Conan: The Heart Thief

Seeing the name left on the message, Mao Lilan and Sera Masamune immediately came forward. Lin Xiao looked around and it was obvious that someone was playing tricks, and perhaps that person was still in the old school building.

"This... isn't this the person who sent the threatening letter to the principal?" Xiaolan said in surprise.

"Yes, that's the person!" Sakuragi Ruriko said firmly.

"The one who opens the seventh door will become the sacrifice of the ritual of death. What does this sentence mean?" Sera Masumi touched his chin and fell into thought.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, the lights in the house were turned on.

Then, under the gaze of several people, three members, Makoto Makabe, Ryuta Sagi, and Tomoyo Takashima, walked in from outside the house.

Seeing the situation in the house, Makoto Makabe's eyes were immediately filled with confusion. He immediately came to Sakuragi Ruriko and said, "Hey, President Sakuragi, have you and the foreign players you invited been called here as well?"

"What does 'they were all called here' mean?" Sakuragi Ruriko frowned slightly. From what Makabe Makoto said, someone must have called them here?

Makabe Makoto was confused: "President Sakuragi, you and your foreign aid, weren't you called here by someone?"

"no!"

When Sakuragi Ruriko heard this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"That's strange." Hearing Sakuragi Ruriko's answer, Ryuta Sagi felt puzzled.

"Just now, someone called me at home and told us to come to the old school building before 10 o'clock. If we are late, we will miss the interesting performance!

The person who called was a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice. Although I was a little confused at the time, I still rushed over.

I happened to meet Makabe Makoto and Takashima Tomoyo at the gate of the old school building."

"Interesting performance? Are you referring to the Ritual of Death?" Lin Xiao judged that it was most likely the magician after school who was playing tricks. "The content of the phone call seemed to confirm that the Ritual of Death would be held."

Shira Masumi felt something was wrong and asked, "Sakura Sulfur Ion, what will happen if the death ceremony is held?"

Sakuragi Ruriko replied solemnly, "Someone will be killed by the magician after class."

"What!" Xiaolan covered her mouth in surprise. She couldn't imagine how terrible the ritual of death would be!

Lin Xiao continued to analyze, "Since the magician after school specifically notified the members of the Reasoning Club, it means that the person targeted by the Death Ritual is also a member of the Reasoning Club, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the members of the mystery club changed drastically.

Sakuragi Ruriko was no longer calm. She asked the other three people who were reasoning, "Didn't Mr. Ichiro Ba and Mr. Takahiro Onoue come?"

The three of them shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen it.

Tomoyo Takashima turned pale and stammered, "Teacher Ichiro Ba and Takahiro Onoue are not here! They are likely to have already..."

The current situation of Onoue Takahiro and Ba Yuichiro is very likely to be very dangerous, and a murder may have even occurred!

"It could be a prank. You guys are making a fuss out of nothing. And President Sakura, you are really unnecessary by looking for external help!"

Makoto Makabe suddenly made his presence felt again. He was very disgusted with the fact that Sakuraju Ruriko asked someone for help, especially a handsome guy.

"Makabe Makoto, this is definitely not a joke!" Lin Xiao looked at Makoto Makabe with a serious expression.

"What! You guy, what right do you have to say that?" Makabe Makoto retorted.

"From the moment the principal received the warning letter, the nature of the incident could not be a prank!" Lin Xiao answered as a matter of course.

"Lin Xiao. Don't just take advantage of your status as a detective and talk nonsense." Makabe Makoto was slapped in the face by Lin Xiao in public and was furious.

Lin Xiao shook his head and ignored Makabe Makoto. This guy was a complete fool.

"Ran, I heard that this classmate named Makabe Makoto once won a big prize for a mystery novel! Now it seems that he doesn't deserve the award!"

Masumi Sera whispered to Ran Mouri.

"Yeah. I think so too."

Mao Lilan believes in Lin Xiao unconditionally. Anyone who raises objections to Lin Xiao is absolutely a fool.

Lin Xiao turned his gaze to Sakurashu Ruriko: "Senior Sakurashu, the most urgent thing now is to try to contact Onoue Takahiro and Mr. Yuichiro Ba."

"I tried to try to get through, but couldn't get through." Sakuragi Ruriko replied.

Tomoyo Takashima and Ryuta Sagi held their phones and shook their heads. They had just tried to contact the two but failed.

Lin Xiao sighed softly: "It seems that all we can do is to work together to find the magician after school. That person must still be in the old school building, there is no doubt about it."

Lin Xiao glanced at the time. It was getting closer and closer to ten o'clock.

Hearing this, Makabe Makoto continued to make his presence known and said, "Then let's split up and act quickly to save time. It will soon be ten o'clock, and we have to find the magician who is after school."

"No!" After hearing Makabe Makoto's words, Lin Xiao gave him a look that looked like an idiot, "Now, we should act together."

Makabe Makoto looked at Lin Xiao unhappily: "If we act together, our efficiency will be low. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiao continued to look at Makabe Makoto as if he were an idiot, and explained, "After the magician after school handed the threatening letter to the principal, he expected that the principal would send someone to investigate the seventh incredible event. Then, the magician after school will definitely use the ritual of death! Each of us may become the prey of the magician after school."

Sakuragi Ruriko felt that what Lin Xiao said made sense, but there was one thing she couldn't understand.

"Why must the after-school magician perform the Rite of Death? What is the purpose?"

"As far as I know, the Teitan High School has always wanted to demolish the old school building. If the death ritual is carried out, someone will be killed. If a murder occurs, the principal will never dare to think about demolishing the old school building again!"

Chapter 210: Rite of Death

Makoto Makabe felt very embarrassed, especially in front of his beloved president, so he just wanted to go against Lin Xiao.

"What are you afraid of, the magician after school? I'm not afraid. I want to act alone and not follow you."

Sakuragi Ruriko held her forehead with her hand because of the headache, and had to ask Tomoyo Takashima and Ryuta Sagi to follow Makabe Makabe and make sure that the magician after school would not really kill Makabe Makabe.

After the three left, Lin Xiao was not idle either. He said to his companions, "Let's act quickly. Find the magician after school as soon as possible and stop him from committing crimes."

However, where to find the after-school magician is a problem.

"Sakuragi-senpai, what do you think?"

After all, Sakuraju Ruriko has been investigating this matter for a long time, and Lin Xiao thought it would be better to listen to her advice.

"Let's go to the biology laboratory. That laboratory has been out of use and has never been opened. It is one of the seven incredible events."

So, Sakuragi Ruriko and her group came to the legendary biology classroom that could not be opened.

Looking at the door of the old biology classroom in front of him, Lin Xiao gently reached out and pushed it, but it naturally didn't open. Instead, a lot of dust got on Lin Xiao's hands.

At first glance, it was clear that no one had been here for a long time. Moreover, the door was locked.

"Ruriko, do you have the key to this biology classroom, mom?"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Yingshu Liulizi shook her head helplessly.

"Of course not, otherwise, why would this place be called a biology classroom that cannot be opened!"

Sera Masumi asked curiously, "Sakuragi-senpai, what's going on here?"

Xiaolan unconsciously moved closer to Lin Xiao. She was both scared and curious about the seven mysteries of Teitan High School.

"Rumor has it that when this old school building was still in use, there seemed to be a strange teacher named Initialemon in Teitan High School. Initialemon would hold a strange ceremony at night.

It is said that a curious student entered the old school building to confirm the strange ritual. What he saw at that time remains a mystery to this day.

The only thing we know is that he mysteriously disappeared from the campus since then. Until one evening, a classmate who was on duty late after school unexpectedly discovered that in the biology laboratory, the body of the classmate who had disappeared for a long time was hanging from the ceiling, and below the body was a strange pattern made of many candles! "

Sera Masumi felt something was wrong and judged: "This is definitely not a ghost story, it must be a man-made incident!"

Sakuragi Ruriko smiled bitterly and shook her head: "But after the classmate on duty called the police, when the police rushed to this room, they saw only an extremely empty room.

The corpse and the strange pattern that the duty student saw disappeared.

Since then, the voice of "I will live in this school building forever!" was heard from time to time in the biology laboratory, so that the classroom was no longer used forever."

"How scary!" Xiaolan bit her finger and trembled. If Lin Xiao hadn't been beside her, she would have screamed in fear.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?" Sakuragi Ruriko looked at Lin Xiao expectantly. If anyone could solve this series of mysteries, it would have to be a high school detective.

Lin Xiao said seriously: "I can say responsibly that the seven mysteries of Teidan High School were all deliberately created by someone with ulterior motives. The purpose was to hide some unspeakable secrets. As long as we find that person, everything will be revealed."

Shira Masumi said with a smile: "Why not let Xiaolan use karate to break the door open."

When Mao Lilan heard this, she was a little hesitant, as if she was a violent woman.

"Xiao Jun, do you need it?"

Lin Xiao took out his phone, checked the time, and shook his head: "It's already 10 o'clock. The most urgent thing is to figure out the death ritual of the magician after school."

Just then, Sakuragi Ruriko received a call from Ryuta Sagi.

"President, something bad has happened. Makoto Makabe has been attacked by a magician after school."

"How could this happen? Where are you now?"

"We're in the Student Activities Center."

"I know, I'll be right over."

Sakuragi Ruriko and three others quickly ran to the student activity center in the neighboring teaching building.

Then I saw Makoto Makabe looking very embarrassed, with a pale face and quite ugly.

"What the hell happened?"

Ryuta Sagi explained, "Just now Makoto Makabe was attacked by a magician after school. Fortunately, Tomoyo Takashima risked his life to save him in time."

Sakuragi Ruriko quickly asked, "Takashima Tomoyo, the magician after school, did you see clearly? Who is he?"

Takashima Tomoyo shook her head: "He was wearing a scary mask. I didn't see his real appearance."

Lin Xiao looked at Makoto Makabe and asked, "Makabe Makabe, you were attacked by a magician after school. Can you confirm his identity?"

Makoto Makabe held his head and said in fear: "The magician after school is not a human being at all, he is a devil!"

Before I knew it, it was already 10 o'clock.

"There's light there!"

Suddenly, Xiaolan stretched out her hand and pointed in surprise at a room on the second floor of the old school building. At this moment, the little light quickly expanded.

Afterwards, everyone saw that in that room, candles of good fortune were placed on the floor, forming a mysterious pattern. In the middle of the pattern, a figure was hanging there, looming in the air.

Although his face could not be seen clearly, his familiar school uniform and body shape made people feel that he was definitely Takahiro Onoue.

"Eh? Isn't that the room that we just visited the biology classroom that couldn't be opened?"
