Chapter 646: Events at the Netizen Club

March 13th, Saturday, after snowfall, in the afternoon, Okutama Town, Mt. Six Stones, Magic Lovers Union Gathering Villa, Sonoko’s three-person room.

After returning from the living room and solving some personal problems, Sonoko and Lan sat on the same bed and chatted, while Conan lay down directly on his own bed.

Sonoko smiled and said, "It's a pity just now, the magic performed by Mr. Hamano was only a little bit short of success."

Lan said: "But he guessed two correctly, which is already very good."

"I don't know what good program he will come up with," Yuanzi said.

"I don't want to, but I've already prepared it." Conan, who was lying on the bed, said in a weak voice.

"What?" Lan didn't understand.

"What are you talking about, kid." Yuanzi said a little angrily, "It's obviously because the 'escape king' didn't come, that's why this happened."

Lan said, "Yeah, it's a complete accident that Escape King' didn't come."

"It's an accident that no one came, but this magic has been arranged long ago." Conan said weakly.

"How is this arranged?" Lan asked.

"That's right, how could this be arranged?" Yuanzi shouted angrily, "It's obviously my choice, so it can't be that I colluded with them, right?"

"This magic trick is actually a collusion between Mr. Hamano and Ms. Tanaka," Conan said weakly, "Mr. Hamano was able to guess it all because of Ms. Tanaka, and Ms. Tanaka told him the answer."

"How is this possible? Even if Ms. Tanaka memorized the order of the papers when she gave them to me, but I messed up the order and drew with my eyes closed, how could she know?" Sonoko asked in disbelief.

"It's very simple. Ms. Tanaka tore the paper, and the name on the paper was also written by Ms. Tanaka. She only needs to make the incisions on each piece of paper a little different when she tears the paper, and she can write the name when she writes the name. Remember the characteristics of the incisions on each piece of paper," Conan said weakly, "and no matter how you change the order of the pieces of paper, Ms. Tanaka can know whose name is on that piece of paper at a glance."

"No, won't it?" Sonoko was taken aback.

"Next, Ms. Tanaka just needs to use the secret code agreed with Mr. Hamano in advance, and let Mr. Hamano know whose name is on the piece of paper." Conan said weakly, "The secret code should be the eyes, there is no one in total. A few people, no need to make complicated codes."

"That's amazing, Conan." Lan asked with a smile, "How do you know this?"

"Huh?" Conan was taken aback, "That, I saw it on TV."

"Then how did Mr. Hamano guess wrong in the end?" Sonoko asked.

"It was intentional, because, uh, I don't know why." Conan realized that he couldn't say any more, and at the same time thought to himself, damn it, I'm so dizzy, people have become dull. Then I thought, this should be for comparison with the next magic trick, to set off the next magic trick.

"I think it must be for you to smile." Lan laughed.

"No way, it's impossible." Yuanzi felt embarrassed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lan smiled and said, "He's here to look for you."

"Go and open the door." Yuanzi gave Lan a hug with a pillow.

the door was opened,

But it was not Toshiya Hamano who came in, but Takuki Doi, "I'm sorry, I just saw that this kid is not well, so I came to deliver some cold medicine." .”

"No, no... please come in." Lan said, and then touched Conan's forehead, "It seems to have a fever, no wonder I'm not energetic." Then he said, "Speaking of which, I felt something wrong just now, but I didn't Care, this is my negligence." Then go to pour water.

"I'm fine." Conan said weakly.

"It's enough for a child to eat one piece." Doi Takeshu warned, and then said, "Take another one at night, and it may be all right tomorrow."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Doi Tower." Lan said gratefully, then fed Conan medicine and covered him with a quilt.

"You're welcome." Doi Takshu said, "Then I'll go back first." Then he walked out with the door.

Lan smiled and said, "Yuanzi, it seems that Mr. Dojingta is also very good."

"Go, you don't need to remind me." Yuanzi threw the pillow at Lan.

Lan caught the pillow and watched Conan close his eyes, "Sonoko, stop making trouble, let Conan take a good rest."

Sonoko said, "Then let's watch TV and turn down the volume a bit."...

When he woke up, Conan found that Lan and Yuanzi were still sitting together watching TV, and the sky had already darkened. He looked at the time, and it was less than five o'clock. It turned out that it had been more than an hour. So sat up.

"Are you awake, Conan?" Lan went to pour a glass of water, "Would you like some water?"

"I'm much better, Sister Lan." Conan took the water and took a few sips.

"Lan, can you turn up your voice now?" Sonoko said.

"Yes, yes." Lan smiled.

Sonoko turned up the volume of the TV, and then played several stations. At this time, a piece of news was interrupted on the TV, "At the request of the police, an urgent notice will be broadcast below. There has just been a murder in Kubado Town. The body was found His mother who went to clean the room for him. The victim was Xi Shanwu, male, aged 41, and the place of death was in front of the computer desk at home. There was still a text on his computer screen, 'Fix one, Shadow Mage Stay'. According to the victim's mother, the victim was keen on making friends online, and today he was going to attend a party organized by the "Magic Lovers Alliance". The police hope that the "Magic Lovers Alliance" will call the police immediately after seeing the news , because you may be the murderer's next target..."

"No, no way!" Sonoko said in surprise.

"You have to inform them as soon as possible," Lan said. ...

living room.

Kikue Tanaka is playing chess with Naoko Kuroda, and Takaki Doi is watching.

"It's not good, I saw on TV that Mr. Xi Shanwu was killed." Yuanzi shouted.

"What? Who is that?" Kuroda Naoko asked.

"He might be the Escape King," Conan said, and then asked, "Where are the others?"

"Not good." Doi Takshu immediately ran upstairs, and Conan quickly chased after him.

"What, what's wrong?" Sonoko asked in a panic.

"Hama, Hamano-san hasn't shown up." Naoko Kuroda said worriedly.

"No way." Sonoko was worried.

"What else?" Tanaka Kikue asked.

"Let's contact the police as soon as possible," Lan said.

"Okay then, call the police as soon as possible." Kikue Tanaka said, "Mr. Huang and the others are in the kitchen, I'll notify them." Then he left.

Lan called the Mumu Police Department, but the connection was still not connected, and found that Doi Takshu and Conan ran down with ugly faces, ran outside, put down the phone and followed. Naoko Kuroda and Sonoko also followed, as did Kikue Tanaka, Yoshino Arara and Seihiro Sugan who came out of the kitchen. ...

behind the villa.

Hamano Toshiya was lying on his back in the snow about ten meters away from the villa. He leaned forward on the Doi Tucker tree, and it was already cold. Then he found Lan and others coming, and immediately said loudly: "Don't you Come here, he has passed away, so as not to spoil the scene, you better not come here."

"At the scene?" Huang Yi asked.

"Don't you understand?" Kikue Tanaka said, "Mr. Hamano's body is about ten meters away from the villa, but the surroundings are only the footprints of Mr. Doito who ran past just now."

"That's right, this is a crime that human beings without wings cannot commit." Xudan Qingrilu said, "It means that it is impossible to commit a crime."

"Why is it Mr. Hamano?" Sonoko's tears came down.

"Mr. Doito, what is the cause of Mr. Hamano's death?" Naoko Kuroda asked.

"I don't know, no obvious trauma was found, it looks like he died of freezing." Doi Takshu said.

"What, what?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Anyway, call the police first." Doi Takshu followed his footsteps and retreated. ...

living room.

Lan called the Mumu police department, and the Mumu police department told them to get together and not go anywhere.

Doi Takshu asked: "Miss Sonoko, please tell me what you heard on TV again, okay?"

"Okay." Yuanzi said the matter again.

"No way, is the murderer the 'Shadow Mage'?" Naoko Kuroda asked in surprise.

"So, he might be waiting to take our lives somewhere nearby now." Tanaka Kikue said, "Are you kidding? With the current road conditions, it will take at least two hours for the police to arrive. I think we should go down the mountain. Just wait."

"No." Doi Takshu said, "Our cars are all parked opposite the suspension bridge, and it's already dark now, in case he does something wrong with the car, it's hard to check just by the light of the emergency lights. "

"Well, can you let Lan's father come here? He should be at the foot of the mountain." Sonoko said with a smile, "His name is Kogoro Mori."

"Famous detective Mori Kogoro!" Arayoshi and the others were taken aback.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Doi Tucker said to Lan.

Lan called Maori, and Maori responded by rushing over there as soon as possible and asking him to notify Yamazaki.

Yuanzi who listened to Lan's call said with a smile: "I almost forgot, those two guys are still hanging out."

"If this is the case, it may not be possible to get through. There is no mobile phone signal nearby." Huang Yi said.

"It doesn't matter, what they brought is a satellite phone," Yuanzi said.

Lan called Yamazaki, and Yamazaki replied as soon as possible.

"Hey, Mr. Hamano hasn't come out all this time?" Conan asked Tsuki Doi, "What time did you come out?"

Kuroda Naoko asked with a smile: "Why, do you suspect that the murderer is among us, little brother?"

Lan said quickly: "Please don't mind, he likes to play detective games."

"I think it's better to say something to show our innocence." Huang Yi said, "We separated before three o'clock in the afternoon, and I have been with Xu Pan since then."

"Then I can't do it." Tanaka Kikue said, "I was alone until about 3:30 in the afternoon, and I was outside, and then I stayed here."

Doi Takshu said: "I stayed alone in the room for more than ten minutes. When I went to Ms. Sonoko's room to deliver medicine, I met Ms. Kuroda, and then I came to the living room to play chess with her."

Naoko Kuroda said: "I am in the same situation as Mr. Doi Tower. I watched TV for a while, and came out when I felt bored."

Doi Takshu asked: "How is it, little detective, did you find any problems?"

"No." Conan shook his head, then asked, "Do any of you know the true identity of 'Shadow Mage'?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, shaking their heads together.

"I think the murderer is really the 'Shadow Master'." Kuroda Naoko said, "He always said that I can fly into the sky or I can disappear without a trace at any time. If the murderer is the 'Shadow Master', Then today’s impossible crime can be explained.”

Huang Yi said: "He performed a bloody magic trick in front of us."

Suban Qingrilu said: "On the snow around Mr. Hamano's body, no one's footprints were left. Such a perfect work of art can already be called 'magic'."

"Okay, it's cold." Sonoko, Ran, Kuroda Naoko, and Tanaka Kikue said together, hugging their shoulders.

Huang Yi changed the subject, "If the murderer is really the 'Shadow Mage', I think what I said before should be the reason."

"What?" Conan asked.

"You may not have heard of the name Harui Fuden. He is a magician of the older generation, and his title is 'King of Escape'." Doi Takaki said, "Last month, he died unexpectedly while performing."

"What does that have to do with this event?" Ran asked.

"When all of us were discussing the accident, the 'Shadow Mage' suddenly said something very strange," said Huang Yi, "He said, 'The reason why the great magician died was all because of you. of'."

"Half a year ago, we had a very lively discussion about the 'Escape Show' that was popular in the past, and then we said that we should find someone to perform it." Naoko Kuroda said, "'Shadow Master' said that there will be an accident in the future, It's all because we're talking about that topic."

"After the 'Shadow Mage' made that remark, I had a phone conversation with Xishan, but most of the information on the Internet is fake," Huang Yi said, "That's why we have this meeting."

"So that's it. This party is actually held to find out who we are." Yuanzi said.

"More than that, we also want to explain to the 'Shadow Mage', so as to clear up his misunderstanding." Huang Yi said, "In fact, Xishan admires the 'Escape King' Mr. Harui Fuden very much."

"What?" Kikue Tanaka seemed taken aback.

"Just looking at his online name 'Escape King', doesn't that explain the problem?" Doi Takshu asked rhetorically.

"That's it." Huang Yi said.

"I really can't tell." Sonoko said.

Kuroda Naoko said: "Yeah, seeing that he often picks on Mr. Harui, I thought he didn't like Mr. Harui."

Looking at the time, Tanaka Kikue got up and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."

"For safety's sake, let me go with you." Doi Takeshu followed. ...
