Chapter 229: Just a Smokescreen



Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the 'Kaito Kidd', who was stuck to the ceiling like he was covered with super glue, looked down....

The anesthetic dart was deeply embedded in the root of her thigh. The corner of her mouth twitched, and then...

Plop!

He plunged headfirst and landed on a round table covered with a white tablecloth.

"Mr. Sanada!"

Mrs. Suzuki screamed, rushed to the table, and pushed the 'Kaito Kid' who was about to be castrated after being injected with anesthesia:

"Mr. Sanada, wake up, wake up!"

It works really fast...

Sakaki Makoto put the tranquilizer gun on his waist and stepped forward to take off the hat of "Kaito Kid".

A handsome man with pale face and boomerang-shaped eyebrows appeared before him.

"I know him!"

Before Sakaki Makoto could ask any questions, Conan pointed at him and shouted:

"He's Sanada Kazuzo!"

“I’ve seen him on TV!”

"Is this guy Kaito Kidd?"

Sakaki Makoto turned around and asked.

"Of course not!"

Mrs. Suzuki, who found that she couldn't wake up Sanada Kazuzo, stood up and said in great frustration:

"Mr. Sanada is the magician I invited to perform magic..."

"Miracle Magic Group, Mr. Sakaki Makoto, haven't you heard of it?"

"No."

Shrugging his shoulders, Sakaki Makoto said calmly:

“I don’t like watching magic shows.”

The word magic sounds very grand.

But in fact, anyone who knows a little about it can understand that the so-called magic is nothing more than a trick.

Famous magicians like Kaito Kid and Sanada Kazuzo have one thing in common:

Very good at controlling the audience's attention.

Before the actual performance, magicians will try every possible way to distract the audience, such as a piece of paper, a handkerchief, a kettle...

When the audience's vision is disturbed by ever-changing things, their perception ability will be reduced to the lowest level.

At this point, the magician uses quick movements and stage lighting effects to show the tricks he wants to conceal one by one....

This phenomenon is called "inattentional blindness" in psychology.

The reason why people are attracted to something is that they are instinctively stimulated by new things.

However, the brain's attention and resources are limited. When these resources are exhausted, new things can no longer enter the brain - even if these things are extremely fresh and interesting.

For example:

When you concentrate on reading a novel, it is difficult to notice a bug crawling on the wall. Even if the bug has entered your field of vision, it will be ignored and filtered out by your brain (I know you subconsciously looked up).

Of course, when magicians perform magic, they rely not only on "inadvertent blindness", but also on their deliberate guidance of thinking.

Usually before the show, they'll show you the equipment so you can see that it's not tampered with, but...

When you are attracted by the magician's actions and subconsciously look over there, you will ignore other places and give yourself a psychological suggestion that everything is normal.

This is a very typical way of guiding thinking. Just like the analogy I just gave, it is actually giving you a hint.

Sakaki Makoto has ingrained this knowledge into his brain, absorbed it thoroughly, and it has become almost a reflex...

I will often pay attention to the guiding words in the other person's words.

He will not give hints to others, nor will he be influenced by others.

"I hope Mr. Sanada is okay..."

Mrs. Suzuki looked at the wild boar that didn't respond at all no matter how she called it...Oh, Sanada Kazuzo, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Won't."

Sakaki Makoto said casually.

He had checked it when he opened the metal box. The anesthetic gun provided by the police, although it could quickly paralyze a person, posed no threat to life.

should.

"Carry him away."

After finding two waiters and placing Sanada Kazuzo in a corner, Sakaki Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally I can throw this crap away...

Using a tranquilizer gun is not Makoto Sakaki's style.

He prefers to use the real thing.

"Take it and play with it."

The tranquilizer gun without bullets was thrown into Conan's hands.

Looking at the tranquilizer gun, Conan felt insulted, and his face began to turn red....

“That’s great.”

Mao Lilan squatted beside him and said with a smile:

"Mr. Sakaki also gave you a toy gun."

"You should be very happy, Conan."

“Ahh…”

Hearing this, Conan could only open his mouth. He was depressed in his heart, but his face was full of smiles:

"yes!"

"Brother Sakaki Makoto is so nice to me!"

"Thank you so much..."

Conan was cursing Sakaki Makoto in his heart, and his smile was very forced, as fake as it could be.

"Mr. Sakaki, Mr. Sanada fainted, so the entertainment program I prepared..."

Mrs. Suzuki said:

“Who’s going to perform…?”

"We'll be at Tokyo Harbor in half an hour. I don't think a performance is necessary."

Glancing at the wall clock, the time had already come to 8:30.

The farce that just happened did not affect the guests' mood. They continued to eat and drink as usual.

Suzuki Sonoko, who was standing by, was a little bored:

“Ah~”

"Why hasn't Mr. Kidd appeared yet?"

"Isn't he afraid..."

"What do you think, Lan?"

Mao Lilan was stunned when she was asked a question. She said thoughtfully:

"I'm not sure either..."
