Chapter 865 Concerned about the country and the people Bourbon
Tanaka Takahisae still has doubts about this, but Toru Amuro, who is familiar with Karasawa's nature, does not.
He was very sure that he would suddenly stand up and carry out such an operation, which showed that Tang Ze not only discovered the situation, but also had anticipated the situation, so he would not hesitate to interfere with the original party process.
So he clapped his hands before others continued to ask questions. After attracting everyone's attention, he said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Well, the tasks have been assigned, and there should be no problem now. Right? In this way, even if Mr. Nishiyama is absent, it will not have any impact on the event..."
"Hey, you also know the real name of the Escape King?" Huang Yi was surprised.
"Yes, he mentioned it to me in emails and private messages when we exchanged some issues before." Toru Amuro, who had obtained the information from others during the conversation, waved his hand, "You can also Contact him."
At this point, he glanced at the interested Tang Ze from the corner of his eyes and changed the question: "Although it is possible that he is just delayed on the road or has something to do temporarily. But, you also know, the purpose of our meeting this time..."
His tone was very solemn, and his voice became lower and lower, as if he really knew what was going on and was worried.
On the contrary, the real owner Suzuki Sonoko showed a genuine blank expression after hearing his words.
Purpose of meeting? Is there any purpose for their meeting?
"It makes sense." Huang Yi nodded and said worriedly, "The Escape King and the Shadow Mage have never been dealt with. If they meet on the road and know each other's identities in advance, some conflict will break out... Insurance For your own sake, I'd better contact you again. Thank you for the reminder."
"Don't forget the bowl in the kitchen," Amuro reminded him jokingly as he watched him with a smile.
"Don't worry. Today's young people..."
Araki first did not show any doubts about Amuro Toru's identity, and then followed his guidance to make his own The answer of starting to perform the task was completely carried away by his rhythm.
At this point, the organizer and the owner of this place have worked hard and without complaint, and others have no reason to object anymore.
As a result, everyone relaxed again and dispersed to complete their so-called tasks.
Seeing Karasawa and Toru Amuro singing along, Conan clearly arranged this group of real strangers in just a few words: "..."
What's going on? This state of suddenly taking control of the scene.
And this kind of control does not rely on cunning tactics, but a simple, strong, comfortable and confident speaker's temperament, which can easily make people who are indecisive or have no strong decision-making will follow their orders. Ideas to do things.
The two of them did not have any communication in the middle, and there were very few opportunities to even exchange glances. However, they very skillfully completed a set of operations of starting, turning, interrupting spell casting, and re-controlling. This was obviously not the first time. So coordinated.
His eyes wandered between Toru Amuro and Karasawa, and he realized belatedly that the pair of temporary guardians, who met because of Karasawa's probation, actually got along very well.
In the past, maybe the scene in the cafe was too daily and too relaxing. He was not really sure about this, but now there is no doubt about it.
He narrowed his eyes and leaned towards Tang Ze suspiciously. When Tang Ze knelt down to hear what he had to say, he reached out and suddenly pinched Tang Ze's face.
Tang Ze, who was caught off guard and was really grabbed by him, hissed: "What are you doing?"
What else can I do? I should doubt whether you are the real person...
Conan coughed and said covertly: "You have a very good relationship with Mr. Toru Amuro now. Didn't you have a period of time in the past..."
"The past was before, and the present is now." Karasawa First, he reflexively joked, and then replied seriously, "Well, my mentality was indeed different during that time. Mr. Amuro, he may have some actions that can easily be misunderstood, but he is really nice." He is a friend who is very considerate of other people’s thoughts.”
So when you hear the news about Bourbon, remember not to speculate on Toru Amuro.
Asking is to increase the difficulty of your reasoning and appropriately increase the fun of solving puzzles.
"Okay..." Conan put the question aside for the time being and asked about tonight's situation again, "You organized that person's ideas, proposed a new set of rules, and asked Xiaolan and Is Yuanzi participating because there is something fishy about this party?”
He was not a fool either. He felt that Toru Amuro's words sounded a bit deceitful, but Araki just continued the conversation and acquiesced in the hint, which actually explained the problem.
"I don't know if there is something fishy about the party, but that Hamano Toshiya and the woman named Tanaka, they have something fishy." Karasawa pointed to the girl who was abandoned on the table and no one cared about it. Pen and paper, "You have also seen their reaction, it is very unnatural, right? I guess they originally made a design similar to internal response, and created a magic trick to guess who is in each position."
Karasawa pointed to the direction Aragoshi had left and lowered his voice: "The fact that they would make such a design shows that at least one of them must be well aware of the absence of the Escape King. The chairman who determines the process is here. What roles do we need to assign to others?”
Conan nodded, agreeing with Tangze’s judgment, and his originally relaxed and leisurely mentality was readjusted to full detective mode.
He observed everyone's movements for a while, made a gesture to talk later, and ran upstairs quietly to observe the situation.
After sending away the detective who had many questions, As soon as Karasawa turned his head, Tohti Amuro slipped and grabbed him by the collar.
"Tell me, have you discovered anything after coming all the way here?"
He didn't use any personal pronouns when he asked the question, which was almost like asking Tang Ze at the same time. Each identity receives the information.
It is very possible that Tang Ze would accompany his classmates to join in the fun, but if he really wanted to join in the fun, he would not take the initiative to stand in such a conspicuous position.
"I really need your cooperation." Tangze nodded and pointed to the snow that started to fall outside the window, "If my guess is correct, the suspension bridge coming over has been destroyed. .”
————
Everyone in the villa has their own things to do. In their eyes, the disciple of the magic user who had a bye, Toru Amuro, naturally became the most idle one.
So when he heard Karasawa say this, he quickly picked up the coat that was convenient for going out, and quietly left the warm room along the side door.
Outside the villa, the snow has gradually become heavier. The cold wind mixed with snow powder blows on the face, which suddenly makes people feel like they can't open their eyes.
Toru Amuro identified the direction and quickly selected a route. He walked into the trees in front of the villa, avoided all possible sights in the villa, and walked in the direction he came from.
Not long after, I saw a line of black smoke rising straight into the sky through the wind and snow, connecting with the low black clouds.
Karasawa's judgment was very accurate. The suspension bridge they walked over when they came over was set on fire. The crumbling wooden boards and ropes were constantly broken by the fire and scattered into the deep valley below.
There is indeed a conspiracy in this party. There is no doubt about it. Toru Amuro frowned very hard when he got the answer.
"Hey, Zero? You came out very fast." He was staring with a heavy face when a slightly surprised voice sounded behind him.
There is no need to look back, he also knows that this is Matsuda Jinpei.
"Karasawa is quite efficient this time..." Matsuda Jinpei looked down at the message he had sent less than three minutes ago, then looked at the suspension bridge in front of him that was about to break, and muttered to himself. Not long after he informed him of the situation he had observed, Zero actually ran over. When had Tang Ze reported the information in such a timely manner?
Instinctively wary of the sudden appearance of the person, Toru Amuro retracted his gaze for a moment, relaxed again, and stared at the bridge ahead that had no possibility of passage, with a dark expression.
"Don't worry, since we have prepared in advance, we will definitely not be trapped here..." Matsuda Jinpei felt that he was probably worried about what was about to happen. , a word of relief.
It must be said that this time the murderer had prepared a timer ignition device in advance and was very determined to commit the crime.
"How could you set a fire in a place like this?" Toru Amuro's expression did not soften at all. "This is winter, and open fires can easily cause mountain fires. Mountain fires can burn for a day or two."
< br>No matter who did it for whatever reason, it was so unethical!
"...Is this your point?" Matsuda Jinping's mouth twitched.
He began to agree with Karasawa's statement. In the past few years of working alone, his friend, who had a relatively smooth personality, was probably depressed to some extent by the undercover work of having to do dirty work. Going to another extreme of worrying about the country and the people...
Well, the bourbon that is worried about the country and the people can make a bartender laugh to death.
"What else?" Toru Amuro looked back at him strangely, "Although this valley is quite deep, you all followed quietly, so you must have your own transportation."
As long as there is As long as the means of transportation is not a two-wheeled bicycle, Toru Amuro will always have a way to get back.
Matsuda Jinpei’s brows jumped sharply: “Just in case, we came here by car...”
“That would be more convenient. Look at the angle of this cliff, it’s slightly If you clean up the ramp and rush over directly, the acceleration distance will be no problem." Toru Amuro glanced at two suitable locations.
“Huh? Are you going to drive directly through the valley?”
"What's wrong? If you are worried, you can ask Hagi. He may be more skilled than me."
I feel that this sentence is full of flaws, but after thinking about it carefully, it is really true Unable to refute, Matsuda Jinpei: "..."
————
"What, the phone is not working?"
"Yeah, it looks like it can't be connected at all. ." Huang Yi glanced at the snow that was getting heavier outside the window, "Maybe it's because of the weather change, maybe the line is damaged somewhere..."
"What about the mobile phone? It doesn't work either?" Hamano Toshiya frowned.
"No, the signal is very bad and the phone call cannot be dialed. Maybe the base station is also affected." Huang Yi shook his head again.
"It's troublesome now. I don't know how long the repair will take..."
When Toru Amuro returned to the warm room again, it was this discussion that he heard.
Obviously, everyone is aware of the uneasy situation that is about to come, and they are gathering together to discuss and try to ease the uneasy mood.
Unfortunately, all he brought back was bad news.
"It's more than that. I saw it was snowing heavily, and I was worried about damage to the suspension bridge, so I went over to check it out." Toru Amuro took off his coat covered in snow powder, adding more interesting content to their conversation. The disturbing news, "I don't know if someone did it intentionally or if a wildfire broke out accidentally and the suspension bridge was burned down."
"Huh?"
"What? This..."
Seeing the commotion among them, Toru Amuro did not speak immediately, but glanced at Karasawa first.
With people from the Phantom Thieves assisting in the investigation, and with Karasawa's own ability to extract information, he believed that the deep-seated interpersonal relationships behind this gathering might have been completely seen through.
With this glance, he was asking for the opinions of his companions.
Whether to appease their emotions, or to take this opportunity to directly detonate the problem and spread the problem for everyone to see, it depends on Tang Ze's understanding of this crucial "Shadow Mage" At what point?
Tang Ze narrowed his eyes, did not avoid his gaze, and nodded unconsciously.
This is what it means to have a problem.
After receiving the signal, Toru Amuro immediately adjusted his expression, showing the same fear and uneasiness, and said in a voice with hidden anger: "Could it be that one of the Shadow Mage or the Escape King did it? Everyone, although There is a conflict, but does it really have to go to this point..."
This is to continue to pile on the emotions, and it also smells like a conspiracy theory, and the focus is drawn to those who were not present. body.
Everyone present nodded, shook his head, and was confused, but they all started discussing after hearing his words.
"It's impossible, why would he do this..."
"It's hard to say, I feel like he is a bit extreme person..."
"What do you mean? Why did he do this?"
Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, Huang Yi had to speak out and tried to control the situation: "Okay, everyone, don't maliciously speculate on others. The Shadow Mage is indeed in some There was a misunderstanding, but I don’t think the matter has reached this level yet..."
"So, Mr. Ara, what is the purpose of our gathering?" Tanaka Takaki frowned delicately. , the expression of resentment was very clear, "The matter has come to this, everyone is trapped here, I think there is no need to hide it from us anymore, right?"
Huang Yize looked around and sighed helplessly: "It's not a secret, haven't you all seen it? Last month, the group had a quarrel about a certain magician. It was the old man who was once known as the escape king of Japan, Harui Fengden... "
"Oh, I've heard about this." Mao Lilan, who was eating melon on the side, clapped his hands. "The report said that he was unable to escape due to an accident during the performance last month. Magic, died accidentally while trapped in a water tank.”
"Yes, at that time, everyone was discussing the accident, and while everyone was holding their own opinions, the 'Shadow Mage' suddenly said something inexplicable..."
When he was about to continue explaining, the entrance suddenly There was a knock on the door.
"Benefit, Benefit, Benefit".
No more, no less, exactly three tones, so regular that it seems to have a certain sense of rhythm.
Araki turned his head and looked at the door, and then at the heavy snow that was already flying all over the sky outside the window. He remembered what Toru Amuro said just now about this place being an isolated island, and couldn't help but shudder. .
