Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

"The way of magic..."

Conan muttered, a curious expression on his face.

"Finally, the acting director is Ms. Kuroda, and Ms. Tanaka next to me will be in charge of boiling water. As for the planning of the final entertainment program, it will be handled by Hamano himself."

Winette skipped the troublesome parts.

Conan was obviously a little disappointed, with an expression that was almost speechless, and he looked like a little adult in a complicated way - although he was originally one - and no one else knew it. However, Winette knew him inside out, and he himself was also aware of this matter.

Deliberately not telling him what he wants to hear.

This expression expresses this.

"Could it be that Uncle Hamano stayed in the room alone because he was preparing for an entertainment show?"

"Ah."

Xiaolan nodded:

"That's why he went back to his room."

"What were the others doing at that time?"

Someone's reasoning disorder started to flare up again. Xiaolan was confused by his question and didn't know how to express herself. Because there were so many people and she was helping him put on his coat, her thoughts were not very coherent, so she just answered that everyone had their own tasks.

"I think no one should use the stairs."

Winnett intended to satisfy his curiosity a little and then shut him up.

When Xiaolan was helping him smooth out the folds of his coat, Miss Tanaka became a little impatient and urged Xiaolan:

"Xiaolan, please hurry up. We don't know if the Shadow Mage is waiting for an opportunity to strike..."

Her concerns were shared by most people, but Winnett felt that the existence of Shadow Mages was still unknown.

Using an online account not only allows you to conceal your true identity, but also allows one person to have multiple accounts at the same time.

There was a very suspicious guy next to her.

"Don't worry, Maori is very skilled."

Vermouth, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"Good skills?"

Doito blinked and looked at Xiaolan in confusion, as if asking, "How could such a delicate girl do that?" If he had seen Xiaolan take action, his worldview would probably be broken. Even Winnett found it incredible. Xiaolan did not have strong muscles. Even compared to her, she was "weak". However, the reality was that she could generate terrifying destructive power with her strength skills.

Stunned, Doita turned his head around, as if to confirm with the people around him.

Miss Tanaka shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Winette nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Well, if the Shadow Mage shows up, Xiaolan can knock him down in about three seconds."

Having said that, if the Shadow Mage also has some quirks, like Takahashi did back then, and dresses up as a bandaged monster for a scary look, then the frightened Xiaolan probably won't be able to exert even 10% of her strength.

Winnett felt a little strange. The first thing to do in martial arts is to develop courage, which is equally important for attacking and being beaten. She is not afraid of opponents who are taller than her, but is afraid of ghosts and monsters. She is just like a cute contrast character in a cartoon.

"Ah, this is really reassuring."

Ms. Tanaka smiled.

Xiaolan gave Winnet a reproachful look.

It's almost like a sudden disaster.

She never mentioned Xiaolan's fighting ability. It is human nature not to want to mention other people who have made similar achievements when they have made terrible achievements in one direction. She did not tell Vermouth about this at all.

It is intriguing how she knew about Xiaolan, but it was also sending a signal to her that she knew about Xiaolan and had had contact with her in the past.

The connections Winnet could think of were all very vague. Maybe it was related to Xiaolan's mother, or maybe it was related to -

Xiaolan closed the collar of Conan's coat, stood up, took his hand and prepared to go out. Miss Tanaka's words just now made her speed up.

The next room is Miss Tanaka's room.

Both rooms are on the same floor.

Miss Tanaka seemed to be holding her breath as she gently pushed the door open. She lived in a single room, and there was only a bed opposite the door, on which her coat was spread out.

The only places in the whole room where people could hide were the separate wardrobe and the drawn curtains, so there was nothing to worry about.

Just as she was about to retreat back to the corridor—

boom!

There was a sudden sound of shattering windows.

Winnet turned sideways and saw Miss Tanaka hunched over the bed. She turned back in astonishment and saw a crossbow arrow stuck diagonally above the light switch next to the door.

"What!?"

"Why are there arrows?"

Soon Xiaolan's voice was heard.

What made Winnet feel a little unusual was that Miss Tanaka not only did not move away from the room out of fear, but instead walked towards the window.

Although her previous words showed that she was a person with a strong personality, she was clearly on guard against the Shadow Mage just now, but now she took the initiative to go to the window.

"Danger!"

Winnet opened her mouth and shouted.

This is the second floor. If the Shadow Mage just shot from the balcony, then there is a possibility that he is still there now.

"Get away from the window!"

Conan shouted as well.

Once the curtain is touched and new movement is created, it is almost equivalent to telling the person shooting the crossbow arrow "there is someone here". If the first arrow was a test of luck, then the second time will not fail.

"You are so reckless!"

Seeing that verbal warnings had no effect, Winnet stepped on the bed in the room, jumped behind Miss Tanaka, and pulled her sideways to the ground the moment she opened the balcony door.

"Oh, I'm so angry..."

Ms. Tanaka looked a little annoyed, but before she could say anything like sorry, the same window breaking sound was heard again. The similarity made Winnett think it was the same one, but from downstairs.

"what!"

A shrill female voice sounded.

Winnett didn't have time to care about Tanaka who had fallen to the ground. She quickly got up and ran towards the door. The shout just now was from Sonoko, which meant that the other party had used the same crossbow to do something similar on the first floor.

too fast.

The interval is only about fifteen seconds.

Let’s not consider how the other party got from the second floor to the first floor. Just finding the target and shooting is an extremely difficult task.

Of course, threats are another matter.

Xiaolan's worry about Sonoko attracted Conan and the others to run to the first floor. Winnet rubbed her temple, gave up the idea of ​​jumping directly to the first floor, and followed behind.

At the intersection leading to the corridor on the first floor, there were the backs of Ara Yoshinori and Sukama.

"Sonoko! Where's Sonoko!?"

"She's in the bathroom with Miss Kuroda."

Araki pointed to the inside of the corridor and said.

At the end of the corridor, only Miss Kuroda could be seen.

"What happened?"

Vermouth had a serious look on her face, as if it was because she was playing the role of a man with good physique, and she was rushing to the front among the few people.

"The glass is broken..."

Miss Kuroda answered subconsciously, and then immediately organized her thoughts:

"We heard the sound of glass breaking in the bathroom, so we went there to take a look..."

While she was explaining, Conan had already passed her and rushed to the bathroom. Winnet followed him and opened the outer door and the glass door one after another, and found that Sonoko was just kneeling on the ground, safe and sound.

Winnet breathed a sigh of relief, at least nothing happened to the garden.

Later, others also crowded into the bathroom. As the hot water inside was still steaming, the feeling of crowding became even more obvious.

"The arrow shot into the mirror..."

After Conan muttered this, Winnett noticed that the arrow was shot from the small sliding window under the bathroom ceiling. Considering the height of a person, the angle chosen was too tricky.

"So... someone wants to attack us from outside."

Araki Yize murmured upon seeing this.

Winnet couldn't deny what she heard.

Although the two arrows were shot randomly, it is possible that the opponent was playing cat and mouse with them to make them tense. However, there is another possibility -

"You must be kidding! You really pissed me off!"

At this time, the sound of Miss Tanaka's roar and running came from outside the door.

370 Her Concern

Miss Tanaka rushed out the door. Her action caused Xiaolan and the others to worry, so they ignored the potential danger and followed her. Opposite the bathroom was the snow on the left side of the door, where there was a pine path with scattered footprints that had not been covered. Winette, who had chased out, squatted in the snow and put her hands in the snow to feel the size and shape of the footprints. Unfortunately, this seemed to be misleading.

The footprints were very scattered and severely damaged, and the size was also very common, probably because the shoes she wore were not so suitable. Winnett slowly stood up and saw Miss Tanaka shouting at the murderer who was suspected to be hiding in the forest.

"Look, the forest is full of footprints."

Miss Kuroda noticed Winnet's actions and alerted the others.

"So there really are people hiding in the forest?"

Araki looked down, then murmured to himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants the murderer to be among them, even if it is just a possibility.

Winnett felt the wind weakening a little beside her and whispered:

"These footprints are so messy, it seems like they were made on purpose for us to see."

"Well, that seems to be the case."

"Well, you're not interested? I didn't want to come in the first place, but you obviously dragged me here."

Winnet looked unhappy and thought: She is so weird.

"Because what I wanted to see didn't happen. That man named Hamano was just unlucky, and it has nothing to do with me. Oh, by the way, why are you so concerned about reasoning?"

After Vermouth said this, Winnet realized that she was trying to find out the truth. She exhaled white air and patted the snow on her hands.

"Just curious, because—"

In fact, it is an action after getting used to it.

"I'm still curious about the means by which he was transported to the snow."

Winnet stroked her chin and pondered.

"Although there are many ways to do it as long as the props are prepared in advance, it can be called 'magic' in criminal methods to do it so seamlessly and deceive others. Also, you said you are interested in magic, right?"

"Ah."

Vermouth didn't continue talking, but her eyes were on Conan who arrived later.

At this time, Sonoko suddenly slipped and fell on her buttocks, as if she was frightened by the conclusion drawn by Araki Yoshinori. Sudden incidents occurred one after another, and Miss Tanaka, who was at the front, also fell. To be honest, on this snowy ground full of footprints, it was not very slippery, especially since it was muddy underneath, which had a low water content and would not frost, so it was not easy to fall.

"be careful!"

Huang Yi shouted, and Xiaolan beside him ran over to check the situation and greeted him with concern.

If you injure your ankle, it will be quite troublesome.

"Since you are so familiar with Maoli. Then do you know the little boy next to her? When did he appear next to her?"
