Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 304
In the blink of an eye, Ishino judged that he could not avoid the opponent's attack because he was not on a stable footing. So at the critical moment, he could only raise his right arm and aim the tip of the umbrella in his hand at the center of the tree trunk and chop it down with all his strength. .

Accompanied by the crackling sound of wood breaking, the tree trunk was split in half from the middle, and stopped flying until it hit the trees on both sides behind Ishino with a deafening bang.

Looking at the umbrella in his hand that was bent and deformed and obviously no longer usable, a surge of rage instantly ignited from his cold eyes. At this moment, he decided that he would no longer show mercy to the naughty kid in front of him. He must be punished today. I know why the flowers are so red.

At the same time, Kyogoku witnessed the other party using an umbrella with one hand to split the tree trunk that he threw with all his strength while carrying a person. He couldn't help but have a bunch of question marks in his heart, thinking about the same question: What did that person just do? What?Are you sure it's just an umbrella and not some magic weapon?
Before he could figure out what was going on, a murderous intent that seemed to come from the abyss of hell suddenly spread from the figure in front, making people shudder.

Looking up, he saw that the other party had left the person on his back aside at this moment. The whole person seemed to be transformed into a ghost and surrounded by strong murderous aura, and it was like a thunder that rushed in front of him in an instant.

Seeing Ishino's expression as if he was about to be eaten alive by an evil spirit, Kyogoku felt the fear from the depths of his soul for the first time, and instinctively punched the opponent with all his strength.

At this moment, he no longer held back, because after the previous battle, he had a deep understanding of the opponent's strength. He was definitely the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in his life, so he concentrated all his life-long skills on this one. In the fist, he vowed to determine the winner through this blow.

However, what he never expected was that in the face of this blow that could directly shatter reinforced concrete, the opponent did not dodge and grabbed his fist with the palm of his hand, and then he was grabbed by a big black hand. He froze his head, and with a sudden spin and an impact like being hit head-on by a dump truck, his consciousness completely fell into darkness.

……

A few minutes later, Ishino, who was all wet, carried two tall men covered in mud and walked into the room where Sonoko was. In front of everyone who looked confused, he put the two people on the tatami and spread his hands and said: "They are my I picked it up in the bushes outside the balcony, please come and claim it."

"It's Brother Kyogoku and Mr. Michowaki!" Conan immediately ran to the two of them to confirm their identities, and asked Ishino anxiously, "Uncle Ishino, what's wrong with them?"

"So he is Mr. Michowaki?" Ishino replied deliberately pretending not to recognize him, "I just heard something moving outside and went to the woods to check, and found him lying in the woods covered with injuries. Fortunately, although there were many fractures on the body, there were no serious injuries, he just fainted."

"As for this little brother you call Kyogoku, he came to the woods for some reason. When he saw me, he called me without saying a word." At this point, Ishino spread his hands helplessly and explained, "But he seemed My eyesight is not very good, so I accidentally tripped over a tree trunk that fell to the ground, and ended up falling into the dirt and fainted. I think I will wake up soon."

"Is that so?" Hearing Ishino's explanation, Conan looked at Kyogoku, who had a muddy face, and felt a little funny. The karate champion who looked so arrogant before would actually stumble in the bushes. If he fell down and fainted, people would laugh out loud if word spread about it.

Xiaolan on the side was shocked when she saw the unconscious Kyogoku Shingo. Knowing his strength, she could not imagine how the other party could faint because of a trip. She looked at him with some suspicion. Ishiye, who looked like it had nothing to do with him, wondered if it was Ishiye who thought he was a bad guy and knocked him out, right?However, Yoko immediately understood that Kyogoku Makoto probably couldn't help but fall in love with Ishino after seeing him, but he didn't expect that his grandson-in-law would knock him out and carry him back. He glanced at him speechlessly and then No longer caring about the situation in front of him, he turned around and left the room.

"But why did Mr. Michowaki fall in the bushes? Was he attacked by the gangster from before?" After seeing the other man's appearance clearly, Sonoko asked nervously.

"No, I think he was not attacked by gangsters, but he is the same gangster before." After hearing Sonoko's question, Xiaolan walked to Masahiko Michowaki and squatted down to carefully observe his injuries. Later, he said to Sonoko seriously, "Only one part of his body was injured by the kick on his abdomen. The fractures in his limbs were all caused by falling and impact. It is obvious that he is the person who was kicked away by Sonoko before."

"Sister Xiaolan is right. Sister Yuanzi, look at the wood chips on his clothes. They are the same as the wood chips that fell near the fence. I think he is the serial murderer. Should we call the police as soon as possible?"

"How could it be possible?! Could it be that Mr. Daowaki approached me to kill me?!" Seeing Xiaolan and Conan pointing out the evidence that the other party was the murderer one by one, Yuanzi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and felt a wave of fear in his heart.

"But why did he sneak into the room to search for our backpacks when no one was around?" Although Xiaolan also felt that the other party should be the murderer, she was still puzzled by the other party's unreasonable behavior.

"Is it possible that you have any evidence in your hands that can prove that he committed murder?" Ishino reminded aloud after hearing this, "Didn't you mention before that you should have been nearby when the murder case occurred on the railway line? ? Could it be that you discovered something at that time, or did the murderer think you discovered something?"

"That's right, I remembered it!" After hearing Ishino's reminder, a flash of lightning flashed across Conan's mind, and he thought about it and said excitedly, "There seemed to be a tram passing by at that time. I think the prisoner must be Use the electric light produced by the friction of wires as the light of a camera flash!”

"It happened that the other party saw Sister Yuanzi passing by from the woods with a camera in her hand, and subconsciously thought that her criminal behavior was photographed by her, so she focused on Sister Yuanzi."

"I think Mr. Michowaki deliberately made up the ghost story about the ghost photo so that Sonoko-san would leave the camera in the room so that he could find an opportunity to steal the camera."

"It's just that what he didn't expect was that the evidence photos he thought did not exist at all. Instead, he was trapped in a cocoon because his actions exposed the facts of his crime. In the end, he was kicked by Sister Yangzi and turned into this miserable state. appearance."

At this point, Conan turned to look at the confused Yuanzi and said with a bad smile: "I just said, how could someone take the initiative to chat with Yuanzi sister? Now it seems that the other party really has bad intentions!"
