MTL - I Really Don’t Want To Inherit the Winery-Chapter 32

Two days later, a banquet at the Suzuki family.

Toru Kurosawa and Maurilan came to the hotel where the banquet was held. The hotel was owned by the Suzuki consortium, and the banquet was held in the hall on the seventh floor.

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

Seeing his expression seemed a little puzzled, Amuro, who came with him, explained: "It's because of the phantom thief Kidd. The other party is very good at disguising, and he has appeared in various appearances. So to prevent him from sneaking in, every guest will ask before entering. To be checked."

Toru Kurosawa nodded clearly, it seemed this was not the first time. However, the Suzuki family's banquet was attended by celebrities from the industry, so I really wouldn't be afraid to offend anyone like this.

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

Fortunately, Suzuki Jiroji also knew who came here today, and he rejected the proposal.

Toru Kurosawa breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't accept being pinched or something.

When they entered the banquet hall, there were already many people inside. Well-dressed people gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices. Their arrival did not attract much attention.

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

Akashi apparently saw him too, and the two met their eyes. He raised his glass and gestured to Toru Kurosawa.

"I'm sorry, I saw my friend, let me go first." Kurosawa Toru said to Suzuki Sonoko and the others, and walked towards Akashi. Suzuki Sonoko and the others also saw Akashi Seijurou in the corner and immediately understood.

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

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

It was only until Toru Kurosawa saw what the other party looked like. He was a very good-looking young man. The gleaming tear mole at the corner of his eye was particularly noticeable.

"Ahhh? Akashi, someone you know?"

Akashi nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't mean to introduce you to a friend, but this one."

"Azheng, you've already arrived." Toru Kurosawa walked up to him and greeted him with a smile. "Who is this?"

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

"What does it mean? Akashi, how did you say that?" Atobe Jingwu glanced at him.

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

Surname Department…

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

Atobe Keigo thought for a while, but he didn't think of any family with the surname of Kurosawa. Akashi said he was his good friend and never heard him mention it before.

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

After Kurosawa Toru chatted with Akashi Seijurou for a while, Akashi asked, "Archer, do you know the status of the gems that will be displayed today?"

"Well, a rare sapphire."

"Unfortunately, it's not a ruby."

Toru Kurosawa also had some regrets. "yes."

Abe on the side raised his eyebrows, "Are you looking for ruby?"

Seeing a waiter-like person pushing a trolley over and placing small cakes on the table, Atobe stepped aside for a moment.

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

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

"Ahhh? Special? What kind of special method do you want?" Abe 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, Suzuki Jiroji stood on the middle stage and gave a speech to welcome everyone. Then the gems are displayed.

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

After introducing the gems, Suzuki Jiroji pressed the switch in his hand. I heard a few swishes, and a lot of steel bars emerged from the four sides of the display cabinet, which were connected to the ceiling and the floor of the table. The display case is enclosed like an iron cage.

Looking at Jiro Ji Suzuki on the stage, he laughed and said confidently to see how Kidd would steal the gem this time. Kurosawa's mouth twitched.

Good guy, it turns out that there is such a mechanism on that stage. It is not the first time that the old man has played this set.

Influenced by the atmosphere of the scene, he was rarely more interested in the phantom thief Kidd who was about to appear. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they were closely guarded, how would the opponent steal this sapphire.

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

"Huh?" Toru Kurosawa turned his head in surprise, and the speaker was Keigo Atobe.

"Ah, for the sake of your being a friend of Akashi, I've helped Mr. Ben." Atobe raised his chin, as if it was your honor to be helped by Mr. Ben. Proud but not disgusting.

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

He accepted the kindness of Ajibu, and said with a smile: "In that case, did the other party attend the banquet this time? I don't know if it is convenient to introduce you to me?"

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

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

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

Everyone present had similar reactions. 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, and then the sound suddenly exploded.

"It's Kaito Kid!"

"Ahhh! It's Kid! He's actually standing in the air!"

"How did he do that!"

"Kid! Kidd is here! Catch him for me!"

Adapted to the light, Toru Kurosawa raised his eyebrows and carefully looked at the phantom thief in the air. Judging from his body shape, the other party should not be too old. Half of his face was covered by the brim of his hat, and he was wearing a monocle, so he couldn't see the specifics. appearance.

With such a strict guard, he can still appear in such a fashionable way. With this lighting and this gesture, Toru Kurosawa somewhat understands why the report gave him the title of magician under the moonlight.

"Ladiesalemen-" The phantom thief Kidd, who was standing in mid-air, looked down at the somewhat chaotic crowd, his mouth twitched, revealing a bewildering smile, "Ready, are you watching the magic show?"

"Ow! Ready! Kidd sama!" In the uproar and a little panic, this elated voice was particularly clear.

Hearing that it was Suzuki Sonoko's voice, Toru Kurosawa's mouth twitched. It seems that the eldest lady really doesn't like Kaitou Kid in general. He's going to steal your gems!

Kaitou Kid snapped his fingers in midair.

Another light shot from out of nowhere, just right on the framed display case.

Everyone's eyes followed, and they saw that the display case with gems before the lights went out was empty now.

"The gem is gone!"

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

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

"How did he do that!"

"Catch him and get the gem back!"

Kaito Kid gave a slight smile to Jiro Yoshi Suzuki, who rushed to the display cabinet, raised the gem in his hand and gestured to him, then put a light kiss on his lips.

"I've got the gem, so, I hope everyone likes this magic, see you next time—" he said, raising the cloak behind him. The spotlight went out, and then the hall lights came on. There was no one in the air.

Officer Nakamori rushed into the banquet hall with someone at some point. Now that the lights came on, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, don't move! The phantom thief Kidd may be hiding among you! Search for me!"

There was no atmosphere at the banquet for a while, and many people complained unhappily because of the rude behavior of the searchers.

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

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

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

Because there was a pudding he liked on it, he just glanced at it more. 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 Maurilan, seemed to be gone. It seems that the little detective has also discovered something, is he going after the phantom thief Kidd?

Akashi immediately understood that the waiter just now was Kidd!

"It's really a guy who can hide." Atobe said.

Toru Kurosawa heard a subtle dissatisfaction in his tone, and glanced at him in surprise.

The accident happened in the middle, and the Suzuki family didn't plan to end the banquet like this. At the request of Suzuki Jiroji, Officer Nakamori and the others also restrained their actions a lot. At least let the party go on.

Kurosawa Toru still remembered the gem merchant that Atobe said, and when Atobe turned around and walked towards the man, Akashi whispered in his ear: "Atobe has a little hobby, which is to snap his fingers in front of everyone's eyes."

Thinking of Kidd's two snaps of his fingers just now, Hezechi suddenly understood why his face was ugly just now.

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

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

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

Toru Kurosawa didn't pay any more attention to Kaitou Kid's matter.

However, he still learned 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 message with a message from Kaito Kid. Kaitou Kidd has long since disappeared.

And in the news that followed, the title Kidd Nemesis appeared in the report together with Conan's name again.
