A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 35 The Shadow Mage Who Shot Again
"Xiao Lan, how is Conan?"

"Thanks to Mr. Sukama's fever-reducing medicine, the fever has subsided, and Conan is now asleep."

Xiaolan's answer made Noah's heart calm down a little. Thinking of the words Conan whispered to him, he couldn't help wondering who the Shadow Mage was, and his name sounded like a magician, so why should he be careful.

Originally, I wanted to ask Doi Takshu, but then I thought that I didn't know him very well, what if he was the shadow mage, I'd better wait for Conan to wake up and talk about it.

In the room where Conan was sleeping, only Xiaolan was with her. Noah and Yuanzi continued to have dinner downstairs. At this time, Noah had become serious, and he observed everyone carefully and carefully.

During the period, Doi Takshu also came up to ask about Conan's situation with concern, and after learning that there was no serious problem, he continued to pull Noah and started chatting.

Before finishing the meal, Xiaolan came downstairs to tell them that Conan had woken up. Noah told Xiaolan and others to continue eating, and he came up with food to accompany Conan, and let him have a meal by the way.

"Conan, do you feel better? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Noah's concerned voice sounded in Conan's ears, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. He still knew he cared about himself, and he didn't let you vent his anger in vain...

"Noah, the reason why I came back this time is that Miu Nishiyama, who was going to attend this gathering of magic lovers, died at home. The murderer was the shadow mage I told you about."

Seeing Conan with a dignified face and slowly explaining the matter, Noah felt a little warmth in his heart. Is this kid still worried about himself? It really moved me to cross the burning wooden bridge so dangerously.

"I was very worried about sister Xiaolan's safety. I wanted to run over to inform you. I was already weak and caught a cold, but when I ran to the entrance of the villa, I had no strength and fell down."

Seeing Conan talking to himself while eating in front of him, the emotion in Noah's heart disappeared, and he ran over with this kid to inform his sister Xiaolan, but he didn't take himself seriously, and hurriedly took the meal from Conan snatched it from his hand.

"Hey, what are you doing, I haven't eaten well yet."

"You don't learn well at a young age, but you learn quickly if you are lazy. Go down and eat by yourself." After finishing speaking, he went downstairs with the food.

……

……

"Call Mr. Xishan and ask him why he hasn't come yet. It's already dark."

Noah, who had just reached the stairs, heard Hamaya Rino's doubtful voice. It seems that Nishiyama Wu is indeed a participant of this magic lovers' party, but it's a pity that you will never see him.

"Mr. Xishan you are waiting for may never come."

Conan, who followed Noah downstairs, also heard this sentence, and couldn't help but interjected. Noah couldn't help complaining. He was really a child, and he couldn't help showing off when he knew some information.

"Kid, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"Mr. Xishanwu, was murdered at home this morning. The murderer's code name is Shadow Mage."

The faces of everyone in the living room changed suddenly, and the eyes of several magic lovers were even a little unbelievable. The Mr. Xishan they said was Xishan Wu, and the shadow mage was one of their fans. He made it clear that he would not come to this party. Why? It will become like this.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"When I came here just now, the wooden bridge had already been set on fire, and our only way down the mountain has been destroyed by someone. The Shadow Mage is probably around us. You can tell if it's a joke."

Hearing this, Doi Takeshu immediately went out to check, and after a while came back with an ugly face, nodded silently, indicating the truth.

"Can you tell me the story of magic lovers and shadow mages?"

Faced with Conan's questioning, several fans looked at each other, and in the end it was Takshu Doi who talked the most. Talking more means strong language expression ability, so it is perfect for him to speak.

Not disappointing everyone, Conan and others gradually learned about the situation of this group of magic lovers, including the shadow mage, from the narration of Doi Takshu and the additions of several others.

The founders of this group of people are no longer known. There are only so many magic lovers in total now. The four people present, the dead Xi Shanwu, and the strange shadow mage six people, Yuanzi is not counted.

The six of them all have their own favorite magicians, and each of them has different beliefs and personalities. This party was jointly proposed by Si Shanwu and Doi Takshu.

Among the six people, except Shadow Mage who didn't know their real identity, the others were all well-known among magic lovers. Shadow Mage was the last to join.

Usually Nishiyama Wu and Hamaya Rino like to laugh at other magicians, Shadow Mage and Tanaka-san stand up to defend, but are ridiculed by the other two. Over time, the relationship between the few people is as you can see, very unfriendly, they did not expect Surprisingly, Xi Shanwu was actually killed by the shadow mage
"Because someone laughed at your favorite magician, did you kill someone?
Conan had deep doubts in his heart, and several other people were also lost in thought. Everyone's expressions looked different. Doi Takaki looked sad, as if he was sad about the death of Nishiyama Wu. Ms. Tanaka and Ms. Kuroda looked calm, not He was disturbed by the outside world, and there was a little fear on Hamayori's face, probably because he was afraid that the Shadow Mage would attack him.

"Before I came, I asked my uncle to call the police. If there is no accident, we just need to stay in this villa until the police come at dawn."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the villa, Conan comforted him, hoping that Uncle Maori would come as soon as possible.

"Let's see it this way. Since we are all magic lovers, how about preparing a few shows for each of us to pass the time?"

Doi Takshu agreed and put forward his own suggestion. This proposal was strongly supported by Yuanzi. Didn’t he come here just to join in the fun? The other people didn’t pay more attention and expressed their agreement one after another. It takes a certain amount of time to prepare, and it is agreed to come down and gather when you are ready.

"Did you find anything wrong?"

In Noah's room, the two sat on the bed, saw Conan's solemn face, and asked.

"No, I found that none of them seem to know much about Shadow Mage, and we haven't been to the scene of the crime, so we can't confirm any information."

Conan was also very helpless. When these people spoke, they felt a little vague. Everyone seemed to be hiding something, and it was not easy for him to ask questions. He just hoped that he could stay safe until the police arrived.

"Let's go, it's time to go down and watch some of their performances, you have nothing to do, let's pass the time."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Noah took Conan downstairs to watch the magic show. Several figures had already gathered in the living room. Except for Hamaya Rino who hadn't come down yet, the others were already sitting in their seats and getting ready.

"I'm really looking forward to today's performance. I just heard about the strength of the fans on the Internet before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

Doi Takshu was the first to be unable to hold back his loneliness, and was the first to speak. The other magic lovers were humbled when they heard his compliments, and the living room was full of joy for a while.

"Why is Bang so slow? I haven't prepared for such a long time. Are you too nervous?"

"How could it be? Bang is also a well-known magic lover. He is famous among amateur magicians like us. How could he be nervous?"

Yuanzi has been staring out of the window since everyone spoke just now, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered something incredible, pointing out the window, he stammered and said:

"Is that... Mr. Hamaya?"
