Chapter 231
“The only people who have not yet arrived here are the head of the chat room, the escape king, and the shadow mage.”
Kikue Tanaka glanced at the list of parties for this time.
“Forget about the shadow mage.”
“However, it’s strange that even the escape king didn’t come.”
Kuroda Naoko said with a frown.
“Well, I’ll give him a call.”
“I have a good relationship with him in private, I know his real name, and I know his phone.”
Mr. Ara dialed the phone, but it kept beeping and no one answered.
“Forget it.”
“Let’s prepare your room first!”
“I’ll go with Sukama to prepare a meal.”
Mr. Ara hung up the phone helplessly.
……
The third floor of the villa.
“Wha-”
“It’s really refreshing!”
“And the yard is also very large, and the view is particularly open.”
Yuanzi stood on the balcony, breathing in the fresh mountain air.
“Yes, it seems that we have come to the right place!”
Xiaolan smiled and nodded.
The room is a double room with two single beds.
As for Makoto Higashino, he made a bed in the middle of the two beds.
Although the others looked a little surprised, given that Makoto Higashino’s purpose in coming here was to protect Xiaolan and Yuanzi, the two young girls, they didn’t think much about it.
“By the way, what kind of camera are you, what the hell did you bring it for?”
Sonoko asked curiously.
“Yuanzi, Nadong too…”
Halfway through Xiaolan’s words, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed to continue.
“Shh-”
Makoto Higashino raised a finger and made a gesture of booing.
Then, in front of the two of them, the panoramic camera was carefully installed on the balcony.
“It’s a 360-degree camera, and it’s with night vision, so you can see people even in the evening.”
“I’m worried that if some bad guy is greedy for beauty and breaks in through the window, I can take a video and keep it as evidence for the police in the future.”
Makoto Higashino lowered his voice and whispered.
“Coveting beauty?”
“It turns out that I am so good-looking!”
Yuanzi blushed a little embarrassed.
“That’s what it’s for!”
“I thought it was…”
Xiaolan is even more embarrassed.
However, the thought of Makoto Higashino doing this is for his own safety, and his heart feels warm.
“You think so?”
Makoto Higashino asked curiously.
“Nothing, nothing!”
“Okay, the dinner should be almost ready, let’s go down and eat!”
Xiao Lan quickly waved her hand and casually fooled over.
“You guys go down first!”
“I still have a little thing to deal with.”
Makoto Higashino said lightly.
“Then hurry up!”
Yuan Zi pulled Xiaolan and walked down the stairs.
In the room, Makoto Higashino looked at his mobile phone and watched a bunch of messages sent by Twilight. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
are several photos from the crime scene.
A middle-aged man, collapsed on a computer desk.
On the computer screen, a line of words is displayed – “Solved one!” Shadow Mage stays. ”
“What about the identity of the deceased?”
Makoto Higashino asked.
“It’s Nishiyama, 41, who lives in an apartment in Cupto City.”
“The time of death was around 8 to 10 p.m. yesterday.”
Twilight Thirteen looked at the transcript and said.
“Did he participate in a chat room for magic lovers called – Escape King?”
“Moreover, he was expected to come to a gathering of offline netizens today.”
Makoto Higashino asked again.
“A chat room for magic lovers?”
“You wait a minute, I’ll ask.”
Soon, Twilight nodded, “It is true that I have participated in such an Internet forum, and the screen name is indeed called the Escape King.” ”
“According to his family’s description, Nishiyama is indeed going out today, and even the Shinkansen ticket has been bought.”
“But, Higashino-kun, how do you know?”
Just informed that there was such a murder, and people have not yet seen the scene, and they already know the identity information of the deceased?
Is this detective so powerful?
Twilight Thirteen suddenly felt that even the reasoning writer Yusaku Kudo, who had lived in the United States for many years, was just that!
“Unfortunately, I’m attending their magic enthusiasts’ offline gathering right now.”
Makoto Higashino said with a smile.
“You…”
“Are you attending that offline party?”
Twilight Thirteen was immediately stunned.
“If I’m not mistaken, the murderer should be one of the few magic enthusiasts in the chat room who participated in this offline event.”
“Moreover, the target she wants to kill should be more than one escape king.”
“And maybe someone else in the chat room.”
Makoto Higashino said lightly.
“That is, that shadow mage is also at your party?”
Twilight asked in surprise.
“No, he didn’t show up.”
Makoto Higashino shook his head.
“Then why…”
Twilight didn’t understand.
“The so-called shadow mage is also a member of the chat room.”
“However, that’s just an online identity, it may be real or fake, or it may be someone’s trumpet.”
“You first go to the company that opened the chat room and retrieve the registration information of the shadow mage, it is best to retrieve all the members’ registration information.”
“As for the murderer lurking among us…”
“I think she’ll do it again!”
Makoto Higashino smiled slightly and looked at the balcony of the next room.
