Chapter 1879 1887 [Uzo Airborne]
Beside him, Kurosawa Hema suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and looked at the two people opposite him suspiciously.
However, Hashimoto Maya had a righteous look on his face, while Izuka Saburo looked thoughtful, and it seemed that neither of them was saying anything bad about him in their hearts.
At this moment, Izuka Saburo's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a solution: "You know about dashcams, right?"
"Nonsense, everyone knows this." After Kurosawa Hema finished speaking, he suddenly understood, and he said with sudden enlightenment, "Just bring a camera to record our entire journey! - It's best to get an old-fashioned one that can't be photoshopped or modified. This way, the murderer will be hesitant and can frame someone else."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded slightly, with an indescribable tacit understanding.
Everything is ready, all that’s left is to escape.
"Right now, the search is strict around here, so it's safe here too. Let's wait for two more days until the police relax their vigilance and the search is relaxed around here, and then we'll set off. That's when the troupe will start performing."
…
The next day at noon.
Three high school students and a fake elementary school student were strolling in the commercial district, lamenting their poor classmate who had a tragic fate and whose whereabouts were unknown.
When checking out, she saw there was a raffle. Since she was already there, Mao Lilan trotted over and drew a prize.
"nail--"
The clerk rang the bell in his hand: "Special prize! Aphrodite group ticket, including food, accommodation and travel expenses - congratulations to this lady!"
"Theater troupe ticket package?" Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were startled, then smiled. "Just now we were thinking that after the incident with Ito's family's troupe, we had no place to rehearse the play, but now we have another opportunity to watch it in person - it seems that it is God's will that we can present a most exciting performance at the campus festival!"
Jiang Xia has only a general interest in the troupe.
But this is the troupe that Mao Lilan drew.
He was in a good mood and walked over to take a look at the ticket the staff handed to Mao Lilan: "The location is in Hokkaido? It's so far away."
Beside him, Conan touched his chin, a little hesitant: "But since we decided to participate in the campus festival, every time we encounter something related to the theater, something goes wrong - not to mention the crew of Ito's family, the theater on the deserted island, and even the catwalk that is slightly related to the stage, there are problems..."
Conan still remembers the word "stage" said by the woman in black who gave him the passport, and he also remembers the extremely frightened look on Subaru Okiya's face when he heard this word.
Now that he was chosen to join the theater troupe, Conan suddenly hesitated.
He first stared at the employee at the lottery counter for a long time, until he was staring at him with a puzzled look, then he lowered his head thoughtfully and searched for news about the Aphrodite Group on his mobile phone.
"Mystery drama?" This keyword startled Conan, and he turned the pages faster. Soon, a few lines of words jumped into his eyes.
"The latest mystery drama "The Murderer in the Mirror" premiered, with a brand new script, created by a senior screenwriter. It is a conspiracy that makes detectives helpless. Before the answer film is released, no one can find out the real murderer hiding in the shadows..."
The more Conan read, the tighter his brows furrowed, and finally he couldn't help but say: "The guy who wrote this slogan really underestimated the detective. Even if it was for traffic, he wouldn't say such unfair words.
"But it's really interesting. I wonder if they would be willing to admit defeat and take back this statement if a detective really came up with the answer before they performed the final chapter."
Jiang Xia listened quietly beside him.
Originally, he thought Conan would make some completely unfounded assumptions about "stage" and "theater troupe".
Unexpectedly, as he was talking, Conan's attention wandered.
At this moment, the mini detective clenched his fists, and his whole body seemed to be burning with fighting spirit. Soon, Conan pushed up his glasses and began to sincerely search through all the previous mystery dramas of the Aphrodite Group, in order to guess the other party's screenwriter's ideas in setting up puzzles... As for the stage, he had completely thrown it behind his mind.
Jiang Xia: “…” As expected, for a detective, compared with the mystery right in front of him, the organization has to take a back seat.
If an organizational cadre were to be thrown over to watch this scene, perhaps a special kind of murderous aura would be squeezed out.
However, "Uzo" is not Jiang Xia's main business after all. Instead of forgetting about it, Jiang Xia is more concerned about another thing at this time: seeing Conan's surging fighting spirit and energetic appearance, this trip should not be too boring.
It's really exciting.
Thanks to the lucky draw master Mao Lilan.
…
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko, two high school girls who love traveling, would certainly not miss such a travel opportunity.
What's more, this time, they had a more serious reason to travel: to observe and learn, and to prepare for the campus festival.
At first, Conan was wary of this free travel opportunity, always worried that there was some terrible conspiracy behind it.
But after seeing the arrogant propaganda wording of the Aphrodite Group, the detective became the one who was most anxious to set off: "Maybe those cases are just coincidences. And precisely because they hide secrets, we should go and find out. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
Now that these three people have gone, Jiang Xia will only want to go more.
So soon, the four high school students packed their luggage and embarked on this short journey to Hokkaido.
…
Hokkaido.
Yirenguan Hotel.
It was snowing heavily. In the white scenery that was very much in line with the style of Hokkaido, a group of guests dressed in different styles came to the hotel and entered expectantly, ready to attend the banquet before the play began.
A side door about ten meters away.
Three sneaky men in black covered their hats and scarves. Hashimoto Maya glanced at the guests entering the venue and was a little confused: "Why are they all dressed like this?"
——The guests who came to the drama dinner were obviously a group of Asians. But these guests were dressed in tuxedos, top hats, and canes. Some even dyed their hair and beards brown. It looked like a grand cosplay party.
Izuka Saburo was not surprised. "This time we're performing a mystery drama, so there are a lot of mystery fans and Sherlock Holmes fans here. It's a party anyway, so they just dress up as they like. Isn't this better? Guys in cosplay costumes are more attractive. In comparison, our mediocre trio will definitely be able to disappear without a hitch."
Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but glance at him: "..." Originally thought he was just a fool without a brain, but this guy was so resourceful in surviving, and had more strategies than herself.
...Maybe I can successfully avoid Uzo this time?
A glimmer of hope gradually rose in Maya Hashimoto's numb heart.
Relying on Saburo Izuka's connections, the three people found the prop master of the crew, passed the police barrier as temporary workers, and successfully sneaked into the hotel.
