Mrs. Ninety-nine sighed: After going around and around, things actually returned to the original point. The cruel fact was before her eyes - the person who killed her husband was among the three apprentices who lived together day and night.
"But, who did it?" Mrs. Jiujiu pinched her eyebrows with a headache, "My husband should have nothing to feel sorry for them, and those three children don't look like cruel people..."
Jiang Xia pointed to the long string of garbled characters on the phone screen: "Your husband has written down the murderer. These numbers separated by * are the letters he left - for example, group 1, '126871' at first glance
It's hard to decipher, but if you press the keys on the phone in sequence."
He made a vague stroke with his finger: "It will become a letter, 'D'."
"That's it!" Mrs. Ninety-nine finally understood. She hurriedly looked at the next set of numbers, "'32489'... This is 'C'."
After invisible drawing, the four sets of numbers were quickly transformed into letters and appeared in front of everyone.
[DCマコ]
"'Mako'... Asako?"
Mrs. Ninety-nine looked at these two pseudonyms and immediately matched them with the beautiful and considerate female student. She couldn't believe it for a moment, "How could it be Mazi? Is there any misunderstanding in this? - By the way,
There is 'DC' in front of it, which is not her name. Could it be that my husband was desperate and wanted to use Mazi's name to convey some information?"
Jiang Xia looked at her watch: "I remember you said before that your husband likes classical music very much. There is also a piano in the basement - the notation 'D.C' often appears on the music scores, which is Italian.
da capo means to go back to the beginning and play again.”
Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly and suddenly said: "The deceased may have wanted to say that Miyoshi Asako wanted to kill more than one person."
Mrs. Ninety-nine was stunned, and immediately jumped up: "Fumino...Fumino is with her!"
Jiang Xia consoled her: "Don't worry, so many days have passed since the first murder. If you want to kill me, you would have killed me long ago - why not make a phone call first and ask where Miss Mazi is now."
Mrs. Ninety-nine: "..."
…
The group of people ran out of the basement and happened to bump into the magician's other two apprentices.
Mrs. Ninety-nine gave a few simple explanations and pulled these two people into the search team.
They visited the shopping places where Kujuku Fumino and Miyoshi Asako often went, but found nothing. In the end, a group of people had no choice but to return to the Kujuku family's house to see if those two people had returned.
"I actually didn't quite understand what you just said." Yushi Momochi scratched his head and spoke hesitantly, "Senior Sister Asako killed Master? Really or not? Haven't they always gotten along in harmony? Master also admires her very much.
I rarely reprimand, so why did it suddenly develop to the point of killing someone?"
Jiang Xia glanced at the far corner of the street: "Probably because of some old grudges, such as the young magician who played with fire in the basement."
Momochi Yuji looked confused: "Who? What kind of magician who plays with fire?"
Sanada Ichisan's expression suddenly changed: "Sure enough, it's because of Kinoshita Yoshiro..."
Mentioning this name, Yushi Momochi had an impression. He was very worried about it and whispered: "You mean the genius magician who unfortunately passed away 14 years ago? - Because he died accidentally during practice, news reports
After I came out, my parents refused to allow me to learn magic. If it hadn't been for this, I would have embarked on this path long ago, and maybe by then I would have been the second magic genius to shock the Tokyo magic world..."
Mrs. Ninety-nine pushed away this naive apprentice who couldn't grasp the point, and rushed to Sanada Ichisan: "What does 'sure enough' mean? Do you know something?"
Sanada Ichisan hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating whether he should say it or not.
Finally, he sighed and confessed: "One time I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the basement to kill time. Who knew that the lights in the basement were on and there were other people here.
"I walked to the door in confusion, looked inside, and saw Mazi standing by the wall, holding the photo very preciously.
"I didn't ask much at that time. I just felt that I had broken someone else's secret and left quietly in embarrassment. In fact, I had some bad premonitions at the time, and I always vaguely felt that something was about to happen... But I didn't expect that she
In the end, he actually kills someone."
"Huh? You already know."
While they were chatting, a voice came from the side and joined their conversation smoothly.
After two seconds, everyone suddenly came back to their senses, turned their heads suddenly, and saw the person they were discussing just now, walking slowly towards this side with Kujiu Fumino on his back.
"Fumino!" Mrs. Kujiu called her daughter's name and rushed towards Miyoshi Asako anxiously.
Asako Miyoshi turned around and allowed her to take off the sleeping child from her back. Seeing the nervous look on the teacher's wife, she laughed softly: "What are you afraid of? She just fell asleep."
After a pause, the smile on her lips became more sarcastic: "Actually, I should have let her sleep for a longer time... just like my brother did back then."
The two classmates looked at her in shock and repeated in different tones: "Your brother?"
"Yes, it is the Kinoshita Yoshiro you just mentioned - the magic genius who has won the magic award at the age of only 20 and has attracted much attention from all parties."
Miyoshi Asako lowered his head and stretched his wrists that were sore from holding the child: "My parents passed away early. My brother raised me single-handedly since I was a child. He is my only relative. At that time, we supported each other and passed a long period of time.
After a hard time, everything was finally getting better...but at this moment, that guy killed him as easily as he crushed an ant."
Mrs. Jiujiu had some guesses, but she couldn’t believe it: “The ‘that guy’ you mentioned..."
"Who else could it be?" Miyoshi Asako raised his head. His eyes, which had always hidden emotions in the past, were filled with clear hatred. "Of course it's the one who is jealous of my brother's talent and worried about this apprentice.
The 'top magician' who outshines his own brilliance——Ninety-nine Yuan Yasu."
"This is impossible!" Mrs. Jiujiu gritted her teeth, "Is there some misunderstanding? Magic performances are inherently dangerous..."
"There's no need to explain it to him, I've seen it all with my own eyes." Asako Miyoshi snorted, "Fourteen years ago, my brother was going to perform a water escape magic trick. I also went backstage that day to witness his magic.
First performance.
"When I was wandering around backstage, I accidentally discovered Yuan Kang squatting next to the prop box, lowering his head and tinkering with a pair of metal handcuffs."
