Chapter 2642 2654 [Accident Rate of Magic Escape]
Vodka: “…” But there’s no need to elaborate on all this with a strange woman—what if this guy next door is a potential murderer, and seeing how smart and sharp he is, she decides to kill him first to eliminate the obstacle, then things will be troublesome.
Thinking of this, Vodka said stubbornly: "Not surprised? Do I look surprised?"
The beautiful woman sitting next to him raised a finger and shook it gently at him: "Your gaze is not on the magician, you are surprised because of something else - and this proves that Xinghe Dougo's appearance has no appeal to you... But you are a naive audience who is worried about him lying on the steel plate, which is really surprising."
Vodka's eyes twitched slightly: "..." Heh, woman, I advise you to stop thinking immediately. Otherwise, if a guy like you meets Uzo, you will either be caught and transformed into a detective, or you will have to burn your life to light up the stage - you don't want to be treated as a disposable prop at such a young age.
The magician who was happily saluting had no idea that some of the audience's attention was completely not on his hard work.
Fortunately, there are always people who support a wonderful performance. After Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were happy that the magician was not dead, they finally grasped the key point and discussed this wonderful scene: "It's amazing, it's like magic!"
Conan looked at Mao Lilan who was sincerely praising the magician, and couldn't help but speak softly:
"Magic? He just disguised himself as a woman and sneaked into the assistants, then took the opportunity to walk off the stage. As for the flying magic at the beginning, it was actually because there was a pull rod supporting the back of the stage - even if the audience guessed the technique, they would most likely guess that the magician's "flying" was because there was a wire hanging above his head.
"This way, everyone's eyes will be focused on the top of his head, and they will naturally ignore the lever behind him. The background cloth is black, so as long as a stick of the same color is extended from there, the audience below will not be able to see the end... Ouch!!"
With a bang, Suzuki Sonoko passed the people in the middle and punched Conan on the top of the head, muting the audio manually: "You little brat, you are talking so much just watching a magic trick - stop talking from now on, or I will ask Uncle Maori to confiscate all your mystery novels!"
Conan: “…”
Diagonally in front of the aisle, someone noticed the movement here and turned his head to look over here.
Then he suddenly retracted his head.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” Why are Jiang Xia and the others here too!
And that top-scoring elementary school student, and the Suzuki family's daughter who helped the evildoers...
"By the way, Suzuki Sonoko actually dared to hit that sinister brat on the head like that. Could it be that in Lord Usa's rules, Suzuki Sonoko's status is higher than Conan's?"
Hashimoto Maya tried hard to analyze her mysterious and dangerous workplace environment: "Or maybe this high school girl is just taking advantage of her boss's absence to secretly bully her future colleagues? Come to think of it, Conan is so young and has been involved in this situation. When he grows up, he may be a disaster again... Ahem, he may become the powerful successor of Lord Usa, and then Suzuki Sonoko will have no chance to knock him."
Thinking of this, even Hashimoto Maya couldn't help but feel itchy.
However, as an adult with a long-term vision and good at forbearance, Hashimoto Maya finally suppressed the urge to hit him on the head - what if? What if that kid really survived and happened to be particularly vindictive?
When Maya Hashimoto curled her fingers.
Next to him, James quietly looked at the suspicious person, then looked back silently across the gap between the seats.
James: “…” When Hashimoto Maya looked over there, she seemed to be startled... What was behind that could surprise the members of this organization?
At this glance, several familiar faces jumped into the eye: Jiang Xia, Mao Li Ran, and Suzuki Sonoko.
James had memorized the features of these high school students when they were traveling with Judy. Among them, Mao Lilan's face was the most unforgettable:
During the Teitan High School festival, he pretended to faint, hoping to delay Ran Mouri so that Judy would have the opportunity to pretend to be the heroine in the stage play... However, the kind-hearted Miss Mouri was too enthusiastic, and when she saw that he couldn't walk, she carried him to the hospital, and carried him all the way into the hospital under the various gazes of passers-by.
Thinking about the strange gazes coming from all directions at that time, the old gentleman couldn't help but move the tips of his leather shoes.
After an awkward moment, James took a deep breath, forced himself to forget those terrible and embarrassing experiences, and focused on the present.
"Hashimoto Maya seems to be a little afraid of Jiang Xia and the others... Come to think of it, this guy had previously applied for a position as a member of Jiang Xia's detective agency, but then suddenly left. Could it be that some of his actions aroused Jiang Xia's suspicion, so he temporarily left and backed down?"
"Jiang Xia's observation skills are really amazing. Xiuyi often praises him and his father. I heard that in the East, it is important for sons to inherit their fathers' business. Perhaps..."
This thought made James look at Jiang Xia with admiration: perhaps this kid could become an important partner of their FBI one day in the future, and play an important role in capturing Uzo and Vermouth, or even destroying the organization, and become an extra-staff trump card of their team.
People scattered throughout the auditorium had their own thoughts. The only innocent one was the magician on the stage who was still performing hard.
Soon the performance reached its climax. Assistants brought in a huge three-meter-high water tank and placed heavy curtains around it.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the magician put on heavy handcuffs with lead balls and climbed to the top of the tank using a ladder.
The assistant handcuffed him, and then the magician jumped down and submerged himself in the water tank.
Amid the bubbles splashed by the fall, the assistants also climbed to the top of the sink. They pulled up two sections of iron locks fixed to the ground, crossed them around the top of the sink, and locked the sink tightly.
"this……"
Mao Lilan looked at this scene, and her expression gradually became a little ugly. She whispered to two classmates: "Do you think this scene looks familiar?"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded nervously: "I heard you say that a magician drowned while performing an underwater escape..."
——When they were in England a while ago, Mao Lilan and Jiang Xia went to see a magic show that was touring the world. The magician, who was known for his bloody and treacherous performance style, unfortunately drowned in his own water tank because of the murderous hands of his colleagues.
Jiang Xia looked at the water tank on the stage and remembered: "..." It was the time when he went to pick up Okiya Subaru. At that time, he was only concerned with talking to his younger brother through a vest, and didn't pay attention to what was being performed on the stage. I didn't expect that there would be a similar performance today.
