Conan Moslin

The taxi drove straight into the warehouse and was eventually arrested by the police.

According to his confession, he said that his companion called and said that someone was nearby and wanted to take the child to another place.

However, he didn't expect that his companion ran away first and dragged him into it.

Once you catch one, the other will be easy.

A few days later, in another warehouse complex at Beika University, the acting leader of the magic troupe, Teru Mikami, who was looking for an open space to practice magic, discovered Keiroku, who seemed to be dying. He learned that this man was the kidnapper they had been looking for recently, so he called the police and sent him to the hospital.

It is somewhat regrettable that the kidnapper Keiroku died of a sudden heart attack in the ambulance.

In the secret line of [Ming], Mikami Teru, who had once been on the ambulance with him, sent a few messages after a long silence.

[A doctor in the ambulance I was traveling with.]

[He was given a red and white capsule.]

……

Kuwahara Yumi pursed her lips and walked out of the lounge.

She and Kato had imagined the scene of wearing graduation gowns and throwing bachelor's caps together when they graduated.

But that's impossible.

"I'm Kato Saeko, can I be your friend?"

Everything was in vain and she would never see her best friend again.

What that person said seemed both true and false.

At first...she believed it.

But when the children started talking about Li An's rescue, she hesitated.

After walking out of the lounge, Yumi Kuwahara felt as if she had unloaded a burden and she felt completely relaxed.

Not long after she walked out of the door, she saw a girl with golden brown hair who seemed to withdraw her gaze and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Although he looked completely different from Kato, she felt that he was somewhat familiar.

She kept the familiarity in mind and went to look for the sister she had left behind.

One day, she would know what really happened to her that day.

What I heard from Officer Sato and the young boy doesn’t count!

……

What a pity.

Ye Hesha Rongzi lowered her eyes, squeezed the note she had written herself again and again, and finally threw it into an unburned fire in the food street.

[My name is Ye He Sha Rongzi, can I be your friend?]

Can't cause any trouble.

……

The music gradually rose, the lights suddenly went out, and the red curtain was slowly dragged.

The people sitting below stopped making noise.

The swaying light and shadows behind the rolled-up curtains soon focused on a figure.

The scene opens with the deep and angry roar of the sponge-headed man.

"Why did you kill that child!?"

[In the darkness, a voice like the whisper of a mosquito is heard.]

[“I didn’t kill him.”]

The burly man was carrying a paper bag that had no patterns but was unusually large.

At the bottom of the brown kraft paper bag, black stains spread from the bottom and gradually gathered and dripped.

Soon a black line was dyed on the stage.

The light gradually brightened and the scenery changed.

The burly man half-threw and half-placed the paper bag under the flower bed outside the bushes, and then took out a black suitcase from behind the bushes.

"Asshole, she saw our faces!"

[“I have no reason to kill him.”]

"Brother, this is too cruel."

[“I dare not kill him.”]

After a heated argument, the sponge-headed man lowered his head, took a step back, and touched the paper bag.

The paper bag swayed and fell to the ground, and a girl's head slipped out of it.

Like a swan with a broken neck, the girl wearing a hairband has a cute but pale face, and her eyes are wide open but dull.

The cross hanging around his neck stuck out casually, seemingly stained with blood.

"So, she must not be allowed to live."

[“He committed suicide!”]

Bang!

Throwing a bloody saw into the bushes, the two men took the suitcase containing money and left in a hurry.

From then on, the sky is high and the road is long, and no one knows.

[“He used—ahem—this dagger!”]

Ayumi, who was trapped in a paper bag, resisted the urge to blink and gritted her teeth secretly.

Today was such a miserable day!

From now on! She definitely won’t play hide-and-seek! And she definitely won’t make Sister Li An angry!

Being a prop on stage is so lame!

Banknotes made of newspapers flew across the stage and fell to the ground.

As if attracted, some banknotes were blown into a whirlpool by the wind, piling up like a mountain and soon burying the child.

The lights converged, focused again, and gradually shrank.

[“That day, the seven-year-old silver-haired blind boy suddenly exerted force.”]

A female voice humming softly could be heard in the auditorium, the melody was sad.

[“Put your neck towards this dagger.”]

The fans who heard this voice suddenly screamed in a low voice.

"It's Yoko!"

Kogoro Mori, who had solved the incident in an unclear manner, was already sitting in his seat. He was originally chatting with the female college student in a lewd manner, but when he heard Okino Yoko's voice, his eyes lit up.

"Miss Yoko!"

"Dad! Don't disturb the performance!"

Even as she said this, when Mao Lilan heard the humming, for some reason, a surge of sadness welled up in her heart.

It seems that there is another voice...

It was as if a child really had died and his soul was wandering.

When the melody sounded, two other points of light slowly lit up from one end of the curtain, and the beams of light were very close.

A little light went out, and another little light appeared, but the position moved a little distance forward.

[“I guess I got caught up in something awful.”]

As if chasing or running, the two spots of light flickered on and off, one on the left and one on the right, alternating between touching the ground and moving towards the middle along the ink line that extended to the center of the stage.

The light flickered faster and faster, and more and more urgently, twisting and stumbling, and finally rushing towards the beam of light in the center.

[“You guys…are here as expected!”]

When the blood-stained banknotes were blown up again and the light spots expanded again as if they were merging, the child on the ground disappeared.

This part is magic!

Chasing light and shadows, that is the strong point of magician Kuroba Kuriyasu!

"Not us..."

His fingers slid across the cold dagger, leaving a shallow mark.

A pair of gray eyes seemed to be reflected on the dagger, and the eyes were bent, and the dagger was blurred with blood.

It was a pantomime.

There was no reluctance, no crying, his mouth opened and closed silently.

It was just a silhouette at the moment of death.

[I don’t want to be a test subject again! ]

"It's them."

Behind the scenes on the right, next to Kuroba Kuriyasu, Ayumi was looking up at her and asking for her praise.

"Sister Li An! How was my performance?"

The white mask under the black robe was grinning, but the corners of the lips under the mask were slightly pressed down, and a sigh escaped softly.

No one heard it.

Kuroba Kurian came back to his senses and answered with a faint smile.

"Ayumi, you acted very well."

She looked up and saw that the originally shaky light was gradually stabilizing, and a look of relief flashed across her eyes.

Behind the scenes on the opposite side, Kenzaki Osamu, who had already adjusted his state, smiled confidently and flamboyantly.

That is "One", a high-spirited detective.

Yoko Okino stopped humming and picked up a briefcase skillfully.

That is "Lan", a trustworthy partner.

"Next, it's my performance."

Kuroba Kurian walked to the front of the stage, his long robe dragging on the ground, leaving behind a trail of starlight.
