"Everyone! Can you tell me about this shadow mage? Is he the same person who is coming to the meeting today? ”

"Yes! But he didn't come! As for what the Shadow Mage said, it has to be traced back to half a year ago, when everyone was happily talking about the previous escape show in the group, hoping that someone would come out to perform again! As a result, Master Harui had an accident last month! Then the Shadow Mage said that! I immediately asked Mr. Nishiyama to see if there was anyone suspected of Mr. Harii participating in the discussion half a year ago, but how could the virtual dating platform of the Internet allow you to investigate the specific situation of the person on the other side, I had no choice but to discuss with Mr. Nishiyama to hold this party to see who could provide information, but I didn't want to ......"

"I see? What about this shadow mage? Has he been in this group all the time? ”

"Nope! Shadow Mages have only recently joined this alliance! Hearing Yuichi's inquiry, Araki told everything he knew.

"Did you join recently?"

Sneaking a glance at Takakue Tanaka, who was still pondering there, he was already convinced that this shadow mage might be her Yuichi lowered his head and pondered again, he had to find the clues in the murder that Takakue Tanaka had been planning for a long time, and use evidence to control this woman who killed because of anger.

The first thing to debunk is the magic trick of Riya Hamano, although Sonoko and others think it's magical, but if there is an internal response before this magic show, then this magic trick is not magical at all.

When Takakue Tanaka, who is a childcare, handed the pen to the garden, the ballpoint pen in her hand had already been pressed back by her, so that it didn't matter what mark the garden drew on which note, because the specific person had already secretly drawn on the back of the note when Takakue Tanaka wrote her name. In other words, who is going to do what is discussed between Riya Hamano and Takakue Tanaka before. Such! Toshiya Hamano was able to perform this prophetic magic.

And the consternation and confusion after the failure of the magic performance in the end can be explained.

This is a deliberate trick by Takakue Tanaka, and Toshiya Hamano, who feels that his magic performance has failed, naturally wants to ask his partner Takakue Tanaka to understand, so Tanaka, who came to visit suddenly, naturally entered his room without his defense, and then was strangled to death.

If the scene of the crime was Riya Hamano's room, then there should be some evidence left, right?

Thinking of this, Yuichi hurriedly went to Hamano Riya's room to check, and Takakue Tanaka, who felt that things were a little troublesome, sat in the living room for a while and left the living room under the pretext that he was cold and wanted to get his clothes.

Xiaolan, who was taking care of Conan who was swaying and swaying because of a cold and snowing, and eventually became a fever, also hurriedly got up after hearing Takakue Tanaka's proposal, saying that she wanted to go up and find a warm dress for Conan. And seeing that Xiaolan was going upstairs, the garden immediately signed up for this upstairs group, and under the psychological effect that the shadow mage may still be hiding in the villa, several people snuggled up to each other and cautiously went to the room on the second floor.

Although already careful! But Takakue Tanaka was still taking her clothes and was almost shot by a crossbow arrow that appeared out of nowhere.

Yuichi and the others, who heard their screams, also rushed over, and after some inquiry, their eyes were again drawn to the jungle outside the villa.

"Damn! Is this shadow mage really going to kill us all to be willing? That's crazy, isn't it? ”

"That's it! This bastard can't let him mess around anymore no matter what! We can't afford to be so passive anymore! Let's look in the woods! You can always find him! When the time comes, give him another unforgettable lesson! ”

As several people chattered, several people who had already been aroused in fear turned around and left the second floor, walking in the direction of the woods where the crossbow arrows came.

"Is this a mechanism set up to clear suspicion because I am afraid that I will suspect her? Interesting! As long as you do more, the more flaws you will have, I want to see what other medicine you can sell in this gourd! ”

"Miss Tanaka! It's too dangerous! Be careful! As Takahisa Tanaka, who ran out of the villa first, rushed into the woods without hesitation, Xiaolan and the others who followed her couldn't help but shout and remind her.

But Takakue Tanaka, who was originally calm, stood in the woods and yelled as if he had been stimulated by something, "I don't know who you are, and where are you hiding now!" But if there's a kind of you'll get out! Don't sneak around! ”

"Miss Tanaka, don't you ...... Hey? How could there be so many footprints in the woods? What are these footprints? ”

"Eh!" Before Araki Yoshinori and the others could figure out where these footprints came from, Takakue Tanaka, who was walking in front, suddenly slipped and sat on the ground.

"Miss Tanaka! It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

"It's okay! Xiaolan! Thank you! ”

"Huh? What is that? Oh, my God! Crossbow! The murderer is indeed someone other than us! That's great! Miss Tanaka wasn't hurt either, and we seized his murder weapon before he plotted against another person! Now I'm not afraid that he will hurt us again, is it true that there are too many of us who are so scared that he hurriedly threw away the murder weapon and slipped away? ”

Just when Xiaolan helped Takunaka to get up, Arayoshi, who was following behind, suddenly made a new discovery.

"Don't move! Maybe there are fingerprints of the murderer on this crossbow, and the discovery of the crossbow here does not rule out that the murderer is among us, after all, some timing devices can also disguise the scene as someone else's shot to hide the identity of the murderer! I'm a police officer, so let the professional come if it's professional! Just as Araki was about to pick up the crossbow on the ground, Yuichi who followed him immediately stopped his stupid actions.

After taking out the rubber gloves that he usually carried in his pocket, he slowly picked up the crossbow and looked at the moonlight.

"Looks like there are really fingerprints! Now it's good! Wait and so on, let's compare the fingerprints, as long as there are no fingerprints of any of us on this crossbow, then it can be proved that this murderer is indeed outside of us, so that as long as we guard the villa and wait until dawn tomorrow, we are not afraid of where else he can escape! ”

Excitedly, he took out the magnifying glass in his pocket and looked at the crossbow carefully, and Yuichi, who found some fingerprints, couldn't help but roar excitedly.

But is it really someone other than them? Takakue Tanaka, who was originally afraid that Yuichi would doubt himself and started this plan to get rid of suspicion, was eager to slap herself hard at the moment, and her behavior made her completely passive, why is there a nosy damn policeman at this party, and it is also a troublesome policeman who is a little prickly, and when he gets his fingerprints for a while, can he still escape? But there's nothing to be sorry for, the two bastards who spoke coldly and ridiculed when Grandpa's bones were not cold are dead, what are you afraid of when your revenge has been avenged? There is nothing to resent about ending your life like this.

Just after Takahisae Tanaka followed everyone back to the villa hall with all her heart, the fingerprint comparison method that was agreed by the majority of people gradually began.
