Maori laughed, hugged Suzuki Tomoko tighter, and whispered: "Don't worry, let Kid win the challenge, but the final victory will still belong to you. Kid can find the real 'Dark Star', but then he will lose to Maori Kogoro who hired you. In this way, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Suzuki Tomoko glared at Maori and pinched him again: "You always find a way to fool people, but..."

Before she finished her words, Mao Li suddenly pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear with a smile: "There is one more thing that needs to be corrected - I am the one who squeezed **, not you who squeezed me dry."

Suzuki Tomoko was stunned for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face, but before she could open her mouth to refute, Maori lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Her body trembled slightly, then relaxed, and she wrapped her arms around Maori's neck, responding to his kiss.

The breathing of both of them gradually became rapid. Suzuki Tomoko was picked up by Maori and gently placed on the wooden table in the middle of the room.

The cool touch of the table made her exclaim softly, but it was immediately covered up by Maori's deep kiss.

"Kogoro..." She whispered softly, with a hint of anger, but also mixed with a touch of emotion that was difficult to conceal.

Mao Li stopped and gently held her face, his tone soft but with a hint of teasing: "Don't worry, I will solve all these problems. You just need to be a good queen and let me clear the obstacles for you."

Suzuki Tomoko raised her hand and gently stroked Mao Li's cheek, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "I believe you."

The atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense, and in the banquet hall outside, Kaito Kid, disguised as "Suzuki Shiro", was calmly interacting among the guests, as if everything was going according to plan.

……

The banquet hall was brightly lit, and amid the clinking of glasses, Kaito Kid, disguised as Suzuki Shiro, handled the guests' greetings and conversations with ease.

With the guidance of Kogoro Mori, Kid not only adjusted his external image, but also spent a lot of effort on the details of his inner behavior.

He imitated Shiro Suzuki's demeanor, tone, body movements, and even the details of the slight nod to the waiter were flawless, as if he were really a family leader with a long history in the business world.

Conan quietly watched "Shiro Suzuki" in the crowd.

He had already sensed something was wrong with Kogoro Mori's attitude, but no matter how carefully he observed, this "head of the family" seemed flawless.

"It's really difficult."

Kaito Kid glanced at Conan and sighed inwardly.

Kidd knew that this kid was not an ordinary child, but an extremely smart detective. He had already noticed that Conan was trying to catch his flaws, so he deliberately walked towards the terrace of the banquet hall.

Conan followed without making a sound.

"Mr. Suzuki,"

Conan pretended to be innocent and said, "Just now I heard you and several guests talking about the recent jewelry market. Do you really think that the 'Black Star' is more valuable than other gems?"

Kidd stopped and turned his head slightly to look at Conan with a standard social smile on his face: "Of course, the value of a gem lies not only in its material, but also in its story. The history behind the 'Black Star' is what really attracts me."

Conan narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to test: "Mr. Suzuki, what do you think Kaito Kid would do if he really came tonight?"

Kidd smiled, slowly turned around and leaned against the railing, with a hint of joking in his tone: "That depends on the wisdom of this thief. If he can find the real 'Dark Star', it will be a loss for the family; if he can't find it, won't he lose face?"

Conan stared at his expression, trying to find a flaw, but Kid's performance was flawless.

In just a few sentences of conversation, his tone, expression and movements were all calm and confident, and he didn't seem like someone who was hiding his identity at all.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more answers, Conan had to give up.

He scratched his head and muttered to himself, "It's impossible. Judging from Uncle Maori's reaction, there must be something wrong with this Suzuki Shiro, but why can't I see the flaw?"

At this moment, Xiao Ai, who was standing beside him, glanced at him coldly and said softly, "Why don't you just go and ask Uncle Maori?"

Conan was startled, then nodded: "That's right! Uncle Maori must know something."

However, just as he was about to go find Maori, a low murmur of discussion was heard in the main passage of the banquet hall.

Maori Kogoro walked slowly down the corridor with Suzuki Tomoko. Suzuki Tomoko's face was flushed, and her eyes were a little flustered, while Maori's hand was naturally around her waist.

Conan stopped and looked at the two of them, with a strange premonition rising in his heart.

Before he could open his mouth, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out. A small explosion sounded, causing the guests to gasp in fear.

The hall fell into a brief chaos, and Mao Li shouted to calm the situation: "Don't panic, there must be something wrong with the lighting equipment!"

However, before he finished speaking, Suzuki Tomoko screamed, "No! It's Kaito Kid!"

The scream instantly caused more commotion.

The next second, the spotlight suddenly lit up, and a figure slowly descended from the ceiling, wearing a white cloak and a tall hat. It was Kaito Kidd.

He was suspended in the air, holding the "Dark Star" in his hand, and laughed: "The real 'Dark Star' has always been in the possession of Mrs. Suzuki Tomoko! I have taken it away!"

The guests were shocked at first, then burst into uproar.

Conan's face changed and he looked at "Suzuki Shiro" suddenly. At this moment, he finally realized that Suzuki Shiro was actually an imposter!

"I knew it was him!"

Conan shouted angrily, but his tone was full of resentment, "Is this guy's acting so good?!"

Kaito Kid looked at Conan, his smile widened, and then he bowed gracefully and threw the smoke bomb in his hand to the ground. With a puff of thick smoke, his figure disappeared without a trace.

Mao Li saw this and immediately shouted, "Everyone stop! Don't move!"

Then he turned around and chased after him, leaving everyone still talking in shock.

Chapter 413: The Thoughts of Tears in the Next Life

Kogoro Mori hurried along the deck, his figure hidden in the interweaving of lights and shadows.

His steps were steady and powerful, like a cheetah about to pounce on its prey.

Maori looked back and saw Conan and a group of curious guests chasing him out. He simply shouted exaggeratedly: "Kaito Kid, no matter how fast you run, you can't escape my eyes!"

The two of them chased each other and soon left the people behind them behind.

The white figure in front stopped at the end of the deck, with its cloak slightly fluttering, showing a sense of calmness and elegance.

Kaito Kid turned around gently, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Mr. Maori, have we caught up to this point?"

Mao Li looked back and said with a faint smile: "The show has come to this point, we should wrap it up."

Kaito Kid nodded, took out a shining "Dark Star" from his pocket and gently threw it to Maori.

The gem drew a graceful arc in the air and was caught accurately by Mao Li.

"I'll give it back to you." Kaito Kidd said in a low voice, without a trace of reluctance in his tone.

Mao Li casually played with the gemstone, with a faint smile on his face: "We have to act out the whole play. If someone catches up with us later, we have to give them a big show."

Kaito Kid raised his eyebrows, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Mr. Maori is indeed a knowledgeable person. Then I will listen to you and give them an unforgettable performance."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Soon, footsteps approached from behind, accompanied by noisy whispers.

Conan and several excited guests held their mobile phones and cameras, eager to record everything they saw.

Kaito Kidd chuckled upon hearing the sound, and stood sideways on the edge of the deck. The wind lifted his cloak, like a white feather under the night sky.

He said loudly: "Everyone, tonight's performance ends here! I have got the gem!"

The onlookers exclaimed, all eyes focused on his tall and slender figure.

Mao Li snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming with sharp light, and he shouted loudly: "Don't even think about escaping! Watch me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed the lifting rope with both hands, and swung with the force, approaching Kaito Kidd as quickly as a falcon. His movements were quick and decisive, without any unnecessary effort.

The guests were stunned and could only watch him perform a series of incredible moves in the air like movie special effects.

Kaito Kidd was not panicked by this. He gently dodged to the side, touched the ground with his toes, and jumped up again.

Just when everyone thought he was going to leave calmly, Maori jumped down from the rope at an even faster speed, and his arm grasped Kaito Kid's wrist tightly like an iron clamp.

"That's it, Kaito Kidd!"

Maori's voice was sonorous and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kaito Kid's eyes, and then his smile deepened: "Mr. Maori's skills really impressed me."

Then, he turned around and whispered, "In that case, I'll return the gem to you."

Maori took the gem and gently released Kaito Kid's wrist as he dropped it. He looked at him and mouthed, "The rest will go according to plan."

Kaito Kid nodded, raised his cloak, and quickly climbed to the other end of the rope, stepping on the rope and retreating to the high deck like flowing water.

He looked back at Maori for the last time, gave a meaningful smile, and then gracefully left like a white crane, disappearing into the night sky.

The guests exclaimed in surprise one after another, and the flashes of mobile phones and cameras kept flashing, recording these incredible scenes.

Maori slowly landed from the sling, his clothes neatly dressed and his expression calm.

He held up the "Dark Star" and said calmly: "The show of Kaito Kidd ends here. The gem is safe."

The crowd around instantly burst into thunderous applause.

"Mr. Maori is so amazing!"

"That movement is just like a martial arts star!"

"He actually beat Kaito Kidd!"

Conan stood in the crowd, his face showing both astonishment and suspicion. He murmured in a low voice: "This is simply a superman... It's completely beyond my understanding..."

Xiao Ai, who was standing by, glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't you see it yet? Uncle Maori's methods cannot be explained by common sense."

That's right.

That adaptive cavity is not something that ordinary people can come up with. That bad guy...

Xiao Ai's cheeks turned red.

Conan frowned and was about to ask more questions, but he saw Maori cast a meaningful look at him in the crowd, as if to say: "Don't mind your own business, little brat."

This night's cruise feast has become a legend that everyone talks about because of this thrilling "chase scene".

Not only was Kogoro Mori's image completely rewritten because of this "miraculous" performance, he also became a hero to all the guests at the banquet.

His heroic deeds soon spread throughout high society, and Kaito Kid's graceful and elegant exit once again added a touch of color to his legend.

The tacit understanding between the two made this "duel" flawless.

……

As night falls, the lights on the cruise ship shine on the sea, creating a dazzling golden glow on the waves.

Lai Sheng Lei stood on the edge of the upper deck of the cruise ship, looking over the crowd at a chase scene in the center of the deck.

The figures of Kogoro Mouri and Kaito Kid are like two shining stars, performing a rare duel under the night sky.

"Kaito Kidd is really amazing."

Lai Sheng Lei thought. She had seen many daring thieves and hunted down many talented criminals, but this was the first time she had seen a character as elegant and dramatic as Kaito Kid.

Kaito Kid's movements are neat and tidy, and he incorporates magic tricks into every turn and dodge, making even the simplest steps appear smooth and flowing. Whether it's disappearing in a puff of smoke or cleverly using the ship's slings to escape, every step is a performance, as if to say, "Look carefully, I am the protagonist on the stage."

However, compared to Kaito Kid's dazzling performance, Lei Ai's gaze is always following another person - Kogoro Mouri.

"He is even more outrageous than Kaito Kidd." She sighed in her heart.

Mao Li's skills are so agile that he doesn't look like an ordinary detective.

Every move he made was full of the calmness and strength of a warrior. Lai Sheng Lei had never seen such a neat and clean move: climbing the rope with ease, accurately judging every move of Kaito Kidd, and even calmly fighting back at the most critical moment.

She sighed softly, with a complicated look in her eyes. "No wonder he could see through us three sisters..."

Maori's teasing voice, sharp eyes, and the confidence of winning the game seemed to be able to easily penetrate people's hearts. The memory of Laisheng Lei involuntarily returned to the day when she first met Maori.

Although his tone was calm at that time, it revealed an irresistible force. It was precisely because of this aura that made people both annoyed and respectful that she fell in love with Maori Kogoro.

However, now she can only stand in the crowd and silently watch the man who is so at ease under the spotlight.

He was fully aware of Kaito Kid's actions and had perfect control over the situation at hand.

He can even see through Kaito Kid's disguise at a glance and accurately expose this thief who is known for his perfect disguise.

This made Lai Sheng Lei's mood even more complicated.

"The more powerful he is, the more I am moved."

Her fingertips unconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand.

The crowd around him burst into exclamations and applause, interrupting Lai Shenglei's thoughts.

Maori snatched the Black Star from mid-air with an almost artistic movement and returned to the deck in perfect posture.

He looked calm and his eyes were peaceful, as if all this was just a small thing he had done casually.

Kaito Kid waved goodbye gracefully and disappeared into the night.
