### Chapter 99: The Great Insight of Mouri!

The exhibition hall of the Beika Museum.

"Ever since my grandfather collected this Black Star, the Suzuki family has been on a meteoric rise," Shiro Suzuki introduced the Black Star in the display case to everyone, adding, "The Black Star is like a guardian spirit to our Suzuki family, holding extraordinary significance."

Fujino, examining the Black Star in the display case, couldn't help but rub his chin. Changing the family's fortune? He wouldn't have believed it in his past life. But since this is the world of detective Conan...

Could this black pearl truly have some magical power? On second thought, Fujino shook his head. The Suzuki family could afford to buy such a large black pearl decades ago, indicating their power was already extraordinary back then. The so-called meteoric rise probably just means they went from being a large family to becoming the number one financial conglomerate in Japan. As for starting with nothing and becoming the top conglomerate... does everyone think they are Zhu Yuanzhang?

"But come to think of it, today is just the day before the heist notice. Why is security so tight already?"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri glanced at the police squads hurriedly passing by and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. "Though the heist notice indeed mentions tomorrow," Shiro Suzuki continued after a pause, "no one knows when or where Kaitou 1412 will suddenly appear, so the police are taking strict precautions..."

"Didn't I just say? By the river! Most of the police force must be deployed by the river! Kaitou 1412 must be planning to invade the museum from the Tenuzuchi River!"

Before Shiro Suzuki could finish, a man's voice interrupted him. Hearing this, Shiro Suzuki walked over and asked the man in confusion, "Officer Chaki, have you deciphered the code?"

"Yes!" Officer Chaki nodded. "The 'invited to the waves' in Kaitou 1412's heist notice must mean invading the museum from the Tenuzuchi River. Besides the Tenuzuchi River, there's no other place with waves around here!"

"Officer, you're being too naive!"

At this moment, Kogoro Mouri suddenly burst into laughter and began to share his own high opinion. He believed that the star in Kaitou 1412's notice referred to a celebrity. "Invited to the waves" means the ocean, or something rushing. Thinking of the ocean leads to fields, which translates to 'wild' or 'plain'. And coincidentally, his beloved idol Yoko Okino is having a concert nearby tomorrow. The last song of her concert is called "Moon Girl."

So, he deduced that Kaitou 1412 would surely invade Beika Museum after Yoko Okino's last song ends at 9 PM tomorrow, from the vicinity of the Beika Activity Center.

"…"

This nonsensical deduction left Fujino dumbfounded. Seriously, how does Uncle Mouri always link everything to Yoko Okino? Such a random, baseless, and nonsensical theory surely no one would believe, right?

"It's actually quite reasonable!"

Someone did believe it! Fujino turned his head to see Officer Chaki rubbing his chin with a thoughtful expression. Beside him, Shiro Suzuki even remarked, "As expected of Detective Kogoro Mouri!"

This absurd reasoning was believed by Shiro Suzuki and Officer Chaki Shintaro, a management officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division Two. Chaki even dispatched two police units to the Beika Activity Center to guard against Kaitou Kid.

Witnessing this absurd scene, Fujino suddenly recalled a statement once made by Inspector Megure Juzo: "Thanks to Kogoro Mouri's brilliant deductions, every time we follow his leads, it feels like entering a maze, getting farther from the truth."

It's understandable for Shiro Suzuki to believe it, but why would Chaki Shintaro, a management officer, believe it too? This guy must have bought his management position.

As for Uncle Mouri, Fujino could only remark: "Well, that's some great insight, General Mouri!"

"Ring! Ring!"

Just as Fujino was silently complaining in his heart, a phone suddenly rang. He pulled out his phone and was momentarily stunned by the caller ID.

It was Yoko Okino.

"Another job?"

Looking at the phone screen, Fujino thought for a moment before answering the call.

"Detective Fujino, are you free tomorrow?"

Yoko Okino's voice came from the other end, accompanied by some background noise.

"Miss Yoko, what's the matter?" Fujino asked with some confusion. "I remember you have a concert at the Beika Activity Center tomorrow."

Yoko Okino was taken aback. How did Fujino know about her concert? Although her concert was quite large, and the organizers even rented out the Beika Activity Center as the stage, non-fans shouldn't know about it.

Could it be that Fujino is actually a hidden fan of hers? She always thought Fujino had no interest in pop idols like her. It seems she was overthinking. How delightful! Knowing that the idol detective is her fan makes her a little happy.

"Yes, I have a concert at the Beika Activity Center tomorrow, and I have a few VIP tickets. To be honest, I don't know who to give them to." After some mental gymnastics, Yoko Okino laughed and invited him, "If you have time, could you bring your friends and come?"

"I do have time tomorrow. I can come to support you."

"Great, it's settled then!" Yoko Okino nodded. "My manager and I are at the Beika Activity Center and can't leave right now. Can you come and pick up the tickets?"

"Sure."

After hanging up, Fujino sighed. He thought Yoko Okino would introduce him to a client again. Turns out it was just about tickets.

…

After picking up the tickets from Yoko Okino at the Beika Activity Center's rehearsal stage, Fujino left the center. On his way home, he looked at the VIP tickets in his hand, puzzled. These VIP tickets should be in high demand. Given her popularity, she could make a good profit selling them herself.

Who knows? Free stuff is still good.

"Frozen fish! Fresh frozen fish for sale!"

A voice suddenly came from nearby. Fujino turned to see a seafood stall at a seafood market. The owner, wearing a blue apron, was calling out, with many frozen fish in foam boxes on the stall.

"Speaking of which, isn't Kaito Kuroba afraid of fish?"

Seeing the seafood stall not far away, Fujino smiled mischievously and walked over to ask the owner, "Boss, do you have any hard, one-meter-long frozen fish?"
