Chapter 944: One of Three Dead Persons PredestinedThe three magicians at the scene were stunned and speechless.
They are all magicians and basically know the routines, but the key is that they have no idea how Fujino did it.
The most intuitive feeling is: What kind of magic is this? It's clearly magic, right?
Just clap your hands and you will get what you want.
This is terrible.
Being able to achieve this effect means that the opponent's magic skills are far more advanced than yours.
"Detective Fujino is actually the apprentice of Kuroba Toichi..."
Xinghe Tongwu was calmer than the other two and asked curiously, "How come I have never heard of it?"
Fujino explained calmly, "He died eight years ago. Although we don't know whether he is dead or not, he has definitely disappeared without a trace. Most of the people who have inherited our lineage are not magicians, so naturally few people know about it."
There are indeed no magicians. They are all actors, cadres of mysterious organizations, thieves wanted worldwide, and detectives.
"It seems we are about the same."
Xinghe Tongwu laughed and said, "My master is Zhengying. He also disappeared suddenly ten years ago. We still don't know where he went."
"He might be hiding somewhere."
The bearded man next to him teased, and then introduced himself to Fujino: "My name is Fan Tianli, and I'm also a disciple of Master Zhengying... Speaking of a young magician like you, the last time I saw him was Xinghe... By the way, are you interested in performing a four-person magic show with us?"
"Forget about it. I'm best at practical close-up magic and making things appear out of thin air." Fujino shook his head slightly, not interested in it. "As for large-scale magic, I haven't learned anything like that."
"Then there are three of us..."
Fan Tianli stroked his beard and said, "If there are three of us, it will feel a bit out of place. How about we invite Sanada Kazuzo who is as famous as Xinghe... I have already thought of a name. Let's call it the Magical Performance of the Four Heavenly Kings of Magic."
"The key is whether he will accept it or not?"
Xinghe Tongwu then mentioned: "Although we are all magicians, we don't know him."
"Let's forget about this for now. It doesn't matter even if there are three people. They are just extras anyway. Let's talk about this after we go to Mr. Zhengying's house."
Fan Tianli said, turning to look at Fujino and the others: "By the way, do you guys want to go together?"
"Ok?"
Fujino was puzzled when he heard this: "Is it appropriate for us to go?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about that."
Fan Tianli laughed heartily and said, "After all, we are all magicians in the same profession, so it's a good opportunity for us to exchange our experiences in magic. Besides, we will be performing magic after dinner, and it would be a shame if there were no audience."
After a pause, he continued, "Of course. Actually, today is the day that Teacher Zhengying disappeared for ten years. With a detective like you here, you may be able to find some clues in Teacher Zhengying's home."
"is it?"
Fujino narrowed his eyes and felt like he was going to die.
…………
The group arrived at the magician Zhengying's house.
The one who greeted everyone was Zhengying's wife, Zhengying Manli, a middle-aged woman with a face full of wrinkles.
MR. Zhengying has three disciples, namely Xinghe Tongwu, Fan Tianli, and the woman named Himimiya Shouko whose cigar turned into a rose.
Xinghe Dougo has a more easy-going personality and seems like a good person, Fan Tianli is almost like a passionate uncle with a quirky personality, and Himimiya Shouko is a bit tricky and self-centered.
Okay, now that the four of us are together, it’s time to choose one from the three, right?
Fujino showed dead fish eyes, looking at the people in front of him and thinking silently in his mind:
Judging from the current situation, there is no contradiction among these four.
However, the clues of his personality should be revealed. Himemiya Nobuko is definitely the victim this time. As for the murderer, it is still unclear.
Among the several disciples, Fan Tianli is the most filial one. Since Zhengying disappeared, he has come to Zhengying's house almost every year on this day, hoping to see his teacher come back.
But there has been no news for ten years.
Fujino also felt a little confused about this matter.
Judging from these people's descriptions, Zhengying should have disappeared after going out ten years ago. No accident happened. He truly disappeared from the face of the earth.
This way of disappearance is really too strange.
Fujino thought that this Zhengying might also be involved in some mysterious organization, and then disappeared just like Heiba Toichi?
But it has little to do with him.
Xinghe Tongwu looked at the familiar house and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Come to think of it, the three of us used to receive special training from our teacher here. It has been several years since we have been together."
"yes……"
Zhengying Manli nodded and said, "But speaking of which, Xinghe, you used to come here to play when you were a child before you became my disciple. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big."
"By the way, Mr. Xinghe should be 28 years old."
Yuanshan Heye suddenly mentioned this: "If it was when they were young, then wouldn't Mr. Xinghe be Mr. Zhengying's eldest disciple?"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha with resentment: "How do you know him so well? You even know how old he is?"
Yuanshan Heye showed dead fish eyes: "Because it is written in the character introduction of the magic show just now, did you read it carefully?"
“Who would pay serious attention to this kind of stuff?”
Fujino glanced back at Kazuha and Hattori, feeling a little helpless.
These two have always been like this, noisy and quarrelsome, more than friends but less than lovers.
If things had developed normally, these two should have come together long ago.
It's a pity that a certain old thief is causing trouble and he always has to come up with some new tricks every time.
For example, if you are too frightened and hug someone's arm to your chest, or let someone take advantage of you in some way to make Conan or Hattori jealous, it would be disgusting.
The same is true for Xiaolan.
At least when he is present, these mysterious operations will be actively interrupted by him before the spell is cast.
Just as Hattori and Kazuha were arguing and Fujino was thinking, Himimiya Tenko suddenly spoke up: "But it's just a title after all. Who is the eldest disciple or something like that, in the end it all depends on one's own ability, to surpass the teacher in terms of magic!"
After a pause, she said confidently, "When we have the joint performance, I will perform a magic trick as the finale!
"I set up a huge cross in front of the crowd, tied myself to it, poured gasoline into the firewood underneath, and disappeared before the cross was completely burned. Then I suddenly appeared from the ashes of the burnt firewood!"
"I've already thought of a name for this super magic trick. It's called Witch's Resurrection!"
Himimiya Nobuko was speaking proudly when the atmosphere around her suddenly became strange.
Fan Tianli, Xinghe Tongwu, and Zhengying Manli were all looking at her with strange and surprised eyes.
It's like looking at a fool.
Fujino glanced around at everyone and finally fixed his eyes on her.
Here it comes, the classic killing part!
