Chapter 65

"Are you crazy? This kind of place is absolutely not an option!" Nakamori Ginzo shouted at Suzuki Jirokichi.

It would be fine to proactively issue a challenge to Kaito Kidd, which is a normal operation of Suzuki Jirokichi, but why choose to do it in a place like an amusement park where the flow of people cannot be controlled at all?

Ginzo Nakamori was so angry that he almost died.

"The circus star must be exhibited in the circus!" Suzuki Jirokichi snorted and refused to give in.

"Absolutely not." Nakamori Ginzo protested.

Suzuki Jirokichi turned his head and said, "I've already contacted the director of this amusement park and made a plan. I've also got experts of my choice coming with us this time. We'll definitely defeat that little thief this time!"

Nakamori Ginzo took a few deep breaths, and a hash mark popped up on his forehead: "You bastard!"

Kurokawa Akiwa blinked his eyelashes and discussed with Amuro Toru beside him, "I told you, Officer Nakamori will be furious."

Amuro Toru chuckled softly, "That's such a vivid description."

"Damn it! All security personnel must control the crowd," Nakamori Ginzo told his subordinates. "Especially prevent disguises. They must verify all the information."

Due to the special nature of diamonds, the circus night has changed to a reservation system, and only audience members who have won a spot in the lottery can attend that night.

To a certain extent, it makes things easier for Nakamori Ginzo.

What surprised Kurokawa Akishi the most was that Jiro Suzuki actually had a special filming team to help him record the battle movie with Kaito Kid.

Kurokawa Akiwa looked at the busy filming team with envy spreading in his heart.

It’s great to have money.

Thanks to Kaito Kidd, the new park in the amusement park has attracted much attention, and the lottery project is extremely popular.

Buying a piece of amusement park mascot merchandise will give you a chance to enter a lucky draw. To prevent the list from being monopolized by scalpers, tickets are tied to your identity.

Amuro Toru looked at the mascot, paused for a few seconds and said, "What is this?"

Kurokawa Akiwa was a little surprised: "A mascot."

The mascot in Toru Amuro's hand looks like a dog but is not a dog, but it is sloppy with a hint of seriousness.

He was silent for a moment.

"Doesn't it look like Hello?" Kurokawa Akifumi asked with his head tilted.

Toru Amuro: "..."

It cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to have no connection.

When the Circus Star was transported here, Kurokawa Akishige had the honor of witnessing its true appearance. The ice-blue gem exuded a low-key and restrained brilliance, and the plump gem with exquisite craftsmanship was like a human eye.

Kurokawa Akiho leaned forward slightly to look at the gem in the safety box. He looked left and right and muttered softly, "It doesn't seem very special."

"The color is quite pretty, don't you think, Mr. Amuro?"

He looked up at Amuro Toru, and two flashes of blue hit Amuro Toru's eyes from bottom to top.

The young principal's turquoise eyes were still clear and bright under the gemstones, unblinking like a deep ocean that could drown people's consciousness in the dark blue waves.

More dazzling than gems.

Amuro Toru was staring in a trance, until Kurokawa Akifumi called out to him in confusion, then he came to his senses with a startled look.

"Mr. Amuro, did you not sleep well?" asked Kurokawa Akifusa.

Amuro Toru lowered his eyes slightly to hide his tired expression, and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I've been having trouble sleeping lately."

After receiving the mission documents yesterday, Toru Amuro spent the entire night studying the little information on Bacardi left within the organization. From the scant information and Vermouth's hints, he pieced together a story: despite being young, he was incredibly ruthless.

Although there is no clue yet, it is rumored that Bacardi needs to complete a task every month, and the date is in the next few days.

Kurokawa Akishi narrowed his eyes, thinking of the fact that Amuro Toru went out in the middle of the night, and did not ask any further questions.

Under the operation of the staff, the circus star was hung on the sculpture at the top of the circus during the performance, and it glowed with a faint blue light under the projection of lights.

"It's such a beautiful gem, but the inside is full of blood. What a pity." The strange man with glasses spoke.

Kurokawa Akiwa looked at the strange man wearing glasses beside him and frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

Ino Shunsuke: "Hello, Director Kurokawa, I am Ino Shunsuke, the consultant hired by Mr. Suzuki."

He handed over the business card in his hand.

Shunsuke Ino, who has served as a security consultant for many renowned gemstone companies for exhibitions and rentals, only implemented the circus night plan after assessing its safety.

Kurokawa Akiwa glanced at the business card, then looked up and asked, "Why do you say this gem smells of blood?"

"The Circus Star is a very rare and precious blue diamond. When it first came out, the circus owner used animals to transport it to ensure that the diamond would not be stolen during transportation." Ino Shunsuke narrated slowly.

"Animal transportation?" Kurokawa Akishige realized the meaning of Ino Shunsuke's words, and he was stunned for a moment.

"The blue diamond is stuffed into the stomach of an animal. The unpolished diamond's sharp corners will cut the animal's throat and stomach, making the animal very weak, even on the verge of death. Then the animal's stomach is cut open and the blue diamond is taken out, covered in blood."

"I've heard this rumor before. It was the most advantageous approach under such extreme circumstances at the time," Amuro Toru continued.

"Extreme situation?" Kurokawa Akiwa was a little confused.

Amuro Toru explained, "When the Circus Star was first discovered, it was extremely popular. Everyone wanted it, so much so that nobles even hired assassins to steal the diamond. Mr. Ansiel, the first owner, even faced life threats."

"Under pressure, he gave the Circus Star to his younger brother, Nicol. To prevent the diamond from being stolen, Nicol chose an unknown method of transportation."

Shunsuke Ino: "People at that time were crazy about diamonds. Nicole was able to protect the diamonds under such circumstances by using animals for transportation."

"So the Circus Star is also known as the Stone of the Dead, and it's filled with curses."

Kurokawa Akishige looked at the ice-blue diamond in front of him, and complex emotions spread in his heart.

"Because of this experience, there was a rumor that the Circus Star would ooze bright red blood late at night, like the cry of an animal." Ino Shunsuke stared expressionlessly at the diamond placed on the statue.

"You've already seen it."

Suzuki Jirokichi's voice interrupted their conversation. Behind him were two young men and women walking towards this side.

Suzuki Jirokichi: "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Junichiro Shimakata and Ms. Norika Oida. They are in charge of security and gem identification respectively."

"This is the director of this amusement park I often talked about before, Mr. Akifusa Kurokawa." Suzuki Jirokichi introduced them to each other.

"Hello." Kurokawa Akishige nodded.

Suzuki Jirokichi looked around in confusion, "Why hasn't Detective Maori come yet? My Kidd's nemesis hasn't come either. Strange."

Kurokawa Akifumi was stunned for a moment. Why did he invite Maori Kogoro?

Also, could the Kidd Nemesis he mentioned be...?

*

"The new park is truly impressive." Maori Kogoro looked at the surrounding buildings with curiosity. "Mr. Kurokawa truly lives up to his reputation as a young and accomplished man."

"But where is the circus? It's so big." Kogoro Mouri complained as he looked around.

"Dad, Sonoko will come to pick us up soon, don't run around." said Mao Lilan.

She turned around and warned, "And Conan too, don't run around for a while, don't cause trouble for dad."

Edogawa Conan's attention was drawn to the passing figure, and he replied, "I know."

"I really don't understand why Mr. Suzuki asked this little brat Conan to come as well." Kogoro Mouri was puzzled.

There were a lot of people in the new park, and the mascot balloon was flying in the air. A hand quickly pulled the balloon's string and pulled the fluttering balloon back.

The child who lost his balloon stared blankly at the staff who helped him pick it up.

Kuroba Kaito returned the balloon to the child: "Be careful not to lose it next time."

"Thank you, big brother." The child nodded, holding the balloon string tightly in his hand.

Edogawa Conan looked at Kuroba Kaito dressed as a cleaner with half-moon eyes and couldn't help but say, "What are you wearing?"

Kuroba Kaito adjusted the brim of his hat and said, "If this tourist needs help, he can go to the tourist service center on the east side."

"I'm going to tell Officer Nakamori." Conan Edogawa picked up the phone, and just as he was about to take the next step, the phone in his hand turned into a balloon.

Kuroba Kaito stuffed Edogawa Conan's phone back into his pocket: "This means we can't play Detective anymore."

The amusement park mascot had a huge smile on his face as he faced Edogawa Conan.

The sloppy creature that looks like a dog but is not a dog is naturally funny, and Edogawa Conan has a frown on his face.

"Remember to hold it well. You won't be able to get it back once it flies into the sky. Many children cried because they lost it." Kuroba Kaito leaned over and considerately wrapped the rope around Edogawa Conan's wrist.

After tying the balloon, Kuroba Kaito picked up the cleaning broom beside him and blended into the crowd.

"See you tonight, Detective."

Edogawa Conan raised his hand and looked at the bow tied on his wrist: "What is this guy?"

Kuroba Kaito familiarized himself with the terrain in the new park without any hindrance.

The identity of a cleaner is easy to disguise. Every employee in the amusement park works at a very high frequency and has no time to relax, so no one noticed that there was an extra cleaner in the amusement park.

Originally, Kuroba Kaito wanted to disguise himself as a maintenance worker, but this amusement park didn't even have a maintenance worker's uniform, let alone a work badge, so he had no choice but to choose to be a cleaner.

The diamond display takes place at night. If you want to enter the circus night through the foggy town, you need to decrypt the entrance to the passage even if you have a ticket.

This situation naturally did not pose a problem for him. He easily deciphered the entrance from the izakaya. While lamenting that it was not challenging at all, he pushed open the maze-like Japanese-style door and appeared in the castle.

"?"

Kuroba Kaito slowly put a question mark.

He looked at the map in his hand again and again, confirming several times that the dream castle in front of him was not the foggy town advertised.

Did I open the wrong door?

Kuroba Kaito scratched the back of his head and turned to go back, only to find that the Japanese-style door behind him had disappeared. Then a long-nosed Pinocchio rushed over, hugged his legs and cried.

"Princess, I've finally got you!"
