Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

However, the Kudo Yusaku in the corner of his eye didn't seem to open his mouth?

Inspector Megure turned to look at Kudo Yusaku with some confusion, wanting to confirm the specific situation, but Kudo Yusaku walked directly in front of the corpse, with his back to Inspector Megure, so that Inspector Megure could not see the changes in his facial expression.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku's voice is still ringing.

"Next to the deceased's head, there was a five-yen coin stained with blood."

"This coin is usually a special coin used by worshippers at shrines or when making wishes at wishing fountains. The fact that this coin has appeared here, and is placed next to the deceased, must have special significance."

The Death God Elementary School Student took out the voice changer and spoke without hesitation under the cover of his father.

"My impression is that he used a five-yen coin as a symbol, often shot people in the forehead, and liked to wear black clothes."

"It seems that within Tokyo, there's only one person who meets all of these characteristics—that's the urban legend of Beika Town, the half-human, half-ghost, master of the spear, Yan Shuangying!"

————Yan Shuangying? Are you kidding? Yan Shuangying is dead!

Inspector Megure widened his eyes and was about to retort, but he saw Kudo Yusaku turn around and speak gently.

"I know that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's internal announcement stated that Yan Shuangying died in the collapse of an abandoned magic venue."

"But in reality, no one has ever actually seen Yan Shuangying's body. The horribly damaged body found at the scene didn't have any signs of Yan Shuangying near it, so no one can conclude that Yan Shuangying is truly dead."

"If it is true that Yan Shuangying killed Maeyoshi, he would have left this five-yen coin behind."

"Then I think Yan Shuangying probably just wanted to tell you about his actions, Inspector Megure. If he hadn't left this five-yen coin, the case would have become an unsolved case, wouldn't it?"

Although he said so, Inspector Megure couldn't admit it directly.

Because the top brass of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department unanimously believed that Yan Shuangying was dead, and the internal notice also said that Yan Shuangying was dead. If he wrote in the report at this time that Yan Shuangying was not dead and had killed a criminal, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the top brass?

However, this situation really seems to be the work of Yan Shuangying. If I don't write more about it, there will be no way to end it.

Inspector Megure rubbed his forehead with his hand as if he had a headache. Suddenly, he had an idea and said seriously.

"This was done by Yan Shuangying's imitator!"

————Anyway, I’ll just say it was an imitation crime, at least it sounds reasonable.

As for how the gossip spreads, he has no control over it.

The Death Elementary School Student shrugged helplessly. He stood up, looked at the crowd outside the public car, and narrowed his eyes.

A figure in a black coat was standing there at this moment, looking at Conan, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd, without a trace.

The urban legend of Beika Town has returned.

I'm a little unsure about how the plot of The Magician of Silver Wing should go, so I'd like to hear your opinions.

Family members, how do you think the plot of "Magician of the Silver Wing" should be developed?

Because most of the plot of this movie takes place on a plane, and the plane's loss of control was caused by multiple coincidental factors, which could have been avoided. My idea is that the protagonist was also on the plane, but prevented the plane from crashing.

However, this also means that the plot of "Blade Master" has been completely changed.

Everyone thinks that I will continue to make changes like I did with "The Magician of the Century" and "The Bride of Halloween" until the whole book is finished, and most of the developments will be in the same scenario in the theatrical version.

Just keep the original plot development and just let the protagonist board the plane to rescue later?

Well... I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts. As long as I make up my mind, the outline of the next chapter can be written quickly. I can share the previously owed chapters, and if I write eight chapters a day, I can finish it in four days.

Chapter 221 What’s the situation in Beihua Town? (3/5)

"Yan Shuangying...isn't he still alive?"

"This is to be expected. After all, there was only one body found in the abandoned magic theater. And it had silver hair, not black. It's impossible for him to die in the theater."

The high school student who had returned from studying in England took a sip of coffee.

Ever since Yan Shuangying disappeared, Hattori Heiji returned to Hokkaido, Koshimizu Nanatsuki disappeared near Shinno Prefecture, and the Shinigami Elementary School student left Beika Town to go stargazing elsewhere, the only person who can be considered the crime nemesis in Tokyo is Hakuba Tan.

A famous high school detective who can mobilize the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's police force and whose reasoning ability is no less than Kudo Shinichi.

While investigating the mysterious organization's illusionist Spider, Hakuba is also looking into the new notice recently sent by Kaito Kid, investigating the whereabouts of the Black Organization, and solving the endless incidents in Beika Town.

In general, although the progress is touching, at least the progress of the four parties has not been left behind.

"Inspector Shiratori, I heard it's finally your and Inspector Megure's turn to take administrative leave. Where are you planning on going?"

Hakuba Tan was wearing the Sherlock Holmes COS costume and didn't care about the gazes of other visitors in Rimei Paradise at all - he felt that there was nothing to hide, as the deceased this time was [Kamen Rider].

Inspector Shiratori Nisaburo, who led the team to investigate, shook his head and sighed.

"I'm planning to go on vacation to Hokkaido this time. I hope there won't be any major incidents that will require me to work overtime."

"The previous Tokyo National Stadium incident forced me to be on duty in Tokyo on New Year's Day. I haven't had a real day off since then."

At this time, the police officer who arrested someone according to Detective Hakuba's reasoning also brought the suspect to Detective Hakuba and Inspector Shiratori, and the suspect was indignant and questioned Inspector Shiratori.

"Why are you arresting me? I'm not the murderer. This was clearly just an accident. The rubber band broke due to heavy use..."

"Mr. Otake, the deceased's movements were different from normal ones. Mr. Hosono was a very professional performer, so there wouldn't be any problems with his movements. Also, there are traces of gunpowder explosions on his ankles."

Bai Ba Tan took another sip of coffee and spoke calmly and bluntly.

"The rubber band was intentionally blown apart. Furthermore, Mr. Hosono didn't die from the fall; he was murdered before that. The autopsy report is on its way, and the exact time of death will be given soon."

"Furthermore, according to the employee's description, you had a conflict with the deceased, Mr. Hosono, and you have no alibi."

————What? There's actually a police officer in Beika Town who can produce an autopsy report?!

The suspect Otake Wataru's face was full of shock.

It's not that he is inexperienced, but there are not many practicing forensic doctors in Japan. More than 90% of the bodies are not autopsied, but are directly closed with a label of unnatural death.

How did this high school student manage to find a forensic doctor who could produce an autopsy report within an hour and perform the autopsy directly?

If Otake Wataru knew that Hakuba Tan was the only son of Superintendent Hakuba of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, he would probably smile with relief.

"Finally, Mr. Otake, I would like to ask, what was your motive for committing the crime?"

Hakuba Tan put the coffee cup aside, raised his eyebrows and asked.

This was the only matter he had not deduced or investigated. If there was no motive for the crime, it would be difficult for the prosecutor to complete the case filing and prosecution procedures. Therefore, now that he had the opportunity, it would be better for him to ask on the prosecutor's side.

At this moment, Dayue She, whose soul was already shaken by the power of money, fell to his knees and cried out in pain.

"Of course it's because of that bastard...that bastard actually said I wasn't qualified to perform as Kamen Rider! I've put in a lot of effort for this, so why should I just be a substitute who never gets a chance to play?!"

----What?

Detective Hakuba blinked and turned to look at Shiratori Jinzaburo next to him. Inspector Shiratori, as if nothing had happened, had Otake Wataru taken away to take a statement. Only then did he notice Detective Hakuba's gaze, so Shiratori Jinzaburo was a little confused.

"What's wrong? Detective Hakuba, is there something wrong with the motive?"

"...I've been wanting to ask this for a week now. Why do the motives and methods used by the citizens of Beika Town seem so bizarre? Where do they get these illegal controlled substances?"

The famous detective who had returned from studying in England didn't understand and was shocked.

The people here are a bit too free. Yesterday, there was a criminal who designed a plan to force a train to stop for the purpose of murder. His purpose was to create chaos when the train suddenly stopped and then kill people.

It's like you can't survive in Beika Town without some fun when killing people!

"...I don't know about that either. Maybe it's just the local customs and practices."

Shiratori Jinzaburo has become accustomed to this.

Haha, some people even thought that the asymmetrical design of buildings was the reason for the explosion of the Beika Town City Hall and the Shinkansen. Now that's just a little bit off the mark! If you make a fuss about something like that, you won't be able to survive in Beika Town.

Bai Ma Tan hadn't encountered so many cases before, entirely because Mould was conducting a large-scale investigation here.

Now that both the mold and the ministers are no longer paying attention to the situation in Beika Town, those gods who have been quiet for a whole week will come out to stir up trouble and continue to commit crimes that are intolerable with motives that are intolerable by heaven and earth, right?

"Oh, did you just mention our vacation destination? We're planning to go to Muroran City in Hokkaido."

"The Swan Bridge over there is said to be spectacular. I plan to go there with Inspector Megure to take a look. I originally wanted to ask Officer Sato to come along, but Officer Sato said he had something to attend to and couldn't go..."

"Detective Hakuba, how about you? I heard you seem to have transferred to Ekoda High School? Why don't I see you in school?"

————You said that as if other high school detectives just go to school obediently.

Bai Ma Tan didn't intend to say more on this topic.

He knew that Kaito Kid's true identity was Kuroba Kaito, so he transferred to Ekoda High School, intending to take this opportunity to catch Kaito Kid's shadow and win this [Phantom Thief Game] fairly.

The next step is to ensure that the killer codenamed "Spider" cannot attack Kuroba Kaito.

In addition, he met a very interesting female classmate at Jianggutian High School——

That was a female classmate named [Koizumi Akako]. Hakuba Tan felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable sense of mystery about her, as if she was hiding some special identity just like Kuroba Kaito.

"Inspector Shiratori, I'd like to wish you a pleasant trip and vacation in advance."

Bai Ma Tan said softly.

"Because I won't be staying for long. I'll be going back to England to study soon. Maybe you won't see me when you come back from vacation."

Chapter 222: First meeting with Koizumi Hongzi (4/5)

At this moment, Hakuba Tan's high school classmate, who is believed to have a special identity like Kuroba Kaito, is...

The girl known as the "Red Mage" was staring at the mysterious man in black who had appeared in the school at some point in time.

"Aoko, look, this is a new magic trick I prepared. It may look like an ordinary flower, but..."

An ordinary high school magician is trying to perform a magic prank by turning the flowers in his hand into fake insects to scare his childhood sweetheart, but his childhood sweetheart just looks at him in confusion.

The reason is simple, because the flower in the magic high school student's hand has not changed at all.

"…but it's actually just a normal flower, haha."

Kaito Kuroba was a little embarrassed and put the hand holding the flower behind his back. His fingers kept groping for the magic props he had prepared earlier, but he didn't touch anything, as if someone had taken the props away when he wasn't paying attention.

But who can take away his magic props in front of the second-generation Kaito Kid, one of the world's top magicians?

"Is this what you're looking for, Kaito-kun?"

The Red Mage's voice came from the side.

Kuroba Kaito immediately turned his head to look at the fake insect that was held in Koizumi Anko's hand, with only a corner of it exposed. The corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously, and he could hardly keep a poker face.

Seeing the rare failed magic performance, Aoko Nakamori laughed.
