Dusk.
On the way to Yokohama Port, several people walked slowly.
The queue is divided into three parts.
Hattori Heiji and Conan each stood next to Ye Gengyi. On the side in front of them were Maori Ran and Suzuki Sonoko.
Behind him, Kogoro Mouri was alone, still despairing of his future life without tobacco or alcohol.
Ye Gengyi looked at the two of them from side to side and asked, "Did you quarrel?"
"No," Hattori Heiji paused, and when a certain detective turned to look over, he continued: "He is just a willful little devil. After all, which adult would really be angry with a child!"
This guy Hattori...
Conan turned his head fiercely. If others don't know, doesn't this black man know?
They are both the same age!
Ye Gengyi silently quickened his pace, and the two people beside him also followed suit.
Here, the topic between the two girls has successfully jumped from the child's physical and mental health to Kaitou Kidd.
Of course, Yuanzi mainly talks and Xiaolan listens.
"Actually, I originally planned to wear the real Dark Star, and then wait until Lord Kidd showed up, and then hug him tightly!"
Suzuki Sonoko looked infatuated, "In this case, maybe he will steal me and the gems away..."
"Should... probably not..." Mao Lilan smiled awkwardly.
Haha, I know it’s impossible even if I think about it.
Conan complained silently on the sidelines.
If the charlatan thief did this, it would not be theft, but kidnapping.
"Real?" Ye Gengyi grasped the key point and asked: "In other words, the genuine 'Pitch Black Star' at this anniversary celebration will also appear together with the fake one on display at the Rice Flower Museum?"
Fake?
Xiaolan looked at him in surprise: "Brother Gengyi, what's going on?"
A certain black man who had not participated in the previous activities was also very curious at this time, "Could it be that the reason why the phantom thief didn't take action last time was because he, like Brother Gengyi, saw that the pearl was fake?"
"It should be right." Ye Gengyi explained: "The warning letter clearly stated the words 'True Dark Star', I think that's what it means."
"Little Geng, how are you sure that the 'Pitch Black Star' we saw last time was a fake pearl?" Behind him, Kogoro Mouri asked.
He is the elder among them, the famous detective in the rumors!
You didn't even ask for the reason. What's going on with this attitude of unconditional trust in Ye Gengyi?
"Don't you know, Mr. Mori?"
Ye Gengyi deliberately guided the topic, "The luster life of pearls is only a few decades at most. If the pearls were made 60 years ago, they should not be so dazzling in color. Of course, I just said that the 'Pitch Black Star' is a fake." ’, it’s not that he is a fake pearl.”
"No...actually I..." Mouri Kogoro scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't know anything about this.
"Yuanzi, is what Brother Gengyi said true?" Xiaolan asked in a low voice.
Thanks to the fact that there were only a few of them present, if these words were heard by outsiders, it would most likely turn into news that the Suzuki Foundation was sensationalizing, exhibiting 'fake' pearls, and fooling the public.
"Hey, I didn't expect to be discovered by Brother Gengyi..."
Suzuki Sonoko didn't believe that there was such a person among her friends, and she admitted generously: "I can't help it. After all, that pearl has extraordinary significance to my family, and it cannot be measured by price, but...this time I have to deal with it." Lord Kidd’s strategy has been kept secret even from me for the time being.”
"I see. Will we see what happens after we get on the ship..."
Without getting any useful information, Ye Gengyi fell into thinking.
The requirement on the event card is to block, but the concept of blocking is very vague.
Although he did not remember the entire plot, he had the impression that the Phantom Thief activities that seemed to involve Conan's intervention ended in the failure of Phantom Thief Kidd's actions.
Even if he remembered a few pieces incorrectly, once the gems were confirmed by Kuroba Kaito and they were not the ones he wanted to find, they would still be returned intact.
Therefore, he had reason to suspect that the word 'prevent' on this event card was definitely not as simple as protecting the 'Dark Star' in the end.
He even believed that the judgment of the event card should be that after the 'Pitch Black Star' was taken away by Kuroba Kaito and successfully disappeared from public view, his mission would be declared a failure.
Anyway, this 'Pitch Black Star' is not the gem that Kuroba Kaito is looking for. As for that boy, if he wants to get addicted to stealing pearls, at worst, he will have to assist the opponent to steal once after he has the makeover card. .
As for this time...don't blame the 'godfather' for being cruel...
Thinking about it, Ye Geng began to debug the nanorobot silently.
Although it cannot remotely follow and take pictures like the drone equipped with the 'hot eye', it is enough on this fixed-space cruise ship.
...
Yokohama Port, in front of Queen Celisabeth's cruise ship.
After boarding the ship, each guest received an exquisite wooden box.
Next to him, Officer Zhongmori seemed to be transformed into an electronic eye, casting a scanning gaze on every guest.
"Hey, Nakamori, the people attending the party tonight are celebrities from all over the world. Don't act rashly!" Ochagi Shintaro kept calming Nakamori Ginzo's emotions.
"That's why that guy took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"
Nakamori Ginzo yelled while pointing to several exits of the cruise ship and said, "If you ask me, here, here, and here, we should install metal detection gates, and then my mobile troops will conduct inspections on every visitor. It’s safe to confirm your identity!”
"So...do you understand..." Ochagi Jintaro covered his forehead.
"I asked who yelled so loudly. It turns out that you useless policeman is here too..." Mouri Kogoro walked up and said with a smile.
"Cruel detective!" Nakamori Ginzo quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed the opponent's face fiercely, and pulled him from left to right. "Maybe Kaitou Kidd will disguise himself as you!"
"It hurts, it hurts! Let go..." Mouri Kogoro felt the pain and grabbed back unceremoniously, "I think you look like the thief in disguise!"
Two uncles who were nearly 40 years old started arguing with each other like no one else was watching.
After Ye Gengyi silently confirmed that the two police officers were not Kuroba Kaito, he walked straight towards the crowd.
The bustling guests were all taking the opportunity to chat with each other, but no one noticed the young man who stayed beside them for a few seconds and then left.
Not this one...
Neither is this...
This...uh...is really good at playing...
Ye Gengyi looked away from the young and old pair with a strange look on his face.
Continuing the investigation, after a close-range 'hot eye' scan, the scope was quickly narrowed down to two people.
