Sanada: But�When and how did he do that?� Hatamoto: Kid is the master of appearance and disappearance. All is mystery� Mifune: Yes, all we know is that�he is already among us!! Chiyaki: Calm down everybody, calm down!! Kogoro: So it would be�He would know where the real pearl� Tomoko: Pffff�Even if he knows; we�re on a boat, impossible to escape� Tomoko: In this ship full of policemen�Will he achieve to steal �the black pearl� and escape? Policeman: Inspector!! The ship will enter the harbor in less than 10 mn!! Nakamori: OK!!! Close all doors of this room!! Don�t let anybody go out, understood? Conan: Come on�Show up, Kid�If you want to do your show, now that the guests are worried, it is the right time� Sonoko: Ran, where is the pearl you wore? Ran: Huh? No�Ah�Please!!! Can someone pick my pearl up? PSSHHHHH�� Guests: Huh? What? What is that noise? The pearl�The pearl has exploded!!! Huh? Hatamoto: No�The Kid wouldn�t have touched the pearls� Guest: Huh? FSSSSSSSSHT� BAM Guests: Enough!! We can�t wear those pearls any longer!!! Agh� Hey! Don�t push!! They are bombs!! They are bombs!! Save yourself!! Chiyaki: Please! Calm down!! CALM DOWN!!! Tomoko: AH� Sonoko: Mom!!! Ran: Are you all right? Tomoko: Ah, Ran, yes, thank you� Sonoko: Oh� Guest: Open that door right now!! Policeman: I can�t� Guests: AAAAHHHH�. Sonoko: Your black pearl has disappeared too, Mom� Tomoko: Huh? AAH�AAAAAAAAA!!! Tomoko: It�s the Kid!! The Kid has stolen �the black pearl�!!! Nakamori: What? So it was you, Madam, who were wearing the real pearl� Policeman: Inspector, help me� Nakamori: Don�t let him leave! The one who just left is the Kid!! Policeman: YES!! Conan: Ran, we�re gonna catch him too!! Ran: What?! Nakamori: What? He wasn�t there?! Policemen: No. We have inspected every guest who left� Nakamori: In this case, go look for him!! He�s still aboard!! Ran: Conan? We�re in the mechanic room! Do you really think that the Kid is here? Conan: Er�Ran�Do you know the symbol of precious gems? Ran: The symbol of precious gems? Conan: It�s Sonoko�s mom who help me figure it out�by saying that the black pearl was worn by the person who fits it best�The symbols of the pearl are �moon� and �woman��Among the female guests tonight, there�s only Mrs. Suzuki whose name is written with the character �moon� in Japanese�Therefore, it could only be her who wore the real pearl! Ran: Oh yeah�And how would you know who is the Kid? Conan: It�s the card� Conan: Yes�on the card that you drew, there was a message from the Kid, right? Ran: Yes� Conan: it�s a rudimentary trick that consists to change all the cards of the left hand with the one that interests us, while the right hand makes a pigeon appear for attracting the attention of the spectators�So, even before handing the chosen card, he knows which card it is, even if someone shuffles the cards� Ran: So if the message was stuck on the card�that means that the magician is the Kid? Conan: No, it�s not that�No, I kept an eye on him, and he didn�t go near Mrs. Suzuki� Ran: So who is it? Conan: There�s another person�who could change the card�yes, by pretending to pick the cards when they fell down, the person took a card and stuck a message on it�and he/she hid it in the palm of the hand and made everybody believe that she took it from the magician�Huh? Ran�Or should I say� Conan: Kid the Elusive!! Police: To #3! Nobody suspect has gone out!! Chiyaki: OK! Keep the good work, the surveillance! Nakamori: To all the policemen!! Go everywhere and join forces to capture the Kid!! Pay attention, even to who you know!! He could be anyone!! Conan: Yes�You took Ran�s appearance when she went out of the room, when she was looking for me�How masterful!! I didn�t even see it�You took Ran�s identity, and you put everyone in panic, you put explosive pearls�Then, taking profit of the disorder, you stole the real black pearl�by pretending to help Mrs. Suzuki�You knew they had planned fireworks, didn�t you? You also knew that Mrs. Suzuki had ordered loads of copies, right? Ran: Are you kidding, Conan? I didn�t even know where was the real pearl, and I don�t know what clue you are talking about� Conan: Pfffff�Even without the clues given by Mrs. Suzuki, you knew where the real pearl was�Exactly when she used her gloves to put her pearl on� Ran: Huh? Conan: The principal composite of the pearl is the carbonate of calcium, and it is easily wrecked by acidity in the contact of finger grease, and the pearl can lose its glow�I think, among the guests, some knew that, but it�s obvious that you don�t give the pearl to an ignorant person� Ran: But it�s not enough to� Conan: No, it�s not enough� Conan: But, adding to the somewhat ugly pearl that Mrs. Suzuki wore, it became evidence!! Yes, even all the pearls the museum has are without brilliant color� The initial color only lasts for some decades�This �black star� bought 60 years ago couldn�t last forever�It�s easy to guess when we see Mrs. Suzuki took this colorless pearl with gloves�Pfffff�It�s stupid, disturbed by your presence, I completely forgot� Ran: But, it seemed to me that the black star of the museum was brilliant� Conan: That�s why you didn�t steal it, right? Because you knew it was fake�And in the second message, you provoked Mrs. Suzuki in order that, this time, she brings the real one�by mentioning the �real�� Ran: If you�re so sure�call the police, and� BOM! Conan: Pfffff�I wouldn�t be caught in the same trap twice�If you called the police the last time, it wasn�t to provoke me�in this explosion, you disguised yourself in a policeman, and went away�after your make-believe escape in deltaplane!! Furthermore, you won�t make people come in here. Although I came alone even if this ship is full of policemen. I came in respect for you, I wanted a duel� Ran: � Conan: Yes, most of artist became famous after their death�Kid, I�m gonna make you enter the legend�by imprisoning in a tomb called �prison�� Ran: Pfff�I surrender�You won�I give you the pearl�You will tell Mrs. Suzuki I�m sorry for spoiling her party� Conan: What are you talking about� Ran: Oh, you know the young girl from whom I borrowed these clothes and is sleeping in the little boat�if you don�t go fast, she will catch a cold, won�t she? I am really perfectionist. Conan: Huh? A lighted bomb?! Shoot!!! I won�t let you leave!!! � NO!!! I will remember this!!! Guest: Hey! There�s a young girl in this boat!! Bring her to the bridge� Conan: AAHHHH!! WAIT!!!!! Conan: Huh? What? Hm? Message: This red dress that you gave us some days ago fits you perfectly. The Elusive Kid, Cleaner when he wants. Conan: Smarty pants� Narrator: Later, a deltaplane was found�But he, himself had completely disappeared� Sonoko: WAOUH!!! You�re in it! You�re in it!! You�re a hero, Conan! Conan: It�s luck, only luck! Sonoko: But you were both really lucky to have met the Kid� Conan: I don�t call that luck� Sonoko: what did he look like? Ran: � Sonoko: Ran? Ran: Huh, what? Sonoko: Kid�s face! Ran: Sorry, I was sleeping so� Conan: I saw him! Sonoko: Really? How was he? Conan: He was really young�maybe 20ish� SNEEZE Young girl: Pff�Really! To go visit the Queen Elisabeth ship and fall into the sea, you really have to be stupid! Young man (Kid): Shut up�I didn�t have any choice, I had to swim� Sonoko: Hey, this student� He looks like Shinichi a lot! Conan: Really? Sonoko: The guy you saw at Shibuya, that should have been him� Ran: �That�s good! Conan: Huh? Ran: Really! Conan: ? |
