The door opened, and everyone entered the exhibition hall one by one, and were immediately attracted by the sight in front of them.

As soon as they entered the door, the first thing everyone saw was the blue miracle, a pure gold goddess statue with smooth and natural lines holding the sun high. The surrounding lights cleverly hit the gems, making the originally transparent gems reflect colorful light, making it extremely dazzling.

Not far away is the crimson phoenix of world civilization. This is a brooch that is ten centimeters high. It looks like a phoenix with spread wings and singing. In the middle is a natural ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg. From the phoenix crown to the feathers

, there are forty-nine top-quality diamonds that gradually change from transparent, light pink, golden, rose red, etc., sparsely arranged, depicting an extremely vivid shape, which attracted a burst of exclamation and praise from the girls. Such a mature and intellectual person like Fei Yingli

Lawyers, ladies such as Tomoko Suzuki and others who are accustomed to seeing the world's top jewelry can't help but be dazzled by its mystery. They linger around it for a long time and can't bear to leave.

There are also some men who cannot appreciate the extremely gorgeous beauty of Scarlet Phoenix, but naturally there are gems in the exhibition hall that can attract their attention. For example, an iron opal stone placed on a rotating table, set against the background of dark iron ore

, the bright and changing colors on it are like the stars in the universe. From another angle, it is like seeing a scenery of the starry sky. Because the colors themselves are rich and beautiful enough, there is no unnecessary artificial processing except for simple cutting.

, Even so, it’s enough to make people addicted.

A small part of the various gemstones purchased by Kitahara Sosuke are in their original form, and most of them have been polished and made into various items, such as necklaces, earrings, brooches, crowns, hairpins, etc. In order to better display the gemstones, these

Some of the gems are placed on black or red velvet cloth, and some are equipped with corresponding decorations, such as golden branches, mini utensils made of jade, exquisite dancing dolls, rotating circular turntables, etc. Against the backdrop of light

, The whole exhibition hall is full of brilliance.

In fact, in order for people to have enough space to appreciate, the distance between the booths is not close. Next to each exhibit is an employee of the Kitahara Group. These young girls, who are uniformly dressed, are smiling and talking to each other.

All the gemstone information in the entire exhibition hall was memorized and introduced to the guests in a soft voice.

Perhaps among everyone present, only Nakamori Ginzo could not appreciate the beauty of gems. His sharp eyes scanned the surrounding tourists, and everyone seemed suspicious. The fingers on his arms were twitching slightly, and he seemed to want to grab something in front of him.

Everyone passing by twisted their faces in turn.

However, Kitahara Sosuke believed that his method of identifying monster thieves was too rough and disrespectful, and he always disagreed with him doing this to the guests he invited. As a policeman, Nakamori Ginzo could not enforce the law, so he could only endure it secretly and rely on his naked eyes.

To screen, and at the same time repeatedly remind the subordinates you bring to be more vigilant.

"Is that the Nakamori Ginsan Police Department responsible for hunting down Kaito Kid?" Hattori Heizo glanced at the Nakamori Police Department with a hound-like expression, and said in a low voice: "He is a conscientious policeman."

——Except for being a little stupid.

"Yes." Kitahara Sosuke replied: "After he heard that Kaitou Kidd would appear here, he has been strongly requesting to participate in security and defense work. Although we did not agree, he still brought his subordinates over.

It’s so enthusiastic that people can’t refuse.”

Hattori Heizang nodded slightly and asked, "Will it affect your plan?"

When this man spoke in a lowered voice, not only did his expression remain unchanged, but even the shape of his mouth changed very slightly. Even if someone who could lip read was nearby, it would be difficult to tell what he was saying.

"No." Kitahara Sosuke smiled and said: "On the contrary, if there is no Nakamori Police Department in the case of Kaitou Kidd, then that would be the real flaw."

"As long as you have an idea." Hattori Heizo said: "Also, in the list you gave us last time, fifty-one of them have been found to be connected to that place, and the remaining people are also under investigation. However,

The whereabouts and identity of the leader of the organization are still unknown, and the caution of that organization is truly unheard of. But please rest assured, we will never let your contributions and sacrifices go in vain."

Kitahara Sosuke was not surprised. He actually knew the progress of their investigation better than Hattori Heizo, but he still said in a sincere tone: "That's great... Cancers like the black organization, I really hope they can disappear soon."

——After the antidote is developed.

Conan and others followed Suzuki Jirokichi curiously and were listening to him introduce his complacent security settings.

"...the surroundings are all bulletproof glass, which is integrated with the booth below. The thickness reaches 295mm, which can protect against 762x39mm pistol () bullets, not to mention Kidd's toy gun that shoots playing cards.

Already."

While speaking, Suzuki Jirokichi sighed regretfully and said: "Actually, I originally suggested that Aosuke use 48mm bulletproof glass, but that thickness would too hinder the viewing effect. I tried several times and couldn't improve it, so I had to

give up."

"Also, if the thief suddenly appears, destroys the display cabinet, and wants to steal the gems, all he needs to do is this-"

Suzuki Jirokichi winked, and a staff member responsible for guiding tourists next to him pretended to be Kaitou Kid with a helpless expression, reaching out to steal the gem. He put a lighter close to the glass, and at the same time made a "boom" sound with his mouth,

It means using a bomb to blow up the bulletproof glass.

——He didn't know what kind of bomb could explode the bulletproof glass without damaging the gems inside, but since Suzuki Jirokichi asked, he could only pretend that he, a "phantom thief", could do it.

Suzuki Jirokichi smiled with satisfaction, then specifically showed the remote control in his hand and pressed a button on it.

The countertop in the display cabinet immediately flipped over, and the gems were hidden in a hidden compartment on the lower floor. All that was seen in front of them was a bare black metal plate.

Nakamori Aoko and others exclaimed in surprise.

"Not only that, because the thief always escapes from high altitudes or jumps from the ceiling, so I also set up an infrared sensing system on the ceiling, and also set up some very lethal mechanisms..."

Suzuki Jirokichi briefly demonstrated some of the mechanisms - lasers, gloves, hunting nets, rope nooses, large mouse traps...

Kuroba Kaito silently shed a drop of cold sweat, seriously suspecting that this old man wanted to kill him!

"That's amazing!" Nakamori Aoko looked at Mr. Suzuki and said with admiration: "With these mechanisms, Kaito Kidd will definitely not be able to escape this time!"

"Hahahahaha..." Suzuki Jirokichi laughed and said, "Yes, I will be the first person to successfully capture Kaitou Kidd, and make the headlines!"

"Yes, definitely!" Nakamori Aoko clenched her fists, feeling very excited.

Kuroba Kaito: "..."

"By the way, Sosuke." Halfway through, Kogoro Mouri turned around and asked, "What is the 108th exhibit you mentioned before? Is it here too?"

"Unfortunately, it's not here." Under the gaze of the people around him, Kitahara Sosuke said with a smile: "That is a very special gem. Only when it is exhibited in a special environment can people see its charm."

"Is the special environment the night of the full moon?" Conan was walking sideways, held by Mao Lilan's hand. He raised his head and asked in an innocent tone: "Will that gem change in any way during the full moon?"

As soon as Conan finished speaking, his brows suddenly jumped.

This famous detective who has always been keen has noticed that as soon as he said these words, someone around him exuded an especially cold murderous intention.

The boy looked around and noticed that everyone's expressions had changed more or less, and thought to himself:

Maybe... more than one person...

Kithara Sosuke smiled and said: "That's right. The person who sold us the gem said that he accidentally discovered that the gem would undergo some wonderful changes during the full moon. Our people later confirmed this. For this reason

, we spent $5.8 million to buy that gem, and by the way, we also got a Porsche.”

Some people in the crowd looked slightly distorted.

You can exchange that priceless treasure for $5.8 million and a Porsche. What else are you dissatisfied with?

They are willing to pay ten times the price to buy the gem back!

But thinking this way, the other party also knew that Kitahara Sosuke was not short of money. If he really offered to buy the gem at a high price, it would only arouse the curiosity and desire of the young rich man.

Some people secretly clenched their fists, while others lowered their heads and looked unpredictable.

Conan felt a chill coming over him. He looked around vaguely and was almost certain that someone among the people present must have murderous intentions towards Kitahara Sosuke because of the gem that had not yet appeared.

but why?

Just a gem.

Is it because the value is particularly high? Or...that mysterious change heralds something?

Was it Kaitou Kidd who had the murderous intention? But it is said that that guy never kills anyone...

The most important thing is, does Kitahara Sosuke know that he has aroused the devil in others with just a piece of unpredictable true and false news?

…………………………………………

The first day of the gem exhibition, which was only open to a few people, could be said to have ended smoothly without any unexpected events. It was so smooth that Ginzo Nakamori, who had been tortured by the Phantom Thieves, was bound to encounter a case when he went out.

The Maori family felt incredible.

I always feel like I've lost something...

But when Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro had fallen asleep, Conan took his cell phone, secretly ran to the detective office downstairs, and started making calls.

"Moxi Moxi, Beiyuan?" The little detective sat on the sofa with a blanket and said seriously: "I don't know if you noticed the exhibition today, but I want to tell you what I discovered..."

Kitahara Sosuke hadn't fallen asleep yet. He was leaning against the window, holding a huge diamond in his hand and looking at it.

Conan's voice came from the receiver. Kitahara Sosuke's expression was very calm at first, but after hearing it, a surprised expression finally appeared on his face.

"...That person? Are you sure?" Kitahara Sosuke asked.

"Yes." Conan's eyes darkened slightly, and he whispered: "Although I don't want to believe it, the change in his expression at that moment is unmistakable."

"That person...Billy next to Ms. Fushae is not a trustworthy person, Kitahara!" Conan said seriously: "Although I don't want to believe it, I have to doubt the purpose of their appearance in Japan before.

, is it really so simple just to keep a childhood promise?"

"In other words, I want to believe in Ms. Fushae's feelings for the doctor. In fact, Xiaolan and I met her under the ginkgo tree at Didan Primary School ten years ago. But that Billy...his identity is absolutely unknown.

not simple!"

Kithara Sosuke was quiet for a while and then said: "I understand, thank you, Conan."

"Also," before he hung up the phone, Conan said quickly: "That gem that is not on display... what is the secret?"

"...a secret?" Kithara Sosuke was silent for a long time. When Conan even wondered if he had fallen asleep, he heard him chuckle and say: "There are small gems hidden inside the big gems. Under the moonlight

It emits red light, that’s all.”

Is that all...?

After the call ended, Conan unconsciously raised his head and looked through the window at the moon hanging in the sky.

Although it is not the full moon yet, the moon in the sky is already very close to a circle. There is only a shadow on the lower edge, making the circle look less complete.

But moonlight is still moonlight, a reflection of sunlight. Is there any difference between a full moon and normal times? Is it because it is brighter? Or is it because the gravity of the earth and moon is stronger?

The little detective frowned and tried to explain his doubts from a scientific point of view.
