Hei Yu Daoyi came to him specifically and wanted to become his disciple.

He certainly had no intention of accepting any disciples.

But when he saw the admiring look on Heiyu Daoyi's innocent face, he didn't know why he couldn't say no.

How should I put it? That innocent face reminded him of memories from long, long ago...

That simple fool who can give his true heart to anyone.

That voice is always full of energy, the fool who never gets discouraged even after being rejected repeatedly.

In the end, he compromised and accepted a disciple without telling Karasuma Renya.

In order to prevent that person from noticing the existence of this child, he ordered Hei Yu Daoyi not to advertise that he was his apprentice, and the place of teaching would be changed almost every time.

Although Kuroba Toichi didn't understand what it meant at that time, he still obeyed obediently.

However, since he has become his apprentice, given Kurokawa Keisawa's personality, it is certainly impossible for him to teach honestly.

He used various magic tricks that he had learned in his previous life to demonstrate to Heiyu Daoyi in a serious manner, and then let him slowly comprehend them by himself. He watched the child who was thinking hard and smiled secretly.

Hei Yu Daoyi would always be confused by him.

But what is surprising is that this kind of teaching is unexpectedly effective. Every time, Kuroba Toichi can use magic techniques to restore his magic.

As a result, Kurokawa Keisawa abandoned his previous understanding and gained a new perspective on magic.

With such "teaching" again and again, Kuroba Toichi has already gained great fame in the magic world.

Kurokawa Keisawa also knew that if this continued there would be nothing left to teach except how to kill.

It happened that at that time, Karasuma Renya's order came, asking him to give up this identity.

He left, and like every time he disappeared he faked his own death. That year the cause of death was a car accident and falling off a cliff.

If it were the same as in the past, he might have arranged for the magic trick to fail, resulting in spontaneous combustion, but he felt that doing so would have an impact on the child's psychology.

In the past few years, he would occasionally hear news about Kuroba Toichi. He heard that he was doing very well in the magic world, which made his nominal teacher very pleased.

And eight years ago, when he learned that Hei Yu Daoyi died from magic, he was really surprised for a long time.

There was even a moment when he reflected on whether his decision to accept a disciple was correct.

It is true that he is cold-blooded, and he himself knows that sometimes he can be so ruthless that even Gin would feel disgusted by him.

But it feels like a treasured toy is taken out and wantonly destroyed by someone else.

A little bit unhappy.
