It’s past 7pm!
I called 4-5 times but couldn't get through, and I still couldn't contact the Escape King and Shadow Mage. These two people didn't come as scheduled. They seemed to have disappeared and existed only in the virtual world.
After coming down from the second floor, Situ Xiu thought there would be a magic show. Who knew that the group of people said that the program list was with the Escape King. In other words, the arrangements for the show were all handed over to the Escape King.
So Arajinori and others began to choose someone to arrange tonight's program, and Hamano Toshiya suggested using magic to select.
The so-called magic is to write the names of the people in the Magic Lovers Alliance on a piece of paper, one paper per person, write it on the back cover, and draw OXΔ on the back of the name on each piece of paper.
O is the representative chairman.
X is the minister responsible for leading tonight's program.
Δ is responsible for boiling the bath water.
Then one person would draw the resurrection with her eyes closed. The chosen person was Sonoko, and she would draw various symbols on the backs of the papers with names written on them.
"Oh my god, let's just guess, I don't want to be the chairman."
Naoko Kuroda complained with a grimace.
"There's no way, the chairman, Escape King, didn't come." Huang Yi smiled helplessly.
Situ Xiu prayed secretly, hoping that the position of chairman would be Kaitou Kidd, so that he would be Kaitou Kidd all the time.
"Wait a minute, why do you want to create a program director?" Kuroba Kaito asked confused.
"We are the "Magic Lovers Alliance". Before the party was ready, the program director hid in the room and thought about magic alone."
Hamano Toshiya explained.
"I will burn this bath water," Sukama Qingyuelu said with an expressionless face.
Hamano Toshiya waved his hand and said: "No, of course there is a punishment for playing this game. Anyone who is unlucky will boil the bath water."
"..." Everyone.
MMP, why don't you become the chairman? You can say everything.
For the sake of fairness, Sonoko's eyes were covered with white cloth, and then Tanaka Takahisa wrote other people's names on pieces of paper, and then asked Sonoko to draw the symbols.
A few minutes later, the drawn paper was spread out on the table. Situ Xiu looked at it and realized that this was magic and there was nothing different about it.
"Let me turn over one first, starting with Chairman O, and see..."
Just as Kuroba Kaito was about to open O's note, Hamano Tori quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
"What's going on?" Kuroba Kaito stopped what he was doing, confused.
"Before I turn the page, let me make a prediction."
Hamano Toshiya smiled mysteriously.
"Prediction?" Situ Xiu was stunned. This guy was trying to be a ghost.
The others looked at Hamano Toshiya with curiosity, wanting to see the so-called prediction.
"If my hunch is correct, the acting chairman should be..."
Hamano Toshiya closed his eyes, put his index finger in front of his forehead, then suddenly opened his eyes, pointed at Naoko Kuroda, and said firmly: "It's you, Miss Kuroda."
"Oh no"
Kuroda Naoko was slightly startled. She picked up the note on the table and opened it in disbelief. She was suddenly surprised and said: "How is this possible?"
Naoko Kuroda!
Everyone was shocked and said with disbelief: "I really guessed it...".
"This guy...."
Situ Xiu looked at Hamano Toshiya in surprise. This should have been planned in advance, but these were all drawn by Mariko, and Hamano Toshiya was not seen grabbing the note during the whole process.
"Next, the one who boils the bath water is Ms. Tanaka."
After hearing Hamano Toshiya's words, Tanaka Takaki picked up the note and read it, and then said with surprise: "It's true...".
"That's awesome, Mr. Hamano..."
Yuanzi couldn't help but exclaimed. These were all drawn by her, and now they were predicted. It was simply unbelievable.
"You couldn't have dropped the bag, right?"
Tanaka Takahisa looked at Hamano Toshiya suspiciously.
"How is it possible? As you can see, I have never touched these papers at all."
Hamano Toshiya waved his hand helplessly, and then said: "And the one who made the mark was Miss Sonoko who was blindfolded."
"Okay, I'll burn it..."
Tanaka Takahisa curled her lips and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute, do you know where the wood is?"
Sukama Qingyue Lu shouted quickly.
"I know, Mr. Huang introduced this place when I first came here."
Tanaka Takakue responded and left the living room.
Xu Yanqingyue Lu looked at Huang Yi Ze, and Huang Yi Ze nodded.
"The only director left for program X is you, Mr. Doi."
Following Hamano Toshiya's words, everyone looked at Kuroba Kaito and saw him picking up the note.
"Don't be me...don't be me..." Kuroba Kaito muttered softly.
"..." Everyone.
Situ Xiu curled his lips and pretended, even you will be changed away unless I turn over.
"Huh?"
Everyone looked at the note in Kuroba Kaito's hand, which read Hamano Toshiya.
"Nani~~" Hamano Toshiya looked confused.
This plot is wrong!
How could it be me.
Hamano Toshiya scratched his head, looked at the note, and said to himself: "Strange...".
"Program director, just stay in your room and think of a good magic trick." Yuanzi smiled.
"Haha, don't make any mistakes this time."
Kuroba Kaito said with a smile.
Seeing Hamano Toshiya's expression of disbelief, Situ Xiu waved his hands helplessly, it's not that your magic failed, it's just that you met Kaitou Kidd.
"I'll go to the wine cellar to get some good wine. Let's have a drink later..."
Huang Yi smiled, then looked at Sukama Qingyuelu and said: "Mr. Sukama, just go to the kitchen and make some snacks!"
"Okay!" Sukama Qingyue Lu nodded.
The person holding the note left the living room, and Arayoshi and Suma Kiyoshiro also left, leaving Kuroba Kaito, Sonoko, Koizumi Anko, Xiaolan, and Situ Xiu in the living room.
"Mr. Doi, you are a member of the Magic Lovers Alliance, so you will definitely be able to do magic. Why don't you perform it now?"
Situ Xiu looked at Kuroba Kaito and said, the two had chatted online before and made an appointment to compete in magic offline. Although he didn't agree, he can still compete now.
"Now?" Kuroyu Kaidou was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Xiu, you can't cause trouble. Mr. Doi's magic is a show prepared for the evening."
Koizumi Hongzi said bluntly that even Yuanzi had prepared a magic show, and others must have prepared it too. If it was performed now, there would be no surprises later.
"Yes, Xiao Xiu, let's take a look later."
Xiaolan smiled slightly.
Sonoko on the side did not speak. Ever since she knew that Red Herring was a fat man, she felt deeply cheated and never wanted to talk to Kuroba Kaito again.
"Uh..." Situ Xiu responded, and then said: "Then I'll do the magic myself."
"???" Kuroba Kaito had a question mark on his forehead.
Situ Xiu put his right hand behind his back, smiled at everyone, and then returned his right hand from behind to the front, with two more bottles of drinks in his hand.
"Nani~~" Kuroba Kaito looked shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.
“I like to drink this drink”
Koizumi Hongzi smiled and walked up to Situ Xiu, took the drink, opened it and took a sip.
"A real drink?" Kuroba Kaito looked confused.
"I like to drink this." Xiaolan also took the drink, opened it and drank.
"Where's mine?" Yuanzi asked expectantly.
"They all have..."
Situ Xiu smiled, took out three more bottles of drinks, and placed them on the coffee table. One bottle for each person was just right.
"Mr. Doi, you're welcome," Situ Xiu looked at Kuroba Kaito and said.
Sonoko picked up a bottle of her favorite drink and drank it. After hearing Situ Xiu's words, Kuroba Kaito said, "Thank you...".
After saying this, Kuroba Kaito picked up a bottle of drink, looked at it first, then opened it and smelled it, and finally poured it into his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Kid, you're really good at making drinks."
Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but praise that a 7-8 year old child can do magic. This kind of magic talent is terrifying, almost as good as when he was a child.
If you undergo some magic training, you will become a world-famous magic master in the future.
"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Situ Xiu waved his hands, looking humble.
"Really?" Kuroba Kaito twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and his words sounded like he was showing off.
"of course"
Situ Xiu blinked, took out a white handkerchief, put it on the coffee table, and then said: "Mr. Doi, what fruit do you want to eat?"
"Fruit?" Kuroyu Kaidou was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Situ Xiu. It was a bit weird that he could turn into a fruit instead of a drink.
"Xiao Xiu, I want to eat kumquats"
After hearing Yuanzi's words, Situ Xiu pretended to nod on the handkerchief, then opened the handkerchief, and several kumquats suddenly appeared.
Then......
"banana"
"apple"
"Grape"
"...."
Looking at the various fruits on the coffee table, Kuroba Kaito's eyes widened and he wondered if he was dreaming. A little kid had conjured up so many fruits.
Koizumi Hongzi sat next to Situ Xiu and whispered: "Is there any secret in your handkerchief?"
"No~" Situ Xiu shook his head. He would not tell anything about the space bag and would only attribute everything to magic.
“Forget it if you don’t say it”
Koizumi Anko rolled her eyes, she would have to figure out the trick of this magic one day.
"Every time I see Xiao Xiu's magic show, I am shocked. It's a bit incredible."
Xiaolan laughed dryly, and then said: "I really want to know where these things are hidden...".
"Lan, this is the secret of magic. If you tell it, it won't feel mysterious anymore." Yuanzi smiled and said, "Isn't that right, Xiaoxiu?"
"Yes~"
Situ Xiu nodded, and then said: "Magic itself is a very strange thing. Even outsiders can't understand it. It's like Kaitou Kidd. Every time he suddenly takes off his disguise, he changes his hat, glasses, and clothes. This speed It’s amazing.”
"Yes, Kaitou Kidd changes clothes so quickly, I really admire him."
A trace of joy flashed in Kuroba Kaito's eyes. He hoped to be noticed by more and more people and attract the attention of some organizations so as to find out the reason for his father's disappearance.
shameless!
Situ Xiu shrugged.
"Of course, Kaitou Kidd is invincible."
Yuanzi's expression changed, and he clenched his hands into fists and placed them on his chest, with a hint of obsession in his eyes.
Seeing Sonoko's appearance, Xiaolan and Koizumi Hongzi couldn't help but smile bitterly, not knowing what to say.
Situ Xiu's face was full of helplessness. Now Yuanzi is still normal. In the middle and later stages, Yuanzi was too poisoned. Every time he saw Kaitou Kidd, he would call him Lord Kidd.
He glanced at Kuroba Kaito, and he was indeed snickering. This was probably because he was secretly delighted by the adoration of his fans.
It happened that at this time, Sukama Qingyuelu came out of the kitchen, cleaned the table in the living room, spread a layer of mats, and then walked back to the kitchen and took out the cutlery and plates and placed them on the table.
Soon Kuroda Naoko appeared in the living room, and the remaining three people, Tanaka Takahisoe, Hamano Toshiya, and Arayoshi Norori, had not yet arrived.
Sukama Kiyoshiro brought out the dishes. Kuroba Kaito looked at the dishes nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were all snacks without fish. If he was eating fish, he would probably be wasted.
"Hey, are you all ready?"
Everyone looked over and saw Tanaka Takakie walking in from the door of the living room.
"Yes, let's sit together quickly."
Naoko Kuroda smiled and invited.
"Hey, why didn't you see Hamano and Mr. Ara?"
Tanaka Takakue walked into the living room, glanced around the room, and then walked to the dining table.
"The program director, Mr. Hamano, was thinking about performing in the bedroom upstairs," Sonoko said with a slight smile.
"Mr. Huang went to the wine cellar"
Kuroba Kaito said with a smile.
"Uh..." Tanaka Takahisa responded and sat down at the dining table.
After a while, Huang Yi walked in from the door, holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's so cold, this is the good wine I brought."
"Come and sit down," Tanaka Takahisa invited.
Arayoshi walked over, glanced around, and asked doubtfully: "Hey, Mr. Hamano hasn't come yet?"
"Not yet, I'm probably still thinking about magic in the room," Naoko Kuroda shook her head.
"Then I'll call him." Yuanzi stood up.
"Sister Yuanzi, it's better for me to go," Situ Xiu looked at Yuanzi and said.
"Okay~" Yuanzi nodded.
"It seems that the Escape King and Shadow Mage haven't arrived yet..."
While the others were chatting, Situ Xiu got off the chair, walked out of the living room and went upstairs.
.....
Hamano Toshiya's bedroom door.
"Mr. Hamano? I'm going down for a late-night snack... Hamano...".
Situ Xiu knocked on the door and shouted several times outside the door. Two minutes later, there was still no response or movement.
"strangeness...."
Situ Xiu looked confused and had a bad feeling in his heart, and knocked on the door several times in succession.
"Coke, please go in and take a look."
Seeing that no one responded, Situ Xiu's bad feeling became stronger and stronger.
After hearing the order, Guisi walked through the wall and entered the room. He glanced around the room and found no one, so he opened the door from the inside.
With a creak, the door opened.
Situ Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a tapping on his shoulder. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He followed the open door and saw the bright lights in the room, and then walked in.
He glanced around the house and saw no one. When he saw the balcony window open, he quickly ran over and looked around, but still found no one.
etc!
Situ Xiu gradually looked into the distance, his expression became ugly, and he saw Hamano Tori lying on the thick snow more than ten meters away.
"Dead?"
Situ Xiu looked solemn. During this trip to the villa, he thought nothing would happen without Conan, but unexpectedly, a murder occurred.
"Lemon, go check around and see if anyone else is around."
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment and remembered that they mentioned that there were two people who hadn't come yet, the Escape King and the Shadow Mage. I wonder if Hamano Toshiya's death had something to do with these two people!
Ghoststone responded and flew away from the house, looking around the area.
Through the light, Situ Xiu took another look at the place where Hamano Toshiya was lying. He glanced around and his expression suddenly changed.
No footprints in the snow?
How did Hamano Toshiya get from the house to the snow field more than ten meters away?
If it was still snowing, it might cover the footprints in the snow, but the snow had stopped long ago.
How did the murderer do it?
Unable to figure it out for the moment, Situ Xiu checked for any clues in the room, and then walked out of the room. He was going to inform everyone about Hamano Toshiya's death.
Walk up to the living room on the first floor!
Everyone was still chatting happily. Seeing Situ Xiu come back, Kuroba Kaito said, "Why don't you come down, Mr. Hamano?"
"He is dead"
As soon as Situ Xiu blurted out his words, he looked closely at Ara Yoshinori, Tanaka Takakue, and Kuroda Naoko, trying to read something from the faces of these three people.
quiet!
Everyone's expressions changed again and again.
"No way!" Huang Yi said with a look of disbelief.
"How is that possible!" Naoko Kuroda said with a look of shock on her face.
“Go and have a look first”
Kuroba Kaito stood up and was about to walk out of the living room when Situ Xiu stopped him with his hand and said, "Mr. Hamano did not die in the room, but died outside."
"Outside?" Everyone was stunned.
"Mr. Doi, please help to check the scene and pay attention to the surroundings. It is best for others not to get close to the body to avoid damaging the scene."
Situ Xiu looked at Kuroba Kaito and said.
"Uh...Okay" Kuroba Kaito nodded, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Who are you"
Naoko Kuroda asked subconsciously. From Situ Xiu's words, she couldn't understand how a child could be so calm after seeing someone dead, and even know how to protect the scene of the murder.
Situ Xiu had a black line on his forehead and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
Who the hell are you?
Why does everyone ask this question.
Is it just to show off?
Situ Xiu vomited in his heart, glanced at everyone, and said calmly: "A person who doesn't like detectives and magic."
"..." Everyone.
Who are you kidding?
I can see it from your expression...
You are very proud!
Kuroba Kaito vomited in his heart and said, "Kids, please take us to see Mr. Hamano as soon as possible!"
"Okay, come with me..."
Situ Xiu nodded, turned and walked towards the gate of the backyard, followed closely by the others. They no longer had the intention to stay in the living room. Even Suka Kiyoshiro heard this and followed him out of the kitchen.
The gate to the backyard opened. Kuroba Kaito took the lead and looked at a place more than ten meters away. There was a person lying there, and he quickly ran over.
"Mr. Hamano?" Arayoshi looked a little ugly.
"Everyone, don't go there, let Mr. Doi check it out alone."
Situ Xiu reminded him again.
"Why can Mr. Doi go there?"
Tanaka Takahisa couldn't help but ask.
"After Mr. Hamano returned to the bedroom just now, only me, Mr. Doi, sister Sonoko, sister Xiaolan, and sister Koizumi Anko were in the living room. In addition, Mr. Sukama was in the kitchen. Excluding the above people, there are only a few of you. They all act alone..."
Situ Xiu said calmly.
The objects of his suspicion were Tanaka Takahisuke, Ara Yoshinori, Kuroda Naoko, as well as the two escapees and the Shadow Master who didn't come. As for the part-time worker Sukama Kiyoshiro, he had been busy in the kitchen.
Conan was away, so Situ Xiu had to go into battle himself. Fortunately, he had experienced several cases and still knew the basics of detectives very well.
After listening to Situ Xiu's words, Tanaka Takahisa's expression changed and she said coldly: "What do you mean, you mean we killed Mr. Hamano."
"Ah..." Aragoyori and Naoko Kuroda also reacted and looked at Situ Xiu.
"I didn't say that you killed Mr. Hamano. I was just using a detective's perspective to eliminate other people and suspect them one by one. And I not only doubted you, but also doubted the two people who didn't come."
Situ Xiu looked at Tanaka Takahisa with a flat look, and then said: "Suspicion does not mean that he is the murderer!"
After listening to Situ Xiu's explanation, Tanaka Takahisa's expression softened a lot, and similarly Arayoshi and Kuroda Naoko's expressions also improved a bit.
only......
The three of them looked at Situ Xiu with complicated eyes. It was a bit incredible that a child knew so much. This was the first time they had seen such an outstanding child.
Speak very concisely!
The analysis is spot on!
