I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

Akai Mary always speaks so mercilessly.

"No one knows why Kaito Kidd suddenly disappeared eight years ago, and no one knows why Kaito Kidd suddenly reappeared eight years later. No one can explain this clearly, except for Him."

The blonde girl said as she glanced up at someone behind her.

"But since you have already met that Kaito Kidd tonight and had a good chat with him, I guess you have already arranged a time for your next meeting, right?"

"Ah."

Serabelle nodded subtly.

"April 19th, Yokohama Port, Sally Beth."

Akai Mary said "oh".

"Is it Miss Suzuki's family again?"

"……Correct."

"Ah."

Chapter 56: Sera Big Cat~

The invitation for the Sally Beth voyage was delivered three days after Kaito Kid's April Fools' Day special performance.

From the outside, the invitation letter looked nothing special. It was just a very exquisitely made letter. The seal of the envelope was stamped with the Suzuki Group's logo with wax and lightly embellished with gold powder.

Inside was a piece of good quality letter paper. There was not much content on the paper, and it could even be said to be quite concise. It just had the names of the people invited and the time of departure written neatly in Japanese, and at the end was the handwritten signature of Shiro Suzuki, chairman of the Suzuki Group.

So the ordinary time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On April 19th, at 4:30 in the afternoon, the setting sun shone with a hint of red on the land of Tokyo.

In the Beihu Hotel suite, Serabelle was changing into clothes for the dinner.

After all, this is an invitation-only dinner hosted by the Suzuki Group. In theory, those who receive the invitation do not need to show their status by wearing a neat suit. However, most of these people are government officials, group executives or celebrities. They have to pay attention to their image when they are out, so they have to wear suits that are nice-looking and graceful but tight and not comfortable enough.

But Serabelle didn't want to stand out too much, so she also changed into a suit.

The most important thing is that he has a good figure, so he doesn’t feel tight even when wearing a suit.

The only thing that gave him a headache was carrying weapons.

Needless to say, after Kidd issued such a warning on April Fools' Day, it is expected that the Yokohama Port will be fully guarded tonight, and you may have to go through three or five levels of security checks and body searches to get on the ship.

If I go there with my clothes full of razor blades as I did in the past, I'm afraid I'll be stopped by the police before I even step onto the boarding ladder. Once I open my clothes, I'll see the cold light flashing inside. I'll probably be put on a silver bracelet on the spot, no matter how close I am to Inspector Megure.

After a little thought, Serabelle quickly walked to the bed, opened the bedside table and started searching in the drawer.

At the same time, outside the room, Masumi Sera, who lived in the room opposite Akai Mari, walked in.

As the temperature rose and summer approached, she wore cooler clothes in the hotel suite, wearing only a sports vest and a pair of denim shorts, revealing her wheat-colored arms and a pair of long legs that were toned from years of exercise.

Seeing Serabelle looking for something beside the bedside table, the tiger-toothed girl tilted her head curiously.

"What are you looking for, Bernie-chan?"

"Hmm, nothing..."

Hearing the noise behind her, Serabelle quickly stuffed the small umbrella used by her and Akai Mari into the bottom of the drawer to avoid being seen, and at the same time accurately took out what she was looking for.

"found it."

"What is this...a pencil?"

"Well, metal products are probably difficult to bring on board. In comparison, pencils are more convenient, and they can be used to deal with emergencies."

"Which way or more."

Masumi Sera drew out the tone and nodded to show that he understood.

Then when she saw Serabelle turning around in a neat suit, her eyes lit up.

"Wow~ Bernie-chan looks so handsome in this outfit! Come give me a hug, Wuhu——!"

Without giving the latter any chance to agree or refuse, the girl with tiger teeth took two quick steps, jumped up, spread her arms and legs, and hugged him like an octopus, and even put her head close to his and rubbed his face against his.

With both legs and one arm tied up by her, Serabelle had no choice but to use her only free hand to turn the pencil in her hand over, holding the tip of the pencil in her hand with the butt of the pencil facing forward, and tapped the tiger-toothed girl's head twice like hitting a wooden fish.

"That's enough. Come down quickly. You're going to wrinkle your clothes."

"Hey hey hey..."

With a silly smile, Sera Masumi not only did not let go, but hugged her even tighter.

Rub and stick~

Just then, someone coughed lightly at the door of the room.

The blonde British girl walked in and frowned slightly when she saw the two people hugging each other by the bed.

"Zhenchun, what are you doing? Aren't you going to be at the port at 5:30? It's almost 4:40. Why don't you come and change your clothes?"

"Right away~"

After being scolded by his mother, Sera, who had been trying to act like a spoiled child the previous second, immediately let go of his hands and feet and went back to his room to change clothes in shame.

……

At 5:40 in the evening, at a port somewhere along the coast of Yokohama, a super luxury cruise ship was quietly docked on the shore under the fiery sunset.

There seemed to be some high-end car club going on in the parking lot not far away, with all kinds of sports cars and luxury cars gathered together.

Surrounding them were more police cars, all with the words "Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department" printed on them.

In order tonight's operation to capture Kidd, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has dispatched almost half of its police force. Uniformed police officers are spread throughout the entire port, with a sentry post every ten meters, highlighting a complete martial law.

Next to the cruise ship, dignitaries and celebrities from various top organizations in Japanese society are queuing up at the boarding gate to undergo three levels of security checks, including metal detection, bag search, and body search, before they can board the ship.

At the same time, in the distance, the sound of quarreling could be heard faintly amid the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

"Stop! This banquet must be stopped!"

The person who spoke was Inspector Nakamori, who had led people to surround Kaito Kid on the rooftop of the Haido Hotel. He pointed at the boarding gate where people were constantly getting on the cruise ship and argued loudly. His face turned red and his neck was thick, making people feel that his blood pressure might exceed 200 mmHg at any time.

"Inspector, the other party is that Kaito Kidd! If he wanted to, it would be easy for him to pass that level of security and get on board!"

"alright……"

The person responsible for comforting him was Inspector Chaki, who had organized the manpower defense at the Beika Museum at the beginning of the month. In terms of police rank, one was only an inspector and the other was a superintendent, so in theory, Chaki Shintaro could actually be considered as Nakamori Ginzo's superior.

But at the moment, compared to his subordinates whose faces were filled with anxiety, the superior, Chaki Shintaro, seemed particularly indifferent, and even had the mood to smile and calm his subordinates.

"Don't say that, Inspector Nakamori. The people attending the dinner tonight are all well-known figures from all walks of life. We can't act rashly. Moreover, if we forcefully request to stop the banquet because we are afraid that Kaito Kidd will succeed, it will also have a great impact on the reputation of our police department."

"Tsk..."

Even though Nakamori was unwilling, it was an order from his superior after all, and what he said made sense, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Chapter 57: Mrs. Suzuki's Invitation

As they were not familiar with the architectural distribution style in Japan, it was already quite late when Serabelle and Sera Masumi arrived at the port. By then, more than half of the people queuing to board the ship had already boarded, and they were almost at the end of the second half of the cruise ship.

Normally speaking, a dinner of this scale would have invited celebrities from all walks of life. Even with the Suzuki family's status in Japan, it is impossible for them to be left alone. They would at least have to offer a glass of wine to everyone, say hello and exchange pleasantries.

That's what Serabelle originally thought.

But the moment he boarded the ship, he realized that he was probably wrong.

Because an impatient slender hand pushed through the crowd and stretched out to hold his elbow, followed by the excited voice of a girl with a hairband.

"You're so slow, Sera-kun, you're finally here, come here~"

In fact, even without listening to the sound, you know that there is only one person who can be so free and unrestrained on this ship.

The second daughter of the Suzuki zaibatsu - Suzuki Sonoko.

However, completely different from the image of a flowing dress that Serabelle had expected, Miss Sonoko's outfit today was unexpectedly casual, just a sleeveless vest with a collar and jeans. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.

If it was intentional, maybe he just used this as an excuse to say that the clothes were not suitable and pushed the job of receiving guests to his parents, the Suzuki couple?

Just as Serabelle was muttering to himself, Sonoko was actually looking at him. Her reaction was unexpectedly the same as that of Sera Masumi in the room at that time. Her eyes lit up and she was about to blurt out the word "so handsome".

But at this moment, along with the bright greeting of the girl with tiger teeth, a wheat-skinned arm was perfectly placed across the middle of the two of them.

"Hey, good evening, Sonoko-san."

"Uh... good evening, Sera-san."

Sera Masumi didn't mean any harm, she really just came to say hello, but Sonoko was really choked by her, and the two words that were originally on her throat were stuck in her throat.

"Hey, Sonoko-san, have you been waiting here all the time?" Sera Masumi asked curiously.

"Roughly the same……"

Yuanzi was originally a little stuck because what he wanted to say was choked back and he didn't know how to continue. But after being asked this question, his thoughts suddenly became clear. He slapped his head and remembered that he still had important things to do.

"Ah, I almost forgot. I have something for you before you enter the venue."

"what?"

“That’s it~”

As she spoke, Sonoko pulled out two gift boxes that looked quite exquisite from behind her. They were very small, only the size of a palm, and gave the impression that they were used to hold rings or something like that. She gave one to Serabelle and Masumi Sera.

"What's in this?"

Masumi Sera took the small box and turned it over and over, looking at it curiously, just like a cat that has got a new toy. It wants to try it but is afraid of accidents, so it tests it carefully.

"It's okay even if it's opened~" Sonoko smiled generously.

"Then let me take a look..."

"I bet fifty cents that it contains the Dark Star."

Serabel's words briefly caught the attention of the two girls. He paused and uttered the last four words.

"A replica of..."

"Huh? How did you know?"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, a little confused and a little surprised.

“You’re already wearing it.”

Serabelle pointed at her chest.

It was a flower-shaped brooch, set against light gold fabric. The petals were made of fabric, while the pistil was a dark round bead that reflected a mellow luster under the light.

At first glance, it looks like a nice-looking decoration, and one would hardly associate it with a so-called "imitation of the Dark Star."

Serabelle turned to the other side of the passage for ordinary guests and said, "Well, the main reason is that I saw other guests also received this kind of box. Some of them put it on right after they got it."

It’s an open-book exam.

Sera Masumi hummed, "But I'm more curious, why did you, Sonoko-san, specially send mine and Bernie-chan's? Could it be..."

"Ah, that's not the case."

Probably guessing what her friend was going to say next, Sonoko smiled and waved her hand.

"My mission is actually to take you to your mother's place, and the imitations are just a by-product."

As she finished speaking, Serabelle opened the box in her hand, and inside lay a dark star that looked exactly like the one on Sonoko's chest.

He picked it up and examined it under the light shining down on his head, and thought that although it was indeed a black pearl, it was also fake.

But even if they are all fake, so many black pearls will cost a lot of money...

It is worthy of being the second largest dog owner in Japan.

Of course, Yuanzi had no idea what this guy was thinking in his mind. He quickly moved behind the brother and sister, patted each of them on the back, and said excitedly.

"Let's go, let's go, Lan and Uncle Kogoro have already gone there, let's go over too!"

Completely different from the normal VIP channel, under the guidance of Miss Sonoko, the three of them went through many twists and turns and soon arrived at the door of an office on a cruise ship.

When I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw that several people had already arrived in the office.

They are all familiar faces.
