Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Magic Club
At seven o'clock in the evening, the breeze brings a burst of coolness.
Outside a luxurious mansion, there were many vehicles parked, and more people walked in, dressed in gorgeous clothes and chatting eloquently.
They all share a common identity.
Magic lovers.....
Today is a different day for these people, it is the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the club by the world-renowned magician Cao Jin.
He is a well-known performing artist, so many well-known people in society have come to visit.
At this time, a Maybach was slowly approaching in the distance.
The door opened, and a slender figure appeared in front of everyone, a well-tailored charcoal gray suit, a spotless cotton white shirt and a light blue tie that made him look even more sleek.
There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel good.
Immediately after, the gentleman pulled open the rear door.
The first thing that catches your eye is the pair of beautiful legs that are as white and slender as jade.
Slowly move your gaze upward.
The pure white off-the-shoulder long dress, the delicate collarbone looms, the hair is braided into a gorgeous and complex long braid, gentle and pleasant, and the hem of the skirt is arc from high to low, slightly puffy, but highlighting the concave and convex curves.
She seemed a little nervous, like she was wearing an evening dress for the first time.
After all, he has always been a capable police uniform in normal times.
The two are Bai Cheng and Luo Xi, who received an invitation to attend the 10th anniversary of the magician Cao Jin's club.
"I ..... Isn't it nice for me to look like this? ”
Luo Xi's white cheeks were crimson at this time, and he looked around timidly, it was the first time he had worn clothes like this.
"No, it's very good-looking."
Looking at this scene, the corners of Bai Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said with some meaning.
"Let's go."
He smiled, took the other person's hand, and entered the mansion.
.......
"Holy! Xixi is the most beautiful, the north and the south!! ”
"Love, love, is this my goddess?"
"It's sour, it's sour, the white dog is dead!!"
"Do you think, will you, I mean, there is a possibility that the white god is also quite handsome."
"It can be seen from the scene that the funds are sufficient, the group has evolved more, and there is a heart."
"Magic? It's kind of interesting, but I'm called the master of cracking, the little prince who kills you, and I will debunk your tricks in minutes. ”
"According to the theme, you can get the name of this case - magic murder."
"Magic is about making the impossible possible, and it's a bit of an expectation."
Everyone in the live broadcast room is ready to experience a wonderful magic show.
Below, the curtain slowly opened......
.........
Wall lamps stand on both sides of the wall, illuminating the entire hall, and the walls are covered with precious paintings, and a bright red patterned wool carpet leads to the outside.
An intricately carved rectangular dining table sits in the center, covered with a crisp white tablecloth, and several silver-plated dining lamps are evenly spaced.
The food had already been prepared, and the flames were constantly jumping and burning, giving off a thick aroma.
More than a dozen well-trained staff shuttled through the crowd to serve.
At the same time, the guests gathered in groups to discuss today's topic.
- Magic.
Several magicians also performed on the sidelines, which caused a burst of exclamations from time to time.
But in the center of the banquet hall, there was a person who attracted attention.
"Are you ready?"
"Now the show begins......"
"Please don't distract yourself."
A young and handsome magician stood in the center of the stage in a suit and nodded confidently to the surrounding audience.
Immediately, a cigarette was lit.
A soft smoke rises and then slowly dissipates.
But soon something even more jaw-dropping happened.
I saw that the lighted cigarette was out of the magician's hand and slowly suspended in the air.
With the movement of his palms, he rose with him.
How did he do it?
How is this possible?
"Bang Bang Bang!!"
There was a round of applause.
This scene obviously cannot happen under normal physical laws, and the mystery of magic lies in it.
"How did he do it?"
After watching the whole process, Luo Xi's beautiful eyes widened and he looked extremely surprised.
As a police officer, he never believed in superpowers, but he still unconsciously felt magical.
"It's very simple, just a thin thread that is not easy to detect."
Bai Cheng on the side said with a smile, and briefly explained the principle of this magic trick.
The magician on stage attaches the cigarette to the thin thread and engages it with the wrist, wraps it around the neck, and when it is released, it is naturally pulled by the thin thread and suspended in the air.
Immediately after that, the movement of the wrist will also rise with the movement of the cigarette.
In fact, sometimes the truth is so simple that you can even feel incredulous when you debunk it.
Because you can do it easily too.
Immediately, the high-profile magician on the stage performed several simple magic tricks again, which also aroused the cheers of the people around him.
His name is Guo Yan, and this person is a rising star in the magic world who has recently attracted a lot of attention, and he is also the apprentice of the magic master Cao Jin.
In a harmonious and lively atmosphere, the banquet continued.
Bai Cheng and Luo Xi looked at the magic leisurely, and in the casual eye contact, there was some ambiguity in the atmosphere.
However, just then, an untimely voice rang out.
"Hello, is this Mr. Hakujo?"
"My name is Zhou Shutong, and I'm your fan."
The voice was soft, like a feather tapping lightly on the heart.
At the same time, a magnificent red color comes into view.
She was wearing a romantic bohemian style dress, the fiery red color, but not gaudy, the skirt was layered with a hollow pattern, and the red color contrasted with the white legs, slender and straight, and the moving curves were completely outlined.
Inadvertently, gently brushing the corners of her lips, her eyes seem to be secretly sending autumn waves, affectionate, and her eyes are like silk, and the eye waves are flowing, revealing a charming charm, which seems to be natural in her.
Anyone who looks at it will feel that this is a peerless stunner.
"Humph!"
Suddenly, Luo Xi's cold and pleasant voice sounded on the side, his hands were wrapped around his chest, and he seemed to want to show his slender posture as well, and his whole temperament changed again, which was completely different from the cowardly appearance just now.
Turned back into the heroic policewoman.
One is as charming as a rose, and the other is as cold as snow.
The two looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a kind smile,
But a touch of murder slowly emerged.
........
Just as the atmosphere gradually reached an impasse, a violent applause attracted the attention of the three people.
Because next, the owner of this party is about to appear.
The spotlight is flashing.
In the eyes of all the people, an old man slowly walked out from behind the scenes, he was the world-renowned magician Cao Jin.
He was dressed in a black gown and wore white gloves for magic tricks, looking a little thin, and his beard and hair were gray, but neatly groomed.
He looked in good spirits and had a ruddy complexion, but the most striking thing was the eyes, which were sunken into their sockets, as if they could see through the deepest secrets of people's hearts.
Looking at the guests present, the old man said with a smile.
"Below I will decipher the most important key ...... of performing magic"
His voice was a little old, but it seemed to have some kind of magic that could attract people's attention.
Everyone watched intently.
"The answer is simple....."
"Actually, attention is the basic skill for everyone who performs magic, because it can attract people's attention, and finally can perform the perfect magic trick."
"Again, this technique exists in all walks of life."
"For example, the crime modus operandi in mystery novels like the ones you have read......"
"It's the same with killing."
