Chapter 1588-1596 [Silver Wing Magician] Ask for monthly votes ()
Conan silently looked at the theater in front of him. His mind, which had been a little wavering just now, finally calmed down again: "..." In any case, they were obviously in London, but all the cases they had encountered along the way were actually related to people from Tokyo. This was too much of a coincidence.
Unless it can be explained in one way - "that adult" is based in Tokyo, so his methods of manipulating cases are most effective on the group of people traveling from Tokyo to London.
As he was thinking, Conan suddenly realized something and became alert: "..." Wait, does this mean that the troupe in front of him who is preparing for the performance in the venue may also encounter an accident soon? !
We must find a way to stop it!
Jiang Xia looked down at Conan's eyes and asked, "You want to sneak in?"
Conan nodded seriously: "I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling that something is going to happen here."
"You little brat, your words sound like a curse." Suzuki Sonoko, who was listening in, tapped him on the forehead with a finger, "Keep your voice down, or some hot-tempered staff member might hear you and beat you up."
Conan covered his head resentfully: "..." I'm not kidding, I'm serious!
Fortunately, there was a reliable teammate. Jiang Xia looked at the others and said, "Since we are here, why not go in and take a look? Maybe there will be a performance that we like."
…
A few people came to the door and originally wanted to sneak in to eat watermelons as they did in the past, but they were stopped before entering the building.
"I'm sorry, it's preparation time now, tourists are not allowed in." The security guard seemed to think they were fans of a star. "After the performance, we will have a short meet-and-greet. If you want an autograph, please wait patiently until then."
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and said, "Just now when I passed by the nearby parking lot, I seemed to see Miss Yoko's newly rented car there. Is she also in the building?"
The security guards looked at each other, unsure - they were just paid to do their job, not fans. Besides, celebrities would cover their faces when they came and went, even when they were abroad, so they really couldn't tell them apart.
However, at this moment, an assistant passing by behind the security guard heard the conversation here and suddenly stopped.
The assistant felt that the voice he just heard sounded familiar.
She retreated back to the door and curiously peeked out. When her eyes passed the two bodyguards blocking the door and fell on Jiang Xia, the assistant blurted out in surprise: "Jiang Xia?!"
Jiang Xia was startled, raised his head following the sound, and saw a rather unfamiliar face.
He didn't seem to know this woman.
The assistant was not surprised by this. She stepped closer with her high heels clicking, smiled and extended her hand, introducing herself: "I am Ms. Tajima Tenko's assistant, Ito Mieko."
Jiang Xia didn't know her, but the young assistant was impressed by Jiang Xia: this young detective not only had an admirable appearance, but also had a quick mind, and most importantly, was very caring - she had actually been following another veteran actor before, who had superb acting skills but a sharp tongue. One day on the set, the veteran actor suddenly fell to the ground in pain, holding his throat. She was so scared that she didn't know what to do, and it was Jiang Xia who rushed over from the next set to help with first aid.
Although it was a pity that the person could not be rescued in the end, Jiang Xia's calm look during the rescue was really touching.
The assistant came back to her senses from her pink bubble of memories and recalled what Jiang Xia had just said: "Do you have something to ask Miss Yoko?"
Jiang Xia nodded.
"Ms. Yoko is indeed here. I just heard her talking about you with Ms. Makiri." The assistant hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and made a decision. She planned to let Jiang Xia into the building quietly. She looked at the security guard and said, "Let them in. I know these people."
With the staff's guarantee, the security guards did not stop him. Moreover, they took a look at Jiang Xia's companions and found that these people were old and young, or frail girls, and none of them looked capable of fighting. Even if they were really thugs, they would not cause any trouble if they were allowed in, and it was very safe.
…
Jiang Xia successfully passed the access control and entered the building.
The group followed the enthusiastic assistant up the stairs to the second floor.
As I turned the corner, I saw two women approaching one after the other. One of them was Kinoshita Yoko, and the other was an elegant woman who was older but still beautiful.
Mao Lilan's eyes fell on that person, and she lit up. She was eager to touch her autograph book, while whispering to Jiang Xia and Suzuki Sonoko to share her joy:
"Ms. Makiri! It's really her!! I heard that she focuses on her acting career and rarely participates in events. Her autograph is hard to come by..." Following Jiang Xia, I can actually meet this rarely seen star. For fans, the life of a detective is too wonderful!
The star-chasing girl was very excited.
However, the person on the other side didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Maki Shuli frowned silently when he saw the young assistant coming up with a group of strangers.
The assistant was just happy to meet Jiang Xia, but when she saw Maki Shuri, she immediately became timid - everyone in the crew knew that Miss Maki Shuri had two different personalities on and off the screen. In front of the audience, she was graceful and elegant, with superb acting skills, but in private, she was very strict with her subordinates, and occasionally had some small thoughts, and was not easy to get along with.
The young assistant shrank to the side timidly, feeling that he might be scolded this time.
Makijuri was indeed about to ask.
But before she could speak, Kinoshita Yoko beside her took a few steps forward and recognized the people brought up by the assistant: "Jiang Xia!"
Maki Shuli: “…”Jiang Xia?
Is this the detective that Yoko Kinoshita has been recommending to her?
She followed Kinoshita Yoko's gaze and her eyes fell on Jiang Xia, who was half blocked by Dr. Agasa just now. She was slightly stunned.
After a moment, the woman's harsh and tense lips relaxed silently, revealing a gentle and bright smile.
Makuri walked up to Kinoshita Yoko and looked the young man up and down. "So you are Jiang Xia? It's true that heroes emerge from youth. You can become such a famous detective at this age. Yoko just mentioned you to me."
She smiled gracefully and said, "Come to think of it, I just happened to be in some trouble recently. Would you be willing to take on the commission and help me solve the problem?"
Next to her, Yoko Kinoshita was stunned for a moment.
She had heard Jiang Xia say that he was a fan of Makiri. Kinoshita Yoko also happened to know that Makiri would be in London recently, so she wanted to introduce Jiang Xia to him - actors often need private detectives, so this kind of introduction was justified.
However, in the conversation just now, Yoko Kinoshita found that Makuri seemed to be uninterested in this detective fan and did not respond to her topic much.
