Chapter 1497 Red-faced Mermaid
  Faced with Yuanzi's little magic trick, Tang Ze and the others had actually seen through it.

But when Tang Ze saw how excited his sister-in-law was, he shrugged and said to let her grumble. After all, it is not easy for children to be happy.

But Sonoko's personality is the kind of person who gets carried away easily.

Xiaolan and Ayako were also really curious about this magic, and Sonoko raved there that they would definitely not be able to break it. She also said that this was the first step for the great magician Sonoko to enter the magic world.

This arrogant attitude, as well as their sweetheart's thirst for knowledge, gradually caused the two of them to change their attitude of not caring.

Finally, Tang Ze winked at Conan and motioned for him to come forward.

Seeing Tangze's hint, Conan didn't rush forward stupidly, but kept staring at him, as if asking him why he didn't come.

It was obvious that Conan was afraid that Sonoko would cause trouble after he exposed Yuanzi's trick.

When the time comes, he will take all the blame and let Tang Ze watch the show.

When Tang Ze saw this, he immediately patted his chest, saying that I would take care of everything afterwards. Conan's face relaxed when he saw this.

"Sister Yuanzi, I think there is some difference between dreaming and daydreaming."

While Yuanzi was showing off happily, Conan, who had reached an agreement, looked at Yuanzi and said quietly.

"What, what are you talking about, you little brat!" Hearing Conan's words, Yuanzi became furious.

"I just think that a top magician can't become one with such a simple magic." Conan continued to worry: "And such a simple magic probably won't surprise that guy Kidd."

"what!"

After hearing this, Yuanzi said angrily: "Then you should talk about my magic technique!
  You're a brat who loves to show off. Normally, you would have exposed me on the spot, but today you didn't say a word! "

Speaking of which, Sonoko nodded proudly and shook Conan's head: "This shows that you have not seen through my magic at all.

Stupid brats have no say."

Before Sonoko could say anything, Conan grabbed her right hand and spread it out: "You haven't had time to remove the black sticker on your hand."

After saying this, Conan looked at the Coke can in Xiaolan's hand and said, "And there should be two small holes punched in the Coke can."

"It really does exist!" Xiaolan looked at the tin can carefully and said in surprise.

"I guess Sonoko poked a small hole with a sharp awl in advance, put half of the cola in it, and then glued it together with adhesive."

Tang Ze said with a smile: "When it is shaken, the remaining half of the carbonic acid inside will produce a lot of gas and squeeze the recesses of the can, and finally the can will be propped up."

"And this black sticker is just to pretend that the mouth of the can has been opened." Conan said with a smile: "As long as the sticker is removed later, the Coke inside will appear as if it has suddenly appeared."

"Conan-kun is very powerful!" Sera Masazumi said: "It's easy to see the method of resurrecting this Coke can!"

"Haha." Faced with Sera's pure praise, Conan just smiled modestly: "The master taught me well, and this technique was also taught on TV before."

"Sister! Look at brother-in-law and the two of them!!" Yuanzi shouted with a broken face: "The master and the apprentice have joined forces to bully me!"

"Hahaha" Ayako laughed sheepishly, but didn't know how to comfort her sister.

After all, seeing her sister deflated, she still had a little bit of schadenfreude in her heart.

"Master took the opportunity to practice my insight." Conan said with a wicked smile, "It's not my fault."

"Shut up, you annoying little brat!" Yuanzi said with anger on his face: "Lan! Why did you bring him here!! If he didn't come, my brother-in-law wouldn't use my magic to teach! "

It could be seen that Sonoko was really anxious, and she was obviously furious after the magic was revealed.

"It's all my fault." Conan complained helplessly after hearing Yuanzi's arrogant and unreasonable words.

"Okay, okay, isn't it just that the magic has been exposed?" Ayako comforted with a smile: "They must have seen that you have been unwilling to tell us the answer, so they chose to expose you."

The wise Ayako had already seen through the intention of the two of them, and smiled at Karasawa.

"Besides, Conan was entertained by Uncle Jiroji. After all, Conan is also the Phantom Thief's Nemesis." Xiaolan smiled and said: "But in comparison, I am more surprised by Sera."

"Eh? Why?"

Sera Masumi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, while Xiaolan smiled and said: "I originally thought you had no interest in Phantom Thieves."

"how could be."

Sera Masumi smiled excitedly: "Just like the old enemy Professor Moriaki in Detective Sherlock Holmes, there is also the weirdo with twenty faces in Akechi Kogoro, so there must be a strange enemy around the detective!"

Speaking of this, Sera Masumi picked up the black hat on his head and said, "And I also want to ask you about seeing this hat."

"Eh?" Xiaolan said in surprise: "I just picked up this hat in the corridor."

"Then did you see anyone?" Sera Masumi asked quickly: "It's a man wearing black clothes and a black hat!"

To be honest, Sera Masaki still thinks it was like a dream, and she didn't expect that she actually met Brother Xiu on the train.

On the other side, Karasawa and Conan, after hearing Sera Masumi's words, looked at each other calmly and quickly looked away as if nothing was wrong.

In fact, as participants and planners of the case, they conducted a review after the action, and each person described in detail what they had done.

So naturally he knew some details of what happened to everyone on the train.

One of the points is that when Okiya turned back into Shuichi Akai and prepared to attack the last carriage, Masumi Sera heard the gunfire and boldly came out to check the situation.

After that, he met Akai Shuichi who happened to come out, and then the other party "beat the girl with painful hands" to make him pass out.

When she woke up again, it was Xiaolan who picked up the hat when she got off the car.

The difference from the original work is that Masumi Sera met the real Shuichi Akai this time, not the one pretended by Bermod.

However, although the process was different, the results were similar, and Masumi Sera began to continue to trace the whereabouts of her brother.

However, these are only minor details and will not affect the future trend, so Tang Ze didn't take it to heart after hearing it.

As for Sera Masumi's pursuit of Akai Shuichi's whereabouts, Karasawa and the two knew it well, but they would not say anything to him for the sake of the plan.

So after the two exchanged looks, they remained silent and listened to each other's questions as usual.

But before Sera Masumi could continue to ask, Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly walked over with a hearty laugh.

"Karasawa, Conan-kun, you are here." Suzuki Jirokichi said, looking at Xiaolan and said: "I'm really sorry about the train last time. Stop standing there and come with me to show you around."

"You are so polite. Sonoko also took us to Izu for vacation later." Xiaolan waved her hand quickly. "Oh, those are just trivial matters." Yuanzi waved his hand, then pulled Xiaolan and said, "Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Looking at the two people walking forward, everyone followed and entered the Suzuki Grand Museum.

As soon as he entered, he saw a huge crowd almost filling the entire venue.

Visitors stand in front of each exhibit and look at the art on the walls.

But that was just their way of killing time. The reason why they were late today was all because Kaito Kidd accepted the challenge.

Visiting the exhibits was just a side trip, seeing Kaitou Kidd was their main purpose.

"As expected of Kidd-sama, you are so popular~" Sonoko admired as she looked at the crowd around her.

"It's rare for you to come over here. Do you want to take a look at other products?" Suzuki Jirokichi led the crowd and asked.

"Then I'll trouble you." Xiaolan nodded with a smile.

Jiro Koshi Suzuki led everyone to visit the museum. In addition to various famous paintings, there are also sculptures and so on.

And soon, Suzuki Jirokichi led everyone to a room with a huge glass box in the middle.

"There are so many people around!" Ayako asked curiously: "What are everyone looking at?"

"What is that, uncle?" Yuanzi asked curiously.

"Why is there an aquarium?" Sera Masazumi asked curiously.

"Isn't this the target of Kaitou Kidd this time?" Tang Ze looked at the aquarium with a moment of deep thought and confusion in his eyes.

Because he found that he seemed to have no impression of Kaitou Kidd's actions this time.

But it doesn't matter. With his current strength, even if Kaitou Kidd has any tricks, he is confident that he can see through them and save Ruby.

"That's right, Kidd's target this time is the ruby ​​​​on the back of a turtle."

Suzuki Jirokichi on the side noticed that Karasawa was distracted, and his arrival caused the surrounding tourists to get out of the way: "And this gem is called the red-faced mermaid."

"Let me take a look!" After hearing his uncle's words, Yuanzi lay down in front of the aquarium and examined it carefully, "Really, the necklace is on its back! There seem to be many gems on the shell of its belly."

Speaking of this, Sonoko's face showed a look of disbelief, "Is such a turtle less than 10 centimeters really originally intended to be displayed in the first-class compartment of the "Suzuki" express train?"

"Yes."

Suzuki Jiroji nodded, then reached out and knocked on the glass in front of him, "This aquarium is made of hard glass, and the interior is made of cement walls two centimeters thick.

In addition, special alloy iron nets were installed on both sides of the ceiling. In addition, Kaito Kidd's prey was swimming freely in the water.

Even the "magician under the moon" couldn't imagine stealing it easily in this iron cage. "

"But this is really a terrible interest." Sera Masumi couldn't help complaining as she looked at the turtle covered in gems in the aquarium.

"This will be protested by the Animal Protection Association, uncle?" Ayako looked at the turtle and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I didn't do this." Suzuki Jirokichi waved his hand and said: "I wonder if you have ever heard of the famous Italian actress who unfortunately suffered a shipwreck six months ago?
  I heard that this is the turtle he raised, and its name is Poseidon, and the one with the "red-faced mermaid" is the actress. "

"But why put gems on pets?" Xiaolan asked strangely.

"He was hoping that at least the turtle would be saved before the ship went silent."

Suzuki Jirokichi explained: “In order to allow others to take care of him, he desperately used adhesive to stick the gems on the turtle shell, seemingly intending to use it as a feeding fee and a thank you gift.

Later, a nearby fisherman found the aquarium and the turtle inside floating on the sea, and then the turtle luckily fell into my hands. "

"It sounds suspicious." Karasawa looked at Suzuki Jiroyoshi after hearing this and said, "Have you asked anyone to identify the gems?"

"Of course." Suzuki Jirokichi said this in a different tone: "But the appraiser was accidentally bitten by a turtle on his finger during the appraisal, so the appraisal was not completed.

However, turtles start to shed their skin from May to October. Originally, I planned to wait until the turtles shed their skin and the rubies naturally fall off before I went to have the gems appraised and purchased.

But it was too late, so I thought about having a showdown with Kidd while the gem was stuck on the turtle's back!

This can also add an extra layer of insurance! "

"Hey!! The viewing time is over!"

Not long after Suzuki Jirokichi finished speaking, Nakamori Ginzo was heard shouting with a loudspeaker to drive away tourists: "Except for relevant personnel, everyone else should leave here quickly!"

After hearing Nakamori Ginzo's words, the tourists present looked at each other with reluctance.

After all, they came here to watch Kaitou Kidd's performance. Now that they were kicked out, they naturally couldn't watch it.

"Get out quickly!" Looking at the crowd who didn't leave, Nakamori Ginzo took a loudspeaker and said, "Get out quickly!"

"Who is that person?" Sera Masumi asked curiously, looking at the yelling man.

"That person is Nakamori Criminal from the Second Investigation Division." Xiaolan explained with a smile: "He seems to be the criminal responsible for the Kaitou Kidd case."

"Yes, yes, he will appear mainly in cases related to Lord Kidd." Sonoko nodded in agreement.

"Hey~" Sera Masumi looked at Nakamori Ginzo who was driving away the crowd and said with a smile: "Then that uncle is always being played around by Kaitou Kidd~"

"it hurts!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sera Masumi's face changed and Nakamori Ginzo pinched him in his hand: "Hey! You kid, didn't you hear me?
  Except for the people involved, everyone else must leave here! "

"Ah, Zhongsen Police Department." Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly explained: "Serliang is the one we sued from high school."

"And he's not a boy either!" Yuanzi said dissatisfied.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

Sera Masaki smiled and said: "After all, this is the first time I see this criminal today.

And my outfit today is indeed more neutral. "

This is true. The other person is wearing a hat and a white shirt with a black vest and trousers. It looks like a boy's dress, so it is normal for him to be mistaken.
