A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 34 The Dangerous Magic Gathering

Yuanzi's focus has always been on her Prince Charming. Ever since several people appeared, her heart has been lifted to her throat. Fortunately, among the few people who appeared, there was no Doi Tucker tree that she had been obsessed with. Only then did he put it down, and couldn't help asking about the whereabouts of Prince Charming.

"He's already here. He just went upstairs to tidy up the room. Well, he's coming down."

While Hamayori was explaining to Sonoko, footsteps were heard on the stairs, and a short, fat man came down the stairs.

"He... he is Doi Tucker?"

"That's right, that's right, I'm Doi Takshu, and you're the magician's apprentice, right?"

Sonoko's eyes turned from anticipation to dead silence. After hearing the other party's answer, he was in despair. He was not as handsome as the previous few people, so he was looking forward to it for nothing.

"Is this the Prince Charming that Sister Yuanzi was looking forward to? It really is quite white. I don't know where this horse is."

"I reckon the horses are out there, but I can't tell he's a prince."

Listening to Noah and Conan's yin and yang melody, Yuanzi's face turned from white to red, and then from red to blue.

Seeing the fight between the three, everyone present showed good-natured smiles, even our protagonist Doi Takshu couldn't help laughing.

"I'm leaving first, and I'll pick you up after the party is over."

The uncle saw that Xiaolan had settled down, so he bid farewell and left. It was meaningless for him to be here. In the cold weather, he wanted to drink at home and watch Yoko's new TV series. It happened that Xiaolan was not at home. It's comfortable to think about.

"Little devil, where do you want to run?"

The uncle picked up the sneaky Conan and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Uncle, I want to stay here with sister Xiaolan, hey, please let me down, help me."

Before Conan could finish speaking, the uncle had already carried Conan back and walked back, ignoring Conan who was yelling in his hand. Xiaolan didn't stop him this time. Conan couldn't stay on the mountain with a cold.

"Goodbye, Conan, have a good trip." Noah said goodbye to Conan with a mean smile on his face.

……

The dinner was led by Seihiro Sukama, with the help of several women. What Noah didn't expect was that the young lady Sonoko could also cook, which was unexpected.

"Which magician do you all like?"

Among the magic lovers who came today, Doi Takshu is obviously the chatty type, and he will not let it go whenever he has the opportunity. He was the one who spoke first when eating. I don’t know if it was Noah’s illusion. I always feel that I have seen this Doi Take tree before, but after careful observation, I can't remember where I have seen him.

"My favorite magician is of course Haloif."

"Magician who failed in magic, what's there to like, Ms. Tanaka, it seems that your taste is not as high as you show on the Internet."

"What you say is as disgusting as ever, Mr. Hamaya."

Seeing that the dispute between the two became more and more intense, Doi Takshu hurriedly stopped him. He didn't come to quarrel. After all, he had known each other online for so long, and he also knew the love and hatred between the two. Unexpectedly, just now They quarreled as soon as they met.

"My favorite magician is Phantom Thief Kid."

"Phantom Thief Kidd can't be considered a magician, little sister."

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Sonoko hurriedly spoke to mediate the atmosphere, but what he didn't expect was that the man named Hamaya Rino refuted him as soon as he opened his mouth. His personality is really straightforward.

"I also like Phantom Thief Kidd, didn't expect us to be quite similar."

Yuanzi turned his head to look at the speaker in surprise, but he didn't expect it to be his long-awaited Prince Charming, Doi Takshu, his face drooped suddenly, the ghost wanted to be like you.

Everyone here knows why Yuanzi is bitter. After all, when Yuanzi first came, he kept yelling that his prince charming was Doi Tucker. They began to communicate with each other, and the atmosphere became quite harmonious for a while.

Doi Takshu is not angry either, he is fat and generous. Among the people present, he likes Noah the most. He is about the same age as him, and he talks very interestingly. He is also a man, so there is no need to be taboo so much when talking in his mouth. Ya started bragging about his past magic history.

I don't know if Noah is thinking about knowing himself. Although Noah doesn't know magic in this world, he knows the magic that he has seen before, so he took the opportunity to chat with the other party to observe this person at close range.

……

After the uncle and Conan left the villa, they didn't stop, and went straight back to the car to go home. Conan was still very upset that Uncle Maori took him home forcibly, and looked at the uncle with resentful eyes. , knowing that I was wrong, and didn't want to argue more, turned on the radio, and used the broadcast to ease the embarrassment between the two.

"Interlude a piece of news. This morning, the police found a body in a villa. The name of the deceased was Xi Shanwu. He was killed at home. The murderer left a message on the computer and solved one. The code name is Shadow Mage."

"It is reported that Xi Shanwu was originally scheduled to attend a gathering of magic lovers today, but he was killed by a shadow mage who was also a fan.

"Chi...chi...chi"

Uncle Mori who was driving slammed on the brakes after hearing what was playing on the radio, and Conan next to him looked serious and worried.

If the guess is correct, the villa on the mountain should be the meeting place mentioned on the radio. The murderer Shadow Mage may also be on the mountain, and the message left indicates that there is a possibility of committing another crime. Xiaolan and the others are in danger.

Uncle Mao Li was not an idiot. Knowing that the murderer might commit the crime again, he turned the car and hurried back to the villa. He galloped all the way, not caring about the snow on the road and slipping, and reached the wooden bridge in half the time.

"I'm late."

Looking at the burning wooden bridge in front of him, the uncle's eyes were stern, and he gritted his teeth. The murderer had already given up his retreat, and of course his purpose was for some people in that villa.

"Uncle, go to the police, I will rescue sister Xiaolan."

Taking off his coat, ignoring the still dazed uncle, after saying this, Conan suddenly accelerated and ran towards the wooden bridge. Now that the wooden bridge has not been completely burned down, and he is thin and small, it is very possible to run over.

"Wait for me, Xiao Lan."

……

Xiaolan in the villa seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked in the direction of the wooden bridge, with an uncertain expression on her face.

"What's the matter, Xiaolan."

Noah's perception is very strong, and he was the first to notice Xiaolan's strangeness. Before he could speak, Yuanzi also noticed something was wrong with his friend, and asked.

"I seem to hear someone calling me, maybe it's an illusion."

Illusion...

Xiaolan's answer made Noah's heart very uneasy, as if something important was about to happen, Xiaolan stood up suddenly, opened the door and went out, she also had such an uneasy feeling in her heart, Yuanzi was worried My good friend had an accident and hurriedly got up to follow.

"Conan."

What came into view was Conan, who was in a terrible state of distress, crawling on the cold ground, drowsy, his arms still struggling to reach the stairs, trying to climb up the villa.

Everyone in the room heard Xiaolan's voice and hurried out. Noah's reaction was faster. He picked up Conan who was trembling and walked into the room. As he walked, he asked if there was any antipyretic medicine here. He felt that Conan's body was very hot. A sign of a fever.

Conan, who was trying to stay awake, saw himself in Noah's arms, a reassuring smile appeared on his worried face, whispered something to Noah, and then passed out.

"Be careful... Shadow Mage."
