The familiar scene made the two female high school students extremely nervous.
Conan came back to his senses and comforted them: "There are not so many accidents. The accident rate of escaping magic is actually not as high as many people think. Just watch it with peace of mind."
After a pause, he thought of the bad luck of the classmates around him, and he hesitated: "To say the least, even if there is an accident... When magicians perform escape magic, they usually agree on a distress signal with their assistant in advance - last time
The magician who died was locked into a water tank because of a mole around him. This time, the stage was much wider than that time. No one could fall from the sky to harm anyone, and the assistant on stage was guarding the magician.
There are two of them. They supervise each other and there should be no opportunity to commit crimes."
Listening to this long series of words, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but touch her chin: "..." There are so many things in this kid's mind. Are today's elementary school students already in this state?
While chatting, time passed by minute by minute.
And all of this was presented on the stage - the escape water tank containing the magician was blocked by a curtain, and in front of the thick curtain, a clock half a man's height was placed there, with the hour and minute hands moving clearly.
In the blink of an eye, the hour hand was almost pointing from zero to five.
"It's been more than 4 minutes." The two female high school students gradually had a bad feeling in their hearts. Suzuki Sonoko turned her head and muttered to Mao Lilan, "Is it really okay?"
"Big, probably." Mao Lilan wasn't too sure. "Four minutes is a long time, but it's not difficult for a trained person to hold his breath... I hope he's okay."
Amidst the amplified "click" and "click" sounds, the minute hand gradually exceeded 5 minutes and fell further back.
On the stage, the expressions of the two beautiful female assistants gradually changed. Their smiles were originally as uniform and professional as machines, but now, they looked at the hands of the clock with uneasiness on their faces.
Equally uneasy are the vast audiences who gradually realize something is wrong.
And the ones who were most uneasy...were two lawless gangsters mingling among the crowd.
Maya Hashimoto and Vodka, two people who at first glance seem to have nothing to do with each other, have their thoughts in strange synchrony at this moment.
"We can't wait any longer!" Maya Hashimoto secretly thought, "The magician is probably dead in the water tank. According to my experience, a large number of police will rush to the scene, investigate, and then kill some innocent people."
The officers pulled me in as a suspect...like me who didn't do anything."
"Although at first glance, I have nothing to do with the dead magician, but if you think about it carefully, when the guy finished escaping from the birdcage just now, he happened to 'flash' to me - if someone says that I took the opportunity to do it at that time
My hands and feet, how should I deal with them?"
"In normal times, I could ask the person sitting next to me to testify for me, but now, next to me is an old guy who seems to be from the FBI. Judging from the way this person looks at me, he seems to have doubts about me... What if he
Not only did he not help testify, he actually added insult to injury, so wouldn’t I be in trouble?”
Maya Hashimoto, who had not been to the city for a while, suddenly felt the malice of the bustling city, and felt that this helpless feeling was damn familiar - before he took over the task of building the island, he had been wandering around suspects every day.
On the verge of breaking out, I could only avoid being taken away by the police by holding Jiang Xia's thigh... By the way, Jiang Xia!
"Yes." Maya Hashimoto turned to look at Jiang Xia, as if seeing a beam of hope, he muttered to himself:
"If the magician on the stage is really killed, then Jiang Xia will definitely be able to find the murderer. Why don't I pretend to go to the toilet now and come to the door of the venue. When the crime happens, many spectators will definitely run away in fear.
At that time, I would blend in with them and leave together to avoid the police.
"After this night, Jiang Xia will definitely have found the real culprit. In this way, I will neither have to contact the police nor face the FBI... That's right, I can't wait any longer, let's leave now!"
With this thought in mind, he held his stomach and quietly stood up and left the scene.
Almost at the same time, another person stood up in a similar posture on another seat and also slipped towards the door.
Two sneaky people walking with their heads lowered happened to bump into each other at the door. They were startled at the same time, and looked up quickly...and then were startled again.
Maya Hashimoto: "..." Where is Vodka going? Is he hiding from Usa too? - Wait! Judging from various news a while ago, Usa-sama quite likes to torment this code-named cadre... If
Today the gentleman went for vodka, so once the vodka leaves, won't the danger also leave with him?
In this case, maybe I should stay in this seemingly dangerous venue instead of running away...
On the opposite side, Vodka's heart also pounded: "..." This Uzo minion is not staying in his seat, why is he running around?... Could it be that his guess was wrong again, that the danger is not in this venue, but outside?
The two people looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time they had the idea of going back, and at the same time they looked at each other warily, wanting to observe the state of the other side first.
In the distance, a pair of eyes looked at this side with a cold smile.
Almost the next moment, Vodka's ears twitched and he turned his head to look at the door keenly: "What's going on? There seems to be a siren outside?!"
Maya Hashimoto: "?!"
He looked back at the stage, with a confused look on his face: the two female assistants were still looking at their watches anxiously, but they did not lift the curtain to find the magician's body... How come the police are already here before the man is dead?
Unless...those policemen came for something else?
…
"There is indeed something wrong with these two guys." Conan pushed up the flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a cold reflection flashed across the mirror, "They certainly did not come to this magic show to watch magic."
Just now, after guessing that Maya Hashimoto and the people sitting next to him were conducting illegal transactions, Conan made a prompt decision and privately contacted the Megure Police Department in the name of "Kudo Shinichi" and asked him to bring people here to search.
——This report lacks substantiation, and the police were able to be called in purely because of the credibility of the detective himself.
Therefore, Conan habitually wanted to dispatch the police in the name of Jiang Xia, but then he thought about it, what if the organization members were really caught today, and the police had an insider and leaked the information of the caller to the angry organization... Jiang Xia and
The people around him may be in trouble.
So in the end, after hesitating for a moment, Conan used the name "Kudo Shinichi".
"I hope that the Memu Police Department will not reveal the identity of the person who called the police to anyone as I told you." Conan sighed, "To say the least, even if it is accidentally leaked... the other party will probably only hear the name of a dead person.
People would think it was a bad joke instead of pursuing it."
