Chapter 1984 1992 [Subordinates of the King]
"After today, we will stop operating."
An old voice came from behind.
Jiang Xia turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard.
This person seemed to be the director of the cinema. His smiling face could not hide his sadness: "Today is also the 30th anniversary of the opening of this cinema."
Conan remembered something: "No wonder there are so many ladders, ropes and other things in the screening room."
"Haha, I'm so sorry." The old man touched the back of his head and apologized, "The construction company said that time was too tight, so it turned out like this."
The saleslady got angry when she mentioned this, and she couldn't help but interrupt: "They can obviously start the work tomorrow, but they insisted on moving those things in advance. I don't know what they are in such a hurry - even if they move the tools in advance, they still have to wait until tomorrow."
A gloomy voice came and continued her words in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, don't say that. I have been generous by allowing you to operate until today. If the buyer's boss hadn't asked me to wait until the anniversary of this cinema before starting construction, I would have demolished this place long ago."
Jiang Xia turned around following the sound and saw a middle-aged man who looked like a corporate slave.
This is the president of the real estate agency. He has a cigarette in his mouth, his eye sockets are sunken, there is darkness under his eyes, and he looks a little exhausted.
But when he saw the director and the salesperson looking angry but unable to speak, Zhang Tian Zhengci suddenly became more talkative, "You play Gomera Gomera every day, and that's all I know about Gomera. I really hope your sincerity can summon a real Gomera, and then go crazy and tear down this crappy cinema, then I can save some demolition fees, hahahahahaha."
“…”
The surroundings suddenly became silent. Both the theater employees and the regular customers turned their heads and looked at him with resentment in their eyes.
Even the projectionist backstage couldn't help but come out and said angrily: "No smoking in the cinema, don't let people remind you every time!"
Zhang Tian Zhengci sneered and spat the cigarette onto the ground. "I'm so sorry. I'll be more careful next time. Oops!" He suddenly slapped his forehead exaggeratedly. "I almost forgot. There won't be a next time. Starting tomorrow, this place will become a pile of rubble. Hahahahaha."
He entered the theater laughing.
Huiyuan Ai couldn't help but whispered: "...He really loves to laugh."
At the distant corner, a figure saw this scene and silently retracted his head.
…
To show her sincerity, Hashimoto Maya arrived here a little earlier and asked the agent when it would be convenient for them to meet.
Nearly half an hour later, the other party slowly replied, saying that he was busy watching a movie.
…You have time to watch movies but no time to sell restaurant ruins?
Hashimoto Maya's fists were clenched, but the instinct to guard against Uzo was ingrained in his bones, so he had to suppress his murderous intent and behave like a normal businessman.
So he followed the reply and found the cinema where Zhang Tian Zhengci was. As soon as he looked out, he heard Zhang Tian Zhengci's long and sarcastic speech and two strings of sinister laughter.
Of course, he also did not miss the deep gazes that the theater staff and audience members gave to Zhang Tian Zhengji.
“Is this the agent I’m looking for?”
Hashimoto Maya's heart began to tremble, and she prayed quietly: "The boy who loves to laugh will not have bad luck. God of Luck, please don't let Wu Zuo see Zhang Tian. This kind of person may not survive for more than half a day in Wu Zuo's hands - it doesn't matter how long he lives, but please sell the land to me before you die!"
Thinking of this, Maya Hashimoto wanted to rush over quickly and take the contract while the person was still alive.
But suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two familiar people out of the corner of his eye.
——Conan and Jiang Xia.
“…”
Hashimoto Maya paused for a moment.
It wasn't entirely because of the avoidance instinct he had developed some time ago, but because he suddenly realized...
"Since that sinister elementary school student is here too, maybe he is the one who lured Jiang Xia here. This cinema is probably already Wuzo's stage now."
Hashimoto Maya was sweating and thinking quickly: "If I go over now, will it disrupt Uzo's plan? But since Uzo has set his sights on this agent, he may have guessed that I would also appear nearby... So what script should I get this time? What role will I play in this murder drama?"
Maya Hashimoto was exhausted for a while.
The scariest thing is not being in a real-life murder play, nor is it suddenly finding yourself becoming a character in the play.
Instead, he knew that he was an actor and might even play an important role in the play, but he didn't get any scripts, and he didn't dare to mess up the play and offend the terrible director behind the scenes.
"Or I might as well just stay away from it. After all, if the agent dies, there will always be another one. Maybe the next one will be a good agent who does things efficiently and doesn't have so many problems."
Hashimoto Maya quietly turned a corner and said, "No, no, I can't. If there are some places in the script where I have to appear, and I clearly guess that this is the boss's intention, but I actively stay away... This is too unreasonable."
After thinking it over and over again, the floor under his feet was almost worn out by him. Finally, Hashimoto Maya had an idea. She remembered all the script knowledge she had learned and came up with an idea.
"I can participate in the script, but deliberately stay away from those key moments! - A case takes a long time to happen. I just need to quietly join in between two key points and withdraw after getting the contract. I can be like a behind-the-scenes staff member, participating in the script without leaving any traces. In this way, I will neither escape from my boss's script nor get involved in trouble."
The more Hashimoto Maya thought about it, the more she found it wonderful.
He stepped back and temporarily retreated outside the theater, then looked at his watch and calculated the right time to intrude.
…
Because Hashimoto Maya was agile and in a hidden position, she retreated decisively and her body moved before her brain could react, so Conan and the others did not notice that someone had hurriedly come and gone.
Huibara Ai seemed to have noticed something. She vigilantly took a step towards Jiang Xia, using his legs to shield herself, then turned her head and carefully glanced towards the corridor leading to the gate.
But nothing was found.
Haibara Ai took a sip of Coke in confusion: "..." I always felt like there was an organized aura over there, was it an illusion?
That's right, this cinema only has one screening room, and it's showing Gomera. Which organization member would have the time to come here and watch something like this?
As for the breath I just felt...
Maybe it was from Jiang Xia.
Haibara Ai used to be very sensitive to the organization's aura, but since she moved next door to Jiang Xia, her keen perception began to gradually deteriorate.
Thinking of this, Huibara Ai looked up at Jiang Xia, then looked at the empty corridor, and felt more and more that this was the case.
She took another sip of her Coke and thought no more about it.
