I really don't want to inherit the winery

Two days later, there was a banquet at Suzuki's house.

Kurosawa Toru and Mao Lilan came to the hotel where the banquet was held. The hotel is owned by the Suzuki Foundation, and the banquet was held in the lobby on the seventh floor.

Going out of the stairs and looking at the police guarding the entrance of the hall, Toru Kurosawa raised his eyebrows.

Seeing his expression seemed a little puzzled, Amuro Toru, who came together, explained: "It's because of Kaitou Kidd. The other party is very good at disguise, and has appeared in various appearances before. So in order to prevent him from sneaking in, every guest came in. Get checked."

Kurosawa nodded clearly, it seemed that this was not the first time.However, the banquet at Suzuki's house was attended by celebrities in the industry, so the inspection like this is really not afraid of offending people.

After hearing that the police officer Nakamori at the door actually proposed to pinch his face to verify whether his face was disguised, even Kurosawa Toru changed slightly.

Fortunately, Suzuki Jirokichi also knew who were here today, and he rejected this proposal.

Kurosawa heaved a sigh of relief, he really couldn't accept being pinched in the face or something.

When they walked into the banquet hall, there were already many people in it.Well-dressed people gathered in twos and threes and chatted quietly.Their arrival did not attract much attention.

Kurosawa Toru glanced around, and saw Akashi Seijuro who was holding red wine at a table in the corner.The other party's hair color is more conspicuous, so you can see it immediately.

Akashi obviously saw him too, and when their eyes met, he raised his glass and gestured to Toru Kurosawa.

"Excuse me, I saw my friend, I'll go over first." Kurosawa Tetsu said to Suzuki Sonoko and the others, and walked towards Akashi.Suzuki Sonoko and the others also saw Akashi Seijuro in the corner, and immediately understood.

Akashi wasn't standing there by himself, beside him stood a young man with silver-gray hair in a white suit.

The man was facing the door of the banquet hall, and was talking to Akashi, when he suddenly raised his glass as a signal, the other person turned around too.

It was only then that Toru Kurosawa saw the appearance of the other party. He was a young man with a very good appearance, and a shining tear mole at the corner of his eye was particularly eye-catching.

"Huh? Akashi, someone you know?"

Akashi nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not introducing a friend to you, but this one."

"Ah Zheng, you've arrived." Kurosawa Toru had already walked in front of him, and greeted him with a smile. "Who is this?"

"This is Keigo Atobe, who is my friend. Atobe, this is my good friend, Toru Kurosawa."

"What do you mean? Akashi, how do you talk?" Atobe Keigo glanced at him.

Akashi quickly changed his words with a smile, "Alright, alright, Archer, this is Atobe, my friend."

Department of surname...

Kurosawa Toru immediately understood that it seemed to belong to the Atobe family.He smiled and greeted Atobe who was looking over.

Atobe Keigo thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of any family with the surname Kurosawa. Akashi said he was a good friend of his, and he hadn't heard him mention it before.

But the names of the two were very close, he was a little surprised, and responded politely to Toru Kurosawa.

After Kurosawa chatted with Akashi Seijuro for a few words, Akashi asked: "Archer, do you know the status of the gems that will be displayed today?"

"Well, it's a rare sapphire."

"Unfortunately, it's not a ruby."

Kurosawa Toru also felt a little regretful. "yes."

Atobe on the side raised his eyebrows, "Are you looking for rubies?"

Seeing a waiter-like person pushing a trolley over to place small cakes on the dining table, Atobe stepped aside.

Toru Kurosawa nodded slightly, "I want to find a natural ruby. The more special the better."

With his back to the dining table, he didn't notice that after hearing his words, the waiter who served the small cake made a move.

"Ah? Special? How about a special method?" Atobe asked curiously.

"It's as special as fire." Kurosawa Toru said with a smile.

Akashi and Atobe, who didn't understand what kind of special law this was, looked at each other.

After they chatted these few words, the banquet officially started, and Suzuki Jirokichi stood on the stage in the middle and gave a speech to welcome everyone.Then the gems are revealed.

The floor in the center of the table cracked, and a display case slowly rose up.After a while, the display cabinet was completely exposed to everyone.

After introducing the gems, Suzuki Jirokichi pressed the switch in his hand.I heard a few swishes, and a lot of steel columns emerged from all sides of the display cabinet, and the columns connected the ceiling and the floor of the platform.Surround the display case like an iron cage.

Seeing Suzuki Jiro laughing on the stage, he confidently said to see how Kidd will steal the gem this time.Kurosawa Toru's mouth twitched.

Good guy, it turns out that there is such a mechanism on that stage. Seeing how proficient the old man is, this is not the first time he has played this trick.

Affected by the atmosphere of the scene, it was rare for him to be more interested in the Kaitou Kidd who was about to appear.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, with tight defense, how will the opponent steal this sapphire?

"My uncle knows a gem merchant, and he may have rubies in his hand."

"Huh?" Kurosawa Toru turned his head in surprise, and it was Keigo Atobe who spoke.

"Ah, for the sake of you being Akashi's friend, my uncle helped me." Atobe raised his chin, as if it was an honor for you to be helped by this uncle.Proud but not obnoxious.

Kurosawa Toru laughed, thinking that Akashi's friend was quite interesting.The title of this uncle is also quite interesting.

He accepted Atobe's kindness, and said with a smile: "In this case, has the other party attended the banquet this time? I wonder if it is convenient for Fang to introduce him?"

Atobe looked around the hall and nodded. "Ah, here we come. My uncle will take you..."

Before he finished speaking, the lights in the entire hall went out.The crowd suddenly panicked, and the voices suddenly became noisy.Kurosawa frowned slightly.

At this moment, four strong lights shot from the four corners of the hall to the center. From the darkness to the strong light, Kurosawa Toru subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Everyone present had the same reaction. When they opened their eyes again, they found a white figure standing there out of thin air where the strong spotlight appeared.

The hall was silent for a few seconds, then the sound suddenly exploded.

"It's Phantom Thief Kid!"

"Ahh! It's Kidd! Standing in mid-air!"

"How did he do that!"

"Kidd! Kidd is here! Catch him!"

Adapted to the light, Toru Kurosawa raised his eyebrows and carefully looked at the Phantom Thief in midair. Judging from his body shape, the other party should be young, with the brim of his hat covering half of his face, and he was wearing a monocle. appearance.

Under such a situation of strict defense, he can still appear in such a cool way, with this lighting and this posture, Toru Kurosawa understands why the report gave him the title of magician under the moonlight.

"Ladies salemen-" Kidd, the phantom thief standing in mid-air, looked down at the somewhat chaotic crowd, with the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a bewitching smile, "Ready, are you ready to watch the magic show?"

"Aww! Get ready! Kid sama!" Amidst the uproar and slight panic, this elated voice was exceptionally clear.

The corners of Toru Kurosawa's mouth twitched when he recognized Suzuki Sonoko's voice.It seems that the eldest lady really doesn't like Kaitou Kidd in general.He wants to steal your gems!

The Phantom Thief Kidd snapped his fingers in mid-air.

Another ray of light came from nowhere, and it happened to shine on the framed display case.

Everyone looked at the past, and saw that the display cabinet with gems before the lights went out was empty now.

"The gem is gone!"

Crack is another snap of fingers.Pulled everyone's attention back.I saw that there was a touch of blue on Kidd's empty hand, which was the gem.

"The gem is in the hands of Kaitou Kidd!"

"How did he do that!"

"Catch him and get the gem back!"

Kaitou Kidd smiled at Suzuki Jirokichi who rushed to the side of the display case, raised the gemstone in his hand to signal him, and then moved to his lips and pressed a soft kiss.

"The gemstone has been obtained, so, I hope everyone still likes this magic trick, see you next time—" he said, flicking the cloak behind him.The spotlights went out, and then the hall lights came on.There was no one in the air.

Police officer Nakamori rushed into the banquet hall with people at some point, and when the lights came on, he immediately shouted: "Everyone stay still! Kaitou Kidd may be hiding among you! Search for me!"

For a while, there was no atmosphere at the banquet, and many people were annoyed by the rude behavior of the searchers and complained.

Toru Kurosawa glanced around, and paused after seeing the small cart not far from the side door of the hall.

"Archer, what's wrong?" Akashi asked after noticing his expression.

"The waiter just now is gone." The trolley was the one that passed by them just now.

Because there is a pudding he likes on it, he took a second look just now.Now the trolley is still there, but there is no waiter around.

At the same time, he also noticed that Conan, who had been with Mao Lilan, seemed to have disappeared.It seems that the little detective also found something, did he go after Kaitou Kidd?

Akashi immediately understood that the waiter just now was Kidd!

"He is really a guy who can hide." Atobe said.

Kurosawa Toru heard the subtle displeasure in his tone, and gave him a surprised look.

There was an accident in the middle, and the Suzuki family didn't intend to end the banquet like this.Under the request of Suzuki Jirokichi, Officer Nakamori and the others also restrained their movements a lot.At least to keep the party going.

Kurosawa Toru still remembered the gem merchant Atobe mentioned, and when Atobe turned to walk towards that person, Akashi whispered in his ear: "Atobe has a little hobby, which is to snap his fingers in full view."

Thinking of Kidd's snapping fingers just now, Toru Kurosawa suddenly understood why Atobu's face was so ugly just now.

Under the introduction of Keigo Atobe, Kurosawa chatted with the gem merchant. After learning that he had two natural rubies in his hand, he made an appointment to take a look at the real thing.

Although the other party didn't know Kurosawa Toru, but looking at the heir of the Atobe family and the head of the Akashi family next to him, he didn't dare to neglect.Immediately agreed, and took the initiative to set a time.

Although it was a little different from what he thought, but with the help of Atobe, Toru Kurosawa's purpose of coming to the banquet this time can be regarded as achieved.

Toru Kurosawa no longer paid attention to Kaitou Kidd.

However, he still learned about the follow-up from Suzuki Sonoko. When Officer Nakamori and the others chased to the rooftop, they only saw Conan standing there holding a gem and a note with Kaitou Kidd on it.Kaitou Kidd has long since disappeared.

In the subsequent news, the title Kidd's Nemesis appeared in the report together with Conan's name again.
