Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

On the other side, at Longwei Transport, Makarov, who had previously been worried about the development of the shipbuilding industry, now almost dislocated his joints while laughing at every gathering. After all, it was no secret that his two daughters were often close to Li Xuan.

Not only has the transportation route of Longwei Transportation suddenly expanded several times, but many shipbuilding talents with excellent skills and craftsmanship have also emerged. In just a few months, they have made a name for themselves in the shipbuilding industry.

There are also several other merchant alliances that have suddenly grown in size. They all have one common factor, that is, Qianjin has some relationship with Li Xuan. Some of their descendants are in Kyoto High School and know some simple information about Li Xuan.

Those who have only male descendants decided to check the relatives’ website after returning home today.

The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening.

When the time came, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became a little tense. Many people were watching to see when Kaito Kid, who was very mysterious not only to Sakura but also internationally, would appear and how he would get the real Black Star.

The people from the Metropolitan Police Department were divided into many places at this time. After analysis by Kogoro Mori and others, several locations of Kid's letter were roughly divided out. The first was the beginning paragraph, when the moon separated the two people. After Conan's "unintentional" speculation, Kogoro Mori also got the meaning of Kid's words that when the moon and the sun in the sky passed by the artificial satellite, it seemed as if the artificial satellite was separated in vision.

This fits with Kidd's first paragraph.

Then comes the second paragraph, under the name of the Black Star, which Conan and the others have not thought of yet.

But about the third paragraph, about being invited to the waves, Kogoro Mori and the others guessed that it was related to water. In addition, the banquet venue of the Suzuki Group was next to the Beika Museum, where a tributary flowed into the sea, so some people were left here.

Then, when the agreed time arrived, no one appeared in the expected places. Instead, there was a slight explosion in the banquet, followed by a large amount of thick smoke.

"Cough! Cough!" Everyone present covered their mouths and noses and started coughing.

"Everyone, don't panic. This white smoke is just normal smoke and does not cause any harm to the human body." Suzuki Tomoko did not panic. She put on a mask and came to the stage to amplify her voice with a microphone.

"Oh, my Black Star is gone!" someone exclaimed. The Black Star that was originally in their hand was gone. Some people even found it in their pocket, but it was also gone.

"On the stage, on the stage, the dark star in the display cabinet is gone." The smoke quickly dissipated when the staff brought a hair dryer, and then someone immediately discovered that the dark star that was originally in the display cabinet was gone.

At the Metropolitan Police Department, Juzo Megure, Kogoro Mori, and Conan stayed at the banquet. Upon hearing the information, they immediately ran to the display cabinet. Juzo Megure took out the walkie-talkie and began to give orders, "Block all the passages to the banquet and don't let any suspicious people in or out."

The Metropolitan Police Department then began searching for people who were not on the invitation list.

However, after searching for nearly half an hour, the people from the Metropolitan Police Department found that all the people inside were on the invitation list. This was very strange, as the explosion and smoke came very suddenly and no one saw who caused it.

Tomoko Suzuki walked over and said to Jusan Megure, "Officer Megure, do you have any information about Mr. thief? Officer Megure, we at the Suzuki Group trust you very much, so we at the Metropolitan Police Department have entrusted the security of the venue to you. We hope you won't let us down."

Faced with the questioning from the head of the Suzuki Group, Officer Megure was a little embarrassed. He wiped the sweat off his face and then said, "Please rest assured, the Metropolitan Police Department will not let you down," Megure Jusan said seriously.

"I hope so. The hint I can give you is that the real Dark Star is still inside the banquet," Tomoko Suzuki also gave her own hint.

After hearing this, Megure Jusan and the others fell into deep thought.

Miwako Sato and Officer Shiratori, who came with Megure Jusan to carry out this mission, are determined to catch Kid. "Captain Megure, according to the surveillance footage at the entrances and exits, no one has left the banquet venue yet. This means that Kid should have mixed into the banquet, but we don't know where he is hiding. We should first look for Kid's whereabouts."

After pondering for a long time, Conan saw the person shaking the camera and the live broadcast of the banquet, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Banquets of consortiums like the Suzuki Group or exhibitions of the Black Star are usually broadcast live by specially licensed TV stations, and tonight the one responsible for the live broadcast is BS TV station here at Sakura. After "inadvertently" saying that the radio waves were also prompted by Hatao, Kogoro Maori immediately found the cameraman of BS TV station and asked about it.

The BS radio station's radio waves are transmitted from 45 degrees south to west, with an elevation angle of 42.3 degrees, and next to the banquet venue is the Rice Flower Museum.

From the perspective of the Rice Flower Museum, the location is – the rooftop of the Beihu Hotel!

"The roof of the Beido Hotel." After getting the clue, everyone in the Metropolitan Police Department immediately ran towards the direction of the Beido Hotel, because this hotel was also next to today's banquet, and its roof was a very suitable place to land.

Kaito Kidd once used a paraglider as a tool to achieve the purpose of landing in the air and escaping.

After some people from the Metropolitan Police Department left, the people in the banquet started discussing again. This time their topics were mostly the same, that is, where is this Kaito Kidd now, and whether the real Black Star has been taken away.

The people from the Metropolitan Police Department looked so anxious, as if the Black Star had been taken away, and they were anxious to catch the criminal, but on the other hand, the owner of the Black Star, Suzuki Tomoko, looked calm, and did not look like she had lost anything.

"Bang", a slight explosion was heard again in the banquet, and a large amount of white smoke appeared again.

"Ah!" Li Xuan had been chatting with the Toosaka Rin sisters about other things, then he saw white smoke filling the field again, and then a familiar voice of panic appeared behind him.

Chapter 318 Who is impersonating whom?

Leila did not feel the pain of falling to the ground as she had imagined. Instead, she seemed to be enveloped by a warm breath, and there was a male voice in her ears that she had heard a few hours ago.

"Are you okay, Ms. Leila?" Li Xuan hugged Leila, who had lost her balance, and helped her up. He looked at her gentle face and spoke softly.

In close contact, Leila, who was hugged by Li Xuan, was stimulated by the passive power of the Origin Dao Sutra on Li Xuan. Her favorability, which had been rising continuously, instantly reached the maximum. Her face suddenly turned red, and her eyes became a little moist as she looked at Li Xuan. How could someone in this world be so perfect?

The feeling transmitted back from his hand made Li Xuan nod in his heart unconsciously. Lucy inherited everything from Leila, and even took a step forward.

Then he saw that Leila did not respond to him. His eyes moved, and he saw the red clouds on her pretty face and the changing watery eyes. He reacted immediately. Oh no, the Origin Sutra was full.

Before he could say anything, his neck felt tight and his mouth felt hot, and then Leila in his arms pushed him away in panic.

Leila was in a panic at this moment. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt an impulse in her heart. She hugged Li Xuan's neck and kissed him. Then she reacted and immediately pushed Li Xuan away in panic.

But because of her panic, Leila lost her balance again and was pulled by Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan held her hand and her body leaned towards Li Xuan unconsciously. The impulse appeared again. Leila's breathing became heavier, but she still calmed herself down and pushed Li Xuan away.

Leila said a little flustered, "Li, Li Xuan, I'm sorry, I don't know why this happened..."

Li Xuan put his finger on her delicate lips and said, "Don't say anything, Ms. Leila, I understand this situation. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Because the field was covered in white smoke and the staff had not yet brought back the hair dryer, the Toosaka sisters only saw Li Xuan turn around and seemed to support someone who was about to fall. From the voice, it seemed to be Leila, the mother of their good friend Lucy. As for the two people's previous actions, the two who did not use internal energy did not notice it.

"Xuan-kun, is Aunt Leila okay?" Toosaka Rin spoke with concern in her tone.

The internal energy surged slightly in his hands, and a breeze flowed, quickly blowing away the white smoke near the few people, and Li Xuan and Leila were seen.

Leila's face returned to normal at this time, and there was a little panic in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and responded to Toosaka Rin with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Rin, Li Xuan and I are fine, it's just that someone walked past me quickly and bumped into me, and I almost fell, and then Li Xuan supported me."

Leila explained what happened just now, and when she saw the position of her wrist, she suddenly made a surprised sound, "Huh!? Where is the black star on my hand?"

"It's Kidd. The thief that Aunt Tomoko mentioned is still in the banquet hall and hasn't left. This white smoke is his means of creating visual confusion and then taking action. He is looking for the real Black Star," Toosaka Rin reacted immediately. In addition, after the previous white smoke, the Black Stars in the hands of many people disappeared, so it was easy to infer the current situation.

"It seems that this thief has tricked the people from the Metropolitan Police Department." Toosaka Sakura looked around and began to tell people about the disappearance of the black star on her body. She knew that the place where the Metropolitan Police Department was going would not yield any results, after all, the real thief was right there.

...

Megure Juzo, Mori Kogoro and their group hurried to the roof of the Haido Hotel, where they found several obvious footprints, which were no more than an hour old. They deduced that Kidd must have landed here. While they were preparing to search, they received a call from someone who stayed behind at the banquet venue.

"What, Kid has done it again!?" When Megure Juzo heard the news, he could only take his men back immediately to maintain order and entrusted the task of investigation to Mouri Kogoro.

So in the end, the only people left on the rooftop of the Haido Hotel were Kogoro Mouri, Conan, Miwako Sato who was left behind by Inspector Megure, and Ran who followed them out of concern.

However, after searching for a while, they found that there were no traces left except footprints on the ground, and no strangers appeared in the hotel's surveillance footage.

The few people who had no gain had to go back to the banquet. At this time, Kogoro Mouri's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Megure Juzo.

"Hello, Officer Megure, there are no traces left here except for the footprints that have not been fully confirmed," Kogoro Mori said concisely.

The leader Megure Jusan on the other end of the phone said anxiously, "Brother Mori, come here quickly. Kid has attacked again. I have asked the Metropolitan Police Department to narrow the blockade and they are searching with all their might. Just now I saw Kid disguised as you, and now he has disappeared again. Come back quickly, otherwise you will become a suspect."

When Kogoro Mouri heard that Kidd actually had the ability to disguise himself, he was immediately shocked and took Xiaolan and the others back.

After returning to the venue, Kogoro Mouri immediately found Megure Juzo. He wanted to prove that he was not there. When Megure Juzo saw Kogoro Mouri coming, he asked, "Brother Mouri, you're back? Did you find anything?"

Kogoro Mouri responded to Megure Jusan subconsciously, "Of course I'm back. Didn't you, Officer Megure, call me and ask me to come back quickly? Where is that guy who pretended to be me?"

"Impersonating Brother Mori? Who is that? And I didn't make any phone calls," Megure Jusan was a little confused.

Conan had been following and when he heard this, he had an idea. Oh no! The person who had just called Kogoro Mouri was an impostor, and the person being impersonated was Megure Juzo.

"Inspector Megure, is the Dark Star still there?" At this time, Kogoro Mouri also realized that he was being tricked and immediately asked the key question.

Megure Jusan nodded and said, "From what we have seen so far, the Black Star should not be lost."

Upon hearing that the Black Star was still there, Kogoro Mouri breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became angry again, as he, a former capable man in the Metropolitan Police Department, was fooled by a thief.

So he told Megure Jusan, who was looking at him with a strange expression, that he was called back by a phone call.

"Why did Kidd call Brother Mori back here?" Megure Juzo fell into deep thought.

Conan quickly figured out the reason and blurted out, "Because there is something left by Kid on the rooftop of the Haido Hotel, and this thing is very important, so he wants to send all the people there away."

Megure Juzo immediately understood. This could explain why Mori Kogoro was sent away, because once Mori Kogoro left, the remaining people would follow him back.

Chapter 319 Where are my things! ?

"Hurry, let's go back to the Haido Hotel, Kid should still be there now," Kogoro Mouri rushed out in an instant, followed by Conan, and Miwako Sato and Officer Shiratori followed behind with their men.

This time, Xiaolan did not follow. With so many people going there, if Kaito Kidd was really there, they could definitely catch him.

Xiaolan looked at the situation at the banquet and saw Yuanzi waving to her, so she temporarily gave up her plan to go to Li Xuan.

At this moment, a young male voice came from the loudspeaker in the venue, "Hello, can you hear me? I am Kaito Kidd, and thank you Suzuki Group for the Black Star."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen black stars fell from the sky. When they were about to reach the ground, they exploded and white smoke appeared again.

Xiaolan waved her hand to dispel the smoke in front of her, and walked over to the place she was just now. When she arrived, she found herself in the corridor. When she was about to go back, a male voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Beautiful lady, may I borrow your identity?"

The sound of whistling wind and the smell of ethanol.

Xiaolan's body tensed up instantly, and then she reflexively dodged the towel with a strong smell of ethanol that was about to touch her face, and saw a man holding the towel and wearing a mask with a white beard.

Although the ethanol did not touch Xiaolan's face, a few drops of the large amount of ethanol still fell onto Xiaolan's dress. Xiaolan felt this and her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned. This dress was specially customized for her by Li Xuan at the request of Gurefia.

"Are you Kaito Kidd? You actually want to attack me? Take my punch first," Xiaolan was a little angry and was hit by Li Xuan's readjusted karate.

The whistling sound of the fist proves that the speed of this punch should not be underestimated.

Kidd, who was opposite Xiaolan, saw that his sneak attack failed, and that Xiaolan, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, quickly counterattacked, and his fist almost became an afterimage in Kidd's eyes.

His heart was pounding and his sense of crisis was surging. Kidd dodged Xiaolan's punch by bending his body like an iron bridge.

"Boom", the reinforced concrete wall, which was nearly half a meter thick, was punched through by Xiaolan. When Kidd saw this, his eyelids under the mask twitched and his face turned green.

Kidd dodged Xiaolan's attack with a backflip. Without waiting for Xiaolan to make any further moves, he threw a smoke bomb on the ground and thick white smoke appeared again.

When Xiaolan saw that her vision was blocked, she let the internal energy flow in her hands and waved to disperse some of the smoke. She found that Kidd had disappeared. There were golden shadows flowing in her eyes, and she did not notice anyone around her.

Seeing Kidd escape, Xiaolan patted the concrete debris on her fist. Li Xuan's internal energy strengthened her body, and she didn't have to use much strength just now to break through the half-meter thick wall. With the help of the internal energy, Xiaolan quickly found Yuanzi in the smoke.

After a few minutes, the smoke was dissipated and Xiaolan came to Sonoko and said, "Sonoko, I was ambushed just now. I wonder if it was the Kaito Kidd."

Then Mouri Ran saw her friend looking at her with strange eyes. Ran checked her clothes and found nothing wrong except a few drops of ethanol on them. "What's wrong, Sonoko? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Xiaolan, you just said this, no need to repeat, I heard it," Sonoko explained speechlessly.

Hearing what Sonoko said, Xiaolan was stunned, "Ah? Did I say that? But I just came to see you."

"What!? Was that the Xiaolan before?" Sonoko was stunned by Xiaolan's words, and then immediately realized something.

"Oh no, mother," Sonoko had just finished speaking when Suzuki Tomoko, who was not far away, screamed and then fell down. She was supported by the people next to her so that she did not have a close contact with the ground.

Sonoko didn't have time to explain to Xiaolan, so she reached out and pulled Xiaolan towards Suzuki Tomoko, shouting as she walked, "Mother, Kidd is by your side!!"
