She didn’t know if it was Mrs. Masakage’s ghost story-like experience that inspired her. She stared at the end of the corridor, looking left and right, and suddenly she quietly pulled Suzuki Sonoko: “Sonoko, do you think...it’s a little strange here?
"
"Huh? What's weird?" Suzuki Sonoko looked around and had no clue.
But the problem is not big. She pulled Jiang Xia beside her: "Tell me in detail! Jiang Xia can definitely help you analyze it."
This reinforcement seemed quite reliable, and Maori Lambi described it gesturally: "It's just... before we saw the body, and after the crime, it seemed a little different."
"So this is what you're talking about." Halfway through, Suzuki Sonoko touched her chin like a detective, "When you say that, it seems a little bit - yes, I understand!"
The tips of Maya Hashimoto's ears twitched, and she glanced over with her peripheral vision: This lady of the Suzuki Consortium, who is suspected to be Usa's minion, is also going to start reasoning?... Just in time for him to take a closer look at this guy's strength.
As soon as the idea came to an end, Suzuki Sonoko said: "After the corpse appeared, the atmosphere suddenly became gloomy. It was much scarier than before the corpse appeared! - The corridor must be too narrow, and the corpse's presence was too strong, so it
It changed the style of the entire corridor.”
Maya Hashimoto: "..."
He turned his head away silently: I almost forgot that this woman had shamefully spent money to join the group, and the track is different from theirs... It's better not to make random comparisons until the situation is clear.
…
When two girls were discussing about the sixth sense that they didn't know was accurate.
the other side.
Akai Shuichi tried his best to filter out their chatter, trying to hear clearly the conversation between the police and Mrs. Masekage in the distance - they were chatting about past events over the years, and if Uzo had really exchanged magic with Master Masekage, then perhaps he could learn from these conversations.
There are clues in it.
Judy was typing on the keyboard nearby, planning to record the sound coming from the bug, and then use the machine to amplify the chatter in the background.
Halfway through her work, she couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "This case does not sound right - there is only one person in a villa, and there are nine people in it. These are two completely different behaviors, regardless of whether they are talking.
The sound, the number of rooms with lights on, or the cars in the yard...you can see the difference with just a little attention.
"Since that little thief was able to sneak into the villa and tamper with the lights on the second floor, he must have discovered that the number of people was wrong, but why did he still come to steal today?"
Akai Shuichi could not hear the conversation in the background at all.
After a moment of silence, he glanced at the recording strip on Judy's screen and decided to hand it over to the machine: "There are more things that are wrong - when the police reported the scene, they did not say that they had found any additional information in the corridor or library.
There were blood stains. But the deceased died from being hit on the head with a blunt instrument. If this was really a temporary extermination, the scene should not have been treated so cleanly."
"So...could it be that this was a premeditated murder?" Judy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, "Oops, is it because Himemiya Nobuyoshi knew the news about Uzo, so he urgently silenced her?
!”
Akai Shuichi: "The magician's wife is still alive. She and Mr. Masakage have been married for many years. If Usa has really studied under a teacher, then she should be the one who knows the most - she was chatting with the Megure Police Department just now.
This topic, but..."
Judy realized it later. She covered her mouth and said awkwardly: "I won't talk anymore. Listen first, listen first."
…
"You really can't remember what the person who came to scold Mr. Masakage looked like five years ago?" Megure Police Department looked at the elderly Mrs. Masekage and sighed, "Then think about it again, and
Any other suspicious persons?"
Mrs. Zhengying shook her head helplessly: "This house was designed by my husband himself. He regards it as his own work of art. So he will invite anyone to his home with whom he can chat a few words, no matter if he is familiar with them or not.
Visits - so before my husband disappeared, various people came to visit our home every day, and I couldn't tell who was who."
"It was really lively at that time."
Iida Riki also remembered the scene when the master was still there. He said nostalgically: "Teacher Masakage would ask us to come out to receive guests together, and would also perform some magic tricks that could only be performed in this villa. Because of this, many people came here because of this."
There are more and more people – it’s like an attraction in the magic world.”
Mrs. Zhengying smiled and said: "Yes, especially the Christmas tree magic, every Christmas..."
In the middle of her words, she stopped abruptly, with unconcealable astonishment on her face. Next to her, Xinghe Dogo and Iida Riki seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions suddenly became strange.
Maya Hashimoto: "...?" What are you doing? Why do everyone look so secretive? Is it the kind of thing where "someone died here at Christmas a few years ago, and the relatives and friends of the deceased come to take revenge today"
Old script?
"...No, how can you call it cliché? This is clearly a classic!" Maya Hashimoto thought of her boss's terrifyingly penetrating gaze, and quickly corrected her thinking, "Without leaving any unique mark, who can realize this?
Was it my wise and powerful superior who did this? Just like a serial killer who always leaves a signature after committing a crime, Lord Uzo used a little trick that he likes. This is normal and nothing to make a fuss about."
Next to him, there was someone who thought about it with him.
Suzuki Sonoko blurted out: "Why do you have such weird expressions? What is 'Christmas Magic'? Did there ever be a murder case when you performed this before?"
"No, no! Haha." Mrs. Zhengying stuttered a little, "There has never been a murder in my family, except this time. As for the Christmas magic, that magic..."
Iida Riki took over her words: "We can't tell how that magic was changed - Master Masekage pays great attention to mystery. Rather than teaching new magic directly to his apprentices, he prefers to let us figure it out ourselves. So, I think
If you know about this magic technique, I’m afraid you can only ask Master Zhengying.”
…
"Who asked her about her technique? Suzuki Sonoko clearly asked what the magic looked like?"
The eavesdropping duo in the distance, Judy was typing on the keyboard and muttering dissatisfiedly: "I checked, and there has indeed been no murder in that house in the past 10 years. As for the Christmas magic...it's done!
This magician once visited Mr. Zhengying’s house, and there is a record about this magic on his blog.”
