Chapter 2647-2659 [Prying into Wuzo’s Corner]
"Something happened?" Suzuki Sonoko's gossip radar was activated. "What happened?"
The three magicians then remembered that there was someone nearby, and turned to look over, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Suzuki Sonoko realized belatedly that she was an outsider, and the people on the other side were chatting about gossip in the circle... But it was not a big problem, she just needed to find a common topic and blend in.
She quickly found the contact point between the two sides: "When my family's foundation held its 60th anniversary cruise celebration, we received a notice from Kidd. My mother then asked Mr. Sanada to come and pretend to be Kidd and perform a magic trick that shocked the audience. If the incident between their masters is not a big deal, I might be able to ask Mr. Sanada if he is free to participate in your joint magic show."
“…”
Foundation, 60th anniversary, pretending to be Kidd...
Being in the same circle, the three magicians combined some key words and with a glance, they immediately knew who the person in front of them was.
Integration into success.
"Actually, this matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter either." Iida touched his chin and lowered his voice, "Two days ago, Sanada's teacher, the famous Mr. Kyujuku Motoyasu, committed suicide in the basement of his home."
Suzuki Sonoko: “…”
...isn't this a big deal? ?
Iida Riki saw her expression and laughed, "The dead are gone, and the living must move on. The joint magic show will take at least a month or two to prepare, and by then Sanada will surely have gotten over his grief. And since we don't have a good relationship with him, he may not accept the invitation. If you're willing to help, that would be great."
Suzuki Sonoko scratched her hairpin: "I, I'll try my best."
"Well, even if we want to find him, we can't go now." Iida Riki said to his two fellow students, "Let's go to Mr. Masakage's house for a meal first and discuss the details. This way, we can show our sincerity when we invite him."
He looked at the high school students next to him and invited them warmly: "You guys can come with us since you have nothing to do. The magician's dinner is very interesting. There will be some routine magic performances after dinner. If you want to learn, I can teach you a few tricks."
"Wow!" The audience who had just watched the magic show couldn't resist the temptation to learn magic. Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko nodded immediately, "Then I'll trouble you!"
"..." Conan looked at their shining eyes, then looked at Xinghe Tongwu, and couldn't help but tug at Jiang Xia, whispering, "What's so good about the magic show? Take them to do something else."
After pulling a few times without any response, Conan looked up in confusion and found that Jiang Xia’s expectation seemed no less than that of the other two classmates.
Conan: “……?”
…
The magicians were discussing the gathering.
On the other side, the magic show had ended and the audience stood up and left the venue one after another.
The crowd, in a chaotic yet orderly manner, gradually flowed towards the door. On the way, a figure came silently from the fork in the road and merged into the crowd.
Maya Hashimoto squeezed into the crowd, pushed up her sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and her eyes behind the lenses vigilantly observed her surroundings.
——After using a trick to divert the trouble away from the police and leaving the audience area, he wanted to leave the venue quickly. However, as he walked, Hashimoto Maya gradually stopped.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Wait, the old FBI guy next to him mistook him for Akai Shuichi and seemed to say, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"
...In other words, what's waiting for me outside might not be freedom, but Akai Shuichi!
As this thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered the FBI ace's notorious reputation, Maya Hashimoto turned her foot, walked sleekly into the corridor, and quietly lurked in the conference hall again.
——Thinking about it carefully, the FBI in the venue has been offset by the Tokyo police. In other words, this magic show venue may be much safer than outside.
"And even if the magician drowned in the sink, the old FBI guy who was also approached by the magician and reported by me is obviously more suspicious than me, Jiang Xia's 'colleague'... Hmm? Wait, by the way, why are there policemen here?"
Many guesses flashed through Hashimoto Maya's mind in an instant, but she couldn't be sure.
But what he should do now is very clear - he hides in an inconspicuous place, ready to leave with everyone when the audience is evacuated.
…
"It seems a little strange." Having completed the first half of her plan, Maya Hashimoto walked among the crowd, looking left and right, and always felt that something was wrong.
——The magician who was performing the show had clearly drowned on the stage, but the audience was not horrified at all. Instead, they seemed to be enjoying an excellent and enjoyable magic show.
"One or two would be fine, but now, all the audience have this attitude... It's impossible that all the people watching the show are perverts who enjoy killing people."
After thinking for a while, Hashimoto Maya looked at the crowd around her and casually said to a passerby: "The performance just now was really wonderful."
The beautiful woman, who was walking with her head down, came back to her senses from her trance when she heard his words.
She originally didn't want to pay attention to this low-level pick-up, but after glancing at Hashimoto Maya and seeing the face clearly, she was suddenly stunned.
"It's you." The beautiful woman laughed. "Xinghe Tongwu made you rush onto the stage and lose face, and you actually praised him for his wonderful performance? You are really a good person who doesn't hold grudges."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." What do you mean by rushing onto the stage? What do you mean by embarrassing? Who are you talking about, woman? ? ...Also, just talk if you want to, why are you mocking me? You are the good person!
The beautiful woman smiled with her head down, not noticing his expression. After smiling for a while, her expression suddenly became sad, and she whispered, "It would be nice if there were more good people like you."
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Putting aside everything else, I very much agree with this sentence alone - it would be better if there were more people like me, so that Uzo could concentrate on exploiting them and have no time to care about me.
...No, now is not the time to think about such messed up things - what exactly does it mean to rush onto the stage?
While he was wondering, the beautiful woman felt in her pocket and suddenly pulled out a white feather.
She handed the feather to Hashimoto Maya and said, "As a fellow staff member, Hoshigawa Dougo's assistant didn't even communicate with you in advance. It seems that you don't have much trust from them. In that case, why don't you switch jobs and come to me?"
Maya Hashimoto took the feather inexplicably, and the moment she held it, the beautiful woman raised her hand and wiped it, and the feather turned into a bunch of tender flowers, with a business card with bright patterns dotted among the flowers.
When Hashimoto Maya heard the bang, she almost fell to the ground with her head in her hands and rolled over to escape... Fortunately, the crowded crowds around prevented him from turning his thoughts into actions.
Then he calmed himself down, looked down, and saw clearly the contents of the business card.
——Magician, Miyoshi Mako.
