Chapter 2015 2023 [Rum, are you okay? ]
Yasuyuki Murakawa noticed someone behind him and looked back.
Seeing Jiang Xia looking at the cylindrical iron cabin, he remembered that this was the guest the person in charge said he would receive.
So Murakawa Yasuyuki smiled, raised his hand and patted the top of the iron cabin, and introduced: "The top is the huge fish tank in the performance hall. This iron cabin is connected to the shell in the middle of the fish tank. When the mermaid appears on stage, she will first enter this iron cabin from the lounge, and then the hatch will close and start to fill with water."
The corner of Hashimoto Maya's eye twitched, and she didn't know what she was thinking about. She stared at the iron cabin with a complicated expression.
Yasuyuki Murakawa saw his expression and quickly explained: "It may sound scary, but this device is actually very safe. The water injection will stop when it reaches 80%, and the mermaids can breathe the air at the top before the shell opens - and look at this."
He gestured to the bottom of the iron cabin, where there were two extremely eye-catching buttons embedded in the wall, one red and one blue.
"Once this red button is pressed, the water injection operation will stop immediately, and pressing the blue button will quickly drain the water from the cabin - the authority here is higher than that of the control room. As long as the mermaid feels that she is not in a good condition, she can stop the performance and leave the iron cabin at any time."
Jiang Xia nodded: "You have been operating for so many years, so of course your professionalism and safety are guaranteed. I just haven't seen this kind of equipment before, so I took a closer look out of curiosity."
As he said this, he looked at Maya Hashimoto next to him.
Apparently noticing the strange expression on Hashimoto Maya's face, Jiang Xia raised his hand and patted the shoulder of this double younger brother, and explained to Murakawa Yasuyuki: "My colleague has been through a lot recently and has a strong sense of crisis. This is just his instinctive reaction, and he has no intention of questioning your safety facilities."
Hashimoto Maya nodded quickly and soon followed Jiang Xia away.
When he was leaving, he glanced in Jiang Xia's direction, and remembered the words "I've been through a lot lately", and his heart skipped a beat.
...Could it be that Jiang Xia noticed something?
...Being undercover next to a famous detective with keen observation skills is really not a job for humans.
Hashimoto Maya sighed and could only try his best to maintain his mediocre image as an assistant, praying that Jiang Xia would not come to him even if he found out something.
…
The show is almost about to begin.
Jiang Xia quickly met up with a few companions, and they went to the performance hall together.
"Why are there so many people?" Xun Zhengwan looked at the crowded place, not quite used to it. "Why didn't Miss Ozawa arrange VIP seats for us?"
Jiang Xia: "The stools here all look the same, and they don't sell tickets by seat. You can sit anywhere after you come in. There shouldn't be anything like VIP."
Xun Zhengwan: "Hmph, there's not even this little distinction. It seems this aquarium is just so-so." What a crappy place the famous detective chose. How perfunctory.
While the two were talking, Curacao quietly walked beside them and carefully chose an inconspicuous spot to sit down.
As soon as I sat down, someone sat down next to me.
Jiang Xia looked at the stage and said, "This is a good spot. You really know how to choose."
Curacao: "..." Go away! !
Hashimoto Maya: “…” The cunning Usa actually teamed up with other cadres to use the beauty trap.
Xun Zhengwan: “…” This should clearly be my position!
He originally wanted to ask Jiang Xia to give up his seat, but with so many people around, it would be too embarrassing to fight for a seat just for a woman - he didn't want to be a bootlicker, it should be others who licked him.
Mrs. Xun saw the depressed expression on his face and sighed: "Don't disturb other guests, sit down quickly."
Xun Zhengwan felt frustrated: "...Okay."
The group sat down quickly.
Not long after, the lights in the entire performance hall went out and it suddenly became dark. Only a beam of light fell in the middle and hit the huge water tank with a diameter of more than ten meters.
This cylindrical water tank was already exquisitely decorated, and with the careful lighting it now receives, its gorgeousness suddenly rises to a new level, as if it were a corner of the Dragon Palace.
The guests who were originally talking in low voices suddenly fell silent and looked over expectantly.
The music started, and soon, the shell in the center of the pool opened. A large bubble surged upward, and in these beautiful bubbles, the "mermaid" opened her cover and appeared in front of the audience, wearing a loose ancient Greek-style skirt.
——This seems to be the mermaid colleague that Michiko Osawa disliked. She used to have messy short hair, but now she is wearing a waist-length wig, and her whole temperament suddenly becomes much softer.
The mermaid swam in the pool, and the bright little fish in the fish tank were attracted by her and lined up behind her, like dragging a long tail.
Mrs. Xun was amazed when she saw this scene: "These fish are so obedient."
She happened to be sitting on the other side of Jiang Xia.
There were five of them in total. After Jiang Xia sat down, Xun Zhengwan didn't want to sit next to him. For some reason, Hashimoto Maya, who was supposed to be Jiang Xia's assistant, was also reluctant to get close. So Mrs. Xun sat down by herself - it was safer to be closer to Jiang Xia.
When Jiang Xia heard her words, he remembered that this lady was now his client, so he showed some professionalism and said casually: "The 'mermaid' is holding a small bag, which should contain smells or baits that attract fish. Some fish have good memories and will actively follow people after a few rehearsals. These fish should be veteran employees."
Mrs. Xun: “…”
Suddenly it wasn't so romantic anymore.
Next time, I'd better sit farther away from the detective.
The first mermaid to appear swam in the "sea" for a few minutes. Perhaps her breath-holding time was up, so she swam back to the huge shell.
As her body became still, countless small fish gathered in front of her, like a beautiful light curtain. At the last moment, the "mermaid" waved her hand to let the small fish scatter, bringing this magnificent performance to an end.
The audience cheered.
Curacao clapped his hands listlessly in order to pretend to be an ordinary citizen: To be fair, this performance was indeed good. But the person sitting next to her made her nervous and she had no time to appreciate it.
Curacao's heart rate was faster than usual. He always felt that something would go wrong in the next moment, and then some bloody stage and performance would be forced onto the stage, unreasonably covering up the beautiful performance that was currently going on.
However, there was no movement from Uzo's side for the time being, but Curacao's cell phone, which was placed against his leg, vibrated first.
She was startled, took out her cell phone and took a look, and found that the person who was looking for her was Rum.
Curacao's eyes twitched violently: "..." The situation is already chaotic enough, why are you meddling in it!
...But after all, he is my boss, I can't ignore him.
Curacao took a deep breath: Think about it optimistically, maybe Rum has other urgent tasks to call her and intends to transfer her away from this mission full of Uzo.
