Conan looked at the sleeping Shiraishi with complicated eyes.
Finally, I was able to start reasoning directly without anesthesia needles, but...
I have no clue at all.
Conan checked the floor where the clown magician disappeared and found no problem. When the man disappeared, his mask and clothes fell off, and there were no mechanisms on these things.
He really seemed to disappear out of thin air.
The keyword "disappear into thin air" reminds Conan of two people - Kidd and Black Cat.
But he didn't interact with Kidd many times, and the only time he saw him "disappeared out of thin air", after that, he quickly figured out the magic technique Kidd used.
But how the black cat disappeared, Conan still has no clue, just like the clown magician who disappeared this time.
To sum up, the black cat should have been Conan's biggest suspect.
But while the clown magician was talking to reporters and melon-eaters, the black cat was sitting behind them.
Conan asked people who had spoken to the clown magician. Judging from the topics exchanged between the two parties, both parties were real people.
Therefore, the clown does have someone else...
Conan's reasoning usually starts after all the methods are figured out and the evidence is found.
Unless he is confident in producing evidence or feels that the evidence has disappeared, this is basically the process.
But this time, let alone the evidence, Conan hasn't even figured out the method yet.
At this time, he really wanted to find someone to exchange ideas with, such as his father, the black-skinned detective in Osaka who he knew well, or Shiraishi.
However, it is a pity that Shiraishi, the only one present, does not seem to be in good condition today.
In addition to being awake on the way here, he fell asleep not long after entering the magic hall. Maybe because of the commotion, he reluctantly woke up. He just found a missing old man and fell asleep again.
Conan could only think silently.
After thinking for a while, he sighed.
… Let’s wait for the police to test the hair on the fallen mask and clothes before making further speculations.
…
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko have seen many murder cases. This time, although they were shocked, their moods quickly returned to calm.
There were too many people at the magic show and it was impossible to keep them there forever. After the police registered the addresses and phone numbers of everyone present, they sent the audience home.
Shiraishi pretended to be shaken awake by the police in charge of registration. He wrote down his address and the four of them walked out of the magic hall together.
Suzuki Sonoko's house was heading in a different direction from theirs. After waving goodbye with tears in her eyes, she turned around and left.
Mao Lilan originally planned to take Conan and take the tram with Shiraishi.
But while waiting for the bus, she answered a phone call.
——Mouri Kogoro said that he would not go home for dinner tonight because the beautiful proprietress of the nightclub gave him a voucher for a high-end restaurant.
Mao Lilan's face was full of anger when she heard this - it's okay to eat alone behind her back, but it's absolutely not okay to date a mature woman late at night behind her back!
Mouri Kogoro is not divorced yet, he is just temporarily separated!
With a gentle and sweet tone, she found out the location of Kogoro Mori's dinner party, then hung up the phone with a sneer, preparing to kill her father and crush her father's love.
Before leaving, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something and looked back at Baishi.
...It’s so late at night, what if Shiraishi falls asleep on the way home and is picked up by someone who has the same hobbies as Sonoko?
Mao Lilan thought about it for a moment and felt that it wouldn't work.
However, the person involved, Shiraishi, didn't seem to care. When she was distracted, the considerate neighbor had already noticed that she was in trouble, got on the tram, and then waved to her through the window.
Mao Lilan wanted to send Shiraishi home, but also wanted to go to the restaurant.
Conan looked at her troubled and distressed look and pulled her: "Let's go have a big dinner too. Brother Baishi probably came with his friends."
"Huh?" Mao Lilan suspected that Conan was blinded by the "big meal".
Aren't they the friends who came with Shiraishi?
...No. Conan has always been a good boy, he should not be bribed by a big meal, and he has always been very observant.
Could it be that the fact is that Yuanzi pretended to go home just now, but actually ran one stop ahead and got on the bus just now, waiting to pick someone up?
The more Mao Lilan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
But the bus had already left, and no matter what the outcome was, she had no time to get on the bus.
Mao Lilan could only suppress her aching conscience, drag Conan, and go with him to the high-end restaurant where Mao Li Kogoro was.
…
The next day, Shiraishi was lying on the bed reading the new single published by Shinna Kaho, when he suddenly felt the light and shadow on the curtains flickering - someone passed by the side of his house.
That's the road to the Mori Detective Agency.
Today is a working day, Maori Lan and Conan are both in school, Maori Kogoro sneaked to the street to play mahjong, there should be no one in the office.
After a while, the faint sound of the doorbell came, and sure enough, no one opened the door.
The visitor waited for a while, sighed in disappointment, went downstairs and left.
Shiraishi's eyes stopped on the mystery novel, and his ears kept listening to what was going on outside.
Just when the man passed by his window again, Shiraishi heard the mission prompt.
He put down the book and opened the light screen, glanced at the task bar, and saw a message hanging in it:
[Rescuing the target of the unemployed sommelier who was killed and crazy xN]
"..."N?
There are too many people and it is not displayed? Still can’t determine the specific number of people, so just fill in a letter to fool me?
Shiraishi's eyes fell on the word "taster" and he vaguely thought of a case.
In that case, the murderer did target many people...
Thinking of the people who passed by his window twice just now, Shiraishi turned on his mask, switched into cat form, took the elf ball in the air, and slipped out of the door.
After summoning the Butterfly Ninja, there is no need to hide the main body every time.
Looking at it this way, although this employee is very good at wasting money, he actually has many advantages.
Shiraishi walked outside the door, looked around, and soon saw a man wearing an old-style coat, standing not far away, talking to another man in a suit and leather shoes.
Shiraishi sneaked nearby and eavesdropped for a while. Based on the content of their conversation, Shiraishi completely determined which case this was.
——Ten years ago, when Kogoro Mori was still a policeman, he once caught a prisoner, and that person happened to be released from prison today.
During the days in jail, Murakami's father-in-law carefully reflected and felt that Kogoro Mori was actually his benefactor. So after he was released from prison, he planned to visit the resigned police officer first.
Seeing that Kogoro Mouri was not at home, Murakami left in disappointment, planning to find a place to live first, try to find a job, and come back to visit in two days.
But when he reached the street, a man stopped him.
In the eyes of Murakami, he was a good man with a gentle face, enthusiastic and talkative.
But Shiraishi remembered that the person who stopped him happened to be the murderous sommelier.
