Conan Moslin

As soon as Kuroba Kurian finished speaking, Conan felt a strong sense of being watched.

He moved and immediately looked around.

This feeling! It's him!

Kaito Kidd! He's already among the guests!

where? !

"Well, first of all, I'll show you the simplest card magic." Kazuzo Sanada took out a deck of blue patterned cards and started cutting the cards casually.

Someone among the guests expressed dissatisfaction.

"Please wait a moment!" said Mifune Takuya. "I have always been skeptical of this magic trick."

The crowd moved aside, allowing him to come to the front.

As a gentleman, he did not embarrass Li An, but only challenged Sanada Kazuzo: "Can I cut the cards first?"

"Okay, of course no problem."

Sanada Kazuzo naturally agreed, handed over the cards, and then suggested: "Would you like to try it too?"

The best way to warm up the atmosphere is to have someone willing to speak up.

After hearing what Sanada said, Takuya Mifune cut the cards and handed them back to Sanada, who then handed them to the next people, namely Shoji Ryūmoto and Yuzo Tozawa.

Seeing Sonoko's envious look, Kuria smiled and took out another deck of cards. The pattern on the back of this deck of cards was similar to that of Sanada, but the back was red to distinguish them.

She shuffled the cards and handed them to Sonoko, cut them up and gave them to the young man she had approached before, and finally gave them to Conan.

"Thank you, Sister Li An!" Sonoko seemed very happy to be able to participate in the magic in person, but she was a little surprised to see her give the cards to Conan, "Why did you give the cards to Conan? He can't cut them well."

"Children are always trustworthy, right?" Li An blinked mysteriously and waited with a smile on the stage.

Conan observed Li An's expression carefully. He took the cards in his hand and thought while cutting them.

If the Li An in front of him was Kaito Kidd, there was no guarantee that he would not leave some information on the cards. However, he looked at it when he cut the cards, and it was just an ordinary complete deck of cards.

After the last rooftop incident, his first suspect was indeed Li An. After all, she had been impersonated by Kidd once, so it would be easy for him to use her identity again.

Conan later confirmed that Li An had guessed the location of the thief, so he stayed in the hotel that night. However, for some reason, he woke up when the matter was almost over. Perhaps his identity was replaced at that time.

But until now, Li An seemed to have been concentrating on the performance and did not communicate with him much.

Except for handing him the cards.

If Li An-jie is not disguised as Kaito Kid...

Damn it! Who is Kaito Kidd?

Conan cut the cards in silence, looking at the people around him with increasing suspicion.

Not far away on the other side, Tozawa Yuzo, who was cutting the cards, seemed to feel something. His hands shook unconsciously, and the cards fell to the ground without him holding them tightly, with some of them facing up.

He apologized a little flusteredly and immediately squatted down to pick up the cards: "Sorry!"

Conan saw his action, shook his hands thoughtfully, and then shook the cards to the ground.

"Big brother, I'll pick it up with you!"

Sonoko looked at Conan squatting to pick up the cards, and looked at Li An suspiciously: Is this what you call trustworthy?

Li An covered his mouth and coughed lightly, not knowing how to respond.

Sanada smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if the cards fall, our cards won't be lost."

brand?

If it’s a famous brand…

Conan suddenly thought of something, and stuffed the few cards he had picked up to Xiaolan who was picking up the cards with him. He didn't pick up the rest of the cards, and got up and ran to Kogoro Mouri.

"Hey, little brother!" Tomisawa Yuzo, who was picking up cards, was frowning.

The red and blue cards are mixed together, and it is obviously difficult to separate them.

"Just gather them together." Li An consoled with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't take long."

When Xiaolan and Sonoko saw Conan running away, they continued to pick up the cards speechlessly. They quickly gathered them together and handed them to Li An.

Although the backs are of different colors, no cards are placed face down.

Li An unfolded the chaotic red and blue cards in his hand. The two decks of cards were very thick when put together. It was no problem to hold them with one hand. It would be a little difficult to unfold them, but not impossible.

Two-color cards, as a simple card-drawing magic, if the person deliberately draws the blue or red in the middle of the red-blue-red or blue-red-blue background, then the flaw in the magic can be seen at a glance.

You need to separate the red and blue cards first and re-cut the cards before the magic can continue.

She quickly took out half of it and handed it back to Sanada Kazuzo.

"I'll leave this part to you."

Kazuzo Sanada glanced at the cards, confirmed that there were 54 cards, and looked at her.

Then the two people started cutting the cards at the same time.

Obviously, Kuriyasu and Sanada had both had similar practice. Their card-cutting movements were so smooth that everyone was dazzled. It only took tens of seconds to separate the two colors of cards, and the stopping time was almost the same.

Li An wins by one second.

Their eyes met and sparks flew in their eyes.

Kuriyasu gave the red and blue cards to Xiaolan and Takuya Mifune respectively, while Kazuzo Sanada gave the cards to Sonoko and Yuzo Tozawa.

Shoji Ryūmoto pulled Takuya Mifune and Yuzo Tozawa to the same side.

"Stay away from me, it will be very troublesome to cut the cards again."

Tozawa Yuzo smiled apologetically, looked at the two people on the stage with gratitude, and cut the cards carefully again.

Kuriyasu and Sanada quickly collected the red and blue decks of cards respectively.

The moment he held the cards, Li An looked at Sanada deeply and said nothing.

This little episode did not affect the atmosphere of the venue, but instead made them have a deeper impression of the two people.

They are all excellent magicians.

After everyone cut the cards again, Kazuzo Sanada put one hand in his pocket and asked Xiaolan and Sonoko to draw cards with a smile.

"Thank you, ladies."

"As a thank you, I'll give you a card."

Mao Lilan hesitated: "Is this okay?"

"Of course no problem!" He put on a serious expression, but it looked funny.

"Wait, before you look at the cards, let me use my X-ray vision to see into your hearts and guess the card you chose..."

"It really makes me nervous."

Xiaolan and the other one were looking forward to it.

"Ah."

Kazuzo Sanada was trying to be mysterious and a pigeon flew out of his hand.

"Heart?"

He guessed with a smile: "The cards chosen by the two ladies must be the Ace of Hearts, right?"

While Kuriyasu and the others were gathering together to cut the cards, Conan asked Kogoro Mori for the list of guests participating in the banquet.

He carefully checked the contents of the list and quickly closed it with confidence.

He thought he knew where the prey that Kaito Kidd was looking for was...

However, he still doesn't quite understand why that guy made the second invitation.

Why? He had clearly obtained the Dark Night Star that time in the villa, so why did he have to do it again?

Kazuzo Sanada unfolded the cards from the back and gave them to Xiaolan and the other two to draw.

Sonoko widened her eyes, looking forward to whether Xiaolan could get the prize.

"Xiao Lan, hurry up! Just draw the one on the right!"

Mao Lilan reached out and took a card.

"……Um?"
