Detective conan villain at the start

Chapter 249: Chapter 248 Famous magician murder case part 1



In a splendid French restaurant that is usually visited by the rich and the upper class.

 Ding!

 Two glasses of red wine clinked lightly, and then the man and woman tilted their heads back and drank the red wine in their glasses.

 Putting down the wine glass, Aizen looked at the woman opposite and said, "Miss Eri, why did you suddenly invite me to such a high-end place for dinner today?"

 "Do I need a reason to invite you to dinner?"

 Eri asked with a smile, cutting the beef with a knife.

 Aizen shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not the case. I'm just a little flattered."

 Eri Kisaki smiled and suddenly said: "But I'm inviting you to dinner tonight because I really want to ask you for a favor. This dinner will be my reward for your help." "One hundred and seven"

 "I knew you wouldn't suddenly invite me to dinner for no reason."

 Aizen spread his hands and then said: "Miss Eri, your reward is too insincere. If you really want to treat me to dinner as a reward, you have to cook for me yourself. It's not sincere to come to a restaurant to eat, even if this restaurant is very high-end."

 "You want me to cook for you?"

 Eri tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled at Aizen and said, "I'm worried that you won't be able to eat it."

 Aizen shook his head and said,"How could that be? It's my honor to eat the food you cooked for me."

 Seeing Aizen say this, Eri Kisaki said with a smile, "Well, next time if you visit, I will definitely cook for you myself. I just hope you won't be disgusted by it, otherwise, I will be very unhappy."

 Although Eri Kisaki always felt that her cooking was not bad, Mouri Kogoro said that her cooking was not edible at all. Later, she entertained friends several times, and her friends also said the same thing, which made her doubt whether it was true. Therefore, she reminded Aizen in advance, so that Aizen would not be unprepared.

 "How could that be? I will just eat it happily."

 Aizen smiled and said, he remembered that Eri Kisaki's cooking skills were very poor, but he had not tasted it, so he didn't know if it was true. But no matter how bad the cooking skills of Eri were, in order to get closer to the beauty, he didn't mind pinching his nose and eating it.

 "I hope so."

 Eri smiled, with some inexplicable expectation in her heart.

 Aizen said, "Ms. Eri, now tell me what you want my help with."

 Eri nodded, put down her knife and fork and said, "I have a friend, Nanae Tsukumo, whose husband is the world-famous magician Motoyasu Tsukumo. Mr. Motoyasu Tsukumo passed away in his basement a day ago, and the police finally ruled it as a suicide. But the problem is that is Motoyasu Tsukumo's daughter's birthday, and he had no intention of committing suicide before, so this should not be a suicide, but a homicide."

 Aizen nodded and said, "I know Motoyasu Tsukumo, a world-famous magician. I have also read the reports of his death, but I didn't expect there is a possibility of homicide. You have personally asked me for help, I will definitely help. By the way, have you been to the crime scene to see it?"

 Eri shook her head and said, "I haven't been there yet, but I have an appointment with Nanae Tsukumo. We will go to her place after dinner. We will go to the scene then and take a look. You can also ask her if you have any questions." 

Hearing this, Aizen nodded and said nothing more.

 After dinner, Aizen and Eri Kisaki left the restaurant and went to the parking lot. They got into Aizen's car and headed to the home of Nanae Tsukumo.

 The place of Tsukumo can be said to be a mansion. The car stopped at the door, and Aizen and Eri Kisaki walked into the mansion.

 "Eri, you're here."

 Aizen and Eri Kisaki had just walked in a short distance when a woman in her thirties walked out of the mansion. It was Nanae Tsukumo.

 "Nanae!"

 Eri Kisaki greeted, and then introduced Aizen: "This is Aizen, a very famous detective. I specially invited him to come and see."

 "Hello, Mrs. Nanae."

 Aizen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Nanae Tsukumo. Nanae Tsukumo was not bad looking. If he were to evaluate her, she would be at least 80 points but he has a bigger goal next to him here Eri.

 Nanae Tsukumo said politely: "Hello, Mr. Aizen, I'll leave it to you today..."

 The three of them walked towards the mansion. The hall of the mansion was very large, but also very empty.

 Eri Kisaki was obviously not here for the first time. She didn't even look at it, and said directly: "Nanae, just take us directly to the place where your husband's body was found."

 Nanae Tsukumo nodded and walked forward with the two of them, but at this time, a young man came out.

 "Yuji Momochi!"

 When Nanae saw this, she turned to Aizen and said, "Mr. Aizen, this is my student Yuji Momochi, but he has only been my teacher's disciple for a short time."

 Aizen nodded and greeted him.

 Yuji Momochi looked at the two and asked, "Are they new?"

 Nanae Tsukumo said, "No, Eri is a lawyer my friend. Mr. Aizen is a detective that Eri helped to invite. He is an excellent detective."

 "Detective?"

 Yuji Momochi asked puzzledly, "What is the detective doing here?"

 "Wow, don't you know yet?"

 A woman's voice sounded. The four people looked and saw a woman in a green coat. She looked at Aizen and said, "Of course, we invited the detective to investigate the real cause of death of Mr. Motoyasu Tsukumo death."

 While speaking, the woman walked in front of Aizen, looked at him and said, "Am I right, Mr. Detective?"

 Nanae Tsukumo said, "Mr. Aizen, this is also a student of my husband. Her name is Mako Miyoshi. There is no more powerful magician in Japan than her."

 "Hello."

Aizen nodded and greet her.

 Momochi Yuji said, "By the way, didn't the teacher commit suicide? Why did we ask a detective to investigate?"

 "Because Mr. Motoyasu doesn't look like the kind of person who would commit suicide."

 Miyoshi Mako said, looking at Nanae Tsukumo, "Besides, there's something wrong with those playing cards, am I right?"

 "Playing cards?"

 Eri looked at Nanae Tsukumo in confusion.

 "These are the two."

 Nanae Tsukumo opened her bag, took out two connected playing cards, handed them to Eri, and said, "They were placed on the table in the basement where my husband fell. The police found them and took them apart. Later, they found that there was nothing written inside. I thought they might be useful, so I glued them together again."

 Eri took it and looked at it, saying, "The Ace of Spades and the Jack of Spades, it looks like it's just an ordinary magic trick."

 Eri said as she handed the playing cards to Aizen. Just as Aizen was about to take them, someone took the playing cards first.

 "This is indeed just an ordinary magic trick. Even if you turn this house upside down, you won't find anything."

 As the man spoke, he tore up the playing cards and threw them into the air. Then, the playing cards fell one by one from the sky.

 Aizen looked at the man and smiled, "It's Mr. Kazumi Sanada, we meet again."

 Eri Kisaki asked, "Why, do you know each other? Also, the playing cards may be the key evidence, aren't you in a hurry?"

 "The real playing cards are here, so I'm naturally not in a hurry."

 Aizen took out two consecutive playing cards from his chest pocket and said with a smile, "Mr. Kazumi Sanada and I met at Suzuki Ayako's birthday party, when Kaito Kid wanted to steal the dark star."

 Kazumi Sanada looked at Aizen and said, "Mr. Aizen's reasoning that time left a deep impression on me, but Mr. Aizen may be disappointed this time. Mr. Motoyasu Tsukumowas not murdered by anyone, but died of suicide."

 "Maybe." Aizen smiled and said to Nanae Tsukumo, "Madam, please take us to the basement."

 "Okay, please follow me."

 Nanae Tsukumo responded, and then walked in front, with Aizen and Eri Kisaki following behind.

 Kazumi Sanada, Mako Miyoshi, and Momochi Yuji did not follow. Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, the three people had different expressions on their faces, but in the end they all separated.

 Soon, Aizen and the other two came to the basement, where there were many props and items for magic.

 Aizen asked, "Madam, does your husband often come to the basement?" 

Nanae Tsukumo nodded and said, "Yes, this is the place he uses to study new magic shows, but recently, my husband's students have also come here."

 "This is my first time here."

 Eri looked around, and then looked at the photos on the wall and said, "Who are those people in those photos?"

 Nanae Tsukumo said, "They are all my husband's students. Whether they have gone out on their own or given up, they are all framed and put here."

 Eri nodded and asked, "Then who is the one wearing a black hat?"

 Nanae Tsukumo took a look and said, "That is Yoshiro Kinoshita, a genius among geniuses, but he died in an accident fourteen years ago. My husband liked him very much at the time."

 Eri nodded and said, "No wonder that frame is the only one without dust. It seems that your husband wipes it frequently."

 "Hmm?"

 Upon hearing this, Nanae Tsukumo looked again and saw that it was indeed the case. She said in surprise, "It's been so long, and I still haven't noticed it. Could it be that it was really wiped by Motoyasu Tsukumo?"

 At this time, Aizen came to the fixed line of the body traces and looked at it. After looking at it, he came to an office desk in the basement and looked at a pile of scattered playing cards on the table.

 Eri asked, "Nanae, was the playing card found in here?"

 Nanae Tsukumo nodded and said, "Yes, we found it in here."

 Aizen pointed to the two wires pressed by the playing cards and said, "Are those phone lines?"

 Nanae Tsukumo said, "Yes, the phone was placed inside the pile of playing cards. It was like that at the time."

 Eri pondered and said, "If the phone was there, your husband couldn't have been poisoned by a chronic poison. Otherwise, there should have been no problem calling for help or opening the door to go out."

 "Nanae, where were your husband's three students at the time?"

 Nanae Tsukumo said, "They were performing magic with me in a hotel at the time. My husband didn't go because he disliked the low appearance fee and stayed at home alone. I met him before I went out, and he was fine."

 "In that case, the three of them could not be the murderers?"

 Eri said to herself, and then looked at Aizen: "Aizen, I asked you to come here to help, not to watch how I deduce."

 Aizen smiled and said, "Miss Eri, don't be angry, I'm just thinking."

 Eri asked, "Did you gain anything?"

 "Before that, I have to confirm one thing."

 While speaking, Aizen walked to a large photo of Kyuju Motoyasu and said, "Madam, when your husband's body was found, was he wearing this kind of performance ring on his hand?" 

 Nanae walked over and took a look, and replied, "Yes, my husband's performance is to use an invisible thin thread tied to the ring to play with things as if they were living things. I think my husband must have been practicing that that day."

"I know!"

Eri Kisaki suddenly shouted loudly, and then put her hands behind her back and said, "If Mr. Tsukumo's hands were tied behind his back with a ring and a thin wire, he would not be able to move freely. If he didn't use his hands, it would not be easy to stand up, let alone open the door with his hands."

Aizen looked at Eri Kisaki and said, "Miss Eri, you said everything I wanted to say. You made me feel very unfulfilled."

Eri Kisaki smiled and said, "I'm not a fool. You reminded me. If I still can't guess these, then I have been a lawyer for so many years in vain."

"It's a pity that you are a lawyer instead of a detective, otherwise you will definitely become a famous female detective in Japan."

Aizen sighed. Eri Kisaki is so smart. With a little reminder, she immediately thought of the truth. If she really became a detective and learned professional detective knowledge, she would have a very high possibility of becoming a famous female detective in Japan and a legend of a generation.
