Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

"Could it be that the shadow mage has already sneaked into the villa and cut the telephone line while we were all at the door? Cutting the telephone line and burning the suspension bridge, is he planning to trap us in this desolate mountain!!"

Kuroda Naoko's face turned pale. The young woman had never seen such a scene before. She was not a Japanese. The murders she had seen were usually reported in the news and newspapers. This was her first time experiencing it in person.

The other people also had surprised expressions and looked around the living room.

The living room was extremely quiet, with only the crackling of the stove bringing a hint of warmth.

"I think Sister Kikue Tanaka should be able to explain this, right?" Conan spoke softly, walked out from behind the sofa, holding the camera like a victorious rooster, his eyes fixed on Kikue Tanaka.

"Little brother, what are you talking about? I was at the door just now, so I don't know why the phone line was cut."

"When we went out just now, Aniya left the camera in the living room. The recording function was on. Sister Tanaka, do you think the camera wouldn't capture anything?"

Conan showed a frightened expression and continued: "It's the scene where Sister Tanaka cut the telephone line.

But why?

Why did Sister Tanaka do this?

Could it be that you are the Shadow Mage?"

"How, how is this possible? My online name is Ikasama Douji, how could the shadow wizard be me?" Tanaka Kikue almost couldn't control her expression and cursed. What camera? Is this a toy for children?

"Then how do you explain this video of Sister Kikue Tanaka? She deliberately cut the phone line. No normal person would do that."

Conan put the camera on the table and let everyone watch the moment of Tanaka Kikue's social death.

After the video ended, everyone looked at Tanaka Kikue strangely.

Tanaka Kikue pretended to be calm, looking around, unable to think of a reasonable explanation for a moment, so she simply started to play it off: "Cutting the phone line does not mean that I am the Shadow Mage. You have no evidence."

Kaito knew this was an opportunity, so he took a deep look at Conan and continued, "In fact, before I joined the chat room, I already knew Ikasama Douji, and I knew exactly who he was - you are not him!"

"How is this possible!" Tanaka Kikue almost collapsed. What was going on? Accidents kept happening one after another. Could it be that she forgot to check the almanac before going out today?

Chapter 160 Looking for Evidence

"In fact, the reason why I entered the chat room was that I first met Ikasama Tongzi on the Internet. He invited me to the chat room, so I knew his identity."

"Who is he?" Xia Chuan asked.

Kaito liked Natsukawa’s question and continued, “He is the veteran magician who died a month ago—Harui Fuden.

As for you, Ms. Kikue Tanaka, according to the information I found, you should be the granddaughter of Mr. Harui Fuden, right?

The reason I attended the party this time was to understand why the Ikasama Douji account was still active after Mr. Harui Fuden's death. "

Tanaka Kikue was silent for a while, then spoke in a low voice: "It's true that Harui Fuden is my grandpa, and it's also true that the account was his before, but that doesn't mean I'm the Shadow Mage! It only means that I inherited my grandpa's nickname Ikasama Douji, and the Shadow Mage and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Tanaka, you..." Hamano Toshiya's face turned pale. He had already guessed the identity of the next victim.

If Tanaka Kikue is Harui Fuden's granddaughter, then the other party must know that he had mocked Harui Fuden in the chat room.

The other person who mocked Chunjing Fengchuan was the Escape King, and now he is dead.

If Doi Takeki had not revealed Tanaka Kikue's identity, he would probably have been the next person to die.

Everyone in the living room took a step back and kept a distance from Tanaka Kikue. If she was the murderer, who knows what weapon she might have hidden on her body, and now that she was exposed, she might go crazy and kill someone.

“I checked the chat records in the chat room and found that the reason why Mr. Harui Fuchuen, who has retired, returned to acting was because of a chat in the chat room.

Then, just a month ago, Mr. Harui Fuchuen made a comeback to perform magic, but due to his old age or a mistake, he failed and died unexpectedly.

The matter should have ended here, but some people in the chat room didn't seem to be happy with Harui Fuden's comeback and mocked him in the chat room after his death.

Is that why you killed someone?"

Kaito is indeed a super genius with an IQ of 400. He analyzed the entire case thoroughly in just a short time.

The "some people" he mentioned were none other than the escape king Nishiyama Mu and Hamano Toshiya who was also in the living room.

Conan frowned as he looked at Doi Takeshu who was performing.

Damn it, someone else solved the case first!

But there is no other way. The people in the chat room know more about the case from the beginning. If he were also in the chat room, he would definitely be faster than this Doi Takeshu!!

Tanaka Kikue was speechless for a long time, and she opened her mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

She was unable to refute Kaito's reasoning, but she had no intention of admitting that she was a shadow mage and flatly denied that she was a shadow mage.

Conan and Kaito were troubled by the fact that they had no direct evidence that the other was a shadow mage. There was nothing they could do at this time. When there was no evidence, all reasoning could only be inference.

"Why don't we go to Miss Tanaka's room? If the Shadow Mage wants to continue committing crimes, he must have a careful plan. If Miss Tanaka is the Shadow Mage, then we must be able to find something in her room, such as the tools used to commit crimes."

Natsukawa's proposal was supported by others, and Conan nodded repeatedly. Uncle Natsukawa was still reliable at critical moments.

"Everyone go check it out, I'll stay here to watch over Miss Tanaka." Xu Jian, a part-time worker who had been silent from beginning to end, suggested.

"That's fine." Huang Yize nodded in agreement. Tanaka Kikue must not be taken along. It would be quite troublesome if the other party suddenly attacked and destroyed the evidence.

It is a good idea to stay downstairs and have someone supervise you.

The second floor.

At the door of Kikue Tanaka's room.

Considering that almost everyone at the scene was a member of the chat room, Xiaolan was the only outsider except for the children.

Therefore, as an outsider, Xiaolan was sent into the room to check, so as to ensure the frame-up to the greatest extent.

"Be careful and stay safe." Xia Chuan reminded.

He remembered that Tanaka Kikue seemed to have brought a crossbow. This thing was a bit dangerous and it was easy to cause accidental injury if one was not careful.

"I understand." Xiaolan nodded seriously.

The villa is probably not occupied permanently and is simply furnished with a bed, a wardrobe, a table, and a suitcase that must have been brought by Tanaka Kikue herself.

Xiaolan searched carefully and soon found the suspicious items.

The quilt on the bed was turned over, and a crossbow with a silver-white metal appearance was placed on the bed.

"This is..." Xiaolan reached out and picked up the crossbow.

"Be careful, the crossbow arrow is still on it." Xia Chuan reminded.

Xiaolan nodded and gently picked up the crossbow.

Suddenly, Conan's pupils shrank suddenly, as if he had discovered something, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Sister Xiaolan, be careful, the trigger of the crossbow seems to be pulling the fishing line."

Xiaolan was already a little nervous, and after Conan's yell, her hands trembled and the crossbow slipped from her hands.

The other end of the transparent fishing line on the crossbow trigger was connected to an unknown place, and the position where it fell exceeded the limit of the fishing line, causing the fishing line to become taut instantly.

The taut fishing line pulls the trigger.

call out--

The silver metal arrow was shot out from the bow, and looking at the direction, it was the people standing at the door.

Oops!

Conan and Kaito's faces changed drastically and they wanted to do something.

However, the incident happened too suddenly and they had no time to react, and they had nothing on hand that could serve as a shield.

Yuanzi stood there in a daze, his pupils dilated and his body motionless.

"Ah!!!" Yuanzi screamed in terror, her mind urging her body to take emergency shelter, but the door was full of people and she couldn't retreat at all.

At this moment, she could only raise her hands to cover her face, praying that the arrow would not hit her pretty face.

"boom!"

Yuanzi only felt the sound of wind and waited for a long time without feeling any pain. He opened his eyes and stared blankly at the closed door.

The arrow was blocked by the door at the critical moment, and the half of the arrowhead that penetrated was less than five centimeters away from her cheek. This is enough to show the power of the arrow. If the arrow hit her face, she would probably die on the spot.

"Thank you, thank you, Xiachuan brother."

"fine."

Xia Chuan waved his hand to indicate that it was not a big problem.

After opening the door, he leaned against the door panel, holding the door handle. He reacted immediately when he heard Conan's exclamation.

"Fortunately, we stopped it." Xia Chuan did not open the door immediately, but asked first: "Xiao Lan, keep some distance from the crossbow first."

To be honest, Xia Chuan was really a little scared. Xiaolan was a little too aggressive. If he hadn't been at the door just now, the garden might have been gone.

"Isn't it a repeating crossbow?" Conan also asked.

"It's all Conan's fault. You yelled too loudly just now and scared Sister Xiaolan, which led to this incident." After criticizing Conan, Anya looked at her father in admiration.

What a quick reaction speed, he is worthy of being my father, this top spy is really powerful.

Chapter 161 Heart-piercing Arrow

The door opened and Xiaolan ran out. She was so scared just now that she really didn't want to stay in the room.

"Are you okay, Sonoko?" Xiaolan spoke to comfort her good sister.

I almost sent the other person away just now, luckily Brother Xiachuan stopped it in time!

It was all Conan’s fault. This guy’s noise was the reason why she couldn’t hold the crossbow steadily. She was a little nervous to begin with, and was scared when he shouted at her.

The evidence was conclusive, and Kaito and Conan didn't care that this was the ladies' room, and they rushed in.

Anya raised her legs and tried to follow Conan, but when she reached the door, she was picked up by Natsukawa and held in his arms.

After searching the room, they found two crossbows, five metal arrows, and a pile of fishing lines of unknown use.

Conan and Kaito don't know what the specific purpose of these fishing lines is, but considering that criminals nowadays are all highly intelligent, they classify these fishing lines as auxiliary tools for committing crimes.

"Ms. Tanaka Kikue is indeed the Shadow Mage!" Conan fiddled with it and took out a dagger from Tanaka Kikue's backpack: "This knife should be the murder weapon that killed the Escape King."

"How did you know that?" Kaito asked.

"Although the blade is clean, there are a lot of bloodstains on the handle. This is obviously not noticed when wiping. Judging from the color of the bloodstains, it is no more than half a day old, so I..."

Conan paused and found that Doi Takeshu was looking at him with interest. He was suddenly confused. Oops, he got too proud of himself again.

"Little boy, you are worthy of being Kogoro Mouri's assistant. You have learned so much detective knowledge." Kaito smiled and touched Conan's head.

Conan let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed the back of his head and laughed: "Hahaha, these are all taught to me by Uncle Maori."

Then, Conan showed a curious expression: "Come to think of it, Brother Katsuki is really amazing. He actually found out the identity of Tanaka Kikue's sister in advance. Is Brother Katsuki a policeman?"

"Haha, use the reasoning knowledge that Mr. Maori taught you and try to guess."

While Aoyama's two sons were suspicious of each other, Hamano Toshiya, Kuroda Naoko and Ara Izawa all breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that I have confirmed that Kikue Tanaka is the murderer, I can finally sleep peacefully tonight.

Conan and Takeki Doi did not continue the investigation. They put the evidence they had found on the bed and locked the door after leaving.

When the police arrive, they will have to conduct an inspection, so it is best not to move too many things. Besides, the current situation is enough to prove that Kikue Tanaka is the murderer, especially the dagger. As long as the blood on the handle is tested, it will be clear who it belongs to.

As for tonight, it would be enough to lock up Kikue Tanaka.

There are so many rooms in the villa. We can just find a room to lock the person in and take turns to keep watch. Basically, there will be no problems.

"I didn't expect that Tanaka is the Shadow Mage. Then, who is she planning to attack in the villa?" Sonoko's sudden question silenced everyone.

They didn't seem to have considered this question.

Because Sonoko was the last to join the group chat, she was not clear about the previous chats with Ikasama Douji, nor did she know who the people that Doi Takeshu mentioned who mocked Harui Fuden were.

"If I'm right, it should be me!" Hamano Toshiya smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought it was just a joke in the chat room, but I didn't expect it to cause a fatal disaster."

Hamano Toshiya sighed. He never expected that a verbal attack in the chat room would lead to his own death.

"Hey, where are Sukane and Miss Tanaka Kikue?" Sonoko walked into the living room and stood there in shock, finding that the living room was empty.

As soon as these words were spoken, Conan and Kaito's expressions changed almost at the same time. Kaito, supporting a weight of 200 kilograms, quickly crossed the garden and looked towards the living room.

"Sure enough, she's gone." Kaito's expression turned from sunny to cloudy, and he quietly approached Natsukawa: "Where do you think she's going? Have you found anything?"

Natsukawa looked around the living room and stayed for a long time at the place where Tanaka Kikue was tied up.

“You should ask where they’re going.”

"What do you mean, the guy that Huang Yi Ze hired to boil water is in cahoots with Tanaka Kikue?"
