Conan Moslin

Black Star, translated as dark night star, or dark star.

Or maybe it's the dark star, the black star...

It doesn't matter.

The black pearls in the display case are dark and shiny, and they look dazzling under the light.

"This is the world's largest black pearl, the Dark Star."

Hearing Maori Kogoro's praise, Suzuki Shiro smiled and said, "Ever since my grandfather collected this pearl, the fortune of our Suzuki family has begun to rise rapidly."

"In other words, it is also the guardian deity of our Suzuki family."

"So that's how it is..." Kogoro Mouri thought.

While Maori and his group were discussing the situation around the Dark Star, Li An finally passed all the tests... no, he passed through many levels of screening and inspection by many police officers and entered the Beika Museum.

"Although I don't know why the Suzuki family asked you to come, I hope you will understand that I have to conduct the necessary inspections."

The person who came to pick her up was a tall, square-faced police officer.

After Li An conducted a routine inspection, his originally serious expression softened slightly. "I am Chaki Shintaro from the Metropolitan Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division 2. Nakamori told me about you."

Li An knew his information.

Officer Chaki is a college junior of Suzuki Jirokichi, Suzuki Shiro's cousin, and has a good relationship with him, so for this notice, he came here directly, bypassing his subordinate Officer Nakamori.

"Excuse me, Officer Chaki."

Li An nodded, said nothing more, and followed him upstairs quietly.

The surrounding area is heavily guarded, with guards standing every few steps.

When someone came, their eyes stayed on the person quietly, giving people a silent sense of oppression.

Li An didn't feel anything about this kind of gaze. Her eyes just lingered among the various colored gems, but she didn't show any particular liking for them.

Whether it is to increase publicity or to get closer to the Suzuki Group that took the lead in organizing the exhibition, the gems sent to the exhibition by "collectors" are priceless.

Therefore, even if there was no advance warning letter, there would definitely be a large number of police officers guarding nearby to prevent any accidents.

However, these visible and intangible things have nothing to do with her.

Following Officer Chaki who led the way to the second floor, she naturally saw the Maori and Suzuki families, plus Conan, gathered around the display case in the middle.

The people around the display case were not surprised to see her coming.

Shiro Suzuki naturally ended the topic he was discussing with Kogoro Mori and others and went to receive the guests he specially invited.

"Oh, is this Ms. Kuroba? Hello."

"I heard from my daughter that Ms. Kuroba once performed a play of hers, and Suzuki Shiro is very grateful."

"My pleasure."

Well, although it was still unclear why Suzuki Shiro asked her to come over, anyway, Kurian joined the crowd of onlookers.

When Kuriyasu's eyes fell on the round and dazzling black pearl, Maori Kogoro asked Suzuki Shiro with some curiosity: "But today should be just the day before the crime predicted by the thief... The security here is a little too strict."

Shiro Suzuki nodded with a smile.

"Yes, the date mentioned in the notice is indeed tomorrow, so we will be on high alert against his threats starting tonight."

"Because we have no idea when and how Phantom Thief 1412 will appear."

……

The Tiwujin River is the only river near the Beika Museum. If it corresponds to the sentence "following the invitation of the waves" in the preview letter, then this is the most likely destination for Kaito Kid.

Of course, this is just Officer Chaki's personal opinion.

Because of Kogoro Mori's brilliant idea, Kaito Kid will set out from the Beika Public Hall, where his favorite star Yoko Okino is holding a concert, to take away the precious black pearl.

What made Li An, who had been watching the show, helpless was that Officer Chaki believed it.

"Team C and Team E, take your men to guard the location of the Mika Public Hall!"

"Team A and Team F, take a few people to keep an eye on the Tsutsu River!"

Under the command of Officer Chaki, several teams of police were dispatched from the museum and dispersed to the Tiwujin River and the Beihua Public Hall.

After the order was given, it was two o'clock in the afternoon and Officer Cha Mu took some of the people to eat.

When they return, they will replace the officers who are still on duty.

On the first floor, the officers on guard, although still keeping watch carefully, started chatting as soon as their superior left.

"Hey, do you think Kaito Kidd will really appear in Tiwujinchuan?"

"Officer Chaki knows so much about Kaito Kid, what he said must be right!" The younger police officer who was closest to Officer Chaki was full of certainty.

The other police officer hesitated: "But, I think what the detective said... seems to make sense."

"Huh? Are you kidding?" The young police officer's eyes widened. "Although Detective Maori is a famous detective, his reasoning this time..."

It has nothing to do with the preview!

"Shut up, all of you!" the police officer who was patrolling nearby shouted, "Save your energy for guarding. If you have anything to say, wait until your shift changes!"

He seemed to be the leader of the team and had some authority.

"Yes Yes!"

Hearing the scolding, several police officers subconsciously straightened their chests and shut their mouths.

The leading patrol officer staggered up to the second floor.

……

The conversation among the police officers on the first floor did not affect Li An, Xiao Lan and others.

On the second floor, with the presence of Shiro Suzuki and others, the police officers continued to perform their duties faithfully.

Seeing Officer Chamu go to eat, Yuanzi asked Xiaolan and Li An who were standing by, "Xiaolan, Li An, have you eaten yet?"

"We ate on the way here." Mao Lilan refused with a smile.

Li An also nodded: "I ate before coming here, but I want to go out and take a walk around the neighborhood."

She smiled and said, "Maybe we can run into Phantom Thief No. 1412 who is here to investigate the situation?"

As he said this, the police officer who came up from the first floor was walking past Li An from behind.

Although she had only been here for a short time, no one would stop her if she wanted to go out.

"Ran and Sonoko want to come together?"

"Okay, I also want to go out for some fresh air..." Xiaolan was indeed a little bored, so she nodded in agreement.

Li An adjusted his cuffs, then lowered his head and asked Conan: "Conan? Do you want to go out?"

"I...I'm going too!"

Although he agreed to her question, Conan felt something strange.

For some reason, apart from her initial communication with Uncle Suzuki, Miss Kuriyasu was only serious when she was listening to the police officer and Uncle Maori.

She seemed to have no interest in today's events.

But, didn't she accept the invitation just to resolve this matter?
