Chapter 232: Even without the halo of death, the night is still so beautiful
dong dong dong.

There was a knock on Hamano's door.

"Who is this?" Soon, Hamano inside responded. After opening the door, Hamano saw that there was no one outside. "Huh? Did I hear wrong?" Hamano said, and took two steps outside to see if someone was playing a prank. "Strange... um!" Before Hamano could react, he felt a pain in his neck, and then lost consciousness. Before he fell to the ground and made a sound. I had already caught him. Then I dragged him into the room, threw him on the bed, closed the door, and then sat in the blind spot of the window and waited. Time passed by every second, and sure enough, not long after, Hamano's window was opened. Miss Tanaka jumped in with a hemp rope in her mouth. She was slightly stunned when she saw Hamano lying on the bed, but she still chose to take action.

"Are you really going to do it?" I, who was sitting in a blind spot hiding my presence, spoke the moment she took action.

"Eh?!" Miss Tanaka turned around in panic when she heard the voice, and then she found me sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. "Little brother, why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter why I'm here. What matters is that you do this. Would Mr. Harui really want to see this in his grave?" I said calmly, looking at Tanaka.

"What?!" Tanaka was surprised.

"Mr. Harui, that's your grandfather, right? Miss Tanaka."

"You, how do you know!" Tanaka held the hemp rope in his hand and looked at me warily. "Who are you?"

"A.secret.makes.a.gentleman.more.style." I stood up while saying this. "The people here should all be your grandfather's online friends. Why? Do you have to kill Hamano? Is it related to the magic trick that caused Mr. Harui's accidental death?"

"You, how do you know so much?" Seeing me approaching, Miss Tanaka subconsciously took a step back.

"Oh, it's not that I know that much, but it's Doi Takeshu." I explained. "You explain it to him yourself."

"Huh?" After hearing what I said, Miss Tanaka turned around suddenly and found that Takeki Doi had been standing at the door of Hamano's room at some point.

"I sat with Miss Kuroda for a while and found that everything was fine. So I ran here." Kaito explained to me. "As expected, Miss Tanaka, do you want to kill Hamano?"

"Oh, it's Doi Tower." Tanaka put down her nervous hands. Then, deep resentment appeared on her face. "Yes, I am the granddaughter of Harui Fuden." At this point, Miss Tanaka's identity has been exposed and she can no longer hide it. "The purpose of my coming here is to kill Hamano and Nishiyama!"

"Xishanwu, who hasn't arrived yet, should be dead, right?" I said without emotion.

"Ah, I believe the police have already found his body. In order to delay time, I burned the only suspension bridge that can lead to here. I thought that after killing Hamano, I could use magic to cover up the truth. Haha, it seems that there is no chance."

"I think if Mr. Chunjing knew what you were thinking, he would definitely teach you a lesson." Doi Takeshu frowned.

"You don't understand me at all!" Miss Tanaka suddenly became emotional. "Originally, I would never give in to these people for such a trivial matter, but until I saw the conversation between Hamano and Nishiyama..." Miss Tanaka said, she spread out a folded paper in her pocket and handed it to Kaito. There was a detailed record of the chat room conversation on it.

【I was also shocked when I saw the news. 】

[Well, it should be what he wants to die on stage. Hahahaha.]

[This is what is called the only hope for the elderly, haha. ]

"So, you wanted to kill Nishiyama and Hamano for framing Mr. Harui in this way?" I continued to ask after reading the records.

"Yes, I simply cannot forgive them for saying that. Grandpa has already... but he still has to endure such foul language. I really... Woo woo." As she said this, Miss Tanaka knelt on the ground and started crying.

"Anyway, now that things have come to this, Miss Tanaka, I hope you'll stop. Although what Mr. Hamano and the others did was indeed wrong, their crime does not deserve the death penalty, and Mr. Nishiyama has also paid the price for it. There is no need for you to take another life to increase your guilt." Kaito patted Tanaka's shoulder gently.

"I understand. I will turn myself in to the police." Tanaka lowered his head and said regretfully. "But why? Mr. Doita, you should have known that my grandfather was a liar, right?"

"Because, I am also a magician." Doi Takushu smiled innocently. "But you have to help me keep this secret until the end." As he spoke, Doi Takushu pulled his clothes, and in an instant, a white suit dress appeared in front of Miss Tanaka.

"Strange, Kaito Kid?!" Miss Tanaka was horrified, even a blush appeared on her cheeks. Seeing the top magician in Japan at such a close distance, even though he was a thief, this was enough to surprise Miss Tanaka.

"Yes, Deception Boy was Mr. Harui's alias when he debuted. By chance, I joined his chat room. However, after the performance accident, he continued to appear online. This made me suspicious, so I came here to find out. Unfortunately, I don't know what you think, otherwise I might be able to prevent Mr. Nishiyama's death and your guilt."

"No, it's no use saying this anymore." Tanaka wiped the tears from his eyes and said to us. "I'm sorry, it was supposed to be a happy gathering, but because of my selfishness, it has developed to this point. I'm really sorry."

"If you want to say sorry, please do it after this party." I said to Tanaka. "Although you killed Nishiyama Mu, at least Hamano is still alive, so please use today's perfect party to cleanse yourself. If you want to surrender, we won't stop you. Of course, if you can get away with it, we won't say anything."

"Eh?"

"Well... my goal is just to hope that Xiaolan and Sonoko can enjoy this party. As for the rest, I won't care whether you turn yourself in or not. As for Kidd, he shouldn't care either, right?"

"I'm a thief and don't like dealing with the police." Kaito waved his cape and turned into Doi Takeshu again. "I'm looking forward to tonight's entertainment program. Let Hamano handle this difficult problem." Kaito walked out of the room first.

"Well, go back quickly, Ms. Tanaka. I will clean up the traces here for you later."

"You, little brother, who are you..." Tanaka looked at me, who was speaking maturely, and couldn't help but wonder.

"I told you so." I smiled at Tanaka. "A.secret.makes.a.gentleman.more.style."————The smell of orchids, the smell of lavender, the smell of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

An hour later, Hamano came down rubbing the back of his neck. When he came down, everyone was already sitting at the table waiting for him.

"Really, Hamano, why are you so slow?" Miss Kuroda said dissatisfiedly.

"I don't know either. I seemed to have been knocked unconscious by someone just now. I just woke up." Hamano said in confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Miss Kuroda said unhappily. "Are you looking for this lousy borrower because you can't think of an entertainment program?"

"Well, don't be angry, acting director, believe in my ability." Soon, Hamano gave up the reason why he slept in the bed, and quickly immersed himself in thinking about the entertainment program. This night was unusually peaceful.

At night, Xiaolan and Sonoko fell asleep peacefully, but I, who was assigned to the same room with Kaito, sat by the window with Kaito for a long time without falling asleep.

"It's great, such a peaceful night." Kaito, without disguise, sat in front of the window in his pajamas, looking at the snowy scene outside under the moonlight. "Bing, do you think Miss Tanaka will turn herself in?"

"It doesn't matter." I sat at the table and played with my phone. Although other people's phones had no signal here, it was still possible to go online and check the task database. "If she surrendered herself, she would be sentenced to about three to five years. If she didn't surrender herself, she would be arrested and sentenced to five to ten years. If she wasn't arrested, she would be free. And you can use some connections and spend some money to redeem her. Which one do you think is more worth the gamble?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I've been stealing for so long, I'll probably be sentenced to several years in jail." Kaito shrugged and smiled.

"Then I should be shot dozens of times?" I laughed as well. "So let her be. After what happened tonight, I believe she will have her own ideas. If she is really willing to correct herself."

"Sometimes, I really don't understand you." Kaito leaned against the balcony and turned to look at me. "You've killed countless people, but now you can sit here and enjoy your life peacefully. Although what I said is inappropriate, don't you have any so-called guilt?"

"If that thing can bring back the lives of those I killed." I turned to look at Kaito. "Before that, I was just following orders in the organization, like a machine. After that, all the tasks I do are green. The only few people I killed were those who should be killed, and they were all personally selected by the government. Even if I didn't do it, they would only have the death penalty in the hands of the government. And the government would mobilize countless police to arrest them, which would only increase casualties."

"Oh? You are working for the government now?" Kaito was surprised.

"Just think of it as making up for my past mistakes." I leaned back in my chair. "Now I just hope that I can make up for some of my past mistakes through this method, and open up a so-called light for this dark world that can never be wiped clean. Although killing is also illegal, it is better than letting those real good policemen fall under the guns of the black forces, isn't it?"

"An executor in the dark?" Kaito said calmly. "Well, since the government has acknowledged your existence, what else can I say? Bing, I hope that one day you can really stand back beside your lovely sister as Mori Kaoru."

"Well, thanks." I gave Kaito a thankful look. "You and Aoko too. Don't forget that your father-in-law is the policeman who arrested you. Don't expose your true colors in front of his father because of Aoko."

"Ahaha, ahahaha." Kaito smiled awkwardly, "I'll pay attention."

After a short chat, I flipped through my phone again to see if there were any tasks I could do in the near future. There were actually not many green tasks in Tokyo, Japan. I flipped through them for a long time but I didn't find anything I could do at this stage. After thinking about it, I flipped through the red ones again. It would have been better if I hadn't flipped through them. I actually found a task that caught my attention.

"Kaito, come and take a look at this." I hurriedly called Kaito over.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kaito saw my expression change and hurried to my side. After seeing the red text on my screen, Kaito's eyes suddenly contracted.

[Obtain the secret treasure of the Romanov dynasty of Russia, the Easter Egg of Memories, worth 15 million US dollars.]

"Is that egg so valuable?" I asked Kaito. "It must be 1.5 billion yen, right?"

"No, I don't think it's that valuable." Kaito said. "But if this egg of memory is related to the treasure of the Romanov dynasty, it must be worth more than this." Kaito said solemnly. "Huh? What does the bullet at the back mean?"

"It means someone has already taken up the mission. That person could be a killer, a mercenary, or a thief. Anyway, it's not a serious profession. Kaito, why don't you give up this operation. If he really is a professional killer, you will die." I said with concern.

"Huh... How can that be possible? I've already thought of the notice letter and will send it to the police station in a while. How can I back down because of such a small difficulty at this time? Don't forget, I'm Kaito Kidd."

"Uh... you're just like that great detective. If you don't show off, you'll die." I rolled my eyes at Kaito. "Okay, okay, go ahead. But be careful."

"Hi hi~ Mr. Killer." Kaito said with a grin.

"Forget it, I'll send you something in a few days."

"Huh? What is it?"

"It's definitely a good thing." I kept it a secret.

"It's not another fish, is it?" Kaito said with a bitter look.

"Oh, are you talking about this?" While Kaito wasn't paying attention, I pulled out a salmon from my necklace and threw it into Kaito's arms. Kaito screamed "Wow!" and even the snow on the trees in the backyard was shaken off by his scream. Fortunately, it was late at night, and even if someone heard the scream, it would be difficult to tell who it was. Kaito also had enough time to disguise himself and go back.

The next morning, the police helicopter flew to the holiday cottage. They took us all back. At the same time, they also explained the situation of Nishiyama Wu to everyone, and everyone was shocked. I didn't expect that Shadow Master was the murderer. However, Miss Tanaka did not surrender on the spot, and Kaito and I did not point it out. After all, there was no clue in this villa. The case became an unsolved case. Everyone was sent back to the city to take a statement. Kaito relied on the identity of Doi Takeki to get away with it. We also left after taking the statement because of Miss Suzuki's relationship. As for whether Miss Tanaka admitted it or not, no one cared about her. Without Conan's halo, one less person died and Xiaolan had a happy holiday. I was very satisfied with this. Although Conan wanted to check the case. But he was stopped by his father and sent back home. After all, his illness was not healed yet. And the next day after he recovered from his illness, we received a letter from the doctor, saying that he was going to take six children, including me and Ai, to go camping for the first time for the six members of the Junior Detective Team.
