already know what he was doing.
Kira seemed to be bored with the performance. Well It was no wonder. Kyhohei Ichimura was a really good magician and he also had charisma, but of course this idea was geared towards children and as he knew Shinichi, he saw through every trick here anyway. But after the performance, when the other kids had left, Kaito understood what Kira really wanted here. Starting with a light magic trick that she was shown, she slowly changed the subject. Until she questioned him about everyone Jii and his mother Hibarue had put on the list.Kaito didn't understand the context of the information, but Kira seemed satisfied when they left the old wizard.
But that didn't seem to be enough for her. Slowly they worked their way through the whole house. Kaito could only shake her head, what the little brat into which Shinichi had turned, could get all the knowledge out of the very experienced wizards. And it wasn't just men. Well-known magicians like Aiko Ukita and Mitsui Lyikatar also revealed a lot more to the cute girl than they wanted. Conan must have been right, Kaito had to admit. Children actually coaxed all sorts of secrets from adults. When they switched from one room to the other again, Kaito couldn't control herself anymore.
"Have you found out anything?" he whispered to her.
Kira laughed. "You must know that. You heard everything!"
The thief sighed. "Possible! But I can't see any connection. You ask everyone about everyone.What is that supposed to help?"
"Are you crazy? That is the alpha and omega of the detective job. Besides, I've actually known who the murderer must have been since I looked through the listing with the explanations." grinned the girl.
Kaito opened his eyes and mouth in amazement. "What? You are not serious!" he just stuttered.
But Kira nodded seriously. "Yes! It is so! The possible motive told me. And so far everything I have heard confirms my suspicion!" She pulled him on. "Now let's ask the wizards in your room and then the real trouble begins!"
"What trouble?" inquired the master thief.
"Well! The evidence!" Shinichi's eyes smiled at the sight of the cute girl. "It will be really difficult after all these years. After all, he should be called to account. With these words she opened the door, switched back to the little girl and began to squeeze the wizard. But suddenly she broke off, stopped short and ran from the room without comment."Toilet!" she called to Kaito and was already gone.

About 10 minutes later the radio receiver tugged on the K badge.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Um, Kaito!" he heard Shinichi's voice. Obviously he had turned back. “I need your help!” In the background he heard excited voices. "Urgent!"
He thought of the last word that Kira had called after him and blasphemed. "Can't you go to the bathroom by yourself?"
"That is not the problem!" stammered the detective. "I'm not coming down alone!"
"Huh?" he made uncomprehending.
"Understand! As Kira I had to go to the girls' bathroom when I noticed that the transformation was beginning. They didn't want to let me into the men's room. The only problem is that as Shinichi I can't get out anymore. Everything seems to be due ! "
Kaito snorted. It took a while until he had recovered enough that he could speak another word clearly. "This is just unreal.The great master detective Shinichi Kudo, the man who wanted to catch me, is stuck in the girls' toilet? "He finally smirked.
"Um! Yes! You could say that!" confessed the embarrassed.
"Have you ever looked out the window? Maybe you can disappear like this!" he suggested.
"I've already thought of that, but it doesn't work. There are iron bars in front of the window and the ventilation grille is also welded!" explained the detective.
"I'm coming!" Kaito finally sighed and asked himself the moment he stepped into the said corridor, how he should distract the five girls who were standing in front of the toilet and worrying loudly about the child who did not want to come out. Suddenly an idea occurred to him. He stepped up to them, obviously worried, and stole from them without their noticing. "Hi!" he said then. "I don't know if it's yours, but someone put a lot of money back there. I guess a young magician wanted to prove what he can do.Better check your pockets. With so many magicians, you never know! "
The Girlis fiddled around in their pockets, but of course their valuables were gone. Quickly and wildly talking to each other, they disappeared around the next bend in the corridor.
"You can come out, Shinichi!" Kaito laughed as he put the wallets on the nearest window sill. "They're gone!"
He opened the door a little crack, peered out cautiously, and then stepped out into the corridor, relieved. When he noticed what Kaito was doing, he grimaced a little, but said nothing, because he would not have known how to lure the girls away.

Setsuna Mudo went down the basement stairs. It annoyed him, but he couldn't refuse Kyhohei Ichimura's request to bring him a special bottle of wine from the back of the basement. The old wizard was so popular that it would have been too noticeable if he had refused, as he wanted. Oh!He was always happy when the annual meeting of wizards was over.
The glow of his flashlight wandered down the long corridor. What a bummer, however, that the electric light must have given up the ghost down here.
"Uuuuhhh!" he suddenly thought he heard. He shook his head angrily. Who was having a joke with him? An ice-cold breeze slipped past him, making him shudder for a moment.
"Uuuuhhh!" did it again. This time a little louder and clearer.
"Damn it!" he muttered. "I don't believe in ghosts. There is always a real explanation!"
"Killer!" whispered it to him.
"What's the nonsense?" he shouted angrily, but it was only answered with an eerie laugh.
"Killer!" the voice sounded even clearer this time.
He got goose bumps. It wasn't the creepy atmosphere that scared him, but the voice. - This voice!
"Killer!"
Setsuna Mudo shook herself. It was impossible. That voice just couldn't sound anymore.He quickly let the light of the flashlight wander over the walls, but there was nothing to be seen. He took a deep breath. No! He wasn't going to be driven crazy. Everything was explainable. There! Suddenly the flashlight was snatched from him and its light went out.
"What's the nonsense?" he growled, but he couldn't keep his voice from shaking a little. It was now total darkness around him.
"Killer!" he heard again and this time he could no longer argue from himself whose voice it was.
"Toichi!" he groaned. "But you are dead!"
A loud laugh answered him. A small green light shimmered in the distance. "You must know, murderer!" he heard to his horror. Involuntarily he walked towards the light.
"No!" he groaned. “It was an accident! The police have confirmed that!” It sounded as if he wanted to convince himself.
Laughter rang out again. "Who are you kidding? You and I know better, murderer!I'm here to take you At last you should receive your just punishment. Just come! I'm waiting for you!"
"No way!" Setsuna Mudo yelled, turned and ran away from the green light. “You will never get me!” Gradually he lost his belief in rationality.
"Haha!" the voice rang out suddenly before him. "How do you want to flee from the dead. Murderer! Don't you want to finally confess? I will only disappear when you admit the murder you committed me."
"No!" he whimpered. "No!"
Now the green light appeared on this side and he could see a face. It was clearly Toichi's face. That was finally too much for the shocked man, who now believed anything was possible.
"Yes!" he cried out. "Damn it! Yes! I killed you. I manipulated your magic box. You blocked my future as a magician and I wanted Hibarue. You had everything and I shouldn't get anything!"At that moment everything suddenly became bright. The electric light came on. At first he couldn't see anything in the sudden brightness, but gradually a few people took shape. Horrified, he realized that it wasn't Toichi he had seen, but his son Kaito, who was holding a flashlight covered with a greenish translucent paper in his hand. There were also a few policemen, a stout man in a brown suit and a hat on his head, Hibarue Kuroba and another younger man standing around him. The stout man stepped up to him.
"Setsuna Mudo! I am Inspector Megure and I am arresting you for the murder of Toichi Kuroba!"
He swallowed hard. It took him a moment to come to terms with the changed situation. But it was immediately clear to him that denying it would now no longer help, since he had just confessed to murder in front of everyone's ears.
"How did you know that so that you could set this trap for me?" he wanted to know."You owe that to my friend Shinichi Kudo. He called me earlier and told me what he had found."
Setsuna Mudo winced. Shinichi Kudo? Yes! He'd heard of that before. When he looked more closely at the young man standing next to Kaito, he recognized him. Correct! He'd seen it on TV and in the newspapers. And of all people, he had to run into this young genius detective. "How did you find me?" he wanted to know from him.
"That wasn't difficult. You were the one who had the biggest motive back then. Jealousy and vengeance! You developed some of the best tricks that Toichi Kuroba had shown in his shows. But he told you that you will never really be a great magician Besides, you were in love with his wife and believed that she would reciprocate your feelings if only it weren't for her husband! You were extremely bitter that she rejected you after he died! ""Yes!" he cried out. "He just wanted to use me, keep doing my tricks for his shows, but he didn't give me a career of my own."
Then Hibarue Kuroba interfered.
"You fool! You weren't really listening to Toichi. Yes! He told you that you lacked the mysterious charisma so necessary for a
