Chapter 1458 Accident during performance

On the stage, after the props for the performance were prepared, the great magician Toshu Saitenmei appeared on the stage with his eyes tied with ropes and even his eyes were covered with cloth. Next to him, the daughter of Toshu Saitenmei's assistant, Then he began to introduce this "Fire Escape" magic to the audience present——

I saw that a ignition stand had been set up with wood on the stage at this time, and a coffin was placed on the ignition stand.

In this way, they are the props used in performances.

From now on, Toshu Sai Tenmei, as a magic performer, will be tied up and blindfolded throughout the whole process, and all preparations will be left to his assistant daughter and magician Yabada Yoshiyuki.

In this way, as the performance kicked off, the audience began to hold their breath and fully anticipated the magic performance.

In this regard, Kuroba Kaito, who originally came here for this magic, could be said to be carefully observing the arrangement of magic props in front of him in the audience——

According to the relevant magic videos that have been watched in advance, the performer himself will be tied into the locked coffin, and then the fire rack under the coffin will start to light up, trapping the magician in the coffin in flames.

If you cannot escape from the coffin within the time limit, the magician himself will be buried in the sea of ​​fire...

Of course, this is only the superficial process of this magic. The real key is...

In this way, everything on the field is as Kuroba Kaito knows——

Toshu Sai Tenmei, who had already been tied up on stage, will now be helped by the magician Yabada Yoshiyuki to tie him up with iron chains, and at the same time, a lock will be placed on the iron chains to ensure the strength of the binding.

Afterwards, after doing all this, Yabada Yoshiyuki put the tied Toshu Sai Tenmei in a sack in front of everyone, and put him into the coffin.

Finally, lock the coffin and light the ignition stand below——

Suddenly, probably with the help of a combustion accelerant, the ignition stand made of a pile of wood suddenly burst into flames, engulfing the coffin placed on it.

And through the flames, the audience in the audience could see that the coffin was placed there like this on the flames. No one could get close to it, and there seemed to be no changes. Only occasionally there were traces of the struggle of the people inside, which caused There will be some vibration in the coffin.

In this regard, watching this extremely dangerous scene, the audience in the audience looked at it very seriously. Most of them stared at the coffin, wanting to see how the great magician escaped from it.

But seeing this, Mouri Kogoro, who was a little numb because he just went on stage to cooperate with the performance, immediately seemed very proud after seeing this magic show, and said with confidence:

"I've seen this magic trick on TV before."

"Huh?"

Xiaolan was a little surprised to hear Mouri Kogoro say this.

As a result, Mouri Kogoro seemed to want to show off his knowledge, so he opened his mouth and continued to explain:

"Wait a minute and there will be men descending from the ceiling with ropes and then rescue the people who are put in the sacks."

"Huh? Didn't the magic fail? Someone needs to save it."

Hearing this, Xiaolan asked with some confusion.

"no."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro clasped his hands in front of him and began to explain in a pretentious manner:

"Actually, the man descending from the ceiling with a rope is Dongzhou Zhai, and the one lying in the coffin is his daughter who just became an assistant."

"Liar."

In this regard, Xiaolan didn't believe her father's statement at all, and felt that this was probably her father's nonsense.

Conan also had the same view and felt that what Mouri Kogoro said was wrong.

After all, if I follow the magic process described by Kogoro Mori, then the magic techniques I can think of should be...

——"Before entering the coffin, the performer who was wrapped in a sack should have been replaced by the magician himself as the female assistant. In this case, the person locked in the coffin will be the female assistant from beginning to end. , and the purpose of putting on the sack is also to conceal the fact that the person locked in the coffin has been replaced. Therefore, the magician who has never been locked in the coffin can appear at the critical moment of the performance and pretend that the magic has failed. , solve the assistant trapped in the coffin...

"but……"

At this time, because of Dongzhou Zhaitianming's "Fire Escape" magic, Gao Yuan also watched the previous magic performance video of Dongzhou Zhaitianming in advance, so he also knew the general process of this magic, and based on the process shown in the magic , guessing that the core technique of this magic may be that the person who was put in the sack has been replaced before entering the coffin.

But now, Gao Yuan, who was watching this magic at the scene, noticed that after the coffin was locked, the female assistant was still on the stage, until after the ignition was started and all the staff on the stage retreated, The female assistant just disappeared from the stage, so Gao Yuan knew that the magic technique he had guessed before was not valid——

However, of course, it is also possible that Dongshu Saitianming's performance improved the process of this magic...

But in any case, the exploration of the core techniques of magic should be left to professionals. I am just here to watch a magic show...

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan, who had been observing the magic carefully because it was similar to Kuroba Toichi's last magic show, now relaxed and felt that he didn't need to be so concerned. Anyway...

Kuroba Kaito himself was at the scene...

——"The magician who is supposed to be locked in the coffin will eventually come down from the ceiling. What is the core technique here..."

Seriously, looking at the coffin surrounded by fire on the stage, Kuroba Kaito was thinking seriously, but soon, Kuroba Kaito paid attention to the time and found that something seemed wrong——

"Wait a minute? Has it been too long? Aren't you coming down from the ceiling yet? Those flames are not decorations. With such a temperature, no matter who is in that coffin, they should..."

With a bad premonition in his heart, Kuroba Kaito stared at the coffin...

——"Really, look like it's almost coming down from the ceiling..."

At the same time, Mouri Kogoro would face Xiaolan and Conan's distrust of his statement. In order to prove himself, Mouri Kogoro began to look at the ceiling. As he said this, he seemed to be expecting some movement on the ceiling as soon as possible. .

However, there was no movement, and the fire on the stage became more and more fierce. The fierce flames almost covered the audience's sight, and the coffin was completely engulfed in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Seeing this, Conan couldn't help but wonder:

"Uncle, will someone really come down from the ceiling to save people?"

Not to mention whether Mouri Kogoro's statement is correct or not, if there are still people in the coffin with such a fire, then...

Conan's expression became solemn when he thought of this.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, his expression was solemn, and then he paid attention to the reactions of other staff on the stage.

——

"Quickly put out the fire! The magic failed!"

At this time, she nervously ran to the front stage from the backstage. Toshu Sai Tenmei's daughter cried to Yabada Yoshiyuki who was guarding the side of the stage:

"Dad is still in there!"
