"It's because Tanaka was attacked, and we found a lost crossbow bolt in the snow outside. Araki briefly introduced the situation just now: "Tanaka and the garden were frightened. ”

"That's right, that shadow mage is a madman. Seeing the familiar and very safe officer, Officer Matsuda, the most trusted officer of the Metropolitan Police Department, became bold and spoke fiercely: "When he was in the bathroom, he shot me with an arrow. Officer Matsuda, you must catch him and give him a good look. ”

"Crossbow?" Matsuda said thoughtfully, "Can you let me take a look?" uh, wait a minute, I haven't finished asking yet. The deceased, isn't it, can you tell me the circumstances of when Mr. Hamano's body was found?"

"Didn't Officer Matsuda see Mr. Hamano's situation?" Tanaka said coldly, "What else is there to say. ”

"Absolutely. Matsuda didn't hear Tanaka's displeasure: "For example, who Hamano was with before lying on the cold ice and snow, and what words he said, these are all clues." ”

"Mr. Hamano was alone in his room. The garden bowed his head and said, "It's all because of me, and it's all my fault."

After listening to the garden's crying and crying, Matsuda understood what had happened. A magic show that makes Hamano the party minister, and then he goes back to the house alone until his body is discovered.

Matsuda muttered, "What kind of magic?" Anyway, there was something wrong with the magic that had thrown him out of the group. As long as you understand the behind this magic trick, you will understand the purpose of the prisoner, and even find the prisoner.

"It was Miss Tanaka who wrote our names on a piece of paper, and then I blindfolded and made a mark, and Mr. Hamano guessed whose name was behind each mark. Sonoko said in frustration, "If I hadn't chosen Mr. Hamano," judging from the dried tears on her face, it was obvious that she had cried over this matter.

"Don't blame yourself, because it's not sure that the target of the prisoner is Hamano, and this can happen to whoever you choose. Didn't Miss Tanaka just be attacked?" Matsuda comforted Sonoko, and then asked, "Since Hamano is leading this magic trick, then is it his proposal?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Matsuda slowly grasped the context. Are the only two people who come into contact with the paper blindfolded, Sonoko and Tanaka?

"Speaking of which. At this time, Doi Ta suddenly said, "Mr. Hamano, this magic trick is the most problematic. Originally, he said that I was the candidate for the party minister, but his name was on the note, and he was still very confused about it. ”

This person is really not simple, he has long seen the trick of this magic trick? It is different from those half-baked so-called enthusiasts. Noticing that Matsuda was looking at him, Doi Tata smiled innocently.

"Now that you know the basics, who is he, why doesn't anyone think he's a shadow mage?" Matsuda gestured to the tall and thin servant.

"His name is Sugama Kiyoriro, and I asked him to help. I'm going to be a bit busy with this meeting alone. The master, Araki, immediately explained: "I grew up watching him, and he will definitely not be a shadow mage." ”

Matsuda nodded: "So what are you all doing after Hamano returns to the house?"

"Hey, are you suspicious of us?" Tanaka asked angrily.

"I don't want to doubt you, but I want to prove your innocence. Matsuda smiled disappreliantly, and then looked at Tanaka meaningfully: "Some things are well explained. ”

"I don't have much to say. Tanaka tilted his head to the side: "I was boiling water with firewood. ”

"I went to the warehouse to get the wine. Arakinoshi, who was standing next to Tanaka, saw Matsuda's eyes on him and immediately said.

"Where's Doi Tower?" Matsuda was the first of the rest to ask him.

"Miss Kuroda and I set up the party dishes in the dining room. Doi Tata looked at Kuroda, "That's right, is it?" ”

"Well, I'll go to the kitchen to help out with Scythe. Kuroda said.

"Yes, Mr. Ara asked me to prepare some snacks. Sugama immediately responded.

"After that, Doi Tower, where did you go?" Matsuda asked again.

"After that, I went back inside and got some biscuits. Doi Ta said with a smile.

"It's basically clear. Matsuda turned back to Ara Yoshinori and said, "Mr. Ara, how long did it take you to get the sake?"

"About seven or eight minutes. Abaya thought for a moment and replied.

"That's probably the time for me. Tanaka noticed that Matsuda looked at him and immediately said.

"Well, does it take that long to get the sake?" Matsuda turned back to Arakinori.

"I went back to my room to get the keys because I forgot to put the warehouse on a new lock. Absurdity said.

"Well, let's go to the warehouse and have a look. Matsuda glanced at everyone in the room, "Everyone go." ”

"Why do I want to go with you? Tanaka said dissatisfiedly, "Now there may be someone outside who is going to attack us at any time, that madman called the Hidden Mage." ”

"No, there won't be anyone outside. Matsuda saw that they didn't believe it: "I can assure you that at least I went around the outside three times without finding any trace of anyone hiding nearby." ”

Walking to the door of the warehouse, Matsuda saw three locks hanging on the door at a glance: "How can there be so many locks?"

"That's to prevent thieves, there have been thieves here lately, and the most valuable thing I have here is probably the red wine inside. Absurdity explains.

"So, where is that?" Matsuda pointed to the side door of the villa, "There are a lot of footprints on the ground. ”

"It was the back door of the kitchen. Araki said, "I took them for a walk here in the afternoon." ”

"Well, let's go to the place where the water is boiled. Matsuda took a step back and motioned for Araki to lead the way.

Seeing that there was no snow on the top of the shed where the water was boiling because of the steam, he pointed to the window not far from the top of the shed: "Where's the window?"

"That's the hallway on the second floor. Absurdity said.

"From there, you can get to Hamano's room. Matsuda pointed.

"Really?" Tanaka raised an eyebrow, "I've been to the bathroom two or three times to check the water temperature, and if someone jumped on it at that time, I don't know." ”

"Now can I go and take a look at the crossbow you picked up?" Matsuda didn't go to argue with Tanaka.

Returning to the villa again, Matsuda played with the crossbow: "I already know the general situation, and I have also locked the scope of the prisoner. Now all you have to do is go back to the house and sleep, and I'll talk to the prisoners. ”

"Is the murderer really among us?" Tanaka immediately questioned, "And what happened to that arrow that came into my house from the outside?"

"yes, and how did Mr. Hamano get moved to the snow?" Ms. Kuroda said.

"You will know these things, but not now. Matsuda spread his hands out, "I just want to talk to her now, please give me a little time and space, okay? I will ensure your safety, and at the same time, I don't believe that she will be a heinous bad person." ”

After sending everyone back to his house, Matsuda did not go directly to find the murderer, but sat in the living room and waited quietly.

The door was pushed open, and Conan came in from the outside: "Where are they?"

"Back to the room. Matsuda Duo Conan beckoned: "I told them that I would talk to the prisoner, but if I didn't completely crack her methods, then she must have a fluke mentality." ”

"So you're waiting for me?" Conan's eyes narrowed.

"Of course. Matsuda rightly said, "You've been here since the beginning, and you know more about the situation than I do, so since you've made some gains, let's share it." What methods did the prisoners use to give the illusion that they were attacking from the outside?"

"You don't understand that?" Conan asked.

Matsuda nodded.

"That's all you haven't figured out?" Conan asked.

Matsuda still nodded.

"Then why are you sitting here and not going out to find clues!?" Conan began to attack.

"Isn't it you?" Matsuda countered Conan flatly: "Since you have first-hand information, why am I going to be frozen? Now tell me what you find." ”

After the knock on the door, Matsuda pushed the door straight in.

"I knew the door was unlocked, so I came in without permission. Matsuda pretended to be polite and sat down in front of Takakue Tanaka.

"It seems that Officer Matsuda thinks I'm a murderer. Tanaka said calmly, contrary to the fierce attitude outside.

Matsuda didn't speak, but just drew an arrow, and at the end of the arrow there was a coiled arrow.

"What is this?" asked Tanaka knowingly.

"Do you need me to explain the incredible method of committing the crime?" Matsuda said lightly, "I found it before I entered the house." ”

Then Matsuda told the modus operandi of this time, including the method of Hamano's magic show, and the method of Tanaka who Conan deduced to pretend that someone was attacking him outside.

"So you can prove that I did it?" Tanaka didn't panic: "What evidence do you have to prove that everything you said is true, everything you say was done by me?"

"If you wanted proof, it wouldn't be me. Matsuda looked into Tanaka's eyes and said seriously, "I don't think you will be a bad person, and you should not be reduced to killing." ”

"Hey, but now you're trying to arrest me for murder. Tanaka sneered.

"Killing people has always been a painful thing, you have borne this kind of pain, do you want to be tortured by it forever?" mentioned killing, Matsuda's eyes were gloomy: "This kind of pain should not have belonged to you." ”

"I believe that this pain will also be transmitted to Khaloyif's heart. Matsuda muttered in a low voice, "If he's in heaven." ”

"I've read Xishanwu's chat history, and I know that you are Khaloif's granddaughter. Matsuda's voice was strange: "It's your grandfather himself who decided to perform the escape magic, you shouldn't be the kind of person who gets angry with others." ”

"Yes? You really believe me. For the first time, Tanaka bowed his head to Matsuda: "I know that it was grandpa's decision, but I can't tolerate the merciless mockery of the two of them after grandpa's death." ”

After admitting his crime and telling the depression buried in his heart, Tanaka raised his head: "You are really good at playing the emotional card, if I don't admit it, what can you do?"

"Who knows. Matsuda chuckled and didn't answer.

There is only a short time of eight minutes, going back and forth, killing people, and dealing with the scene, Tanaka can't be all-encompassing in such a hurry, as long as the forensic class carefully investigates, he will definitely find conclusive evidence, after all, Tanaka is not a professional person like Matsuda.

"If you hadn't jumped here, maybe my life would have been different. Tanaka looked at Matsuda for the first time: "Thank you, hot-blooded officer." ”

If Matsuda hadn't been there, what would have happened to her life if she had escaped the police investigation? Walking on thin ice every day and becoming a trembling little woman? Looking up to a strong woman who could live without guilt after killing two lives in succession?

No matter what, it's impossible to go back to the way it was. When Tanaka said the words "thank you" to Matsuda, perhaps she thought that this was the best ending.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you have me or not, this path is your own choice. Matsuda looked over Tanaka: "Moreover, I am not the only one who has seen the truth. ”

Tanaka turned his head and followed Matsuda's gaze and suddenly saw a white light piercing the night sky.

Kidd the Thief!?

PS: I really didn't expect this about skydiving. And what Brother Gentleman said actually represents my point of view, but I don't want to give up the role of Smirno to make him transform in the next case. Let him socialize with the characters in the plot, such as falling in love.
