Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 117 111. Making a Nest
Hayashi Ryoma and Suzuki Sonoko immediately agreed on the idea of using Kaito Kid to attract visitors to the art museum.

The only disagreement between the two was that Suzuki Sonoko preferred to find a few more famous detectives and then directly arrest Kaito Kid on the spot.

This is not out of a sense of justice, but simply out of fans' admiration for an idol.

Hayashi Ryoma estimated that Suzuki Sonoko was probably ready to go up to Kaito Kid after he was captured and say in person, "Mr. Kid, I am your fan."

Although Lin Longma also wanted to witness this scene with his own eyes, he had to stick to the principle of doing things to the best of his ability.

If Kaito Kidd is caught in the art museum, doesn't that mean it's a one-time deal?

If a "star" does not work regularly, his fans will drop very quickly.

This is especially true for Kaito Kid as a wild idol.

Maybe he can get a lot of response when he takes action now, but if he doesn't appear for a long time, he will definitely lose a large number of fans.

There may not be many people coming to the art museum to check in by then.

Therefore, Lin Longma recommends sustainable fishing.

Don't catch Kaito Kid all at once, but wait until the evil spirit of Kaito Kid blows into the art museum.

In this way, not only will the soon-to-open Suzuki Museum of Contemporary Art have a steady stream of customers.

In the future, even if the Suzuki family plans to open an art gallery somewhere else, they can use the same method to get Kaito Kidd to be a free spokesperson.

In the end, Hayashi Ryoma and Suzuki Sonoko unanimously decided to let the two most powerful people in the Suzuki Group make the final choice.
.
"President Lin, my daughter's willfulness has caused you trouble." Unlike Mrs. Suzuki, who looks smart and capable, and looks like a strong woman.

President Suzuki looks cheerful and like a good guy.

Lin Longma doesn't think that a good guy can sit firmly on the position of chairman of the Suzuki Group, even though it is Mrs. Suzuki who appears more in the spotlight in the Suzuki family.

"That's nothing, President Suzuki. In our line of work, we have to satisfy our employers."

Lin Longma shook the hand that President Suzuki handed over and said with a smile.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to Lin Longma whether Kaito Kid was caught in the art museum or succeeded.

The most important thing is to get in touch with the Suzuki family.

Now that Suzuki Sonoko can bring him to the Suzuki family’s manor today, Lin Ryoma’s ultimate goal has been half completed.

"President Suzuki, Mrs. Suzuki, if you think this plan is feasible, then please decide whether we should find more famous detectives to help guard the gems?"

After a brief greeting, Lin Longma asked about the business. He did not mention whether it was possible to catch Kaito Kidd on the spot.

If President Suzuki and his wife really choose to capture Kaito Kid on the spot, if they catch him, it means that Miss Suzuki has foresight and is in control of the situation.

If they can't catch him, then it means those famous detectives are just in name only and can't even catch a petty thief.

Lin Longma never promises anything he can't do, no matter who he is facing.

After hearing what Lin Longma said, President Suzuki and Mrs. Suzuki looked at each other, and finally President Suzuki spoke:
"President Lin, logically my husband and I should support our daughter, but..."

Chairman Suzuki still looked cheerful, and continued, "But my brother, the group's consultant, Jirokichi, has some issues with this Kaito Kid.

My brother has a very strong character, if possible, let's follow your way, President Lin, right?"

"Okay, President Suzuki, I will start preparing now. There is one more thing."

If you want to fish, you must first prepare bait. Of course, most fishing sages need to prepare more. Now it is known that the gem is a special attack weapon against Kaito Kidd. If you want to carry out Hayashi Ryoma's plan, the Suzuki family must come up with a gem to catch Kaito Kidd.

"Gemstones, let me think about it." President Suzuki thought for a moment, then tapped his palm:

"President Lin, I actually have a very suitable gem here!"

President Suzuki waved to the butler behind him, signaling him to go to the treasury of Suzuki Manor and take out the gems.

Soon the butler came back with a jewelry box of medium size, handed it to President Suzuki, and stepped aside.

President Suzuki opened the jewelry box, saw the things inside, nodded slightly, then put it on the coffee table in front of him and pushed it in front of Lin Ryoma.

"Is this a black pearl? Black pearls of this size are really rare." Lin Longma praised subconsciously.

But to be honest, this pigeon egg-sized black pearl is not that impressive in Lin Longma's opinion.

The black pearl has lost its original luster, which proves that this black pearl has been in the hands of the Suzuki family for many years.

Perhaps in an ordinary family, this thing can be regarded as a family heirloom, but for the Suzuki Group, this thing is simply too ordinary.

"It's called the Black Star, and it's a family heirloom of our Suzuki family." As if seeing what Lin Ryoma was thinking, President Suzuki introduced it to Lin Ryoma with a smile.

In fact, precious jewelry always comes with stories, and these stories are also part of the value of these jewelry.

The same is true of the dark star before us.

According to President Suzuki, this black star is a black pearl that the ancestors of the Suzuki family accidentally obtained.

The Suzuki family was not so wealthy at the time, and it was not until they obtained the "Black Star" that they began to prosper.

From then on, it became unstoppable and has now become the leading conglomerate in the entire island country.

"The sixtieth anniversary of the establishment of the consortium will be here soon. I think this gem should be just the right bait."

All I can say is that President Suzuki is very courageous. This "Black Star" is simply a thing that suppresses the fortune of the Suzuki family.

This thing can be used as bait. No wonder he can become the chairman of the Suzuki Group.

"I understand, President Suzuki. I will make some arrangements next, and I hope you will cooperate.

It will then depend on whether Kaito Kidd will take the bait."

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you, President Lin."
.
After leaving the Suzuki family, Hayashi Ryoma contacted some jewelry magazines through the Isshinkai and invited them to do an exclusive interview at the Suzuki family.

The content of the interview is naturally the dark star that symbolizes the fortune of the Suzuki Group.

Fishing, fishing, you have to let the fish see the edible bait and smell the scent of the bait, right?

If Kaito Kidd only loves jewelry, then jewelry magazine is something he would not miss.

In fact, according to analysis within the Isshinkai, 75% of the way Kaito Kid chooses his targets comes from reports in jewelry magazines.

If the Dark Star itself is a bait used to lure Kaito Kidd, then these magazines reporting on the Dark Star are just bait.

Sure enough, hard work pays off. On a calm afternoon, a warning letter appeared on the dining table of the Suzuki family without anyone noticing.
