Chapter 867 Kuroba Kaito: Can’t you just box others in?
"The situation is terrible..."
The unyielding Huangyi returned with determination, took out the cigarette case heavily, looked at the minors at the table, and then reluctantly Put the cigarette back.
"The trouble has been completely investigated by the police..." Naoko Kuroda glanced at Detective Hakuba, who was calmly waiting on the eagle, and turned to look at Aragori, who had a sad face, " Can you tell me the purpose of this gathering now?”
“It’s the same as what the detective just said, after Harui Fuden died during the performance, the Shadow Master said it was us. "It's my responsibility." Huang Yi breathed out and stopped being secretive. "When we were discussing half a year ago, the atmosphere was actually very lively. Everyone was happily discussing his past escape shows, but whether he still has it I hope there will be differences in performance again..."
"Oh, it was that time." Naoko Kuroda nodded, frowning and thinking, "There have been discussions for many days about whether he can maintain the level of the past. Some people say that his skills have not deteriorated, but after all As I get older, it is too difficult to reproduce such an operation. Some people think that Harui Fuden has been performing for a lifetime, and even if he is no longer at his peak, it is still possible if he concentrates on completing a performance..."
< br>Speaking of this, she thought of Shadow Mage's indignant remarks, and her face didn't look good.
This person would so categorically believe that it is the responsibility of their group, and even go so far as to kill people for it. It is very possible. Harujing Fengden suddenly decided to perform this thing again, which is the same as the one half a year ago. This discussion has some relevance.
"It seems that you understand my thoughts." Huang Yi shook his head heavily, with a solemn and uneasy look on his face, "I was very concerned about his statement before, so I asked Mr. Nishiyama After a discussion, I checked the people who participated in the discussion half a year ago to see if anyone suspected of Mr. Harui was involved, but as you know, it is also difficult to figure out whether it is the person who is just relying on the online account, and Or, the record of someone's discussion was shown to him..."
"Is the purpose of your gathering this time just to figure this out?" Suzuki Sonoko thought with her chin in her hands. Confused and said, "But..."
"But when we discussed this matter half a year ago, the 'Shadow Mage' hadn't joined the group yet, right?" Toru Amuro took over her words smoothly to avoid unnecessary confusion about his identity, "How did he know about it half a year ago?" It's a matter of fact. Is he a real friend or relative of Mr. Harui Fuden?"
Suzuki Sonoko looked at him in surprise.
Of course she knew about this herself, but she did not talk to Amuro Toru in advance, so Amuro Toru's words were simply based on his own guessing or investigation.
"No wonder he would open a detective agency." Suzuki Sonoko whispered to Mao Lilan, "Maybe when Akechi-kun completed the commission, a lot of the information Mr. Amuro collected for him..."
Tang Ze, who was distractedly observing the White Horse Detective, cast an approving look at her.
Don't say it yet, don't say it yet...
Aranyi, who has no doubts about him, nodded and confirmed Amuro Toru's statement: "It's indeed strange, so I wanted to hold a party. On the one hand, It is indeed time to have some offline activities. On the other hand, Mr. Nishiyama and I both feel that the only way to confirm the situation and clear up all the misunderstandings is to call both of us to the scene..."
After patting his forehead, Aragi finally showed a tired and slightly sad expression.
Nishiyama Wu, the escape king who manages the group, has known him as netizens for many years. This group occupies a large proportion in his life, although they are only separated by the Internet. Netizens who have never met before are also friends who have been together for a long time.
The offline gathering held to resolve misunderstandings seemed to have turned out to be a reminder for friends, and also led to danger to other innocent netizens. Araki's self-blame was palpable.
The people at the table sighed, and the atmosphere was heavy. Tang Ze, who was not emotionally carried away at all, touched his chin and said in deep thought: "But, even if you find out who the Shadow Mage is, what will happen? What if he If his statement is true, then although his expression is a bit extreme, there is no big loophole in his logic. "
Harui Fuden decided to try the escape show again because of their discussion, and then performed it. Unfortunately killed.
Of course this was due to his own imprudence, and the magician should indeed bear responsibility for the risks of his performance, but it is also reasonable for the family to be angry at their online discussion group.
"It won't be a big deal." Detective White Horse put Watson back on his shoulder and told the truth calmly, "Because everyone just moved their fingers and typed some words in front of the computer and mobile phone. You haven't even met him in person, so how can you connect the death of a magician you don't know with him? This is the horror of the Internet."
"You..." Huang Yi asked. Brow, "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that if everything is really like this, then we should make a formal statement and apology, and we should also limit such discussions in the future..."
Baima smiled and reached out to wipe away the water stains on the eagle's beak: "Now is no longer an era where rules can control people's hearts. If there were less violence on the Internet, those wishing websites, curse websites, heart-wrenching websites, etc. How come things like monster thieves are so popular? You'd better make plans early, Mr. Huang. "
Huang Yi choked on his words, but thought of Harujing who died tragically in the water tank. Rumor has it that he really has nothing to say.
There were some obscure speculations that he did not say out loud, but with the development of the matter now, it is basically certain that the shadow mage's emotions will develop to the point where he kills people in anger. I am afraid that this may be due to the group's unfriendly attitude toward Harujing Fengden. Evaluation is inseparable.
The Escape King is not a bad person, but his speaking style is indeed a bit mean, and he is also a very realistic and cold guy in his behavior. If the Shadow Mage was hurt by the other party's words, so...
< br>"I'm going to smoke a cigarette." Huang Yi couldn't help it anymore, grabbed the cigarette case, stood up and left the living room in a bit of embarrassment.
After he left, the atmosphere among others became even more silent.
Baima Tan took his eyes away from Huang Yinori, who was walking away in a hurry, and began to look at the other people at the table.
All the group members around the table showed more or less nervousness and depression, and everyone's body language had some changes.
"...I, I'll finish boiling the bath water." Tanaka Takahisa released her tightly squeezed hands, hid the palms with several nail marks, and also stood up and left. , "Anyway, police support won't arrive until tomorrow morning, right?"
She forced a smile and walked towards the bathroom.
"Miss Tanaka is very responsible, but it seems that there is no need to continue with my mission." Naoko Kuroda shook her head, "No one needs to perform anymore, right?"
Kuroba Kuai Dou curled his lips, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Hamano Toshiya looked around nervously, and after realizing that everyone's focus was not on him, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking that there was no need to write down that disgusting review, he couldn't help but feel sincerely happy.
Just worrying about Shadow Mage's problems is already stressful, and he doesn't want to make his already precarious mental state worse.
"Ahem, let me go and help." Knowing that the occasion was not appropriate, he was embarrassed to show his emotions, so he had to clear his throat, think for a while, and walked in the direction of Aragi Norori.
Originally, they had a cocktail party to attend after the meal. During the performance at the banquet, others could taste wine, eat some side dishes, and spend a pleasant and leisurely night, so Huang Yi was They have drinks ready. The situation is different now, but the cocktail party may continue to be held. There will always be someone who needs something to drink to calm down the shock, so he plans to catch up with Ara Yoshinori and inquire about the issue of Shadow Mage. How much do they know.
After all, right, Pani, who disappeared, was also a famous intersex person in the group...
These serious people related to the party left one by one, and Baima Tan's eyes moved around the remaining people at the table, and stopped on Tang Ze again.
Tangze, who was obviously the target of his suspicion, was not afraid and responded to his gaze with a calm smile.
"I think these people have said some inappropriate things to some extent, so they still need to adjust their mood." Tang Ze said casually in the tone of an outsider, " As for you, Mr. Hakuba, you said you came here to find Kaitou Kidd. Where did you get the news? Now, what are your gains? Doi asked it himself. The name Doi Takesuki, which could not withstand scrutiny, would immediately attract the attention of the Hakuba detective. Karasawa, who still retained some allyship, chose to ask this question on his behalf.
"Oh, I've actually been paying attention to this group for a while. It's a coincidence." Bai Ma Tan adjusted his sitting posture, assumed a calm and relaxed posture, crossed his legs, "I don't know if it's a coincidence or something. In the past two months, Kaitou Kidd, who has always focused on gems and works of art, seems to have suddenly become interested in magicians. I traced the traces of his activities in Japan and found that he used various methods to The channel took away the common props of several deceased magicians and did not return them. This is an unusual situation. "Dead magicians, for example?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows. , controlling his gaze from drifting in the direction of the Doi Tucker tree.
This guy Kuroba Kaito is quietly causing trouble again, so the so-called investigation surrounding X Alloy he mentioned before, could this be where the raw materials came from, right?
Forget it about the time when Yuan Yasuo was ninety-nine. Tang Ze was involved that time and was aware of the situation. After that, this man went to get rid of everything...
"For example, Yasushi Kujiumoto, Toichi Kuroba, Yoshiro Kinoshita..." Detective White Horse counted a few names casually, "How should I put it, I always thought that Kaitou Kid might really work in magic-related industries, or he really He is a magician, or he has made props for magicians. In short, his technique has strong traces of magic performance, and it is quite professional and solid."
"That's why you found out. From this group?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, now he was really curious.
He was able to discover Kuroba Kaito's identity and rush to the scene to join in the fun because he was a spoiler agent. The White Horse Detective was able to raid here, so he was really quite capable.
Detective Baima shrugged and did not hesitate to share his investigation track: "Absolutely. I investigated some trends in the industry and found that although this group is not well-known, it has existed for a long time and has many professionals. Magicians will also be active here, and its influence is greater than expected. I noticed this party..."
"And then I found out that one of the participants was murdered?" Crossed hands? Toru Amuro, who was leaning against his chin, interrupted abruptly.
His tone was cold, and it could be heard that he didn't like Bai Ma Tan's style of doing things very much.
Kang Ze can completely understand.
Although it is true that he often plays roles such as detectives, Toru Amuro's self-perception is always that of a policeman, and that he is the kind of policeman who is committed to protecting world peace.
The detectives he will like must be like Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji. They are eager for justice and do not ask for anything in return. They can solve some of the more difficult problems for the police in criminal matters and can successfully save a lot of investigation time. Apart from making the police look a little stupid, everything about the police force is a good thing.
As for a detective who is the enemy of the Phantom Thief like Detective White Horse, the focus is not on the murder case at all, but on the Phantom Thief Kidd. In his eyes, it seems a bit of a waste of rice.
Not to mention, it still requires the use of police resources.
"Yes." Detective Hakuba also paid some attention to Toru Amuro. After visually measuring his height, he returned his attention. "A victim appeared. What is the meaning of this party?" It’s unusual. And I’ve discovered something else.”
His eyes moved from Karasawa to Suzuki Sonoko, and then he glanced at Doi Takuki, who was pretending to be confused. After finishing the following content: "I found that more than one common ID in this group was used fraudulently, and the information left behind was completely inconsistent with the real address. The original owners of those common IDs were all genuine Many magicians, including Harujing Fuden who died a few months ago, I have a guess..."
The white horse detective put his hands on the table, no longer hiding it, crossed the table and leaned towards Karasawa: "Kaitou Kidd, maybe like the organizer of the party, he has the idea of knowing the original owners of these IDs. Sneaking in here."
"Are you doubting me?" Tang Ze looked at him without hesitation, "Doubt it, I am Kaitou Kidd?"
"I am. Of course I'm doubting you. However, I won't give up my doubts about other people just because I doubt you." Detective Baima nodded generously, "You shouldn't be here, you are very suspicious. It's more likely that De has been in this group for a while, and he might be hiding among those guys with online names. But for now, I'm most suspicious of you."
Tang Ze. He tilted his head and controlled every muscle on his face to prevent any flaws in his micro-expressions, as if he really didn't know the identity of Doi Takesuki: "Then you are too confident, Mr. Hakuba , if I am really Kaitou Kidd, wouldn’t you just be alarming the enemy by doing this? And, with all due respect, I am still a high school student, and I was not even born when Kaitou Kidd was active.”
< br>As he spoke, Tang Ze reached out and pulled off his cheek, showing off his undisguised face.
"Don't worry, although my goal is to capture Kaitou Kidd, what I'm pursuing is a fair and just duel. If I'm worried about alerting someone, I shouldn't show up at all." White Horse leaned forward and lowered himself even further. He seemed to want to increase his sense of oppression, "As for age... Although I don't know the reason, I have a rough profile of the currently active Kaitou Kidd."
He said , raised a finger.
"I guess that Kaitou Kidd is a Japanese male, or at least one of his native languages is Japanese. He is most likely 15-18 years old, no more than 25 years old, with excellent appearance and a good life. , and there is no lack of material conditions. I have lived alone away from my parents for more than 5 years, so although I am not very old, I am very independent..."
He turned his head and glanced at the expression again. Toru Amuro, who looked like he was watching your performance, added.
"The maximum height shall not exceed 180 cm."
Kuroba Kaito, who was just about to have his ID number read out, said: "..."
When did Hakuba Detective do all these investigations?
Thinking of this, he was slightly sweaty and glared at Tang Ze resentfully.
It's all your fault. Why did you take out Akechi Goro and check the detective market when you have nothing to do? They were all ignited by Baima Tanjuan, and a fire burned him.
Moreover, thinking about that guy Kudo, and then thinking about Karasawa who openly appeared in front of him as a joker, Kuroba Kaito suddenly felt like he was some kind of detective and the gatekeeper of the novice village. Feel it.
Can't you detectives catch some other weird thieves? He's the only Phantom Thief left in Japan, right? If you have the guts to open my box, how about you peel off the layers of weird things in front of you?
Tangze, who was innocently shot many times: "..."
