Chapter 1830 1837 [New Ghost Wants to Reject]
Vermouth: “…” If someone who knew Uzo’s identity was here and saw him like this, they would have avoided this plague god long ago… But in the eyes of Uzo’s classmates, the situation is completely different?
Conan also remembered something: "Before, when my brother Kudo was following the suspect, he saw Jiang Xia in the cemetery. At that time, he was paying homage to his parents in front of the tomb, and his face also had this kind of look of wanting to find something but couldn't find it, confused and persistent. Although I don't know why, I think this must be very important to him... Maybe he is looking for the meaning of life?"
Vermouth: "..." Being seen by his classmates, it seems that Uzo has been to worship many times. Is his relationship with his parents really that deep?
Even if there is, what is the connection between that couple and this island?
Theater, parents, Uzo...
A few words kept circling in Belmore's mind, and suddenly they came together to form a creepy idea.
"Dr. Shinde" pushed his glasses silently and began to ponder: Could it be that Uzo's parents...actually died in his theater?
A control freak like Malvasia ended up dying miserably like a puppet in the hands of her own son?
...But at that time, Uzo was just a peripheral member who had no contact with the top leaders of the organization. He should not be able to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Vermouth looked at Jiang Xia inquiringly.
Then I saw Jiang Xia leaning on the railing with his chin in his hand, revealing a smile that seemed a little off.
“…”
Although, but...is it really true that he didn't do anything wrong in this matter?
Vermouth gradually began to feel that this matter could not be concluded lightly.
…
While a group of people were riding on a yacht, getting farther and farther away from the island.
In the old theater on the island.
Countless things like misty air currents gathered at the door and gradually turned into a blurry human figure.
The "man" seemed to be wrapped in a circle of translucent bandages, with two deep eye holes on his face. He stared at the sea, watching the existence that could threaten him drifting further and further away with the ship.
As a ghost, a spirit in the theater, it also vaguely sensed Jiang Xia's identity as a psychic.
It wanted to leave the island, but it didn't want to become someone else's subordinate and lose its freedom. So it lurked patiently, decided to conceal its existence, and quietly waited for the next wave of people to come to the island to bring a wonderful performance that would satisfy it.
Although something seemed to have gone wrong along the way, fortunately, the weird psychic ended up getting nothing and gave up and left.
And judging by what the psychic muttered before he left, he was planning on doing some complicated human drama to amuse himself on the island.
——Although the original intention of the cunning human was to destroy the endings of those stories to make it uncomfortable, but in fact, for it, even if it is just an incomplete drama, it makes the ghost happier than facing the boring sea every day.
...Humans who think they are smart but are actually being tricked, let's just wait and see what kind of show will unfold on this island next.
…
On the yacht.
Jiang Xia returned to the cabin. When he reached a place with signal, he opened the web page and started searching.
The mermaid looked curiously: [Water Crystal Restaurant?]
She remembered that this was an underwater restaurant built in the sea, not far from the land. It was blown up by the bartender who killed people by numbers and is still a ruin.
Jiang Xia confirmed the geographical location of the ruins in the sea, and said thoughtfully: "Although Mitajima is good, it is too far from Tokyo, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Besides the theater, there are no other attractions there. I can't use the excuse of "reviewing this case" to invite classmates to travel all the way to the island. And if I don't have any acquaintances, it will be meaningless for me to go alone with others.
"The most valuable thing on the island now is the theater. Instead of thinking about how to gather people to go there every day, it would be better to let 'Uzo' buy the island and the Crystal Water Restaurant. In this way, we only need to repair the ruins in the sea with the foundation laid, and then we can move the theater up there as it was.
"And since it's an earthbound spirit that follows the building, if you tear down the house and take it away, theoretically it will leave with it. If that doesn't work, then try to dig up the layer of soil underneath and take it with you."
"It just so happens that Sister Sonoko's interest in the island has almost shifted. After all, she is not a pervert who likes to collect crime scenes. The original site of the Water Crystal Restaurant was an isolated island in the water, and its owner is also willing to sell it.
"By moving the theater up there, the environment won't change much, so ghosts won't run away. And since it's close, there's even more reason to bring people there to play, just like going to the sea to relax."
A few ghosts: "..."
Although earthbound spirits cannot leave their original locations, after hearing what the psychic master said, this method of moving... seems very feasible?
After the ghosts gathered together and whispered for a long time, they did not raise any objections, so Jiang Xia quickly finalized the plan and prepared to use the fake Uzo identity of "Nitu" to buy the place and hand it over to Hashimoto Maya or Okiya Subaru to run it.
Anyway, these two places are not expensive, and he has a lot of money on hand - he hasn't spent even a fraction of the gold he dug from the boss's old house, and Jiang Xia is too lazy to ask the organization for reimbursement for this small amount of money.
...But on second thought, reimbursement might be able to squeeze some anger out of the hard-working model worker who is busy making money every day, so Jiang Xia silently decided to keep the contract and find a chance to give Gin a hard time.
Seeing that Jiang Xia was full of energy and was planning to build a theater park on the island, Matsuda Jinpei remembered something: [I heard that many people died in the Crystal Water Restaurant, and the bodies of the murderers are still stuck at the bottom of the water and have not been fished out yet. If someone uses this to promote... will there really be customers who dare to go to such a place.]
Jiang Xia thinks it's not a big problem: "There's nothing for Tokyo residents to be afraid of. And even if it's really a haunted house, it has its own unique selling points - those who want to use the place to shoot horror movies, those who love adventure, those who come for atmosphere and excitement... these are all very potential customers.
"In addition, for those who don't care about haunted houses and simply want to enjoy the scenery and relax on the sea, there is no need to worry about the source of customers. If it really doesn't work, can't we still rely on our connections? Ask Hashimoto Maya and Okiya Subaru if they have any acquaintances. If they do, invite those friends who have offended many people to the island for a tour. And add, 'Remember to bring Jiang Xia and his friends.'
"First, trigger more cases, so that the ghost in the theater can savor what it wants to see and experience the happiness of heaven. Then, find a random excuse to seal off the restaurant and prohibit anyone from approaching... If we continue like this, maybe it will realize the greatness of the psychic and show up on its own initiative?"
