Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Chapter 75: I got you.

"Xiaolan, let's come up with a secret code."

"Huh? Okay."

After a while of noise, the banquet hall quickly returned to calm.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Tomoko Suzuki also arranged for the magician she invited, Kazuzo Sanada, to perform on stage.

Lin Jiashu proposed this to Xiaolan at this time, and the latter was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded - the Dark Night Stars are now on Brother Jiashu, and no matter what he does, he should try his best to cooperate and not lag behind.

"So what's the best code for us to use?"

“It doesn’t have to be too complicated, just keep it simple.”

Lin Jiashu lowered his eyes, his gaze resting on the dark night star on his chest, and smiled, "How about my codeword be 'Sulk', and yours, Xiaolan, be 'Apple'."

"Oh, okay..."

Although she didn't know what this meant, Xiaolan accepted it very happily.

Apple.

She repeated it twice in her heart, then nodded with a bright smile.

The performance on the stage continues.

Professional magician Kazuzo Sanada's performances are indeed quite sophisticated. Whether it's card magic or the magic of making pigeons appear from under clothes, the performances seen in close-up are quite exciting.

But these still cannot be compared with Kaito Kid...Kuroba Kaito, the high school student.

From the way Kaito Kid can disguise himself in an instant in critical situations, we can know how fast he is. Moreover, as a thief, he is very creative, bold and careful, and has various methods to use... In fact, Lin Jiashu admires him very much. To some extent, his magic is almost equivalent to magic.

Lin Jiashu glanced at his watch.

(It will take another hour for the ship to arrive at Tokyo Port.)

Next, Kaito Kidd must attack him in order to seize the Dark Night Star. Lin Jiashu is quite looking forward to what moves he will use.

"Um, Xiaolan." Sonoko suddenly tapped Xiaolan's shoulder.

"What's wrong with Sonoko?"

"Will you come with me to the bathroom?"

"Ah, okay."

The two best friends quickly went to the bathroom together.

Lin Jiashu noticed this and looked down at Conan who was still concentrating on thinking beside him.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm thinking that no matter who Kaito Kidd disguises himself as, he'll definitely have to get close to Yoshiki-nii in order to get the Dark Night Star, so I'm on guard now."

"You're right."

Lin Jiashu smiled calmly and said, "In other words, the only person I can trust now is you, Conan."

"a ha ha ha."

Conan scratched the back of his head. After all, Kaito Kid couldn't turn into a child.

Later, Xiaolan and Sonoko also came back together. When Conan asked if anything unusual had happened, they were both stunned for a moment and then shook their heads.

Time passes slowly.

Until there were only twenty minutes left before the Sally Beth arrived at Tokyo Port, and even the police were wondering whether Kaito Kidd had given up on escaping with the Dark Night Star, several replicas of the Dark Night Star suddenly rolled down in the banquet hall.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, one of the guests subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but before he could touch it, the black pearl suddenly exploded with a loud bang, releasing a large amount of smoke from the flames.

“B-It exploded!?”

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Several explosions erupted in the banquet hall, frightening the guests and making them scream. Many of them saw clearly that the explosion was actually a replica of the Dark Night Stars!

"What are you kidding!?"

"I don't want to wear something that explodes!"

"Everyone, take it off!"

Amid the rising smoke, the riotous guests took off their jewels and threw them to the ground.

Many people were terrified by the explosion and fled out of the banquet hall.

In the thick smoke, the situation suddenly became chaotic.

Even though the police were shouting at everyone not to be fooled, it was of no use. The guests rushed to the door of the banquet hall in panic.

"Brother Jiashu!"

Xiaolan and Sonoko came closer.

Facing their approach, Lin Jiashu acted cautiously: "Sulk."

"Apple?"

"The code is correct."

Seeing Lin Jiashu relax his guard, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene is now in chaos, and the thick smoke screen somewhat obscures people's vision.

In the midst of this, Nakamori Ginzo's voice suddenly came from the right: "It's Kaito Kidd! Catch him for me!!"

"How could I possibly be caught by you?"

Kaito Kid's teasing voice angered Ginzo Nakamori.

Following the sound, she saw a white figure emerging from the smoke rushing towards Lin Jiashu at a very fast speed. The moment she saw Kaito Kid appear, Xiaolan immediately stood up.

"Brother Jiashu, I'll come--"

She stretched out her hand to push Lin Jiashu backwards, but her hand was instantly grabbed by Lin Jiashu.

"Eh?"

"I got you."

The smiling expression on Lin Jiashu's face made her feel something was wrong. The next second, she was pulled towards him by Lin Jiashu.

"Ku...ah--"

A simple punch to the abdomen caused Kaito Kid to subconsciously reveal his true voice.

Severe pain radiates from the abdomen.

Facing Lin Jiashu who was holding him tightly, Kaito Kid raised his head with difficulty, a little confused: "...Didn't I get the secret code?"

"The code itself is meaningless. It's just a trap I set for you to 'match the code and I'll let my guard down,'" Lin Jiashu said with a smile. "No matter what, Kaito Kidd has to get close to me if he wants to steal the Dark Night Star, so I'm always wary of anyone who gets close to me."

"..."

"But what really caught my attention was your right hand. After all, you used your right arm to block my punch before. It must have hurt a lot there, right? And after you disguised yourself as Xiaolan, whether you were holding a drink or applauding a magic show, you were very careful about how much force you used with your right hand."

"...you bastard."

Kaito Kidd was speechless.

It was the first time he encountered such an unreasonable opponent. Now that he was restrained, he couldn't use any tricks.

The smoke in the banquet hall gradually dissipated.

The "Kaito Kid" that Ginzo Nakamori was chasing so hard in the smoke just now was actually a dummy mechanism he made. He put on his iconic white suit and cloak to achieve a lifelike effect.

Until this moment, Sonoko, who was stunned by the current situation, gradually came to her senses:

"Since you're disguised as Xiaolan?"

"What!?"

"Hey, Kaito Kidd! What did you do to Xiaolan?!"

Conan was shocked, and Mouri Kogoro rushed forward angrily and grabbed Kaito Kid's collar... But Kaito Kid was now using the image of Xiaolan, and the scene was quite strange.

"What!? Kaito Kidd was caught!?"

The police officers from Investigation Section 2 realized it only later.

Chapter 76: "Sorry, Xiaolan."

Kaito Kidd has been caught--

This fact made Nakamori Ginzo and others ecstatic.

Although he felt a little upset that he was not the one who caught him, the enemy he had been chasing for many years finally fell into his hands. Nakamori Ginzo felt as happy as the first sip of ice cola on a hot day.

"Hahahaha! Take him away and lock him up! No, wait, I want to guard him myself!!"

He grabbed Lin Jiashu's hand and shook it vigorously a few times, then left the banquet hall excitedly, pushing Kaito Kidd down.

Ran, who was disguised as Kaito Kid and replaced by him, was soon found in the bathroom.

When Sonoko found her, she was sleeping on the toilet in the bathroom and was still a little confused when she was woken up.

According to her, she was waiting for Sonoko outside the bathroom when she suddenly fell asleep for no apparent reason... She was surprised to hear that Kaito Kidd had been caught when she woke up.

"I'm sorry, Xiaolan."

She was a little surprised by Lin Jiashu's gentle voice.

"What's wrong, Jiashu brother?"

"I punched Kaito Kidd, who was disguised as you... Even though I was 100% sure at the time, I still feel a little sorry."

His eyelids drooped softly, and his gentle voice and expression expressed apology.

Brother Jiashu...seems a little guilty?

Realizing this, Xiaolan immediately raised her eyebrows and shook her head vigorously.

"No, you really shouldn't think like that, Yoshiki-kun! I can totally understand. After all, that was Kaito Kidd, not me."

"......Yeah?"

"Well, and you see, if Kaito Kidd manages to steal the Dark Night Star in my image, then I'd be the one who should truly feel guilty." A smile spread across her bright face as she spoke. "So I'm the one who truly wants to express my gratitude to Yoshiki-san."

"so."

"That's what I said, Shu! Hey, although you scared me just now, you did a great job, hahaha."

Kogoro Mouri laughed and patted Hayashi Yoshiki's shoulder.

After some communication, Lin Jiashu finally seemed to be relieved.

"Then I'll find a chance to treat you to ice cream as an apology."

"Well, okay!"

At this point, Suzuki Tomoko, who had comforted the guests, came over.

Lin Jiashu returned the Dark Night Star on his chest to her. The latter took it solemnly and thanked him happily.

"Thanks to Mr. Lin, this banquet was able to end so successfully. I will give you a commission that will definitely satisfy you."

"There are still five minutes until the cruise ship arrives at Tokyo Port."

"And Sonoko, haven't you always been curious about what Kaito Kid looks like?"

"Mother......"

When Sonoko heard this, she immediately shouted out, and then Suzuki Tomoko just looked at her with a smile on her face.

She's a doting mother...

However, the true identity of Kaito Kid did make several people curious, so under the leadership of Tomoko Suzuki, a group of people went to the cabin where Kaito Kid was temporarily detained by the police.
