"BLACK·STAR"
In the simple glass display case before them, lay the world's largest black pearl, the dark night star.
The amiable Suzuki Shiro nodded and introduced, "Ever since my grandfather added this pearl to his collection, our Suzuki family's fortunes have soared."
"In other words, it is the guardian deity of our Suzuki family."
"I never thought it would be targeted by an international Kaito this time."
"Speaking of which, the date on the Notice box is April 1st, which is tomorrow. Why are there such strict security arrangements starting today?" Uncle Mouri looked at a team of Officers hurrying past him, feeling a bit puzzled.
"Well, the time the opponent announced is indeed tomorrow, but we don't know when or how they will arrive, so we have to arrange everything on the night of the 31st," Suzuki Shiro replied.
It cannot be ruled out that Kaito 1412 will come to steal the gem in the early hours of April 1st, so preparations must be made in advance.
No matter what, this black pearl of the Suzuki family, the dark night star that brings good fortune, must not be stolen!
Conan lowered his head in thought; he was bothered by Tsuneo Ge's earlier 'Happy April Fool's Day' wish.
The exhibition period for the dark night star is not just a day or two; choosing April 1st specifically inevitably makes one overthink.
"Of course, we're going to a high-class restaurant!" Sonoko laughed heartily, patting her chest to show off her capabilities.
"As expected of the best rich second-generation in all of Japan." Tsuneo gave a thumbs-up.
"Hehe!" With her father present, Sonoko didn't show an overly smug smile and reined it in quite a bit.
"Sonoko, are you really okay?" Ran looked at the black pearl in the display case, a little worried.
The significance of this dark night star is not just that of a valuable piece of jewelry; for the Suzuki family, it is a guardian deity-like existence.
"It's fine, it's fine," Sonoko waved her hand, continuing to smile and talk to the two.
"Tsuneo Ge, do you think this legendary Kaito will look like Harrison Ford or Jean Reno? It would be even better if it was Brad Pitt!" Sonoko's eyes were full of little stars as she whispered.
"Why can't he look like Kudo?" Tsuneo asked.
"Huh?" Sonoko and Ran showed puzzled expressions.
Kaito 1412 has been active internationally for ten or twenty years; how could he possibly look like a high school student?
Moreover, why should he look like that guy?
"What a leisurely bunch…" Conan couldn't help but inwardly complain.
So many security personnel on-site are running around seriously, deploying defenses everywhere, while you all are just giggling here.
Sonoko, your family's heirloom is being targeted, and you can still smile so happily?
And Tsuneo, why would I look like a thief???
"Didn't I just say it!"
"Pay attention to the riverside; deploy a portion of the police force there immediately!" The tall, stout middle-aged man with two small mustaches and wearing a suit ordered his subordinates.
Officer Chamu, 49 years old, Metropolitan Police Department Criminal Investigation Department, Division Two, Management Officer, primarily responsible for apprehending intelligent criminals.
"That thief intends to infiltrate from the Teimuzu River, which flows next to this Museum!"
Suzuki Shiro heard this and stepped forward, asking, "Has that code been deciphered?"
Officer Chamu smiled confidently and nodded, "What the pre-notice meant by 'invited by the waves' is that it will drift along the Teimuzu River!"
"The only place in this vicinity where waves are generated is there; it must be right!"
"Hahahahaha!" Uncle Mouri couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
"Aren't you Mouri who was in Division One?" Being mocked to his face, Officer Chamu's expression couldn't be controlled and he seemed somewhat annoyed.
"You're too lame, Officer Chamu, don't you understand yet?"
"Waves refer to the ocean."
"When you mention the ocean, you think of the wilderness."
"Stars are Star."
"In other words, that Kaito is referring to the idol star, Yoko Okino, who will be holding a live concert at the Miha Public Hall nearby starting tomorrow; there's no doubt about it!"
"Also, the last song of Yoko-san's concert has been confirmed: 'Moon Girl'!"
"This corresponds to the phrase, 'when the moon separates two people.' "
"Therefore, Kaito 1412 will definitely appear near the Miha Public Hall at 9 PM, when the live concert ends, to commit this theft!"
Mouri Kogoro made his deduction with extreme confidence.
These words stunned everyone present.
Even Tsuneo didn't expect Uncle Mouri, the fan, to be so obsessed.
"What is this old man babbling about…" Conan silently complained.
"That actually makes sense," Officer Chamu unexpectedly began to consider this possibility.
Tsuneo glanced at the dark night star in the display case beside him.
Does this thing also have the ability to affect intelligence?
This Officer Chamu doesn't seem much smarter than Inspector Megure.
Someone digs a pit, and he's willing to jump into it.
One dares to say it, and the other dares to believe it…
"As expected of Detective Kogoro Mouri!" Suzuki Shiro suddenly understood, a smile appearing on his face as he praised him.
"What an amazing ability…" Tsuneo's mouth twitched as he looked at Uncle Mouri, who was laughing with his hands on his hips.
"Tsuneo Ge, what ability are you talking about?" Ran asked curiously.
"Deduction, it's deduction ability!" Tsuneo said with a serious expression, nodding honestly.
Definitely not the kind of ability to fool people…
"Squad C and Squad E, assemble immediately near the Miha Public Hall!" Officer Chamu immediately commanded a group of subordinates beside him.
Conan wanted to say something, but seeing Officer Chamu and Suzuki Shiro's convinced expressions, he found it hard to speak…
He hadn't figured out the meaning of this pre-notice himself, so he didn't have much right to interject.
"Where did that guy who was assigned to our bureau last month go?" Officer Chamu looked left and right, finding no trace of his new subordinate.
"Nakamori-san left with his subordinates this morning; I don't know where they went," an Officer replied.
"This kid really knows how to pick his timing!" Officer Chamu grumbled, then turned and walked out.
"It's already two o'clock; let's go eat soon!" Sonoko said to everyone.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Although the Museum was now filled with jewelry from all over the world, Tsuneo didn't want to stay for another second. He grabbed Conan and pushed Uncle Mouri out.
Time to eat!
Who cares about some international Kaito.
Must eat immediately!
Can't wait another second!
