Chapter 15311539 [Who was knocking on the door before? ]
Yoko Kinoshita obviously had some opinions about the magician's handling of the matter: "These stage effects are best done by your own people. It's a bit too much to involve outsiders."
"Private detectives will do anything for money."
The magician wanted to say this.
But after looking at Kinoshita Yoko's face, he changed his words and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really just very uneasy, so I wanted to try it out - you see, there are so many audiences here, what if Mr. Jiang Xia is an introverted and timid person who is afraid of the stage and doesn't dare to step forward at the critical moment, then wouldn't I be dead? Is my life not worth more than him being laughed at by the audience once? Besides, those laughs are not mockery, they are praise for his courage."
Jiang Xia nodded: "That's true. For Inspector Yasa and I, face is not important. As long as the person is okay, that's fine."
Inspector Yasa: "..." Who said it's not important? It's very important!!
The magician laughed and said, "I didn't lie just now. The second half of the performance is indeed more thrilling than the first half. If I make a gesture for help, you must remember to..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged strong man with shoulder-length hair rushed in.
He said angrily: "Dongcheng, what the hell were you doing just now! The blood bag on the steel knife bed was added by you yourself! This is completely different from the performance script I wrote!"
"Of course it's different from your script, because it's my own script." The magician smiled and looked at him elegantly:
"Your stuff is too bland. Among all the magic shows, it's not memorable at all. But I'm different. I dare say my performance today will definitely become the talk of the town. Even the famous detective and... ahem, were fooled. You can hear how loud the laughter and cheers were. Pleasing the audience is the first priority. Don't you understand? This is the right path for magic."
Huihara Ai snorted in dissatisfaction: "It seems that Jiang Xia was not tricked up there by magic, but by the 'signal' that you abused."
"Signal?" The scriptwriter who came to ask for an explanation was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What signal?"
"Nothing." The magician did not intend to let other people in the group know about this. Except for his apprentice, he did feel that the other four main members were not very friendly to him - and the man in front of him, like the other four team members, was obviously not someone he trusted.
The magician looked at the script writer and calmly changed the subject: "So what do you want to say by breaking into my lounge?"
The long-haired man came back to his senses and waved his hands excitedly: "The effect we are pursuing should be to maintain gorgeousness and elegance in a tense atmosphere - but look at you! Screaming, blood, pretending that the magic trick failed... What a bunch of rubbish!"
The two people are from the same school, but the one who controls the entire group now is the magician, not the scriptwriter.
As the winner at that time, the magician turned a deaf ear to his chatter, sneered, and reached out to his apprentice.
The apprentice immediately understood, took out a transparent medicine bottle, poured out a capsule from it and handed it to him.
The magician swallowed the pill and raised his voice to interrupt the scriptwriter: "Brother Shoji, from now on, don't pursue anything gorgeous or elegant. What we want is a more exciting and more exciting performance - I will plan it myself."
The long-haired man was so angry that he jumped up and down, but there was nothing he could do: "Humph, whatever you want! But you'd better remember that your performance is not exciting at all, it's perverted! This magic troupe will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"
He walked out cursing and slammed the door.
As he walked away, the room quickly became quiet.
The magician smiled at the crowd and said, "I'm sorry to have made such a fool of myself. The second half of the show will begin soon. It's time to return to the audience seats. I will definitely bring you a magic show that will shock you."
…
Okiya Subaru was not sure whether the magic was shocking enough.
But as the second half of the performance began, he was met with a shocking enough questioning.
After asking countless questions, but all of them were blocked by Okiya Subaru, Conan realized that if he continued to ask questions in such a simple way, there would be no results.
He thought for a moment and half-guessed, half-lying, "Come to think of it, why were you hiding behind the Gothic Lolita clothing store?
“Are you the boss there?
"Also, I heard from Inspector Yassa that they were looking for a suspicious Asian man. The description of that man sounded a lot like you. What did you do to be targeted by the police?"
Subaru Okiya was slightly surprised: It was normal for Conan to know that he was wanted, but theoretically, no third person should know that he was hiding behind the store.
At that time, Jiang Xia and the police were confronting the murderer in the store, while Okiya Subaru was nervously hiding in the bedroom behind the Gothic Lolita clothing store. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. He thought the person standing outside the door was Usa, and almost wrote a suicide note on the spot... Fortunately, he later found out that the person who was peeping outside and knocking on the door was just Conan, a curious kid.
Subaru Okiya: "..." Was there some gap in the door, and Conan saw him when he peeked in from outside?
Next to him, Conan looked at Okiya Subaru's expression and realized that the person in the bedroom behind the store seemed to be this graduate student, not the "adult" behind the woman in black as he thought.
Realizing this, Conan sighed and was a little disappointed - not that he had any opinion on Subaru Okiya, but the recent actions of this graduate student did not seem like the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead, he looked like someone being targeted by the mastermind.
However, if the person in the door is not the mastermind, then Xiaolan and Jiang Xia have not yet come into contact with that dangerous person.
Thinking of this, Conan breathed a sigh of relief. He chatted, "Why did you suddenly knock on the door from the inside? You scared me. Did you mistake me for someone else?"
After saying that, he was about to observe Okiya Subaru's expression to see if he could find more useful information.
However, after seeing this, Conan was stunned.
——For some reason, Okiya Subaru’s expression suddenly became uglier than a dead person, as if he had said something insignificant.
Conan was confused, and after two seconds he hesitated and said, "What's wrong? Did I guess it right? - Who do you think was the one knocking on the door? Can you tell me?"
Okiya Subaru stared at him, cold sweat gradually dripping down his forehead.
He has been observing people's expressions for many years, so he knows very well that when Conan asked that question just now, he was not lying in the context.
——That is to say, when he was hiding in the bedroom behind the shop yesterday, the child did not knock on the door from outside.
…So who was the one knocking on the door outside? !
