I'm in Mihua, and all the ladies like me.

"It's foundation."

Akai Marie is a mature adult woman after all, and she immediately smelled the clue.

"Although I don't know the specific brand, if I remember correctly, the main target group of this kind of foundation is girls of Zhenshun's age."

"Can you smell this?" Serabel was shocked.

"Well, because little girls always like to make themselves look good, but when they reach a certain age, they no longer pursue these things. If they still make themselves look good, colleagues will find it objectionable during company meetings. You choked your nose, and—"

As she spoke, Akai Mari turned on the faucet and rinsed her fingertips with tap water. The tiny bit of liquid foundation seemed to have taken root, clinging to her fingertips and staying still.

"See, it's waterproof. Generally speaking, only junior high school students can use it, because they often have to attend physical education classes, and it will be very troublesome if their makeup is smudged due to sweating."

"...Professional."

Serabel nodded blankly and reacted immediately.

"That's not right. It's not that Kaitou Kidd was active in France 20 years ago and disappeared eight years ago. If we infer based on the foundation he used, shouldn't Kaitou Kidd be a [-]-year-old A year-old female high school student?”

"That's not necessarily true. Ultimately, I'm just speculating based on the available evidence. Kaitou Kidd may be a [-] or [-]-year-old female high school student, or he may just be a disgusting and perverted middle-aged transvestite."

Akai Marie has always been so ruthless when speaking.

"No one knows why Kaitou Kidd suddenly disappeared eight years ago, and no one knows why Kaitou Kidd suddenly returned eight years later. No one can explain this kind of thing, except Himself."

As she spoke, the blonde girl raised her eyes and glanced at someone behind her.

"But since you and the Kaitou Kidd have already met and talked happily tonight, you must have made an appointment for the next meeting, right?"

"Ah."

Serabel nodded subtly.

"April [-], Yokohama Port, Sally Beth."

Akai Marie said oh.

"Are you from Miss Suzuki's family again?"

"……Correct."

"Ah."?

Chapter 56 Sera’s Big Cat~

Invitations for the Sallybeth's voyage were sent the third day after Kid's special April Fool's Day performance.

There is nothing special about the invitation from the outside. It is just a very delicately made letter. The seal of the outer envelope is stamped with the Suzuki Foundation's logo and slightly embellished with gold powder.

Inside is a piece of letter paper with good texture. There is not much content on the paper, which can even be said to be quite concise. It just writes down the invitees and the ship's departure time neatly in Japanese. At the end, Suzuki Shiro, Chairman of the Suzuki Foundation, is attached. 's autograph.

So the ordinary time passed by in a hurry, and half a month later came in the blink of an eye.

On April 04, it was 30:[-] in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun shone with a slight red glow on Tokyo.

In the suite of the Cupido Hotel, Serabel was changing into clothes for the dinner.

After all, this is an invitation-only dinner hosted by the Suzuki Consortium. In theory, those who receive invitations do not need to wear crisp suits to show their identity, but most of them are government officials, consortium executives, or celebrities. You have to pay attention to your image when you go out, so you have to wear a suit that looks good and elegant but is too tight and not comfortable enough.

But Serabel didn't want to stand out too much, so she also changed into a suit.

The most important thing is that he has a good figure, so he doesn't feel tight even if he wears a suit.

The only thing that gave him a headache was carrying weapons.

Needless to say, after Kidd issued such a notice on April Fool's Day, it is no surprise that the Yokohama port tonight will be full of security forces, and the ship may have to go through triple and five layers of security checks.

If I had gone there with razors inserted into my clothes as before, I was afraid that I would have been stopped by the police before I even stepped onto the boarding ladder. When I opened my clothes and saw the cold light flashing inside, I would probably have to wear a silver bracelet on the spot. , It’s useless no matter how familiar you are with the Memu Police Department.

After thinking for a moment, Serabel quickly walked to the bed, opened the bedside table and rummaged through the drawers.

At the same time, Masumi Sera, who lived in the opposite room with Mari Akai, walked in outside the room.

As the season gradually approaches summer and the temperature rises, she wears more and more cool clothes in the hotel suite. She only wears a sports vest and a pair of denim shorts, revealing her wheat-colored arms and tight lines due to years of exercise. Long legs.

Seeing Serabel looking for something beside the bedside table, the tiger-toothed girl tilted her head curiously.

"What are you looking for, Berni-chan?"

"Mmm, it's nothing..."

Hearing the noise coming from behind, Serabel immediately quickly stuffed the small umbrella used by Akai Mari in the drawer to the bottom to avoid being seen, and at the same time accurately took what she was looking for.

"found it."

"What is this...pencil?"

"Well, it is probably difficult to bring metal products on board. In comparison, pencils are more convenient, and they can be dealt with even if there is an emergency."

"Which way or more."

Sera Masumi drawled her voice and nodded to show that she understood.

Then when she saw Serabel turning around in a crisp suit, her eyes lit up.

"Wow~ Berni-chan looks so handsome in this outfit! Come and give me a hug, Wuhu——!"

Without giving the latter any time to agree or refuse, the tiger-toothed girl took a quick two-step jump, spread her arms and legs like an octopus, and picked her up like an octopus. She also brought her head up and rubbed her face against hers. Ah rub.

Serabel's two legs and one arm were tightly bound by her. She had no choice but to use her only free hand to drop the pencil in her hand. The tip of the pen was held in her hand and the buttocks of the pen were facing forward towards the tiger-toothed girl's head. Knock twice like a wooden fish.

"That's it. Come down quickly, your clothes will be wrinkled."

"Hey hey..."

While giggling, Sera Masumi not only did not let go, but even hugged him tighter.

Rub rub, stick stick~

At this moment, someone coughed lightly at the door of the room.

The blond British girl walked in and frowned slightly when she saw the two hugging each other on the bed.

"Zhenchun, what are you doing? Besides, aren't you going to the port at 05:30? It's almost [-]:[-], why don't you come over and change clothes quickly?"

"Immediately~"

After being scolded by his mother, the big cat Shiliang who had been trying to play tricks a second ago immediately let go of his hands and feet and walked dejectedly back to the room to change clothes.

……

At [-]:[-] in the evening, at a port located on the coast of Yokohama, a super luxury cruise ship docked quietly on the shore under the fiery red sunset.

There seemed to be some kind of high-end car club being held in the parking lot not far away, with all kinds of sports cars and luxury cars gathered together.

Surrounding them are more police cars, all with the words "Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department" printed on them.

In order to arrest Kidd tonight, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has sent almost half of its police force. Uniformed police officers are spread throughout the port, with sentries every ten meters, highlighting a complete martial law.

Next to the cruise ship, dignitaries and celebrities from various top organizations in Japanese society were queuing up along the boarding gate to undergo a triple security check of metal detectors, bag searches, and body searches before they could board the ship.

At the same time, there were faint sounds of quarrels in the distance mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

"Abort! This party must be aborted!"

The speaker was the Nakamori Police Department who once led people to surround Kaitou Kidd on the rooftop of the Aipido Hotel. He pointed in the direction of the cruise ship where people were boarding the boarding gate and argued loudly. His face was red and his neck was thick, which made people feel that he was Blood pressure may exceed [-] mmHg at any time.

"Vigilance, the other party is that Kaitou Kidd! If he wants to, it would be extremely easy to pass that level of security check and board the ship!"

"alright……"

The person responsible for comforting him was Police Chagi who had organized a manned defense at the Rice Flower Museum at the beginning of the month. In terms of police rank, one was only a police officer and the other was already a police officer, so in theory, Jintaro Chagi could actually be regarded as Nakamori Ginzo's superior.

But now, compared to his subordinates who had anxious expressions on their faces, Ochagi Jintaro, the superior, seemed particularly salty and even had the mood to smile and appease his subordinates.

"Don't say that, Nakamori Police Department. The people attending the dinner tonight are all celebrities from all walks of life. We should not act rashly. Besides, if we force the banquet to be suspended because we are afraid that Kaitou Kidd will succeed, it will be very harmful to our police. Face also has a big impact.”

"Tsk..."

Although Zhongsen was unwilling to do so, it was still an order from his superiors, and what he said was reasonable. In the end, it could only be turned into a deep sigh. ?

Chapter 57 Mrs. Suzuki’s invitation

Since they were not very familiar with the architectural distribution style in Japan, it was already relatively late when Serabel and Masumi Sera arrived at the port. By then, the queue to board the ship had already reached more than half, and they were almost in the back half of the queue. The segment is on a cruise ship near the end.

Logically speaking, a dinner party of this size would invite celebrities from all walks of life. Even with the status of the Suzuki family in Japan, it is impossible for the Suzuki family to completely indulge themselves. They would have to go around with a glass of wine to toast, say hello, and so on. .

This is what Serabel originally thought.

But the moment he boarded the ship, he understood that he was most likely wrong.

Because an impatient, slender hand squeezed through the crowd and stretched out, grabbing his elbow, followed by the sound of a girl with a headband jumping for joy.

"It's so slow, Sera-kun, it's finally here, come here, come here~"

In fact, even if you don't listen to the sound, you know that there is only one person who can be so free and informal on this ship.

The dignified second lady of the Suzuki Zaibatsu - Suzuki Sonoko.

However, it is completely different from the image of a fluttering dress that Serabel expected. Miss Yuanzi today is unexpectedly dressed very casually. She just wears a sleeveless vest with a collar and jeans. I don’t know. Is it intentional or unintentional to dress like this?

If it was intentional, maybe he just used this as an excuse to say that the clothes were not suitable and pushed the job of receiving guests to his parents, Suzuki and his wife?

Just when Serabel was filled with heartbreak, Sonoko was actually looking at him, and her reaction was unexpectedly the same as when Sera Masumi was in the room at that time. Her eyes lit up and she blurted out "How handsome".

But at this moment, accompanied by the hearty greeting of the tiger-toothed girl, a wheat-skinned arm crossed right between the two of them.

"Hey, good evening, Sonoko-san."

"Uh... good evening, Sera-san."

Sera Mazen didn't have any ill intentions. She really just came to say hello, but Sonoko was really choked by her, and the two words that were originally in her throat were choked in her throat.

"Hey, by the way, Sonoko-san, have you been waiting here all this time?" Sera asked out of curiosity.

"more or less……"

Yuanzi was originally choked back because of what she wanted to say and didn't know how to continue. However, after being asked this question, her thoughts suddenly became smoother. She patted her head and remembered that she still had important things to do.

"Ah, I almost forgot. I have something for you before entering the venue."

"what?"

"That's it~"

As he spoke, Sonoko took out two exquisite-looking gift boxes from behind. They were small and only about the size of a palm. They seemed to be used to hold rings. One for each of Serabel and Masumi Sera. .

"What's in this?"

Masumi Sera held the small box and turned it over and over with curiosity, just like a cat who got a new toy and wanted to try it but was afraid of an accident, so he was careful to test it out.

"It doesn't matter even if you open it~" Sonoko smiled generously.

"Then let me take a look..."

"Bet fifty cents, I guess it contains the Dark Star."

Serabel's words briefly attracted the attention of the two girls. He paused and uttered the last four words.

"An imitation of..."

"Eh? How did you know?"

Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled and a little surprised.

"You're already wearing it, aren't you?"

Serabel pointed to her chest.

It was a flower-shaped brooch, set off with light golden fabric. The petals were made of fabric, and the stamen part was a dark round bead, reflecting a round luster under the light.

At first glance, it seems to be a pretty good-looking decoration, and one would hardly associate it with the so-called "dark star imitation".

Serabel continued to turn to the other side of the ordinary guest channel: "Well, the main reason is because I saw that other guests seemed to have received this kind of box, and some people put it on immediately after receiving it."

It's an open book exam.

Sera Zhenzhen hesitated: "But I'm more curious as to why Berni-chan and I were sent here specially by Sonoko-san. Could it be..."
