Chapter 45 Living Magic

After managing to enter the data room, Conan finally deduced the truth of the gift incident based on various clues.

He took Ogino Tomoya's medical records, rushed into Ogawa Masauki's office, and told them that Ogawa Yuta was in danger.

As someone who also has a young son, Ogawa Masayuki was deeply impressed by the surgery two years ago.

He believed Conan's words and hurriedly called the kindergarten, but was told by the teacher that Yuta Ogawa had been picked up by "his father's colleague".

Ogawa Masayuki's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurried to the kindergarten with a few people, hoping to find the patient's father who abducted the child in time and stop his next behavior.

Along the way, Ogawa Masayuki thought of countless possibilities.

Maybe his son has been killed; maybe that person just wants to use his son to threaten him, and as long as he is willing to let him kill him, he will let his son go; or maybe, someone is simply kidnapping a child...

Although any of these situations made Ogawa Masayuki tremble with fear, he could only think about these situations continuously so that he could respond in time.

However, when his son and the abductor were finally found, their respective states left Dr. Ogawa confused.

——Why is the son looking so happy, but the abductor is hugging someone and crying!

Ogawa Masayuki stopped next to the two of them and looked at the detective next to him with questions in his head. He saw that the detective was also twirling his small mustache, looking confused.

When Ogino Kei heard Ogawa Yuta's shout, he slowly calmed down from the intense emotion that seemed like he had been reborn.

After briefly recalling what happened before, he looked at himself in surprise and confusion.

The skin is rosy and shiny, and the crescent marks on the nails are neatly arranged. They are as healthy as possible. This... this doesn't look like they have sacrificed all their lives and souls and are about to die instantly!

Ogino Kei's mind was in confusion, and he suddenly felt scared. Could it be that everything that just happened was just a dream? Tomoya's soul was not with him?

Ogino Kei let go of Yuta Ogawa and turned around to look for his son. Of course he couldn't see his son, but because of this action, he caught a glimpse of a figure standing in the shade behind a tree a few meters away.

The man was wearing a black suit, with a strange mask on his face, and he was looking silently in the direction of Ogino Kei.

Although he still couldn't see his face clearly, looking at the familiar clothes and figure, and feeling the terrifying momentum of the other party, Ogino Kei was sure that this was the person who made him "reborn" again and again!

…those experiences were indeed not dreams.

In other words, his wisdom must still be around!

Although he was happy, Ogino Kei was a little uneasy. He wanted to confirm with the young man the current situation and how his lifespan and soul should be taken away.

However, his gaze only stopped there for a few seconds, and before he had time to look past, he saw the other party nodding towards him, and silently retreating behind the tree.

Almost at the same time, an elementary school student ran past Ogino Kei.

——Conan recognized it at a glance. The man standing behind the tree was the man in black who "kidnapped" Yoshida Ayumi in the library that day.

He opened the cover of the anesthesia watch and rushed towards it as if facing a formidable enemy, ready to fire the anesthesia needle at any time.

However, when we arrived at the place, there was no one behind the tree.

Conan was incomprehensible for a second, then he remembered something and suddenly raised his head to look at the tree crown above.

The green leaves rustled in the breeze, and of course there was no one in the canopy. Only a sparrow glanced down at him, jumped twice, flapped its wings and flew away.

...And except for this tree, there is no effective shelter within five meters of it.

Conan watched the man in black retreat behind the tree with his own eyes, so now, he only felt absurd. This was simply a magic that transformed a living person, and it was so successful that even he couldn't see the clues.

Only then did Mao Lilan run after him: "What's wrong?"

Her previous attention was mainly on Ogawa Yuta, and she didn't pay attention here.

Conan's face was serious, and after a while he shook his head heavily: "It's okay."

But, how do people slip away?

Seeing Conan start digging in the soil and knocking on the bark, Mao Lilan took out a handkerchief with black lines on his head, preparing to wipe his hands later.

Children are so playful.



Nearly a hundred meters away.

A mother and son passed by the bush, holding hands and walking away.

Ten seconds after they left, the bushes made a slight shaking sound.

Shiraishi got out of it as if nothing had happened, brushed off the dirt and dead leaves on his body, and left slowly.

Let Ogino Kei see him, just in case, as a bonus after-sales service.

Although doing this will make his identity a bit suspicious during [Masque], he will definitely be involved in many cases in the future, and it will be a matter of time before someone notices him.

Anyway, it's just a vest that comes and goes without a trace. As long as it doesn't reach the level where people like Kaitou Kidd fly around and follow police cars wherever they go, Shiraishi thinks he can accept it.

Before releasing the mask state, Shiraishi had already put [Flower Dream] in his backpack.

After this mission, only the blue, purple and half cyan petals of the stone flower were left. The rest had faded to white, barely worthy of its name of white lotus.

Arriving at the station, the bus came quickly. Shiraishi got on the bus and found a seat to sit down. He put the messy tasks behind and began to concentrate on thinking about what to have for dinner.

I wonder if I can buy some materials back and let Butterfly endure the cooking. This would save money, squeeze... ahem, and train the employees' abilities.

After making a mental list of the menu, Shiraishi planned to make one stop in advance and get off the bus from the vegetable market near his home.

The vegetable market he wanted to go to was not that big—at least, not big enough to have a separate site for it.

So after getting off the bus, what appeared in front of Shiraishi was a row of exhibition halls, and the vegetable market was behind them.

After checking the direction slightly, Bai Shi walked diagonally across a parking lot and headed straight to an alley ahead.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, I suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from the depths of the nearby exhibition hall.

……what's the situation.

Dead person?

Shiraishi was startled, stopped, and turned to look at the building on the side with the plaque "Middle Ages Art Exhibition Hall" hanging on it.
