There was a person lying in the white snow, with no footprints around. It was weird, scary, and creepy.
Kuroba Kaito walked up to Hamano Riya, glanced at him, knelt down and touched Hamano Riya's body temperature, and felt a sudden chill.
died!
He frowned slightly and checked Hamano Toshiya's condition. There were no wounds on his head or face.
Huh!
Kuroba Kaito's expression changed, and he held up Hamano Toshiya's neck with his hands. A deep strangulation mark appeared. Then he continued to check other places, but there was no scar.
Die by strangulation!
After checking Hamano Toshiya, he looked up and looked around. There were large trees in the three directions to the left, right and front, forming a forest. The snow on the ground was completely white, with no traces of footprints.
Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment, stood up, turned around to face everyone, and said: "Mr. Hamano is dead. Judging from the injuries on the body, he was strangled to death, but... Judging from the scene, this is a crime that cannot be carried out by humans without wings, in other words, it is an impossible crime."
"Is it impossible to commit a crime?" Huang Yi was stunned for a moment.
"Indeed, in the middle of such a wide backyard, it is impossible for someone to move without leaving any footprints."
Tanaka Takahisa held her chin and said.
"But why Mr. Hamano?" Sonoko bit her lip.
"Yes, why was Mr. Hamano killed?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.
"It should be hatred!"
Koizumi Anko glanced at the three people except them. The only explanation was that they were killed by someone because of a grudge.
"I remember Mr. Hamano was once involved in the battle between the Escape King and the Shadow Mage. Could it be that they had a grudge?" Naoko Kuroda said casually.
"This..." Huang Yi opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say it. He was currently under suspicion. It would be great if he could get rid of the suspicion.
"They haven't shown up yet. They must be hiding somewhere. Maybe it was one of these two people who killed Mr. Hamano."
Tanaka Takaki glanced around, as if to verify her words.
Listening to the conversation of several people, Situ Xiu thought deeply. He still had no clue. He could only wait for Ghost Stone to come back, narrow down the scope of suspicion, and then monitor the entire house to ensure that the murderer could not continue to harm others.
"We'd better go back to the house and think of a solution first. As for Mr. Hamano's body, let him stay outside to keep the scene undamaged."
Kuroba Kaito suggested.
"Then I'll call the police..." Huang Yi turned and returned to the house.
Seeing everyone else return to the house, Situ Xiu turned his head and glanced at Kuroba Kaito, then followed him into the house.
This time, the dead man surprised him. Kaitou Kidd was originally here. He thought it was just a simple theft, and he kept thinking about what Kaitou Kidd would steal.
only.....
From beginning to end, he never heard anyone mention Kaitou Kidd's notice letter, so he always thought it was a simple magic gathering for fans.
Therefore, he also wanted to watch Kaitou Kidd's magic show and tease Kuroba Kaito.
After returning to the house, Huang Yi dialed the phone and found that the call could not be made. He suspected that someone had cut off the phone line.
This was so serious that Tanaka Takahisa was so afraid that he wanted to leave. The others quickly tried to persuade him, but they still couldn't stop him.
So a group of them went to the only bridge to get out, and saw that the bridge had been burned down and they could not get out, which meant that they were trapped here.
Everyone had no choice but to return to the house in the villa and gathered in the living room.
Situ Xiu glanced at Ara Yoshinori. He originally wanted to ask the three of them what they were doing when they were alone, but it felt a bit nonsense. The one in the wine store got wine, the one boiled water for bathing, and the other one went back to the bedroom. You know without asking.
In the living room, Sukama Qingyue Lu was clearing the dining table. Everyone was no longer in the mood to have late-night snacks and perform magic shows, and everyone was sitting on the chairs with solemn expressions.
Suddenly, Yuanzi whispered: "Is it my fault?".
"Ah?" Situ Xiu looked at Yuanzi, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Yuanzi, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolan asked a little worried.
"Because... I chose Mr. Hamano to be the program director..."
Yuanzi paused for a moment, looking a little depressed, and then said: "If he had not been alone in the room at that time, he would not have been harmed. It was the symbols I drew that harmed him."
"Garden..."
Before Koizumi Anko finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito asserted: "It's not your fault. Your eyes were blindfolded at that time. Those notes were just drawn by you casually. It was like missing the lottery. No one It’s the same reason that you blame the person who threw the dart.”
Sonoko couldn't help but was startled and looked at Kuroba Kaito without saying anything. Kuroba Kaito smiled back and continued: "Besides, you are just an assistant for Mr. Hamano's performance, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, right? ".
"Yeah~" Sonoko nodded, feeling better after being relieved by Kuroba Kaito.
Xiaolan and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
Listening to the conversation of several people, Situ Xiu recalled the situation at that time. He thought it was just an ordinary joke and didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that there is something wrong with that magic.
At that time, Hamano Toshiya's reaction was that he didn't believe that the program director would be him. In other words, the magic was tricked by someone who knew in advance that there would be such a magic trick.
At the time, Situ Xiu thought that the bag was dropped by Kaitou Kidd, but now it seems that is not the case, but that the murderer dropped the bag in order to kill Hamano Toshiya when he was alone.
Arrogance?
Naoko Kuroda?
Tanaka Takahisae?
Among these three people, Situ Xiu remembered that neither Arayoshi nor Naoko Kuroda had any movement at that time. Only Tanaka Takahisa took the initiative to write the names on the notes for others and handed them to Sonoko.
Could it be that Takahise Tanaka is also one of the assistants that Kuroba Kaito mentioned?
A bold idea, Sonoko is the external assistant, and Tanaka Takahisa is the internal coordinator?
The magic of magic lies in prophecy. Hamano Tori has never touched the note, nor has he had close contact with Sonoko. So if you want to know who is who, you can only plan in advance.
There must be an internal agent to help, so that everyone can feel that Hamano Toshiya has not touched the note, and has been prophesied to rule out Sonoko. The only person left is Tanaka Takahisuke who has touched the note.
Situ Xiu could only put this bold idea in his heart for the time being. He had no clues, no evidence, and no reason.
Besides, there are still two people who haven't come, the Escape King and the Shadow Mage, which are also questionable.
"Ms. Kuroda, you just said that Mr. Hamano was involved in a fight. What happened?"
Koizumi Anko looked at Kuroda Naoko and said.
Hearing this, Situ Xiu's expression changed. This may be the reason.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Naoko Kuroda explained: "We were discussing on the Internet half a year ago the old magician Harui Fuden named "Escape King". His escape show was very exciting, but he has already He had retired for a long time, so everyone hoped that someone could perform again. As a result, the magician Harui Faze performed again a month ago, but he died unexpectedly during the performance.
However, recently when everyone was discussing the accidental death, Shadow Mage suddenly said something very inexplicable..."
Naoko Kuroda paused for a moment, glanced around, and then said: "He said: The death of that great magician was all caused by you...".
"etc....."
Situ Xiu called out Naoko Kuroda, and then said: "You just said that Master Harui Fuden has retired, how could he perform again? Could it be that this master was present when you were discussing?"
His idea was that Chunjing Fengden saw others discussing the escape show, and in order to let fans witness it again, he risked his age to perform the escape magic show again.
"We also thought about it. We checked at that time whether Master Harui Fuden used a certain online name to sneak in and see our discussion, or maybe he was his friend, but the virtual network was all pseudonyms, so it was impossible to verify..."
Huang Yi shook his head, and then said: "So we came up with a way to hold this magic party to confirm the people we discussed half a year ago."
"So what did you find?"
Situ Xiu thought about it and asked.
"Except for the Shadow Mage, whose identity is unknown, everyone else is at the scene."
Huang Yi paused, and then said: "I know the Escape King whose online name is Xishan Wu."
"Then the Shadow Mage who didn't come this time is Harujing Fengden's friend?"
Situ Xiu pondered for a moment, since there was no Chunjing Fengchuan, he could only be Chunjing Fengchuan's friend.
He suspected that in the incident discussed half a year ago, the shadow mage told Chunjing Fengchuan about the incident, which led to the accidental death in that performance. Therefore, in order to avenge Chunjing Fengchuan, the shadow mage designed this gathering to kill the person in the discussion. people.
"It should be possible, but..."
Huang Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Shadow Mage joined recently and does not know the events discussed half a year ago, but from his words it seems that he knows what happened half a year ago, which is a bit strange."
"What...."
Situ Xiu was stunned for a moment. Master Ying didn't know about it from the beginning, but only learned about it later. In other words, he concluded that Master Ying's message to Chunjing Feng was not established.
How did Master Keying know this?
etc!
He suddenly remembered a terrible thing. Some chat software in the previous life could create several different accounts to flirt with, and use different accounts to chat with one person.
If, just for example, someone in this group of people who knew Master Harui Fuden died unexpectedly during that performance, and they believed that the person in question was the cause, they felt revenge and planned the murder.
However, that person was worried that the murder would be exposed, so in order to divert other people's attention, he created a virtual account, making everyone suspect that this account was responsible.
Thinking of this, Situ Xiu secretly thought: What a genius I am!
Watching Situ Xiu asking questions and thinking, Kuroba Kaito always felt that the child in front of him was different, a bit like the little detective Conan he met last time.
Could it be that the air in urban Tokyo is different and that even children have such high IQs?
