Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 53 The Legend of the Red Thread

Seeing the "accident" happening in front of their eyes, Conan and the others didn't care about the fact that the person who fell on the ground was a murderer, and immediately rushed forward to check the situation.

After confirming that Director Jinchuan was not breathing, Conan asked the three members of the Detective Boys to stay in place to protect the scene, while he ran out of the library and went to the nearest phone booth to call the police.

At this time, Asahi Shishi had already used the hook lock to fall from the window to the ground, put away his disguise, and walked on the way back as if nothing had happened.

If someone observes carefully at this time, they will find this gentle young man walking on the road with a smile on his lips, as if he just received a generous bonus for his hard work.

And the reason why he felt happy was not only because he solved a "demon" with his own hands, but also because he was finally convinced that signing a contract with Ishino was an extremely correct choice.

Killing Tsugawa Hideji was effortless for him.After all, before Yueying Island carried out revenge, in order to ensure the implementation of the murder plan, he had not stopped studying and exercising for two years.

Relying on his talent and hard work, combined with his professional knowledge as a doctor, Asahi has actually figured out a set of killing techniques that suits him.

In the "Moonlight" murder incident, according to the on-site investigation report, it can be known that the three adult male victims were almost all killed without resistance, and two of them were even killed with bare hands. It is not easy to achieve this level.

Aso was indeed able to carry out serial killings under such circumstances, and he could still stay beside a famous detective like Mori Kogoro during the period, acting as if nothing had happened. It can be seen that he is definitely a self-taught genius killer.

Recently, under the guidance of Butler Sawabe, he has learned some basic techniques of Bajiquan and how to use some basic props such as hooks and locks, just to welcome this day.

And that crow was trained by the Black Feather Pirates and stayed in the castle tower.This time he brought it out, originally as an emergency contact, but unexpectedly he became one of the actors who created the "accident" in that scene.

……

In the night sky, a crow was flying from Mihua Town to Yokosuka, and Ishino, who had just glanced at the text message from Aso Shishi, also put down his phone, turned around and hugged Natsumi who had fallen asleep, and fell asleep peacefully Down……

On the other side, under the anxious waiting of the young detectives, the police finally arrived at the Mihua Library in the middle of the night.

According to the forensic examination and the descriptions of several children, Police Officer Megure and Conan both believed that Director Jinchuan encountered a crow that suddenly broke in at the corner of the stairs while chasing them anxiously.

On the other hand, with the discovery of Yutian's body and a large amount of drugs, the crimes of murder and drug trafficking by curator Jin Chuan are also well-documented, and the case is considered to have come to an end.

As for the object of Director Jinchuan’s drug dealing, the police still need to investigate further, but these matters have nothing to do with Conan and others.

In the end, the three little ones who were already too sleepy were sent back to their respective homes by the police car. After returning to the Maori Detective Agency, Conan secretly ran to Dr. Ali's house with the white dry wine in the cupboard.

So the next morning, as soon as Ishino raised the curtain of the storefront, he saw Conan through the glass, who was still hungover, and staggered past the door...

……

Winter turns to spring, the weather gradually warms up, and it's the annual animal mating... Ah no, it's the season for young people to go out on dates.

As Ishino and Natsumi who have already lived together and entered the stage of discussing marriage, although they no longer need to rely on dating to bring their relationship closer, occasional romance is also a good seasoning agent.

Ishino does not reject this kind of activity that young people yearn for very much, but all along, the dating arrangements between the two have basically been proposed by Xia Mei.

"Shi Jun, early next month, let's go to the movies together!"

After receiving the movie ticket from Natsumi, Ishino glanced at the title of the movie on it, feeling a little impressed: "The Legend of the Red Line?"

"Okay, is this your favorite movie?" Regarding the date request proposed by the fiancée, regardless of whether he is free or not, he will treat it as if he is free.

"It's the movie I want to watch with you, that's right!" Xia Mei looked at Ishino with a smile, and continued to remind, "But the more important thing is to watch it together on that day!"

Seeing Xia Mei's look of anticipation, Shi Ye also said with a smile: "Oh, let me see which day it is..."

When he saw the date on the movie ticket, Ishino suddenly realized something, he went up to hold Natsumi's hands, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't realize that May 5rd is your birthday... ..."

"It's okay, I just mentioned my birthday to you a long time ago." The smile on Xia Mei's face deepened, and she didn't mean to blame the other party at all, "It's better to say that you can remember my birthday, which makes me feel very happy. happy."

"Actually, since I went to study in France alone, I have hardly celebrated my birthday these years. It is thanks to Shi Jun that I can think of celebrating my birthday with you this time!"

Hearing Xia Mei's sincere words, Ishino thought that he hadn't thought of his birthday for many years, and he hadn't even paid attention to his birthday being skipped suddenly on a certain day.

He hugged Xia Mei into his arms, stroked her long hair, and said softly: "Then let me accompany you to have a good birthday."

"Well, it doesn't need to be so exciting, as long as you are by my side, that's enough..."

Just when Ishino was thinking about how to spend Natsumi's 5th birthday with Natsumi on May 3, suddenly a postman rang the doorbell and delivered an invitation letter.

Seeing the signature on the invitation letter, Ishino instantly became inexplicably angry with this guy called "Eiji Moritani".

Because after seeing the completely symmetrical name printed in the middle of the invitation letter, he remembered that this guy was the villain in Conan's first theatrical version, "The Timer Detonates Skyscrapers".

And the other party will detonate the Mihua Municipal Building on the night before Conan's birthday, that is, on the night of May 5rd. Coincidentally, the movie tickets Xia Mei bought happened to be the late-night show at the Mihua Municipal Building's cinema on that day!
So while Ishino scolded the other party in his heart, he also scolded Conan, the broom star, for his birthday to be one day after Natsumi's.

Turning over the invitation letter, Ishino saw that Teiji Moritani invited him to attend the afternoon tea party held at the other party's mansion on April 4th, and wanted to call him back directly.

But he thought that that guy might ruin Xia Mei's rare birthday in the future, so he decided to accept the other party's invitation, no matter what, he had to make some troubles for this bastard.

"Eiji Moritani, dare to ruin Natsumi's birthday, I will let you feel what real fear is..."
