Saturday, March 13, after the snow, evening, Okutama Town, Rokugoshiyama, Magic Lovers Alliance Party Villa, living room.

Conan watched Kikue Tanaka and Doi Tucker go upstairs, and thought of the identity that the name Doi Tucker might represent, and was curious about what they would say, so he told Lan that he wanted to go upstairs and add some clothes.

"Then I'll go with you. Lan said.

"I will wear it myself, I don't want Sister Lan to help me. Conan feigned embarrassment.

"But, now......" Lan said.

"It's okay, I'll shout out if there's something. Conan ran away. ……

Kikue Tanaka's room on the second floor.

After closing the door, Kikue Tanaka asked Doi Tucker, "What do you want to tell me when you come with you?"

"You know it in your heart. "Speaking of which, I am also at fault, because I am here because your speech is full of hatred between the lines, and I am afraid that you will do something stupid. Actually, I was paying attention to your actions yesterday, and I was afraid that you would take advantage of the heavy snow to make a move on Mr. Hamano, but you didn't make any changes, so I thought you didn't plan to do it at all, so I relaxed my vigilance. ”

"My statement?" asked Kikue Tanaka with a frown, "do you really know my identity?"

"One of your screen names, 'The Trick Boy', is the title he originally received. Doi Tucker said.

"So, that day you sent that email full of encouragement, did you send it on purpose?" Kikue Tanaka was a little angry.

"Yes. Doi Tucker said.

"Damn, since you know him, you should know about his condition, why do you do this?" exclaimed Kikue Tanaka in a low voice.

"No magician can guarantee that all performances will be successful, and at that time, he should be ready, whether it is for success or failure. Doi Tucker said.

"You," Kikue Tanaka was speechless with anger, and then sighed instead, "You're right, on the one hand, he plans to reveal his true identity to everyone after he succeeds, and he wants to write something like, 'I've finally succeeded, I don't know what everyone thinks of this magic trick', and attach his name to surprise everyone." On the other hand, he left me a box called 'Memories'. ”

"So you can't help but do it?" asked Doi Tucker.

"You said I did it, so what did you see?" asked Kikue Tanaka.

Doi Tucker said, "If the word guessing is the first magic you perform, then stepping on the snow without a trace is the second magic you perform. I guess Mr. Hamano wrapped the snow in his clothes, walked backwards from the woods, and filled in his footprints with the snow in his clothes as he went, and finally shook off the snow left in his clothes and put on his clothes. The snow was blown into the air and disappeared by the wind, leaving no trace on the ground, so that he appeared there without a trace. ”

"What a good commentary. Kikue Tanaka said.

"Your agreement should be that after you pretend to find him, you will let everyone go and watch his magic trick of stepping on the snow without a trace. "And the reason why he's going to freeze to death now, I think it's because he went to you before the show, and you must have given him water with sleeping pills under the pretext of drinking some water to warm his body, and then washed the container thoroughly or burned it directly in the boiling water, such as a paper cup." ”

Kikue Tanaka said, "You have to be clear, I'm not going to boil water myself. ”

"In the first magic trick, whoever gets the task of boiling water, you will replace him, and whoever gets the task of thinking about the show, Mr. Hamano will also replace him. It's easy, after all, it's just a game, if you can't replace it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect the progress of the second magic, but the relationship between you and your partners will be more likely to be discovered. "And the result of the first magic trick is in your hands, so you pretend to be unhappy and prepare the firewood, and Mr. Hamano also pretends to guess wrong, so as to make a foil for the next snow treading without a trace." The success of a half-magician, and the success of a magician, of course, the former works a little better. ”

"I have to say your guess is interesting. Kikue Tanaka said.

"Well, is this going to get you to turn yourself in?" asked Doi Tucker.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Doi, I'm not going to turn myself in. Kikue Tanaka said, then asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I've already said what I need to say, and the following things have nothing to do with me. "The little imp who eavesdropped on the door, tell the Maori detective what he just said, and tell Miss Sonoko for me, thank her for her kindness, and I will visit her in return." With that, he threw a smoke bomb on the ground.

The smoke cleared, and looking at the white figure gliding through the night sky, Kikue Tanaka exclaimed, "Kidd, the strange thief!"

On the balcony of the garden room, Conan, who had just come over, looked at Kidd who was far away, and muttered, "Sure enough, it's this guy, but I didn't expose you for the sake of the medicine you sent, you have to remember." ”

At this time, Lan's voice came from downstairs, "Conan, are you okay?"

"I'm here, Sister Lan. Conan replied, then took a piece of clothing and put it on. ……

Living room.

Seeing Kikue Tanaka and Conan coming down, Arakiyoshi asked, "What about Mr. Doi Ta?"

"Flew away. Kikue Tanaka said.

"Fly, fly away?" asked Naoko Kuroda.

"He's Kidd the Thief. Conan recounted what he had heard about the garden.

"What?" the garden froze, waiting until she knew that Kidd would be visiting, before she became happy again.

"Please, what's there to be happy about, he must have taken a fancy to your house. Lan said helplessly.

"So what does it matter? Yuan Zi smiled.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Susu Kiyori Lu went to answer the door, and it was Yamazaki and Midaiko who came, but they didn't come in, just said hello, and then set up a bonfire in the open space in front of the door, so Sonoko, Ran, and Conan came out.

After listening to the garden's story, Mei Daizi said in surprise: "No, that fat man is Kidd? ”

"I'm amazing. The garden smirked, and then sighed, "It's a pity I didn't see Lord Kidd in person." ”

At this time, the two cars stopped on the opposite side of the suspension bridge, and by the light of the headlights of the car behind them, Lan found that the car in front was the same as Fei Yingli's car, and it was Fei Yingli who got down from it, so he ran over happily, "Mom......!"

Moments later, in front of the campfire.

Ran and Sonoko tell Mori everything about the afternoon, and Conan relays the conversation between Kidd and Kikue Tanaka.

"No, the murderer is actually Miss Tanaka. Lan said with some surprise.

Yuanzi said, "Since Lord Kidd said it was her, it must be her." ”

Fei Yingli said: "Based on Kidd's words alone, it cannot be confirmed that Miss Tanaka is the murderer. ”

Maori scratched his head, "And as Kidd said, there's really no way to take Miss Tanaka." ”

"Let's have dinner first. Yamazaki said, "Let's talk about those things when the police come." ”

"Speaking of which, what are you roasting here?" Fei Yingli said, "These two should be rabbits, these two are pheasants and other birds, what is this big one?"

"It's a deer. Yamazaki said as he cut the flesh on it.

"I hunted a lot of things. Fei Yingli said with a smile.

Mei Daizi smiled: "There were originally four rabbits, but I ran into a wolf, which seems to be a rare breed, so I let it go and gave it two rabbits." ”

"You can't be talking about native wolves, are you?" asked Maori.

"It looks like it, I don't know. Mei Daiko said.

"It's a shame. Maori couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't think crookedly. Fei Yingli said angrily.

"Yes, yes. Maori said helplessly. ……

At around seven o'clock in the evening, the Twilight Police Department finally led the team to arrive.

While forensic officers were collecting evidence at the scene, Mori pulled the Twilight Police Department to the campfire and relayed to him what Conan had relayed Kidd's words.

"Kidd, the strange thief?" asked the Dusk Police Department, "I heard that he was going to the exhibition hall near the Eiffel Tower tonight, what seal did he steal, why is he here?"

"Maybe he knows Mr. Harui, aren't they all magicians?" said Maori, "he may have come to care about Mr. Harui's juniors." ”

"That's right. The Dusk Police Department said.

"Dusk Police, where is the exhibition hall?" asked Yuanzi with some excitement.

"I don't know, the exhibition hall doesn't seem to have any intention of announcing Kidd's incident to the public. The Dusk Police Department said.

Maori asked, "Police, what's going on with Mr. Nishiyama, can you find evidence against Miss Tanaka?"

"Aside from the message on the computer screen, no evidence has been found that Mr. Nishiyama was killed by him. "And if it was a murder, it would be an impossible crime—a murder in a closed room." ”

"What?" Maori was taken aback.

"And the killer can't be Miss Tanaka, she has a perfect alibi," said the Twilight Police Department, "because Mr. Nishiyama died around five o'clock in the morning today." ”

"Wouldn't it?" Maori was taken aback.

Fei Yingli asked, "What is the cause of death?"

"There was no traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. "The initial examination was caused by his own high blood pressure, and judging from the time Mr. Nishiyama's computer was turned on and the time he was on the Internet, Mr. Nishiyama may have spent more than 40 hours in front of the computer, causing his blood pressure to run out of control." ”

"Forty hours?" Maori asked, surprised, "What are you talking about, forty hours?"

"It's not just the Magic Lovers League, it's a chat room, it's others, and he's an online gamer. The Dusk Police Department said.

Maori asked, "Then, based on those chat logs, can you confirm that it is Miss Tanaka's identity and prove that she is the 'Shadow Mage'?"

"No, I've already received a report on the way here that three of them have unknown IP addresses, one is the 'Red Herring', the other is the 'Shadow Mage', and the other is the 'Trick Boy', and it is said that they used a means of covering up their addresses when they were online. "Now it seems that one is Kidd, one is Miss Tanaka, and the other is Mr. Harui." ”

Mori asked, "By the way, Miss Tanaka belongs to Mr. Harui?"

"Granddaughter. "On file, they live together. ”

"Police, is that going to be able to investigate Miss Tanaka's computer?" Mori said, "Look at that, oh, chat logs." ”

"The application for a search warrant has been handed in. The Dusk Police Department said.

At this time, the forensic personnel came to report and could go to the scene.

"Did you find anything?" asked the Dusk Police Department.

"Nothing was found. Forensic officer said.

"Then please investigate again, it is said that he walked there upside down from the woods. The Dusk Police Department said.

Later, the forensic personnel confirmed the incident, and after estimating the distance of their footsteps, they dug a number of snow holes, and found that the snow in the lower layer of one of the holes was trampled on, and that should have been soft, and then based on this distance, they estimated the distance of other footsteps, and finally found all the footprints.

"Looks like Kidd is right. Maori said.

"yes, it looks like the evidence has been destroyed as well. The Twilight Police Department sighed. ……

Soon after, the villa living room.

The Twilight Police Department announced the identity of Kikue Tanaka to Araki Yoshinori and others, and asked Miss Tanaka if she could go to the Metropolitan Police Department to assist in the investigation.

"No problem, I'm happy to help the police. Kikue Tanaka said.

After that, Fei Yingli drove Ran, Sonoko and Mei Daizi, and Maori drove Yamazaki and Conan, as well as everyone's luggage, and followed the police car. ……

The next day, Sunday, March 14th, morning, Kuroba's house.

The morning newspaper published the news about the success of the Nakamori Police Department against the monster thief Kidd in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Kuaito lay on the bed and read the morning paper, remembering the events of last night. After the treasure was in hand, he glided to a building according to the established route, but accidentally ran into a person, and then something strange happened, and finally although he won the battle, the treasure was forgotten there.

Thinking of yesterday when she was not paying attention to take her into the air, she was shocked with a beautiful and spectacular snowy scene, and the last sentence, "I have already seen through, in the bottom of your closed and indifferent heart, in fact, there are beautiful gems sleeping", seeing that her face turned red, the lethality must be great, Kaidou laughed proudly, I am really amazing.

Then thinking of those strange things, Kaito frowned again and decided to go to someone for advice, so he called Kuroba Chikage and told her about the strange situation at the time, "I couldn't move at all, and I saw the Red Lotus Hell. ”

"Oh, how did you get rid of it?" asked Kuroba Chikage.

"Snow, it's snow, I feel a chill on my face, and then I can move again. Kaito said, then asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"Simply put, you've been hypnotized. Kuroba Chikage said.

"Hypnosis?" Kaito asked confirmedly.

"Yes," Kuroba Chikage asked, "You woke up and saw a red light around you, right?"

"Yes, indeed. Kaito frowned and asked, "You mean that because the light is red, I can't help but think of the Red Lotus Hell." ”

"Not bad. Kuroba Chikage asked, "I guess you must have been very surprised to see that person there, right?"

"Yes. Kaito said, thinking to himself, how did she see through my plan?

Kuroba Chikage asked, "There must have been something else that shocked you, right?"

"Yes. Kaito said, thinking to himself that it was the most shocking thing that she would be there, and that she really knew who I was.

Black Feather Thousand Shadows asked, "Can't move, Red Lotus Hell, you've heard that person say both of these words, right?"

"Yes. Kaito said.

"That's right," said Kuroba Chikage, "that person must have set up the scene in advance, and then hypnotized you in one fell swoop while you were distracted, making you believe that you can't move, that you are in the Red Lotus Hell. ”

Kaito said, "No, you mean it's all my own fault, but how can I believe that I can't move? ”

"Ridiculous?" "Kuroba Chikage thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a simple example, there are two salesmen who come to the door, one is numb-faced and the other is white-faced, which one will you listen to more if you have to listen?"

"White-faced, of course. Kaito said.

That means you subconsciously believe in him more. "The salesman being able to sell a product to someone he doesn't know is, in a way, hypnotic." ”

"So, the person who can sell the comb to the bald man is a hypnotist?" Kaito asked rhetorically.

"Isn't that ridiculous? But you can only be called a master, and the guy you meet is called a master. Kuroba Chikage asked, "Who is that man, do you know why he came to you?"

"Well, not an enemy anyway. Kaito said, while thinking to himself, did I tell you that she only went to eat chocolate for me to eat chocolate, and swore that she would only eat the chocolate she made in the future, and that you would not laugh to death, absolutely, absolutely not to tell you. But speaking of which, I don't seem to have eaten Qingzi's chocolate this year, I calculated, it doesn't seem to be, by the way, I remember in her school bag, decided, I'll take it over tomorrow and eat it, and I've only put a month's worth of chocolate, and I shouldn't have a stomachache if I eat it.

"Hey, hey......" shouted Kuroba Chikage, "boy, what are you doing?

"Ah, I'm sorry," Kaito came back to his senses, "I was so tired last night that I just fell asleep. Then he said, "What a escape, I won the war." ”

"Win the war? Since you don't want to say it, forget it. "You remember, if you run into his home field again, you must keep your poker face, he can't touch the reality of your mood, and he can't use suitable words to break through your heart and lead you away." ”

"Poker face? I see. Kaito said.

"Also, you have to be careful of one kind of person, that is, a powerful person. Kuroba Chikage said, "That kind of person can break into your heart without words. ”

"Momentum?" asked with a smile, "Is there a novel like this in the United States?"

"Little fool, when you were a child, your father had a straight face, and you automatically quieted down. Kuroba Chikage laughed, "Why is that? not because you're intimidated by his momentum. ”

"Uh," Kaito said after a moment's thought, "there is some truth to that. ”

"Alright, so be it. Kuroba Chikage said, "By the way, that matter should be done more quickly." ”

"I know, I'm just waiting for that egg exhibition. Kaito laughed, "Goodbye, Miss Chikage." ”

"Goodbye, boy, get some rest. Kuroba Chikage said. ……
