Karasuma Kaoru took a closer look at Karasuma Kaoru's expression, and suddenly felt puzzled.
Xiao Liu and Brian haven't developed a relationship between men and women yet.
If there were any signs of that, Xiao Liu's reaction should be jealous and sulking, not gloating like watching a drama like he is now, like hurting a friend.
It is considered that Brian has a sense of propriety and did not deliberately seduce Xiao Liu.
Karasuma Kato looked at Toru Amuro's scrutiny, and finally relaxed two points.
Karasuma Kaoru led Karasuma Kaoru to the front, Amuro Toru and Okiya Subaru followed silently.
Kaoru Karasuma just learned that his parent's official had really studied in Niu Lang's shop, and became the top card, and he couldn't control his desire to gossip.
"Third cousin, what was Mr. Amuro like when he was charming? I really want to know!" Karasuma Kaoru whispered next to Karasuma Yutao.
Karasuma Momo tilted her head and glanced at Karasuma Kaoru: "You want to know?"
"Yeah!" Karasuma nodded again and again.
Karasuma Yutao thought for a while: "Actually, I don't have a deep impression. After all, he is not my favorite type. Apart from being the top card and being very sweet-talking, I can't seem to remember anything else. But I can Just ask my little sister, it’s been more than five years, and she still has to mention Brian every now and then, and I remember she still has a lot of videos.”
"Video!" Kaoru Karasuma's eyes lit up again, "Third Cousin, can you—"
Karasuma Kaoru poked Karasuma Kaoru's forehead amusedly: "Understood, I will remember to ask her for the video for you."
Although Kaoru Karasuma deliberately lowered his voice, Toru Amuro and Subaru Okiya followed behind them, with good hearing, how could they not hear what they were talking about.
Okiya Subaru glanced at Toru Amuro lightly.
Receiving Okiya Subaru's silent ridicule, Toru Amuro's forehead jumped, and the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.
Matsuda Zhenpingfei snickered beside him: "Hahaha! You deserve it!"
Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin: "I really want to see that video soon."
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of something: "If it was five years ago, I remember that Ley seemed to be taken away by Belmode."
When Karasuma heard Zhu Fu Jingguang's words, he raised his eyebrows.
oh?Akai Shuichi also went?
Thinking of Shuichi Akai following behind, Kaoru Karasuma was a little ready to move.
She resumed her normal volume, and began to chat with her cousin: "Third cousin, it's been more than five years since you and your friend, do you still remember what happened in Charm? Did something happen that affected you?" something profound?"
Karasuma Yumo: "I can't say anything special happened, it's just that the quality of the cowherds that month was particularly high, and the top players who had always been popular were squeezed to fourth place."
Kaoru Karasuma exaggeratedly covered her mouth and asked, "Who were the top 3 that month?"
"top1 is Brad, I won't say more; top2 is a weak and sexy little brother, I remember his name is Angel; top3's appearance and personality are the most suitable for me."
Karasuma Momo paused for a moment, then continued.
"His name is Allen, and his name sounds like a gentle scum with gold-rimmed glasses, but he is actually cool and wild, with cold dark green pupils like a wolf, eight-pack abs, and a dog waist, and he always wears his arms It's very tasty to talk dirty with a cold, expressionless face."
"Oh~" Kaoru Karasuma said in a meaningful tone, "It sounds quite interesting."
This time it was Toru Amuro's turn to look at Subaru Okiya with raised eyebrows.
Okiya Subaru's face was calm and unwavering - at least on the surface, as if the person the other party was talking about was not him.
Karasuma Kaoru and Karasuma Momo chatted like this, all the way up from the underground parking lot as an elevator, through a gorgeous corridor, and came to the main entrance of the venue.
Two magnificent diamond-encrusted and gold-plated doors opened towards the inside.
Four waiters in white shirts and black vests with greasy hair stood on both sides of the door. After checking the invitation letter with a machine, they bowed to the guests present: "Hello, this way please."
The layout of this scene in the venue is more luxurious and rich.
The tall European-style circular dome is magnificent, the large crystal lamps hanging down are shining dazzlingly, and the walls are either painted with colorful murals or decorated with exquisite and eye-catching ornaments.
The venue has three floors.
The entire lobby on the first floor presents an oval shape, with long tables and seats arranged in an orderly manner around the venue, leaving a large free area in the middle for guests to walk around and talk.
The second floor is the main dining area, where you can taste all kinds of delicacies from various countries.
The third floor is a private room.
Only those who have reached a certain standard of status can have a private room on the third floor, which can be regarded as a disguised status symbol.
If it was placed 20 years ago, Karasuma Kaoru's house might not be qualified to go to the third floor, because at that time their house was just one of the inconspicuous side branches.
But it is different now.
Counting from Karasuma Renye as the first generation, the fourth generation of Karasuma Kaoru's grandfather has a total of 31 people.
Kaoru Karasuma's grandfather is 76 years old this year. With the advantage of his young age and good health, he successfully survived more than a dozen older brothers. In addition, he and his juniors have developed well. He was selected as the Karasuma family a few years ago. One of the "Top Ten Elders".
What's more worth mentioning is Kaoru Karasuma's father, who is now the Chief Cabinet Secretary, in charge of the affairs of the Cabinet Cabinet and directly assists the Prime Minister in his work.In the Karasuma family, which is mainly engaged in business, it is extremely rare for Karasuma Kaoru's father to be able to rise to this position on his own. He is the only one out of the Karasuma Group since its establishment 100 years ago.
As a result, the status of Karasuma Kaoru's family has risen even higher in the entire family.
Kaoru Karasuma walked up to the third floor holding Karasuma Momo's hand.
There are already a lot of people sitting in the box, but because the box is so big, it doesn't look crowded.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, great aunt, aunt, uncle, uncle, father, mother, big brother, second cousin, fourth brother, fifth cousin, little cousin! We are late!"
"Xiaosan and Xiaoliu are here, come and sit with grandpa." Kaoru Karasuma's grandfather is a smiling and kind old man, and he looks at Toru Amuro and Subaru Okiya who are following behind him, "The two juniors behind are... "
"I'm meeting you for the first time. My name is Toru Amuro. I'm a private detective." Toru Amuro stepped forward with a decent and friendly smile on his face. Kaoru took me for a tour, it was really rude."
Kaoru Karasuma took advantage of the situation and reached out to hold Toru Amuro's hand: "Mr. Amuro is my good friend, thanks to his reasoning last time, he helped me a lot."
Kaoru Karasuma told a half-truth about how she and Amuro got acquainted.
Compared with Karasuma Kaoru's detailed introduction, Karasuma Momo is much simpler, shrugging casually: "Okiya Subaru, my male partner this week."
Everyone laughed knowingly after hearing this, and didn't pay too much attention to Okiya Subaru, but just asked Amuro Toru.
There are three girls in their family, which are simply three extremes.
Kaoru Karasuma's third cousin can't help but change her boyfriend every week, and her fifth cousin gets married with her childhood sweetheart as soon as she reaches the legal age of marriage. Kaoru Karasuma, the youngest Xiaoliu, has never been in love again.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Kaoru Karasuma has brought a member of the opposite sex to them. Although she just said that they are good friends, it is uncertain how it will develop in the future.
At least judging from Karasuma Kaoru's attitude now, she trusts each other very much-this is enough to explain the problem.
So everyone is very curious about Toru Amuro.
Only Kaoru Karasuma's father looked at Toru Amuro without making a sound, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Isn't this... the child from Jiang Gu's family?
Reminiscent of Karasuma Kaoru's public security work, many things can basically be deduced.
Kaoru Karasuma's father saw it clearly, and took a sip of tea slowly with downcast eyes. The dense mist rose and slightly stained the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose.
**
The time for the whole family to chat in the box did not last long.
Because there was a steady stream of people knocking on the door of the box, one by one with gifts in their hands, some came to reminisce about the old days, some came to discuss business, and some came to make friends.
Karasuma Kaoru and Amuro Toru also saw two people on their watch list.
——The previous Taisho Pharmaceutical incident gave them a lot of inspiration.
Taisho Pharmaceutical is the property of the organization, and the controller on the surface has nothing to do with the organization or the Karasuma family, but the second controlling shareholder of Taisho Pharmaceutical is a person related to the Karasuma family.Later, under his further investigation by the Ministry of Public Security, it was also found that this person was actually a member of the organization.
As a result, the Ministry of Public Security began to wonder whether other industries of the organization would be controlled in the same way.
They started their investigations from the confirmed industries controlled by the organization, followed the vines, and found that one or two of the controlling shareholders or management of these apparent industries had blood ties to the Karasuma family.
They are all the same as the previous Taisho Pharmaceuticals, with no surname Karasuma, and almost no connection with the Karasuma family, but they can all be traced back to Karasuma Renye in the end—they are all descendants of Karasuma Renye, The very obscure ones are mostly the descendants of the illegitimate children of the Karasuma family or the descendants of married daughters.
Toru Amuro did not expect such an investigation result.
He has been undercover in the organization for seven full years, but he has never discovered that the Black Organization is likely to be a "family business" linked by blood.
Amuro was a little annoyed.
In fact, this incident is not without symptoms.
After mastering the secret of Belmode, he should have thought of this aspect earlier.
——Bermode has a blood relationship with the organization's behind-the-scenes BOSS.
While Toru Amuro was annoyed, he intensively conducted targeted investigations on the middle and high-level personnel of the organization, and found that more people were directly or indirectly related to the Karasuma family, and the ratio was as high as ten to one.
In those few days, the entire Zero team was mobilized, making a list, trying to find the relationship points among them.
Most of these people on the list are only indirect contacts of the Karasuma family, and there must be people behind them, but it is impossible for the entire Karasuma family to be involved in the organization.
Therefore, the task of their public security at this stage is to find out those who hide behind the scenes, have a certain right to speak in the Karasuma family, and have interest disputes with the organization, and finally follow the clues to confirm the true identity of the organization's boss.
However, this task is quite difficult.
They stayed up all night, and finally managed to sort out five related people, each related person has direct or indirect contact with two or more members of the organization.
Just like the No. [-] related person in front of him, Karasuma calls him a grandfather. His own sister's son is a member of the organization, and at the same time, his eldest son's illegitimate daughter is also a member of the organization.
Toru Amuro pretended to inadvertently test him with some specious words, but the other party's performance couldn't be more normal. If his acting skills were not good enough to deceive the sharp eyes of Japan's first public security intelligence officer and FBI ace, there is a high probability that he has nothing to do with the organization .
The related person No. [-], who was listening on the sidelines, did not have any abnormal expressions on his face, and he probably had nothing to do with the organization.
Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro tested the third and fourth persons in succession, but still found nothing.
Karasuma couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Could it be that they are looking in the wrong direction?
Toru Amuro noticed the anxiety in Karasuma Kaoru's eyes, and patted her arm calmly, "It's a big taboo to be impatient."
Karasuma was taken aback for a moment, then nodded seriously.
Matsuda Jinping, who was flying aside, heard this sentence, folded his arms around his chest and snorted: "You guy Jianggu, why did you steal my lines again?"
Hearing this sentence, Kaoru Karasuma almost laughed, but luckily held it back in time.
**
In the following time, Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro checked out the remaining dozen or so secondary observation objects one after another—they had a direct or indirect relative who was a small senior executive in the organization.
But also got nothing.
So far, there is only one suspicious person left on their watch list, that is, the current leader of the Karasuma Group, Karasuma Keita.
Keita Karasuma is 79 years old this year. He is the youngest son of the direct line of the Karasuma family. In the past two years, he has successfully become the master of the house.
The organization has the most people related to him, and it is also the most suspicious object of suspicion.
Karasuma Keita's illegitimate daughter, illegitimate daughter, daughter's grandson, and twin sister's granddaughter are all members of the organization.
Since Karasuma Keita can become the current person in charge of the Karasuma Group, it shows that he is not bad in ability, and his behavior style is also a person with a strong desire to control. His junior has become a member of the organization. It is impossible for Karasuma Keita Unaware.
There must be something hidden in this.
But Karasuma Keita is not so easy to get in touch with. ——Fortunately, the police prepared two-handed preparations this time.
Before the banquet started, Urasuma Keita stayed in his private room, refusing to see outsiders.
It wasn't until the banquet finally started that after the host finished playing up the atmosphere, he leaned on a cane and walked down slowly from the third floor step by step under the light of the white spotlight amidst the applause of the guests.
A large group of bodyguards dressed in black followed closely behind him, surrounding him.
Karasuma Keita himself is an unsmiling old man, wearing a neat suit, his gray hair is combed back meticulously, time has left deep wrinkles on his face, and his whole body exudes a compelling aura.
The voice in the hall gradually decreased, and when Karasuma Keita finally came to the stage, the audience was already silent.
Karasuma Keita seemed quite satisfied with this, nodded slightly, and stood in front of the Lime microphone.
"Welcome everyone to come--"
Keita Karasuma's hoarse and deep voice like a crow spread throughout the audience through the microphone.
What followed was a lengthy speech, and Kaoru Karasuma listened boredly.
Until the end, Keita Karasuma suddenly changed the topic.
"...Today I specially prepared a magic show for everyone, and it will officially start at eight o'clock tonight..."
Hearing this sentence, Karasuma frowned slightly: "The time indicated in Kidd's notice letter is eight o'clock tonight."
Toru Amuro was thoughtful: "Keita Karasuma rejected the help provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, and now he said that he would invite everyone to enjoy the magic show at the same time... Could it be that he invited a phantom thief or a magician who is as famous as phantom thief Kidd? "
——Toru Amuro specially arranged Kaitou Kidd to appear this time, just to test Karasuma Keita.Karasuma Keita, as the person in charge of the Karasuma Group and the most senior person in charge of the [-]th anniversary celebration, how he chooses to treat the Kaitou Kidd can reflect the character of Karasuma Keita and his personality to a certain extent. connections.
Toru Amuro suppressed the deep thought in his eyes, took out his mobile phone and edited an email.
Karasuma Keita finally announced the official start of the dinner.
After Karasuma Keita sat on the main table and moved the first chopsticks, the others picked up their chopsticks one after another and began to enjoy dinner.
"Xiao Liu, try this king crab, it tastes very good!" Karasuma Kito added a piece of crystal clear crab meat to Karasuma.
"Xiao Liu, isn't this your favorite mutton soup? It's in front of you, try it quickly."
"Xiao Liu, you still have your favorite crispy duck today, come, eat a piece while it's hot."
"Xiao Liu, this sashimi dish is good, smooth but not greasy, try it."
……
At the dinner table, Kaoru Karasuma didn't need to add vegetables at all, and the family members had already piled up the dishes for her!
Karasuma smoked all comers.
"Delicious! This one is also good!" Kaoru Karasuma's eyes sparkled, his cheeks bulged slightly, and after his taste buds were satisfied, he could not stop smiling.
Toru Amuro couldn't help laughing seeing Kaoru Karasuma eating happily.
No wonder her family members were busy picking up vegetables for her. Seeing Karasuma eating so happily, her appetite improved a lot.
So Amuro Toru also took a piece of cold tofu for Karasuma with the serving chopsticks.
"Thank you!" Karasuma puffed her cheeks, raised her head and smiled at Amuro.
Amuro's purplish-gray pupils reflected the way her eyes curled up with laughter, she was a little absent-minded, and her heart suddenly missed a beat.
However, Kaoru Karasuma's smile didn't last long.
She stopped laughing suddenly, with a serious face, she suddenly turned her head and looked back.
Did not see anything suspicious.
Was it her illusion just now?
"Did you find anything?" Toru Amuro put down his chopsticks and followed her to search the venue.
Karasuma frowned slightly: "Someone seemed to be staring at me just now."
Matsuda Jinpei, who immediately noticed the clues and flew over to check, flew back at this time: "Someone has been looking in this direction just now. She is a waitress in her 50s and [-]s. She looks very thin and her face is haggard. I Look at the name written on her badge is Onodera Mie."
Mie Onodera?
an unfamiliar name.
Kaoru Karasuma lowered her eyes, silently remembering the name in her heart.
**
Eight o'clock in the evening.
It's time for the Karasuma family to reveal the heirloom gem, Eye of Space.
It is the time to steal the gems as predicted by Kaito Kidd's notice letter.
It was also the time when Keita Karasuma said that he was going to show a magic show.
As early as 10 minutes ago, the host re-entered the stage and began to warm up the atmosphere.
And when the hands on the clock officially point to eight o'clock, the atmosphere has been rendered to its climax.
"Next, let us solemnly invite the witnesses who have accompanied our Karasuma Group from the ups and downs to the peak of prosperity in the past 100 years, and are also the treasures handed down from generation to generation of the Karasuma family-the Eye of Deep Space!"
Accompanied by the sound of "Weng Longlong", a transparent glass table slowly rises, and on the display counter is placed a large black gem, which is as big as an adult's fist, and the color in the middle is obviously darker than the surrounding color , at first glance, like a crow's eyes.
However, as soon as the host's voice fell, all the lights in the venue were suddenly extinguished.
"Ah!" The crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and someone screamed in fear.
Then came the sound of glass breaking.
The glass skylight overhead was broken from the outside.
A white and gorgeous figure, accompanied by the silver moonlight shining in, slowly descended from the sky.
"It's Phantom Thief Kid!"
"Master Kidd!!"
No matter where you are, you can't miss Kaitou Kidd's fan girl.
The Kaitou Kidd landed precisely on top of the gem cabinet, and his white leather shoes stepped on the glass of the showcase, making a light "click".
He raised his head slowly, and the wide brim of his hat cast a large shadow on his face, and others could only see the corners of his lips that suddenly turned upward.
Kaitou Kidd slowly raised a hand upwards.
The hand wearing the white glove flipped back and forth twice, and a large black gemstone suddenly appeared in the empty palm.
It's the eye of deep space!
Everyone gasped, and they all looked at the Eye of Deep Space in the display case below—fortunately, they were staying in the display case.
How could there be two eyes of deep space? !
As if guessing everyone's confusion, Kaitou Kidd smiled frivolously: "The real eye of deep space, I, Kaitou Kidd, accepted it."
——The Eye of Deep Space in the display cabinet is fake. He stole the Eye of Deep Space before and put in a fake one.
——I have to say that after joining the public security system, his work as a monster thief has become easier and easier.
"As expected of Lord Kidd!"
"Master Kidd is so high!"
Amidst the cheers of fans and fans, Kaitou Kidd went up with one hand holding the telescopic sling: "Bye bye~"
However, seeing that Kaitou Kidd was about to leave, something happened suddenly.
"Stop." A dark figure appeared on the stage at some point.
A white spider web suddenly enveloped from the ceiling, caught off guard, and locked the Kaitou Kidd firmly in the web.
Toru Amuro's pupils shrank sharply.
He is...Spider!
——The mysterious organization in charge of investigation by the warehouse team next door. The members in it use the names of animals as their code names, and Spider is one of them!
Xiao Liu and Brian haven't developed a relationship between men and women yet.
If there were any signs of that, Xiao Liu's reaction should be jealous and sulking, not gloating like watching a drama like he is now, like hurting a friend.
It is considered that Brian has a sense of propriety and did not deliberately seduce Xiao Liu.
Karasuma Kato looked at Toru Amuro's scrutiny, and finally relaxed two points.
Karasuma Kaoru led Karasuma Kaoru to the front, Amuro Toru and Okiya Subaru followed silently.
Kaoru Karasuma just learned that his parent's official had really studied in Niu Lang's shop, and became the top card, and he couldn't control his desire to gossip.

But I can Just ask my little sister, it’s been more than five years, and she still has to mention Brian every now and then, and I remember she still has a lot of videos.”
"Video!" Kaoru Karasuma's eyes lit up again, "Third Cousin, can you—"
Karasuma Kaoru poked Karasuma Kaoru's forehead amusedly: "Understood, I will remember to ask her for the video for you."
Although Kaoru Karasuma deliberately lowered his voice, Toru Amuro and Subaru Okiya followed behind them, with good hearing, how could they not hear what they were talking about.
Okiya Subaru glanced at Toru Amuro lightly.

Matsuda Zhenpingfei snickered beside him: "Hahaha! You deserve it!"
Hagiwara Kenji touched his chin: "I really want to see that video soon."
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of something: "If it was five years ago, I remember that Ley seemed to be taken away by Belmode."
When Karasuma heard Zhu Fu Jingguang's words, he raised his eyebrows.
oh?Akai Shuichi also went?
Thinking of Shuichi Akai following behind, Kaoru Karasuma was a little ready to move.
She resumed her normal volume, and began to chat with her cousin: "Third cousin, it's been more than five years since you and your friend, do you still remember what happened in Charm? Did something happen that affected you?" something profound?"

Therefore, the task of their public security at this stage is to find out those who hide behind the scenes, have a certain right to speak in the Karasuma family, and have interest disputes with the organization, and finally follow the clues to confirm the true identity of the organization's boss.
However, this task is quite difficult.
They stayed up all night, and finally managed to sort out five related people, each related person has direct or indirect contact with two or more members of the organization.
Just like the No. [-] related person in front of him, Karasuma calls him a grandfather. His own sister's son is a member of the organization, and at the same time, his eldest son's illegitimate daughter is also a member of the organization.
Toru Amuro pretended to inadvertently test him with some specious words, but the other party's performance couldn't be more normal. If his acting skills were not good enough to deceive the sharp eyes of Japan's first public security intelligence officer and FBI ace, there is a high probability that he has nothing to do with the organization .
The related person No. [-], who was listening on the sidelines, did not have any abnormal expressions on his face, and he probably had nothing to do with the organization.
Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro tested the third and fourth persons in succession, but still found nothing.
Karasuma couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Could it be that they are looking in the wrong direction?
Toru Amuro noticed the anxiety in Karasuma Kaoru's eyes, and patted her arm calmly, "It's a big taboo to be impatient."
Karasuma was taken aback for a moment, then nodded seriously.
Matsuda Jinping, who was flying aside, heard this sentence, folded his arms around his chest and snorted: "You guy Jianggu, why did you steal my lines again?"
Hearing this sentence, Kaoru Karasuma almost laughed, but luckily held it back in time.
**
In the following time, Kaoru Karasuma and Toru Amuro checked out the remaining dozen or so secondary observation objects one after another—they had a direct or indirect relative who was a small senior executive in the organization.
But also got nothing.
So far, there is only one suspicious person left on their watch list, that is, the current leader of the Karasuma Group, Karasuma Keita.
Keita Karasuma is 79 years old this year. He is the youngest son of the direct line of the Karasuma family. In the past two years, he has successfully become the master of the house.
The organization has the most people related to him, and it is also the most suspicious object of suspicion.
Karasuma Keita's illegitimate daughter, illegitimate daughter, daughter's grandson, and twin sister's granddaughter are all members of the organization.
Since Karasuma Keita can become the current person in charge of the Karasuma Group, it shows that he is not bad in ability, and his behavior style is also a person with a strong desire to control. His junior has become a member of the organization. It is impossible for Karasuma Keita Unaware.
There must be something hidden in this.
But Karasuma Keita is not so easy to get in touch with. ——Fortunately, the police prepared two-handed preparations this time.
Before the banquet started, Urasuma Keita stayed in his private room, refusing to see outsiders.
It wasn't until the banquet finally started that after the host finished playing up the atmosphere, he leaned on a cane and walked down slowly from the third floor step by step under the light of the white spotlight amidst the applause of the guests.
A large group of bodyguards dressed in black followed closely behind him, surrounding him.
Karasuma Keita himself is an unsmiling old man, wearing a neat suit, his gray hair is combed back meticulously, time has left deep wrinkles on his face, and his whole body exudes a compelling aura.
The voice in the hall gradually decreased, and when Karasuma Keita finally came to the stage, the audience was already silent.
Karasuma Keita seemed quite satisfied with this, nodded slightly, and stood in front of the Lime microphone.
"Welcome everyone to come--"
Keita Karasuma's hoarse and deep voice like a crow spread throughout the audience through the microphone.
What followed was a lengthy speech, and Kaoru Karasuma listened boredly.
Until the end, Keita Karasuma suddenly changed the topic.
"...Today I specially prepared a magic show for everyone, and it will officially start at eight o'clock tonight..."
Hearing this sentence, Karasuma frowned slightly: "The time indicated in Kidd's notice letter is eight o'clock tonight."
Toru Amuro was thoughtful: "Keita Karasuma rejected the help provided by the Metropolitan Police Department, and now he said that he would invite everyone to enjoy the magic show at the same time... Could it be that he invited a phantom thief or a magician who is as famous as phantom thief Kidd? "
——Toru Amuro specially arranged Kaitou Kidd to appear this time, just to test Karasuma Keita.Karasuma Keita, as the person in charge of the Karasuma Group and the most senior person in charge of the [-]th anniversary celebration, how he chooses to treat the Kaitou Kidd can reflect the character of Karasuma Keita and his personality to a certain extent. connections.
Toru Amuro suppressed the deep thought in his eyes, took out his mobile phone and edited an email.
Karasuma Keita finally announced the official start of the dinner.
After Karasuma Keita sat on the main table and moved the first chopsticks, the others picked up their chopsticks one after another and began to enjoy dinner.
"Xiao Liu, try this king crab, it tastes very good!" Karasuma Kito added a piece of crystal clear crab meat to Karasuma.
"Xiao Liu, isn't this your favorite mutton soup? It's in front of you, try it quickly."
"Xiao Liu, you still have your favorite crispy duck today, come, eat a piece while it's hot."
"Xiao Liu, this sashimi dish is good, smooth but not greasy, try it."
……
At the dinner table, Kaoru Karasuma didn't need to add vegetables at all, and the family members had already piled up the dishes for her!
Karasuma smoked all comers.
"Delicious! This one is also good!" Kaoru Karasuma's eyes sparkled, his cheeks bulged slightly, and after his taste buds were satisfied, he could not stop smiling.
Toru Amuro couldn't help laughing seeing Kaoru Karasuma eating happily.
No wonder her family members were busy picking up vegetables for her. Seeing Karasuma eating so happily, her appetite improved a lot.
So Amuro Toru also took a piece of cold tofu for Karasuma with the serving chopsticks.
"Thank you!" Karasuma puffed her cheeks, raised her head and smiled at Amuro.
Amuro's purplish-gray pupils reflected the way her eyes curled up with laughter, she was a little absent-minded, and her heart suddenly missed a beat.
However, Kaoru Karasuma's smile didn't last long.
She stopped laughing suddenly, with a serious face, she suddenly turned her head and looked back.
Did not see anything suspicious.
Was it her illusion just now?
"Did you find anything?" Toru Amuro put down his chopsticks and followed her to search the venue.
Karasuma frowned slightly: "Someone seemed to be staring at me just now."
Matsuda Jinpei, who immediately noticed the clues and flew over to check, flew back at this time: "Someone has been looking in this direction just now. She is a waitress in her 50s and [-]s. She looks very thin and her face is haggard. I Look at the name written on her badge is Onodera Mie."
Mie Onodera?
an unfamiliar name.
Kaoru Karasuma lowered her eyes, silently remembering the name in her heart.
**
Eight o'clock in the evening.
It's time for the Karasuma family to reveal the heirloom gem, Eye of Space.
It is the time to steal the gems as predicted by Kaito Kidd's notice letter.
It was also the time when Keita Karasuma said that he was going to show a magic show.
As early as 10 minutes ago, the host re-entered the stage and began to warm up the atmosphere.
And when the hands on the clock officially point to eight o'clock, the atmosphere has been rendered to its climax.
"Next, let us solemnly invite the witnesses who have accompanied our Karasuma Group from the ups and downs to the peak of prosperity in the past 100 years, and are also the treasures handed down from generation to generation of the Karasuma family-the Eye of Deep Space!"
Accompanied by the sound of "Weng Longlong", a transparent glass table slowly rises, and on the display counter is placed a large black gem, which is as big as an adult's fist, and the color in the middle is obviously darker than the surrounding color , at first glance, like a crow's eyes.
However, as soon as the host's voice fell, all the lights in the venue were suddenly extinguished.
"Ah!" The crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and someone screamed in fear.
Then came the sound of glass breaking.
The glass skylight overhead was broken from the outside.
A white and gorgeous figure, accompanied by the silver moonlight shining in, slowly descended from the sky.
"It's Phantom Thief Kid!"
"Master Kidd!!"
No matter where you are, you can't miss Kaitou Kidd's fan girl.
The Kaitou Kidd landed precisely on top of the gem cabinet, and his white leather shoes stepped on the glass of the showcase, making a light "click".
He raised his head slowly, and the wide brim of his hat cast a large shadow on his face, and others could only see the corners of his lips that suddenly turned upward.
Kaitou Kidd slowly raised a hand upwards.
The hand wearing the white glove flipped back and forth twice, and a large black gemstone suddenly appeared in the empty palm.
It's the eye of deep space!
Everyone gasped, and they all looked at the Eye of Deep Space in the display case below—fortunately, they were staying in the display case.
How could there be two eyes of deep space? !
As if guessing everyone's confusion, Kaitou Kidd smiled frivolously: "The real eye of deep space, I, Kaitou Kidd, accepted it."
——The Eye of Deep Space in the display cabinet is fake. He stole the Eye of Deep Space before and put in a fake one.
——I have to say that after joining the public security system, his work as a monster thief has become easier and easier.
"As expected of Lord Kidd!"
"Master Kidd is so high!"
Amidst the cheers of fans and fans, Kaitou Kidd went up with one hand holding the telescopic sling: "Bye bye~"
However, seeing that Kaitou Kidd was about to leave, something happened suddenly.
"Stop." A dark figure appeared on the stage at some point.
A white spider web suddenly enveloped from the ceiling, caught off guard, and locked the Kaitou Kidd firmly in the web.
Toru Amuro's pupils shrank sharply.
He is...Spider!
——The mysterious organization in charge of investigation by the warehouse team next door. The members in it use the names of animals as their code names, and Spider is one of them!
