Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 35 Kidd appears
"I think you have no respect for me at all." Miyano Shiho pressed Ai down and said in a flat tone.

"I was wrong, Mr. Miyano." An He admitted his mistake decisively, "But this is also a kind of recognition of beauty, right?"

He argued: "Your temperament is quite consistent with that 'dark night star', and Miyano teacher's name 'Shiho Shiho' is reversed to 'hoshi star', right?"

Miyano Shiho looked at him speechlessly. She really didn't know what was wrong with this guy's mouth. He could even come up with wordplay like this easily when he was talking nonsense.

“This can’t be the real thing.”

Miyano Shiho scratched Ai's neck, causing it to raise its head comfortably, revealing the black pearl brooch around its neck, the surface of the pearl flashing a glossy luster.

"Pearls are not made of an indestructible substance. Even if they are carefully cared for, it is impossible for them to retain this level of luster after 60 years of erosion."

If she was not sure that what she had in her hand could not be the real thing, no matter how brave she was, she would not hang such a valuable item on Xiao Ai's collar as a decoration.

There was some noise coming from not far away, as if several distinguished guests had joined the conversation. One of them, a young man with pigtails, took out a handkerchief from his upper pocket, picked up a pearl brooch from the small box through the handkerchief, and pinned it on his collar.

"People who know a little about pearls will try to avoid touching them directly with their hands to prevent damage from the oil. But obviously, not everyone on this ship today knows this. If the real pearl falls into the hands of these people, it might be better for Kaito Kidd to steal it. Moreover, they can't be sure who Kaito Kidd will disguise himself as."

Miyano Shiho had already understood the key to this link, so she treated the brooches she was given as she pleased.

"Except for the one on Mrs. Suzuki's chest, I can't imagine the whereabouts of the real 'Dark Night Star'. What she meant by the most suitable one is probably the 'Moon' in her name. The only thing that best matches the 'Star' is the 'Moon'."

It is always pleasant and relaxing to communicate with knowledgeable and wise people.

"It's very clear." An He sat down and put his small box next to him. He had never opened it and naturally had no intention of wearing it.

An He took another glass of wine from a passing waiter. Just as he was about to take a sip, he heard Miyano Shiho's somewhat cold voice.

"You like wine?"

After a slight pause, An He put down the cup and shook his head: "Just a taste, I don't have the habit of drinking."

Then he pushed the glass further away to support his words.

Miyano Shiho's face looked better. Although she didn't know why she suddenly cared about whether this guy drank or not, her mood did subtly improve after seeing this scene.

Maybe they don't want to see him gradually become like "them".

In this organization that uses wine names as code names, almost every code name member will gradually begin to get used to the wine they represent, either because they simply like it or because they hope to guess the meaning of the code name from the wine.

It was as if she was the only outlier, an outlier who obtained a code name as a scientific researcher but never followed the crowd.

A "Sherry" who can't drink alcohol.

Maybe she just wanted to keep the title "Miyano-sensei" in addition to the code name "Sulli".

This would give her a real sense of being "alive", even if it was just a ridiculous illusion.

"Everyone! I'm Chaki from the Metropolitan Police Department!"

The speaker connected to the microphone on the podium emitted a shrill buzz, followed by a rough male voice, pulling her back to reality from her thoughts.

On the stage, Inspector Shintaro Chaki of the Second Investigation Section was speaking with a microphone.

"I think everyone has heard that the damn thief has sneaked onto this ship and is eyeing this 'Dark Night Star'!"

"This guy is extremely good at disguise. He will research the other party's information beforehand. Not only can he imitate a face that is 100% similar, he can also disguise the other party's voice and personality. He is a genius who cannot be taken lightly!"

"In fact, maybe he is already among you now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the guests in the audience began to whisper to each other, and there seemed to be some commotion.

Chaki Shintaro cleared his throat and coughed a few times to focus everyone's attention back: "According to the duties of the Metropolitan Police Department, they should thoroughly investigate everyone, one by one."

"But this time the situation is special, so we don't need to use such a disappointing and inefficient method."

Everyone looked at him curiously, wanting to hear his way of saying it without spoiling the fun. "We use code words!"

"Please team up with your friends one by one and choose a codeword that only you know. This way, even if Kaito Kid sneaks in, he won't be able to change his identity at will, which will greatly restrict his ability to appear and disappear at will."

This was indeed a good idea, and people recognized the police chief's wisdom, and the groups began to whisper to each other.

"Mr. Miyano, do you have any favorite code words?"

An He peeled a grape, put it in his mouth, asked the cold girl beside him, while looking at Xiao Ai in her arms, eager to try.

"We don't need that kind of thing." Miyano Shiho silently turned sideways and moved the little Ai in her arms further away.

"Don't you need it?"

"unnecessary."

"Okay." An He didn't force it. Seeing that Xiao Ai was not tempted, he withdrew his hand with some regret and enjoyed it himself.

He threw another peeled grape into his mouth.

Hey.

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out.

"Wha, what?!"

"What happened?"

Nakamori Ginzo's roar rang out in the darkness: "Hey! What's going on in the generator room?!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The flamboyant and wild laughter echoed throughout the banquet hall.

The only beam of light hit the corner of the ceiling of the rostrum. Flocks of white doves appeared out of thin air and scattered away. A figure as white as the moon emerged from the flock of pigeons. She was dressed in white and illuminated by the light, which made her particularly conspicuous in the dark banquet hall.

"There's no need for code words."

"What!!" Inspector Nakamori looked at the person who came and said angrily.

"Phantom Thief Kidd!!"

Kidd sneered, and a huge black orb appeared in his hand.

"Because the 'Dark Night Star' that you have been protecting so heavily has been obtained by me."

"How is this possible?!" Chaki Shintaro was horrified. How could the authentic artifact, which even the police had not yet located, be found so easily by this guy?
"Wow, it's worthy of Mr. Kidd!" Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up as she thought about how to climb onto the stage to take a photo with her idol.

"Haha, what a troublesome thief"

Mrs. Suzuki chuckled, slowly opened her handbag, and took out a black object from it.

"It seems I have no choice but to teach you a lesson."

boom!
Bang bang bang! !

There were continuous explosions and several flashes of fire.

Several flowers of blood burst out of Kaito Kidd's body. He covered his chest weakly and fell from the wall.

The crowd was in an uproar.
