I am in Mihua, and the ladies all like me

not dead?

Upon hearing this, the banquet hall fell silent again.

The next second, the power system resumed normal operation, and bright lights from the sky dispelled the darkness.

When everyone adapted to the change in light intensity and opened their eyes again, they saw that there was no blood on the body of "Kaito Kid" who had just fallen on the dining table, and the "corpse" was even moving on its own.

He sat up, stepped down from the dining table, and took off the monocle he used for disguise, revealing his handsome and attractive face as a man.

"Good evening, everyone." The magician tipped his hat and saluted.

"Is that... the magician Sanada Kazuzo!?" Someone recognized him.

"That's right~"

Suzuki Tomoko smiled smugly.

"This is Mr. Sanada Kazuzo, the genius magician I invited to help me preview the ending of Kaito Kid."

Well, it turns out that they are just specially invited actors, so it’s okay…

The corner of Serabelle's mouth twitched slightly.

What followed was naturally the standard plot development. First, after the performance, Kazuzo Sanada revealed his true identity and explained the whole story. He went on and on about how he and Kid were just artists who used miraculous techniques to deceive people. Then he angrily accused Kid of having no dignity as a magician and actually committing the crime of theft with magic techniques. Finally, he proudly stated that he would never lose to such a petty thief, etc.

I heard a trainee detective talking on his cell phone in the subway with an old man's face, and thought, you need an assistant to help you even when changing clothes, so please stop pretending if you are so clumsy.

"Okay, then everyone please come to the front of the stage. My magic show is about to begin."

Having won everyone's favor with a set of lines that could not be more PR-like, Kazuzo Sanada walked onto the stage and took out a deck of cards from the inside pocket of his suit.

The magician turned to the audience, his eyes fell on Xiaolan and Sonoko, who seemed to have just recovered from what happened before, and smiled.

"Then I would like to ask these two beautiful ladies to cooperate with me, okay?"

"Eh? Us?"

Yuanzi was stunned and pointed at herself, then looked at her "good friend" next to her, exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

After all, it is always pleasing to have beautiful girls on stage as guests.

While Ran Sonoko was on stage, Sanada Ichizo explained: "The rules are very simple. Just pick a card at random from these cards. Of course, you can shuffle the cards as you like. There is no problem with that."

The magician smiled confidently.

"Because no matter what card I draw, I will use my clairvoyant eyes to see through it."

Ha, ha, you can see through it...

Serabelle sighed inwardly and shook her head slightly.

"Someone is going to flip over~"

He actually said this in a very low voice, but the girl with tiger teeth next to him still heard it.

"Overturned? Who overturned?"

"…No, it's nothing, you heard it wrong."

Glancing at Conan who seemed to have noticed the conversation and was looking at her in confusion, Serabelle decisively chose to get away with it.

Well, let’s save the fun of appreciating the other person’s reaction after revealing the answer for last.

Chapter 63: Warming up the wine...meeting Ji De

It is obvious that people prefer to watch people fail in the underworld rather than watching masters show off their skills.

Since the magician has said that the cards can be shuffled, then of course we have to shuffle them vigorously.

So the deck of cards left the stage, and by the time it turned a circle and returned to the hands of Kazuzo Sanada on the stage, it was almost ten minutes later. It had passed through the hands of nearly ten people, and it accidentally fell once into the hands of Yuzo Tozawa, the third young master of the Tozawa Group, and was picked up again. It can be said that it was thoroughly washed.

Kazuzo Sanada himself doesn't mind it. Rather, it would be a real disqualification for a magician to be afraid of being challenged by the audience.

What's more, magic has been developed for so many years, it is no longer like a circus where the audience and performers perform their own things. It is more interesting when there is interaction.

"Yoshi, now the shuffling process is complete."

After putting the playing cards back into his hand and sorting them out one by one, Kazuzo Sanada handed the fan-shaped cards with the backs facing up to the two girls, and pointed to his right eye with a smile.

"Before you two draw your cards, let me predict which card you will draw."

Haha, prediction...

The Phantom Thief Girl laughed dryly in her heart without taking it seriously.

To put it bluntly, the tricks for this kind of card magic are all similar, and she was tired of tricks of this level when she was five years old.

But she still tried her best to pretend to be quite expectant.

"Just... just pick one at random?"

"Ah, just pick any one."

As Sanada Kazuzo spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and made some sounds from his throat similar to those often heard in the toilet, as if he was really practicing predictions, and he even clenched his right fist.

bang~

Suddenly, a small puff of white dust burst out from his clenched right fist, accompanied by the sound of wings flapping in the air.

The dust soon dissipated, and a white dove flapped its wings and soared into the air.

This is a common scene in many magic shows, but it is still incredible no matter how many times you see it.

Sanada Kazumi stared at the pigeon, frowned, and thought hard for a while, as if talking to himself: "Pigeon, hado? That means the heart... the heart? Ah, I know, it must be the Ace of Hearts, right?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The easy-to-understand and timeless pun immediately sparked laughter from the audience.

Kuroba Chiko also pretended to smile.

"So can we draw the cards now?"

"Of course." Sanada Kazuzo made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

"Pick the one on the far right, pick the one on the far right..."

Yuanzi, who was standing nearby, whispered and made a noise.

"Hi hi~"

Kuroba Chiko pretended to agree, and as he raised his hand towards the card on the far right, a barely noticeable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Putting it down and picking it up, the whole action was smooth and there was no delay at all.

But when she picked up the card, the content on the front of the card seemed to change a little.

"……what?"

"……Um?"

The two girls made confused sounds almost at the same time, which made Sanada Kazuzo on the stage stunned for a moment.

He had used this magic trick in countless performances. Every time, the special guests would show expressions of surprise and joy, and then excitedly ask how he did it.

But looking at it this time, um~ why does it seem a little different?

Could it be that I failed?

This is impossible.

Just when Kazuzo Sanada was hesitating whether to ask what had happened, "Xiaolan" took the initiative to read out the contents on the card.

"This is... I have come to your side just like Caesar who was bewitched by the Queen of Egypt. Kaito Kidd."

Eh?

Sanada Kazuzo's expression froze as he had never expected to hear such content.

At the same time, someone in the back of the banquet hall noticed the contents of the card in Xiaolan's hand, and combined with the former's expression that was obviously no longer expected, he spoke subconsciously.

"It's Kidd! Kidd has infiltrated us!"

“He’s actually already sneaked in!”

Just a few simple words caused the banquet hall, which had just settled down not long ago, to become restless again.

But it was limited to a commotion. After all, everyone knew that Kaito Kidd's target was the Dark Star, not to kill all of them.

It's not a big problem, don't panic.JPG

However, at this moment, Yuanzi suddenly discovered something strange.

When her eyes fell on the chest of her friend beside her, she discovered that the Lamb Dark Star that she was supposed to be wearing was missing.

"Huh? Where is your dark star, Lan?"

"mine?"

"Xiao Lan" was stunned, and subconsciously looked down to find that there was indeed nothing. Then she looked around and found that there was a black pearl rolling along the floor towards the crowd.

"Um... can anyone help me pick it up? My Dark Star fell over!"

"Oh oh."

The one who responded was a middle-aged man. He looked down and saw a dark star rolling to his feet. Out of gentlemanly considerations, he bent down and reached out to pick it up.

But the next second, a sudden change occurred.

The surface of the black pearl that fell to the ground suddenly cracked with a snap, and a large amount of gray smoke rushed out of it, and then it exploded with a bang.

This scene was naturally seen by many people around, and everyone was stunned.

The dark stars they wear on their chests...will explode?

"Hey, did you see that? The dark star... exploded!" someone said tremblingly.

"Are you kidding me? I don't want to wear something that explodes!"

The first person who lost his patience soon appeared. He hurriedly untied the black pearl from his chest and threw it to the ground.

After a few seconds, the black pearl began to crack and smoke, just like the previous moment, and then exploded.

Obviously, this is also a "blasting bead".

It might be a coincidence that one bomb exploded, and it might also be a coincidence that two bombs exploded, but no one would be willing to gamble their life on such a coincidence.

The mood of panic instantly enveloped the entire banquet, and everyone rushed to take off the black pearls from their chests and tried to throw them away.

But there were already a lot of people in the banquet hall, and the population density was extremely high. No matter where you threw the paper, it would fall where other people were standing.

Bang bang bang bang!

As the fifth or sixth Black Pearl exploded in the banquet hall, the guests completely rioted.

Screams and curses were heard everywhere. The gentlemen and ladies who had been holding their wine glasses and looking elegant just a moment ago suddenly tore off their graceful exterior and tried their best to throw the black pearl away from themselves, while running out of the banquet hall.

The whole process happened so suddenly that the police officers guarding the entrances and exits of the banquet hall didn't even have time to organize a defense before they were broken through on the spot, and large numbers of people poured out.

The crowd was so huge that even the drunk Kogoro Mouri was accidentally carried out.

"father!"

Kuroba Chiko, who was disguised as Xiaolan, shouted in panic, but was almost bumped by someone as soon as she finished speaking.

Tomoko Suzuki was also knocked down during the riot, and Chiko Kuroba was quick to rush forward and support her.

"Aunt Suzuki, are you okay?"

"Uh, I'm fine, nothing's wrong..."

Tomoko Suzuki covered her forehead which had just been hit and shook her head to indicate that she was not seriously injured.

Kuroba Chiko helped her up and glanced at Sonoko who arrived anxiously but a step late.

"I'll leave this to you, Sonoko. I have to go check on my dad."

Sonoko was very considerate. She looked around the banquet hall where there were only a few guests left and said, "Ran, you should go quickly. Uncle Kogoro is very drunk. It would be terrible if he fell."

"Ah."

The girl nodded slightly, then turned and rushed out of the banquet hall.

As a result, the only people left in the venue were Serabelle, Masumi Sera, Conan, Sonoko, Suzuki Tomoko, and Kazuzo Sanada who stood stunned on the stage in front of such a huge development, as well as several police officers.
