Conan: The Magician of the End of the Century

Chapter 301 Guards
"Yangzi, Xiaolan, Yuanzi, what happened to so many people here?" At this moment, a friendly and sweet voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Ah, it's Sister Natsumi, you're finally here!" Seeing Natsumi and Ishino walking along the road with their three children, Xiaolan hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Sister Natsumi, we just discovered someone here. It’s best not to let children get close to the body of a female victim.”

"Eh? Has there been a murder here?" After hearing Xiaolan's explanation, Natsumi looked in the direction of the crowd and saw police cars and police officers maintaining order. She nodded and suggested, "Then let's leave here first. Just go to the beach.”

"Well, it just so happens that Sonoko is also a little afraid of the murder that happened here, so let's go quickly." Xiaolan immediately nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then shouted in the direction of Conan, "Conan, Xiaoai Xiaosaki and the others have arrived, hurry up Come here and let’s go back to the beach together!”

"I'm here, Sister Xiaolan!" Hearing Xiaolan's call, Conan, who had no clue yet, reluctantly put down his analysis of the case and trotted towards the crowd.

Seeing that the group was about to leave, Michiowaki Masahiko also took the initiative to say goodbye to the three girls: "Since your friends are already here, I will go back first and pick you up at 7pm. Just wait for me at the door of the hotel." ”

"Yeah, I understand." After waving goodbye to the other party, Sonoko, accompanied by Yoko, left the scene of the crime with the Ishino family, and soon returned to his usual rough appearance.

"So, is this a murderer who specializes in killing women with brown hair?" On the way to the beach, Natsumi learned the information about the case from Xiaolan, and couldn't help but suddenly said, "No wonder Sonoko was so scared just now, but now that the police have arrived Well, the prisoner must not dare to show up again."

"Having said that, you still have to be careful." Yuanzi said still a little suspicious after hearing this, "Also, Sister Xia Mei, you and Xiao Ai both have brown hair, and they might be targeted by prisoners, so be careful. It’s safe.”

"Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention." Natsumi responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Sister Yuanzi, we will definitely protect mother." Xiao Ai and Xiao Saki on the side also said in unison after hearing Yuanzi's worries.

"They are really reliable little guards. Then Xiaolan and I will protect the garden." Seeing the confident expressions of the two lovely great-granddaughters, Yangzi could not help but see that they indeed had this strength. He said with a smile.

Conan on the side saw Xiao Ai's appearance and couldn't help complaining in his heart that this guy might not have really been assimilated into a child by his sister and brother. What's more, with Mr. Ishino here, even if the prisoner shows up, I'm afraid it won't be your sister's turn. Take action?

"Who is the boy who just made an appointment with you at seven o'clock in the evening, sister Yuanzi?" Xiao Ai asked Yuanzi curiously, ignoring Conan's strange look at her.

"Ah, I almost forgot to mention it." After being reminded by Xiao Ai, Yuanzi remembered to explain the dinner arrangements to the other party's family, "The person just now was Mr. Michowaki Masahiko, a friend we met on the beach. He A famous restaurant nearby was recommended, so we accepted the invitation and planned to take you to dine there in the evening."

"Since you think it's okay, I don't have any objections. What do you think, Shi-kun?" After listening to Sonoko's explanation, Natsumi looked at Ishino next to her and asked.

"I have no problem, but what time is it specifically at night and how do I get there?" Ishino nodded and immediately confirmed with Sonoko.

"Mr. Michowaki made an appointment with us to drive to the hotel door to pick us up at 7pm. Ishino-san, you guys should have driven here in your own car, right? Just follow his car then."

"Okay, let's meet at the gate at 7 o'clock when we return to the hotel."

After listening to Sonoko's answer, Ishino was completely sure that Michioki Masahiko was the prisoner in this case. When the agreed time came, the other party would sneak into Sonoko's room to look for the non-existent evidence photos.Considering that there is no direct evidence to prove the other party's criminal behavior, the best way is to stay and catch the current situation, and he himself does not have enough reasons to stay there, so he can only let nature take its course. I believe that Grandma Yangzi is in the garden. He should be able to easily subdue the other side.

……

Because the weather was unfavorable and it started to rain heavily, the group of people returned to the hotel from the beach early, took a bath in the bathhouse, and then went back to the room to rest.

Unknowingly, the time arrived at around 7 o'clock as agreed. Sonoko, Xiaolan, Yangzi and Conan had changed their clothes and arrived at the gate 10 minutes in advance, waiting for Masahiko Michowaki to appear.

"It's raining so hard, I really hope Mr. Michowaki can come here soon." Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the eaves, Sonoko said to himself anxiously.

"Don't worry Sonoko, such heavy rain will definitely affect the driving speed. I think Mr. Dowaki will be here soon." Xiaolan comforted after hearing this.

At this moment, the sliding door of the hotel was opened a small gap. The young owner of the hotel leaned out half of his body silently, put an umbrella at the door next to Yuanzi, and quickly closed it. Sliding door.

Seeing the strange behavior of the other party, Yuanzi bent down and looked at the umbrella beside him and wondered: "Is this umbrella... meant for us?"

"Maybe that big brother is interested in Sister Yuanzi." Seeing such a scene, Conan couldn't help but joked with a smirk on his late half-moon eyes.

"How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense, little devil!" Yuanzi blushed when he heard the words and remembered the series of actions the other party had just done. He subconsciously put his hand into his pocket to demonstrate his shyness, but found that there was nothing in the pocket. He said, "Oops, I forgot my wallet in the room! Please wait a moment, I will go back to the room to get it now."

"Yuanzi, let me go with you to get it." Yangzi took the initiative after hearing this.

"It's okay, it's just a few steps away. I'll just go by myself. I'll be back soon." Sonoko waved her hand sheepishly, then opened the sliding door beside her and ran toward the room.

Looking at Yuanzi's anxious departure, Yangzi hesitated for a while but still felt uneasy, and finally followed him.

And the moment Yuanzi opened the door, a black figure suddenly appeared in the dark room, seeming to be rummaging for something in the travel bag.

The man was startled for a moment when he saw someone coming back, but he quickly reacted and immediately rushed towards Yuanzi who was too frightened to speak, trying to silence him immediately.

But just as the shadow man's outstretched hand was about to reach the garden, a huge force suddenly hit his abdomen. In the next second, he felt like he was flying straight towards the balcony behind him like a cannonball. After breaking the wooden railing, he instantly lost consciousness and fell into the dark trees.
