"Then, next, I will invite the host of this event, Xue Ding, to come on the stage to introduce our future activities to you in detail."

In the lobby of the State Guest House, as Kiyoko Igarashi's words fell, a young woman stepped out from behind the curtain.

The woman is wearing a kimono with small freckles on her face, a pair of red-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and two braids at the back of her head that hang down on her chest, which looks very cute.

"Hello everyone! I'm Snow Mustard! ”

Standing in the spotlight, Xue must have waved enthusiastically to everyone under the stage.

"It's a female college student who is currently studying, and her specialty is high math and complaining! Thank you for your kind attention! ”

After she finished speaking, there was silence in the guest house.

"Hey, it's weird, why don't you speak? The atmosphere in the building seems a little awkward......"

Not affected by the atmosphere in the museum, Xue Ding was about to complain about himself, and continued to say with a smile:

"You can't do this~ Our event is about to start, but we have to cheer up!

Let's all enjoy reasoning together...... Ah, no, you can't put on a troublesome face, after all, everyone here must be very good at reasoning, right?

Okay, okay, next, I have something to show everyone here first......"

As Xue Ding's words were finished, the originally closed curtain behind her was pulled away to the left and right, and a small glass display case appeared in front of everyone under the light of the spotlight on the stage.

Inside the display case, a belt encrusted with dazzling sapphires.

"What a beautiful sapphire!"

In the whispered exchange of everyone, Xue on the stage must continue to introduce to everyone.

"Here we are showing you the treasure that is called the Yoi Obi! Okay, everyone~ open your eyes and take a look! This is quite a valuable thing~

Not only that, but it also has a special legend in our Edo town......"

With his hands folded in front of his chest, Xue must close his eyes slightly, and said to everyone as if he was reminiscing:

"Legend has it that the Belt of the Night is actually the 'Twin Belt', and in addition to it, there is another 'Belt of Dawn' with the same name.

And between these two belts, there is a very sad story.

It was a long, long time ago, it is said that in the Edo period, there were such a pair of twins, the elder brother wore the Yono belt, and the younger sister wore the Akatsuki belt, and they had a very good relationship.

But suddenly one day, the belt of yotsu was lost, and the sister who was its owner also disappeared, and I don't know where it went, and soon after that, the brother who owned the belt of yoi also died, and just like that, these two belts seemed to be cursed......"

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, all the lights in the guest house went out at this moment, and the entire hall was instantly plunged into darkness.

"Ahh What's going on? What happened? ”

This sudden change frightened many people in the hall.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Xiaolan!"

"Daddy?"

"Don't walk around! Come to me! ”

Mori Kogoro went to find his daughter as soon as possible, and behind him, Gray Yuan Ai immediately grabbed the foot of the dining table next to him, and watched the darkness around him vigilantly.

[What's going on?] Could it be that those people are already planning to ......]

"Hahahaha!"

At that moment, a pompous laugh rang out in the darkness.

With the help of a loudspeaker, the sound was clearly heard in the ears of everyone in the hall.

"This kind of boring legend sounds really boring! Instead of worrying about this, let's take a look at the sapphire set in the belt, which is worth hundreds of millions of yen! That's what those of us should care about, right?! ”

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the lights in the hall came on again.

"Ahh

Suddenly, the snow on the stage was about to let out a scream, and she pointed to the empty display case in front of her, and shouted:

"Look, everyone! The belt of the night is gone! ”

"What?!"

In the slightly chaotic crowd, Maori Kogoro's eyes widened as he watched this scene.

"How could this happen?! The voice just now...... Could it be that Kidd did it?! ”

"Daddy! What do we do next? Maolilan was also nervous.

"Jingjun, do you want to call the police?" Ayako Suzuki looked at Shizu Shizun beside her and asked.

"It's okay, just keep watching." Qing Shui Jing shook her head, smiled calmly and said:

"The mystery show has begun."

"Huh?"

"Huh? Brother-in-law, was that the event they designed just now? ”

Hearing his words, Suzuki Sonoko looked surprised.

"But I ...... just now"

"Look."

Shimizu Shizune raised her hand and pointed down at Kiyoko Igarashi who was still smiling on the edge of the stage.

"If that belt had really been stolen, I don't think Ms. Igarashi would have been able to stand there so calmly now."

"Well, it seems to be ......."

"It's really just an event...... "Mao Lilan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

【Hoo ......】

Behind everyone, Gray Yuan Ai also let go of the table legs and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Really, what did the plot of the event do so realistically, it scared the individual to death......]

"Uh-huh!"

At this moment, on the big screen on the side of the hall, a male figure suddenly appeared.

The figure was wearing a shawl, a top hat, and a mask to hide his face.

"The belt of the night, I'll take it for safekeeping now!"

In the screen scene, the male figure raises his hand to press the brim of the top hat, his body is in an exaggerated posture, and the tone of his speech is also very exaggerated.

"Detectives here, will you be able to take it back from my hands again?"

"Damn the monster thief! You infiltrated the hall posing as a detective? Hurry up and get the belt back! ”

On stage, Xue must shout at the figure on the screen.

"Hahaha! Is there still a strange thief in this world who says he will pay it back? The figure laughed.

"What are you talking about?"

"Besides, if you return it like this, I'm afraid all the detectives here will be disappointed, right?

After all, the so-called detective, if you don't go after something, then there is no point in existing......

Well, while I don't think you'll succeed, let me give you a little hint as you try to get the belt back from me, right? ”

"Hmm! What a cunning monster thief......"

"Hey, I'm trying to add a touch of fun to this uninspired feast, do you seem to be happier?"

"Uh, that, this ......" Suddenly, Xue must have froze in place, looking nervous.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, the figure on the screen suddenly asked in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Why don't you speak?" Then it's your turn. ”

"Well, wait, wait, I seem to have forgotten the words......" Xue Ding said with a red face as she stuck out her tongue.

"Hahaha!"

Bursts of laughter broke out under the stage, and by this point, everyone in the hall had almost determined that the unexpected situation just now was actually a special reasoning activity designed for them by the organizers.

If nothing else, the next step is for them to find the belt.

"Ahh Come to think of it! Damn monster thief! Don't underestimate our strength! We're going to get you covered! You just wash your neck and wait! ”

As the snow was about to fall with this imposing shout, the picture on the screen also stopped.

She turned around, bowed to the audience, and smiled apologetically:

"It's really making everyone laugh, and then, we can only rely on everyone's strength to get the belt back."

[Is it about to start......]

In the crowd, Gray Yuan was looking around.

Amuro Toru, Mizuno Mercy, Shizu Jing, and Yoko Okino who is also a little suspicious......

His gaze swept over these people one by one, and after Gray Yuan hesitated, he still took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to a certain number on it.
