It's just a grocery store.

Chapter 301 I tell you to be careful

Mrs. Qihui still shook her head and denied it, and the police did not detect any sleeping pills in her husband's body.

"Not only were there no signs of being tied up, but all the doors in the house were locked. The police found no signs of any intrusion from outside."

Kogoro Mouri relaxed and said frankly that the only possibility was suicide. Mrs. Nanae sighed and said the police said the same thing.

But she couldn't understand why her husband would commit suicide.

Maori Kogoro asked her,

"How can you say that?"

"Because tomorrow is the birthday of our precious daughter Fumino, my husband started preparing gifts a month ago and is looking forward to this day very much.

He wanted to hand the gift to Fumino personally. Do you think someone like him would want to commit suicide at this time?"

Indeed, his daughter's birthday was in a few days, and he was obviously looking forward to it, so why would he commit suicide?

Ling Cheng let go of Conan, who did not make any other moves. According to Madam Qihui, this was very suspicious and was very likely a murder.

As she spoke, Madam Qihui indicated that there was other evidence. She turned around and rummaged through her bag, pulling out two playing cards stuck together.

This was what she found on the table in the basement, an Ace of Spades and a Jack of Spades. She handed it to Maori Kogoro, and Ling Cheng saw it clearly with his good eyesight.

What does this represent? Madam Qihui said that the police had opened it, but there was nothing written inside. She glued it back afterwards in order to take it.

Ling Cheng and Conan couldn't figure it out, while Maori Kogoro thought it was a common magic trick. Mrs. Qihui retorted that her husband had never performed magic with playing cards, and she had never seen such a trick.

Speaking of this, Ling Cheng thought of someone who might know about magic.

When Maori Kogoro put the playing cards on the table, Ling Cheng took the opportunity to take a photo and sent it along with the questions.

Without waiting for a reply from the other party, Conan suggested going to her house. Maori Kogoro saw through Conan's purpose at a glance, exposed him without mercy and said that he would go alone this time.

Ling Cheng was about to say something, but Mao Lilan spoke first.

"What's the matter, Dad? Just take Conan and the others with you."

Kogoro Mouri looked over in surprise, Conan also looked over unconsciously, only Ling Cheng shook his head. It was over, Conan was definitely exposed.

Mao Lilan came over to explain,

"Conan and the others often know some strange things, maybe they can be of some help."

While Kogoro Mouri was still hesitating, Xiaolan had already taken her father's arm and was ready to go out. She looked back at Conan meaningfully.

"Right, Conan?"

Conan sensed something was wrong, but could only agree dumbly. Ling Cheng sighed in his heart, feeling very disappointed with his friend.

Mao Lilan was the first to go out, Ling Cheng held Conan's shoulders and passed him.

"I told you to be careful, but you didn't listen. I think it's going to explode."

"what?"

Conan didn't understand, but Ling Cheng didn't say anything else and just walked out. Maori Kogoro waited for everyone to leave and reminded them not to make trouble before turning off the lights and closing the door.

Arriving at the Nine-Nine Mansion, Maori Kogoro was surprised by the magnificence of the house, and Xiaolan said as a matter of course:

"Of course, the late Mr. Kujuku Motoyasu was a world-renowned magician."

After saying that, he didn't forget to ask Conan again. Ling Cheng looked around. It was magnificent, but it was too big and empty, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Kogoro Mouri went straight to the point and was about to go see the crime scene, but was stopped by a voice. Mrs. Nanae immediately revealed the identity of the person as Hyakuchi Yuji.

Baidi was talking to Xiaolan, and Ling Cheng's mouth twitched. No, why could a pick-up plot unfold here?

Momochi starts by asking Xiaolan if she has anything bothering her, and then uses a trick to conjure up a pigeon from behind her hair. Conan says that it's really annoying to watch.

It turned out that Momochi mistakenly thought that Kogoro Mori was a newcomer. Nanae hurriedly explained Mori's identity. Momochi was shocked and wondered why Mori came.

Another person came out from the other side.

"Why, you don't know? Of course he's here to investigate."

She stretched out her hand and the pigeon flew into her hand. Qihui introduced it as Sanhao Mazi.

Sanhao greeted them one by one, and when it came to Xiaolan, he deliberately added the adjective "plump". Before Xiaolan could wonder, several pigeons came out of her clothes and several flew out of her skirt.

Ling Cheng turned his head and saw Conan staring at him intently. Ling Cheng was too lazy to spit out any rebuke.

Xiaolan immediately pulled down her skirt and looked at Conan to ask if he saw it. The boy pretended to be stupid and said he didn't know what she was talking about.

Ling Cheng showed a disgusted expression and said, "I will despise you for five minutes."

Conan: Hello.

Then Sanhao began to lecture Bai, telling her to show the pigeons and at least perform like this.

Baidi didn't react much. He was more concerned about the significance of Maori's arrival. Sanhao told Madam Qihui what she was thinking. When it came to the two cards, Madam Qihui took them out again.

Baidi took over and said the same thing as Maori. Isn't this a magic trick?

The police also said it was suicide. Ling Cheng took out his cell phone and saw that there was no reply to the message. What was that guy doing? Was he going out to "work" again?

The cards in Momochi's hand were taken away. It turned out to be Sanada Kazuzo. He took the cards and tore them up while talking.

"That's right. At this point, searching the whole house will be of no use."

This action scared Kogoro Mouri, who kept asking him what he was doing. Ling Cheng was very calm. These magicians just love to perform visual tricks on others.

Ling Cheng, who had been fooled before, had some experience, while the other culprit sneezed violently.

Sanada scattered the fragments and said coolly:

"The only thing left is the fact that there is only one genius left out of the two. Got it?"

Maori Kogoro was about to rush over when Ling Cheng grabbed his clothes and complained:

"Uncle, calm down. Those two cards haven't been torn off at all. They must be hidden in their sleeves."

Kogoro Mouri was stunned and a little bit unconvinced, but Sanada opposite him showed a puzzled expression.

"Hey, kid, how do you know?"

Then he put the cards back in his hand, and Maori Kogoro calmed down. Ling Cheng couldn't help rolling his eyes when he thought of someone.

"I guess. There are only so many places you can hide something."

At least that's how it was with someone. After his bluff was exposed, Sanada's show of being cool failed, and Miyoshi couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiaolan also recognized that this was the magician who appeared at the 60th anniversary of the Suzuki family. Mr. Sanada saluted her, but Sanada warned her that if she didn't want the reputation of the famous detective to be affected, she should let Kogoro Mouri leave.

Maori Kogoro complained that his teacher was dead, but he acted as if nothing had happened. Miyoshi squatted down and looked at Sanada's scattered cards and said:

"Each card at the bottom of the deck is a different suit. He always advocates perfection, and this is not his style."
