Her eyes swept back and forth between the three people, and a hint of doubt suddenly appeared on her face.
"Sister Ying, are you guys...sick?"
"Uh, that..."
"Om-"
Suddenly, a piercing electric sound was heard, causing everyone in the venue to cover their heads subconsciously.
Soon afterwards, a young man's voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Good evening!"
This voice... is Kidd? !
Conan covered his head and subconsciously looked around the venue.
That guy finally showed up?
Chapter 69 Fireworks bloom, a fake party
"Kid?! Everyone! Seal all entrances and exits immediately! I must catch you today!"
"Yes!"
As Kidd's voice appeared, the police officers in the venue gradually took action, and under the command of Inspector Nakamori, they quickly blocked the entrances and exits of the entire West Tower.
"Ahaha, Officer Nakamori, your clothes today are different from usual. Is this suit specially bought for this party? It looks pretty good~"
The young man's teasing voice resounded throughout the venue again with the help of an unknown loudspeaker, and Kidd seemed to be able to see what was happening inside the venue.
"You guy! You are in the venue now, right?!" Officer Nakamori looked around the venue and shouted loudly.
The police had conducted a thorough investigation before the party started and found that there were no hidden cameras or anything like that installed in the venue.
Officer Nakamori was standing in a position where he could not be seen from outside the window, but Kidd could accurately notice the clothes he was wearing.
This means... Kidd is in this venue right now!
"Inspector Nakamori! We haven't spotted any suspicious persons outside the venue or at the entrance or exit!"
Officer Sato hurried over to report the situation to Officer Nakamori.
"And we didn't find the megaphone Kidd used!"
"That's impossible! Keep looking!"
"Hahaha, it's useless, Officer Nakamori."
Kidd's voice sounded again. He laughed twice and then said slowly:
"A fake notice, fake Cleopatra's tears, and a fake venue full of fake decorations. I will never show up.
I will come to take over the real Tears of Cleopatra in person some other day. So tonight, I will take my leave. Good night, everyone."
"Om-"
There was another sharp sound of electricity, and Kidd's voice disappeared completely.
For a moment, the venue fell into an unusual silence, with only the indomitable Officer Nakamori still roaring.
"Impossible! That guy must still be here! Find him! Gather everyone in the venue! We must find him!"
At one side of the venue, Karasuma Ying shook her dizzy head and asked, "Was that person just now Kidd?"
"Ah, this exaggerated style of behavior must be him."
It was Conan who answered her.
Kidd's words just now helped them confirm one thing: the preview letter for tonight was not from Kidd, it was indeed forged.
But this also raises a new question: Who forged this notice letter and for what purpose?
"Sorry, please give way."
At this moment, the Yamato family's old butler, Shan Qizhe, hurriedly walked through the crowd and walked quickly towards the back of the stage.
Noticing the anxious look on his face, Karasuma Ying and Conan both had a bad feeling in their hearts. Without hesitation, they both raised their legs and followed him almost at the same time.
"Shanqi? Haven't you found your dad yet?!"
Behind the stage, Kenta saw Shan Qizhe rushing over and asked anxiously.
"I'm so sorry, Master Kenta..."
"Damn it!" Kenta punched the wall and gritted his teeth, "Where the hell is Dad at this time?!"
"The fireworks will be set off soon."
Mrs. Sandong, who was standing by, looked at the night view outside the window with a hint of sadness on her face.
"If Ichiro doesn't show up, it will be too late. By then, the guests at the party..."
"Master Kenta, I think it's time to call the master." After a moment's silence, Shan Qizhe spoke.
"Now is not the time to think about saving."
"Okay, I'll be right there..."
Just as Kenta took out his cell phone, bright lights suddenly flashed outside the window of the West Tower, which was originally pitch dark.
"call out!"
Fireworks kept taking off, lighting up the night sky like reverse shooting stars.
“Th-that is?!”
This brilliant light also illuminated the originally dark East Tower, reflecting the figure of a certain person.
The iconic kimono outline and the iconic bloated body shape, although they couldn't be fully seen due to the lighting, the three people here still recognized the figure at first sight.
“That’s Daddy!”
Kenta ran to the French window and looked at his father's figure on the east tower opposite in disbelief.
“Why is he still in the East Tower?! And in the Observation Room?!
Could this also be Kidd's doing? But isn't the real Tears of Cleopatra in the president's office on the 53rd floor? Even if Dad is worried, he shouldn't..."
"I'll call the master now."
At the critical moment, the old butler Shan Qizhe was the first to react. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Yamato Ichiro's number.
"Beep...beep..."
There was always a busy tone on the phone with no one answering.
"No, the master didn't answer."
Giving up the attempt to call, Shan Qizhe once again glanced at Yamatoda Ichiro on the East Tower opposite, then turned to Kenta and said:
"Master Kenta, I will go to the observatory right now. You and Madam Sandong will stay here to entertain the guests..."
"No! I'm coming too!"
Without following his instructions, Kenta quickly grabbed Shan Qizhe and said:
"Dad is still in the observation room. This must have something to do with Kidd!
Also, I am also worried about the situation of Cleopatra's Tears, so I must go to the president's office to check it out myself."
"I understand." Shan Qizhe nodded and said, "Then let's go together. Madam Sandong, I'll leave the party to you for now."
"Okay, be careful."
After the words fell, the two of them left quickly, and Karasuma Ying and Conan, who were hiding behind the pillar, also came out at this time.
The first wave of fireworks had ended, and the East Tower was once again plunged into darkness.
Standing next to the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked at the East Tower opposite with a solemn expression.
"Sister Xiaoying, what are you thinking about?" Conan looked up and asked.
"I wonder if the person who forged Kidd's notice was targeting President Yamatoda..."
Just as he speculated.
Conan heard this and lowered his head in thought.
The person who forged Kidd's notice and made such a big fuss about it must have some unknown purpose he wanted to achieve.
Up to now, the only thing that can be called an "unexpected situation" in the entire party is President Yamatoda, who is still staying in the East Tower.
why?
What was the real purpose of the person who forged the notice letter?
And there is President Yamatoda, who has been staying in the East Tower. What exactly does he want to do?
Just as the two were thinking about it, the door of the party hall opened again.
Under the guidance of the police, the backstage staff who were originally downstairs came in one after another.
Among them, there is naturally the person that Wu Wanying and the others care about the most.
Chapter 70 The Little Princess of Karasuma Consortium
It seemed that not many people in the venue noticed the scene where President Yamatoda appeared in the East Tower Observation Deck.
The evening as a whole maintained a very warm atmosphere, with guests who knew each other standing together in groups of three or four.
"Good evening, Mr. Maori."
Chris Wynyard walked over leisurely, holding a glass of red wine.
"Oh! Good evening! Miss Chris! Has your show started yet?"
Kogoro Maori's face was flushed and he seemed to be a little drunk. When he saw Chris, he thought her fashion show had started.
"I'm not sure about that. The police said they wanted to arrest Kidd or something, so they brought us all to the venue and didn't say when they would let us go back.
In the end, I am a little worried whether this party can continue..."
"Ahaha! That's such a pity! But since it's the police's request, we can only try our best to cooperate."
