Ke Xue: I got two Kaleidoscopes at the beginning

Chapter 532 Conan: Pretend, Keep Pretending

As for Kogoro Mouri, it happened to be the time he had agreed to play cards with his friends, so he couldn't wait to leave first.

Seeing this, the remaining few people turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

"But having said that, Xiaolan, your reasoning just now was simply brilliant, so cool that it's amazing!" Sonoko shouted excitedly with her face full of excitement, and her hands kept gesturing, as if she wanted to show all the excitement in her heart.

"Eh? Really... I just happened to think of it..." When Xiaolan was praised by Sonoko, she suddenly remembered how she had reasoned in front of everyone just now. She suddenly felt a little shy and responded in a low voice with a blushing face.

She lowered her head slightly, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, her eyes flickering, obviously feeling embarrassed by the compliment.

"Of course it is! What you just did was exactly like when I was at my best. Back then, I was also a master of deduction."

"It's a pity. I don't know what happened recently, but I suddenly seem to have lost that sharp sense of reasoning..."

While recalling the glorious moments of the past, Sonoko shook her head helplessly and pinched her chin with her hand, as if thinking about where the problem lay.

"Well... maybe it's because you haven't encountered any particularly challenging cases recently, so you lack inspiration?" Xiaolan tried to help Sonoko find a reasonable explanation, but her expression still looked a little embarrassed. After all, no one can predict such things.

After saying that, Xiaolan glanced at Conan beside her.

At this moment, Conan, who had been silently observing the conversation between the two, muttered to himself: "Oh, there's really nothing I can do. Uncle Maori wasn't around often before, so when I encountered situations that required deduction, I had to use Sonoko to help. Of course, I'm only talking about deduction here."

He shrugged slightly, a barely perceptible smile on his face.

At this time, Sonoko was completely unaware of Conan's inner thoughts and continued to talk to herself: "Maybe it's really like what you said. I think it might be that I usually use my brain too much."

"My left brain, in particular, has been running at high speed all the time, which has caused my right brain to be overwhelmed. In the end, I even started to lose my memory." After saying this, she sighed in pretended distress.

"Ah? Um... um... well... maybe you can take a proper rest and let your brain fully relax, then maybe you can recover." Xiaolan didn't know how to comfort Sonoko for a moment, so she could only follow what she said.

Just as the two were discussing heatedly, Xiaolan suddenly seemed to remember something and said hurriedly: "Oh, no, I suddenly want to go to the bathroom. You guys wait here for a while." Before she finished speaking, she turned around and ran towards the bathroom.

"Wait for me, Xiaolan! Since you want to go to the bathroom, I want to go too!" Seeing this, Yuanzi immediately followed without saying a word. In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared before their eyes.

No, do you all have to go to the toilet together?

After the two turned and left, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

The originally lively scene suddenly became deserted, with only the Kudo couple who were sweetly flirting with each other as if no one was around, and Conan and Sera Masumi who were staring at each other blankly.

Kaito Kidd: Could it be that this guy didn't see my true identity? How about guiding him?

Conan: Keep pretending. I'll see how long you can keep pretending.

The silence lasted for a long time, and finally, it was Sera Masumi who broke the deadlock.

She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "But, don't you think there are some imperfections in the reasoning just now?"

Hearing this, Conan was stunned at first, then a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he responded: "Oh? Really? I'd like to hear more about it."

Sera Masumi took a deep breath and began to explain his point. "That method of using magnets to hide the turtle's body inside the board is truly ingenious."

"But if that happens, the long chain attached to the gem will inevitably sag due to the loss of support. In this case, wouldn't the chain easily extend beyond the cover of the board and be exposed?"

Conan crossed his arms and listened quietly to Sera Masumi's analysis, always keeping a faint smile on his face.

After she finished speaking, Conan slowly began to explain: "Well... Actually, this problem is not difficult to solve. In my opinion, Kid himself must also be carrying a powerful magnet."

"As long as he holds the magnet in his hand, he can firmly grasp the chain buckle on the inside of the board through the glass. Then, by adjusting the angle, he can successfully make the chain buckle be attracted by the board, thus preventing the chain from sagging and falling out of the shielding range of the board."

"But when did he accomplish all this?" Sera Masumi muttered to himself with a look of suspicion on his face.

Conan, standing by, seemed confident. He pushed his glasses up and explained methodically, "It's obvious that Kidd did it when the carpet was covering the aquarium."

"Think back, when that giant carpet was lifted from the ground, completely covering the entire aquarium, it was the perfect opportunity for him to commit the crime. And the moment Kidd shot the card at Uncle Jirokichi's feet was probably around that time."

At this point, Conan paused, then continued his analysis: "You know, the people wrapped in the carpet were all trapped together, it was extremely crowded."

"In such a chaotic situation, if Kidd took the opportunity to blend in, he could have carried out his plan without anyone noticing. After all, who would have thought that the famous Kaito Kidd was hiding among these ordinary people?"

After hearing Conan's reasonable inference, Sera Masumi nodded in sudden enlightenment, muttering to himself, "So that's how it is!"

However, Conan did not stop there. He continued to throw out a key clue: "There is another point worth noting, when Sister Xiaolan turned on her mobile phone."

"The screen suddenly went dark, didn't it? If she had been using that new phone that Brother Yu gave us, I might not have noticed anything strange."

After a pause, Conan continued: "Did you know? Some foldable phones use magnets to control the flip switch."
