Corpse collector in Conan

Mrs. Masakage gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.

At this time, the kind detective shook her head for her: "She is not the murderer, but she has guessed the murderer."

Hashimoto Maya: "?!"

"If the murderer is not this old woman, then it must be between Iida Riki and Hoshikawa Dogo?"

Hashimoto Maya belatedly remembered her task of hiring a magician, and started to reason: "Iida Riki's magic skills are okay, but his appearance is really not up to par. If you want to choose one of them as an employee, you can only find Hoshikawa Dogo. And all this is the will of Lord Usa-I understand! The murderer must be Iida..."

"Mr. Hoshikawa." Jiang Xia looked at Hoshikawa Dogo, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Hashimoto Maya: "???"

While talking, a group of people with different thoughts have arrived at the stairs.

Jiang Xia stepped onto the second floor and asked the two high school girls: "Is this what you saw when you first came up?"

In the narrow corridor on the second floor, the overhead lights were still off, and the light was dim, with only a little light from the first floor and moonlight.

Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the end of the corridor and said in surprise: "Yes, it's this dark and spooky feeling... By the way, the vase is exactly the same as it was at the beginning!"

Jiang Xia nodded, and suddenly raised his hand to press the light switch in the corridor. The mechanism set by the murderer was triggered, and the villa was cut off from power again, falling into darkness.

Seeing this, Officer Chiba, who was squatting in the bathroom on the first floor, quickly turned on the switch again as Jiang Xia had just said.

In just two or three seconds, the light came on. The people on the second floor saw the scene in front of them and were suddenly stunned-at the end of the corridor that was originally empty, there was suddenly an officer Takagi.

"Takagi?" Inspector Megure was stunned, "When did you go there?"

Inspector Takagi laughed, feeling the joy of being a magician's scapegoat, he said mysteriously: "I have been standing here without moving."

"Huh?" Inspector Megure looked suspicious, "You really didn't walk out of the database next to you during the power outage just now?"

Conan: "..." If you trust your subordinates half as much as you trust Hashimoto Maya and vodka...

He sighed, thought about it, and winked at Jiang Xia.

The next moment, the child suddenly jumped up in fear and pointed behind everyone: "Look behind you!"

"!" The others were startled by him and instinctively turned back, but there was nothing behind them.

When they turned around again, they were surprised to find that Inspector Takagi had disappeared again.

"Takagi?" Inspector Megure stared at the door at the end of the corridor, "You went back to the room again, didn't you?"

"No, really not, Inspector!" A voice of defense came from the void, "I have been standing here without moving!"

Everyone followed the direction of the sound, and then found out in disbelief that the sound was actually coming from the end of the corridor, where the body was before - it was as if Inspector Takagi had suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Xia looked at Hashimoto Maya: "When Conan called just now, you didn't respond and turn around - you should know what happened, right?"

Hashimoto Maya nodded carefully.

Jiang Xia patted this member of the organization full of summer sweetness: "Then you will explain it to everyone."

Hashimoto Maya: "..." Thank you for your cultivation, you are such a good boss. But I don't want to be a detective at all, and I don't want to show my presence in front of the police...

However, looking at Conan, who is a "senior" in a sense, and thinking of his positive performance, Hashimoto Maya, with the idea of ​​"learning from old employees", finally spoke up.

Facing the curious eyes of others, he pointed to the study next to him, which was the magic room where Mr. Zhengying stayed: "I just saw Mr. Jiang Xia open this door, and the inside of the door... is a whole mirror."

"Mirror? But when I entered the room just now, there was no mirror behind the door."

Inspector Megure heard this and walked forward curiously.

This magic room is not far from the light switch. He opened the door, originally wanting to take a look behind the door. However, when he accidentally saw the scene in the room, he subconsciously took a step back as if he had seen a ghost: "This, this... How could this happen?!"

Jiang Xia walked to his side and looked into the room - not long ago, this looked like a normal study.

However, when the door was opened at this time, a narrow corridor appeared inside. At the end of the corridor, there was a window illuminated by moonlight, and a vase was quietly placed on the windowsill.

... Everything was exactly the same as the end of the corridor where the body was before. It was as if that space was copied and pasted and moved to this study.

Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Lilan were also stunned: This... Is there really space magic in the world?

"This is not space magic, but a beautiful trick." As if he had guessed their thoughts, Jiang Xia reached in and turned on the light in the study.

The light was bright, and the "corridor" in the study was immediately clearly presented in front of everyone - the "door of the database" on the left wall was actually just a built-in cabinet door in the room, and the snow-white wall on the right was just an unfolded projection screen.

The vase at the end of the "corridor" was not a window sill, but a table, with a glass cabinet like a window behind it.

Jiang Xia walked into the room, put away the projection screen, and moved the small table away. In just a few seconds, the study returned to its original state.

"Before the power outage, what Xiaolan and Sonoko saw was not the real corridor, but the study reflected by the mirror - that's why they couldn't see the 'vase on the windowsill' clearly at that time, because there was no moonlight at that time."

Inspector Megure looked left and right at the door, annoyed: "There is such a big mirror behind the door, and I didn't realize it until now."

Jiang Xia comforted the policeman who was really not observant: "That's because just now, it looked like just an ordinary door - in fact, this door is also a magic prop."

As he said, he pulled the trigger and reached out to pull the wall. The other half of the door popped out and clicked together with the door in front of him. The mirror was immediately sandwiched in the middle.

Jiang Xia touched the complete door: "It looks very ordinary at first glance, but it is actually thicker than an ordinary door, and there is a vertical seam in the middle - this should be specially made by Mr. Zhengying to perform the 'Christmas tree magic'."

"Although Mrs. Zhengying didn't introduce this magic to us in detail just now, combined with the photos in the album just now, it is not difficult to guess the specific content of this 'magic'."
