Chapter 2686-2698 [Case Closed]
Mrs. Jiujiu sighed: After so many twists and turns, things have returned to the starting point. The cruel truth is before her - the person who killed her husband was among the three apprentices she had been with day and night.
"But who did it?" Mrs. Jiujiu pinched her brows with a headache, "My husband should not have done anything wrong to them, and those three children don't look like cruel people..."
Jiang Xia pointed to the long string of garbled characters on the phone screen: "Your husband has already written down the murderer. These numbers separated by * are the letters he left behind - for example, the first group, '126871' is difficult to decipher at first glance, but if you press these keys on the phone in order."
He made a vague movement with his finger: "It will become a letter, 'D'."
"I see!" Mrs. Ninety-Nine finally understood. She quickly looked at the next set of numbers, "'32489'... This is 'C'."
After invisible drawing, the four groups of numbers quickly turned into letters and appeared in front of everyone.
[DCマコ]
"'Mako'... Asako?"
Mrs. Jiujiu looked at the two pseudonyms and immediately matched them with the beautiful and thoughtful female student. She couldn't believe it for a moment, "How could it be Ma Zi? Is there any misunderstanding? - Oh, there is 'DC' in front, which is not her name. Could it be that my husband wanted to use Ma Zi's name to convey some information in a hurry?"
Jiang Xia looked at the watch: "I remember you said before that your husband likes classical music very much. There is a piano in this basement. The symbol 'D.C' often appears on music scores. This is the Italian word da capo, which means to go back to the beginning and play again."
Amuro Toru's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly said: "The deceased might have thought at the time that Miyoshi Mazi wanted to kill more than one person."
Mrs. Jiujiu was stunned, then she suddenly jumped up: "Fumino...Fumino is with her!"
Jiang Xia consoled him, "Don't worry. It's been so many days since the first murder. If they wanted to kill someone, they would have done it long ago. Why not make a phone call and ask where that pockmarked lady is now?"
Mrs. Ninety-Nine: "..."
…
The group ran out of the basement and ran into the magician's other two apprentices.
Mrs. Jiujiu gave a brief explanation and pulled the two men into the search team.
They went to all the places where Kujuku Fumino and Miyoshi Asako often went shopping, but found nothing. Finally, a group of people had to return to the Kujuku family's house to see if the two people had returned.
"I didn't quite understand what you said just now." Baidi Yushi scratched his head and spoke hesitantly, "Senior Sister Mazi killed Master? Is that true? Didn't they always get along harmoniously? Master also admired her and rarely scolded her. How did it suddenly develop to the point of wanting to kill someone?"
Jiang Xia glanced at the street corner in the distance: "Maybe it's because of some old grudges, such as the young magician playing with fire in the basement."
Baidi Yushi looked confused: "Who? What magician who plays with fire?"
Sanada Kazuzo's expression suddenly changed: "Sure enough, it's because of Kinoshita Yoshiro..."
When the name was mentioned, Yuji Momochi had an impression of it. He was still upset about it and muttered softly: "Are you talking about the genius magician who unfortunately passed away 14 years ago? - Because he died accidentally during practice, after the news report came out, my parents said they would never agree to me learning magic. If it weren't for this incident, I would have embarked on this path a long time ago. Maybe then I would be the second magic genius to shock the Tokyo magic world..."
Mrs. Jiujiu pushed aside the silly apprentice who couldn't grasp the main point and rushed to Sanada Kazumi: "What do you mean by 'as expected'? Do you know something?"
Sanada Kazuzo hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
Finally, he sighed and confessed, "I couldn't sleep at night and wanted to go to the basement to kill time. Unexpectedly, the lights in the basement were on, and there were other people there.
"I walked to the door in confusion and looked inside, and saw Ma Zi standing by the wall, holding the photo very fondly.
"I didn't ask much at the time. I just felt like I had discovered someone's secret, so I left quietly and awkwardly. In fact, I had a bad feeling at the time, and I always felt that something was about to happen... But I didn't expect that she would end up killing someone."
"Hmm? You already know that."
As they were chatting, a voice came from the side and joined their conversation smoothly.
After two seconds, everyone came back to their senses. They turned around and saw the person they were discussing just now, carrying Jiujiu Wenno on his back, walking towards them slowly.
"Funno!" Mrs. Kyujuku called her daughter's name and rushed towards Miyoshi Asako anxiously.
Miyoshi Mako turned around and let her take the sleeping child off her back. Seeing the nervous look of the master's wife, she laughed softly: "What are you afraid of? She just fell asleep."
After a pause, the smile on her lips became more sarcastic: "In fact, I should have let her sleep longer and longer... just like my brother did back then."
The two fellow disciples looked at her in shock and repeated in different tones: "Your brother?"
"Yes, that's Kinoshita Yoshiro you just mentioned - the magic genius who won the magic award at the age of 20 and attracted much attention from all sides."
Miyoshi Mazi lowered his head and stretched his wrists, which were sore from holding the child. "My parents passed away early, and my brother raised me since I was a child. He is my only relative. We supported each other and went through a long period of hard times. Later, everything was finally getting better... But at this moment, that guy killed him as easily as stepping on an ant."
Mrs. Jiujiu had some guesses, but she didn't dare to believe it: "The 'guy' you mentioned..."
"Who else could it be?" Miyoshi Mako raised her head, and her eyes, which always hid emotions in the past, were filled with clear hatred. "Of course it's the 'top magician' Jiujiu Yuankang who is jealous of my brother's talent and worried that this apprentice will surpass him and overshadow him."
"This is impossible!" Mrs. Jiujiu gritted her teeth and said, "Is there some misunderstanding? Magic performances are inherently dangerous..."
"No need to explain for him, I saw it all with my own eyes." Miyoshi Mazi snorted coldly, "14 years ago, my brother was going to perform a magic trick of escaping from water. I also went backstage that day to witness his first performance after becoming an apprentice.
"While wandering around backstage, I accidentally found Jiujiu Yuankang squatting next to the prop box, fiddling with a pair of metal handcuffs."
