Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

After hearing the name from Conan, Dr. Agasa stroked his beard: "Itakura Taku? I seem to have seen this name somewhere..."

"Please, Doctor! Help me investigate!"

"Okay, okay, I know. I'll call you when I find out. But it's still early, I'll go back to sleep... Haah~"

"Okay... You must remember, Doctor!"

Seeing Dr. Agasa's face getting more and more sleepy, Conan had to say goodbye to the doctor.

After walking out of the yard, Conan looked back at Dr. Agasa's house, his eyes full of reluctance and loneliness.

Since the doctor and the aunt got together, the doctor's attitude towards him seemed to have changed a little, and he came here less and less often.

If it was before, no matter what time I visited, the doctor would not "turn me away".

But now... Alas! It has changed, everything has changed. The doctor is no longer the same doctor...

After sighing silently, Conan turned and walked to "his own home", his eyes full of nostalgia.

Since she became smaller... Wait! Haibara Ai? !

Thinking of this, Conan immediately turned his eyes to the direction of the Tatsuno family.

The child named Haibara Ai always said something profound that was not like her age.

I heard from the doctor that she seemed to be picked up by Takeda. Before she recognized her sister, she seemed to have been living in Takeda's house.

Could it be that she was also shrunk by the Black Organization using drugs like himself?

Thinking of this, Conan shook his head in self-mockery.

Is it because of the reason he just met Gin and the others? I actually started to have wild thoughts~~

How could there be someone else besides myself...

No way...

Conan looked down at himself, and the self-mockery in his eyes was gradually replaced by solemnity.

...

The next day

In a white luxury car.

Tatsuno sat in the passenger seat, propped up his head with one arm, and admired the "whiteness" outside the window.

Winter has not yet passed, and the originally green mountains have been dyed bright white by the snow.

Yesterday morning, Sonoko called, and in the one-hour phone call, she also told Xiaolan everything about the "netizen gathering".

For some reason, Sonoko suddenly became very interested in magic recently. Just when she was searching for information about magic on her computer, she accidentally entered a chat room.

The people she met in the chat room were the netizens she mentioned. These people are magic enthusiasts, and they communicate and share information about magic online every day.

As everyone became more and more familiar with each other, someone proposed the interesting proposal of "offline gathering".

The real reason why Sonoko agreed and even dragged Ryuno and Xiaolan to attend the party was...

Among these magic lovers, there was a man in his early twenties named Doi Takeshu.

According to Sonoko, this man was polite, humorous, and intelligent, and his excellent literary accomplishment could be seen between the lines.

She thought that this man must be a handsome man with both money and beauty!

After hearing this, Xiaolan immediately expressed her concerns. Since Sonoko only communicated with that man online and had never seen his true face, what if the other party...

After listening to Xiaolan's words, Sonoko immediately expressed her dissatisfaction and said that Xiaolan was "a full man who didn't know the hunger of a hungry man."

In the end, for Sonoko's safety, Xiaolan and Ryuno both accepted her invitation.

It was the weekend anyway, and it would be boring to stay at home for a long time.

Besides, Xiaolan was a little worried about letting Sonoko go to a party with a group of strangers alone.

As for Tatsuno, after hearing the name "Doi Takeshu", he decided to accept Sonoko's invitation.

...

In the car

"Okay~ Everyone, please look here! First, take out a white handkerchief with nothing on it, then take out a short red rope and a ring... Miss, can you please help me tie a knot in the middle of this line?"

"Okay~"

"Next, please put the ring next to this red line..."

Watching Sonoko excitedly practicing magic with Xiaolan in the back seat, the old butler who was driving looked at Tatsuno on the side and whispered: "Only when I'm with you, the lady will show this kind of hearty smile from the heart..."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tatsuno looked at the old butler in surprise.

After noticing Tatsuno's gaze, the old butler slowly said: "Whether it's Miss Ayako or Miss Sonoko, both

I watched them grow up. Although they seem to live a rich life that ordinary people envy, they have lost the most important thing for a person - freedom. "

"From childhood to adulthood, only when Miss Sonoko said she wanted to go out with you, the master and others would immediately agree without asking anything. They are all poor people..."

Tatsuno: "..."

Looking at the faint tears in the old housekeeper's eyes, Tatsuno was stunned.

Hmm? Isn't that right?

Sonoko usually laughs happily at school, and even laughs a little wildly...

Could it be that these are all illusions created by Sonoko? She is actually very sad in her heart?!

Thinking of this, Tatsuno glanced at the rearview mirror.

At this moment, Sonoko, who had just successfully performed a magic trick for Xiaolan, happened to be laughing, and it was impossible to see the old housekeeper's "Pathetic" is what he said.

After calmly withdrawing his gaze, Ryuno frowned. Could it be that Sonoko usually hides so well? Even he was fooled?

Soon after, a suspension bridge appeared in front of everyone, and there was a three-story wooden house opposite the suspension bridge.

Since the suspension bridge could not allow cars to pass, Ryuno and the other two said goodbye to the old housekeeper and got off the car, preparing to walk forward.

After getting on the bridge, Xiaolan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sonoko, so... do your netizens know that Ryuno and I will come?"

"Don't worry~ I have already told them that I will bring my two girlfriends to the party~"

"Two girlfriends?!" Hearing this, Ryuno and Xiaolan stared at Sonoko with wide eyes.

Seeing the astonished eyes of the two, Sonoko slowly said, "We all use online names to deal with each other. I play a 30-year-old playboy in the group! Isn't this interesting! Hahahaha~~~"

After saying that, Sonoko laughed to herself.

After seeing Sonoko's smiling face, Ryuno and Xiaolan looked at each other and nodded with a smile.

Although they didn't say anything, both of them understood what the other meant - "When Sonoko smiles, she really looks like a 30-year-old playboy..."

After a burst of laughter, everyone came to the wooden house.

"Knock knock knock"

"Here I come~"

A middle-aged man in an earth-colored sweater opened the door, looked at Sonoko and smiled: "You are the 'magician's apprentice', right? We are all waiting for you~"

"Huh? That's right...but how did you know?"

"Hahaha, just take a look at the message you sent, anyone can see that the 'magician's apprentice' is a girl pretending to be a middle-aged uncle~"

"Huh? ! ! "
