magician under the moon

Tokyo, a city that combines tradition and modernity, the majestic Imperial Palace, the towering Tokyo Tower, the bustling Shinjuku, the fashionable Shibuya, all kinds of people and buildings with different styles, the unique charm of this city is formed by the unity of contradictions.But if in your eyes, everything stops here, it can only prove one point, you may just pass through this city.reason?It's very simple, what is behind the glamor, perhaps only the people who have really lived in this land know best.

For Haibara Ai, who has spent the only 18 years of her life in Tokyo, the so-called glamor of this city is just the surviving skin of a rotten apple.For an hour, she has maintained the same posture and half leaned against the car window, lazily listening to the non-stop noise of the taxi driver, and seeing the familiar street scene flashing in front of her eyes one by one through the car window.familiar?True to the eye.With the mind, it's just the opposite.

Due to the viewing angle, the eloquent driver may never notice that the temperature in the eyes of the well-behaved listener in the back seat has not warmed up in the slightest because of his eagerness.And the bright sunshine in the afternoon, through the gray and white buildings in the urban area, and the half-yellow sycamore leaves in the suburban counties, all the way to see each other with enthusiasm, in exchange for the girl's cold profile.indifferent?Perhaps, this is a habit and a cover.

The girl leaned forward slightly, and although the expression on her face could not be fully interpreted, it could still be interpreted as a concentration of listening attentively.The middle-aged driver became more and more elated, and even more frothed about all the anecdotes he had seen. The driver simply wanted to package himself as the most knowledgeable and brave super uncle in the world.Unfortunately, no matter how the driver tried his best, in the eyes of the girl in the back seat, his activity was no different from the cold telephone pole outside the window from beginning to end—it could not attract half of the attention.

There is only one thing that can catch Hui Yuanai's attention, and that is a black car that has been following him unhurriedly since he got in the car.

"The existence of this car in the urban area can be described as a coincidence, but after following it to the suburbs, things are not so simple." Behind the appearance of a calm appearance, Hui Yuanai's heart began with his choice to betray the organization Undiminished fear, "My feeling is not wrong. Bobern really sent someone to watch me. I don't worry about someone watching me, but if this watcher knows some secrets that he shouldn't know...."

All kinds of possible situations flashed in my mind one by one, and finally calm prevailed.

'Bobern should not tell other members of the organization that I have become smaller, let alone mention the list of people I have had close contact with during this time.That's right, as long as he wants me to return to the organization and continue to work hard, he can't lie to me about this matter, at most, he will use these as a means of threatening me in the future. '

"Dingling bell..." The sudden crisp ringtone seemed particularly abrupt amidst the driver's hoarse chatter.

The brow furrowed slightly, but only for a moment, replaced by the usual indifferent expression "Hey, what's the matter?"

From the other end of the phone came the old voice that was the last thing I wanted to hear but had to hear, "The meeting place is set to be in the abandoned Navy warehouse. The address, I will inform you by text message later."

"Three times in less than an hour." There was a bit of mockery and contempt in his eyes, and an indifferent sneer overflowed from his lips. "Didn't they send someone to watch me long ago? Why are you so careful?"

"Hehe, you still found out." Although Bobern was exposed, the other party's voice was not in the slightest flustered, but it was a bit more elder-like. Yi is not a simple role. Now if you kill him, if you don't do it well, you will cause trouble."

Secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but the breath was so weak that no one could detect it, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth without a sound, "Don't worry, I've done this perfectly, and no one else will know the truth. So, don't Trouble...or you still can't trust me."

"Hehe, I've already said that you think too much." Even though the gentle voice carries traces of aging that cannot be erased by the years, it can still give people the illusion of spring breeze, but only those who really know him know, This is just the disguise of an old and cunning person, "Well, since you don't like me, I will let the people who follow you withdraw, it's okay."

If it were any other girl, she would have been moved by the sincere tone on the phone.Unfortunately, the only audience was none other than Haibara Ai, a former member of the organization who had a calm mind and had been with Bobern for many years.So, her answer was only a short sentence.

"Thank you, then please keep your promise."

With a 'pop', the call was unilaterally ended.Soon, from the reflector of the taxi, Hui Yuan Ai saw with satisfaction that the black car that had been following him disappeared from his field of vision after a fork in the road.

He half closed his glasses, changed to a more comfortable position and half leaned on the seat, and calmly issued an instruction, "At the intersection ahead, turn left."

"Turn left? No, miss, you should drive straight? Aren't you going to the beach? Where did you go when you turned left? I'm not talking about you. Although it's daytime, you're a girl. , and so beautiful, it’s always bad to go to such a remote place, what if you encounter bad people, I’ve heard of it..."

"Mr. Driver, please turn your head around."

"What's the matter, little..."

"I'll say it again, turn left at the next intersection, understand?"

"Ah? Ah? Ming...understand"

In the next 20 minutes, the chattering uncle driver did not say a word, but raised his hand from time to time to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.There is no other reason, just because of the short look back just now.How did that happen?It was obviously a delicate face, but why, a wordless sense of oppression made everything from the expression to the limbs and even every finger, the moment the eyes met, they were stiff and unable to move.They are obviously a pair of beautiful eyes, but why, a kind of icy breath, from the top of the head to the soles of the feet and even every pore, is in the silent air, unable to move a little.She's obviously just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, why?

Hui Yuanai knew nothing about the driver's shock, panic, and confusion.What she needs now is to calm down and sort out the whole plan in her mind again.Any negligence may cause irreparable consequences, it is ok, it should be ok, everything is seamless.

The smile on the corner of the mouth bloomed without hesitation, like a beautiful dawn showing the dawn of victory.

'Bobern, I'll let you and I make a final closure today'

====================================

At the same time, Tan Baima, who is also sitting in the car at the other end of the city, is also facing a rapidly changing and complicated situation.Only this time, the usually stable high school detective fell into a rare chaos.

'It's completely unreasonable. It has been 30 minutes and 07 seconds since the bomb was discovered. What are these men in black doing?Why is there no movement? As far as the eyes can see through the car window, the black car followed unhurriedly, without any unusual behavior.It was just this unusual calm that was incomprehensible.

There is only one reason for any temporarily unexplainable things happening in this world, the truth is hidden beneath the surface.This is the creed of White Horse Detective as a high school student detective for many years, and it has helped him get out of embarrassment many times when his reasoning is at the end of the road.

Therefore, Baima Tan firmly believes that the truth hidden under this unusual surface must be more terrifying than usual, and based on more or less understanding of the shadow outside the window, Baima Tan has a vague premonition that the upcoming The truth may be an unknown and terrible conspiracy.

For a fearless young man, the most terrifying thing is not the plot to face.It's this kind of endless waiting before the storm comes.

Time passed with an unnerving tick.Other than that, the interior of the car was unusually quiet.The heavy breathing, the strong smell of sweat, the frightened and hesitant eyes of the surrounding police officers, and of course the ghosts outside the car, all of these condensed the coldness of early winter into unbearable anxiety.

No one can keep calm in such a situation, but it is necessary to be calm.

I sorted out all the key words in my mind again: tracking all the way, no action, bomb, note, 100 kilometers per hour.Everything I've experienced so far is unreasonable, but if you think about it from another angle, if you can connect all the unreasonable things together, maybe you can get the right...wait a minute...if they do all this The target is not me, but....!!!

The intrusive thought pierced through his body like an electric current, and he stood up abruptly, the shaking car almost caused Bai Ma Tan to stagger and fall to the ground.

"What's the matter, Kaito?" Officer Nakamori was taken aback by this sudden move, and immediately became nervous. "Is there something new?"

"No, no, it's nothing." Tan Baima realized his gaffe, and sat down carefully.

Nakamori immediately felt suspicious, and looked up and down the boy in front of him suspiciously.His face didn't seem to change, but his eyes revealed... panic?How could it be, you misunderstood, Kaito Kuroba, who was able to calmly deal with bombs even when he saw them, suddenly became flustered at this moment?

'No, no... I must be thinking too much. Detective Baima tried his best to control his facial expression, but his body couldn't help but began to tremble slightly. But if, my inference is valid.If the target of the man in black following us is not me, but...'

"Dinglingling..." The crisp and clear ringing sound seemed particularly abrupt at such a time and place.

"What's going on, who's calling?" Nakamori was furious, "Didn't I ask you to hand over your mobile phones, eh? Kaito, what, what's wrong with you."

In Nakamori's surprised eyes, and the stunned eyes of the police officers. Like magic, 'Kuroba Kaito' took out a mobile phone from the hospital gown, and pressed the answer button without any hesitation.

Baima Tan understands that doing such a move in front of the police is tantamount to a huge risk.But he knew that the only Agent Judy who could call at this time also knew what was at stake.

"What's the matter, why do you have a mobile phone, who gave it to you, who is the caller, is it the person who made the bomb, hey, Kaito Kuroba, don't pretend to be stupid and answer me!"

"What did you say!!! Say it again!!!"

The sudden roar was not aimed at Police Officer Nakamori, but its power was enough to make him shut up immediately.The others were also staring wide-eyed, confused about the situation, Genshi didn't know how to deal with it, and the car fell into an eerie silence again.

And all these sounds, without exception, were transmitted to the black car following behind.

"Brother! That detective boy seems to know. What should we do now?" Vodka, who has been in charge of monitoring, took off his earphones and made a brief report.

Glancing through the rearview mirror at the white car that followed all the way, a strange smile appeared on the corner of GIN's mouth, "Hmph, it seems that someone from the FBI tipped off the news, but unfortunately, it's too late, the game is over. As game designers, it's time for us to retire."

"I understand big brother, big brother is still smart!"

In the next second, the black figure that had been following behind left without a sound, and the countdown that had been flickering ceaselessly stopped.Everything came too fast and went even faster.The police immediately exploded.Some are happy, some are doubtful, some are angry, and some are worried.But finally the hanging heart fell to the ground, and only then did everyone notice that they were already covered in cold sweat, but the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"It scared me to death. I thought I would lose my life today."

"Sure enough, it was just a prank. Who did it? It's too bad. You must investigate it carefully."

"I almost jumped out of the car!"

"A group of useless guys who panicked when they encountered something. You can't imitate others. Kaito Kuroba is a sophomore in high school. Look at him!"

"Please, Officer Nakamori, I'm Phantom Thief Kid, okay? Of course calm down. If you don't calm down, why do you always lose to him, right, Kuroba Kaito."

The departure of the black car, the din inside the car, and the joking joking and pushing of the little police officer did not bring back Detective Baima's mind.All the changes around him lost their meaning. At this time, the white horse sat on the chair blankly, without any expression on his face, and there was a fear that he had never felt in his heart.

And there was only one sentence in his ear, a very simple sentence, so simple that people would never be able to accept it, but it was already reasonable.

"Kaito Kuroba, disappeared from the hospital!"
