This evening, the famous Eddid Company will hold a party to commemorate the company's 20th anniversary in its own Petronas Twin Towers.

Among them, the famous Maori detective also received an invitation to the gala.

"Eddid Corporation? Is it the famous luxury brand? Maoliran asked.

"Well, a global company that started with the design of luxury bags, and then gradually developed into other luxury fields, focusing on high-end consumption." Karasuma explained.

"That's amazing! But why would such a big brand company invite Dad? ”

"Wowhaha! That's of course because my Maori Kogoro's fame has long been ......"

"I guess it's because of Kidd the Thief?"

Interrupting Mori Kogoro's narcissistic words without mercy, Conan pointed to a news item playing on TV.

At this time, on TV, it happened to be an interview program with an old man in kimono.

The old man looked sixty or seventy years old, wearing a colorful kimono, with a big back and a mustache, and the whole person looked very aura.

The subtitles at the bottom of the screen also indicate the identity of this old man: Ichiro Owada, the founder and president of Ed Corporation.

"[I wish you a good party, please let me offer a flower too!' Tears of Cleopatra' I will take it...... Monster Thief KID】

Mr. Owada, what do you think of this teaser letter from Kidd the Strange Thief? ”

"Humph! Stupidity! Amusing! ”

On TV, in the face of reporters' inquiries, Yamada Ichiro showed extreme disdain.

"Kidd the Thief? It's just a boring farce! I have already contacted the police, and Mr. Mori, a famous detective known as 'Sleeping Kogoro', has also accepted my invitation to attend the party tonight.

Hum...... Kidd the Thief? If you have the ability, you will come! Come and steal my Tears of Cleopatra! Hahaha! ”

On TV, Yamada Ichiro's laughter was still echoing, and outside the TV, Mao Liran and the others were already shocked.

"At today's party, Kidd actually sent a notice letter......

"Kidd?" Karasuma looked at Moriran curiously, she hadn't heard the name.

"Ah, Sister Ying, you haven't been in Japan for a long time, so you shouldn't have heard of it, right?

Kidd is a monster thief who only steals gems, and he says this because he always returns the gems after the theft.

Then, he is also good at disguise and magic, often tricking the police who try to arrest him, but he never kills, in short, he is a very special and strange person.

I really didn't expect that he would send a notice letter to Ed Company this time......"

"No, this notice letter shouldn't have been sent by Kidd." Conan looked earnestly at the teaser letter from Kidd the Strange Thief released on TV, and suddenly spoke.

"Kidd's notice letter always makes it clear when and where he will steal the gem, but this notice letter does not have it."

"Huh? It seems to be a sigh ......."

"In other words, is this notice letter forged by someone else?" Karasuma asked.

She doesn't know much about Kidd the Thief, and can only judge based on the information provided by Conan.

"Well, I'm afraid so." Conan nodded, his face solemn.

There is one sentence he actually didn't say, just Kidd's eccentric and arrogant temperament, even if this notice letter was really forged by someone else, I'm afraid he will definitely appear at that time, right?

Tonight's party may not be so simple......

“……”

Ed Twin Towers, one of the landmarks of Rice Flower City.

According to the geographical location, it is divided into the east tower and the west tower, and there are interconnected floors on the lower floors between the two towers.

In order to limit the space that Kidd the Thief can move, tonight's party will only be held in the West Tower, and the East Tower will be cordoned off by the police, and no one will be allowed to enter except for some detectives and the Owada family.

And the famous Tear of Cleopatra will only be displayed in the West Tower.

At night, the gate of the West Tower Ballroom is bustling with activity, and because of the strange thief Kidd, many well-dressed people line up at the door, waiting to be investigated by the police.

"Wow, when is this going to be?" Looking at the long line, Conan couldn't help but complain.

"Who knows? I can only take a look at this luxurious house magazine they sent to kill time. Gray Plains, who was standing behind him, replied.

"Really...... Alas?! Gray Plains?! ”

As if only then did he realize that something was wrong, Conan turned his head sharply and looked at the gray plain behind him in shock.

"What's wrong?" Gray Yuan Wai put down the house book in her hand, she seemed to be waiting for Conan's reaction, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she was smiling.

Behind Ash Hara, Dr. Asa also smiled and said hello to Conan.

"Doctor? And a little mourning? Why are you here? Mao Lilan heard the voice and asked in surprise.

"Haha." When Dr. Asa heard this, he raised his hand and touched his big belly, and replied with a smile: "I made some small inventions for Mr. Owada in the early years, and he and I are actually friends, so I was invited to come this time." ”

"Good evening, Doctor, and a little mourning." Karasuma Ying also greeted the two.

"Hmmm......"

Gray Yuan Ai glanced up at her, answered in a low voice, and then silently raised the house catalogue in his hand a few more points, blocking Karasuma Ying's view of her.

[Alas? Am I being hated? 】

Looking at this scene, Karasuma Ying could only continue to smile.

I don't know why, Gray Plains seems to be a little ...... Reject her?

"Mr. Maori? Good evening, you've been here......"

A familiar voice sounded, and at the front of the line, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi walked side by side towards the group.

The two of them seemed to have been checking on the guests at the gate before, and they had just been replaced by the other detectives to rest, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

By the way, the way they check their guests is very simple and crude, which is to pull their faces hard.

This method may seem clumsy, but it is an excellent way to restrain the Thief Kidd's Transfiguration.

Although Kidd the Strange Thief has never been exposed by this trick......

And the person who proposed this method is also the person in charge of the security of tonight's party, the "old opponent" of the thief Kidd, the indomitable middle-aged police officer - Nakamori Silver Third Police Department!

It should be pointed out that the Nakamori Police Department is subordinate to the Criminal Division 2 of the Investigation Division, while Officer Sato and Officer Takagi are subordinate to the Investigation Division 1.

The reason why the two of them appeared here tonight was because the Nakamori Police Department temporarily borrowed them from Officer Twilight on the grounds of lack of manpower.

"Then we'll go get some rest and see you later, Mr. Maori."

After greeting Kogoro Mori, Officer Sato and Officer Takagi, who were almost tired, supported each other and walked to the rest area on the side.

"The relationship between the two of them has changed for the better...... "Mao Lilan said with a smile as she looked at the two of them.

"Indeed." Conan nodded in response.

"If only Shinichi could come tonight......"

"Uh, that, Shinichi brother he ......"

"I guess I'm busy......" Maoliran sighed softly.

"Ahaha......" Conan smiled awkwardly, and Karasuma glanced at him without speaking.

The group chatted and lined up, and as the line slowly advanced, a person who surprised everyone suddenly appeared.

"Ah, Mr. Maori, long time no see."

A well-dressed young woman stepped out of the crowd and greeted Mori Kogoro familiarly.

Looking at this person, Conan and Karasuma's pupils suddenly contracted.

Chrissy Wynyard?!
