Chapter 488 Tarot Divination

In a dark room decorated like a European castle but with no windows, modern electric lamps were not used as a means of lighting. Instead, candlesticks were placed on the long table in the center of the room, which was illuminated by weak candlelight. A little light was brought into this dark room.

In the center seat on one side of the long table, a figure wearing a black cloak whose appearance could not be seen clearly was sitting at the table, playing with a pile of cards stacked in front of him - —

Judging from the card format, it should be Tarot cards.

Under the black cloak, the figure was very serious, sorting out the pile of tarot cards in front of him according to the inherent ritual process. He completely sorted out all the cards and arranged them into a pile, with all the cards facing down. Place it horizontally in front of yourself.

Then, the figure under the cloak paused for a moment, then rotated the pile of cards in front of him ninety degrees counterclockwise so that it faced him vertically.

After completing this step, the figure under the cloak was very pious and made a praying posture. Finally, he stretched out his right hand, pressed it on the top of the deck, and spread the entire deck with a gentle promise. It became a fan shape.

Looking at the pile of cards spread out in front of him, the figure seemed to close his eyes and mutter something silently. Then he opened his eyes and based on his intuition, he took out a card from the spread out cards, held it in front of him, and promised If the card is turned upside down, turn the card facing away from you to the front——

I saw that the card I drew had a reversed "Tower" on it.

In response, the figure under the black cloak seemed to be a little shaken after seeing this card. He stood up from the chair in surprise. At the same time, the figure also lifted the cloak on his head behind his back, revealing his hair. Long crimson hair and beautiful face——

It's Anko Koizumi.

"It turns out to be a 'tower'..."

Looking at the cards she drew, Koizumi Anko murmured to herself:

"That means something bad will happen to Mr. Kuroyu today..."

Thinking about it, Koizumi Hongzi frowned slightly, then sighed helplessly, and collected the other Tarot cards on the table in front of her, as well as the "Tower" card in her hand, and collected the entire deck of cards. Get up and put it back into the bag where the tarot cards were stored.

After doing all this, Koizumi Anko reached out and turned on the light switch behind her. The dim room, which was originally only illuminated by weak candlelight, suddenly lit up with the light of incandescent lamps.

After blowing out the candles on the candlestick, Koizumi Anko turned around and was about to leave the room.

But at this moment, her keen intuition made her realize that there was a tarot card left on the table.

In this regard, Koizumi Hongzi didn't have much expression. As if nothing had happened, she reached out and picked up the missing tarot card, preparing to put it back into the storage bag.

However, when Koizumi Hongzi turned over the tarot card and saw the front of the card, in an instant, a fierce intuition seemed to bloom in her mind, making her freeze on the spot for a moment. Second.

Later, when Koizumi Hongzi came back to her senses, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of her mouth——

"The contract has been made, it's time to collect the reward!"

…

"Kaitou Kid, who is not afraid of gods or Buddhas, is facing the Toto Buddha Statue Exhibition. The target is the yellow diamond 'Halo of the Sun' embedded in the Guanyin statue that symbolizes the eye of the exhibition!"

On the way to school, holding her cell phone and looking at the latest news, Aoko Nakamori, a student at Ekoda High School, unhappily recounted the content of the news:

"Police Nakamori Ginsan of the Metropolitan Police Investigation Section 2, who is responsible for security work, said boldly, 'The air defense is fully prepared. Let everyone see Kidd's embarrassed appearance tonight!'"

——"Come on, Dad!"

After reading the entire news, as the daughter of Nakamori Ginsan Police Department, Nakamori Aoko thought silently in her heart to support her father, who is a policeman.

"ah--"

At this time, a girl with brown hair tied in twin ponytails, wearing a pair of glasses, and wearing the same Ekoda High School uniform as Nakamori Aoko, poked her head out from behind Nakamori Aoko, saw the news on Aoko's phone, and couldn't help but say:

"That news was also broadcast on TV last night!"

"Keiko..."

To this, Aoko couldn't help but respond, and this girl was none other than Momoi Keiko, Aoko's classmate and friend.

"It seems to be the world's highest-grade gemstone. It will sparkle as soon as you put it on, making it look very sacred!"

When Momoi Keiko mentioned the gem mentioned in the news, her face showed the kind of expression that is unique to girls, looking forward to gems, but then she joked with a smile:

"However, Kidd and the Buddha statue are completely incompatible, which is quite interesting!"

"Really, I'm supporting that nasty thief again..."

Hearing what Keiko, a good friend, said, Aoko said angrily:

"Do you want to see me with a straight face all the time?"

In response, Keiko covered her mouth helplessly and smiled, then changed the topic and said:

"By the way, where is Kuroba-san? You guys have been going to school together, right?"

"I went to his house and called him."

Qingzi couldn't help but responded:

"But he said he would scare me and asked me to leave first..."

Before he finished speaking, a black motorcycle sped past on the road outside the sidewalk. The hem of Aoko's uniform, which was standing on the side of the road, could not help but be blown slightly by the gust of wind caused by the passing motorcycle. ——

"ah--"

In response, Qingzi quickly reached out to cover the hem of her skirt. Just as she was about to shout something to the speeding motorcycle, she heard the man on the bike read out:

"White……"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qingzi's face suddenly turned red.

"It is indeed white..."

The cyclist parked his motorcycle not far from Qingzi, took off his helmet, and with a slightly uninhibited smile, turned to look at Qingzi and said:

"Obviously your name is Qingzi, right?"

"Quick, quick fight!"

Seeing this man riding a motorcycle and wearing the uniform of Ekoda High School, Aoko couldn't help but call out his name.

And he is Kuroba Kaito.

"By the way, Kuroba-san, why are you riding a motorcycle?"

Keiko looked at Kaito on the motorcycle and asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, you broke your motorcycle just after you got your driver's license!"

Aoko, on the other hand, said angrily and sarcastically to Kaito.

"I did that to avoid the kitten!"

Kaito said indifferently:

"But now, I asked one of Grandpa Terai's PhD friends to help repair it, and now it's like a new car!"

Saying this, Kaito had some concerns in his heart——

Just in time, it would also surprise the police who were convinced that Kaito Kidd would escape from the air...

"So, Qingzi, how about you buy one too?"

Kaidu said, and continued to talk to Qingzi.

"Huh? Why? I'm not interested in motorcycles! And it seems very difficult to get a driver's license."

In this regard, Kaito couldn't help but said:

"I'm talking about helmets. Don't you know? One year after you get your driver's license, you can ride with two people!"

Said, Kaito's face turned slightly red.

"Why?"

Qingzi was a little puzzled by this.

"So, what I, Kaito-sama, mean is that I can take you to the amusement park, zoo, aquarium, wherever you have always wanted to go for free!"

"Kaito..."

Hearing this, Qingzi couldn't help but be moved and speechless for a moment.

"But if you say you don't want to ride on the motorcycle of a guy who had an accident, then forget it..."

Kaito pretended not to care as he spoke, but suddenly he subconsciously reached out and caught a card flying from not far away——

"Tarot cards?"

Surprised, Kaito couldn't help but say.

"That's the 'Tower' card."

At this time, an elegant and cold voice came from the side——

At this moment, Koizumi Anko came to everyone's side with a calm expression...
