Chapter 2375 2387 [Kudo Shinichi·Enlargement Experience Card]
By coaxing a simple director, a certain FBI agent quickly got the role she wanted.
Judy remembered something and moved closer, whispering stealthily: "Remember to keep the change of the heroine a secret. If Xiaolan comes back in time, she will continue to perform." Don't let this come to Vermouth's eyes in advance.
In the past, Suzuki Sonoko would have thought this foreign teacher was a little strange, but now, she has already regarded the insightful teacher Judy as her confidant.
Suzuki Sonoko slapped her chest and said, "Don't worry! I'm a professional at keeping secrets. I'll tell them that Xiaolan is back and is putting on makeup backstage."
Judy nodded with satisfaction, and with the help of the director, she avoided the crowd and went backstage to change into her costume.
But after changing her clothes, she suddenly realized a problem.
Judy: “…”Where is Vermouth?
Why hasn't the woman disguised as a male school doctor arrived yet? Isn't she the male lead of this drama?
"Is it because I was hiding in the backstage and didn't notice her position?" Judy muttered to herself while contacting her colleagues who were at the venue, "Did you see the rotten apple?"
The colleague answered promptly and decisively: "No."
Judy: “…”
...Something's not right. The play is about to begin, but the male lead hasn't arrived yet?
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure she's not there?"
"Not sure." The colleague scratched the back of his head and lowered his voice, "I was only responsible for observing the girl's movements. Isn't 'Dr. Shinde' in charge of Mr. Akai?"
Judy remembered and said to herself, "I'll ask him."
Shuichi Akai is very reliable most of the time, especially when it comes to dealing with the Black Organization.
However, this time, the phone call Judy made kept ringing until it was automatically hung up and no one picked up the phone.
"?" Judy's heart, which had been calm, suddenly began to beat again: What happened? These two people were late at the same time and lost contact? ... Could they have died together in a place where no one could see them? This was not part of today's plan!
She paced back and forth anxiously, and suddenly thought that Akai Shuichi might be following her and it was inconvenient for her to speak, so she exited the dial-up page and sent an email instead.
After sending the message, I stared at the phone and waited, but still no response.
Judy: “…”
Damn it, what the hell happened over there?!
…
While Judy was staring at her phone and thinking about random things.
The men's locker room at the other end of the corridor.
A certain fake elementary school student was quietly staring at the slightly chaotic backstage at this moment, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.
At the end of his sight, a group of students from Class 2B were anxiously discussing something.
"Has Dr. Shinichi not arrived yet?" The students in the class sighed repeatedly. Some of them even thought of some of their detective classmates and speculated with experience, "Could it be that he was suddenly involved in a murder case on the way and couldn't get away?"
Suzuki Sonoko also had a headache: she didn't expect that when the drama she had rehearsed with great difficulty was about to begin, the two male and female leading actors would have problems at the same time.
The heroine is played by teacher Judy, but the hero...
"We have to find someone else to take his place." Suzuki Sonoko clenched her fist and looked at the other boys in the class, "Who will go?"
Everyone looked at each other and took a step back at the same time: "The male lead has too many lines, and they are all very difficult to remember. If it were normal times when we were all playing by ourselves in class, it would be fine, but now, there are so many audiences in the audience..."
If I had to perform on stage at the last minute and messed up the performance because I couldn't remember the script, I would be embarrassed in front of the whole school and even the whole Mihua.
A vein popped out on Suzuki Sonoko's forehead: "What do you mean by difficult to remember? Those are the exquisite lines I wrote carefully. Many people praise them!" - For example, her very tasteful teacher Judy!
"Right!" Suzuki Sonoko suddenly thought of an idea. She looked around but couldn't find Jiang Xia, so she took out her phone and planned to call him remotely. "Jiang Xia must be able to do it. He remembers things very quickly, and he has praised my script before..."
"No need to bother."
A calm but excited male voice interrupted her.
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned by the voice. She looked over as if she had seen a ghost: "???" Kudo? Wasn't this guy said to be out on a case? Why did he suddenly come back?
The others were not that familiar with Kudo Shinichi, and they were unable to tell his identity in the chaos.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a guy wearing knight armor with a helmet covering the upper half of his face standing at the door. He gave them a confident smile.
"Who are you and why are you wearing our costumes?" The classmates condemned him one after another.
But soon, a smart guy turned his eyes and thought of something: "Could it be...you want to play the leading role in place of Dr. Shinde?"
——That's great. As long as someone takes on the hot potato of "playing the leading actor", others won't have to go on stage and embarrass themselves!
At the door, Kudo Shinichi maintained a calm smile on his face, but cold sweat of embarrassment was already running down his back.
Conan used a temporary antidote to temporarily turn back into a high school student: "..." He didn't want to be so "familiar", but recently whenever he thought of the school festival, he couldn't help but imagine the sad scene of Dr. Shinde and Xiaolan acting on the same stage, turning the fake into real, getting closer and closer... and he could only watch silently behind them.
He knew that becoming bigger was risky, so he comforted himself in his heart and told himself to be patient. But just when he was about to prepare himself mentally, suddenly, Dr. Shinde stood up the others and gave up the throne of the leading actor.
"That school doctor is definitely not as simple as he seems." Kudo Shinichi nodded secretly in his heart, "A mere student's school festival should not be a big deal to him, so he will definitely prioritize his own affairs... Humph, luckily I've read a lot of scripts and have memorized the protagonist's lines a long time ago."
In short, this opportunity was rare, and Conan had been thinking about this role for a long time. When he came to his senses, his hands had already fed him the antidote, and his legs had already brought him here.
"It must be my intuition telling me that this is the most appropriate time to use it." Kudo Shinichi thought to himself guiltily, "Anonymous told me to use it at the right time, so this should also be the right time... probably."
…
Guilty feelings are temporary, but happiness seems to be long-lasting.
The other students did not express any objection to the role change, so soon Kudo Shinichi took the stage and became a happy male protagonist.
As he reviewed the lines and scenes in his mind, he couldn't help but imagine: Just now, when he passed by the women's locker room, he saw Xiaolan sitting there with her back to the door. That back view was so beautiful... I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xiaolan seems to have become more mature than before.
