Chapter 76 The Prevented Error
Just like that, with one magic show after another, the night passed quickly.
Except for the landlord, Ara Yoshinori, everyone else is young, so it is no problem to stay up all night occasionally. Even Ara Yoshinori is in high spirits in such a warm atmosphere.
As daybreak arrived, Inspector Megure and a group of police officers rushed to the villa.
As soon as they arrived at the villa, they surrounded Tanaka Kikue.
"Tanaka Kikue, I am arresting you now on suspicion of murder." Inspector Megure showed the arrest warrant in his hand and signaled his men.
The police officers immediately stepped forward and handcuffed her, and Kikue Tanaka had no intention of struggling or making excuses.
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
Inspector Megure adjusted his hat and said, "Yesterday, we found Nishiyama Mu murdered in an apartment. After investigation, we confirmed that the identity of the shadow mage was Tanaka Kikue."
"Xishanwu?" Huang Yize's face changed.
Everyone looked at him.
Araki Yoshi explained: "Xishan Wu is the King of Escape, the head of the chat room!"
After staying up all night and feeling a little dazed, everyone finally remembered what happened on the phone last night.
They all looked at Tanaka Kikue with incomprehensible eyes, not understanding why she wanted to kill people.
Tanaka Kikue sighed and said slowly, "Actually, I am the granddaughter of Harui Fuden who was instigated by you to perform an escape magic trick and died accidentally."
Everyone showed shocked expressions.
Huang Yize was shocked: "Could it be that..."
Tanaka Kikue nodded and said, "Yes, the ID that has been communicating with you all this time is the one my grandfather has been using.
I discovered this when I was sorting out my grandfather’s belongings. I was wondering why my grandfather, whose physical strength was already seriously depleted, would perform such a difficult escape magic trick.
"But that's not..."
Tanaka Kikue chuckled, her tone slightly mocking: "Yes, this is completely an accident caused by my grandfather's spur of the moment. I would not have taken my anger out on you because of this. It's just..."
Tanaka Kikue's face darkened as she spoke: "But what I cannot forgive is that after my grandfather died in an accident, two people in the chat room mocked him..."
Tanaka Kikue's eyes were cold, and she followed Hamano Toshiya fiercely: "Yes, it's you two, Nishiyama Tsutomu and Hamano Toshiya."
Everyone also remembered this incident and couldn't help but look at Hamano Toshiya who had a grim expression on his face.
Tanaka Kikue showed a sad expression: "My grandfather wrote in his notes that he planned to reveal his identity to everyone after the performance was successful, and there was also a message to be sent out after the performance, 'What did everyone think of this performance? Did you enjoy it? From the trick boy and Harui Fuden.'"
Everyone was stunned and looked sad.
Tanaka Kikue smiled bitterly: "When I saw these words, I couldn't help but feel regretful and unwilling, so I planned this gathering and intended to kill Nishiyama Mu and Hamano Toshiya..."
Hamano Toshiya's face changed, and he couldn't help but curse: "You woman..."
The others glared at him, and Hamano Toshiya shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
Tanaka Kikue ignored Hamano Toshiya, looked at Yuya and said, "Who would have thought that this detective would carry a satellite phone with him, which led to the early exposure of Nishiyama Tsutomu's death. Later, he suggested that everyone stay in the living room for a night, which made it impossible for me to carry out the subsequent plans."
Youya was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I was also entrusted by someone."
Tanaka Kikue was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Who?"
Yuya smiled: "Doi Tucker Tree."
Tanaka Kikue suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him. He seems to be the only one who guessed my grandfather's identity. He even sent an encouraging email the day before my grandfather's performance."
Everyone was puzzled.
Yuya smiled, looked around and found that Kidd was gone, so he said with relief: "Maybe he is also a magician." Facing the puzzled eyes of everyone, he explained, "Didn't you find out? Doi Takeshu is just a reversed spelling. If you rearrange the kana, you will get another name..."
Everyone thought about it for a moment and showed surprised expressions.
"Yes, it's Kaito Kidd!"
Everyone looked around for Kidd in surprise and finally found him on the roof of the villa.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't mean to hide my identity. My purpose of coming here is not to steal gems, but to investigate why Harui Fuden, who is clearly dead, is still being used by people online and even attended today's party."
Kaito Kai was wearing a white suit and a white hat that blocked most of his face, so only the part below his mouth could be seen. The cloak behind him was swaying in the wind, which made him look very cool.
Before anyone could react, one person cheered and said, "Lord Kidd! Lord Kidd, do you still remember me?"
Suzuki Sonoko jumped up and down and waved her hands, trying to attract Kid's attention.
The corner of Kidd's mouth twitched slightly, and he slipped and almost fell down.
"Ah, Lord Kidd, be careful!" Suzuki Sonoko shouted worriedly.
Kidd adjusted his hat and said loudly, "Well, there is no stage for me here anymore. Goodbye!"
As he said this, he jumped down from the roof, spread out the glider behind him amid the exclamations of the crowd, and flew away hurriedly with the help of the wind.
That back figure looked like someone had seen something scary and was running away.
Suzuki Sonoko sighed deeply and said regretfully, "If I had known that Mr. Kidd was here, I would have brought a video camera and a camera. Ah~ my handsome Mr. Kidd, I didn't take a picture of him flying~"
The others were speechless and couldn't help but turn their heads away to avoid looking at Suzuki Sonoko's infatuated look.
Conan lowered his eyes and looked at Yuya: "You already knew his identity?"
Yuya nodded, looking nonchalant, "Yeah."
Conan said angrily, "Then why don't you arrest him?"
Yuya shrugged his shoulders: "Why catch him? You know how hard it is to catch Kidd, and since he's not here to steal the gems, why should I waste my energy? And if he hadn't told me, I might not have had a chance to stop Tanaka Kikue from killing people."
Conan was silent for a while, then sighed softly.
Yuya laughed secretly in his heart, Conan, you'd better not push Kid too hard, otherwise you will cry when you ask him for help in the future.
For a while, Mao Lilan strongly suspected that he was Kudo Shinichi, which almost drove Conan crazy.
In the end, it was Kidd who managed to impersonate and get away with it, otherwise it would be hard to say what the outcome would have been.
I wonder when this plot will happen? With Yuya's cover, Mao Lilan doesn't seem to doubt Conan's identity.
Was it postponed, or was there no doubt at all?
