Chapter 2681-2693 [Sneak Attack]
The group quickly set out from the detective agency and headed to the home of the famous magician.
On the other side, on the theater island which has not yet been completed.
Maya Hashimoto got up reluctantly, washed and ate reluctantly, then looked at the distant coast and sighed softly.
——After getting used to staying here, he really didn't want to go out anymore.
On the other side of the restaurant, Mrs. Sakihara, who was also enjoying the peaceful island, closed the newspaper in her hand and looked over: "You seem to be in trouble. Is your search for the magician not going well?"
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Not going well? More than not going well! He had only been ashore for one day, and in such a short time, the FBI, detectives, and annoying colleagues all swarmed out, as if they were deliberately making things difficult for his mission, which was infuriating.
But no matter how angry I am, I still have to do the task, and it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so I have to do it as soon as possible.
Hashimoto Maya was worried for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He reached into his pocket and searched for a while, and quickly took out a business card with a flower scent - this was the one given to her by the beautiful female magician when she left last night.
Maya Hashimoto looked at the business card, and the figure and appearance of the female magician slowly emerged in her mind: "..." She had good looks, good skills, and the art of speaking, and it seemed that she had the potential to be a riddler - no matter from which angle you looked at it, she was very much in line with the aesthetic of that adult.
But……
Hashimoto Maya turned the business card around with her fingertips and couldn't help asking the lawyer's wife next to her, "Tell me, under what conditions would a rising magician who has made a name for herself in the country give up her bright future and come to work on our island?"
Mrs. Sakihara was stunned for a moment, and then she began to think seriously: "If she is obsessed with her career, it may be difficult. But the pace of modern society is too fast, and many people actually have potential psychological problems, and they will have the idea of escaping accordingly. I lived on the island for a while, and I felt that except for the noisy construction, it was like a paradise in other aspects.
"If the Magic rookie is feeling exhausted from the accumulated pressure and wants to rest for a while but doesn't want to give up her career completely, then she might not refuse your invitation. After all, according to the plan you and your boss have made, if your project is successful, this will be a bigger stage.
"——You can stop and rest while keeping the path to your career. This is the best of both worlds. Sometimes it is hard to refuse."
Hashimoto Maya's eyes twitched slightly when she heard this, and she felt complicated: "..." A paradise on earth? Maybe it is like this now, but when this place officially opens, given that adult's hobby...
He skipped the topic guiltily and started thinking about how to trick the magician to come to the island: let's talk about the future later, as for now, it is more important to abduct the person and complete the current task.
"I don't really understand psychological problems, but her emotions are definitely a little off." Hashimoto Maya thought of the performance of the female magician last night, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a plan. And if that woman was really the employee that Uzo-sama had chosen...
Then he had to bite the bullet and go to her to poach her employees. He could not reveal his intention to slack off at work no matter what - he was mixed up in a group of colleagues who were all very competitive, and whether he was willing or not, for the sake of his life, he had to follow suit.
Just as he was making up his mind secretly, Mrs. Sakihara beside him seemed to see his dilemma.
"Why don't I go with you to visit her?" Mrs. Sakihara had just gotten rid of the daily necessities of life at home and was now very ambitious. She looked at her boss who was not arrogant and smiled softly, "Bringing an assistant with you will make you look more formal - maybe this can be the last straw to impress her."
…
Tokyo, a luxurious residential area.
The detectives followed Mrs. Jiuju and entered her house.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a lobby that was as big as a small square. Conan looked up at this place that was larger than an ordinary performance hall and couldn't help but mutter, "This house is really magnificent. It's worthy of being the residence of a world-famous magician."
Amuro Toru looked around and found nothing unusual, so he said to Mrs. Jiuju: "Take us to the place where your husband's body was found first."
Mrs. Jiujiu nodded and led them into a corridor.
However, at this moment, a figure came out from nowhere, stopped in front of them, and said seriously: "Wait."
Jiang Xia raised his head and saw a young man with ordinary looks and smiling eyes. He looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Yuji Momochi, the last person to become a disciple in the photo that Mrs. Jiujuku had just taken out.
Yushi Momochi stroked his chin and paced back and forth between the three guests. Finally, he stopped in front of Toru Amuro with a weird smile on his face.
Toru Amuro: "?"
"You seem..." The young man came close to him, his small eyes looking sharp, as if he could see through Amuro Toru's appearance and into his heart, "You seem to be carrying a huge worry."
Toru Amuro: “…” Yeah, I’m wondering whether you’re Uzo’s subordinate. Should I put you in a sack and take you away for investigation… Wait, why did you suddenly come out and say these? Does this person know his identity and is he provoking him?
"Hehe, there is no need to hide it. Even if you hide it, it will be useless. Because--" Just as he was thinking, Yuji Momochi smiled mysteriously, and suddenly raised his hand, which was as fast as the wind, and brushed past Amuro Toru's ear.
The next moment, he screamed: "Ahhh! Let go, are you going to strangle me to death!!"
——Originally, he planned to follow up on what he had just said and conjure up a dove from the customer's collar, telling a cold joke about the embodiment of troubles... But who would have thought that the hand speed he was so proud of was actually accurately stopped by this foreigner, and the pigeon hidden in his sleeve was also seized by the other party, and was now struggling in the other party's hands.
Thinking that there was some weapon hidden there, Toru Amuro looked at Yuji Momochi, then at the innocent-looking pigeon in his hand: "......?"
Mrs. Jiujiu came back to her senses at this time. She couldn't help laughing and said, "My husband always taught them that if they want to learn magic well, they should study the techniques all the time and integrate magic into their lives. So these three children have the habit of performing a small magic trick suddenly while talking."
Amuro Toru silently let go. He stared at Yuji Momochi who was covering his arm and hissing: "..." With this kind of skills and fighting ability, it doesn't seem like he is the employee that Uzo would choose...
Yuji Momochi wanted to cry but had no tears: "The child is too short, and other people look at him in different directions, so it's easy to be exposed when using him to perform magic. And the detective's observation ability is too sharp, so I chose you as a compromise, but you..."
How can it be so violent! Humph, a rough person who doesn't know how to appreciate art.
