Chapter 27: The Murder of a Magician (3)
The dinner party for the magic lovers was very rich, but the people ate very badly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because Conan, who was supposed to have left, actually returned to the villa again, and he had a severe cold, and he brought such a sentence before he fell into a coma: "Lan... Get out of here. ”
No one cares about details like "Conan's name for Xiaolan".
The villa's only access to the outside world, the suspension bridge that spanned the valley, had been burned.
The telephone line in the villa was also cut off.
In addition, the location of this villa is very remote, and there is no mobile phone signal at all.
-- The people have lost all means of being able to communicate with the outside world.
In other words, at this moment, everyone is trapped in this villa, completely isolated from the outside world.
Such a plot is a typical "Blizzard Villa" model in detective novels.
As the name suggests: a blizzard that cuts off all modes of travel, a lonely mountain village in a sparsely populated area, and a crowd of people trapped in the mountain village.
Then, perhaps, the murderous plan started by the author of all this.
In response to such an event, there are two solutions to Chengcheng:
The first is to surround yourself with people you can fully trust, prevent attacks from others, and wait for help from the outside world.
The second is to deal with everyone except yourself before your own life is threatened.
Of course, Chengshi doesn't use the two methods listed above at all here, because the murderer this time is not so extreme and crazy.
All she wanted to kill were the two members of the Forum who indirectly led to her grandfather's death and insulted her after his death.
Even in the world before Chengshi crossed over, there were many people who believed that they could speak freely on the virtual network and not be responsible. And in the end, it paid a big or small price for it.
……
After taking medicine for Conan, Chengshi stayed by Conan's bedside. He looked out the window on his left, the white blizzard that seemed to cut off everything, and was slightly distracted.
"I can't tell you're a doctor." Doi Tucker sighed as he stood beside Serumi.
Sungmi glanced at Doi Tucker Tree, but didn't speak.
When Xiaolan and Yuan Zi walked out of the room, and only Chengshi, Doi Tucker and Conan were left in the room, Chengshi spoke: "You want to say... Miss Tanaka, she still did it, right? ”
"Well, that's right... It's gone too far, trapping all of us here. It's a good thing the Escape King and the Shadow Mage didn't come to the party, otherwise they would have been as scared as we were. ”
Although the conversation between those people and Miss Tanaka's grandfather gave him the idea of performing an escape magic show again, he was unfortunately killed. But Miss Tanaka did this, and it was still a little too much. ”
The former is one of the two who make a sarcasm about Miss Tanaka's grandfather, and the latter is Miss Tanaka's forum ID.
"Maybe it's not that he didn't come to the party, but that he didn't have the means to come."
Doi Tucker caught the deep meaning of Chengshi's words, and then his eyes widened: "What? You mean..."
"Escape... Dawang Xishanwu was found dead by the police in his own home. At this moment, Conan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, his voice still sounding weak, "And on his personal computer screen, there is still a passage left in the phrase 'one has been solved, Shadow Mage remains.'" ”
……
"What!?"
"The Escape King was killed by the Shadow Mage!? He... Why did he do it? ”
"Is it the Shadow Mage who is trapped here and what the hell is he trying to do? Isn't it going to kill us all......"
After hearing the news from Conan's mouth, the magic lovers in the living room reacted in anger and panic.
"By the way, Hamano, why hasn't he come down yet?" Absurd said suddenly.
Could it be that ...
As if realizing something, everyone ran to Mr. Hamano's room on the second floor.
The door to Hamano's room was unlocked, and when they pushed it open, they found that the furniture in the room showed no signs of messiness. The floor-to-ceiling window directly opposite the door was wide open, and the cold wind that stinged the skin blew in through the window, which made the anxiety and tension in everyone's hearts even worse.
Conan ran quickly to the ledge, looking straight below the ledge.
Mr. Hamano who was pushed off the windowsill was not found...
Conan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that Xiaolan's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Conan turned his head and found that Ran's face was full of horror, and he looked in the direction of Ran's trembling fingers.
I saw that Mr. Hamano was lying on his back on the snow more than ten meters away from the villa. There was no trace of footsteps or dragging on the snowy surface around him, as if some kind of treacherous force had moved Mr. Hamano from the house to the snow nearly twenty meters away.
This... How can it be...
In addition to the rapid breathing of everyone, only the howling cold wind remained.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
……
My name is Kuroba Kaito, and I'm a regular high school student who is currently attending Ekoda High School in Tokyo. Oh yes, and other than that, I'm a magician.
Chatting in magic enthusiast forums in the network is one of my few hobbies.
Whenever I see someone on the forum post something like "I love the magician Kuroba Thief", I feel a joy from the bottom of my heart.
This great magician is my deceased father.
Just the other day, I met an interesting person in the League of Magic Lovers. His forum ID is called "Moon and L", and I can't understand the meaning of his name.
Whenever I asked him about this, he would always say something like "This is a pair of super loving CPs", "Xiaohong, you are really too young, too simple Tucson is broken", "Young people you need to enrich your experience, don't always want to make some big news" and so on.
To be honest, I was shocked to see him say "big news" on the screen - because the news of my stealing of the Dark Star last week had spanned the front page of the next day's paper.
But after thinking about it, I was relieved, how could he know my other identity, the strange thief Kidd was extremely mysterious in the eyes of everyone.
He probably just stumbled into it by mistake... Thinking of this, I shook my head with some amusement.
In the following days, something unusual happened in the League of Magic Lovers.
Deceive the Boy, this is the forum name of a senior magician who died unexpectedly while performing escape magic a few days ago. However, in the past few days, it has actually started to be active in the forum again.
Skeptical, I signed up for the next meeting. When I learned that "Moon and L" would also participate in this offline party, I was a little excited, and I finally got to meet this interesting person.
Just this morning, I met "Moon and L", and he is such a beautiful person. Although I know that the word "pretty" is not appropriate to describe a man, it is just right to use it for him.
Through talking to him, I found out that he was a mysterious and intelligent person. Like me, he also discovered the anomaly of "cheating the boy". However, my gut told me that he had come to this meeting for other purposes.
So, what is his other purpose, and why does he vaguely feel that it has something to do with me......
