"Hmm hmm" Downstairs at the Beika Hotel, a young police officer was walking out. The surrounding police officers were too busy to care where he was going, because Inspector Nakamori and Inspector Chaki were yelling over their radios that they absolutely had to find Kaitou Kid.
So, this young police officer easily left the Beika Hotel, which was swarming with police. As he walked into a small alley, he suddenly found someone standing in front of him: a person wearing a black bat mask, black leather armor, and a black cape. If Kaitou Kid was the epitome of white, You was the epitome of black.
"Where are you going, Officer? Shouldn't you be catching Kaitou Kid right now?" You asked with a teasing smile.
"See, aren't I going? Too many people make it easy for Kaitou Kid to spot me, so I'm going alone," the young police officer said with a smile.
"You're pretending to escape with a hang glider, but actually, you're quickly disguising yourself as a police officer in the flash of light and blending into the crowd to disappear. There are many police officers in the Beika Hotel now; they'll only pay attention to the sky and won't suspect their colleagues. So you can openly walk down from the rooftop and leave here," You said, looking at the young police officer in front of him. "Am I right, Kaitou Kid?"
"Oh, you discovered me so quickly. You're not ordinary, Mr. Black," Kid said, removing his disguise since he had been discovered.
"You can call me Batman, Kaito Kuroba," You said, revealing Kid's true identity.
"..." Kid's pupils constricted, staring at You. He hadn't expected anyone to know his identity. It should have been impossible for anyone to know, and he was certain he hadn't revealed any clues.
"Don't even think about how I know. I just know, and dwelling on it is meaningless. I came to see you today not to catch you. I know you're stealing jewels to investigate your father's whereabouts, and I can understand that."
"You really know a lot, Batman," Kid hadn't expected You to know so much about him.
"Aren't you going to steal the real Black Star on the Salibeth on April 19th? I want to ask you for a favor: help me play a good prank on Conan," You stated his purpose.
"Oh, but why should I help you?" Kid said in a tone that implied it had nothing to do with him.
"You'll be facing him anyway that day. As for me, I won't join your duel. Good luck, Kid. Don't stumble here." With that, You vanished into the darkness.
"..." Kid stared at the spot where You disappeared for a long time. "I've met a lot of weirdos today!"
On the afternoon of April 19th, the Salibeth was about to depart from Yokohama Port.
"Stop this activity immediately, Inspector Chaki! That's Kaitou Kid! He's using this inspection to get close to that pearl. It's too simple!" Inspector Nakamori said, pointing at the crowd lining up for inspection before boarding the ship.
"Don't say that, Inspector Nakamori. Tonight's party attendees are all prominent figures; we can't act rashly! Moreover, if we stop this activity out of fear of Kaitou Kid, it would affect the reputation of our police force! Don't worry, this ship will take about three hours to travel from Yokohama Port to Tokyo Port. It's like a prison at sea. Even if that guy sneaks onto the ship, he'll be a turtle in a jar!" Inspector Chaki said confidently.
Inside the Salibeth's cabin, the party had already begun. Sonoko's father, Shiro Suzuki, was giving a speech to the guests: "Our Suzuki Group has now entered its 60th year today. I sincerely thank everyone for their support and encouragement to our group. Everyone, let's forget about that phantom thief today and enjoy this sea party here among the over 500 guests present!"
"Before that, I'd like to tell everyone about an idea I had." Sonoko's mother, Tomoko Suzuki, walked out from backstage. She held up a box wrapped in red silk. "Now, please open the small boxes you were given when you boarded. This is my personal small challenge to that thief."
"Wow!" Everyone in the venue exclaimed at the black pearls in their boxes.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Tomoko Suzuki said, "This is our family heirloom, and Kaitou Kid's main target tonight—the Black Star!"
"Of course, there's only one genuine article. As for who I give the genuine article to, only I know! Everyone else has imitations. Alright! Everyone, please pin this pearl to your chest, so that Kaitou Kid can see everyone's pearls. If Kaitou Kid wants to steal it, let him steal it secretly, but the premise of success is that within the three hours our ship is at sea, Kid must determine which one is the genuine article!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed with Tomoko, gloating.
"Heh heh! Is this even useful? How could the Suzuki Group carelessly put such an important jewel on an ordinary person? It's probably on a Suzuki family member." You muttered to himself.
"Sonoko, your mom is amazing!" Ran praised. "Sonoko? What's wrong?" Ran noticed Sonoko was distracted.
"Strange, I can't see my sister anywhere!" Sonoko said, taking out her phone. "She wouldn't still be at home, would she!"
But Sonoko's sister was indeed still at home. She said in surprise, "What?! The ship has already left port, how can this be!"
"That's what I should be asking you!" Sonoko shouted into the phone, "Look at the clock, what time is it now?!"
"But, the police officer called and said the departure time was delayed by two hours, right, Dad?" Sonoko's sister asked Shiro Suzuki, who was reading the newspaper.
"What? Dad's also at home?" Sonoko was completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it!" Conan, hearing Sonoko's phone call, knew that Kid had already boarded the ship.
"The game has begun. Let's see who wins!" You watched Conan running away and smiled.
Conan asked someone for the whereabouts of "Shiro Suzuki," who had just spoken, then chased after him towards the restroom. In the trash can, Conan found a pile of "Shiro Suzuki's" clothes and a rubber mask.
"So that's it. He disguised himself as Chairman Suzuki to sneak in here. But, I still have to thank you, Kaitou Kid! Because you gave me a chance to take off your arrogant mask!" Conan thought to himself, looking at these items.
"Ah?! What are you saying! Number 1412 has already snuck onto our ship, disguised as my dad!"
Sonoko said incredulously.
"I just saw it in the restroom. He used those clothes and props to disguise himself as your sister's dad. Now the police uncles have already started investigating!"
"Ah!" Sonoko and Tomoko Suzuki were both surprised.
"But so far, we haven't found any evidence on him," Conan secretly worried.
"Oh, where's Ran-neechan?" Conan only then realized he hadn't seen Ran for a long time.
"You were gone for so long, so she went to look for you!" Mouri said, somewhat reproachfully. "I think she might have been captured by that phantom thief, Number 1412!"
"He's not Number 1412!" A cold voice came from Mouri's back. Inspector Nakamori glared at him. "He's Kaitou Kid, not Number 1412. Please don't confuse them again in the future!"
