Conan looked at the "Magician's Assistant" under the lamppost. He was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Shiraishi.
Although Black Cat usually saves people when he and Shiraishi team up, but now... Shiraishi is asleep and he can't see it.
No, even if the characteristics overlap, we cannot simply define the black cat as the murderer. This is just a baseless association.
...But I have always made pretty accurate associations.
In Conan's heart, heaven and man are at war.
After a while, while controlling his thoughts, he turned around and tried to shake Shiraishi awake so that he, who was more familiar with the black cat, could confirm the situation.
But before he could touch him, a hand from the back stretched out and grabbed his wrist.
Conan was startled and turned around to see a pair of sunglasses and a familiar face.
In the noisy venue, the black cat's voice cannot be heard clearly.
But combined with the keywords that occasionally drifted into his ears, Conan could guess what he was talking about - "You need help from others for everything, why can't you think for yourself?"
"..." Conan looked at him and then at the unknown magician who made a high-profile appearance in the center of the hall.
At this time, although the man had not yet taken off his clown mask, he was talking to a few viewers who boldly approached him. Judging from all the details, he looked like a real person.
It doesn't look like it's really a black cat.
Conan quickly calmed down and planned to catch the clown first.
He wanted to open his football belt and then his foot-strengthening shoes, but his hand was grabbed by the black cat and his movements were slowed down for a moment.
When he finally turned on the switch of the prop with a very awkward posture and was about to kick, the magician wearing a clown mask had already snapped his fingers and disappeared in full view of everyone.
Normally, this kind of disappearance would be considered a violation.
But at this time, in the magic venue, Shiraishi suspected that even if Kinoshita Yoshiro chopped himself into eight pieces, the system would not react.
After watching the genius magician's last cheating performance and getting an alibi for Black Cat's identity, Shiraishi let go of Conan, stood up, and left secretly while Conan was trying to solve the "mystery of the magician's sudden disappearance."
.
...It’s impossible not to leave. The owner of the back seat did not leave, but just went to the bathroom. If it is later, he will come back to chase people away.
…
Just now, Suzuki Sonoko, like most of the audience, was watching the clown magician who suddenly appeared.
Conan happened to be behind her at that time, and she didn't notice the movement there.
After the magician left, Suzuki Sonoko sat back in her seat and looked towards the stage.
Their seats were not close to the stage, and they could only vaguely see the silhouette of the dead.
After playing with Mao Lilan for so long, Suzuki Sonoko is now a person who has seen the world. She is not too scared, but is wondering whether she should chase the naughty Conan who rushes towards the stage.
Before she could think about it, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Bai Shi moving from the corner of her eye.
Shiraishi sat up straight from his chair, looked at the messy environment around him, raised his hand to smooth out his messy hair, and asked with some confusion: "The performance..."
"Discipline!!!"
Suddenly his arm was heavy, and Suzuki Sonoko hung up like a koala, crying like a raindrop, especially pitiful:
"In front, someone died in front. It seems to be a magic accident. It's so dark here. I'm so scared. Don't leave me!"
"..."
Shiraishi took a deep breath, patted her head, and cooperated with her performance.
…
The police arrived quickly.
Before their arrival, experienced security guards controlled the venue and prevented anyone from leaving, making it easier for the police to find the suspects.
After all, according to the descriptions of several assistants, they saw someone walking out of the cage with their own eyes. There may be some traces of human manipulation hidden in this "magic accident".
While Shiraishi lamented that this treasure land in Tokyo is really a detective per capita, when Megure Police Department looked at him expectantly, he hesitated and said:
"Sorry, I fell asleep halfway and didn't notice much. But when I woke up... I saw a strange person."
As he spoke, he pointed to the corner of the stage.
There was a staff member who lowered the brim of his hat. He looked like an old man, with a thin build and silver-white hair peeking out from under his hat.
Shiraishi walked over and directed other people's eyes there:
"When something like this happens, in addition to fear, the staff should also find it troublesome, but you seem to be very excited? Did you find some clues that we don't know? Or do you know the magician who overshadowed Mr. Yasushi Kujiyuan?
?”
Xinghe Tongwu was also standing in the crowd watching the fun.
He was still looking at Shiraishi, a young man who was valued by the police, but as Shiraishi asked, his eyes began to shift to the old man who was questioned by Shiraishi.
Then he paused suddenly.
After staying for two seconds, Xinghe Tongwu suddenly rushed over with great excitement: "Teacher Zhengying! Are you still alive!?"
Following this shout, the crowd watching the excitement began to exclaim professionally again.
They were indeed surprised.
Xinghe Tongwu's teacher is Mr. Zhengying, a well-known magician in the circle. Many of his magic tricks are still unbreakable.
Ten years ago, he suddenly disappeared.
The outside world does not know the reason for his disappearance, but they can only guess that it may be related to the lack of inspiration.
This guess is actually not too far off - Mr. Zhengying has a "Zhengying Notes" used to record inspiration. He always carries this thing with him and does not allow anyone else to read it.
But ten years ago, his new disciple stole this notebook.
Mr. Zhengying found that his notes were gone and went out to look for them.
Afterwards, I don’t know if he came back to his senses and realized that the notes were actually stolen and he couldn’t see clearly how others stole them, or if he was simply frustrated because he lost the notebook. As soon as he left, he never looked back.
Home.
Zhengying's wife and three apprentices didn't say anything, but in their hearts they thought he was dead.
In the original plot line, after the magic exhibition, the three apprentices went to visit their master's home, and the younger apprentice accidentally let the matter slip.
When she was questioned by Xinghe Tongwu, she angrily admitted the theft and even said that she would plagiarize Mr. Zhengying's creativity.
The more Xinghe Tongwu listened, the angrier he became. He accidentally picked up a vase, swung it up and smashed it down. When he came to his senses, he had become a shark criminal.
But now, since the shadow of Mr. who ran away from home has been caught behind the stage, this kind of thing will not happen.
——If Mr. Zhengying minds, with his reputation in the magic world, of course the young disciple would not dare to compete for ideas in person.
And if Mr. Zhengying doesn't mind... then Xinghe Tongwu doesn't need to hit anyone anymore. At most, he should draw a clear line with the unruly disciple.
The image of Mr. ten years ago had long hair, always wore sunglasses, long eyebrows and a mustache, which was very distinctive.
This also leads to the fact that after removing these characteristics, he will suddenly become very ordinary.
If Yoshiro Kinoshita hadn't reminded Shiraishi, Shiraishi wouldn't have discovered that this person had sneaked into the venue.
Mr. Shokage was very excited just now, probably because he saw Kinoshita Yoshiro's cheating magic tricks. Geniuses like them are often excited by the actions of another genius.
After catching this old glass heart who had run away from home for a long time, Bai Shi secretly glanced at the screen and saw that both tasks had been successfully completed.
So he found someone who would not fall in his direction, and fell asleep decisively.
The Mumu Police Department came over and looked at him expectantly for a while.
A minute later, he found that this time the "Sleeping White Stone" seemed to have nothing to say. He was disappointed for a moment and could only start to investigate on his own.
