Conan: Detectives and Dogs Are Not Allowed

"By the way, how did you move Mr. Hamano's body to that place?"

As everyone was sighing, Edogawa Conan asked the most critical question of the night.

"Well..." Tanaka Kikue looked at the curious crowd around her and replied with a smile, "Magicians will not easily reveal their magic tricks."

Seeing the disappointment on everyone's faces, she changed the subject and said with a smile: "But I'm not a professional magician. If you really want to know, it's okay to tell you."

Then, Tanaka Kikue briefly described her method: she first drilled holes at the back end of the two arrows, passed a rope through the small holes to make a small loop, and then passed a long rope of a pre-measured length (with two other ropes tied in the middle) through the two small loops. Then, she tied the two ends of the long rope to the handrail of the balcony.

After that, she shot one arrow to the tree and the other arrow to the opposite tree. In this way, the rope formed a shape similar to a sail. Then, she tied the body to the rope, let the two ropes pass through the small loops before, and the body slid down along the rope.

"I see." Conan nodded silently after hearing this. This method of operation can indeed move the body a long distance without digging a tunnel or using a hang glider.

"Indeed, the technique is worthless after it is revealed. These are just knowledge that can be learned in the second grade of elementary school." Taro Jouno sighed.

"Ah?" Conan, who was immersed in Tanaka Kikue's technique, suddenly raised his head and looked at Taro Jouno speechlessly, thinking: Do you have any misunderstandings about the teaching content of the second grade of elementary school?

After listening to Taro Jouno's words, several other adults couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Is the current elementary education so advanced? Such complicated content is taught in the second grade?

Seeing Conan staring at him, Jouno Taro casually said, "Conan, you are still in the first grade now. You will know when you are promoted to the second grade next year."

Conan certainly did not believe this kind of coaxing words, but he did not continue to dwell on this issue.

"Then how did you recover those devices? We didn't see any ropes on the balcony." Conan turned his attention back to Tanaka Kikue.

"Well, this is very simple. I just need to tie another rope to the arrow, then cut the rope on the balcony and shoot it into the forest. The rope will fly into the forest with the arrow." Tanaka Kikue glanced at Conan and smiled, "Are children nowadays so curious?"

Mauri Ran explained for Conan somewhat embarrassedly: "Haha, Conan just likes to play detective games."

Conan wanted to refute a few words, but he was already feeling a little confused when being held by Mao Li Ran, and his cold was not completely healed, and his body was weak, so he finally gave up the argument and let the detective game be a detective game.

At this time, Taro Jouno made his own suggestion: "In this case, when the police come at dawn, you can confess yourself, maybe you can reduce the punishment."

Arayoshi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but gave up after thinking carefully. After all, if Kikue Tanaka insisted on denying that she was the murderer, they would have to wait until the police came to rest assured. Now that Kikue Tanaka has nodded and admitted that she is the murderer, everyone does not have to worry about other people in the dark.

Conan felt that something was wrong, but he was already a little confused and saw that no one else objected, so he did not speak again.

"...Okay." Kikue Tanaka nodded and accepted Taro Jouno's suggestion.

In the long night, everyone soon felt a little sleepy.

At this time, Kikue Tanaka suddenly broke the silence. She asked Mr. Jouno curiously: "Hey, Mr. Jouno, since you can see through my tricks in Hamano Magic at a glance, I guess your magic skills are also superb, right? What kind of magic show have you prepared tonight?"

As soon as this was said, everyone's sleepiness disappeared instantly, and they all became energetic. Anyway, there is nothing to do now, watching a magic show is also a good choice.

Conan was almost asleep, and after hearing this, he looked at Jouno Taro in confusion. Isn't he the owner of the coffee shop? It's surprising enough to come to a gathering of magic lovers, but he actually has to perform magic?

Seeing everyone's excited look, Jouno Taro did not refuse. He stood up and said with a smile: "Since everyone is so looking forward to it, I will show my ugliness."

After speaking, Jouno Taro stretched out his clenched right hand, and then slowly opened his palm, and a cluster of flames were jumping inside. Even in this brightly lit hall, the red flame in Jouno Taro's hand is particularly eye-catching.

"Wow~"It immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. Compared with Hamano Toshiya's previous magic of writing on cards, Jionno Taro's performance of holding flames was obviously more shocking.

Conan stared at Jionno Taro's hands without gloves and fell into deep thought. How did he do this? It doesn't look like he used any props, but this must be a trick, yes, it must be like this...

Doi Takeki narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Jionno Taro differently. He originally thought that Jionno Taro was just a computer technology expert. Because he cracked the secret that "Cheating Boy" was Chunjing Fuden, he deduced that Tanaka Kikue, who pretended to be "Cheating Boy", was suspected of murder. Unexpectedly, this guy's magic ability is also quite good.

Although flame magic is not his specialty, he still understands some basic principles. Usually, this kind of magic with flames is achieved by applying a liquid with a low ignition point on the hands and then igniting it. Due to the low ignition point, as long as you overcome your inner fear, it is actually not complicated to operate.

However, Toki Tokushu neither saw Taro Jouno lighting the fire nor felt that the color of the flame seemed to be wrong...

Just as he was thinking about the principle of Taro Jouno's magic, the flame slowly moved from Taro Jouno's palm to his index finger. Taro Jouno bent the other four fingers, posed a cool pose, and looked at Toki Tokushu with sharp eyes.

Toki Tokushu was shocked: "!!!?"

Taro Jouno yelled: "Try this!" Then, the flame on his index finger suddenly surged and waved towards Toki Tokushu.

As Taro Jouno waved, the flame on his hand splashed towards Toki Tokushu like water, instantly wrapping him up.

"Ah?" The sudden scene startled everyone, and they didn't understand why Taro Jouno suddenly "attacked" Toki Tokushu.

As everyone was astonished, suddenly there was a "bang", a smoke bomb exploded, and the smoke filled the air, and everyone lost sight.

"What happened?" Everyone was confused, not knowing what had just happened.

Soon, the smoke from the smoke bomb gradually dissipated, and a white figure appeared in front of everyone - a white hat, a white cape, and the iconic single-sided glasses. Who else could this be but Kaito Kid?

"Kaito Kid!" Suzuki Sonoko shouted in surprise, her eyes fixed on the sudden appearance of Kaito Kid.

"What? Kaito Kid?" The others were still confused. This series of changes happened too quickly, leaving them no time to react. Tanaka Kikue even forgot to escape in the chaos and stood there in a daze.

Conan stared at Kaito Kid with his half-moon eyes, and finally realized it in his heart. He felt something was wrong before, and it turned out that it was because Doi Takeki was actually Kaito Kid in disguise. As a real magician, Kaito Kid may have seen through Tanaka Kikue's magic tricks a long time ago, but he was not sure whether she would continue to hurt people, so he wanted to stop Jyouno Taro from telling the truth before.

Seeing Kaito Kid reveal his true form, Jyouno Taro began to explain: "This is the magic show I prepared tonight - burning Kaito Kid."

After that, he waved his hand again, and the flames rushed towards Kaito Kid again, as if to devour the mysterious thief.
