The exhibition hall of the Beika Museum.

"Ever since my grandfather collected this Black Star, our Suzuki family has been on a meteoric rise."

Suzuki Jirokichi introduced the Black Star in the display case to everyone, and finally remarked, "The Black Star is like a guardian angel, and it has extraordinary significance for our Suzuki family."

Fujino rubbed his chin as he looked at the Black Star in the display case.

He definitely wouldn't have believed in things like changing the family's fortune in his previous life.

However, since this is the Conan World...

Could this black pearl truly possess some kind of magic?

But then Fujino shook his head.

The Suzuki family was already wealthy enough to buy such a large black pearl decades ago.

It is evident that the Suzuki family's power was already extraordinary decades ago.

The so-called meteoric rise most likely means transforming from a large family into Japan's largest conglomerate.

As for starting with a bowl and creating the Japan... do you really think everyone is like the Ming Taizu?

"But then again, today is only the day before the announcement, why is the security so tight?"

At that moment, Mori Kogoro glanced at the police team hurrying by and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"Although the notice did indeed say tomorrow."

After a pause, Suzuki Jirokichi continued, "But no one knows when or where Kaito Kid will suddenly appear, which is why the police have implemented such tight security..."

"Didn't I just say it? The riverbank! We must deploy most of the police force to the riverbank! Kaito Kid is definitely planning to invade the Museum from the Tinus River!"

Before Suzuki Jirokichi could finish speaking, a man's voice interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Jirokichi walked over and asked the man with a puzzled look, "Manager Chaki, have you deciphered the code?!"

"That's right!"

The manager named Chaki nodded. "The Kaito Kid's 'invited to the waves' message must mean he wants to invade the Museum from the direction of the Tinus River. There's nowhere with waves around here except for the Tinus River!"

"Officer, you're being incredibly naive!"

At that moment, Mori Kogoro suddenly burst into laughter.

He then began to share his insightful opinions.

He believes that the star in the trailer for Kaito Kid is a celebrity, and being invited to the waves is the ocean, which means to rush. And thinking of the ocean makes one think of the wilderness, so it means wilderness, which means rushing into the wilderness!

Coincidentally, his beloved idol, actress Yoko Okino, is holding a concert nearby tomorrow, and the title of her last song is "Moon Girl".

Therefore, he believes that Kaito Kid will definitely break into the Beika Museum from near the Beika Activity Center at 9 pm tomorrow, after Yoko Okino finishes singing her last song.

"..."

This absurd move left Fujino completely stunned.

Goodness, how come Uncle Mori always thinks of Yoko Okino in everything?

This kind of nonsense, which has no basis whatsoever and is just utter rubbish, probably no one would believe it, right?

"That makes a lot of sense!"

There are actually people who believe that!

Fujino turned his head and saw Chaki Shintaro with his chin resting on his hand, looking thoughtful.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Jirokichi remarked, "As expected of the Great Detective Mori Kogoro!"

Despite the absurdity of the reasoning, Suzuki Jirokichi believed it, as did Chaki Shintaro, the superintendent of the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division.

At the same time, Chaki Shintaro also dispatched two police teams to the Beika Activity Center to defend against Kaito Kid.

Looking at the outrageous scene before him, Fujino suddenly recalled a sentence that Juzo Megure had once said:

"Thanks to Mori Kogoro's famous deductions, every time we solve a case with his guidance, it feels like we're entering a maze, getting further and further away from the truth."

Suzuki Jirokichi is one thing, but how could Chaki Shintaro believe it?

This guy is, after all, an officer in the Second Investigation Division.

Although it's wrong, it's obviously more reasonable to say that the invasion started from the Tinus River, right?

This guy probably bought his management position.

As for Uncle Mori, Fujino could only comment: I say, the commander-in-chief is right!

"Ring ring!"

Just as Fujino was silently complaining to himself, a phone rang suddenly.

He took out his phone and stared blankly at the notes on the screen.

It's Yoko Okino.

"Another job?"

Fujino stared at his phone screen for a moment, then answered the call.

"Detective Fujino, do you have time tomorrow?"

Yoko Okino's voice came from the other end of the phone.

In the background, there seemed to be some noise.

"Miss Yoko, is there something you need from me?"

Fujino asked with a hint of doubt, "I remember you were going to have a concert at the Beika Activity Center tomorrow."

Yoko Okino was stunned by what she heard.

How did Fujino know about her concert?

Although her concert was indeed a large-scale event, the organizers even rented the Beika Activity Center as a stage.

But those who aren't her fans probably wouldn't know about this.

Could it be that Fujino is actually a secret fan of hers?

She had initially thought that Fujino wouldn't be interested in a popular idol like her.

It seems she was overthinking it.

Damn it, I'm actually a little happy to find out that the idol detective of the popular idol is actually my fan, what should I do?

"That's right, I do have a concert at the Beika Activity Center tomorrow, and I have a few VIP tickets on hand. To be honest, I can't think of anyone to give them to."

After imagining it, Yoko Okino chuckled and invited, "If you have time, Detective Fujino, could you bring a friend along?"

"I do have time tomorrow, so going to show my support shouldn't be a problem."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Yoko Okino nodded. "As for the tickets, my manager and I are at the Beika Activity Center right now and don't have time. Could you please come and pick them up?"

"Can."

After hanging up Yoko Okino's call, Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

He initially thought that Yoko Okino was going to introduce him to some client again.

Didn't expect it to be just a ticket?

After getting a ticket from Yoko Okino for the rehearsal stage at the Beika Activity Center, Fujino left the Beika Activity Center.

On his way home, Fujino stared at the VIP ticket clutched in his hand, completely baffled.

Logically speaking, these premium seats should be in high demand and short supply, and even if they were given out, the organizers probably wouldn't give her many.

With her current fame, she could easily make a fortune selling herself...

Who knows?

Anyone who doesn't want something for free is a fool.

"Frozen Fish! Frozen Fish for sale! Freshly frozen Frozen Fish!"

A vendor's cry suddenly came from beside my ear.

Fujino turned his head at the sound and saw a frozen seafood stall in a seafood market.

The owner, wearing a blue apron, was hawking his wares. On his stall, there were also many Frozen Fish in styrofoam boxes.

"Speaking of Kaito Kurokawa Kuroko seems to be afraid of fish..."

Looking at the seafood stalls not far away, Fujino's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He then walked up to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, do you have any Frozen Fish that are a meter long and very hard?"
