Conan: I'm Really Not Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 154 Chapter 153
By the way, if Sano remembers correctly, this party seems to have gathered a lot of well-known people from Neon China.

These include but are not limited to various entrepreneurs worth tens of billions of dollars, as well as many politicians and celebrities from all walks of life.

Suzuki Sonoko's father is qualified to speak on stage on such an occasion. It seems that the Suzuki family may be more powerful than I imagined?
Then, as soon as Sano entered the banquet hall, he was stunned by the words "Suzuki Foundation's [-]th Anniversary" on the banner hanging high.

Suzuki... consortium?
Sixtieth anniversary? ?

Sano licked his lips, and asked Suzuki Sonoko with a dry throat, "Your family organized this banquet?"

Suzuki Sonoko turned around with a puzzled look on his face: "That's right."

"Then this boat...could it also belong to your family?"

Suzuki Sonoko nodded again as a matter of course.

Sano: "..."

Sano doesn't know the exact size of the ship under his feet, but he can be sure that even if he spends all his savings, he may not be able to buy an ordinary yacht, let alone a follow-up yacht. maintenance costs.

But Suzuki Sonoko's family actually used such a big cruise ship to hold a party...

Sano didn't ask anymore, but just patted the shoulder of Conan who had just followed, and asked in a low voice: "Boy, Suzuki Consortium, what level is it in Neon?"

"You don't even know that?"

Conan gave Sano a strange look.

"The Sonoko family's Suzuki consortium is one of the largest consortiums in Neon... After all, there are still two or three rivals who are evenly matched."

One of the largest few...

Probably equivalent to Ma Baba's level?
Sano fell into silence, and the only thing that echoed in his mind was that sentence.

The local tyrant is by my side.

To be honest, Sano knew that Suzuki Sonoko's family was rich before, but he really didn't know that he was so rich.

After all, in Sano's view, he is a small rich man with nearly a hundred million people, and with a little effort, his savings will be in the tens of figures.

And Suzuki Sonoko is at best a rich second generation with a little money. There may be a gap between the two, but that should also be that he is of a higher level than Suzuki Sonoko.

Why, looking at it now, the little money on his body seems to have become poor in an instant?
It was agreed to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. The co-author is Suzuki Sonoko, a young tigress pretending to be a pig?

Sano felt a little bit of a blow to his self-esteem.

"Student Suzuki, no, local tyrants, rich women, do you still need pendants for your thighs? I'm hungry. The doctor said I have a bad stomach and I'm suitable for soft meals."

After recovering from his senses, Sano almost instinctively sent a soft meal request to Suzuki Sonoko, causing the other party to stare at him in a daze, not understanding what the words meant at all, and could only touch him with a confused face. with the back of his head.

On the contrary, Conan understood the meaning behind Sano's words, and looked at Sano with dead eyes.

I didn't expect you to be such a secular person...

You are Gao who has not been beaten by the society, no, you are a primary school student, how can you understand the value and charm of money?
Sano understood Conan's eyes, and immediately returned the other's gaze. Of course, Conan couldn't understand, so he could only make question marks all over his head.

On the podium, Suzuki Sonoko and his father, Suzuki Shiro, who had an inexplicable resemblance to the police officer, had already finished their speech, which was nothing more than some polite remarks. The only thing to note was that the other party mentioned the current number of people on board, which was more than 500 people.

After all, Sano now knew that Suzuki Sonoko was not an ordinary rich second generation, but an enhanced version of the ultimate rich second generation super plus, so the commission fee of 300 million to 3000 million mentioned earlier was naturally not a big problem.

For that thief, Sano is determined to win!
It's just how can I find a target among more than 500 people...

Ok?
Sano suddenly noticed a blind spot, looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "The guests who attended this party are all named, so how can a person who was not invited pass the inspection?"

Especially when it was still daytime when we boarded the boat just now, and there were many police guards around the boat. If the thief could avoid such a defensive net and board the boat quietly, Sano would definitely not believe it anyway.

"what?"

Suzuki Sonoko turned around: "Senior, don't you know that Kaitou Kidd is a great magician. What he is best at is changing into the appearance of others, and even his voice can be imitated vividly."

This is... Disguise?

Sano was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately thought of the plague god's mother, and then shook his head the next second.

No, no, a big star, even a retired big star, how could he be a thief, not to mention his age is not right.

Unless Yukiko Kudo has been a thief since middle and high school.

But in this way, it would be a bit difficult to find an impostor among the more than 500 people... The thief's disguise technique should also rely on a human skin mask.

How about tearing everyone's faces up?
Sano glanced around at the party participants who would come up with the words "rich or expensive" just by looking at the clothes, and couldn't help but slowly typed a few points.

The police shouldn't be unclear about the things that Sano can easily think of at the first time, as for why they didn't implement them...

Heh, this is called sophistication.

"Ok?"

Sano suddenly noticed the blind spot again, and looked at Suzuki Sonoko suspiciously: "What kind of thing is Kaitou Kidd, didn't he say something before, did he change to a thief?"

"Phantom Thief Kidd is Phantom Thief No. [-]. The original number is the serial number, and the latter is the name."

Conan held his head high and gave Sano a science popularization. I just said that I want to share information with you. You don’t want it. Now it’s starting to be stretched.

Unfortunately, to Conan's disappointment, after Sano nodded, he didn't continue to ask questions, and his desire to share suddenly began to swell.

Can't this guy be a little more curious!
"Okay, before the banquet starts, I want to tell everyone about a game I came up with."

On the podium, just when Suzuki Shiro finished his last sentence "I wish you all a good time", a stylishly dressed short-haired woman came out from behind, holding a delicate small box in her hand.

"Before boarding the ship, every guest present should have received this small box I sent you. Now everyone can open it and have a look."

Sano also remembered the box given by the security personnel before boarding the ship, and immediately took it out and took a look. The box contained a black pearl embedded in an ornament.

"This is... a dark star!?"

Except for Sano, after opening the box, everyone present received exactly the same...Dark Star, the short-haired woman, Suzuki Sonoko's mother Tomoko Suzuki continued.

"This is my challenge to that stupid thief. Now everyone has a family heirloom from our Suzuki family. Of course, most of them are just fake imitations. As for the real one, I am the only one A man knows whose hands it is."

"Okay, now please put this pearl in your hands on your chest. If the thief is really capable of stealing the dark star, then let him look for it first, and find out which dark star is the real one." All right."

Tomoko Suzuki had a confident smile on her face.

But Sano was a little speechless. This kind of behavior feels meaningless. It is said to be a family heirloom. Could it be that Tomoko Suzuki is really willing to wear it for others?

There is a high probability that it is on Tomoko Suzuki's own family, and the most suspected person is herself.

Of course, Tomoko Suzuki may also go the other way and give that thing to outsiders. If that's the case, Sano can only say one thing - he has a lot of money and a big nerve.

Then, the banquet officially started, and the guests in the banquet hall naturally started activities to expand their contacts and get closer.

Of course, Sano didn't need to go to this kind of activity, he just got together with Mo Lilan's family of three and Suzuki Sonoko, but Suzuki Tomoko took the initiative to come over and say hello to Sano.

"Are you the famous high school student detective?"

Suzuki Tomoko raised his glass: "I've heard your name many times at Yuanzi, and I've always been very curious. I thought I had a chance to meet you last time, but you didn't come. This time, I finally saw you in person." .”

"Sorry, there was something urgent to deal with last time."

Sano politely greeted him, and Mori Kogoro on the side quickly asked Suzuki Tomoko: "Well, madam, I understand your plan to hide the dark stars in the crowd, but at the very least, you should also Tell me where the real product of the dark star is, otherwise how can I protect it?"

"Heh, Detective Mori, you, like Detective Sano and Officer Nakamori, are trustworthy knights who can protect our family heirlooms, but even so, such a secret cannot be easily told to you."

Tomoko Suzuki chuckled: "I have given it to the most suitable woman in the audience. If you observe carefully, you can see the difference."

"Is that so..."

Mori Kogoro frowned in thought, while Sano couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. Didn't he hear the meaning of Tomoko Suzuki's words? It seems that apart from his IQ, this confused detective is also not very good in terms of EQ.

But besides this, Sano was also thinking about what Tomoko Suzuki said just now.

The dark stars were handed over to the most suitable women.

I always feel that there is a taste of boasting and self-selling. If Tomoko Suzuki's face is really thick enough, the star on her body should be the real dark star.

"Hello? Where are you, old lady? Why haven't I seen you?"

Suzuki Sonoko suddenly made a call on the other end of the phone, frowned for a while and then said in astonishment: "What, neither you nor Dad boarded the ship, and the police officer told you that the sailing time was delayed by three hours?"

Hearing this, Sano and Conan looked at Suzuki Sonoko at the same time. Suzuki Shiro was not on the boat, so the one who spoke just now was Kaitou Kidd?
Without saying a word, Conan chased after Suzuki Shiro in the direction where Suzuki Shiro left after speaking, while Sano did not move, and continued to stay beside Suzuki Tomoko.

Seeing Suzuki Sonoko still looking confused after hanging up the phone, the corner of Sano's mouth couldn't help twitching, before he realized that his father had been replaced by someone else.

Then it seemed that Conan had suddenly disappeared, and Mao Lilan said that he went out to look for it and then left.

After a while, Conan ran back, indicating that he found the human skin mask and other props used by Kaitou Kidd in the bathroom of the ship to disguise himself as Suzuki Shiro.

"I have informed the officers and they should be searching shortly."

Sure enough, soon a policeman who called himself Chamu stepped onto the stage and explained that the strange thief Kidd had sneaked into the banquet hall.

"Originally, we were supposed to conduct a careful search of everyone present, but in order not to spoil everyone's interest, we decided to adopt a plan."
