Chapter 2460-2472 [Conan's Adventure]
"……theater?"
At one moment Conan thought that this was just Mrs. Sakihara's way of trying to please him, but at another moment he felt that there seemed to be another deeper meaning behind these words.
Mrs. Sakihara realized that she had said too much and stopped talking. She politely escorted Conan out the door.
Conan straightened his crooked collar and looked back at the closed door. He felt that a secret that had just come to light seemed to be closed again, ruthlessly shutting him out.
For a moment, he wanted to open his foot-strengthening shoes, kick the door open, and drag Mrs. Sakihara to ask her everything... However, before he could turn into an outlaw, Maori Kogoro, who had returned, had already picked him up and said, "You are running around again, come back with me!"
Conan couldn't overcome the uncle's strength and was unwilling to retreat.
On the way back in the car, he rethought every word and expression of Mrs. Sakihara.
Suddenly, the fake elementary school student looked up and asked Maori Kogoro: "Uncle, are there any famous theaters in Tokyo recently?"
"Theater? Why go to that kind of place? If you have that much time, you might as well go out for a few drinks." Maori Kogoro just wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol. "Alas, I was such a good student, how could I become like this..."
Mao Lilan did not ignore the spiritual demands of the elementary school students: "I know a few famous theaters..." But why did she add the sentence "recently"? Aren't theaters always famous? They are not disposable consumables that suddenly appeared recently.
After a brief reading comprehension, Mao Lilan felt that she understood: "You mean, there's a lot of noise recently, and the theater has been on the news?"
Conan nodded quickly.
Mao Lilan thought about it seriously and said, "I'm not sure either. The last theater that was on the news was the small theater that was rented by Ito Tamanosuke from our class."
Maori Kogoro, who was driving, suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, do you remember the Water Crystal Restaurant?"
"Of course." Maori Ran was still frightened: the criminal that time was obviously her father's friend, but he attacked everyone around Maori Kogoro along the way, and finally tricked a group of people into an underwater restaurant and detonated the building, causing everyone to almost die in the sea... Fortunately, the survivors managed to escape successfully, but the murderer was unfortunately stuck in the chaotic explosion and eventually died in the sea.
Maori Kogoro: "I heard that someone bought that piece of land and is currently developing it. I was free last time and asked around, and I learned that it seems to be built into a theater, and it is a replica of an old theater that is a bit old - three people died there, and the bodies have not been found yet. The buyer really doesn't mind bad luck."
When Maori Ran heard that a theater was going to be built in the center of the sea, she was originally quite excited, but when she heard Maori Kogoro mention the corpses in the ruins, she suddenly shrank back.
Conan felt like he had grasped something and noticed Ran Mouri's unusual movements. He quickly said, "Since the buyer was able to rebuild the theater, he must have spent a lot of money to clean up the ruins. This theater is no different from other haunted houses. Let's go and see it when it opens. A theater built in the middle of the sea..." A theater built on the ruins of a haunted house... It sounds like it fits that person's bad taste.
Although he still doesn't know the man's true identity and has never had direct contact with him, for some reason, Conan's intuition tells him that the theater may be able to give him the answer.
...But here comes the problem.
After returning home, Conan immediately found an excuse to sneak out of the door alone. He walked all the way to the seaside, and then looked at the busy ships coming and going on the sea, and fell into deep thought.
"When will this place be built?" Conan turned on the magnifying function of his glasses and looked at the theater, which had just taken shape. He was silent for a moment and became anxious for the first time for his enemy. "How can such a small number of ships be enough? Invest more money and hire more people! - Gin drives such an expensive antique car back and forth every day, and the transactions are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Such an organization must not be short of money. Why don't you invest more and do real work!"
As he muttered to himself, he took out his cell phone and took a picture of the company logo on the hull.
…
“A-choo!”
On the island, Maya Hashimoto, who was busy giving orders, rubbed her nose and sneezed.
He quickly walked away to avoid the dust from the construction. At this moment, his phone vibrated and he received an email.
Maya Hashimoto took out her cell phone and glanced at it casually.
Soon, he looked at this well-worded email with a puzzled look: "...applying for a legal advisor? Who said I'm hiring?"
He originally wanted to treat this as a random harassment email, but in a flash, a flash of thought struck him.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” and so on. Based on his experience during this period, any word related to “coincidence” cannot be ignored.
And if you think about it carefully, although there are a lot of harassing emails these days, there are not many emails saying they want to apply for a job - this will not fool anyone at all. It is more reliable to pretend to be a wealthy man with not much time left and randomly distribute inheritance than this.
"Since the scam is too low-end, then on the other hand, maybe it's true?" Hashimoto Maya thought, "But why did that person suddenly come to apply for a job at this theater that hasn't even opened yet?"
To be on the safe side, Maya Hashimoto decided to try contacting him first.
He picked out two familiar coffee shops and sent the address of one of them to the other party. He then planned to wait for the person to arrive and then immediately ask her to go to the second one, to prevent the woman who called herself Sakihara Megumi from making arrangements in the first coffee shop in advance and causing danger.
While waiting, Maya Hashimoto looked at the email address column, and a figure appeared in her mind.
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Although there is no evidence, since it involves the theater, he always feels that this applicant who suddenly appeared is related to his boss.
Theoretically speaking, as the person in charge of the Haixin Theater, he should send an email to his boss and ask politely.
However, in reality, her fingertips rubbed back and forth on the phone, and finally, Hashimoto Maya silently withdrew her hand.
"Or maybe just forget it."
Hashimoto Maya calmly analyzed in her mind: "If the applicant has nothing to do with Wu Zuo, then sending him a message is just looking for trouble and will only attract his attention - and if that person is really introduced by Mr. Wu Zuo. Maybe Wu Zuo didn't take this matter seriously at first, but my asking this question has aroused his interest again..."
Although she has been forced to surrender to Uzo and become his loyal subordinate, it is obvious that Hashimoto Maya is not able to relax at all.
