Chapter 15301538 [Tool Detective]
At the same time, next to the stage.
Inspector Yasa didn't have time to think about the fact that he almost hit his head. He climbed onto the stage using his hands and feet, looked at the blood dripping from under the steel knife bed, and couldn't help but utter an ungentlemanly national curse.
Then he strode towards the steel bed: "Hurry up and put the person down!"
"You..." The two beautiful female assistants looked at him, then looked at Jiang Xia behind him, feeling a little at a loss.
"Untie the cloth and raise the blade, immediately!" Inspector Yasa took a look at the huge bed of steel nails and felt that the person on the bed must be dead. But the process still had to be followed. If he continued to be pressed under the steel plate, he would definitely die more completely.
The assistants hesitated for a moment and opened the cloth surrounding the steel knife bed.
Inspector Yassa frowned and looked over.
However, it was different from the imagined "steel plate sandwich" - the magician was not sandwiched between the two steel plates, but was lying on top of the two steel plates with his body unharmed.
Seeing someone rushing onto the stage, he turned around, sat up gracefully, and then showed a tolerant smile: "Oh, it seems that a little detective was impressed by my thrilling performance and mistakenly thought I was... uh, who are you...?"
Seeing Inspector Asa with an angry look on his face, the magician was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xia had just arrived in London and solved three cases in a row, which were also reported in the newspapers and attracted some attention. This time, the magician invited him to come, not only to catch Kinoshita Yoko, but also to let Jiang Xia rush to the stage after seeing the "help signal" to make the show more effective.
——The magic he performed was so realistic that even professional detectives couldn't figure it out, and they hurriedly wanted to rush onto the stage to save people. This would undoubtedly make his skills recognized by more people and make the atmosphere on the scene even more lively.
Unexpectedly, the situation was actually different from what was expected. Jiang Xia did run up, but the person ahead of him was a middle-aged man holding a police ID.
Why did you alarm the police?
The magician really doesn't want to deal with the police. He always feels that this kind of official force will be troublesome.
He didn't dare to use Inspector Yasa's crazy praise for himself, so he had to change the subject and restrain himself a little. He looked at the police and said, "Haha, I'm so sorry, it seems that there is a little misunderstanding between us... Thank you for your help!"
Then the magician turned to the audience and hurriedly ended the farce: "There will be more thrilling magic in the second half, please stay tuned!"
Even so, the audience in the audience did not know that they had agreed on the "help gesture" in advance.
Seeing the policeman rushing onto the stage to save the man, the audience covered their lips and laughed in good-natured laughter, thinking that this policeman might have seen too few escape magic tricks and had never seen the world, and was actually scared by the magic and thought a murder had occurred.
Inspector Yasa did not expect that things would turn out this way.
He faced various gazes from the audience, feeling extremely embarrassed, and walked off the stage cursing in his heart.
Jiang Xia also followed in a low profile.
Return to your seat and the show begins again.
In the heated atmosphere, Inspector Yasa turned to look at him in frustration: "What the hell is going on?!"
Jiang Xia sighed: "It's just as you understood - the magician thought someone wanted to kill him, so before the performance began, he agreed with us to make a 'gesture for help', which is the same gesture he made on the steel knife bed just now.
"But now that I think about it, that grasping action is indeed somewhat common. Maybe just now, he was just pretending to struggle and made that move unintentionally, causing me to misunderstand."
Subaru Okiya pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, expressing a different opinion in his heart: "..." He always felt that based on his superficial understanding of the magician leader and the magician's reputation in the group, what happened just now was not an "accidental coincidence" at all, but a scene deliberately created by the magician.
At the same time, Subaru Okiya suddenly remembered the conversation between the magician and his apprentice that he overheard at the side door just now, before Jiang Xia and the others arrived - the magician wanted to "make Jiang Xia, this 'light bulb', a flash of light that illuminates his charm."
Subaru Okiya: “…” So that’s what you mean. This… Well, it’s only because Jiang Xia has a good temper that he is willing to think positively from the magician’s perspective after being plotted against like this. If it were someone else, the captain might have been killed that day.
…But then again, this idea seems somewhat familiar?
After a moment, Subaru Okiya remembered - when Jiang Xia was sprayed with smoke by that bad knitted hat on the plane before, he seemed to have experienced a similar mental journey.
If I remember correctly, not long after that, the man in the knitted hat who was very unfriendly to Jiang Xia suddenly died on the spot.
Okiya Subaru: "..." Why, why did you suddenly think of this? Don't think too much, the magician leader is still alive and well...
The thoughts in his mind began to stir wildly again. Subaru Okiya pressed his head and pressed his forehead, trying hard not to think of some strange and terrible thoughts.
Next to him, after listening to Jiang Xia's story, Inspector Yasa had some thoughts that overlapped with Okiya Subaru's: "Coincidence? But why do I feel that the bastard magician is playing tricks on you? As a magician, how could he not be able to distinguish between different hand gestures?"
Jiang Xia replied fluently as if he had memorized the answer: "It is indeed a bit strange, but what if he really was asking for help just now, and I was worried that he was playing a trick on me and refused to help, then he would be dead - losing a little face is better than losing a life."
Inspector Yasa: “……?”
...quite just?
He silently changed his sitting position, feeling a lot of emotion. For a moment, he felt that his previous prejudice against Jiang Xia might have been too severe.
——The detective’s previous actions were probably just to solve the case as quickly as possible, and he did not mean to disrespect the London police.
…
This interesting little episode was not taken seriously by many viewers.
The performance continued, and finally, the first half ended and it was time for a break.
Jiang Xia went backstage with others.
When he entered the magician's lounge, he saw Dongcheng Huanyang already sitting inside, recalling his classic performance.
Hearing Jiang Xia and the others approaching, the magician turned around and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry just now - it's just that I was lying on the steel knife bed at that time, and I suddenly wanted to test whether Mr. Detective was really paying attention to my gestures, in case something unexpected really happened and you didn't have time to react."
Yoko Kinoshita was also in the audience and saw what happened.
After all, she is a celebrity who started out as an idol and has experienced many ups and downs in the entertainment industry. Being on stage is as familiar as being at home, and she also sees the magician's intention.
