Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty: Women's Restroom!
"...I would like to sincerely thank you all for your support and encouragement to this consortium. I hope everyone will forget about that big thief today."
Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Suzuki Shiro, was smiling and speaking leisurely on the stage.
His eyes frequently fell on the dark star Amamiya Noriko wore on her skirt. As long as that star was also fake, nothing could be said!
But it was very painful. No matter how many times he looked at it, he still couldn't tell that it was a fake.
"Why did Tomoko Suzuki give the Dark Star to Noriko Amamiya?"
This was beyond his expectation.
Because the main component of pearls is calcium carbonate, they are very susceptible to acid erosion. If the oil on your fingers is contaminated, the surface of the pearl will acidify and lose its luster.
Therefore, even if you touch it, you should shield it with a handkerchief or wear gloves.
Especially the Black Star, which is such an important treasure of the Suzuki Foundation.
Logically speaking, it should not be handed over to others easily.
And Noriko Amamiya didn’t wear gloves either!
Kuroba Kaito murmured in his heart, could it be because her skin is so good?
"That Mrs. Suzuki gave me a big problem..."
Well, maybe it’s just my eyesight, but Amamiya Noriko’s one is also fake.
Kuroba Kaito had a thought in his mind and questioned his own gaze.
At the same time, he did not stop speaking and said the last few words: "I hope that the more than 500 guests who are here for the grand event today can enjoy this elegant and grand banquet here..."
By the way, if you compare other people's pearls with Amamiya Noriko's pearl, you will be able to tell the authenticity better.
Thinking about it, Suzuki Tomoko also came up to the stage, and spoke to the guests below with a smile: "Before that, I want to tell everyone an idea I have thought of."
She picked up a small pink box in her hand.
"When we boarded the ship, we handed this small box to every guest present. Now please open it."
The people below opened the box and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when they saw the dark star inside, and looked at Mrs. Suzuki on the stage.
Tomoko Suzuki curled her lips and said with aura, "Honestly, this is a small challenge I made against that stupid thief."
"Yes, this is my family's heirloom, and it is also Kaitou Kidd's main target tonight, the Black Star!"
"Of course, there is only one genuine product, and I am the only one who knows about it. The others are all imitations. So, everyone, please put this pearl on your chest now and let the Phantom Thief Kidd see what you are getting.
If he can really steal the pearl, ask him to peek at it, but the prerequisite for success is that it must be done within three hours before the ship's voyage ends!"
Tomoko Suzuki looked at the faces of the guests and said with a smile: "Our Kaitou Kidd must identify which one is the real one."
"Hahaha, that's really difficult."
"I think Kaitou Kidd can't tell the difference."
"More than five hundred!"
Kuroba Kaito, who had left the stage, listened to their laughter, and his face darkened under his hood.
You idiots, it’s not easy to separate them. How to steal them next is the most important thing.
"Damn it, I compared the luster of Amamiya Noriko's pearl with the luster of other pearls on stage, and sure enough, hers is the real one."
This would be very troublesome.
Going to the bathroom to change back to his original state, Kuroba Kaito scratched his hair tangledly.
"If we analyze it calmly, Amamiya Noriko's magic skills are naturally not as good as mine. After all, she doesn't specialize in this, but it would be very difficult to trick her into stealing her pearls with magic."
"Amamiya Noriko mainly learned the art of disguise from her father, but she also has the ability to see through magic, and her disguise is very strong. If I try to get close to her in disguise, she will probably see through the disguise.
Technique."
Kuroba Kaito thought depressedly for a while, and couldn't think of a good solution for a while.
Let’s start with the one who disguises herself as a woman. It’s always easier for women to get closer to Noriko Amamiya.
Skillfully disguised as a nondescript waitress, Kuroba Kaito walked out from behind when no one was around.
When he was passing by the women's restroom, he suddenly saw a woman with short blond hair walking in with her long legs.
"She seems familiar..."
Kuroba Kaito thought about it for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. She had no memory of female stars or anything like that, but this was Chris Wynyard, whom Aoko liked better. She heard her mention it several times, so she remembered it.
"Girls nowadays seem to like her quite a lot. If she is disguised as her, it will obviously be easier to get close to Amamiya Noriko. She should not doubt that such a big star is disguised."
It would be even better if she was Amamiya Noriko's idol, and steal the black star from her while taking a group photo.
It's a good plan!
Kuroba Kaito made up his mind, looked around, looked at the sign for the women's restroom, and walked in with a calm expression.
No problem, I am a woman now!
In the women's restroom.
There was no one else inside except Chris Wynyard.
After Belmode came in, he glanced around a few times. The doors were all open, and he knew that he was the only one inside.
She took out her small cosmetic bag and touched up her makeup in the mirror in front of the sink.
At this moment a waitress came in.
Belmod raised his eyes and paid a little attention to the other party, but he didn't care. She was just an ordinary waitress...
wrong!
Belmode raised his eyebrows lightly. On high-end cruise ships like the Sally Beth, the restrooms for the staff on the floor where banquets are held are separated from the restrooms used by guests.
There should be a dedicated room for them in the staff lounge.
"Is it just laziness or..."
Belmode became more vigilant, but still pretended not to care.
After Kuroba Kaito came in, he made sure there was no one else in the bathroom. Very good, let's do it!
Belmod raised his eyebrows, how dare you do it!
Belmode had been paying attention, so he could naturally react the moment the opponent made a move. After turning around to avoid it, he struck back with a backhand palm.
Kuroba Kaito missed a single blow, and the strong sense of déjà vu made him give up and continue to attack. He jumped back to avoid the opponent's counterattack.
He directly said in Kaitou Kid's voice: "Bailey Sweet?!"
The way the other party dodged his attack was very similar to Bailey's appearance that night, and at first glance, he couldn't see any trace of the other party's disguise.
When Belmode heard this, his face suddenly became strange, "Do you know Baileys too?!"
Moreover, you are a man and you still enter the women’s restroom?!
You are somewhat of a pervert.
Belmod said in a deep voice, and in the rich voice of an American man: "I'm not Baileys."
Kuroba Kaito choked, "Aren't you Baileys?! You are also a man?!"
"That's not right." Kuroba Kaito's heart trembled: "This guy might be Baileys, trying to confuse my sight. How could there be anyone else with such a superb disguise besides her?!"
Bermod would not easily believe him when he said that he was not Baileys.
"Except for Baileys, no one would be so boring as dressing up as a woman and entering the women's restroom and talking in a male voice!"
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the women's restroom gradually solidified.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the women's restroom.
The two of them exchanged glances, put away their posture for the time being, and started touching up their makeup in front of the mirror of the wash basin.
Belmode glanced at the waitress's movements. She was quite skillful. How could she be a man?
Kuroba Kaito also glanced at the movements of the big star Chris. She was a woman, yes, but she probably wasn't the real Chris Wynyard.
Outside the women's restroom.
Conan hurriedly ran down the aisle.
He accidentally discovered from Sonoko that her sister Suzuki Ayako had not arrived yet. After calling to inquire, he found that someone pretending to be a police officer told them that the Sally Beth would sail later.
And Shiro Suzuki is at home too!
Conan instantly realized that the Suzuki Shiro who was speaking on the stage just now was Kaitou Kid in disguise.
He asked the staff and learned that Suzuki Shiro was coming to the men's restroom, so he quickly chased after him.
After entering the men's restroom, he opened the closed door and saw a set of disguised hoods thrown on the toilet lid.
Conan picked up the hood, checked it, and smiled: "I see, everyone will be checked when boarding the ship. He pretended to be Chairman Suzuki and got in here."
"But, is it too late?"
"What a fearless phantom thief, watch me peel off your mask of disguise."
Conan smiled confidently and went out to tell the police about the clothes and props he found.
At least make it more difficult for Kaito Kid to steal in disguise.
Banquet hall.
Amamiya Noriko stood at the edge of the garden and found that Conan and Xiaolan were not there. Although she had the answer in her heart, she still asked: "Sonoko, where is Xiaolan?"
"Kiko, you finally came out. Conan suddenly ran out just now. Xiaolan saw that he never came back, so she went to look for him."
After Sonoko finished explaining, she looked at Noriko's dress and said with a smile: "Noriko is extraordinarily beautiful today. I feel like someone at the banquet might confess to you on the spot. Even if they don't confess, they will want to pursue Noriko after seeing it."
There must be a lot of people there."
Amamiya Noriko tilted her head and looked at Sonoko, "Well, Sonoko, why are you smiling so obscenely..."
She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Sonzi, I don't want to do anything like pursuing me at your Suzuki Consortium's 60th anniversary banquet."
Sonoko said very skillfully: "There are some things that are beyond your control, Noriko."
Amamiya Noriko thought to herself: How do you know so well?
Thinking about it, a boy next to him with medium-short hair, wheat complexion, and a kinder look came over to say hello: "Sonoko, isn't Miss Ayako here yet?"
Noriko Amamiya tilted her head. This guy seemed to be Sonoko's sister and Suzuki Ayako's fiancé, Tomizawa Yuzo.
In a previous triplet villa murder case, his eldest brother Tomizawa Taichi killed their father Tomizawa Tetsuji and was arrested.
The first time Amamiya Noriko met him, the case had already happened before she knew it.
Hearing this, Sonoko turned around and said helplessly to Tomizawa Yuzo: "Well, there is something wrong with my sister."
In fact, I was tricked by Kaitou Kidd into leaving the ship late, and I'm still at home now, but it doesn't seem appropriate to say that.
"Really? That's a pity. I have something to do with her."
Tomizawa Yuzo nodded, then looked at Amamiya Noriko next to Suzuki Sonoko, and said, "Who is this lady?"
"This is my classmate, Noriko Amamiya from the Amamiya Foundation. My sister also knows her."
Sonoko took Noriko's arm and introduced him.
Amamiya Noriko looked at Sonoko with amusement in her heart, but she still nodded reservedly towards Tomizawa Yuzo and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Amamiya Noriko."
Sonoko was obviously afraid that her sister's fiancé would be fascinated by her beauty, so she specifically stated that her sister also knew her.
However, Amamiya Noriko did know Suzuki Ayako. The Amamiya and Suzuki families had been in contact with each other since they were children. She often went to Suzuki's house to play, but Suzuki Ayako was much older than them, so she didn't see her often.
Amamiya Noriko only felt that Sonoko's sister with squinting eyes was really scary when she opened her eyes.
Tomizawa Yuzo had actually already noticed the girl next to Suzuki Sonoko, but he was Sonoko's sister's fiancé. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he still behaved seriously, but he was still a little startled when he looked at Amamiya Noriko's cheek: "
Ah, hello, I am Tomizawa Yuzo, Sonoko’s sister’s fiancé.”
In addition to this beauty, he also remembered the information about the Amemiya Foundation, and his smile suddenly became brighter.
Because one of his father and eldest brother died and the other was arrested, the Tomizawa Foundation was hit hard. It would be great if the Amamiya Foundation could help.
But I’m just thinking about it, let’s get to know each other first.
By the way, Suzuki Sonoko introduced to him the story of Noriko's rejection of many pursuits. Tomizawa Yuzo echoed: "Miss Amemiya is still young, so there is no need to be so anxious about these things."
After a few brief chats, Tomizawa Yuzo left and went to chat with some business partners.
Sonoko turned to Noriko and whispered: "Hey, Noriko, you are also afraid that my sister's fiancé will suddenly fall in love with you, right?"
It was Amamiya Noriko who had just signaled to her to tell her these deeds, otherwise Sonoko wouldn't have been able to go around saying that Noriko rejected a lot of people's confessions.
Noriko Amamiya smiled and said, "Sonoko, please stop smiling like that, it's so vulgar."
Suzuki Sonoko was unconvinced: "No way!"
Conan walked over from the side and glanced at Tomizawa Yuzo who had just left. This man was quite miserable. Although he solved the case, his eldest brother and father were still missing.
When Conan came over, he looked up at Amamiya Noriko, looked again, and looked again, and found that Amamiya Noriko's transformation was lighter than usual, so she looked better.
But this is not just makeup.
Conan was speechless for a moment and said: "Sister Noriko, sister Sonoko, I found the clothes and props left behind by Kaitou Kidd after he pretended to be someone else."
"oh?"
Tomoko Suzuki, who was passing by, asked the child and was speechless when she learned that Kaitou Kid had made up as her husband. Then she thought for a moment and when she put the real one on Noriko, he had already gone out, so she didn't care.
Already.
Conan glanced at her, turned around and found that Xiaolan was not there, so he asked Noriko: "Where is sister Xiaolan?"
Noriko Amamiya lowered her head and smiled at him: "Sonoko said Xiaolan went to the bathroom."
However, Xiaolan must have been impersonated by that guy Kaito at this time.
Don't know what the situation is.
Conan looked at Amamiya Noriko's smile, what do you know?
Neither of them knew what happened in the women's restroom.
