“We found the chat room account on his computer, and it seems that he and his online friends also communicate by email and phone.”
"However, the murderer had already deleted this part of the information, which shows that he was a computer whiz."
Mingzhi used a chat room-era internet slang term, which sent a chill down Yuanshan Yeyi's spine.
So who says that using internet slang is fashionable and that you're out of touch with society?
This thing disappears from fashion faster than a mosquito dies.
Gao Yuan then continued his thinking along this line of clues.
"Harui Fuden is a veteran magician. Due to his advanced age, he basically faded out of the stage a few years ago, so not many young people really know him."
"This is probably why 'The Escape King' and 'The Vanished Pani' don't speak of him with much respect."
"As for the 'Shadow Mage' who gets enraged by such a harmless joke and even kills people, he must be either a fanatical admirer or a close friend or relative of Harui Fuden himself."
This straightforward analysis earned a knowing nod of approval.
"That's why we asked you to come and help us."
"Harui Kazekatsu has long been in a semi-retired state, and the situation regarding his family is unclear..."
“All I know is that he has a granddaughter,” Gao Yuan replied quickly. “Her name is Tanaka Takahisa, and she should have always lived in Tokyo.”
That's so fast!
Yoruichi felt dizzy upon hearing this.
What's going on? You've already found the murderer?
Of course, at this point, the police can only suspect.
But we can already invite Ms. Tanaka in for questioning.
In front of highly intelligent people like you, I often feel like a fool.
Yoruichi Toyama muttered to herself, but then realized something was amiss.
Even if the police find Tanaka Takahisa's address now, they'll probably be disappointed.
Because she is now...
Yoruichi Toyama, a spoiler-loving individual, pondered for a moment, then pretended to pick up the document, flipped through two pages, and pointed to a dialogue, feigning surprise.
"They said they're going to have a party, so it should be in the next few days, right?"
The party features a murderer who has already killed one person, and the still-alive "disappeared Pani".
In addition, there's the mountain cabin that's a must-go for gatherings around the world.
If a murder doesn't happen, who would be letting this down?
"But there was no concrete information about the gathering left on Xishan's computer," Mingzhi said regretfully.
That's for sure.
The murderer left a murder warning on Xishan's computer. Did he leave a message waiting for you to stop him?
Realizing the tense situation, Yoruichi Toyama quickly took out his phone.
"I...I'll call Conan..."
Between rings on the phone, he explained to Akechi, who was staring at him, "Um... I heard Conan say the other day that he's going with Ran and Sonoko to a magic enthusiasts' gathering. I guess it might be related..."
Mingzhi seemed to want to ask something, but ultimately gave up.
This guy's luck is so strong that he's too lazy to break superstitions anymore.
But no one answered the phone.
“Satellite phone? They’re probably somewhere without a signal.” Yoruichi Toyama reached for the phone, her ominous premonition rising to another level.
Fortunately, the call was connected quickly this time.
"Hey, is this Toyama?" Conan called out urgently on the other end before he could speak.
"We came here for a party, but the only suspension bridge leading here has been burned down!"
"I suspect something bad might happen at this resort. Call the police right away..."
With a "thump," the conversation was interrupted, followed by a girl's scream.
"Conan! Conan, what's wrong?... He's burning up with fever!..."
Listening to the chaotic sounds on the other end of the phone, Akechi and Yoruichi Toyama exchanged a serious look.
"First, use satellite positioning to locate Conan and the others," Akechi said quickly. "I'll request a police helicopter!"
It seems that this is the only option at present.
Considering that the murderer would probably not commit the crime for some time, Toyama Yoru nodded.
I hope I can make it in time.
Ai, who had been listening to their discussion of the case, came over and simply took Takato's arm.
"There's nothing more for you here. Come back with me."
Should we go back?
Gao Yuan glanced at her, only to find Mingmei smiling behind her.
“Let’s go to my house for dinner.” Ai confirmed this in a calm, scientist’s tone. “I will inform Mr. Kazami that we will go back to the lab tomorrow.”
"Home"...
A place with warm lights, hot meals, and the company of loved ones...
Gao Yuan chuckled, then withdrew his hand and turned to look at Akechi and Yoruichi Toyama.
"If... there's anything I can help with..."
"Harui Fuden is a magician I greatly respect, and I don't want to see his descendants tarnish his reputation."
