Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

"You said the suspension bridge was burned down?!"

Yun Xianhe took off his outermost coat and adjusted the hem of his clothes.

The indoor temperature caused a layer of fog to form on his glasses, blurring the sharpness of his heterochromatic eyes behind the lenses.

The brave man quietly glanced at all the people gathered in the living room and found clues from their whispers.

Why are you nervous?

Is it that person?

"Not only that, the chat room leader was killed by the Shadow Mage."

"What?!"xn

If the burning of the suspension bridge only made everyone a little worried, then what Kidd said was undoubtedly a bomb.

Everyone present looked at Yun Xianhe and the other two in horror.

Huang Yi smiled stiffly:

"Are you telling the truth? Where did this news come from?"

"My uncle who brought us here said so. He was on the other side of the bridge when it burned down. He said he heard it on the radio."

"real or fake……"

Naoko Kuroda grabbed Tanaka Kikue's arm in fear.

The latter stood there with a frown, his empty hand hanging at his side trembling nervously.

Yun Xianhe noticed this and lowered his eyes slightly. He reached out to take off his glasses, took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped the lenses.

What is the reason?

Could it be the same as the last Sherlock Holmes fan incident?

Is it just because of a different understanding of a certain character that you have this thought?

Or is it because of the disagreement with the magic technique?

It seems that we need to first find out what this group of people have said in the chat room before.

Doi Takeshu, who was standing by, looked at everyone present with a serious expression:

"For safety reasons, I think we should get together tonight."

"Wait a minute, the one who killed the Escape King was the Shadow Mage, right?"

Tanaka Kikue glanced at Yun Xianhe, who was hanging his head and wondering what he was thinking, and then her eyes fell on Doita.

"If that's the case, why don't we just lock the door and prevent them from coming in? I don't want to stay up all night in the hall."

"Ms. Tanaka, how can you be sure..."

Yun Xianhe gently blew away the dust on the lenses, put them on with one hand, and looked straight at the other person:

"The Shadow Mage is not among us?"

Those heterochromatic eyes were calm and when one looked into their eyes, it seemed as if all the secrets in one's heart would be revealed.

Tanaka Kikue took a half step back uncomfortably and smiled stiffly:

"What do you mean by that?"

"Could it be possible that... someone among us is impersonating someone else?!"

Naoko Kuroda's words successfully caused panic among everyone present.

The crowd dispersed in panic and looked at each other warily.

Looking at Zhu Fu Jingguang and others who were approaching him, Yun Xianhe turned to look at Huang Yize who was standing beside him:

"Mr. Huang, do you have the real names of all the netizens present?"

"Ah? Uh, including Xishan, the chat room leader, I only know the names of a few of you present. As for Shadow Mage, I have never revealed it."

really.

Yun Xianhe glanced at Miss Tanaka, tilted his head slightly and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The man who seemed to have suffocated everyone just now suddenly changed his momentum and returned to his weak and harmless appearance.

"That's all I have to say. If you don't believe me, you can go to the suspension bridge to check the situation. As for the telephone line, I think it has been cut off."

"What,"

Huang Yi, who had been wanting to make a phone call, was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, the woods at night are still quite dangerous, so please be careful if you go out, and try to form a group."

"It's okay. Uncle Kogoro has already called the police. I believe the police will be here soon. Right? Brother Xianhe?"

"Ah."

Conan's words temporarily calmed the minds of the people present.

Yun Xianhe thought about the road conditions on the mountain and the weather tonight.

I feel that it will be difficult for the police to get here before tomorrow morning.

This is indeed the case.

Kogoro Mouri hurriedly drove to the nearby police station and called Officer Megure, but the other party replied that he could not send police before dawn.

The reason is exactly the same as Yun Xianhe speculated.

At this time, several people in the villa were still discussing what to do tonight.

Apparently, someone didn't want to stay up all night together.

The consequence of disagreement is that the whole living room becomes noisy.

Yuanzi, who didn't expect to encounter such a thing when she was out for fun, hugged Xiaolan's arm a little scared, and whispered to her about where the shadow mage was now.

Araki Yoshinori was obviously a little suspicious about the fact that the telephone line was broken. He was still trying to contact the outside world, but failed.

Mr. Hamano was silent from the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Naoko Kuroda seemed very scared. After standing there at a loss for what to do for a while, she simply curled up in a chair beside her.

Only one person seemed a little irritable.

"If we were to say who is the most suspicious here, it would be you guys, right?"

Tanaka Kikue frowned and looked at Yun Xianhe, the large group of people behind him, and Doi Takeshu who was standing in front of them.

She sneered:

"It's obviously just a private gathering of ours, but you brought so many people here."

"Okay Kikue..."

Naoko Kuroda spoke up to try to get her to say less.

After all, when they invited the other party at the beginning, the other party had already asked in advance if they could bring someone.

What's more, she's just a life assistant.

Hearing this, the young man coughed twice and shrugged helplessly:

"I can't help it. It's my poor health."

Tanaka Kikue snorted coldly and turned her head away.

The scene was a little awkward for a while.

Hamano Toshiya stood up and laughed,

"Stop arguing, maybe this is a trick by the Shadow Mage to drive a wedge between us. Just like the 'Hero from Another World' said, as long as we stick together, nothing will happen."

Noticing Tanaka's gaze, Hamano quickly added:

"Of course, it should be fine even if we don't gather in the living room. After all, aren't we all sharing a room with other people? As long as we always have other companions around us, it will be fine, right?"

"...That's right."

Tanaka seemed to be convinced by Hamano's words.

Yun Xianhe didn't look at them, but just yawned lazily, looking a little listless.

Conan is still observing everyone's condition.

He thought of what Yun Xianhe had said just now, and began to wonder if there was someone in this group of people who would play two roles.

So the question is, what is the motive of this shadow mage?

The little detective felt a headache because he couldn't figure it out.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed Doi Takeshu, who had a serious face.

Kidd, who was standing by, had a bad look on his face since he learned that a murder had occurred.

Who is it?

The reason...is it because of that incident?

"Brother Doita, what's wrong with you?"

Conan's voice called back Kidd's god,

He glanced down at the young detective with whom he had fought before, and his smile returned to his face in an instant, and he reached out to rub the other's head.

"I'm a little... scared."

"Hey - I thought Brother Doita had thought of something related to the Shadow Mage. After all, compared to Brother Xianhe who has been offline for a long time, you should chat in the chat room more often, right?"

"Well, I did think of something. I'll tell Xianhe about it later. But you, kid, are a bit curious."

"Ahaha, because I'm learning how to be a detective."

The Phantom Thief looked down at Conan, who suddenly became a little stiff.

The pair of eyes that were narrowed due to laughter opened and looked straight at the other party, and asked back:

"Is that right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I learned all this from Brother Xianhe."

As he said this, Conan pointed at Yun Xianhe behind him.

The latter was being muttered by Zhu Fu Jingguang:

"You just ran there? Are your lungs feeling uncomfortable?"

"Sorry, I was in a hurry... a little bit."

"Are you feeling dizzy? Are you a little anemic these days?"

"Ah... yes, it's probably a sequelae. It will be fine in two days. After all, I coughed up blood the day before yesterday. Well, don't worry! I will eat more and replenish myself when I get home!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang paused and made another note in the little notebook in his mind about taking care of someone.

After confirming that Yun Xianhe was just coughing a little due to the cold wind, he sighed slightly.

After making this reaction, he was stunned for a while.

By the way, since becoming a life assistant, has he been sighing often?

Why do I suddenly feel like I've aged a lot?

Zhu Fu Jingguang shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts in his mind.

Looking at the person in front of him who was obviously absent-minded, he said helplessly:

"Why don't we go out tonight? How about I go out with you after Xianhe gets better in a few days?"

"Hai..."
