Ji De's Tricks
"Then first, I will perform the simplest card trick for everyone!”Sanada's magic show began.
"Please wait a moment!" The voice of the CEO of Mifune Electronic Industry, Takuya Mifune, came from the crowd." I was very suspicious of this magic trick from the beginning.”He walked up to Sanada and asked," Can I cut the deck first?”
"Sure, no problem." Sanada placed the card in front of Mifune." Would the other guests like to try it?”As soon as Sanada finished speaking, Sakamoto Shoji and Sonoko's fiancé, Tomizawa Yuzo, also walked forward with interest and began shuffling the cards with Mifune.
"Who is it? Who was the real thief, Ji De? Damn it! Now, it seemed that everyone was very suspicious.”Conan's eyes kept staring at Sanada and the three shuffling players. The more he looked, the more suspicious he felt everyone was.
" At least Mrs. Suzuki said that she had already given the Dark Star to the most suitable person. If only he knew the meaning of this sentence.”Suddenly, Conan remembered what Tomoko Suzuki had said.
At this moment, Tomizawa, who was shuffling the cards, suddenly dropped them on the floor." Ah, sorry!”Tomizawa apologized as he squatted down to pick up the cards. Sonoko and Xiaolan also squatted down to help Tomizawa pick up the cards.
"It's okay. It's just the cards. It won't affect my skills.”Sanada said confidently.
"Eh?" Sanada's words inadvertently gave Conan a hint. He ran to Mao Li and asked," Uncle, I remember that you have the list of people who will attend this party?”
"Yes, I do."
"Lend it to me!"
Mao Li took out a large notebook from his pocket and handed it to Conan. Conan took the notebook to the side and started flipping through it seriously.
"As expected of Shinichi. You noticed it so quickly. Where is the real Dark Star?”Looking at Conan flipping through the list, You knew that Conan had already thought of this." Conan is close to the truth. What about you, Kidd?”
After Sonoko and Xiaolan helped Tomizawa pick up the cards, they handed them to Sanada." Let me give you a card as a thank-you gift!"”Sanada asked them to draw a card.
"Really?" Yuan Zi and Xiao Lan couldn't believe it. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen to them.
Just as Xiaolan was about to draw the cards, Sanada stopped her." Wait! Before you draw, let me use all my cards. After seeing through your hearts, guess the card you have chosen!”After saying that, Sanada closed his eyes and placed his finger on his forehead to begin penetrating. He looked at it.
"It really makes me nervous!" Xiaolan and Yuan Zi looked at each other and smiled.
After reading the guest list, Conan slammed the list shut." I see. That's why that guy wrote that on the second notice letter. I finally know where the prey you're coveting is!”Conan revealed a confident smile as he looked at the crowd surrounding Sanada. He felt that Kidd must be among them.
"Yes!" After Sanada opened his eyes, he grabbed the air with his right hand and released it. Two pigeons flew out of his hand.
"Pigeon? Heart?" Sanada rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying to Xiaolan and Sonoko,""It means the Ace of Hearts, right?”
"Wow!" Xiao Lan, Yuan Zi, and all the audience members cheered.
"Come, please draw your cards now!”Sanada held out his cards to Xiaolan and Sonoko.
"Xiaolan, the one on the right, pick the one on the right!”Yuan Zi suggested for Xiao Lan.
"Eh? Strange…Strange Bandit Ji De!" When Xiaolan and Yuan Zi saw the card that they had drawn, they were stunned. It was not the Ace of Hearts, but a notification letter from the strange thief, Kidd." Just like Caesar the Great, who had fallen at the feet of Cleopatra, I have come to your side…Strange Thief Kidd!'
"It's the strange thief Ji De!"
"Strange Thief Ji De has appeared!" After Xiao Lan and the people around the garden saw the words on the notice letter, the hall began to stir. Everyone was discussing the matter of the strange thief Ji De.
"Everyone, calm down and quickly confirm the secret code with your companions! Nakamori, that Black Pearl couldn't have been stolen by that guy, right?”Officer Kamaki asked Officer Nakamori as he calmed the commotion at the scene.
"He hasn't stolen anything yet, nor has he escaped from this place. He's only doing this to make everyone panic and make it easier for him to do it.”Conan's words stunned Officer Chaki and Officer Nakamori." Don't worry, we can catch him. He's not a magician. He's just an ordinary human who relies on props and tricks to perform.”
It was already very late at night. The Salipes was still rocking on the waves. The night was calm, but everything seemed to happen in the dark.
The commotion caused by Kidd's third notice had yet to subside.
"What is it? The note left by the strange thief Ji De?" Tomizawa looked at the notice letter in Sanada's hand and asked Sonoko and Xiaolan in a trembling voice.
"That's right! This note was attached to the card that Xiao Lan had drawn just now!”Yuan Zi said excitedly,
"But how did that guy put this thing on?”Sanada remembered that he had always had those cards.
"Strange Thief Ji De's whereabouts are unpredictable, everything about him is a mystery!”Hatsumoto said while stroking his chin.
"What we can confirm now is the fact that that fellow has long infiltrated the guests.”San Chuan said slowly.
"Could it be that he already knows where the real Black Pearl is?”Mao Li broke out in a cold sweat from his own guess.
"I think it's very possible, Uncle Mao Li.”You agreed with Mao Li's guess.
" Even so, this place is like a prison on the sea. Does he have a way to steal the Dark Star from the heavily guarded ship and then disappear without a trace?”Tomoko said calmly.
At this moment, a police officer ran in panting and reported to Officer Nakamori that the ship would reach Tokyo Bay in less than 10 minutes.
"Alright, you must guard the entrance of this venue. No one is allowed to enter from here!”Officer Nakamori ordered.
"It's time for you to show your tail. No matter how capable you are, you have to take advantage of this moment when all the guests want to escape from here!”Conan was secretly prepared.
"Xiaolan, where did the black pearl go?”Yuan Zi suddenly realized that the pitch-black star on Xiaolan's body was gone.
Lan looked down and realized that the pearl was really gone." No way!"”
There was a black pearl on the ground that was rolling into the distance." Sorry, please help me pick up that pearl!”Xiao Lan's words made everyone look at the ground. A male guest saw the pearl rolling to his feet and squatted down to help Xiao Lan pick it up. Suddenly, white smoke came out from the black pearl. Then, with a bang, the pearl exploded. The male guest was so frightened by the explosion that he fell to the ground.
"Eh, what's that sound?"
"The pearl exploded!"
"Ah!"
"What a joke! We don't want to bring this exploding pearl!”The guests took off their pitch-black stars and threw them into the distance. The hall was in chaos as the guests fled in all directions.
"I see. Is this your move? Strange Thief Ji De?" You looked at the chaotic situation in the hall and smiled." That's a good idea.”
