Conan looked at Shiraishi who was asleep, his eyes complicated.

Finally, there was a time when I was able to start reasoning directly without the anesthetic needle, but ......

I don't have any clues.

Conan checked the floor where the clown magician disappeared and found no problems, and when the man disappeared, the mask and clothes fell off, and there was no mechanism on these things.

It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.

The keyword "disappearing out of thin air" reminded Conan of two people - Kidd and the black cat.

But he didn't deal with Kidd many times, and the only time he saw it "disappear into thin air" was one time, and afterwards, he quickly figured out the magic tricks Kidd used.

But how the black cat disappeared, Conan still has no clue, just like the clown magician who disappeared this time.

To sum up, the black cat should have been the biggest suspect in Conan's heart.

But while the clown magician was talking to reporters and the melon-eating crowd, the black cat was also sitting behind them.

Conan asked people who had spoken to the clown magician, and judging by the topics they had exchanged, both sides were real people.

So, the clown is really someone else......

Conan's reasoning usually begins after all the modus operandi has been figured out and evidence has been found.

Unless he has the confidence to produce the evidence, or feels that the evidence is gone, this is basically the process.

But this time, not to mention the evidence, Conan hasn't even figured out the modus operandi.

At this time, he really wants to find someone to exchange ideas, such as his father, such as the very familiar black-skinned detective in Osaka, and then Shiraishi.

However, it's a pity that Shiraishi, the only one present, doesn't seem to be in very good shape today.

In addition to being very awake on the way here, he began to sleep not long after entering the magic hall, and probably because of the riot on the way, he barely woke up for a while, and just found a missing old man, and fell asleep again.

Conan could only think silently alone.

After thinking for a while, he sighed.

…… Let's wait for the police to test the fallen masks and the hair on the clothes, etc., and then speculate further.

……

Moriran and Sonoko Suzuki have seen quite a few homicides. This time, although they were shocked, their mood quickly returned to calm.

There were so many people at the magic show that it was impossible to keep it all the time. After registering the addresses and phone numbers of those present, the police sent the spectators home.

Shiraishi pretended to be woken up by the police in charge of registration, he wrote down his address, and the four of them walked out of the magic hall together.

Suzuki Sonoko was in a different direction from their house, and after waving goodbye with tears, she turned around and left three times in a hurry.

Maoriran originally planned to take Conan and take the train with Shiraishi.

But while waiting for the bus, she answered a phone call.

- Kogoro Mori said he wasn't going home for dinner tonight because the pretty lady in the nightclub gave him a voucher for a high-end restaurant.

Mao Lilan's face was full of black anger when he heard it - it doesn't matter if he eats alone behind her back, but he goes on a late-night date with a behind her back, absolutely not!

Mori Kogoro hasn't divorced yet, he's just temporarily separating!

In a gentle and sweet tone, she inquired about the location of Maori Kogoro's dinner, and then hung up the phone with a sneer, ready to kill and crush her father's peach blossoms.

Before leaving, Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something and looked back at Shiraishi.

…… At such a late hour, what if Brother Shiraishi fell asleep on the way home and was picked up by someone who shared his hobby in the garden.

After thinking about it for a while, Maolilan felt that it would not work.

However, the person in question, Shiraishi, didn't seem to care, and when she was distracted, the caring neighbor had already seen that something was wrong with her, got on the tram himself, and then waved at her through the window.

Mao Lilan wants to send Shiraishi home, and he wants to go to the restaurant.

Conan looked at her tangled and sad look, and pulled her: "Let's go to have a big dinner too, Brother Shiraishi probably came with his friends." ”

"Huh?" Maolilan suspected that Conan had been blinded by the "feast".

Aren't they the friends who came with Shiraishi?

…… Wrong. Conan has always been a good boy, he should not be bought by big meals, and he has always been very observant.

Could it be that the garden just pretended to go home, but in fact ran forward for a stop and mixed into the bus just now, waiting to pick up people?

The more Maorilan thought about it, the more it felt likely.

But the bus had already left, and no matter what the outcome, she didn't have time to get on it.

Mori Lan could only suppress his faintly aching conscience, pull Conan, and go with him to the high-end restaurant where Mori Kogoro was.

……

The next day, Shiraishi was lying in bed reading the new one-liner book from the new name Kahori, when he suddenly felt the light and shadow on the curtain flicker—someone passed by the side of his house.

That was the way to the Maori Detective Agency.

It's a weekday, Mori Ran and Conan are both in school, Mori Kogoro slipped to the street to play mahjong, and there should be no one in the office.

A moment later, the faint doorbell rang, and sure enough, no one opened the door.

The visitor waited for a while, sighed in disappointment, and went downstairs to leave.

Shiraishi's eyes stopped at reasoning, and his ears kept listening to the movement outside.

Just as the man passed by his window again, Shiraishi heard the tone of the mission.

He put down the book and turned on the light screen, glanced at the taskbar, and saw that there was a message hanging inside:

[Save the target xN of the unemployed taster who was killed and went crazy]

“……”N？

Too many people don't show up? Still can't determine the exact number of people, so just fill in a letter to fool around?

Shiraishi's eyes fell on the word "taster", and he vaguely thought of a case.

In that case, the murderer did target a lot of people......

Remembering the people who had passed by his window twice just now, Shiraishi turned on his mask, switched into the form of a cat, took the Poké Ball in the air, and slipped out the door.

After summoning the butterfly ninja, you don't have to hide your body every time.

Looking at it this way, although this employee is very good at wasting money, he actually has a lot of advantages.

Shiraishi walked to the door, looked left and right, and soon saw a man in an old coat, standing not far away, talking to another man in a suit and leather shoes.

Sneaking around and eavesdropping for a while, based on the content of their conversation, Shiraishi was completely sure which case it was.

- Ten years ago, when Kogoro Mori was a police officer, he caught a prisoner who was released from prison today.

During the days of squatting in the prison cell, Murakami Abbot seriously reflected and felt that Maori Kogoro was actually his benefactor, so after he was released from prison, he planned to take a look at the resigned police officer first.

Seeing that Mori Kogoro was not at home, Murakami left disappointed, ready to find a place to live first, then try to find a job, and come back to visit in two days.

But when he got out into the street, a man stopped him.

In Murakami's eyes, he was a good man with a gentle face and a warm and talkative face.

But Shiraishi remembered that it was the mad taster who stopped him.
