Chapter 100: The Show Begins
In the afternoon, Lai Qixiao and Black Feather Kaito converge again, and in a few hours, their plan to lure the snake out of the hole will begin.
The two found a secluded spot and revised their previous plan of action.
"An hour later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, you'll be in the lobby of the hotel as Kidd the Monster." Lai Qixiao said to Black Feather Kaidou, "Then announce your purpose to everyone in the hotel." ”
"Can you seduce the Night Baron out?" Kuroba Kaito was still skeptical, "Is he really a guest in this hotel?" ”
"Not really, as soon as you show up, the news will reach his ears as soon as possible. So don't worry about that. Lai Qixiao said, "There is also about the location of the ambush, you don't say it directly, it's best to tell the people present in the form of a code." ”
"To do this so as not to implicate innocent people?" Black Feather Kaito frowned.
"Yes, with the Night Baron's skills, he will definitely be able to decipher the code, but not others, especially the police. My idea is that the less people know about the ambush, the better, so as not to hurt the innocent. ”
"I see, I'll think about it later...... By the way, after discussing the planned bait with my assistant, I had a new idea. ”
With that, Kuroba Kaito took out a beautiful gem from his pocket. He put the gem in the hands of Lai Qixiao and said to him:
"This gem is a fake that I prepared for a previous operation, and it has little value. My idea is to use this as bait to lure the Night Baron. ”
"After all, it is not credible to have to make up a legend of a treasure. Let's just say that this fake is a gem that I stole but didn't return, and now I want to return it to the police, but out of distrust of the police, I decided to put them to the test......"
"I see, it's a way to go. But the fakes are to be handed over to me for safekeeping. Lai Qixiao took the fake gem from Black Feather Kaidou, "The other party also has the skill to identify gemstones, and he must not see the Night Baron before he is fished out." ”
"Okay, then the night's ambush will be left to you alone." Kuroba Kaito stood up and prepared to leave, "I feel that with my abilities, staying there will only be a hindrance. ”
"Then if it's okay, I'll go first! Let's watch me perform! ”
With that, Black Feather Kaito spread his gliding wings, said goodbye to Laiqi Xiao, and went back to prepare for a gorgeous appearance in an hour. Lai Qixiao also got up and left, and the next thing he had to do was very simple, that is, to invite the people who knew the "Legend of the Night Baron" to the lobby of the hotel, so that they could witness the sudden appearance of the strange thief Kidd.
Only in this way will the Baron of the Night, who inhabits their cognition, be lured out.
…………
At 2:55 p.m., everyone who participated in this trip gathered at the invitation of Lai Qixiao and sat in the lobby of the hotel.
"Mr. Ehara, is there something you called us out for?" Shiro Konno pushed his glasses, "Did you find a clue about the organizer?" ”
Hideko Uejo, as well as the couple Satoshi Maeda and Akiko Sayama, also looked at Tokio Ehara and waited for him to explain. And Kenichiro Kaneshiro, who has bad eyes, is talking to Ryuzaburo Otomo behind him, as if he is talking about something.
In order to hide his actions as much as possible, Laiqixiao chose to use the repentant Jiangyuan Shio to summon others over. It's not difficult to let the repentant and tormented conscience of Jiang Yuan Shinan do this, Lai Qixiao just hugged his head and cried and pretended to be worried, and then pretended to induce him unintentionally, and asked him to apologize and repent to the rest of the tour group.
After being stunned for a while, Ehara stood up and said to everyone:
"That's right, I invite everyone to get together this time, because I have something to say." At this time, Ehara Shinan did not have the obscene appearance of yesterday, his expression was serious, and some tears could be seen. His ex-wife, Hideko Uejo, was a little surprised, she had never seen Tokio Ehara look like this.
Lai Qixiao looked at his watch quietly, there were twenty seconds left until three o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed that Ehara Shio's apology meeting was about to be interrupted by a gorgeous magic show.
Sure enough, just as Ehara was about to apologize to the IT practitioners in front of him who hated hackers, a young man suddenly walked to the center of the hall and waved to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Good afternoon, everyone! The young man said, "I'm a magician who is on a nationwide tour, and I'm honored to meet you in Izu today." At the invitation of the owner of the hotel, I will give you a wonderful performance! ”、
The waiters at the scene looked at each other, they had not been notified in advance. The patrons in the hall were very interested and applauded the young people who were preparing to perform.
"Mr. Ehara, why don't you save your words until the end of the performance?" Lai Qixiao took the initiative to say at this time, "It looks like it will be very noisy here later, and your voice will probably be muffled." ”
“…… Oh, I see. Ehara sat down stunned, while the others also faced the magician in the center of the hall, waiting for his performance.
"Very good, thank you for the applause!" The magician bowed slightly to the audience, "Then now, the show begins!" ”
"Please touch the underside of your desk and see if there's a card stuck to it?"
Lai Qixiao reached under the table, and sure enough, he touched a card. He tore off the card and read it along with the other guests who had got it:
"At nine o'clock tonight, I will put the stolen gem in the location indicated by the code, hoping to return it to its original owner, Kidd the Strange Thief."
"Yes, ladies and gentlemen!" Black Feather Kaito lifted his disguise and made a gorgeous appearance with the appearance of Kidd, the monster thief, "My show is about to begin!" ”
"Whoever you can, as long as you can unlock my code, I will obediently present the gem with both hands! Please remember to help me inform the police, I am looking forward to his return to the owner! ”
Kuroba Kaito recited the code he had designed in public, then lifted his cloak and bowed deeply to the audience again.
"Then distinguished viewers, we will meet you at nine o'clock tonight!"
