Chapter 1894 1902 [Do you like this new script?]
Jiang Xia sighed, "Eighty percent of novels that start this way are written the same way. And there must be more than one murderer in the story. In the end, everyone kills each other, and various methods complement each other. In short, there are too many hidden murderous intentions in this scene, and it is difficult to tell where the murderer will strike. So if you want to avoid casualties, the only safe way is to stop the performance."
Sato Miwako realized that her plan was unlikely to succeed, and she sighed as he did: "No, look at the attitude of the leader. If anyone dares to stop, she will probably scold them from evening to morning... Alas, if everyone cooperated a little, there might not be so many murders in the world."
At this moment, as the actors on the stage moved and changed positions, a physical reflection suddenly passed across Conan's glasses.
He was startled, then he understood something, pushed his glasses, and smiled confidently: "I think I know where the murderous intention is hidden."
Jiang Xia glanced at him: "Hmm?"
Xiao Bai, who was lying on top of his head, also looked over and touched his chin: [Hmm?]
Conan was oblivious to the ghosts' gazes. He stood up and grabbed the ashtray on the table, making sure there was always something around him to kick. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
But when I think about it carefully, I still feel it is not safe.
So in order to prevent the murder from happening, Conan looked at Jiang Xia again and whispered, "Remember the scene of stabbing someone with a knife during the rehearsal? Once that scene starts, you rush forward and make sure the sword doesn't stab the female leader."
Jiang Xia glanced at the stage, seemed to understand something, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Miwako Sato was curious: "Why?"
Conan smiled a smile that could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Officer Sato: "..." This kid not only learned the detective's skills in solving cases, but also learned the detective's annoying qualities. Who is corrupting this kid? Of course, Jiang Xia is excluded first.
…
Although Conan seemed to have found the time when the "Red Bearded Santa Claus" was going to take action, Officer Sato flipped through the script and found that it was almost over. And now, the drama is just about to enter its climax.
So she didn't get too nervous, grabbed a snack on the table, took a bite, and looked towards the stage.
At this moment, another scene that the crew had rehearsed was being performed - a group of people gathered in the center of the hall, as if they were holding a small banquet, and Wen Yue Hua Lian walked onto the stage timidly, pushing a cart with a few glasses of red wine on it.
"The breath of death permeates this mansion." The female leader, the old lady who attracted everyone's hatred in the play, showed a sharp look that saw through everything. She sneered, "Your hearts are filled with ugly desires to kill. If one of us is about to die, then there is no night more suitable than tonight. Don't waste this extreme darkness - come on, let's drink!"
As she spoke, she picked up a glass of wine and smiled happily.
The other actors also came over with different expressions, each picked up a cup, and drank together.
In the audience.
Miwako Sato was flipping through the script and whispering to Jiang Xia: "This scene should be quite safe. The one being ambushed is not the character played by the female leader, but the 'clown' among them - this poor guy with the lowest sense of existence will drink the poison randomly placed in the wine glass by the murderer, and then die of poisoning, lifting the curtain on the entire serial murder case..."
Click——
The wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces of fluorescent light. The remaining red wine spilled out and flowed along the ground like a bright pool of blood.
This was indeed a poisoning scene - right after drinking, an actor covered her neck and shook as if she couldn't breathe. She struggled to take two steps, tripped over the sofa next to her, knelt down beside the sofa, and finally died in pain under the shocked and panicked gaze of the other actors.
This is the end of the first act.
The guests were stunned by the incredibly realistic acting.
There was a moment of dead silence, and then the audience erupted in cheers, mixed with voices of praise: "As expected of a veteran pillar, he acted so realistically! His reaction was exactly the same as that of my colleague who accidentally ingested potassium cyanide!... Come to think of it, it's a good thing that guy was too careless, otherwise I would have been the one poisoned, ahahahaha."
"And the first person to die was actually the old woman at the center of the vortex. What a bold innovation! I simply can't think of how the story will develop later, but one thing is certain, it will definitely be a refreshing plot!"
Suzuki Sonoko also clapped her hands: "This guy is quite capable, no wonder he has the confidence to yell at others backstage... Hmm? But is this the way the play is? I remember that the one who was 'poisoned' seemed to be someone else. Did they change the script?"
Miwako Sato was stunned and the script in her hand fell to the ground.
…The one who was supposed to “die” here was obviously the clown, but why is it that the female leader is lying on the ground now? ! Was that lifelike “death by poisoning” really just an acting performance?
Conan was also stunned, and the ashtray in his hand fell back onto the table with a thud: "..." Death trap... There is more than one? !
…
Backstage, three temporary prop masters huddled together, watching the scene silently.
Hashimoto Maya looked at this scene and muttered sleepwalkingly, "I knew he...she would definitely not be able to resist taking action after seeing this kind of rubbish script."
But on the other hand, the bad news was also very clear - that man...woman, he actually came.
Izuka Saburo deeply felt the heaviness in his companion's heart: "But on the other hand, our plan also worked completely - we predicted the actions of 'that thing'!"
Kurosawa Kazuma: "..." Two psychopaths. Shouldn't we first suspect the "red-bearded Santa Claus" at this time?
The man had scribbled bloody words on a whole wall in a big way and promised to kill someone in tonight's play. Now that he has done it, the two people next to him insist on ignoring the real murderer who sent the warning letter and insist on linking the crime to someone else.
...But one is stupid, and the other has been locked up for too long and may have become mentally distorted. A normal person shouldn't try to guess the Riddler's thoughts, as that will only drive them crazy.
Kurosawa and Ma quickly found a suitable explanation for the strange behavior of their two companions and stopped thinking about it.
He held the camera silently and continued filming: he couldn't interfere in other people's affairs, so he could only make sure that the three of them had sufficient alibis.
…
At this time, an actor on the stage finally reacted.
The playwright turned backstage and waved sharply at them.
Maya Hashimoto came to her senses, walked to the side, operated twice, and lowered the curtain.
