Mrs. Zhengying gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.
At this time, the kind detective shook his head for her: "She is not the murderer, but she has already guessed the murderer."
Maya Hashimoto: "?!"
"If the murderer is not this old woman, wouldn't it be between Riki Iida and Togo Seikawa?"
Maya Hashimoto belatedly remembered her mission to hire a magician, and started to reason: "Iida Riki's magic skills are okay, but his appearance is really not good enough. If you want to choose one of them as an employee, you can only find a star."
Kappa. And all this is the will of Lord Uzo - I understand! The murderer must be rice..."
"Mr. Xinghe." Jiang Xia looked at Xinghe Tongwu, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Maya Hashimoto: "???"
While they were talking, a group of people with different thoughts had arrived at the stairs.
Jiang Xia stepped onto the second floor and asked two female high school students: "When you first came up, was this the scene you saw?"
In the narrow corridor on the second floor, the overhead lights were still turned off, and the light was dim. Only a little light spilled from the first floor and moonlight illuminated it.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko raised their heads and looked at the end of the corridor, surprised: "Yes, it's this dark and eerie feeling... By the way, that vase is exactly the same as the first one!"
Jiang Xia nodded, and suddenly raised his hand to press the light switch in the corridor. The trap set by the murderer was triggered, and the villa lost power again, plunging it into darkness.
Upon seeing this, Police Officer Chiba who was squatting in the bathroom on the first floor quickly reopened the switch according to what Jiang Xia just said.
In just two or three seconds, the light came on. Everyone on the second floor saw the scene in front of them clearly and were suddenly stunned - at the end of the originally empty corridor, there was a sudden appearance of Police Officer Takagi.
"Takagi?" Megure Police Department was stunned, "When did you run there?"
Officer Takagi laughed, feeling as if he was being supported by a magician. He said mysteriously, "I've been standing here without moving."
"Huh?" Memu Police Department looked suspicious, "Didn't you really take advantage of the power outage and come out of the nearby database?"
Conan: "..." If only you had half as much trust in your subordinates as you do in Maya Hashimoto and vodka...
He sighed, thought for a moment, and winked at Jiang Xia.
The next moment, the child suddenly jumped up in fear and pointed behind everyone: "Look behind you!"
"!" The others were startled by him and turned around instinctively, but there was nothing behind them.
When they turned around again, they were surprised to find that Officer Takagi had disappeared again.
"Takagi?" Police Department Megure stared at the door near the end of the corridor, "You went back to the room again, right?"
"No, really not, police department!" A voice of defense came from the void, "I have been standing here without moving!"
Everyone followed the direction of the sound, and then found in disbelief that the sound actually came from the end of the corridor, where the body was before - it was as if Officer Takagi had suddenly become invisible.
Jiang Xia looked at Maya Hashimoto: "When Conan called just now, you didn't turn around in response - you should know what happened, right?"
Maya Hashimoto nodded carefully.
Jiang Xia patted this member of the organization who was full of the sweet smell of summer: "Then it's up to you to explain it to everyone."
Maya Hashimoto: "..." Thank you for your cultivation. You are such a good boss. But I don't want to be a detective at all, let alone gain a sense of presence in front of the police...
However, looking at Conan, a "senior" in a certain sense, and remembering the other party's positive performance, Maya Hashimoto still had the courage to speak out with the idea of "learning from the old employees."
Facing the curious eyes of others, he pointed to the study room next to him, which is the magic machine room where Mr. Zhengying stayed: "I just saw Mr. Jiang Xia open this door, and the inside of the door...
…It’s a whole mirror.”
"Mirror? But when I entered the house just now, there was no mirror behind the door."
After hearing this, the Mumu Police Department stepped forward curiously.
This magic machine room was not far from the light switch. He opened the door, originally wanting to take a look behind the door. However, when he accidentally saw the scene in the room, he subconsciously took a step back as if he had seen a ghost:
"This, this...how could this happen?!"
Jiang Xia walked next to him and looked into the room - not long ago, this place looked like just a normal study room.
However, when the door was opened, a narrow corridor appeared inside. At the end of the corridor was a window illuminated by moonlight, and a vase was placed quietly on the window sill.
...Everything is the same as the end of the corridor where the body was before. It's like that space was copied and pasted and moved into this study.
Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were also stunned: This...is there really space magic in the world?
"This is not space magic, but a beautiful deception." As if he had guessed what they were thinking, Jiang Xia reached into the door and turned on the light in the study.
The light was bright, and the "corridor" in the study room was suddenly clearly visible to everyone - the 'database door' on the left wall was actually just a built-in cabinet door in the room, while the white wall on the right was just an expanded projection.
screen.
The vase placed at the end of the "corridor" is not a window sill, but a table, with a window-like glass cabinet behind it.
Jiang Xia walked into the room, put away the projection screen, and moved the small table away. In just a few seconds, the study returned to its original state.
"Before the power outage, what Xiaolan and Yuanzi saw was not the real corridor, but the study room reflected by the mirror - that's why they couldn't see clearly the 'vase on the windowsill' because there was no moonlight at that time.
"
Mumu Police Department looked left and right at the door, with an annoyed look on his face: "I only discovered such a big mirror behind the door now."
Jiang Xia comforted this policeman who was really not very observant: "That's because just now, it did look like an ordinary door - in fact, this door is also a magic prop."
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger and reached out to pull on the wall. The other half of the door popped out and clicked together with the door in front of him. The mirror was immediately sandwiched in the middle.
Jiang Xia touched the complete door: "It looks very ordinary at first glance, but it is actually thicker than ordinary doors, and there is a vertical seam in the middle - this should be specially made by Mr. Zhengying to perform the 'Christmas tree magic'
of."
"Although Mrs. Zhengying did not introduce this magic to us in detail just now, based on the photos in the album just now, it is not difficult to guess the specific content of this 'magic'."
