"Welcome to our Suzuki Corporation's 60th year anniversary, this would not have been possible without your cooperation~"
The fake Shiro Suzuki raise his wine glass as he said this statement, since most of the people invited in this anniversary are the people that cooperated and made an alliance with the Suzuki Corporation and has the status of being head of a large company or CEO as their sons and daughters join the party while some are family members that represents their company such as Yuzo Tomizawa, that should have been the fiancé of Ayako Suzuki. But in this story, he is just an ex painter that would stalk on Ayako Suzuki. Even his father was surprise on why his son Yuzo that hated business and became a painter suddenly wanted to enter their company and learn how to do business.
He investigate a little and was surprise that his son seem to have fallen in love with the elder daughter of the Suzuki's corporation, in which he negotiated before but sadly Shiro and Tomoko rejected the marriage proposal. So seeing that Yuzo working hard and learning inside the company, he ask him to represent his company so that he gets to see Ayako Suzuki. Yuzo happily agreed as he stared upon the whole room, sadly he only saw Ayako's little sister Sonoko happily talking to her friend.
But when he saw Seiya, his expression was a little ugly as he investigated who goes in and out of the Suzuki Mansion, he felt threatened seeing Seiya around this part because it shows that he still has a connection with the Suzuki Family. Seiya feeling the gaze immediately turned his head around as he saw Yuzo who avoided his gaze, he smirks before going towards where Sonoko was as Tomoko in the stage spoke of her thought.
"I have prepared a special twist for tonight, before you all boarded this ship. Our waiters have given you all a small box. Please open them now as this is a challenge from me to that foolish thief."
"Th-This is?!"
Everyone opened the small box given to them as they saw a Black Star inside their boxes, Tomoko hearing their surprises smirk as she said.
"Yes, this is our family symbol and also Kaitou Kid's target tonight, the black star~ Of course, there is only one genuine pearl in this room and I am the only one who knows who holds the real one. The rest are all flawless copies."
Conan had his mouth wide open on how smart Tomoko Suzuki's plan, while Mouri Kogoro was staring at his Black Star then staring at his daughter's black star as he tried to find the difference between them. Tomoko cough as she said.
"Now please wear them and show them to Kaitou Kid and Kid if you can take it, then take it. That is of course, if you can find the real one during the three hours we're on board."
The Fake Shiro Suzuki wipe the sweat on his forehead as he thought.
'What a cunning business woman, but *hihi* you don't know that I already saw that the real one is in your hand."
Kaitou Kid had to look at the pearl a few times before becoming certain that it was a real one, he just didn't know that after he went to the bathroom that time. Seiya has already replaced Tomoko's Black Star into his fake while the real one was hiding inside the hidden compartment of his leather bag. Ran complemented Tomoko as she said to Sonoko.
"Sonoko, your mom is really something~ Hmn? What's wrong?"
Ran stared at Sonoko who was looking around. Sonoko spoke as she kept on finding someone.
"I'm looking for Seiya..."
"Isn't he with your mom?"
"I'm not sure..."
Conan who was also looking at people suddenly saw Shiro Suzuki leaving the vicinity as he thought.
'Isn't uncle Shiro going to talk to his fellow friends? This is suspicious.'
Conan couldn't help but follow Shiro onto the hallway as his plot armor made Ran and Kogoro forget about his existence, Sonoko who found Seiya walking around immediately pulled him over as Ran waive her hand while saying.
"Hello, Seiya-san."
"Hello, Ran. How are you?"
Seiya and Ran talk about their current events as Sonoko became a third wheeler as she pouted. Kogoro became busy with himself by drinking free wine that is on the table, he didn't look at Seiya because he look displeasing after his idol invited Seiya for a cup of coffee. He didn't even know that his Idol Yoko wanted Seiya to accompany her while she act in a horror movie, if he knew. He would hate Seiya to death. Seiya noticed Conan was missing so he asked Ran.
"Ran, where is Conan?"
"Ah? Where did Conan ran off too?"
Ran was a bit speechless as she didn't see where Conan ran off too, she then stood up as she said.
"I go find conan, I be right back~"
"Okay, Ran be careful~ scream if you find the thief~"
Sonoko waive her other hand as she secretly held Seiya's hand as they sat down, she didn't know Yuzo who was currently taking a sneak peek saw this action as Seiya's Threat level in his eyes suddenly decrease as he thought in relief.
'So this guy is after Sonoko not Ayako *Whew* It means I still have a chance.'
Yuzo with his heart feeling more determined than ever ate joyfully as Tomoko walks towards her daughter and Seiya, she then asked them.
"How is the party?"
"It's great mom, I wonder when will Kaitou Kid show up?"
"It's okay, I still like small private parties than entering a big one."
Seiya shook his head as he didn't like meeting with CEO as you really don't know if they are good people since most of them would only interact with others if they have motives or goals to accomplish. Tomoko sat down beside them as Conan was rushing towards them as he said.
"Auntie, Kaitou Kid is already in the ship!"
Conan showed them the face skin that he found on the bathroom floor, Sonoko was surprise as he said.
"So did you see his face?"
"No, I only saw the tools and clothes he used, now the police are investigating inside the bathroom."
Tomoko motioned at Conan to calm down as Seiya who was looking around suddenly saw someone he is familiar, he couldn't help but mutter as Sonoko heard his statement.
"Isn't that Aoko?"
"Aoko? Isn't that Ran?"
Sonoko stared where Seiya was looking at as she saw Aoko Nakamori
"Nope that is definitely Aoko, look she is wearing a different gown than Ran's Red dress..."
"Your right, but maybe she is Kaitou kid!"
"I don't think that kid would dress as a woman, come lets introduce you to her who I have treated before."
"Okay~"
Seiya led Sonoko towards Aoko who was trying to find her dad, she was surprise when she heard someone calling her name.
"Student Aoko, how are you?"
"Eh? Doctor Seiya are you also invited?"
"*Nodded* I am, by the way I would like to introduce to you. My friend Sonoko~"
"Hi, I'm Sonoko Suzuki. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, My name is Aoko Nakamori~"
"Oh, Inspector Nakamori's Daughter...Hmn" -Sonoko was surprise
Aoko shook hands with Sonoko as Sonoko spoke while opening her phone to show ran's picture.
"Aoko, you really look like my best friend~"
"Really?"
Aoko was surprise as Sonoko showed her Ran's photo in which made her thought.
'Did my dad cheated on my mom?'
Aoko then shook her head as she thought that it was impossible, they continued to talk as they discuss a similar topic such as school things as they exchanged numbers. Suddenly the lights of the room turned off, Inspector Nakamori used his radio as he scolded his fellow police officer that was in the generator room.
"Hey, you in the generator room! what the hell are you doing?!"
"Ah, that is, inspector, you see, uh....*Booof*"
A smoke bomb suddenly exploded in a corner ceiling of the room as a 'Kaitou Kid' appeared with the lights flashing towards him, he said as the white top hat covered most of his face.
"You guys have already lose~ I already have the Black Star in my hand!"
'Kaitou Kid' threw it upward from his hand to show that he has a black star, Mouri Kogoro and Conan was shock as Kogoro said.
"Impossible?!"
Sonoko just sneered as she thought.
'He is not cooler than my Seiya~ What a show off...'
"My, My, such a bothersome thief~ Looks like I need to teach the bad boy a lesson."
Tomoko opened her purse as she took out a small pistol which made Conan stare at Tomoko, he was about to shout "Stop" But he was too late as Tomoko fired her pistol as she aimed at 'Kaitou Kid'.
*BANG! BANG! BANG!*
Tomoko blew the smoke from her barrel as 'Kaitou Kid' who was shot in the ceilling drop onto a guest table, Inspector Nakamori couldn't help but shout at Tomoko.
"What Have You Done?!"
