Chapter 2646-2658 [Eavesdropping]

“It’s not a bad thing.” Unexpectedly, the magician next to him had sharp ears. After hearing what the two high school girls said, Xinghe Tongwu wiped his wet hair and said with a smile, “Although I did climb out of the sink by my own strength at the end of the show, I was able to do this thanks to you.”

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were stunned and didn't quite understand: "Thanks to us? It seems that we didn't help at all..."

“How could that be?” Xinghe Tongwu blinked at them, “In fact, I was in danger at that time. Just when I was about to drown and faint, I heard the loving call from the two lovely ladies. When I thought of so many spectators waiting for me outside, I immediately cheered up and was able to escape from danger.”

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko blushed: "That's great!"

Conan: "?" You believe such an obvious lie? How can a drowning person regain consciousness just by calling out? Besides, look at how lively he is, he doesn't look like he just drowned.

"So he woke up because of the call." Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but speak, "I thought that uncle had long ago used the fine needle hidden in his mouth to unlock the handcuffs, and then escaped through the pre-hidden mechanism on the lid above his head, and then hid behind the curtain, and waited for the audience to start a commotion, and then pretended to have just escaped and showed up in a high-profile manner."

Xinghe Tongwu’s smile froze: “…” Doesn’t this child know a little too much?

"You brat!" Suzuki Sonoko punched Conan on the head, "You're just watching a magic show, why are you talking so much?"

When the fake elementary school student was quarreling with his classmates with his head covered, Jiang Xia looked around and suddenly discovered something.

"I remember that besides Xiaolan and Sonoko, there seemed to be another enthusiastic staff member who rushed onto the stage just now." Jiang Xia asked the magician, "Judging from his movements and expression at the time, he didn't seem to be a person you arranged in advance - that gentleman didn't come with you?"

"Hmm? Now that you mention it..." Xinghe Tongwu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that someone was missing from the room. He asked in surprise, "I just invited him to my lounge, how come he suddenly disappeared? On the way, he even asked me for my business card..."

You can't get anything useful from the magician, but luckily he has more than one pair of reliable eyes.

Soon, Mist Tengu floated back from outside, holding a small ball of murderous aura that he had pulled down.

After looking at Jiang Xia, it understood what the psychic master was thinking, and came over to whisper: Akai Shuu looked at Mao Li Ran and Suzuki Sonoko halfway, then dropped a bug, quietly left from the fork in the road, and had already left the venue.

Jiang Xia: “…”

"Maybe after seeing Xiaolan and Sonoko, he realized that I, a 'peripheral member of the organization', would be here soon, so he was trying to avoid suspicion?"

Jiang Xia touched his chin: "Akai can be regarded as the number one enemy of the organization. Under normal circumstances, he and I get along well. It is indeed difficult to explain if someone in the organization sees this... This FBI is actually quite considerate in this regard?"

But for the psychic, this behavior is not considerate at all, but rather a bit upsetting.

"Forget it. As long as the organization is still there, Akai Shuichi will not leave. One night won't make a difference. But..."

Jiang Xia glanced at the bug in Suzuki Sonoko's pocket and was a little curious: Why did these FBI ignore Vermouth and Uzo and come to the magic show to cause trouble? Or... did they catch some false clues from various incidental cases?

Just as I was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses walked in.

"Today's performance was really wonderful." Iida Riki held a cigar in his mouth and clapped his hands. He looked at Xinghe Dougo and invited him, "Would you like to perform a magic show with me next time?"

Xinghe Tongwu obviously knew him: "Of course, I still have a lot to learn from you."

"Haha, I won't be polite then." Iida Riki stretched out his pinky finger to push up his sunglasses, and said bluntly to his fellow apprentice in front of him, "Who in our Tokyo magic circle doesn't envy your fans? After the duet, I will take some of them without hesitation."

"..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Hoshigawa Dogo, who was as handsome as a star, and then looked at his fellow apprentice who had a messy hairstyle that was neither long nor short, a face full of stubble, and the lower half of his face was as wide as a hippopotamus, and fell silent.

Suzuki Sonoko: “…” I don’t know whether his fans will be pulled away by you, but I’m afraid some of your fans will come to him.

As I was muttering to myself, suddenly, a witch-like face appeared in front of me - a woman walked into the lounge without me noticing.

The female magician with exaggerated makeup got straight to the point: "A two-person show? How about adding me and making it a three-person show?"

As she spoke, she took the cigar from Iida Riki's mouth and squeezed the cigarette tightly into her palm.

"!" Mao Lilan was startled, afraid that she would get burned. But before she could open her mouth, the female magician turned her wrist and a bright red rose appeared between her fingers.

She sniffed the rose and said to her two fellow disciples, "We can also take this opportunity to see who among us is the legitimate successor to Mr. Zhengying."

"Mr. Masakage?" Suzuki Sonoko watched the exquisite magic and was enjoying herself. She whispered to two classmates, "This name sounds familiar. Could it be another great magician?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "I heard that he was once very popular, but suddenly disappeared 10 years ago. Some people said that he ran away from home, and some said that he was murdered. It seems that there is no conclusion yet as to where he is now."

"I see." Suzuki Sonoko looked at the three magicians in the lounge in amazement. "Although I don't have much impression of him, he must be very powerful to have taught so many powerful disciples."

However, although they were all taught by the same person, the three students had completely different personalities.

The female magician Himemiya Nobuko seems to be particularly ambitious, with obvious competitiveness and aggressiveness, while Hoshigawa Dougo is more Buddhist and romantic. As for the guy named Iida Riki who looks like a gangster boss... he seems to have the best temper.

Hearing the provocative words from his junior sister, Iida Riki did not get angry. Instead, he enthusiastically suggested: "In this case, why not invite Sanada Kazuzo as well, and have a dreamlike performance by the Four Heavenly Kings! - That guy is very handsome and has a lot of fans as well."

"Sanada Kazuzo?" Xinghe Dougo scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "I heard that their master's sect had an accident recently. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk to him about this now."
