Chapter 944: One of Three Dead Is Scheduled
The three magicians at the scene were stunned and speechless.
Everyone is a magician, and they all know the basic routines, but the key is that they can't see how Fujino did it.
The most intuitive feeling is: What kind of magic is this? It is obviously magic, right?
Just clap your hands and get what you want?
This is terrible.
Being able to achieve this effect means that the other party's magic skills are infinitely more advanced than yours.
"Detective Fujino is actually Kuroba Toichi's apprentice...?"
Xinghe Tongwu was calmer than the other two, and asked curiously: "Why have I never heard of it?"
Fujino explained calmly: "He died eight years ago. Although I don't know whether he is dead or not, there is indeed no trace. And most of the people in our lineage are not magicians, so naturally there are very few." Someone knows."
There are indeed no magicians. They all work as actors, cadres of mysterious organizations, world-wide wanted thieves, and detectives.
"Looks like we're about the same."
Xinghe Tongwu laughed: "My master is Zhengying. He also disappeared suddenly ten years ago. I still don't know where he went."
"Old man, he might be hiding somewhere."
The bearded man next to him made a joke, and then introduced himself to Fujino: "My name is Fan Tianli, and I am also a disciple of Master Masakage... Speaking of such a young magician like you, the last time I saw him was this kid Xinghe... …By the way, are you interested in performing a four-person magic trick with us?”
"I'll forget it, I'm best at practical close-range magic, and conjuring items out of thin air." Fujino shook his head slightly, not interested in it: "As for large-scale magic, I have never learned anything similar. "
"Then it's just the three of us..."
Fan Tianli touched his beard: "Three of them feel a bit incongruous. Otherwise, let's call Sanada Ichisan, who is almost as famous as Xinghe... I have already thought of a name, and I will call him the Four Magic Kings. Magical show.”
"The key is whether he will accept it?"
Xinghe Tongwu mentioned it at this time: "Although we are all magicians, we don't know him."
"Let's forget about this for now. It doesn't matter even if there are three of us. It's just adding to the mix anyway. Let's go to Teacher Masakage's house and talk about this later."
Fan Tianli said, turning to look at Fujino and others: "By the way, do you want to go together?"
"Um?"
Fujino was confused when he heard this: "Is it appropriate for us to go?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it."
Fan Tianli laughed heartily and said: "After all, we are all fellow magicians. It just so happens that we can also exchange experiences about magic. Moreover, we have to perform magic after dinner. It would be a pity if there is no audience. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Of course, in fact, today is the day that Teacher Zhengying disappeared for ten years. With you as a detective here, there may be no clues that can be found in Teacher Zhengying's home."
"Yeah?"
Fujino narrowed his eyes, feeling like he was about to die.
…………
In this way, the group arrived at the home of the magician Zhengying.
What greeted everyone was Zhengying's wife, Zhengying Manli, a middle-aged woman with wrinkles on her face.
MR Masakage has three apprentices, namely Xinghe Togo, Fan Tianli, and the woman named Himemiya Nobuyoshi who just turned a cigar into a rose.
Xinghe Tongwu has a more easy-going personality and seems to be a good person, Fan Tianli is almost an enthusiastic uncle with an eccentric personality, and Himemiya Zhanzi has a tricky personality and is a bit self-centered.
Okay, now that the four of us are together, it’s time to choose one of the three, right?
Fujino showed his dead eyes and looked at the people in front of him, thinking silently in his mind:
Judging from the current situation, there is no contradiction between these four.
But the character should have begun to emerge, and Himemiya Nobuyoshi is definitely the one who died this time.
The murderer is still uncertain.
Among the several apprentices, Fan Tianli is the most filial one. Since Zhengying disappeared, he has come to Zhengying's house almost every year on this day, hoping to see his teacher return.
However, there has been no news for ten years.
Fujino also felt a little confused about this matter.
Judging from the descriptions of these people, Zhengying should have disappeared after leaving home ten years ago, and there was no accident. He truly disappeared from the world.
This way of disappearing is really strange.
Fujino felt that this Masakage might have been involved in some mysterious organization, and then went missing just like Kuroba Toichi, right?
But, it has little to do with him.
Xinghe Tongwu looked at the familiar house and sighed sincerely: "Speaking of which, the three of us used to receive special training from the teacher here. In the blink of an eye, we haven't been here together for several years."
"yes……"
Zhengying Manli nodded, "But speaking of Xinghe, you came here to play when you were a child before you became a disciple. In the blink of an eye, the child has grown so big."
"By the way, Mr. Xinghe should be twenty-eight years old."
At this time, Toyama and Ye suddenly mentioned: "If we were young, wouldn't Mr. Xinghe be the eldest disciple of Mr. Zhengying?"
"Huh?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha with resentment: "How do you know him so well, even how old he is?"
Toyama Kazuha showed dead eyes: "Because it's written in the character introduction of the magic show just now, did you really watch it?"
"Who would pay attention to this kind of thing?"
Fujiano glanced back at Kazuha and Hattori, feeling a little helpless.
These two have always been like this, noisy, more than friends but less than lovers.
If things had gone normally, these two should have gotten together a long time ago.
It's a pity that a certain old thief is at work, and he has to do something fancy every time.
For example, hugging someone's arm to the chest when frightened, being touched by others in fancy ways, to make Conan or Hattori jealous, it feels quite disgusting.
The same is true for Xiaolan.
At least when he is present, these mysterious operations will be interrupted by him before they are cast.
Just as Hattori and Kazuha were arguing and Fujino was thinking, Himimiya Nobuko suddenly spoke up: "But it's just a title after all. Who is the eldest disciple or something, in the end it all depends on one's own strength, surpassing the teacher in the level of magic!"
After a pause, she said confidently: "When the joint performance comes, I will perform a finale magic!
"Set up a huge cross in the audience, then tie myself to the cross, fill the firewood below with gasoline, and suddenly disappear before the cross burns out, and then suddenly appear from the ashes of the burnt firewood!"
"I have thought of the name of this super magic, it's called Witch's Resurrection! "
Himiya Tenko was talking in a frivolous manner, and the atmosphere around her suddenly became strange.
Fan Tianli, Xinghe Tongwu, and Zhengying Manli were all looking at her with a strange and surprised look.
It was as if they were looking at a fool.
And Fujino looked around at the few people, and finally locked his eyes on her.
Here comes the classic killing part!
