Conan looked at Xinghe Tongwu who had finished the phone call, and then his eyes fell on the door.

He was sure that Xinghe Tongwu had been standing next to him during the power outage.

The subtle sound of the door closing must have been something the magician had done, just like a magic switch.

It should be said that Xinghe Tongwu has been performing magic since he took them upstairs, the magic of Shokage style.

"Were the windows here just open?" Mouri Kogoro leaned out of the window to check. "If we use the trees below as a buffer, we can jump down and escape through the back door."

"W-what's the matter?"

He and Ye found Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli, both of whom were frightened by the corpse of Ji Gong Zhanzi.

"Why does Zhanzi do it?"

"We'll go into more detail when the police come, though."

Chi Chufeng returned to the fluorescent light switch in the corridor and looked up at the light bulb on the ceiling.

"This switch seems to have been short-circuited just now," Mouri Kogoro followed. "The light bulb above has been tampered with in advance."

"Uncle Maori, brother Chichu," Conan shouted from the other side, "come here and take a look at this room."

"This is the database."

Fan Tianli explained: "It contains magic information collected by Teacher Zhengying from traveling around the world."

"It's all turned upside down."

The database is at the end of the corridor, next to Ji Gong Zhanzi's body. Chi Chufeng had not been able to go in and take a look before.

There were several rows of bookshelves placed side by side inside, but the books on them were scattered all over the floor, looking messy.

"Is there anything important here?" Mouri Kogoro asked.

"No," Fan Tianli said uncertainly, "There are basically land sales books and magazine clips on the market, and teachers often let us read them."

"Speaking of which," Mrs. Zhengying said suddenly, "there may be a document that even my wife is not allowed to see.

Every time my husband comes up with new ideas, he will record them in time, so he has a notebook full of original magic techniques called "Shadow Notes". "

"That is to say."

Mouri Kogoro touched his chin and thought: "Did Miss Zhanzi bump into the person who wanted to steal this "Shokage Notes"?"

Chapter 604 She Has Always Been Here

"Steal "Zhengying Notes"?"

"Yeah, judging from the short-circuit and power outage, it may be that the person arranged it in advance, because if someone happens to come over, pressing the switch will cause a short-circuit and power outage. At this time, you have to go to the kitchen on the first floor to pull the switch. The prisoner can take advantage of this During this time, he secretly slipped out of the window of Teacher Zhengying's room.

"But the prisoner's plan didn't work. Usually there is only my wife in this house, but today there are 9 guests. Moreover, Miss Zhanzi entered the room without touching the switch and saw the prisoner's appearance, so she was silenced. .”

"Isn't this strange?" Conan rolled his eyelids, "How do you explain Miss Zhanzi's body?"

Mouri Kogoro said: "The prisoner might still be looking for something in the database, but we came up at this time. The prisoner should have taken advantage of the power outage to move Miss Zhanzi's body to the end of the corridor and then escape from Teacher Zhengying's room. Doing it to delay time.”

"No way," Conan interrupted.

"The door of Master Zhengying's room was right next to us. If the prisoner comes, we will know anyway, right? And how can anyone dare to steal things in a place like this knowing that there are many guests? After killing someone, they continue to stay here to search. Half an hour?”

"Have I not finished speaking yet?" Mouri Kogoro snorted, "Generally speaking, we can only think about it this way, but if Mr. Galaxy is the prisoner who turns on the switch and causes the power outage, the situation will be different."

"Huh?" Xinghe was stunned.

"That's right, when there is a power outage, if you stay here, you can drag Zhanzi's body hidden in the database to the corridor in the dark, and return to Chi Chusang and the others before the lights come on."

"Uncle Maori," Conan shook his head and interrupted, "I was nearby at the time, so I am very sure that Mr. Xinghe did not leave, and dragging the body out of the data room in the dark made a lot of noise, and the window was originally There's moonlight, there's no way we can't miss it. -"

"That's right," He Ye followed, "When the power went out, Xiaolan and I were right behind, so I'm pretty sure he didn't leave!"

Mouri Kogoro's expression turned even worse, as if someone owed money.

"Let's not talk about it for now." Conan asked about Mrs. Zhengying's condition at the time of the incident, then turned to Fan Tianli and said, "Mr. Fan Tianli, where were you when the power went out?"

"I have been sleeping in the room downstairs of this database, and then my wife came to ask me to eat." Fan Tianli said.

"Just downstairs from the database?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Fan Tianli with some suspicion, "Could it be that you killed Miss Zhanzi and escaped through the window downstairs?"

"Didn't I tell you everything?" Fan Tianli said angrily, "My wife just came to call me when there was a power outage. I happened to be lying on the sofa and waited for about a minute before the call came. Moreover, the window of the database is so small, it is impossible. In and out!”

It didn't take long for the police to arrive at Zhengying's house. Officer Mu Mu was relieved when he saw Chi Chufeng at the scene.

"So," Memu asked Mrs. Masekage, "is there anyone who is jealous or resentful of Master Masekage? Knowing that his wife lives alone and is familiar with the internal environment of this home, it is very likely that such a person will commit a crime.

The notebook of the missing Mr. Zhengying will be priceless as long as it is used in magic performances. Think about it carefully, has anyone like this come here? "

"My husband is not the kind of person who finds people to resent, but." Mrs. Zhengying hesitated.

"A few days ago, a few strange guests came one after another, and they seemed to know about my husband's notes."

"A few strange guests?" Mu Mu's eyes lit up, "Do you remember them? What they probably look like."

"It's not a guest," Chi Chufeng concluded directly, "the murderer is among us."

"what?"

Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli focused their attention on Chi Chufeng at the same time.

"What, what do you mean?"

"Lord Chichu," Mumu blinked and said blankly, "We have found broken branches in the trees below, as well as traces of wiped footprints, just under the window of Master Zhengying's room."

"It's just a simple disguise," Chi Chufeng smiled softly, "Actually, the real prisoner has been staying here. What we see is just what the prisoner wants to show us, just like a magic show, right? , Mr. Xinghe?”

"Chichusang?" He Ye said with wide eyes, "But Mr. Xinghe has been standing in front of us."

"The ground was indeed with us when the power went out, but wasn't Miss Zhanzi killed for more than half an hour? It was enough to set up the scene, including the fake trick of the prisoner escaping through the window."

"Then what happened to Miss Zhanzi's body? It couldn't have been moved by oneself, right?"

"The body has always been here."

Chi Chufeng walked past Kogoro Mouri with a bad face.

Chapter 605 A beautiful night has fallen

"The murderer was in a hurry. In fact, if you carefully investigate the scene of the first crime and the murder weapon, you can easily find the problem. Everyone is just entangled in the mystery of the sudden appearance of the body. As long as the mystery is solved, it will be alright."

Chi Chufeng said slowly.

"Lord Chichu has already deduced it?" Police Department Mumu asked quickly.

"This is a house built by a magician. It doesn't really make sense to say that the corridors were made so narrow just because they don't understand architecture."

Chi Chufeng walked outside Mr. Zhengying's room and opened the door again.

"The door doesn't open all the way, but it's sitting right against the wall at a 45-degree angle, and don't you think it's too thick?"

"This is it." Mouri Kogoro's eyelids twitched, and he immediately rushed to the door. Sure enough, he found that the door was much thicker than normal, and there was a vertical seam in the middle of the side of the door.

After a little effort, the door actually separated from the middle, becoming an ordinary door on the inside and a mirrored door on the outside.

The mirror at the mirror door handle can be moved and closed from here to the ordinary door.

"Could it be?"

"That's right, it's mirror reflection."

Chi Chufeng took the lead and walked into the room, raised his head and looked at the folded curtain on the ceiling.

"The distance between the curtain and the wall, and the curtain just reaching the length of the front wall, and the wall wardrobe door, which is the same as the database door. These are all specially designed. When the curtain is put down, does it look like a corridor?"

Chi Chufeng moved the cabinet where the phone was placed, moved it to a floor-to-ceiling window against the wall, and blocked the lower half of the floor-to-ceiling window.

He took out a vase with the same shape and pattern as the vase in the corridor from the cabinet, and finally lowered the curtain.

Mu Mu watched Chi Chufeng's movements in stunned silence. In a moment, another corridor was actually arranged.

"Could it be that the false corridor in the room is emitted through the mirror? But can it really be done?"

"Of course, won't you know if you try it?" Chi Chufeng exited the room and smiled.

"These arrangements were specially designed by the missing Mr. Zhengying to perform magic. They should have been tested countless times. In addition, the light in the corridor is dim, so they can almost look fake and real. You can't find them without paying special attention. However, there are still shortcomings after all."

"shortcoming?"

"It's just a shadow. If the window is not covered, the angle of the moonlight will be different, and the direction of the shadow will of course be different."

Chi Chufeng opened the mirror door against the corridor wall. The specially designed mirror door immediately became integrated with the wall and ceiling. The fake corridor replaced the real corridor and appeared in front of everyone.

"So what we saw when we came here was a fake corridor. After the power outage, we saw the real corridor with Miss Zhanzi's body. Mr. Xinghe took advantage of us to check the body and called the police to restore the layout of the room."

Chi Chufeng said and looked at Mrs. Zhengying.

"Madam, you should know right away that Mr. Xinghe is a prisoner, right? Because Mr. Zhengying has used this place to perform magic before, and there are photos of that time in the album."

Mrs. Zhengying hesitated and avoided looking, glancing at the silent Xinghe Dougo behind her.

"Enough is enough."

Xinghe Tongwu lowered his head.

"Just like Lord Chichu said, I was just impulsive. If you check the blood stains, the evidence should be everywhere. It is completely different from when you perform magic..."

"Galaxy?"

"After I heard Zhanzi mention the magic of the witch's resurrection, I immediately knew that it was an idea she copied from the teacher's notes. The magic that was banned because it was too dangerous was the devil's resurrection."

"No way?" Mu Mu said speechlessly, "You just want to copy the teacher's creativity, so you're going to kill her?"

"She probably doesn't know," Mrs. Zhengying explained, "when everyone decided to give up this magic, my husband had not accepted her as his disciple."

"Yes," Xinghe Tongwu looked back at Zhanzi's body.

"My wife said that the notebook was in the database just to protect me. In fact, the teacher had always carried it with him. 10 years ago, the teacher went out to look for the notebook because he couldn't find it, and he never came back.

"So I thought it was strange, so I called her into the teacher's room."

Mumu left with Xinghe Tongwu. Before leaving, he thanked Chi Chufeng very sincerely, which made Maori 2.8 Kogoro very satisfied.

"Congratulations, Akachu-san," Mouri Kogoro said, "Another case has been solved."

"It's not something to be happy about."

Chi Chufeng looked at Mrs. Zhengying and Fan Tianli who looked downcast, and sighed.

He watched silently as Xinghe Tongwu was taken into the police car.

Xinghe Tongwu completely lost the charm of a well-known and popular magician, only with a touch of sadness and relief.

The Maori family went back, and Chichufeng took Yuanshan and Ye back home.

Beautiful night has fallen.

Chapter 606: A beautiful woman who likes dissection

The Tokyo Metropolitan Inspection Medical Center is a forensic institution established to deal with unnatural deaths occurring in 23 wards of Tokyo.

The medical hospital occupies a vast area and is almost an independent large hospital.

And it is an independent hospital that exists specifically for forensic identification.

Chi Chufeng followed a receptionist into the main building of the medical hospital.

The forensic doctors dispatched for each case seemed to be the supervisory doctors of the case investigation class of the Supervisory Medical College, but this time he had to contact the doctors of the anatomy class.

This visit was proposed by Haihara Ai. She always had some strange interests.

"Will you watch the live autopsy today?" Xiao Ai asked.

"do not know."

Chi Chufeng shook his head.

Xiao Ai was looking forward to it and even dressed up before coming.

Her wavy hair was tied back and she wore a baseball cap. She looked like a young version of the concubine Yingli and her lawyer.

"Even if there is an on-site autopsy, it is impossible to let children in, right?" Chi Chufeng secretly complained, "But, Xiao Ai, why are you dressed like this today?"

"Didn't my sister always want me to change my hairstyle? So I changed it." Xiao Ai observed the medical hospital building.
