Chapter 514 A step too late

"I remember."

Hearing what Kidd said, Sonoko said without hesitation: "I saw the news at that time. Master Chunjing passed away last month due to an accident during a magic show. It's a pity."

"I'm here for Master Harui." Kaito said, "I've been hiding my identity and joined the chat room for quite some time, so I know some of the inside story."

"In fact, Master Harui is in our chat room." Kaito revealed a big news.

Since everyone was sitting together and exchanging information with each other, Kaito would not hide anything and directly told the reason why he came here.

"What?" Sonoko was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "But isn't Master Harui already dead?"

Having said that, she turned her head and glanced at Ze Yu. The meaning revealed in her eyes was very simple.

[Could it be that Master Harui is just like Kaito Kid and Kinoshita, pretending to be dead but actually still alive? ]

After hearing what Kaito said, Sonoko had a sense of déjà vu, and she couldn't help but have such a thought in her mind.

"Sister Sonoko, you don't have to look at me like that." Ze Yu shook his head and said with some regret: "Master Chunjing did not fake his death, but really died."

Half a year ago, due to an accident, Ze Yu did not have time to save Master Chunjing. This is one of the few regrets in his heart.

Just like three years ago, when he didn't have time to save Minako, he was delayed by something.

Moreover, these two things that delayed Ze Yu’s time were the same thing... But let’s not talk about them here.

"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, Sonoko's reaction was the same as Ze Yu's, both feeling a little regretful.

Kaito continued, "Master Harui had already retired, but one day, while chatting in a chat room using the pseudonym 'Deception Boy', he was unintentionally influenced by some people and decided to come back and perform a magic escape."

"Obviously, he failed and even lost his life because of it. After Master Chunjing died, some people in the chat room mocked him."

"And the Miss Tanaka we saw today is actually the granddaughter of Uncle Harui. In my opinion, she may have other intentions for coming here in hiding her identity."

After the words fell, except for Ze Yu, the other two were stunned.

After a while, Shinichi suddenly realized and said, "I see, you came here because you were worried that someone might get into trouble, right?"

"I've read the news before. The head of the chat room, 'Xishan Wu', has died, and the murderer is apparently among us."

"He killed the director, burned the suspension bridge, and trapped us here. He definitely has no intention of letting us go and is planning to continue."

"If that person wanted to avenge Master Chunjing, then that makes sense."

"However, if we do this, we may all be in trouble. After all, we are all members of the chat room." Shinichi reasoned, "If the murderer takes his anger out on us and wants to retaliate against us, our situation will be very grim. Once we are left alone, anyone may be in danger."

Except Ze Yu.

When Shinichi was speaking, he subconsciously ignored Ze Yu, the outlier.

Others may be in danger, but Ze Yu definitely won’t, after all, his combat power is there.

There is no one on this earth who can threaten Ze Yu, so when Shinichi speaks, he usually excludes Ze Yu's existence.

Who makes Ze Yu's existence so special?
Shinichi was not worried at all that Ze Yu would be in danger. In his opinion, the people who would really be in danger would be those who caused trouble for Ze Yu.

Rather, Shinichi was looking forward to the murderer attacking Xiaoyu, and then being killed by Xiaoyu without a doubt.

This way, Shinichi saved a lot of effort and didn't have to work so hard to find the murderer hiding among the crowd.

"The director has been killed?" Sonoko was a little unbelievable, but she quickly reacted and asked anxiously, "Is the murderer Miss Tanaka?"

"I'm not sure yet," Kaito replied.

"Me too." Shinichi also expressed his attitude. He glanced at Touko and said, "However, although I have no evidence to prove that Miss Tanaka is the murderer, it is obvious that she is a big suspect... The premise is that everything this thief said is true." "Detective, I don't have time to tell lies to tease you now." After being ridiculed, Kaito was not angry, but just chuckled elegantly.

Show the style of a phantom thief.

"Okay, the infighting can stop." Ze Yu waved his hand, telling the two guys to shut up.

Lest they continue to argue and then develop into a fight.

It won't end well then.

Hearing this, Shinichi obediently restrained himself.

We still have to give face to Xiaoyu's words.

Just at this time……

"Dong, dong..."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open. Huiyuan Ai poked her head out and said expressionlessly, "Xiaoyu, someone died."

"Well……"

The four people in the room looked at each other.

Except for Ze Yu who remained calm, the other three could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Are we a little late?"

Shinichi asked stupidly.

"Maybe." Kaito silently took out a spare mask from his pocket and put it on his face.

He became 'Doi Takeshu' again.

.........

A moment later, everyone in the villa, except Conan, gathered on a balcony on the second floor.

Because from here, they could clearly see a body lying on the snow in the distance, but there were no traces around the body.

Not even a footprint.

This is outrageous.

"That person... is 'Hamano', right?" Xiaolan pointed at the other person and said with some disbelief.

"It's him, for sure." Ze Yu nodded calmly and said, "It seems that he is dead."

"Let's go over and check the situation!" Uncle Yi Ze said with a serious face, and rushed downstairs first.

The others quickly followed, and soon they arrived in the snow.

Doi Takeshu walked over, squatted on the ground, touched Hamano's neck, then shook his head and said with some regret: "He is dead."

"what?"

Hearing his words, everyone was startled and wanted to come over.

"Don't come over here." Doi Takeshu stopped everyone from moving forward. He carefully placed the body on the ground and said solemnly, "So as not to destroy the scene."
