Conan's Almighty Extraction

"What happened, Mr. Huang?"

After hearing Arakyoshi's exclamation, Shiraiwa Maha and the others came to Hamano Toshiya's room on the second floor, and found Arakyoshi sitting not far from the balcony, pointing to the open door with a frightened face. outside the balcony door.

Seeing such a situation, Shirayan Maha's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried to the balcony to look out, and saw Hamano Toshiya, who was supposed to be in the room, was lying on the snowy ground in the back mountain some distance away from the villa. inside.

"Mr. Hamano?!"

Shiraiwa Maha's eyes narrowed slightly, he jumped down from the second-floor balcony which was not too high, and ran towards Hamano Toshiya.

The others didn't have the skill of Shiraiwa Maha, so they could only use the normal way to go downstairs. When they came outside the villa and were about to check on Hamano Toshiya's situation, Shiraiwa Maha stopped them.

"Hamano Toshiya is dead, you all don't come here, don't destroy the scene."

Shiraiwa Maha stood up, pointed to the nearby snow and said: "Look, Mr. Hamano's body is more than ten meters away from the villa, and there are only footprints around me that I ran over just now. It is impossible to do it without wings." Yes, that is to say, this is an impossible crime!"

Sonoko tugged at Xiaolan in some horror, and asked uneasily, "Brother Zhenyu, who killed Mr. Hamano?"

"I don't know who the murderer is, but the murderer should have used something like a string to strangle Mr. Hamano's neck, suffocate him to death, and then transport his body here in some way "

Shiraiwa Maha looked at the purple strangle marks on Hamano Toshiya's neck, and analyzed in an orderly manner: "However, the only access bridge has been destroyed before, so the murderer must be hiding near the villa."

After listening to Baiyan Maha's words, everyone was a little scared, but Huang Yi forced a smile and said: "Please, didn't you say that this murderer is among the few of us?"

"I didn't say that, but I can't rule out the possibility." Bai Yanzhenyu looked at the other people with blazing eyes, hoping to see some clues from them.

"But, it's just us here?" Kikue Tanaka said timidly.

"No, there may be other people who came here."

Bai Yanzhenyu shook his head and reminded: "Have you forgotten? The people who are scheduled to come here tonight are not the other two members of your Magic Lovers Association-【Escape King】and【Shadow Mage】 ?"

"It is indeed very possible. The drawbridge was probably burned down by the murderer."

Kuroda Naoko agreed, and then said worriedly: "If you say that, where is the murderer probably hiding now, planning to take our lives?"

"I don't know about this at the moment, but for the sake of safety, everyone should go back to the villa first. As for Mr. Hamano's body, it's better not to move it."

Shiraiwa Maha's suggestion was supported by other people, and everyone returned to the living room together to prevent someone from being attacked by the murderer when they were alone.

"I killed Mr. Hamano..."

Sonoko's eyes were foggy, and he said with self-reproach: "If I hadn't gotten Mr. Hamano to perform a sideshow, Mr. Hamano wouldn't have been locked in the room alone, and he wouldn't have been killed. I choose to..."

Doi Tucker, who was sitting next to the garden, hurriedly comforted him: "Actually, you don't have to worry about it at all. The so-called extraction is actually just Hamano's magic. It has already been determined which cards to mark, and that Sometimes you were blindfolded and randomly sampled, there is no reason to blame yourself, right?"

"That's right, thank you, Keshu." After hearing Doi Tukeshu's words, Yuanzi seemed to have received some comfort, and finally did not cry.

Naoko Kuroda crossed her arms and asked with some anxiety: "What should we do now? Are we all sitting here so leisurely waiting for the rescuers?"

Faced with such a situation, Baiyan Maha had no choice but to say: "There is no mobile phone signal here, and the only channel has been destroyed, so we can only stay here and wait until tomorrow morning to repair the phone line , and then call the police for help.”

"Well, I hope so..."

Huang Yi sighed, and said anxiously: "Speaking of which, compared to [Escape King], I think the murderer should be [Shadow Mage]."

After hearing Yoshino Arakura's words, Naoko Kuroda seemed to remember something, and then said, "Could it be the chat from before?"

Xiao Lan didn't know much about computers, so she asked puzzledly, "What is that .chat?"

Tanaka Kikue looked at Xiaolan who was confused, and patiently explained: "The so-called chat is a proper term for a computer to use telephone lines to conduct multi-person conversations on the processing system. That kind of call."

The world of Conan is still in the 90s of the last century, and the normal level of technology is limited. The software for online chatting is a very rudimentary text chat room, and its function is similar to that of a group of penguins who can only send text.

Baiyan Maha felt that this might be a useful clue, and quickly asked, "Did something happen in the chat?"

Arakyoshi explained: "You should have heard that there used to be a magician named Harui Fuden who was known as the King of Escape in Japan. Hamano and the others had a very unpleasant disturbance because of this old magician."

"Harui Kaze." Bai Yanzhenyu felt that the name was a bit familiar. After careful consideration, he suddenly realized: "Is it the magician who died accidentally when performing magic last month? I saw this report on TV." .”

"Yes," Huang Yi nodded, and continued: "When we were all discussing the accident, the Shadow Mage suddenly said a very strange thing - [The reason why the great magician died, It’s all your fault!].”

"What does this mean?" Bai Yanmao frowned, feeling that there must be some kind of secret behind it.

"That's because not long ago, we were discussing the escape show on chat, and later we said that we should find a spring well to perform it. I didn't expect such an accident to happen not long after..."

Kuroda Naoko guessed: "I think the reason why Shadow Mage said this is probably because we are discussing that topic."

Tanaka Kikue complained dissatisfied: "We are just discussing in a very ordinary way, he must have gone too far."

"Everyone, in fact, the purpose of inviting everyone here today is not just for magic exchanges." After a moment of silence, Huang Yi revealed the real purpose of holding this gathering.
