Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

However, the music program ended very quickly, and it entered the next stage in a short while, and judging from the content alone, it should be a news program.

The first thing that came into their ears was an incident of a bank robbery, but this time the robbery was not successful because the police were conducting a drill at the time.

Although I don’t understand why there would be such inexperienced robbers in Tokyo, the police finally foiled a conspiracy anyway.

It was a rare moment when the radio began to praise the police, but the praise was just passing and not too much anyway.

Everyone was playing games while listening to the news. Although the music was different from the beginning, it was at least a way to connect with the outside world.

It had no effect on them at all. Instead, they were gradually immersed in the game. However, the sky outside was really starting to darken.

Everyone present also noticed something was wrong. The absent Escape King and Shadow Mage had not shown up yet, which was a bit too strange.

Even if you are absent and don't plan to come, you should at least notify them.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, they have no signal here either!

"There's no signal here. Could it be that the two of them don't plan to come, but have no way to contact us?"

Huang Yi seemed to have a headache. Although most of the people who were supposed to come had come, Shadow Mage was still the head of the chat room after all.

This gathering was proposed by the other party first, and they then planned to start it.

As a result, if the other party doesn't come now, it would be a bit embarrassing for him as the provider of the venue.

It's not that we're losing money by doing this. To be honest, it's just a gathering of friendly colleagues, so there's no question of whether it's a loss or not.

After all, it's quite normal to pay for your hobbies, and it doesn't cost a lot of money.

After all, it is my own villa, not rented. Besides, how much can I spend even if I rent it?

You just need to worry about not damaging some things in the rented villa.

"Do you have their phone numbers?"

Matsumoto Akira looked up at the people present, but to his surprise, everyone present shook their heads.

As good friends on the Internet, it is good enough to have each other's accounts and communicate on a long-term basis.

Expecting to maintain this kind of relationship forever is a bit too much.

Before this gathering, they had not even thought about meeting each other formally offline, let alone doing it directly over the phone.

After all, phone calls are quite personal. Friends are friends and they don’t necessarily have to get involved in real life.

It was obvious that none of this group of people were the type to communicate in real life, so naturally no one called Matsumoto Akira.

Looking at them, Matsumoto Akira had a headache. He originally thought that their relationship could become a little closer, but he didn't expect that in the end they would just be online friends.

But at this moment, an urgent news seemed to be interrupted in the news broadcast, and the host was obviously a little surprised.

"I'm very sorry, but I have to interrupt with an urgent news report. A body was found beaten to death in an apartment in Haido Town. The deceased is 41-year-old Nishiyama Mu. On the computer screen next to the body was a mysterious text [This is the first one - by: Shadow Master]..."

This sudden news made everyone present fall silent. The previous content could be ignored for the time being, as there was no shortage of similar murders in Tokyo anyway.

But if the latter ones are combined together, it is easy to associate them with the person on their side who also has the nickname of Shadow Mage.

"Could that shadow mage be the one we are waiting for?"

Hamano Toshino took a deep breath and swallowed the saliva in his mouth.

Are you kidding me? !

I was just here to attend a magician enthusiasts' gathering, but I found out there was a murderer like this in the chat room.

ah! wrong!

Or maybe it was normal for such a murderer to appear around them in Tokyo, but what did the other party mean by that message? Was he going to attack them?

"Come to think of it, Master Shadow seems to be the head of the department?" Kuroda Naoko turned her head and looked at Ara Yoshinori.

Huang Yi nodded with some difficulty, "And it was the other party who first suggested this gathering!"

"Could it be that the other party has some plan to gather us here? Speaking of which, this place is indeed quite suitable for committing crimes. There is no mobile phone to contact the outside world. If--"

Kaito Kidd pretended to be a little scared and looked around. This villa met all the templates of Storm Villa's murder mode.

What matters is that it is a place that is isolated from the world, with inconvenient transportation and few people, at least not like those big gatherings.

It is quite difficult to kill people when there are hundreds or thousands of people.

Unless you intend to use force directly, but if you intend to use force, there is no need to choose the Storm Villa mode.

"There are two people who haven't come here yet. One is the Shadow Mage, and the other is the Escape King. If the one who left the message is the Shadow Mage, then that means—"

Suzuki Sonoko was quite calm at this time. With Matsumoto Akira by her side, she didn't have to worry about her own safety at all.

"So the victim this time, Mr. Nishiyama Mu, should be the escaped king, right?"

"That should be correct. The other party's tone of voice is also quite sophisticated!"

Araki Yize nodded. He didn't communicate much with the Escape King, but the other party's tone of voice was obviously not that of a young man.

However, it is not impossible for accidents to happen. After all, didn't the fraudulent boy next to her, Miss Tanaka, speak in the tone of an old-fashioned Showa man?

In fact, Ms. Tanaka is a young woman with a pretty face and youthful appearance in real life.

Therefore, it is normal to have some differences between real life and reality, but judging from the situation in the news, there should be no other situation.

After getting the exact answer, Suzuki Sonoko nodded, "The only question now is, where will the Shadow Mage hide?"

"Wait, are you saying that the Shadow Mage has come to us?" Hamano Toshino asked with a little surprise.

"Isn't this natural? The other party left a message saying that this was the first one, so they will definitely have to take action against others later!"

Matsumoto Akira spread his hands, "Especially the name he used in the message. He can't possibly use the name Shadow Mage to outsiders, right?"

Apart from the acquaintances in the chat room, who else knew the nickname of the other party's shadow mage? At most, it might be his family members.

But if the fight is between family members due to a family conflict, there is no need to leave this nickname message.

It is impossible to mislead others. Although the police sometimes appear to be incompetent, it does not mean that they have no ability at all.

The overall police capacity is relatively low, but there are some police officers with outstanding abilities.

In other words, if it was really Master Ying who did it, then the remaining targets would most likely be one or several people on their side.

After all, the people who were invited here this time were all in the chat room.

Moreover, this chat room gathering happened to be initiated by Shadow Master. Suzuki Sonoko didn't really believe that there was no arrangement by the other party.

"Come to think of it, I'm still not sure if any of you are the Shadow Mage's smurfs? After all, there is only one name for each person on the Internet!"

Matsumoto Akira's eyes swept over everyone present, "But this kind of thing is not important right now! Let's just call the police first. Although the police may not be able to come here for the time being, they should get the information first and rush here!"

As he spoke, Matsumoto Akira took out his mobile phone from his pocket. Everyone present looked at the phone in Matsumoto Akira's hand with a little confusion.

It’s not like they didn’t bring their cell phones, but isn’t there no signal?

Suddenly they remembered what Matsumoto Akira had asked them about their phone number. Could it be that Matsumoto Akira's phone still had a signal in this place?

"Ah, yes, my phone does have a signal. After all, it is a specially customized model with special enhancements in terms of signal!"

Matsumoto Akira's words made someone in the dark couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.

Not only is he a hidden criminal, but if the police really come, his identity isn't that reliable!

And more importantly, the police will definitely conduct a detailed investigation into cases related to such vicious murders.

This was not a good thing for him. It would be difficult for him to hide this temporary identity from the police who were investigating seriously.

I can only hope that the housekeeper was more serious when making it and could delay the time as much as possible, otherwise I will have to fly out on a paraglider in the heavy snow.

"Don't worry!"

Matsumoto Akira dialed the police number on his cell phone, "The police will be here soon. Although this is a bit unfair to the police who are working overtime, this is the only way!"

After a while, the phone in Matsumoto Akira's hand was connected, and a strong male voice came from the other end.

"Hello, this is the police station. Is there anything I can help you with? If so, please tell me in detail. We will send police officers to check it out in a timely manner!"

It was obvious at first glance that he was a very experienced master who had avoided any decisive arrangements from the beginning to the end.

Just like a specific time, a specific police force or a specific location, these are completely beyond the other party's protection scope.
