Chapter 1805 1812 [My stupid child]
"Do you know that there really is an opera freak hiding in this theater? He is quietly watching you in the darkness... Something terrible is bound to happen here!"
Haru Matsuzaki turned her back to the center of the stage, huddled in a corner with her arms around herself, and muttered to herself in fear. Behind her, the tall opera freak fell silently to the ground, the mask on his face was pale and terrifying.
It should have been a very scary scene, but because there was Suzuki Sonoko standing close by, holding a small notebook and taking notes seriously, Mao Lilan suddenly felt that the stage was much more normal.
She sat in the front row of the audience and whispered to Jiang Xia next to her: "So why are we performing The Phantom of the Opera at the campus festival?"
Jiang Xia also whispered: "Maybe it's because the atmosphere here is so suitable that everyone can't help it."
"Dr. Shinchu" sat next to them and glanced over here silently: "..." Can't everyone help it? Shouldn't this be replaced by you?
The Phantom of the Opera is a story from the last century. It tells the story of a deformed man who is proficient in music but ugly and hides in the theater. He teaches the beautiful and intelligent heroine carefully, making her famous overnight from a small role. But later the heroine falls in love with another person, and the Phantom becomes jealous and angry about this. He carries out a series of revenge and murders, and the heroine's feelings for him gradually change from trust to fear.
"Dr. Shinde" recalled these outlines and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "..." It's so suitable, this stage is so suitable. If I remember correctly, the murder and revenge in The Phantom of the Opera are not just once or twice. Now this peaceful atmosphere... How long can it last?
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from the stage.
Chikada Eimi looked at the short-haired senior who was teaching Suzuki Sonoko, and couldn't help but push her glasses and corrected her: "Matsuzaki-senpai, I think your scream just now was too flat, and you should actually scream more terrified. Although the actor who temporarily played the weirdo is your brother and you can't be scared, since you are acting now, you should treat him as a real weirdo."
Matsuzaki Haru was startled, then smiled and winked at her: "What's the matter, do you think I've been away from the drama club for too long and my acting skills are not good enough?"
"No, I just pointed out the shortcomings I saw." Eimi Konda lowered her head. "The scream you made just now was more like the scream of seeing an idol than fear. You were too relaxed and not in the right state at all."
"..." Matsuzaki Haru's smile became a little stiff. What made her even more angry was that her brother actually laughed beside her, as if he thought this metaphor was very funny.
When Suzuki Sonoko saw that the two foreign players had a conflict of opinion, she quickly tried to smooth things over. She said to Matsuzaki Haru, "Don't be angry. Eimi is just too serious. She doesn't have any bad intentions."
Then he said to Chikada Eimi: "Ms. Matsuzaki has just arrived on the island and hasn't gotten into the groove yet. But even so, I have learned a lot. I will continue to improve after I get into the groove!"
In the audience, Mao Lilan was also a little nervous. She clearly remembered how much Eimi Konda loved drama. She loved it so much that when she designed the serial attacks, she had to incorporate a lot of drama elements.
Thinking of this, Mao Lilan suddenly felt a little confused.
And she was obviously not the only one who was confused.
Conan stood on tiptoe and watched the scene on the stage. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Why did someone who loves drama so much quit the drama club in his first year of high school and never acted again?"
Jiang Xia: "Maybe something happened that forced her to quit?"
Conan's eyes lit up when he saw him speak: "What did you think of?"
Jiang Xia pondered: "For example, her parents think that acting in dramas takes up too much of her time and want her to concentrate on her studies? Or maybe she has a school she wants to apply to but is worried that she won't be admitted, so she has to reduce her spare time for studying."
Conan: "..." Who wants to hear this kind of thing! It should be something heavier, heavier... huh?
...If you think about it carefully, isn’t what Jiang Xia said very reasonable?
He was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, didn't Sonoko say, 'Some bad things happened in the drama club, so Eimi quit the drama club to concentrate on studying' - there must be something else behind this!"
"Doctor Shinde" listened to their discussion, turned his head and yawned quietly: "..." Uzo restrained himself from killing people in two consecutive cases, just to gather these two groups of high school students and college students who should have no intersection on the island. Judging from this incident alone, is there no hidden story behind it?
I wonder if Cool Guy realizes that this might be the beginning of a disaster.
Just as he was thinking about all sorts of things, suddenly, the little black-faced boy next to him came over: two of his three companions were hugging each other and being affectionate, and the other was teaching Suzuki Sonoko how to perform on the stage. He was lonely and bored alone, so he had to run over to play with the high school student.
Hearing a few high school students discussing this, the black-faced guy said "Oh" in a long voice: "What are you guessing? Why don't you ask me?"
Seeing several high school students turn their heads to look at him, the little black-faced man couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, and said reservedly: "I know what happened in the drama club!"
Conan was stunned for a moment: "You are also from Kuwagi High School?!"
"No." The dark-faced guy scratched his head, "But Xiaochun and Guihezi both graduated from there. I heard from Yayan that they also joined the drama club, but suddenly quit the club together in their senior year of high school - I heard that something bad happened in the drama club at that time. A female member with great potential suddenly jumped off the building and died."
"What a beauty with a tragic fate." At this point, the dark-faced man shook his head and said, "Although I have never met her, I have seen her several times when Masahiko went to visit Takako and Koharu. I heard that she was a pretty and cute school girl. She was so pretty that she was invited by talent scouts countless times since she was a child, but she never agreed because of her studies. Everyone in the agency said that she would become very popular after graduation and she wouldn't have to worry about future employment at all - but who knew that she would die before she even graduated."
Jiang Xia seemed to have the sense of a detective: "Could their withdrawal from the club be related to the member's suicide?"
The little black-faced man looked at him with disdain: "Do I even need to ask? There must be a connection!"
Conan leaned closer with interest: "Tell me more?"
The dark-faced guy slapped his thigh and said, "Jumping off a building is so scary! What's more, the person who died was a member I had been with day and night. If it were me, I would quit too, otherwise it would be so unlucky - I heard that after that incident, more than half of their members quit the club. Yayan was also there that day. He was so scared that he had nightmares even during his nap in the next few days. He suddenly jumped up in the middle of his sleep in the club activity room, which scared me too."
