Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 22 Natsumi's Reasoning

"what!!!!!"

With a terrified scream, the man named "Kishida" among the group of four still failed to escape the fate of being separated.

Soon the police arrived at the scene and sealed off the entire venue.

Not long after leaving the venue, Ishino Natsumi and Ishino Natsumi bought an ice cream for each of the three little ones and said goodbye to them. After seeing the police clearing the crowd and pulling the cordon, they walked over curiously.

"I don't know what happened inside. There are so many policemen here." Xia Mei looked at the busy policemen at the entrance of the stadium with some worry, and asked Ishino.

"Something must have happened. Looking at the police battle, it should be a relatively serious case. It is very likely that someone died." Shi Ye looked into the hallway with a slightly regretful expression.

Even if Ishino knew the development of the original plot, he was not sure whether the case would still happen if he intervened in the original incident.

The reason why he was able to confirm that there were indeed dead people inside was because after leaving the venue, he had been paying attention to the roller coaster on the track.

He saw Vodka sitting in the last row looking around with a telescope, and based on the direction the other party was looking at, he locked the approximate location of his trading partner.

After the speeding car drove out of the tunnel, he clearly saw the headless corpse in front of the vodka and the blood column around the neck.

Unexpectedly, the murderer resolutely carried out the murder plan when the famous detective Kudo Shinichi had already reported himself. It seemed that the woman's resentment was deeper than imagined.

From Shi Ye's words and expressions, Xia Mei noticed the complicated emotions, so she turned slightly, looked at the other party with gentle eyes and asked, "Shi Jun, did you already notice something when you were inside?"

Hearing Xia Mei's question, Ishino's heart trembled, but when he turned his head and saw the gentle eyes of the other party, he smiled helplessly and said: "Yeah, I still can't hide it from you. I felt a hint of killing intent, so I paid more attention."

"Well, when I just got off the flying car, I could actually feel that you were protecting me. After all, the two people walking in front looked so fierce." Xia Mei said with a smile.

"But just now I vaguely heard a woman inside crying out the name of the deceased. It should be the man named 'Kishida' who was killed."

"Really...it's that man, then who do you think will kill him?" Since Xia Mei had already felt something strange beforehand, Xia Mei naturally ruled out the possibility of accidents and believed in Shi Ye's judgment.

"It's hard to say, it might be those two mysterious men in black." Ishino didn't want to tell the answer before the case was solved, so he made a guess according to what normal people might think.

"Is that really the case? But I don't think it should be those two people." Xia Mei pointed her chin with her finger, recalling her impression of the few people who spoke behind her.

Hearing Xia Mei's unexpected speech, Ishino suddenly became curious, looked at the other party and asked, "Oh, since you don't think it's those two people, who do you think it should be?"

"I think it's probably the girl named 'Hitomi'..." While expressing her guess, Xia Mei's expression became a little heavy.

Unlike Natsumi's emotions at this time, when Ishino heard the other party's answer, he found that his deliberately put on "poker face" almost didn't hold back for a moment.

Before he had time to be surprised, Xia Mei continued to speak: "Although I don't know exactly how that man was killed, if you want to say who has the most motive, it should be her..."

After finishing speaking, Xia Mei looked up at Ishino's slightly surprised expression, and continued with a little pride and regret in her heart: "When the four of them came together before, I felt that the relationship between them was a little delicate. "

"Although they seem to be friends, the girl named 'Hitomi' seems to deliberately keep a distance from the couple, but she will unconsciously look at the man named 'Kishida' from time to time."

"And when the couple hugged and kissed passionately, I felt complex emotions from her narrowed eyes with a smile." Looking at Ishino's slightly puzzled expression, Natsumi explained, "Maybe it's the kind that only Emotions that women can only feel, such as sadness, jealousy, and resentment..."

From Natsumi's reasoning, Ishino once again felt the other party's insight that is different from ordinary people.Different from her own ability to acquire information through the open five senses, Xia Mei's insight comes from her capture of the characters' subtle behaviors and expressions, as well as her perception of their emotional changes.

While lamenting that his girlfriend has the potential to become a great detective, Ishino secretly warned himself that he must work harder to study the application of "poker face", and it is best to remind Grandma Yoko when he goes back, otherwise he might be caught by Natsumi someday. insight into their plans.

"But these are just our guesses, and it's possible that things are not what we thought at all." Ishino stopped Natsumi's analysis in time and diverted the topic from the case, "Don't forget that we are here for a date today. Don't let the case affect your mood."

Xia Mei was taken aback when she heard the words, and burst out laughing: "Yeah, I agreed to make up for you today. If you disappoint because of this, I will be too sorry for Mr. Shi. Then where are we going now?"

"Just go to the Ice Mist Labyrinth, you just said that this is another must-go place."

"Well, let's go then."

The two regained their composure, and walked towards the direction of the target facility holding hands.

……

The two came out of the Ice and Mist Maze and went to play in other areas. It was already evening.

So the two returned to the shop area near the central square to eat, drink and rest, and the case not far away has also been solved.

Although there is no San Xiaozhi to help pick up the evidence, Kudo Shinichi himself drilled the tunnel to find the tools of the crime, successfully restored the modus operandi, and found the real culprit.

Seeing the girl named 'Hitomi' being escorted into a police car with handcuffs by the police, Xia Mei sighed regretfully, and looked at Ishino beside her with some disappointment.

"Are you blaming me for not thinking of a way to prevent this tragedy from happening after discovering the clues." Ishino sensed Xia Mei's mood and tried to take the blame on himself to make her feel relieved.

"How could it be? It's not your responsibility." Xia Mei looked at Ishino's gentle gaze and said with a helpless smile, "Even in front of that famous high school detective, she still decided to do this. How can I stop her?"

"Even if we stop her this time, who can guarantee that she won't look for another chance? I think something must have happened between her and that man, so that she would not hesitate to destroy her own life and kill him The other party..."
