A pink smoke rose along with the explosion of the pearl. When everyone saw the pearl explode, they threw away the pearl they were wearing on their chests without thinking. The scene fell into chaos.
All the audience, except the police, ran out of the ballroom like crazy. Everyone present was rich and powerful. No one wanted to die here. Even if it was just a little risk, they had to avoid it.
Ji De had expected this scene to happen. When the crowd became chaotic, Ji De took the opportunity to walk to Suzuki Pengzi's side. When she wasn't paying attention, he quietly stretched out his foot and tripped the passersby. The passerby who was tripped could not stop his momentum and crashed into Suzuki Pengzi. With a cry of pain, Suzuki Pengzi did not even have the chance to resist and directly fell to the ground.
"Madam, are you alright?" Seeing this, Ji De quickly pretended to be very concerned. He moved closer to Suzuki Pengzi and helped her up.
"Ah, Mom, your clothes. The diamonds on your clothes are gone.”After Suzuki Pengzi was helped up, she quickly thanked Xiaolan. However, at this moment, Sonako noticed that the diamond that was originally hanging on the chest of Suzuki Pengzi's clothes was gone.
When Suzuki Pengzi heard Sonoko's words, she looked at her chest in panic. In the end, she realized that the diamond on her body had really disappeared. When the police officers who were trying their best to maintain order heard the commotion, they hurriedly came over. After Nakamori confirmed that the Dark Star had been stolen by Kidd, he began to organize the people in the police department to look for the guests who had come into contact with or approached Suzuki Pengzi. Especially the guest who had just bumped into Suzuki Pengko. He was the most important person they had been looking for, but they had forgotten about Xiaolan, Sonaka, and the others who had been beside Suzuki Pengko all this time.
Seeing this, Conan didn't bother with Officer Sen and the others. Instead, he went over and grabbed Xiaolan's hand. He pretended to smile innocently and said,"Sister Xiaolan, come with me. I know where Ji De is. Little Xun, you should go too. It's a good time to take a look at the strange thieves you're interested in.”
Since he had already stolen the Dark Star, Kidd didn't want to stay here for a long time, so when Conan said that he wanted to take him to catch Kidd, he followed. At this moment, he already knew that this little detective most likely knew his identity. However, so what? He was a strange thief. How could he be caught by this child?? Of course, if it was Mud Mountain Search, then it would be a different story.
After Conan left for a while, Kidd and Tushan Seeker were brought to the engine room. Almost everyone was looking for Kidd in the cabin, so there was no one there. It was very quiet. After Gid followed Conan here, he pretended to be puzzled and asked,""Hey, Conan, this is the computer room. Are you sure Kidd will be here?”
Although Gid was sure that Conan already knew that Xiaolan was disguised as him, this did not stop Gid from teasing Conan. No matter what happened, he could run away, so he naturally did not have to worry about anything.
Conan did not answer Kidd's question directly. Instead, he took a football and pretended to kick it.? Tushan Seeker expressed his deep disdain for Conan's pretentious behavior. However, he did not stop them. He just stood at the side and watched the show.
"Hey, Sister Xiaolan, do you know the meaning of pearls?”Conan bounced the ball and asked without turning his head.
"Hmm? The meaning of pearls?" Kidd asked in confusion. He didn't know what Conan meant by asking this, and he felt a little strange.
"The meaning of pearls is the moon and women. As for all the guests on this ship, the only woman with the word moon in her name is Mrs. Suzuki. Therefore, the real pearl was the one she was wearing.”Conan said as he kicked the ball, looking very confident.
"But how do you know who Ji De is just by relying on these?”Gid looked at the pretentious Conan and asked cooperatively.
"Relying on those cards! Sister Xiaolan, didn't Ji De leave a message on the card you drew? This set of techniques was to take advantage of the magician's right hand to take out the pigeon and focus everyone's attention on his right hand. Then, he would take the opportunity to insert the card. This was a basic technique. Therefore, when the cards were handed out, no matter how others shuffled the cards, it would always be that card.”Conan, who didn't realize that Kidd was teasing him, was still deducing step by step, intending to use this method to break Kidd's psychological defense.
"If that's the case, since the message is stuck on the inside of the card, it means that the identity of the thief, Kidd, is actually the magician called Sanada Ichiichi.”Ji De, who was about to laugh out loud, suppressed his laughter and pretended to be ignorant. If it wasn't for the fact that this was Ji De, even Conan and Mao Li, who were extremely familiar with Xiao Lan, wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with her because her acting was too convincing.
"No, because I've been…"
"Alright, it's true. I can't stand it anymore. Conan, is this your deduction? I'm really disappointed in you. Ji De, don't pretend anymore. Just transform back. I'm almost falling asleep from watching this scene.”? Seeing that Conan was about to continue explaining, Tushan Seeker quickly interrupted him. It was originally a simple matter, but to Conan, it seemed like he had to explain it for a year.
"Alright, alright. I really can't do anything to you. However, I won't return to my original state. Otherwise, if this little detective sees my appearance, my future won't be easy.”Ji De smiled and shook his head, rejecting Mud Mountain Seeker's request and helplessly admitting that he was a monster thief.
"Hey, hey, when did you find out that Xiaolan was a thief in disguise? And you didn't even tell me.”Conan was a little depressed by this scene and couldn't help but ask Mud Mountain.
"From the moment you deduced where the real pearl was, I wanted to say that although your deduction was not wrong, it was not wrong. But I don't understand why you make such a simple thing so complicated. How could she give such an important treasure to others? She must be wearing it herself!”? Tushan Xunxun rolled his eyes and didn't answer Conan. If this kid knew that he knew about it from the beginning, he would definitely explode.
Conan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and his face turned slightly red. It seemed that his deduction just now was like this in Mud Mountain Seeker's eyes. This made Conan feel a little embarrassed. However, Conan was used to making thorough deductions in any case. He naturally wouldn't think like Tushan Xunxun did, and he wouldn't change his mind just because of Tushan Xunxun's words.
"Now, Mr. Ji De, there are only the three of us here. I won't give you the same chance as last time. I told you to run away disguised as a police officer. Last time, you used the time of the flash bomb to disguise yourself as a police officer and escape from the building, right?”However, even though he thought he was right, Conan still felt a little embarrassed and chose to ignore Mud Mountain Seeker. In contrast, the most important thing now was to capture Kidd. This was what Conan wanted to do the most.
"Oh? Was that so? Just now, when I was borrowing clothes from this lady, I put her on the lifeboat. You know, I'm a perfectionist. Of course, I have to do everything.”Kidd looked at Conan, who looked like he was about to kick the football over at any time. He smiled teasingly and said to Conan. In fact, she even pulled out her underwear when she was halfway through her sentence.
Conan heard Ji De's words and looked at his actions. The image of Xiao Lan lying naked on the lifeboat instantly appeared in his mind. He could not help but grit his teeth and look at Ji De angrily.
"Don't look at me like that! Little detective, you know that the weather outside is very cold. If that lady catches a cold because of this, I'll feel very sorry.”Gid's lips curled up along with Conan's anger. However, he also knew that he should leave. If he didn't leave now, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Hence, after saying this, Ji De hurriedly put on the sunglasses that he had prepared and threw a flash bomb. When Conan regained his sight, the door to the computer room was already open. Just as Conan was about to give chase, Lan's clothes floated down from the air.
After a brief hesitation, Conan finally ran toward the lifeboat with Xiaolan's clothes in his arms. Compared to Xiaolan, the case was more important to Conan. This time, Conan chose to let Gid go. However, after this incident, Conan might have already hated Gid.
"Hey, he ran away. Why aren't you coming down?”? Mud Mountain Seeker looked at Conan and shook his head speechlessly. Then, he looked up at the ceiling of the computer room and asked helplessly.
? As soon as Tushan Xunxun finished speaking, Gid, who was wearing a white suit and a white cape, landed beside Tushan Xunxun.
Ji De looked at Mud Mountain Seeker, whose expression remained unchanged, and asked curiously,""How did you know that I haven't left yet?”
"It doesn't matter how I know. All you need to know is that I let you go again, so you owe me two favors. So, if I need anything from you in the future, you can't refuse. You have to return the pearls that you stole this time.”? Mud Mountain Seeker rolled his eyes at Ji De and reached out his hands, as if he wanted Ji De to deliver the goods.
"Alright, alright. I really don't know what little ghosts these days are made of. Each one is smarter than the last. I didn't plan to take this pearl because it's not the one I'm looking for. I will return the favor I owe you. If you need anything, come to Hei Yu's residence to find me. My name is Hei Yu Kuaidou.”Ji De shook his hand and threw the pearl in his arms to Mud Mountain Seeker. He then moved to Mud Mountain Seeker's side and gave a few mysterious instructions before turning around and leaving the server room.
At this time, Conan, who had already arrived near the lifeboat, happened to see the crew preparing to move Xiaolan out. He hurriedly ran over to stop her, only to realize that Xiao Lan's clothes were still on her body, and he had been played by that cunning thief.
