Chapter 1783-1790 [Invitation to Belmode] Request for monthly pass ()
When we got to the island, it was still dark.
The three people who came across the sea yawned tiredly and went straight to the accommodation building, spread out their luggage and settled down.
It turns out that for three people hiding from unknown dangers, this island is indeed comfortable - there are a lot of necessary food reserves, there are fishing rods in the warehouse to catch fresh sea fish at any time, and the outlaws can also poach animals on the island and eat fresh barbecue. If someone who loves life comes here, maybe they will stay and don't want to leave.
However, for young people, there is a problem: the signal is too poor and they cannot use their mobile phones.
"We are on a mission after all, so it doesn't matter if you are bored. Just bear with it." Kurosawa Kazuma tried to calm down, "It won't be long anyway, and it will be over."
…
The other side.
After school, Jiang Xia went to Teitan Middle School before the club activities started and discussed with two classmates about going to the island to rehearse a drama.
Suzuki Sonoko became the general coordinator of this matter. She sat in a cafe near the school and sorted out the preparations with Jiang Xia and Mao Lilan:
"There's nothing to prepare on Mitajima Island. Although it's a bit old, the basic equipment is still usable. I heard that the maintenance workers go there once every month. The rest of the time there's only an old man guarding it. There should be a lot of people going there for rehearsal, so let's not bother the old man. The island has food and water in stock, as well as ready-made furniture. We can cook and eat our own food after we get there."
Jiang Xia nodded. He had been invited to a mountain villa owned by Suzuki's sister before. If I remember correctly, the villa was not only old, but also leaked when it rained. It was the murderer in that case who diligently patched the hole overnight. It can be seen that although the Suzuki family is very wealthy, the sisters do not have the habit of using servants to help them.
In fact, just as Jiang Xia thought, after Suzuki learned that they were going to the island, she originally wanted to inform the guard, but then she changed her mind and put the phone down again:
As far as I can remember, my sister's itinerary was always changed and delayed due to various unexpected accidents, especially when she traveled with Jiang Xia.
If she notified the old caretaker in advance and ended up standing him up, she would always feel guilty: she should just wait until her sister was about to arrive. Anyway, the caretaker didn't need to prepare anything in advance, just hand out the keys when someone arrived.
Moreover, the caretaker of the island is quite dedicated. Sister Suzuki is worried that if she says that, the caretaker will immediately run to clean the island in fear and trepidation, which would be too much work... It would be better to wait until her sister arrives on the island and let the students handle it themselves. After all, young people are energetic in doing anything and are not picky about the environment.
…
Suzuki Sonoko obviously knew her sister's character, so she didn't say much about the island, but planned her schedule carefully. "Besides, this is a play rehearsal after all, and we can't just figure it out on our own. If we ask for professional guidance, it'll feel like overkill. I wanted to ask Ito Tamanosuke for some help, but unfortunately two people from his troupe died and one was injured, and another was taken to the police station a few days ago. He doesn't have the energy to focus on things outside the crew for the time being."
As she spoke, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but sigh for her classmate's experience: after that incident, more than half of the troupe was killed or injured, and all the editors, financial staff and old actors were gone. It's unknown whether they can run the troupe again in the future. It's really heartbreaking to hear that Ito is only 17 years old and has to take over such a mess.
Jiang Xia came back to his senses and sighed like her.
But when it comes to acting, he quickly thought of someone.
Jiang Xia took a sip of coffee, chose his words, and began to try to attract people: "When I went to school that day, I met Dr. Shinde. After he knew that our class was going to perform a drama at the campus festival, he specifically told me that he used to be very good at this and said that he could come and give us some suggestions when he is free."
The school doctor of Teitan Junior High School, Tomoaki Aride, has now had his account successfully hacked by Vermouth.
Jiang Xia thought that the school was really boring, so she might as well try to invite this colleague to the island to play together. With Conan and Mao Lilan, her two favorite children, accompanying her, Vermouth would surely not refuse.
"Doctor Shinde." Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up, and she was very excited about this proposal: In her impression, he was also a handsome man, no matter how good his acting skills were, it would be pleasing to the eye to put him next to her. And he was also a doctor, if anyone on the island was unwell, Doctor Shinde would be able to come in handy immediately.
"I'll go to the infirmary to ask him tomorrow." Suzuki Sonoko said, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to be very familiar with the doctor, and Dr. Shinde often went to Mao Lilan's club to help them deal with minor injuries such as sprains. Obviously, he was more familiar with Mao Lilan, so she took Mao Lilan's arm and said, "Ran, come too!"
Mao Lilan smiled and nodded. She was rather timid. In fact, when she heard that the island was deserted and there was a century-old theater, she felt a little scared, but she was embarrassed to say it out loud and spoil her friends' fun.
Therefore, when it comes to inviting new doctors, Mao Lilan is very motivated: one more acquaintance means a greater sense of security, and it will be more fun for everyone to play together.
Jiang Xia was very satisfied with Suzuki Sonoko's sharpness: That's right, we must bring her along, so that the success rate will be higher.
Just as I was thinking with relief, I suddenly felt a faint gaze coming from the side.
When Jiang Xia turned around, he saw Conan's face full of resentment.
The elementary school student couldn't help but whisper to him: "Why bring that guy? It's better to hire a real doctor."
Jiang Xia: “…” Can you please change your jealous habit?
And just eat it, it doesn't seem murderous, what a waste...
"Bringing a doctor is too formal. It's so hard to find an acquaintance here, it would be nice to have some fun together." Jiang Xia patted his head, comforted him perfunctorily, and turned to drink coffee.
Across from me, Suzuki Sonoko added one person to the invitation list, and then thought, "Dr. Shinde may have performed in plays when he was in school, but times have changed now, and so many years have passed. If I rely on him alone, I may not be able to make my acting skills attract the whole audience... Ahem, I won't be able to improve my acting skills."
She said seriously: "In fact, I also contacted another foreign aid, a senior girl in the third year of high school. I met her at the sports venue when I was cheering for Xiaolan a while ago.
"I heard that she has been performing in various plays since elementary school, and joined the drama club in high school, but something bad happened in that drama club, so she quit the club to concentrate on her studies. But it's only been two years, so those skills must still be there. Fortunately, she contacted me this morning, so let's go to her school to find her!"
