"Boss... Do you have to dress like this?"

The silver-haired man frowned slightly, rubbing the frame of the thin-rimmed glasses uncomfortably, and the drop-shaped earring on his left ear was also shaking slightly with his movements.

Renye Karasuma was wearing a tie in front of the mirror, and smiled lightly when she heard this: "It's so pretty."

He looked at the gin reflected in the mirror, with an elegant and calm tone, and said with emotion: "It's been so many years since I attended a banquet like this."

Gin's expression sank, obviously thinking of Renye Karasuma being trapped in the mountain villa for so many years.

He pursed his lips tightly, obviously upset.

Karasuma Renye noticed, and could tell where Gin was thinking at a glance, couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth, and coaxed: "Don't think too much, I feel great now."

While speaking, he fastened his tie and turned to look at Gin.

The figure and temperament of the man in the Italian-style pure white suit are excellent, like an aristocratic gentleman who came out of an oil painting in the last century.

Whether it's Renye Karasuma or Gin, they rarely wear light-colored clothes, but this time I don't know what Renye Karasuma thinks. The two suits he carefully selected, one is the plain clothes he is wearing. White, and the silver gray on Gin's body--on both of them, they were too bright.

Gin silently watched Renye Karasuma playing with a delicate monocle.

After all, he was raised by Renye Karasuma.

Naturally, I don't know how much my boss likes some fancy gadgets.

Thinking about the time when he was adopted by Renye Karasuma, he was "tortured" in this regard.

After all, Gin is not interested in these things at all, and the aesthetics he now has is not bad, which was cultivated by Karasuma Renye over time.

...But there is no way, the boss likes it.

Gin glanced at himself in the glasses.

His long hair was tied behind his head, and a few strands of hair were loosely loose. The broken hair on the right side of his cheek was carefully braided and hung down on his shoulders, echoing the green drop-shaped earring worn on his left ear.

And the thin silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose perfectly concealed his sharp sense of examining others, plus the several rings on his hands interlaced...

It really looks like the young master who was raised by a rich man with jewelry and books.

Just when Gin couldn't help frowning seeing himself like this, Renye Karasuma walked over, took off the glasses for Gin with a smile, hung them on the edge of Gin's chest pocket, and put a cold metal mask Buckle on Gin's face.

It was a pitch-black mask that only covered the upper half of the face, with silver patterns engraved on it.

Renye Karasuma wore it herself. His style was similar to that of gin, except that there was a black pendant carved into the shape of a feather on the edge of the mask—and it was a broken half feather.

The man looked at the gin and said happily: "Let's go, at this time, the masquerade should have started, let's go and have fun."

------

The ballroom is set up in the cabin. In addition to the splendid dance floor, a variety of buffet food, there is a bar counter in charge of the bartender next to it, and even the bustling casino is next to the bar counter.

Mao Lilan managed to keep his father from rushing into the casino to cheat money.

Xiaolan thought in her heart: Really!Dad, this idiot, will definitely lose his pants by being cheated by the people in the casino!

Sonoko Suzuki managed to get away from the high society greetings, and walked up to Mao Lilan with a puffy face and high heels, carrying a heavy skirt.

She complained angrily: "What kind of people did uncle invite this time! They all came over one by one to make friends, and everyone in our family was entangled. Fortunately, I am clever..."

As she spoke, she curled her lips and lowered her voice: "But there are a lot of handsome guys...Although they all wear masks, you can tell that there are a lot of handsome guys just by looking at their body shape and temperament..."

"Isn't it? After all, they are all trained policemen..." Kudo Shinichi muttered in his heart.

He watched Xiaolan and Yuanzi go to the dessert area arm in arm, then turned his head and said speechlessly, "Hey, I'm talking about you, how long are you going to follow me?!"

Hattori Heiji smacked his lips: "Who is following you! This position is just right enough to see the audience, don't think that I don't know you are standing here to observe who is Kaitou Kid, Kudo!"

The corner of Shinichi's mouth twitched: "The gem exhibition is two days away, and now the gem is still sealed in a place that we don't know. If I were Kaitou Kidd, I would rush to search at this time while most of the people are on the dance floor. Go on a cruise instead of enjoying it on the dance floor like an idiot!"

Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes: "Yes! I know, so - Kudo, what are you standing here observing?"

What to observe...Of course, some of the guests in this group may be policemen, but they are somewhat inconsistent when observing carefully...

A detective never ignores any of his instincts.

Since the beginning of the masquerade ball, Kudo Shinichi has been vaguely feeling uneasy, as if some unknown danger is about to break out on the cruise ship.

He intuitively felt that this unease didn't just come from the international thief.

But in the face of a Kansai detective whom he met for the first time, Kudo Shinichi didn't feel the need to disclose so many unfounded speculations.

He frowned and clicked his tongue: "...I say now that I didn't come here for Kidd, do you believe me?"

Hattori Heiji had "Are you kidding me" written all over his face.

Shinichi shrugged: "Whatever you think, just don't follow me."

He turned his head away from entanglement with Hattori Heiji, glanced around inadvertently from the corner of his eye, and then he found a fact strangely.

"...When did so many people come to this corner?"

Kudo Shinichi's face was deep, and he looked around quietly quietly.

As soon as he took a look, he met the eyes of the long-haired man leaning against the pillar on his left.

"!!!"

The boy turned his head hastily and forcibly calmed down.

Something is wrong, there is definitely something wrong with these people...

Kidd is only one person, and the style of this strange thief has always been to steal gems without hurting others, and will return the gems after stealing them. It sounds like a non-aggressive stubborn.

But these people present...

Whether it is lurking among the guests or standing next to him, it gives people a sense of danger.

Especially the one next to him!

At this time, Akai Shuichi, who was leaning on the pillar, frowned silently.

"This boy..." he was thoughtful, "Does he look familiar?"

He hadn't had time to think about it.

Suddenly, Judy's voice sounded in the headset.

"Show! The people in the zoo have already started to do it! Now all the entrances and exits of the dance floor are blocked, and the guys from the zoo are guarding the door. I am hiding in the storage room of the back kitchen. The chef in the back kitchen has just been arrested by the zoo people. Taken away! I doubt they will soon—maybe even have their hands on the captain's quarters!"

The woman's tone was urgent but clear: "Other people from the FBI followed the cruise ship in a speedboat. Do you need to notify them for assistance now?"

Akai Shuichi thought calmly: "Sure enough, the zoo won't wait until the gem exhibition to do it. That's too stupid, because the police and bodyguards at the gem exhibition are the most vigilant. It's better to take advantage of everyone's reaction. Use your hands to be strong..."

For a cruise ship drifting at sea, the captain and the captain's cabin are the most important and the best hostages.

And... Akai Hideichi doesn't think the zoo has this kind of means.

His face was heavy.

The style of the zoo has always been cruel. After they get the gems, they will never let the cruise ship go... After all, the Kaitou Kidd sent a notice in advance. , isn't it firmly on Kaitou Kidd's head?

Shuichi Akai covered his earphones and whispered, "Have you found any traces of a bomb?"

"No..." Judy hesitated, "Xiu, are we thinking too much? I just hid in the back kitchen and put a bug on the chef, and now I can still hear the conversations of the people in the zoo... I didn't listen Until they mention this..."

Xiuyi's tone became more serious: "Whether there is or not, we have to consider it."

Judy answered vaguely.

Hearing the other party's absent-minded answer, Akai Shuichi recalled for some reason the sense of disobedience he felt when he contacted Judy and Kamel these days.

Judy and Kamel are Shuichi Akai's best teammates in the FBI.

Xiu Yi couldn't help frowning: "Judy, do you have something to hide from me?"

"—No, Xiu." Judy's voice sounded natural, "Why do you think so."

Akai Shuichi was about to say something, when Judy said quickly: "The doorkeeper in the back kitchen has left! Xiu, I'll act first. I will pay attention to the bomb!"

"..."

The man covered the earphones that had fallen into silence, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

There was something wrong with Judy's attitude.

Is... did something happen over there at the FBI?

A series of accidents unfolded quietly under the lively dance.

But the people on the dance floor are still unconsciously immersed in the pianist's playing. The suit pants and skirts are intertwined, and the dance steps are graceful. On the surface, everything couldn't be more peaceful.

Gin was also standing in the corner, next to him was Karasuma Renya who was holding champagne.

One of the two people's face became more and more cold, while the other smiled helplessly.

Even Kudo Shinichi felt the sense of disobedience, and a killer like Gin Jiu who had been walking on the tip of a knife all year round would naturally not fail to see the origins of some people present.

He also saw Akai Shuichi leaning on the pillar not far ahead, and almost a lot of protagonists.

Heh... what a good time.

he thought mockingly.

Gin probably figured out which guys had a bad background, so he sent a message ordering Margo to investigate as soon as possible. At the same time, he turned his head to Karasuma Renye, lowered his eyes slightly, and prepared to apologize.

Unexpectedly, Renye Karasuma raised her hand to press Gin's shoulder first, and said apologetically in her voice, "Gin, I'm so sorry."

The man with black hair and red eyes sighed: "I thought I could watch a good show of thieves and detectives from a distance, but I didn't expect there to be so many meddlers..."

With a helpless expression, he clenched the hand on Qin Jiu's shoulder slightly, then released it, patted it lightly as usual, and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, there will be opportunities in the future."

Karasuma Renye is always tolerant when facing Gin, and it often makes people feel that he does not regard Gin as a reliable and calm mature killer, but like looking at the delicate-looking and indifferent expression many years ago. Like a child, he is extremely pampered.

Qin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "...Yes, boss."
