Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Okay!" So Kikue Tanaka began to write down everyone's name one by one in front of everyone.

"Once you've written it, put it together. Turn it right side out, and then give it to Sonoko."

Hamano Toshiya continued to talk about the arrangements.

Then Tanaka Kikue handed Sonoko a slip of paper with everyone's name written on it, along with a marker. (It's just that Tanaka Kikue had quickly switched the paper and pens!)

"Everyone stand back now!"

Toshiya Hamano continued to arrange everyone to cooperate with his magic show. I have to say that this magic trick is indeed very suitable for an ice-breaking game between gatherings of strangers.

And as someone who is active and lively like Hamano Toshiya, it is quite easy for him to organize and create such an atmosphere, and the magic show is also very interactive.

"Okay, Sonoko! Be careful not to run around and be seen! Draw triangles, circles, and crosses randomly on the paper."

After everyone had moved away from Sonoko, Hamano Toshiya continued to ask Sonoko to draw random symbols on paper.

Of course, in order to let everyone see that he did not do anything wrong, Hamano Toshiya did not touch the paper and pen throughout the whole process, and he kept a distance from Sonoko after she received the paper and pen.

"Draw a circle, a cross, and a triangle!" Yuanzi repeated.

"The circle represents the acting director, the cross represents the person in charge of tonight's entertainment program, and as for the triangle, let me think about it. I'll let her be in charge of boiling water for everyone!"

Toshiya Hamano continued to talk about the meaning of each graphic.

"Let me boil the water!" Mr. Sukama said directly. Sukama is usually silent, but that doesn't mean he doesn't speak.

Fujiwara Hiroshi glanced at the tall man. He wouldn't think that there would be no work to do later. He was hired to work in the first place. If there is no work to do, it would be uneasy to hold the money, right?

"It's okay, it's just a game! So it's better to mix in some punishment work!"

Toshiya Hamano was still foolishly explaining that it didn't matter, but he didn't know that this was the key to his death.

If he had not been chosen to stay away from everyone's sight during the magic show, he would not have had the chance to be assassinated alone. Poor Hamano Toshi didn't know that the more smoothly the magic show went, the closer his life would be to the countdown.

"Okay, I've marked all three." Sonoko was ready when she heard Hamano Toshiya's introduction.

So Yuanzi had already marked three marks on the random papers selected from there.

"Okay, now someone please take these papers and place them on the table." Hamano Toshiya still did not touch the papers himself and asked others to take the papers from Sonoko's hands.

If he touched the paper himself, the essence of the magic would be lost. This magic actually takes advantage of people's habitual thinking.

When we see someone performing or talking on the stage, we subconsciously think that this is a magician performing magic tricks.

In fact, in this magic trick, Hamano Toshiya only acted as an explainer to attract everyone's attention.

When everyone's eyes were on Hamano Toshiya, trying to find the flaw in his technique, it turned out that the person who actually completed the magic trick of replacing the original with the fake one without anyone noticing was Tanaka Kikue.

So, as the one who acted as the backup in the two-person magic show, Kikue Tanaka naturally stepped forward and took the note and pen from Sonoko's hand.

"Then spread the paper on the table first, don't turn it over!" Hamano Toshiya saw Tanaka Kikue who had already taken the note and began to make subsequent arrangements.

At this time, Yuanzi's part had been completed, so Yuanzi couldn't wait to take off the handkerchief covering her eyes.

Sonoko was very excited about this kind of participatory magic. This was the magic experience she wanted, just like the clumsy magic she performed for Xiaolan, which was also very interactive.

"Then let's reveal who the acting director is first?" Doi Takeshu came to the table, saw the three marked papers, and prepared to turn them over to reveal the acting director first.

"Wait a minute." Hamano Toshiya immediately stopped Doi Takeshu. What a joke! The most exciting moment of this magic trick is now. How could he let Doi Takeshu ruin it?

When Sonoko heard Mr. Hamano's words of obstruction, she also turned her gaze to Hamano Toshiya beside her, and then the others also looked at him.

Naturally, this also made Doi Takeshu, who had stretched out his hand halfway, stop, and turned around to look at Hamano Toshiya curiously, wondering what he was going to do?

"Before I reveal the names, can I predict the names written on the back of these pieces of paper?"

Hamano Toshiya stretched out five fingers, maintaining the previous posture to stop the call. Although Hamano Toshiya's eyes and nostrils were not big, that damn expression pack instantly flooded into Fujiwara Hiroshi's mind.

This damn subconscious reaction, seeing this action, immediately popped up that picture in my mind, what the hell? Fujiwara Hiroshi secretly criticized in his heart!

"Prophecy?" Doi Takeshu was almost unable to hold it in. He almost couldn't hold it in as he had to perform such magic tricks in front of this magic expert and act so good at it.

"If my sixth sense is correct..." Hamano Toshiya paused for a moment, pretending to be serious, "Ms. Kuroda, it's you!"

Kuroda Naoko was obviously stunned and obviously unwilling to believe such a thing. After all, she instinctively refused to serve as acting director at the beginning.

"How is this possible?" Kuroda Naoko cried out anxiously as she turned over and opened the name behind the circle. When she turned it over, she saw that it was indeed Kuroda's name.

Also coming over to watch were Ara Yoshinori and Fujiwara Hiroshi, one on the left and one on the right of Kuroda Naoko, observing what Kuroda was doing.

"No way?" Kuroda Naoko was surprised to see that it was her name.

"It really came true!" Huang Yize said in disbelief.

"Then the next person responsible for boiling the bath water will be you, Miss Tanaka!" Hamano Toshiya continued to predict confidently.

"Why me?" Kikue Tanaka also acted surprised. She was clearly a shill, but she still tried to act surprised. Otherwise, she would win the Oscar for Best Actress.

(What is a shill? Well, that’s what we call professionalism!)

As the person who was personally selected, Sonoko also came to the table and immediately stepped forward to confirm. When Sonoko turned over the back of the triangle, Tanaka's name was clearly written on it.

"Amazing! You guessed it right again!"

Sonoko sighed, and at the same time, Doi Takeshu came close to Sonoko and took a look. Otherwise, his behavior would be out of place for Doi Takeshu.

"It's true!" Tanaka took the note and acted even harder, showing such disbelief.

"Could it be that you switched it somewhere?" Tanaka Kikue asked Hamano Toshiya while holding the note.

Just step forward and say it directly, saying what everyone wants to say, leaving everyone speechless. Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!!!

"No, you can see I haven't touched these papers even once... As for the marks on them, they were made by Sonoko while blindfolded."

Hamano Toshiya waved his hand to indicate that he was innocent, so that after the two of them performed together, no one would think that they were actually performing as a pair.

By the way, Hamano Toshiya finally drew the focus to Sonoko. Sonoko, who was watching the show from the side, was suddenly called and pointed at herself.

Then he looked at Tanaka Kikue with an apologetic and embarrassed look on his face. Seeing that things had become like this, Tanaka Kikue could only give up.

"I understand! I'll go boil some water now!"

Of course, he left early on purpose because the last piece of paper was swapped by Tanaka Kikue, and he wanted to arrange for Hamano Toshiya to go back to his room alone to think about tonight's performance.

At the same time, when Tanaka Kikue deliberately left, she went in the direction of Hamano Toshiya, which made everyone think that the two of them were not getting along because of the game, and they could not guess that it was a conspiracy between the two.

"Do you know where the firewood is kept?" Mr. Sukama asked from behind.

"Don't worry, I had already checked everything when I got here!" Tanaka Kikue said and left without looking back.

"Okay, the remaining fork is the person in charge of tonight's entertainment program - Doi Tower, that's you!" Seeing that the magic trick was going very smoothly, Hamano Toshiya confidently and proudly squinted his eyes playfully.

"Ah?! That's terrible!" Since Hamano Toshiya had already guessed the first two, no one doubted the third one pointing to Doi Takeki.

Doi Takeki is also a good actor. Although he knew Hamano Toshiya's magic tricks and knew that his name must be on it, he passively cooperated with the performance and acted uncomfortably.

At this time, Araki Yoshinori, who was closest to the table, also picked up the last piece of paper with a cross on it, turned it over, and showed a surprised expression.

Then Doi Takeshu was obviously stunned after reading it, and then Doi Takeshu said.

"The person in charge of the entertainment program..."

"It should be you! Mr. Hamano!" Ara Yoshinori also raised the note in his hand.

Meanwhile, Doi Takeshu was thinking, "What a showman! He deliberately guessed wrong on the last one, and the wrong one was pointing to Hamano Toshiya himself."

This childish trick would definitely not be able to be hidden from Kaito Kid. The props for this magic must have been prepared in advance, and there is no possibility of error.

Then it should be that Hamano Toshiya deliberately arranged it this way, which is also in line with his own personality, and he likes to be quirky and weird.

You have to know that the fact that he can dress up as a girl calmly and talk to Naoko Kuroda about underwear without being exposed is also a manifestation of this aspect of his personality.

But sometimes the bad thing lies in this point. Most of the time, this mouth is good at livening up the atmosphere, especially through the screen and the Internet, it all depends on the subjective imagination of the people who see it.

A smiling emoji, after being fermented on the Internet, can become ambiguous. Older people regard smiling emojis as a polite way of greeting.

But among young people, it means haha, disdain, nothing to say, or even sarcasm, so it all depends on personal interpretation.

If you meet a psychopath, who can you turn to for justice? Look, Hamano Toshiya's life is almost over.

"Ah!?" Hamano Toshiya did not expect things to turn out like this. He was in disbelief when he found that his magic had actually failed.

"See, was I right?" Araki Yoshizuru handed the back of the card with the cross on it to Hamano Toshiya.

"It's really weird!" Hamano Toshiya touched his head. This magic trick was very good before, but now it feels like it's anticlimactic.

"Okay, go back to your room and think about the program!" Sonoko also said to Hamano Toshiya in a cheering manner.

"Don't make any mistakes this time!" Doi Takeshu also warned from the side. He really couldn't imagine that such a simple magic trick could be performed badly.

"This is such a headache!" Hamano Toshiya went upstairs to his room to prepare for the show, while worrying about what to perform.

It must have been a headache. Originally, this magic trick was to be performed by Hamano Toshiya, but something went wrong at the end, so I had to think of another one myself.

"What should I do? How should I be the team leader?" Naoko Kuroda watched Hamano Toshiya go back upstairs. She was also worried about the fact that she had been chosen as the acting director.

"It's okay, I can help you. Being the acting director isn't that difficult. I just need to coordinate everyone's work and give orders."

At this time, Fujiwara Hiroshi came to Kuroda Naoko and said to her.

"Yes, yes! I'll go to the wine cellar and get a few bottles of wine first. Sukama, you go to the kitchen and prepare some food." Araki has made arrangements and a place to go for himself.

"Okay, then Sonoko, go check on the feverish little brother. Then, Mr. Doita, Mr. Fujiwara, let's put the cups on the table!"

Naoko Kuroda tried to arrange everyone's work.

"Okay!" Everyone responded and then went to do their own work.

"Look, isn't this a very good arrangement? There's nothing you can't do, it's just a matter of whether you're willing to do it or not!" Fujiwara Hiroya cheered for Kuroda Naoko.

"How is it? Is Conan okay?" Sonoko returned to the room and asked Xiaolan.

"Well, the fever has basically subsided." Xiaolan has now confirmed that Conan is not in serious trouble and is more relaxed.

"And thanks to Mr. Doita for the cold and fever medicine!"

"Great!" Sonoko sat down on the bed next to her.

"But Sonoko, Mr. Doita is a nice guy, except that he doesn't look the same as you imagined."

"Yeah, okay, let's not talk about this anymore! It's such a pity that you didn't see it just now, Xiaolan. Mr. Hamano was performing magic.

Although there were a few mistakes at the end, it was really wonderful." Sonoko described it to Xiaolan excitedly.

"Huh!?" Xiaolan also exclaimed in surprise.

"He will perform some entertainment programs later. Xiaolan, come down and watch!" Sonoko stood up and invited Xiaolan.

"But Conan..." Xiaolan was a little moved, but also a little hesitant.

"It's okay! His fever has subsided. It will be fine if he stays there for an hour or two." After saying that, Yuanzi took Xiaolan's hand and walked out the door.
