Chapter 1528 1536 [Who are you fooling] Ask for monthly ticket (〃〃)
Jiang Xia watched the performance attentively.
Subaru Okiya also sat next to them, feeling uneasy - the tickets here all had fixed seating numbers on them, and the ticket the magician just gave to Jiang Xia was taken out of a stack of tickets, so their seats were next to each other.
Jiang Xia didn't sit next to Okiya Subaru on purpose, because Okiya Subaru took the initiative for once and occupied the seat closest to the edge, and Conan immediately jumped onto the stool next to him.
Jiang Xia thought about it and simply sat at the other edge of the row of seats - it was a bit boring to sit next to his own people on both sides, and sitting here, he could see if the random neighbor would bring him some different surprises.
Magic is a performance activity that has a wide audience. The venue rented by this magic troupe is very large, and there were many more people who came than expected.
The venue filled up quickly.
Among the audience who entered was a bald middle-aged man in casual clothes.
Inspector Asa had always been interested in magic, and when he heard that this was another foreign team, he came here with his friends to have some fun. Before he met that annoying Tokyo detective, Inspector Asa was generally a person who loved foreign culture very much. Even before he became a policeman, his ambition was actually to be a diplomat, which was why he spoke Japanese so fluently.
It was just that the recent trip to Tokyo did not leave him with a very good impression. The only difference was the case on the plane on the last return trip - it was like unveiling a terrible curtain, with murders one after another. He had not slept well these days, and even dreamed that the Tokyo detective was carrying a truckload of cases and chasing him to work overtime.
Inspector Yasa: “…” Fortunately, the nightmare day yesterday is over.
The three cases from morning to night left him exhausted.
But who would have thought that after yesterday, today would be peaceful all day long, which gave Inspector Yasa a glimmer of hope - he secretly thought that perhaps the group of Tokyo people had already gone back, so it seemed that today, he could leisurely enjoy this wonderful night.
Inspector Yasser found a seat and sat down, leaning comfortably against the soft chair back.
He was about to chat with his friend, but before he could open his mouth, the audience on the other side was very outgoing and suddenly greeted him: "Hi!"
The voice sounded a little happy.
"?"
...I actually met an acquaintance here?
Inspector Asa turned around in surprise and was about to say hello politely, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw the person sitting next to him - the young Tokyo detective.
Why is this person here?!
"Inspector, your work doesn't seem very busy? You actually have time to come out and watch a show, and you even went to Tokyo a while ago." The young detective seemed to be in a very happy mood when he saw him, and he even looked like he wanted to talk to him. "Do you usually have a lot of murders here? If you need me, remember to come to me anytime."
Inspector Yasa: “…”
He crossed his arms silently and didn't want to talk at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, the performance suddenly began. Several rows of searchlights of different colors flashed across the screen, and the light flashed and disappeared. Then, candles lit up around the stage.
In the middle of the candlesticks, a huge cage appeared, and inside it was a "white tiger" that looked very ferocious. The white tiger roared, and the roar swept through the venue like a wave, making the noisy seats quiet for a brief moment.
Assistants pulled up curtains from two sides to cover the cage. The cage was hoisted in the air by the prop master. The next moment, as the curtains were opened, the white tiger in the cage disappeared, and it was replaced by the magician with his arms raised high, gesturing to the surroundings.
At this time, Okiya Subaru opened his mobile phone and silently played a recording.
Applause and screams poured out of his phone like a tide, and he immediately joined in the applause. Although it seemed a little unprofessional from all angles, no one in the dimly lit auditorium cared about this flaw. It was as if it was contagious, and the cheers spread out like a wave from him to the surroundings, and the scene quickly became heated.
The magician listened to the enthusiastic cheers and walked out of the cage with satisfaction. He took the microphone handed to him by his assistant and ex-wife and said, "Everyone, welcome to my magic show in Dongcheng Huanyang. Tonight, please enjoy the bizarre world of magic!"
…
Amidst the applause, various magic tricks began to be performed one after another, including the very famous human cutting magic.
Some viewers were nervous while watching this, but some others thought it was a bit old-fashioned - Conan certainly belongs to the latter. For a detective, magic is certainly a puzzle worth solving, and Conan has already figured out the principles of the most common magic tricks.
Rather than magic, Conan's attention was now completely focused on Subaru Okiya next to him.
"Brother Okiya." Conan tugged at Subaru Okiya's sleeve, "What on earth are you doing in England? Why are you even disguising your face?"
Okiya Subaru's eyes twitched and he stared at the stage, pretending not to hear.
It happened that the venue was extremely noisy at the moment, and in order to cover up the noise of the mechanisms on the stage, the background music was deafening. It was very reasonable that he could not hear a child talking.
However, the next second, Subaru Okiya realized that he had overestimated the boy's moral integrity.
Conan actually climbed onto the handrail and shouted into his ear: "Okiya-nii, can you hear me?!"
Okiya Subaru: "..."
...If he says he can't hear it now, then next time, he suspects this naughty kid will borrow a loudspeaker and shout into his ear, deafening him.
He could only pretend to have just noticed it and turned to look over, "What's wrong?"
Conan repeated the question again.
Subaru Okiya sighed, "Oh, it's a long story. There is a hidden story behind these things, and it's a serious matter. I can't tell you directly. I can only say that those who know know it, and those who don't know it won't know it even if I tell them. You are just a child, and it's useless even if you know it, so don't ask nonsense."
As he said that, he rubbed Conan's head: I always saw Jiang Xia knocking on it these past two days, and now that I touched it myself, I found that it feels unexpectedly good.
Because the music around them was deafening, and Subaru Okiya didn't deliberately raise his voice when he spoke, it took Conan several times to finally hear that part of his conversation clearly.
His forehead jumped and he couldn't help but clench his fists:...What standard nonsense.
Although there are many conveniences in being a child, it seems that there are also corresponding disadvantages - just like now, even if he is trying hard to pretend to be talking about serious matters, if Okiya Subaru doesn't want to talk about it, he can easily change the subject.
Conan: "..." Damn it, this won't work. We have to think of a way...
He touched his chin and rolled his eyes slightly.
Thanks to Huan Yang for the reward |'-')
