The unscientific detective in Conan

"This Phantom Thief, you don't want anyone to be killed by the Shadow Mage when I arrested you, right?"

The corners of Fujino's mouth curled up slightly, and his fists clenched slightly, displayed in front of Kuroba Kaito's eyes.

"…………"

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Fujino's fist, which was as big as a sandbag, swallowed, and couldn't help but feel speechless.

Okay, this guy is probably blackmailing him, right?

No, it shouldn’t be, this is definitely blackmailing him!

Although he also saw that Fujino was a living blackmail.

But he still planned to pay 500,000 yen.

There was no way, even though he was suspected of being taken advantage of, what the other party said made sense.

Every profession has its own rules.

He has his own rules as a magician.

I have to say that Fujino is the sixth child.

It took a hard hold on his psychology.

The purpose of his coming here this time was to comfort Murai Fengden's family.

If he guessed correctly, then the woman named Tanaka Kikue should be Murai Fuden's daughter or granddaughter.

Of course, the so-called comfort is nothing more than encouragement.

Well, he didn't want to see anyone die in this party, and he definitely didn't give in because of the other party's... violence.

"I don't have half a million yen in cash right now..."

"No cash?"

Fujino frowned.

Well, half a million yen is not too much, but if converted into cash, it would require at least fifty 10,000 yen bills.

Most people really don’t carry so much cash with them.

After a pause, Fujino asked again: "Did you bring your bank card?"

"bank card?"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned, "I do have a bank card."

"That's good."

Fujino took out a black mobile POS machine: "I support mobile payment here."

Kuroba Kaito: "…………"

Good guy, good guy.

Do you carry something like a mobile POS machine with you?

No, where did you get the mobile POS machine from?

Looking at the mobile POS machine that Fujino casually took out from somewhere like him, Kuroba Kaito was speechless for a while.

Speechless, he took out a bank card from nowhere, swiped it on Fujino's mobile POS machine, and entered the password.

As a phantom thief, of course his bank card was encrypted and he was not handling it as the high school detective Kuroba Kaito, so he didn't think that his card swiping operation would reveal his identity.

Even if the other party traces it through bank card information, they will only end up with an empty number from a Swiss bank.

[System balance received: 500,000 yen]

A pleasant sound sounded in Fujino's ears.

The smile on Fujino's face gradually became more relaxed. After putting away the mobile POS machine, he patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder: "Happy cooperation, customer."

"Ha ha……"

This attitude changed really quickly.

Kuroba Kaito asked Fujino: "So what information do you need me to provide?"

"You joined the group relatively early. I think you should know something about the Shadow Mage."

Fujino asked: "Is there any conflict between Shadow Mage and Escape King before I join the group?"

"contradiction?"

Kuroba Kaito thought for a moment and replied: "If it's a contradiction, the two of them did have a big quarrel before about Murai Fazeden. Probably just before you entered this chat room, the shadow mage suddenly said something: 'This "A great magician will die, and it's all because of you." I can understand this sentence. Ikasama Doji is Murai Faze. We discussed escaping from magic half a year ago. After that, maybe it was because In response to the expectations of the people in the chat room, Mr. Murai held the final magic show shortly after.”

"One last magic trick?"

"Yes, during that escape magic, Mr. Murai died unexpectedly..."

Speaking of this, Kuroba Kaito suddenly frowned.

Obviously, as a magician, he also regretted the death of the magician.

"If we look at the current situation, the murderer is likely to be Mr. Murai's magic enthusiast. After learning that the person in this chat room asked Mr. Murai to perform magic again and died, he wanted to avenge Mr. Murai. And take revenge on everyone in the chat room.”

Fujino gave the current reasoning results based on the evidence currently available, without involving spoilers.

"Boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Mr. Doi, we have prepared dinner."

"I see!"

Kuroba Kaito restored Tucker Doi's voice and responded.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Fujino turned around and opened the door.

"Are you still in the mood to eat?"

Kuroba Kaito stood up from the bed he was sitting on, "There is still a murderer staring at us from the dark, planning to kill us."

"People are iron rice is steel."

Fujino waved his hand indifferently, "In this situation where the enemy is overt and we are hidden, we have no way to take the initiative. We can only wait for the Shadow Mage to be exposed. With you as the ever-changing monster thief, and me as the dark detective, the Shadow Mage and him The slightest movement will expose you.”

"Right……"

Kuroba Kaito recalled the scene that night when Fujino held up a wooden sword, jumped two or three meters, chasing the spider to chop, and couldn't help but nodded.

It’s so funny, who doesn’t have the guts to do anything in front of this guy?

The time came in the afternoon.

Since it was winter, the days were short and the nights were long, so it was already dark before six o'clock.

A group of people came to the table, except Conan.

Since Fujino had fed Conan two magic little cold medicines beforehand, under the influence of the cold medicine, he was now sleeping like a dead dog.

At the dinner table, everyone in the magic chat room began to discuss their favorite Japanese magician.

"As a magician, Kuroba Toichi."

Fujino casually mentioned a magician he was most familiar with.

"I also prefer Kuroba Toichi."

Aragi said the same thing.

The Black Feather Thief was apparently dead eight years ago.

Although he has been dead for many years, as a representative of the magic era, he still has a large number of magic enthusiasts and fans.

Especially for people of Arakisori's age.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Fujino in surprise, not expecting that Fujino was actually a fan of his father.

After a pause, he echoed: "I am the same."

"I prefer Kinoshita Yoshiro, who already has a title at the age of twenty."

Hamano Toshiya said the same.

"Why do you all like the dead magician... I still prefer Sanada Kazuzo who is still alive."

Naoko Kuroda complained, and then asked Ran and Yuzono: "Do you two have a favorite magician?"

"My favorite magician..."

Sonoko paused, a girlish blush appeared on her face, "Of course that's Kaitou Kidd!"

"But Kaitou Kidd is a thief..."

"And it's not certain that he is the Neon Man."

"I fought him twice."

At this time, Fujino suddenly said: "I am sure that he is the Neon Man. Although he is well disguised, my intuition is sure..."

After a pause, Fujino continued: "And in terms of magic techniques, Kaitou Kid's magic is indeed very powerful. As for whether he is a magician... I don't think only those who perform magic on the magic stage are magicians. That’s right.”

After saying that, Fujino asked Kuroba Kaito meaningfully: "Is that right, Mr. Doi?"

"Haha... I think it's the same. The stage of magic is not a single one."

Kuroba Kaito smiled awkwardly.

…………

After lunch, the tableware was put away, and everyone began to discuss the arrangements for the entertainment program after the evening party.

Originally, it should have been arranged by the organizer of this party, the Escape King.

But the escape king was dead and did not arrive.

The phone line was also disconnected for no apparent reason.

Therefore, under the leadership of Hamano Toshiya, everyone adopted the method of magic to decide.

Sonoko was blindfolded and drew a mark on the card with the name on it, which represented who was the acting party host.

Afterwards, Hamano Toshiya performed a wave of prophecy magic.

Naoko Kuroda is the acting host and she guessed it right.

Tanaka Kikue was responsible for boiling the bath water, and she guessed it correctly.

But when it came to guessing the person in charge of the sideshow, he guessed wrong.

Originally, he gave the guess that it was the Doi Tucker tree, but in fact, it was him.

After making a decision, everyone went to take charge of their own work.

Xiaolan and Sonoko went to see Conan who was still sleeping due to a cold. Hamano Toshiya went upstairs to prepare for the show, Arayoshi planned to go to the wine cellar to get some red wine, the college student who came to work went to the kitchen to prepare side dishes, and Tanaka Kikue went to the kitchen to prepare side dishes. Went to demolish the house to boil hot water.

"You should have seen something about that magic trick just now, right?"

Fujino slowly came to Kuroba Kaito and asked.

"Yeah, a very simple magic trick."

Kuroba Kaito nodded, "If I read it correctly just now, Tanaka Kikue should be the one who performed that magic. Before that guy Hamano prepared the magic, Tanaka Kikue fixed those cards on those cards. employees."

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Fujino asked suddenly.

"strangeness?"

"If it was someone who was fixed in advance, then why would Hamano Toshiya say that you are the person in charge of the sideshow?"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned when he heard this and looked at Fujino in surprise: "You mean..."

"If my guess is correct, then the person who was supposed to prepare for the sideshow should have been you, but for some reason it became him."

After a pause, Fujino continued: "The only person who can make such a change is Tanaka Kikue, who was prepared in advance. But why did she change the originally fixed person? What is the necessity? Is that the purpose of this?”

"Did you mean that?!"

Kuroba Kaito swallowed: "Is Tanaka Kikue the Shadow Mage?"

"That's not known yet."

Fujino shook his head, then turned his gaze upstairs, "We will find out when we go up and take a look."
