Chapter 173 Using Magic Under the Guise of Magic (First Update, Please Vote)

Faced with the three children's curious gazes, Suzuki Haruaki calmly asked, "Does any of you have a handkerchief on you?"

"Seimei, is this handkerchief alright?"

As Ayumi finished speaking, she pulled a handkerchief with a Pikachu pattern from her pocket and handed it to Suzuki Seimei.

"can!"

Suzuki Seimei smiled and nodded, covering his right hand, which was adorned with a storage ring, with a handkerchief. He said in a melodious tone, "Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!"

Swish! ! !

With a slight flick of his right hand, Suzuki Seimei caused the handkerchief, which should have been pressed tightly against his palm, to suddenly bulge out of thin air.

Under the incredulous gazes of Genta and the others, Suzuki Seimei slowly lifted the handkerchief, revealing a can of cola emitting cold air.

Iced cola!

Seeing Suzuki Seimei fabricate something out of thin air, not only did the three children show expressions of disbelief, but even Ai Haibara and Conan widened their eyes, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

"Ayumi, you can have this iced cola!"

As soon as Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he shoved the can of cola, which was emitting cold air, into Ayumi's hand.

Pfft!

Ayumi stared at the can of cola in her hand for a while, then hesitantly pulled the tab and took a small sip.

"It really is Coke, and it's ice-cold!"

Savoring the unique taste of ice-cold cola, Ayumi's eyes lit up, and she looked at Suzuki Seimei with eyes full of admiration, "Seimei, your magic is amazing!"

"So-so, third in the country."

Suzuki Seimei smiled modestly, then turned to Conan and the others and said, "Don't worry, everyone will get a share!"

Under the curious and expectant gazes of Conan and his friends, Suzuki Seimei once again covered his right hand with a handkerchief and produced five more cans of chilled cola.

After conjuring the drinks, Suzuki Seimei also conjured up two buckets of popcorn, two bags of dried squid, and two bags of raisins.

Seeing Suzuki Seimei conjure up such a huge pile of things, not only Genta and the others, but even Conan and Ai Haibara were starting to question their existence.

Are you sure this is magic?!

You're not pretending to be performing magic tricks, but actually playing some kind of sorcery, are you?

While magic tricks involving creating something from nothing are common, magicians who perform these tricks often wear very cool clothes and jackets, which can conceal many things.

The clothes that Suzuki Seimei was wearing were just very common casual wear.

What's more, those two large buckets of popcorn were bigger than Genta's head combined. How did Suzuki Seimei manage to hide all that popcorn on his person?

After recovering from their shock, Genta and the others couldn't help but surround Suzuki Seimei and ask him about the secret of this magic trick.

However, Suzuki Seimei ruthlessly rejected them all, using the biggest rule for magicians—that they cannot voluntarily reveal the secrets of magic—as an excuse.

It's not that Suzuki Seimei was reluctant to teach them this magic trick, but rather that what he just performed wasn't magic at all.

Suzuki Seimei had simply placed some snacks and drinks in his storage ring beforehand, and then used a handkerchief as a distraction to take them out of the storage ring.

Of course!

Having mastered the highest level of magic skills, Suzuki Seimei could also use magic techniques to perform magic tricks that create something from nothing.

However, in that case, Suzuki Seimei would have to prepare the corresponding magic props in advance.

Meanwhile, in the broadcast van of Nichiuri TV, where they were responsible for filming the football match, director Hyuga Kaneko suddenly received a strange phone call.

Hinata Kaneko took the phone from the staff member, and while watching the live broadcast in front of her, asked somewhat impatiently, "Hello? Who is this? What do you want?"

"I'll only say this once, so listen carefully, otherwise I don't know how many innocent people will die later."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kaneko's expression changed drastically.

These threatening phone calls!

"In the front row of the right-hand section of the main stands, there are a few children leaning against the armrest. You should be able to see them, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kaneko immediately ordered the staff, "Quickly focus the camera of camera number 13 on the front row of the audience seats on the right."

"Yes!"

As soon as the director gave the order, camera number 13 quickly locked onto the audience seats on the right.

Six little ones, led by Seimei Suzuki, also appeared in the camera's view.

"puff!"

A faint whooshing sound rang out. On the field directly below Suzuki Haruaki and his team, a soccer ball suddenly bounced high into the air, then deflated and landed flat on the ground.

Because the audience's attention was mostly focused on the players on the field, only a very few people noticed the unusual explosion of the football.

Haruaki Suzuki, who had no interest in football, was one of the very few people who did not care about football.

"what?"

Seeing the soccer ball suddenly bounce away, Suzuki Haruaki's expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

If Suzuki Seimei wasn't mistaken, the trajectory of this soccer ball didn't resemble a soccer ball exploding from the ground; rather, it looked more like it had been shot by a gun, which would explain its strange trajectory.

"boom!"

To Ai Haibara's astonishment, Seimei Suzuki suddenly leaped high into the air, jumping off the railing of the stands and directly onto the playing field.

With the soccer ball as the center, Suzuki Seimei scanned the surroundings and quickly found a small hole about the size of a thumb on the rubber court.

"It really is a ballistic trajectory!"

Suzuki Seimei's pupils contracted, and following the trajectory of the bullet, he suddenly looked up and saw a man in a black trench coat walking into the audience area.

During the most exciting part of a football match, ordinary spectators would not wander around at this time.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei was certain that the mysterious man in the black trench coat was the one who had just fired at the ball.

However, what Suzuki Haruaki couldn't understand was why that man would shoot at a soccer ball. Did he hate soccer?

"Little brother, how could you jump onto the competition field? It's dangerous here, go back quickly!"

The staff member in charge of managing the area around the stadium picked up Suzuki Haruaki and carried him back to the stands.

When Ai Haibara saw that Seimei Suzuki had returned unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask, "Seimei, what happened? Why did you suddenly jump down?"

Just now, when Suzuki Seimei suddenly jumped down from the audience, it almost made Ai Haibara's heart jump out of her chest.

It should be noted that the height of the stands above the playing field is at least five meters.

What if he accidentally breaks his leg?

"Let's leave here first; it's not very safe here."

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he took Ai Haibara's hand and led Conan and the others away from the arena.

"Seimei, what happened?"

"Seriously, the game is right at its most exciting part!"

"Alright, Genta, stop complaining for now."

Conan noticed Suzuki Seimei's serious expression and, forgetting about the soccer match, couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Seimei, have you discovered something?"

"Someone just fired a shot on the field. The deflated soccer ball was pierced by a bullet, and I even found the bullet hole."

"what?!"

Ai Haibara's pupils suddenly contracted, and Gin's image subconsciously surfaced in her mind.

However, Ai Haibara quickly dismissed the idea. If it were really someone from the organization who discovered her, they would definitely take her back directly instead of doing something irrelevant.

Conan frowned slightly, touched his chin, and muttered to himself, "Someone fired a shot in the stadium. What was his purpose? Why would he shoot at a soccer ball? Was he trying to threaten someone?"

I understand!

A thought flashed through Conan's mind, and he quickly said to Suzuki Haruaki and the others, "Maybe the TV station's cameras will capture something. Let's go ask the people at Yomiuri TV!"

If the perpetrators really intended to threaten someone with their guns, then the most likely target would be the staff of Nichiri TV, otherwise they wouldn't have opened fire when other viewers weren't paying attention.

It's clear that the perpetrators wanted to use the audience members as hostages, forcing the Nichiuri TV staff to hesitate.

Upon hearing Conan's words, Suzuki Haruaki quickly realized this possibility and led them directly towards the broadcast van of the Nichiri TV station.

Upon learning of Suzuki Seimei's arrival, Hyuga Kaneko was slightly taken aback at first, then hurriedly went forward to greet him personally.

do not forget!

Haruaki Suzuki also owns 10% of Nichiri TV's shares. Although these shares may not seem like much, he is the fourth largest shareholder of Nichiri TV.

Therefore, Suzuki Seimei still had a lot of influence at Nichiri TV.

With just a word from Suzuki Seimei, a TV director like Hyuga Kaneko would be fired, so naturally he wouldn't dare to show the slightest disrespect to Suzuki Seimei.

Faced with Suzuki Seimei's questioning, Hyuga Kaneko dared not hide anything and recounted the whole story in detail.

The people at Nichiri TV station were indeed threatened just now.

The criminals demanded that they have 50 million yen in cash ready by halftime of the match, and that the specific location for the transaction would be notified separately.

If the people at Nichiri TV station are unwilling to prepare a ransom, then the criminals will randomly select lucky spectators to shoot at during the match.

In addition, the perpetrators strictly prohibited the television station staff from evacuating the audience and players in advance.
