The Magician of Conan’s World

Sotaro Goji, a city councilor, was sitting in the study, a bald man with a beard, preparing materials for the next meeting.

There was a knock on the door, “Mr. Koji, I have already brewed the tea you wanted.” ”

“Come in.”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study opened, and his butler walked in with tea, neither of them knew that at the moment the door was opened, an invisible figure had flashed into the room.

The housekeeper put the teacup on the desk and was about to turn to leave, but the township councillor who was checking the information suddenly looked up at him and asked, “Is there something wrong with you?” ”

The housekeeper was slightly stunned, not knowing why he suddenly asked himself this sentence, “What’s wrong, Mr. Koji?” ”

“I should have asked you this, right? Didn’t you just pat me on the shoulder? ”

The township master looked at the housekeeper puzzled, but saw that the other party’s face was also full of doubts, so he asked: “How?” Not you? ”

“I really didn’t pat you on the shoulder.” The butler answered truthfully.

That’s strange, there is no one else here, is it too tired to work and have the illusion? Thinking of this, Sotaro Township rejuvenated his muscles, twisted his head, and said to the housekeeper: “Okay, let’s go out if it’s okay.” ”

……

The person who previously patted Sotaro Goji on the shoulder was naturally Hakuye, who sneaked into the study after stealth, left the “thing” on the other party and left.

At this time, Hakuye had come to a mountain forest with a mountain hut in front of it, and the reason why he came here was because the last person Yusuke Sakata wanted to kill was here. The man’s name was Jiichiro Numabuchi, a serial murderer, and after Sakata arrested him, he did not report to him, but privately imprisoned him intending to be his own scapegoat.

Walking into the mountain hut, it was dark inside, and the musty smell was uncomfortable.

Bai Ye scanned the entire room, then looked up at the beams and found that there were cobwebs everywhere, except for one of them, which had been destroyed. So he stepped on the windowsill and jumped on the beam, pushing the ceiling with his hand.

Sure enough, there was a hidden door here, and the wooden plank was pushed open by the white night, revealing a square entrance. When I got to the ceiling, I saw a skinny man sitting next to the pillar, his left hand handcuffed to the pillar.

“Food, give me food, I’m hungry!” The man shouted hoarsely, this person was the wanted murderer Ōichiro Numabuchi, and his unkempt hair looked very scruffy at this time.

Bai Ye did not meet his request, but hypnotized him after leaving the “thing” on him, making him forget what he had come to and leave.

All the arrangements have been completed, and then it is time for the infected to come to an end…

……

After the fact, Bai Ye called out. Knowing that they were at the municipal library, I took a taxi directly there.

Seeing Bai Ye, Xiao Wei wanted to ask how things were, but because of Xiao Lan and them, it was difficult to ask the exit. Just when she hesitated, she saw Bai Ye make an OK gesture and tell her not to worry, which was relieved.

“Bai Ye, have you seen a friend?” Xiao Lan asked curiously when she saw Bai Ye returning.

“I’ve already met my friends. Ye Ming asked knowingly: “Did the woman who ran away at the scene before find it?” ”

Xiaolan looked regretful, “We found out through the license plate number that the woman’s name was Okazaki Sumie, but after going to her house, we found that she had been killed, and the same knife pierced through her wallet into the heart.” ”

Bai Ye nodded slightly, and then asked, “Why did you come to the library?” ”

Koran explained that they found that the first killed Nagao Hideto, the second killed Nishiguchi Tayo, the third killed Noyasu Kazuto, and the just killed Okazaki Sumie studied at the same driving school 20 years ago and were still students of the same coach.

“In addition to these four, the coach has two students.” Xiao Moi followed several people and also heard some clues: “One is Sotaro Goji, a member of the City Council, and the other is the fugitive murderer Jiichiro Numabuchi.” ”

In order to find out what happened 20 years ago, Conan and Hattori came to the library to check the materials, while the two were sitting in front of the computer and flipping through the old newspapers.

“Hattori, look at this!” Conan suddenly shouted, and Heiji ran over from the other side.

Bai Ye also rushed over and found that the newspaper from twenty years ago registered a news: the driving school instructor died in a drunken driving accident.

From the report, it can be learned that the car accident occurred on the day the six students graduated, and the instructor who had the accident was named Toruharu Inaba, a well-known devil instructor at the driving school, and usually did not allow students to make a little mistake in training.

Seeing this report, a smile appeared at the corner of Pingji’s mouth, “Eh – it’s suspicious that such a strict coach drove drunk and died in a car accident…”

“Maybe this coach was killed by someone.” Conan speculated the same.

Referring to the murder, Heiji analyzed: “There are two possibilities, recently the township councilor was about to participate in the election, maybe the fugitive Numbuchi asked him for asylum and was refused, so he killed the former accomplice to threaten him; It may also be that the township councillor took the initiative to buy the former accomplices of the swamp to achieve the purpose of killing people and extinguishing people. ”

This is very plausible, because the wallet of the deceased who was pierced with a knife contained a driver’s license.

“Anyway, let’s go meet this township councilor first!” Kogoro finalized the itinerary.

……

When he came to the township mansion and was taken to the hall by the housekeeper, everyone found that there were already many policemen here. They also found out that they had come to find out about twenty years ago, but they were left hanging in the hall, waiting for more than an hour, and the parliamentarian still refused to show up in the study.

If it were an ordinary person, the police would have broken in a long time ago, but the other party was a parliamentarian, and there was no clear evidence that Sotaro Township committed a crime, so they had nothing to do.

After waiting for a while, Yusuke Sakata said that he was going to the bathroom, and left the hall, knowing that he was going to kill the fifth person.

As Haku Ye knew, instead of going to the bathroom, Sakata went to the warehouse through the back door, because he had already threatened the councillor to wait for him in the warehouse with the events of twenty years ago.

“Dad… I’m going to avenge you. Sakata silently clenched the knife in his hand.

……

At the same time, Heiji sat on the sofa in the hall and waited impatiently, casually picking up the photos of the driving school graduating class that he had printed out during the survey. I didn’t pay attention when I looked at it before, but now I find that the coach in the photo is very familiar, and it seems to have seen it somewhere.

Wait a minute! If this person wears glasses…

A terrible thought appeared in Heiji’s mind, causing him to gasp.

“Uncle! What about Sakata? Heiji jerked up from the couch and almost shouted.

Kogoro was stunned, “I heard him go to the bathroom.” ”

“Oops!” Heiji shouted: “Butler, go and see if the councillor is in the study, I’m afraid things will be troublesome!” ”

Bai Ye didn’t expect Heiji to find the problem at this juncture, but it didn’t matter, because he was still one step late. _
