Corpse collector in Conan

Although the process of turning around was a bit complicated, fortunately, the danger that Hashimoto Maya imagined did not happen.

He looked in the direction Conan pointed and saw a long cylindrical object fixed horizontally on the ceiling of the room.

"This..." Hashimoto Maya looked at it and recognized it, "Is this a projection screen? Why is it installed in such a remote place?"

The projection screen is usually hung on the wall. When in use, pull the hook down to unfold a white screen. However, the projection screen in this room is two meters away from the wall.

Hearing the discussion here, Iida Riki smiled and said, "That's not an ordinary screen. It has hidden cuts on it that people can pass through."

Hoshigawa Dougo also said, "If you like magic shows, you should have seen that kind of magic - when the audience is warming up, the screen on the stage plays an animation, and suddenly a real person jumps out of the screen... This is a special prop used to practice that kind of warm-up magic."

When talking about magic, Mrs. Masakage, who knows nothing about it, became interested in talking. She said nostalgically, "When my husband was still here, Iida and the others practiced here - now ten years have passed, and the three of them have become incredible magicians, and they no longer need these entry-level props."

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Three? This is not right, is there a body of an incredible magician mixed in?

In addition, there may be a hidden version of the prison tycoon, and I don’t know if magic tricks can be used to escape from prison...

Iida Riki was unaware of the slightly malicious thoughts of a member of an organization. After hearing what his master’s wife said, he sighed:

“We can achieve what we have today thanks to Mr. Zhengying and this mechanism house he built.

“Many people think that as long as they have the corresponding props, they can easily perform magic. But in fact, it is not the case at all - only by practicing repeatedly day after day can we perfectly grasp the timing during the performance and not be discovered by the audience. ”

“Just like this projection screen.” He pointed to the top of his head, “jumping out of the reserved cutout, it sounds like having legs is enough, but in fact, in order to achieve the shocking effect of ‘the projection becomes a real person’, we must watch the warm-up animation repeatedly to find the most appropriate time to come out. In addition, we must pay special attention to the lights on the stage to prevent the shadow from being projected...”

“Shadow?” Mao Lilan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of something because of this sentence, “I, I seem to know what’s strange! "

At the same time, Suzuki Sonoko also slammed her palm: "It's a vase. The shadow of the vase looks different from before the body appeared!"

Hashimoto Maya: "......?"

He was just distracted for a moment, and these colleagues actually rolled up again without permission?

Jiang Xia turned around with interest when he heard this, and he looked at the two female classmates: "Tell me in detail."

Mouri Ran pointed outward and gestured: "Isn't there a vase on the windowsill at the end of the corridor, next to the body? - When we just went upstairs, the moonlight seemed to shine in from behind the vase, because I couldn't see the pattern on the vase at that time, I only knew that there was a vase standing there. "

"But after the power outage and the power came back on, when Miss Tenko's body was found, the moonlight was shining from the side, and the pattern on the vase could be vaguely seen. "

Inspector Megure hissed and looked at Jiang Xia: "Could it be..."

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he was right.

Inspector Megure: "Could it be that there is some unique astronomical phenomenon tonight, and the moon is moving very fast. Or, are we experiencing a lunar eclipse?"

Jiang Xia: "..."

In terms of spending time and effort to solve cases, Brother Megure is really clear about his position and is unwilling to help at all.

He looked at Hashimoto Maya again, carefully training his assistant to solve the case: "What about you? What do you think?"

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Jiang Xia said so, which means that Inspector Megure's guess must be wrong. In this case...

He changed his angle: "It was windy tonight. When Ms. Mori and Suzuki went upstairs, the moonlight was blocked by the clouds, so the vase was not illuminated-and after the power outage, the clouds were blown away by the wind, and the moonlight came down again, and it became like this now. "

Conan touched his chin: "..." Hashimoto Maya's words were much more reliable than Inspector Megure, but he still felt that something was wrong...

After thinking for a while, Conan asked the two girls: "Did you hear any strange noises when the power went out? For example, running footsteps, or the friction of moving human bodies."

Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko looked at each other and scratched their heads embarrassedly: "No, there was a sudden power outage at that time, we were scared and screamed, and the corridor echoed a lot - at that time, in addition to our own voices, we could only hear Mr. Xinghe's voice. He always comforted us gently, saying don't worry, he is there. "

Conan: "? "

What's the use of him being here? With his small body, if there is a real criminal, he can be knocked down with one stick. What don't worry, it's just talk...

Inspector Megure listened for a long time without any clue, he sighed: "I can't find any useful clues if I stay on the second floor, why don't we go to the first floor first-Mr. Iida, I remember you said that when the power went out, you and Mrs. Masakage were in the lounge on the first floor?"

"That's right." Iida Riki led a group of people to the first floor and pushed the door open, "When I was staying at Mr. Masakage's house to learn magic, I lived in this room. So every time I come back, I like to lie here. "

Police Department Memu was not here to listen to "Memoirs of a Magic Family". He yawned quietly and asked, "Where were you two when the power went out?"

Mrs. Masakage thought for a while: "I opened the door and saw Iida lying on the sofa. Just when I was about to call him, the power suddenly went out at home. After that, I kept standing at the door without moving until calls came."

Megure Police Department frowned when he heard this: "Standing at the door?" Blocking the door like this can prevent Mr. Iida from quietly leaving the house during the power outage, but is this alibi too deliberate?

Riki Iida saw his suspicion, and the young magician explained: "After the power outage, I told my wife that it was best to wait until my eyes got used to the dark before walking around to avoid getting hurt, so she did that."

While they were talking, Jiang Xia had already taken Maya Hashimoto around the room.

Then the detective turned around and asked this double brother: "How is it?"

Maya Hashimoto didn't want to answer at all, but thinking of those colleagues and suspected colleagues who were about to take advantage of the opportunity, he could only bite the bullet and put on a detective look, and seemed to be thinking calmly.
