Chapter 32: Prophetic Magic

"He's the murderer."

After listening to the previous conversation, Bai Cheng frowned, and then said firmly.

"Why?"

Roshi was a little puzzled, because according to what he had just said, everything could be explained.

"Don't you think it's all too reasonable?"

"Only the murderer or someone related to the offender would want to turn this case into a suicide."

"A frustrated magician decided to die at this banquet."

"After graduating from medical university, there is a way to get poison."

"Drink that cup of poisoned wine after a wonderful magic banquet and die in the eyes of everyone."

"What a reasonable assumption?"

"It's like someone has arranged it a long time ago."

Speaking of this, Bai Cheng narrowed his eyes, and his words were meaningful.

"If the murderer was among us, what was the modus operandi?"

"The red wine was prepared by Guo Yan himself, and he also personally handed it to the guests present."

"If you don't want to kill yourself, how can you drink that cup of poisoned wine?"

"And how did the murderer put the poison in?"

This is the crux of the case, the modus operandi.......

"I've thought of it, it's actually very simple, and it's not complicated."

"Because Guo Yan will drink that glass of wine no matter what."

The corners of Bai Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said meaningfully.

......

"How does it feel to kill someone?"

Zhou Shutong sat on the sofa, smiled softly, and his hair fell down naturally, crossing his ears. Swaying out of the charming arc.

The dark red gown lined the legs as white as ivory, slender and straight, and the delicate curves were completely outlined.

"It's not bad...... actually"

The old man replied in a hoarse voice, a wrinkled face full of smiles.

It's not at all like a conversation between a father and daughter.

Instead, it's like a group of murderers talking about how they feel after the killing.

Or maybe they're not really father and daughter.

"Why did you choose to kill him?"

Zhou Shutong held his cheeks in his hand, and his charming eyes were a little curious.

"Because I'm dying, I want him to be with me and perform a perfect magic trick before I die."

The old man said in a calm tone, as if the person who was about to die was not himself, and killing a person was like crushing an ant.

It is not worth showing a trace of pity at all.

......

Time slowly rewinds to a week ago.

"You old thing, don't you want to die!!"

"Why don't you recommend me to participate in the magic competition?"

At this time, Guo Yan stared at his teacher resentfully and scolded.

"Your ability is not enough, and it is entirely up to my reputation to get to where you are now."

"That would ruin yourself."

What is strange is that even though he was insulted by his own apprentice like this, the old man's expression was still calm.

"Die!!"

"Then your property and status will be mine!"

Guo Yan's gaze was extremely gloomy, like a greedy and cold-blooded crocodile.

Hearing this, the old man closed his eyes, sighed, and finally said, "In that case, next week, on the tenth anniversary of the club." ”

"You perform a new magic trick with me, and then I'll agree to all your requests."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Yan suddenly became excited, and then said:

"You should have done this, old fellow."

"After all, I'm your only son......"

The voice fell, and immediately, Guo Yan turned around and slammed the door and left.

Only the old man was left in the room, sitting silently.

"Yes, you are my only son, how can I rest assured that you are left alone in this world?"

"So..... Let's die together. ”

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, which were cold and emotionless.

The same is love and punishment.....

.......

There is no progress in the case for the time being, and the police are making a record of everyone in the mansion at this time, hoping to find clues from it.

"Do you know the magician's choice?"

Bai Cheng suddenly asked.

"What's that?"

Roshi was a little puzzled, what does this have to do with the case?

"It's a prophetic magic trick, I'm going to demonstrate it."

"There are now three coins on the table, two five dimes, and one dollar."

"And I have one in my hand, but I don't tell you the denomination."

"Please choose two of them below."

Although it was unclear what White City was doing this, Roshi still picked up the coin on the table as requested.

Two pentagons.

Only one coin in denomination of one dollar was left on the table.

Immediately after, the corners of Bai Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

Then, he continued, "Give me any of the two coins you have." ”

After listening, Roshi frowned, a little hesitant, but he couldn't guess the other party's true intentions.

In the end, after thinking twice, he took out the five dimes in his hand and put it on the table.

Seeing this scene, Bai Cheng smiled meaningfully, and then stretched out his palm, showing the coins of unknown denominations that had been hidden in his hands before.

Under the brilliant lights of the banquet, the brilliant brass color is revealed.

Dime......

How is this possible?

How can there be prophecy in this world?

"You...... How did you do that? ”

Looking at the incredible scene in front of him, Roshi's eyes widened, but he couldn't think of any flaws.

"Let's do it again."

Bai Cheng smiled slightly, and then said.

As before, there are three coins on the table, two five dimes and one dollar.

"Take two of the coins now."

His voice seems to have a kind of magic that will make people fall into it unconsciously.

This time, Roshi's choice was different.

She took and a dollar and a pentagon.

"Next, give me any of the two coins you have in your hand."

The same words, but it is difficult to guess the mystery.

Roshi frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a dollar coin and put it on the table.

Immediately, Bai Cheng stretched out his hand, and the five-dime coin with a brass-colored luster was still placed in his palm.

But then, his voice sounded, making people think deeply.

"I'm guessing the coin you hold in your hand right now is the same as mine."

As the words fell, Roshi stood up, his eyebrows furrowed, but he seemed to understand something.

There is no change in the coin in the opponent's hand.

It's still that dime.

But no matter what she chooses, she can make people think that she has guessed through her words.

So there is really no choice at all.

At this time, Bai Cheng's gentle voice came from his ears.

"In fact, from the beginning, Guo Yan also had no choice."

"He was destined to drink that poisoned wine......"

After hearing these words, it was as if I had cleared the layers of fog and finally glimpsed the truth hidden in the deepest depths.

"But there's only one person who can do it."

"That is, the world-renowned magician, the organizer of this banquet, the teacher of the deceased......"

"Cao Jin!!"
