Chapter 866 Crying(2/2)
Qin Zhibo felt a little helpless and became more determined not to arrest Brother Big Cannon.
After all, the Beast Brotherhood has been sending players of this paper-level level to capture gems, so every gem will definitely fall into Kidd's hands.
Although Cannon can obtain the information that the gem is not Pandora's Stone every time, it seems that he has not lost, but as long as he loses completely, it is equivalent to giving up Pandora's Stone to Kidd.
However, the boss behind the Beast Brotherhood didn't seem to notice this...
Just when Qin Zhibo was secretly observing Zhang Dapao while drinking a drink, Aso Michiru on the side suddenly said.
"Mr. Qin, are you looking for Kaitou Kidd?"
"Huh?" Qin Zhibo put down his wine glass, "Well, that's right..."
Cheng Shi glanced at the surrounding guests, "Although I don't know how to reason, I feel that Kidd will not appear among the guests this time."
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised, "How do you say this?"
Cheng Shi looked at the magic performance stage in front of him and explained: "Because Kaito Kidd is a thief who is famous for his magic and has a high obsession with magic performances."
"If it were him, he would probably choose a stage that is more suitable for his status as a magician, right?"
After Cheng Shi's analysis, Qin Zhibo felt that it did make sense.
I imagined that Kidd's theft plan this time was to pretend to be a guest and steal the gems while Judy Hooper came off the stage to interact with the audience.
Because according to the promotional photos of The Magic Troupe, Judy Hooper usually wears "Crimson Tears" on her chest openly. With Kidd's skills, it is not difficult to steal it.
But with Kuroba Kaito's little brat's personality and his strong desire for expression, he shouldn't miss this stage specially built for magicians.
Stealing gems from a crowd and then leaving in disgrace is indeed not a first-rate shock effect.
"What you said does make sense and is worth reference."
After receiving Qin Zhibo's approval, a blush appeared on Cheng Shi's face, and several fingers nervously hooked together.
...
After a while, the seats were full and the performance officially began.
As the rumors said, the host announcing the show was Judy Hooper herself. She was dressed in black business attire, with the huge gem "Crimson Tears" inlaid on the brooch on her chest.
Although it is said to be the largest ruby in the world, this gem is actually blue.
As for the content of the magic show, it is also lackluster, that is, playing cards, old routines such as body separation, and no unique magic.
The first half of the performance passed quickly, and Judy Hooper came off the stage to greet guests at several tables near the stage. This should be an exclusive benefit for front-show tickets.
If Kidd wanted to steal the gem, this would be a good time.
But as Cheng Shi said, this doesn't quite fit in with Kidd's desire to perform.
At this moment, Cheng Shi, who was next to him, stretched out his hand to stop an old man passing by and asked: "Old sir, are you from the Thaumatology Troupe?"
"Yes." The old man's beard was very long, his mouth was completely covered, and his voice was muffled.
"Miss Judy's name does not appear in the performance, why is that?"
The old man looked at Judy Hooper in front of him and sighed: "The eldest lady has stopped performing since her parents died in an accident ten years ago."
"Accident? What kind of accident was it?" Hearing this familiar keyword, Qin Zhibo couldn't help but want to ask carefully.
The old man hesitated for a few seconds before finally speaking.
"Her parents had an accident during a certain performance and were burned alive. That day happened to be the important day when her parents inherited the gem as the new group leader."
"Since that day, the eldest lady has never performed magic shows again. I guess she hates the magic that easily took away her parents' lives from the bottom of her heart..."
After saying that, the old man quietly walked away with his hands behind his back.
Listening to this familiar story, Qin Zhibo's face moved slightly, and he had some guesses in his heart.
The murder of the magician, and the fact that it was related to gems, could it be related to the Beast Brothers?
But if it was the Beast Brotherhood that carried out the attack at that time, is it still necessary to send Zhang DaPao to snatch the gems now?
Just as Qin Zhibo was thinking, he vaguely heard the sound of sobbing next to him.
Turning his eyes to the side, he saw hot and wet tears reflecting the bright lights of the stage, swirling in Cheng Shi's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Qin Zhibo was stunned.
