Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Sonoko glared at the "fake Kid" her mother had hired, clearly annoyed. This was the guy who had made her worry so much about Lord Kid for nothing. She then spoke with a half-smile:

"Mr. Sanada, would it be possible for a few of us to take a look?"

"The garden!"

Just as Suzuki Tomoko was about to speak, Chen Feng stopped her.

"Are you Ms. Sonoko Suzuki? Of course, please feel free to come in."

Chen Feng smiled and handed over a deck of cards, gesturing for the player to inspect them at will.

Sonoko didn't stand on ceremony. She divided the cards into three piles and handed them to "Chen Feng," who was actually Akemi in disguise, and Xiao Lan, who checked them carefully.

"Is there a problem, Miss Sonoko?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

Sonoko looked up and asked Ran and Akemi, who were standing next to her, for confirmation that there were no problems before returning the card to Chen Feng.

“No problem,” Sonoko said.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Ms. Sonoko."

Chen Feng took the cards, shuffled them casually, and then looked at the onlookers and spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now need thirteen audience members to assist me in my performance. Is there anyone willing to come forward and help?"

As Chen Feng's voice rang out, many people looked at each other, eager to try.

"We're here, we're here, we're here to help."

A chubby figure emerged from the crowd; it was Genta.

Behind him were Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Conan, and Ai.

The moment she stepped out of the crowd, Ai looked up and met Chen Feng's gaze. She nodded slightly, then quickly looked away.

"I want to come too."

Sonoko immediately raised her hand to sign up, and didn't forget to bring Ran and Akemi along.

Many others volunteered, and soon thirteen people were chosen: Sonoko, Ran, Akemi, Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Ai, Genta, Tomoko Suzuki, Kogoro Mouri, and three passersby.

Chen Feng divided the playing cards in his hand equally among the thirteen people present, with eleven people receiving four cards each and two people receiving five cards each.

After distributing the cards, Chen Feng looked at everyone who had received their cards and continued:

"This magic trick is called 'Mind Reading.' Now you can ask me any questions you like, asking who holds each card right now."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, many people showed expressions of shock.

"Ask...ask any card you want? That means I can ask about any card?"

One of the onlookers asked.

“Of course, it’s not just them; anyone else who is interested can ask questions,” Chen Feng replied.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sonoko, who had long disliked Chen Feng's current disguise as "Sanada Ichizo," spoke first:

Who has the [Club K]?

"If it's K of Clubs..."

Chen Feng's gaze swept over the thirteen people holding playing cards, and after a moment's thought, he raised his head firmly and spoke with a confident smile:

“My mind-reading ability tells me that this card is in Mrs. Tomoko’s hand.”

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, everyone present looked at Suzuki Tomoko.

Without further ado, Suzuki Tomoko drew the middle card from the five playing cards in her hand and showed it to everyone. It was the King of Clubs that Sonoko had mentioned earlier!

clap clap-

A round of applause broke out in the room.

"What about the 10 hearts?" Sonoko continued, unwilling to give up.

"That should be in..."

Chen Feng turned his gaze towards Mingmei and gestured, "This gentleman has it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mingmei, who was disguised as Chen Feng, raised her hand and took out the 10 Hearts, displaying it to everyone.

"Ace of Spades?"

"In the hand of the child next to you."

"Queen of Diamonds?"

"In the hands of Detective Mori."

Where's the 8 of Hearts?!

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be in your hands, right, Ms. Sonoko?"

Chen Feng remained calm and composed as he answered each of the garden's questions. For each question, a corresponding card was revealed, and he answered all of them correctly without exception.

This left Sonoko completely dumbfounded. She examined her deck of cards repeatedly but couldn't find anything wrong with them.

This made everyone present even more excited, especially the children, including Yuan Tai, who kept asking Chen Feng questions, but all of his answers were still correct.

"Methods for deceiving children."

Xiao Ai glanced at Chen Feng and muttered a cold, understated complaint.

Conan, who was standing to the side, clearly understood how Chen Feng had done it. Instead of asking questions, he continued to ponder with his head down.

"Judging from that thief's habits, he should have already infiltrated the ship by now, but... where is he?" Conan frowned deeply, but still couldn't get an answer.

Just then, Sonoko seemed to suddenly realize something and nudged Ran next to her with her elbow.

"Xiao Lan".

"Hmm?" Xiaolan turned her head in confusion.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Sonoko quickly lowered her voice and whispered something in Ran's ear.

As Sonoko finished speaking, Ran's expression changed from confusion to hesitation, and then quickly to compromise.

He quietly pulled a card from his hand and handed it to Sonoko from behind his back.

Then, urged on by Sonoko's gaze, Ran finally spoke:

"Mr. Sanada."

Hearing the voice, Chen Feng turned around: "Ah, it's Ms. Mori. Do you also want to ask a question?"

"um, yes."

Ran nodded, then glanced discreetly at Sonoko before slowly speaking, "I want to ask, who has the highest card in the deck, the Joker?"

"This..."

Upon hearing the question, Chen Feng did not rush to answer. Instead, his gaze swept back and forth between her and Sonoko, as if he was struggling with a decision.

"This should be..."

Chen Feng's gaze wavered, causing Sonoko to swallow slightly.

Fortunately, Chen Feng's gaze eventually settled on Xiao Lan.

"This card should be with you, Miss Mori, without any surprises, right?"

"Haha, you're wrong! I have the Joker card!"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Sonoko raised the cards in her hand high to show everyone, a victor's smile on her face.

……

Chapter 266 The Explosion of the Dark Star!

"The garden..."

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before tugging at Yuanzi's sleeve.

Sonoko turned her head with a puzzled look: "What's wrong?"

"Um...you...the cards in your hand..."

Ran hesitated for a moment, then simply pointed her finger in the direction of Sonoko's raised hand.

What happened to the cards in my hand?

Sonoko slowly lowered her hand, and when she saw the appearance of the playing cards in her hand, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Queen of Hearts? How could this be? I clearly just now..."

Sonoko looked on in surprise as she searched for the Joker card in her hand, but found nothing.

Just then, Chen Feng arrived in front of Sonoko. Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Chen Feng slowly took the Queen of Hearts from Sonoko's hand.

"Madam, sometimes what you see may not be the truth."

As he spoke, Chen Feng handed the card to Yuanzi again, and with a gentle shake, the entire card instantly transformed into a red rose.

"The Queen of Hearts is the Queen card, which suits you very well, Ms. Sonoko."

Chen Feng handed the roses to Yuanzi, who was still in a daze, then turned back to face everyone present, still wearing a confident smile, and slowly began to speak:

"And the Joker card, which represents the correct answer, is..."

Chen Feng raised his left hand and snapped his fingers lightly. The next second, an unusual sound came from the side pocket of Xiao Lan's clothes.

Before Xiaolan could react, a white dove with snow-white wings flew out of her left pocket, carrying an Oc card in its beak—the missing Joker card!

clap clap-

The crowd applauded and cheered continuously.

Chen Feng, the person involved, placed his hands in front of him and bowed gracefully to the crowd, seemingly taking a bow after his performance.

"The performance was good. I'll tell the finance department later and double your bonus."

With a satisfied smile on her face, Tomoko Suzuki stepped forward and patted Chen Feng on the shoulder.

She had only intended for the magician, Sanada Ichizo, to dress up as Kaito Kid to provoke the thief and liven up the atmosphere, but she never expected the performance to be so successful.
