Tonight, the famous Ed Company will hold a party to commemorate the company's 20th anniversary in its Twin Towers.
Among them, the famous Maori detective also received an invitation to the party.
"Ed Company? Is it that famous luxury brand?" Mao Lilan asked.
"Well, it started by designing luxury bags, and then gradually developed into other luxury goods fields, focusing on high-end consumption as a global enterprise." Karasumaying explained.
"That's amazing! But why would such a big brand company specially invite dad?"
"Wow haha! That's of course because I, Mouri Kogoro, have already been famous..."
"I think it's because of Kaitou Kidd?"
Ruthlessly interrupting Kogoro Mouri's narcissistic words, Conan pointed to a piece of news being broadcast on the TV and said.
On the TV at this time, there happened to be an interview program with an old man wearing a kimono.
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He was wearing a colorful kimono, with a slicked back hair and a mustache. He looked very aura.
The subtitles at the bottom of the screen also indicate the identity of this old man: Ichiro Owada, the founder and president of Ed Company.
"[I wish you a successful party, please let me present a flower! I will accept the 'Tears of Cleopatra'... Kaitou KID]
Mr. Owada, what do you think of this warning letter from Kaitou Kidd? "
"Hmph! Stupid! Ridiculous!"
On TV, Ichiro Yamada showed extreme disdain when asked by reporters.
"Kaitou Kid? It's just a boring farce! I have contacted the police, and Mr. Mori, the famous detective known as 'Sleeping Kogoro', has also accepted my invitation and will attend the party tonight.
Hum hum… Kaitou Kidd? Come if you are really capable! Come and steal my Cleopatra's tears! Hahahahaha! "
On the TV, Owada Ichiro's laughter was still echoing, but outside the TV, Mao Lilan and others were already shocked.
"Did Kidd actually send a notice at today's party..."
"Kid?" Karasuma Ying looked at Mao Lilan curiously. She had never heard of this name.
"Ah, Sister Ying, you haven't been in Japan for a long time, so you probably haven't heard of it yet, right?
Kidd is a monster thief who only steals gems. The reason why he says this is because he always returns the gems after stealing them.
Then, he is also good at disguise and magic, and often deceives the police who try to arrest him. However, he never kills people. In short, he is a very special and strange person.
I really didn’t expect that he would actually send a warning letter to Aide Company this time..."
"No, this notice letter should not be sent by Kidd." Conan looked at the notice letter of Kidd the Phantom Thief that was shown on TV seriously, and suddenly said.
"Kidd's notices always specify when and where he will steal the gems, but this notice does not."
"Huh? It seems to be the same..."
"In other words, is this notice letter forged by someone else?" Karasumaying asked.
She didn't know much about Kaitou Kidd and could only judge based on the information provided by Conan.
"Well, I'm afraid that's the case." Conan nodded, with a solemn look on his face.
There was one sentence he didn't actually say. Considering Kidd's weird and arrogant temperament, even if this notice letter was really forged by someone else, I'm afraid he would definitely appear on the scene by then, right?
Tonight's party may not be that simple...
"..."
Ed Twin Towers, one of the landmark buildings in Mihua City.
It is divided into east tower and west tower according to its geographical location, with interconnected floors on the lower floors between the two towers.
In order to limit the space for Kaitou Kid to move, tonight's party will only be held in the west tower, while the east tower is blocked by the police. No one is allowed to enter except some detectives and the Owada family.
And the famous Tears of Cleopatra will only be displayed in the West Tower.
At night, there was a lot of excitement outside the West Tower Banquet Hall. Because of Kaitou Kidd, many well-dressed people lined up at the door, waiting to be investigated by the police.
"Wow, how long will this take?" Looking at the long queue, Conan couldn't help but complain.
"Who knows? I can only kill some time by reading this luxurious event magazine they distributed." Haiyuan Ai, standing behind him, replied.
"Really... ugh?! Haiyuan?!"
As if he realized something was wrong at this moment, Conan turned around suddenly and looked at Haibara Ai behind him in shock.
"What's wrong?" Haiyuan Ai put down the event magazine in her hand. She seemed to be waiting for Conan's reaction, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she was smiling.
Behind Haihara Ai, Dr. Ali also smiled and said hello to Conan.
"Doctor? And Xiao Ai? Why are you here too?" Mao Lilan turned around and asked in surprise when she heard the voice.
"Haha." Dr. Ali heard this, raised his hand to touch his big belly, and replied with a smile: "I made some small inventions for Mr. Owada in the early years. He and I are actually friends, so this time he was taken along by the way. Came with the invitation."
"Good evening, doctor, and Xiao Ai." Karasumaying also greeted the two of them.
"Um……"
Hui Yuan Ai raised his head and glanced at her, responded in a low voice, and then silently raised the venue catalog in his hand a little higher, blocking Karasuma Ying's view of her.
【well? Am I being disliked? 】
Looking at this scene, Karasumaying could only continue to smile.
I don’t know why, but Hui Yuan Ai seems to be a little...rejecting her?
"Mr. Mori? Good evening, you are here..."
A familiar voice sounded, and at the front of the team, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi walked side by side towards the crowd.
The two of them seemed to have been checking guests at the gate, and had just been replaced by other detectives to take a rest. At this time, their faces were full of exhaustion.
By the way, the way they check guests is very simple and crude, that is, pulling their faces hard.
Although this method seems stupid, it is indeed an excellent way to restrain Kaitou Kid's Disguise Technique.
Although Kaitou Kidd has never been exposed by this trick...
The person who proposed this method is also the person in charge of the security of tonight's party, Kaitou Kidd's "old rival", the indomitable middle-aged police officer - Nakamori Ginsan Police Department!
It should be noted that the Nakamori Police Department is affiliated with the Criminal Investigation Division 2, while Officer Sato and Takagi are affiliated with the Investigation Division 1.
The reason why the two of them are here tonight is because the Zhongmori Police Department temporarily borrowed them from Officer Megure due to lack of manpower.
"Then let's go take a rest first. See you later, Mr. Mori."
After saying hello to Mouri Kogoro, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi, who were almost exhausted, supported each other and walked to the rest area aside.
"The relationship between the two of them has gotten better..." Mao Lilan looked at the intimate two and said with a smile.
"Indeed." Conan nodded.
"It would be great if Shinichi could come tonight..."
"Uh, um, Brother Shinichi..."
"I must be busy too..." Mao Lilan sighed softly.
"Ahaha..." Conan smiled cutely, Karasumaying glanced at him and said nothing.
A group of people chatted and queued up. As the queue moved forward slowly, a person who surprised everyone suddenly appeared.
"Ah, Mr. Mori, long time no see."
A beautifully dressed young woman walked out of the crowd and greeted Mouri Kogoro familiarly.
Looking at this man, Conan and Karasumaying's pupils suddenly shrank.
Chrissy Wynyard? !
