Conan Moslin

"In addition to the campus festival held by Teitan University today, Beihua University will also hold one the day after tomorrow."

"The campus festival of Mika University was held a month ago."

"As for high school, Teitan High School where we are will have a school festival in a month. Beihua High School will also have one in the next few days..."

She knew the time of the campus festival like the back of her hand.

This is probably due to...

Li An glanced at the script at hand.

"Can you narrow the scope a little bit more?" Officer Megure continued to ask.

Kogoro Mori played the recording again.

However, apart from the words that Tani Jingzi blurted out, there seemed to be no other clues.

After repeating it several times, Li An discovered that there was an extremely short silence before Tani Jingzi shouted, and then the sound continued.

The sound before the kidnapper hung up the phone was exactly the same as the noise when the call was first connected.

It's like a noisy scene simulated in a stage play.

"Did you discover it?"

Conan held up the badge and whispered, "Is that a recording?"

So this is the fourth point.

This determines whether the warehouse is the location for the school festival or not.

They concluded that the school probably did not hold a campus festival, otherwise they would not have gone to the trouble of playing the recording.

This kind of noisy sound would be difficult to hear if one's ears are not sharp enough.

Today, or in the past few days, there is no school festival held at the school...

Teitan High School, Touto University, and Beika University.

Here it comes, choose one from the three options in Kexue.

Conan was looking down in deep thought. Here, Li An tapped his badge and said, "Didn't Mr. Katagiri say before that the kidnappers would mislead those who got the news?"

Actually, speaking of the chimney... Li An actually recalled a little bit of the plot, but because the time period of this incident has passed, she can't be sure.

If we can judge based on the original plot, the clue of the chimney is——

Seen sideways as a peak on the side of the ridge, the height varies from far to far.

The chimney is not a chimney, but a tall building.

As for which tall building it is.

She thought about it carefully and circled a place in her mind.

"besides."

Conan on the other side held his breath and listened carefully, but found that this sentence was not a hint to him.

"You guys, why are you still lying at the door when you know Ayumi's badge is here?"

"I have a mission for you."

She had been tolerating the group of eavesdropping children at the door for a long time.

……

Conan found that Li An seemed to have turned her attention to the other children who were listening to the badge, so he gave up communicating with her and continued thinking.

Misleading... misleading...

He was just a little bit closer to finding the answer.

"Conan, have you thought of anything?"

Xiaolan has been paying attention to Conan. When she handed the badge to Conan, she looked at it carefully and guessed from the small antenna and the English word "detective" that it was Conan's small prop.

I haven't seen it before, maybe it was newly prepared by Dr. Agasa.

Just like the thing wrapped in chewing gum.

She still kept it, maybe...she could use it in the future?

Sonoko whispered to Xiaolan beside her: "Do you think his confident look is very similar to Kudo?"

Ran Mouri glanced at Conan, who was holding the badge and thinking, and shook her head.

“Not really…”

Isn't he?

“Maybe it doesn’t look like it from your direction?”

Doesn't look like it from this direction?

Conan seems to have some inspiration.

Among the clues we got...only the chimney can be looked at in a different direction.

Not... a chimney?

What else could it be?

Tall...

Building!

Rice Flower Hotel near Rice Flower University.

Looking at the time, Conan found that it was almost five o'clock.

He has to be faster.

However, running by legs is naturally difficult.

Conan fixed his eyes on the big dog next to him that was wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue.

“Woof—woof!”

"Big Mac, what are you doing!?"

"Conan!"

Several people focused their attention and saw a nimble brown figure carrying a boy in a blue suit on his back and running out.

Soon it disappeared into the streets.

Li An, who had already walked out from the badge side, couldn't help but hold his forehead.

There are so many adults around, any one of them can get a taxi and get through.

What on earth is this kid thinking?

The distance between Teitan University and Beika University...is not close.

……

Gray carpet, white walls, scattered photos of the society, wiped clean.

There are some magic books on the bookshelf and many soft sofa chairs are placed randomly.

There was a small stage in the room. The carpet on the stage was red and a person was standing on it.

There were all kinds of props on the table in front of him, ranging from coins to playing cards, to some magnetic rings, balloons, ropes and many other items.

It is specially designed for close-up magic.

In addition, there should have been a few bags containing some unknown "dangerous goods", but now, the bags are gone.

A magic black cloth was spread out on the table, with a black magic hat on it and a magic wand placed on top.

Throw the magic wand away and it becomes a long staff.

It is a long stick that is as hard as a baton.

A must-have for self-defense at home and traveling.

But it's definitely not as useful as a dagger.

If you twist the knob hidden in the magic wand in a specific way, some "little surprises" will appear.

There may be a few long ribbons of spray, or it may be a special rose.

Or maybe a lot of candies.

This is normal.

A small white head popped out from the hat.

The whole body is white, the feathers are smooth, and the tail feathers are medium-length.

Resting his head on the magic wand, Citron looked at the black-robed figures on the stage with his sparkling pigeon eyes.

Showing some doubts.

The robe was large, covering the entire body, head and face, and a mask was worn under the hood.

A long bamboo stick was supported on the ground.

Are you sure this is a magician and not an old wizard? !

Citron nudged the magic wand in front of him with his head and leaned forward.

Then the magic wand slid forward.

The man in black robe began to recite the lines, his voice a little hesitant.

"You can call me 'Night'."...

Snap, gurgle, boom.

The magic wand fell onto the table and rolled onto the gray carpet.

"Please keep it for me..."

Citron flapped its wings; the center of gravity of the magic hat was now somewhat unstable.

So it flapped its wings and flew up, causing the magic hat to completely overturn and roll, and then a lot of things fell down with it.

The sounds of plop, splash and gurgle came one after another.

"You know what? That kid...he's a...is a..."

She couldn't continue because of the noise in front of her and the mess on the ground.

Well, that's not the reason.

The real reason is——

She forgot the words.

"Yuanta, what's the next line?"
