Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Of course, as the wife of the current head of the Suzuki family, Tomoko Suzuki was not stingy and simply doubled Sanada Ichizo's appearance fee.

Chen Feng smiled and expressed his gratitude, even though the prize money had nothing to do with him.

After everyone dispersed, Chen Feng turned his gaze to Xiao Ai, who was still standing in the same spot.

Approaching her, I slowly knelt down and offered her a white lily.

"This is for you, my lovely little lady."

Chen Feng reached out and pinned the flower to Ai's pocket, then smiled and patted Ai's head.

Don't touch my head!

Xiao Ai lowered her voice and spoke, while reaching out to press down Chen Feng's mischievous hand to protect her hair from being further ravaged.

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled and withdrew his left hand.

At this moment, "Chen Feng," disguised as Akemi, stepped forward and took Ai's hand as Ai's parent.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Sanada," Akemi said.

Chen Feng pretended not to know her and started chatting: "It's alright, this young lady is very cute. I thought she was lost."

"Ai just likes to run around, I'm really sorry."

Mingmei bowed slightly in apology, and Chen Feng reached out to help her up.

In the instant they made contact, Mingmei subtly handed the remote control she had prepared to Chen Feng. Chen Feng then put the remote control away, and the two separated without anyone noticing anything amiss.

……

Time passed slowly.

Aside from Conan still wandering among the crowd, trying to find Kaito Kid, the more than 500 tourists at the scene were chatting and having a good time.

As the time drew closer, it was now around 5:20.

The sky outside was already beginning to lighten, and it was estimated that in about ten minutes, the sun would be visible on the horizon through the window.

"Dear passengers, our ship is scheduled to enter Tokyo Bay in about half an hour. Please prepare accordingly..."

As the announcement sounded, Conan's mood turned heavy again, signifying that Kid's time to act was approaching!

Not only him, but also a group of Metropolitan Police Department personnel, led by Officer Chaki, became alert and vigilant for any suspicious persons in the vicinity.

clatter--

A crisp sound of something falling to the floor rang out from the crowd.

Immediately following was a man's puzzled voice: "Huh? It's [Dark Star]! Who lost the [Dark Star] pearl from their collar?"

As he spoke, the man bent down to pick it up.

The sound instantly caught Conan's attention. The precise timing of the arrival of the notice made him keenly aware that something was amiss. Without thinking, he quickly spoke up to warn him:

"Don't touch that pearl!"

"Ok?"

The sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of many people, including the man who was about to bend down to pick up the pearl.

But it was too late.

With a loud "bang," the [Dark Star] pearl that had fallen to the ground suddenly exploded, followed by a soft bang and a large amount of white smoke that instantly billowed out.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"Where did that sound come from? What exploded?"

"It's...it's a [Dark Star] Pearl! The pearl exploded!"

"Huh? The pearl exploded?"

The crowd at the scene immediately stirred, but it was far from chaotic.

Seeing this, Chen Feng was not in a hurry. He took a sip of the red wine in his glass, then slowly stood up and walked towards Suzuki Tomoko.

He had already figured it out: among the more than 500 Dark Stars in the entire venue, only the one worn by Tomoko Suzuki herself, which had no luster whatsoever, was the only genuine one.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng continued pressing the buttons on the remote control with his hand in his pocket.

In an instant, many more dark star pearls rolled out of the ventilation ducts.

boom!

bang bang bang-

A series of explosions rang out from all directions of the hall.

Now everyone could see clearly that it was caused by the explosion of individual Dark Star Pearls!

"It's a pearl! The pearl will explode!"

The entire room erupted in chaos. Almost everyone panicked, frantically tearing off the "Dark Star" badges from their collars and throwing them away before rushing out of the hall. Even the efforts of Officer Chaki and the others to calm them down were to no avail.

The panicked crowd bumped into Suzuki Tomoko, who was wearing high heels, causing her to stagger and nearly fall. Fortunately, Chen Feng, disguised as "Sanada Ichizo," reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her.

"Are you alright, Madam?"

……

Chapter 267 The True Phantom Thief Detective

"I'm fine, thank you, Sanada."

Tomoko Suzuki gave Chen Feng a grateful look.

The chaos at the scene was not over yet. Black pearls continued to explode, emitting white smoke. Tourists at the scene were in a panic, trying to run outside.

Officer Chaki and Officer Nakamori were trying to calm the crowd down, and the scene was in complete chaos.

At this moment, Ran, Sonoko, and the others also gathered around.

Seeing that Suzuki Tomoko had almost fallen, Sonoko quickly went over to her and asked with concern, "Mom, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, thankfully Mr. Sanada is here," Tomoko Suzuki said with a smile.

"No need to be so polite, Madam." Chen Feng nodded gently in acknowledgment.

Conan's gaze never left the people present. He placed his hand on his chin, his eyes sweeping over Tomoko Suzuki's collar, and suddenly spoke:

"Hey? Aunt Tomoko? Did you throw away the black pearl on your collar like the tourists did?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the voice, Tomoko Suzuki instinctively lowered her head. The moment her gaze fell on her collar, her expression changed drastically.

"Ah! My...my Dark Star!! My Dark Star has been stolen!"

"what!"

Everyone present was shocked to hear this.

"really!"

Conan thought to himself, then seemed to have guessed something, a smile appearing on his lips. He thought to himself, "I know who you are, Phantom Thief Kid!"

Officer Chaki didn't have time to think about anything else and rushed over here with two people.

Kogoro Mouri followed behind and stood in front of Tomoko Suzuki. He placed his hand on his chin and pondered for a moment: "So the Dark Star on Mrs. Tomoko's body is the real thing."

At this moment, Suzuki Tomoko was no longer as calm and collected as before. She anxiously observed everything around her, trying to find traces of the dark star.

"Mrs. Tomoko, please don't worry, our police force will help you find Dark Star as soon as possible!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Tomoko Suzuki quickly thanked her, even though she knew the chances of finding it were slim, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

What if... what if Phantom Thief Kid gets caught?

Officer Chaki immediately ordered: "All tourists, please undergo inspection now. No one is allowed to move..."

"and many more!"

Two voices rang out at the same time.

One of the voices was naturally Conan's, and the other...

Conan looked at "Chen Feng" behind him with surprise. It was obvious that the other voice was shouted by him!

Officer Chaki, whose words had been interrupted, frowned immediately. His frown deepened when he saw it was a child who had interrupted him. However, his expression relaxed again when he saw "Chen Feng" speak, and he asked:

"Mr. Chen, have you made any discoveries?"

Chen Feng, disguised as Akemi, slowly stepped forward with a confident smile on his lips and continued to speak in Chen Feng's voice: "Officer Chaki, I think I should know who Phantom Thief Kid is."

"what?"

Everyone present was taken aback and looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

Conan, in particular, looked completely surprised.

He had only just confirmed who Phantom Thief Kid was. Could it be that Chen Feng had figured it out as well? Conan wondered to himself.

Upon hearing Akemi's words, Officer Chaki hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, who exactly did Phantom Thief Kid impersonate? Was he at the scene?"

"of course."

Mingmei imitated Chen Feng's face and spoke confidently.

At the same time, he silently exchanged a glance with Chen Feng, who was disguised as "Sanada Ichizo" in the crowd. After receiving a signal from the other party, he continued to speak:

"Actually, the meaning of pearl has always been lady or moon, and among all the tourists on the ship, only Mrs. Tomoko has the word 'moon' in her name."

Furthermore, the luster of pearls diminishes gradually after they are produced, eventually losing its shine completely after several decades. Of all the black pearls present, only the Dark Star pearl worn by Lady Tomoko was dull and lifeless.

Mingmei recited the words Chen Feng had taught her before the operation.

At this moment, she was also very shocked. It seemed that Chen Feng had known all along that Suzuki Tomoko had made many fake Dark Stars to deceive others, and that Suzuki Tomoko would not give this priceless black pearl to anyone, but would choose to wear it herself.

All of this seemed to have been foreseen, which greatly surprised Akemi.

But considering the current situation, they had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and continue speaking as Professor Chen Feng had previously instructed.
