Chapter 2707 2719 [Drawing Lucky Little Brother]
"Why not pick a lucky subordinate to pretend to be a psychic? In this way, as a superior, I can confidently intervene in the commissions my subordinates receive." Jiang Xia touched his chin and thought to himself, "It's a pity that there are no ghosts in this world. Even if I really want to develop in the direction of a psychic, I'm afraid I don't have enough opportunities to become famous... Forget it, let's talk about it when I have time."
Next to them, Officer Takagi introduced the four main members and then moved his finger to the last frame of the portrait.
"Ah, I remember now!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the middle-aged woman in cheongsam in the photo, "We talked about her on the train before, but before we had time to say anything, something happened to the head of the magic troupe."
When Hashimoto Maya heard this, her eyes immediately drifted over: "..." If I remember correctly, everyone was talking about "did this magic troupe have any tragedy a few years ago?" Could it be...
It turned out that Maya Hashimoto was right.
Officer Takagi looked at the short-haired woman in the cheongsam in the photo and said, "This is Reiko Kinmiya. The predecessor of the Fantasy Magic Troupe was actually called the Kinmiya Magic Troupe. This lady is the leader of the Kinmiya Magic Troupe and is also the undisputed pillar of the group. I heard that the magicians in the group now were all trained by her."
"Every magic trick she created was fantastic and wonderful. Even in that era when the media was not well developed, her reputation was well known in the magic circles at home and abroad... But unfortunately, she died in an accident during a magic rehearsal five years ago."
Thinking of the magic warm-up show they saw on the train, Officer Takagi felt a little regretful: "It is said that most of the magic performed by the Fantasy Magic Troupe were left behind by her - the apprentices she taught are all at this level. I really don't know what kind of wonderful performances we would be able to see if Miss Konnomiya was still alive."
"The magic left behind..." Conan suddenly remembered the puppet-like corpse, "I remember that apprentice magician sister said that the finale of their group was 'living puppets' - could this magic also be left behind by the deceased aunt?"
Officer Takagi shook his head: "I remember that the Fantasy Magic Group specifically advertised that the 'living puppet' was a magic they created that surpassed the level of Konnomiya Reiko.
"With this gimmick, they attracted countless audiences, and after watching the show, the audiences gave high praise to the 'living puppets'."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Really? I don't believe it. The term "living puppet" sounds weird, and it fits the "disappearance" that the Hell Puppet Master just performed.
"Although there is no evidence, I guess this 'living puppet' is probably a magic trick left by Reiko Konomiya, but was taken by those members without permission." Hashimoto Maya stroked his chin, guessing in his mind what the adult's script was this time:
"And the 'Hell Puppet Master' learned about this and decided to avenge Reiko Konomiya... In other words, my future colleague should have a close relationship with Reiko Konomiya."
"That..." Just as I was thinking, a cautious voice came from the side.
Everyone turned around and found that the person who came to talk to them was the "apprentice magician" they had just mentioned.
The chubby-faced young girl held the palm-sized puppet in her arms and smiled sweetly at them: "I'm here to tell you that after discussions within our magic troupe, we have finally decided to let the magic show go on as planned - if you have time, please go to the theater to watch it."
"Magic show?" Suzuki Sonoko was a little surprised, "But didn't your leader already..."
The trainee magician sighed and said, "There is actually some controversy among us, but now it seems that the majority of people support the performance."
…
The young girl lied.
In fact, it's not "slightly" controversial - where the magic troupe members are, "Mermaid Princess" has rolled up her sleeves and looks like she wants to punch the person opposite her into the wall.
"The captain's body is still warm, and you are going to perform magic?" The mermaid who is good at escaping from water has a good body of muscles. When she clenched her fists and shouted angrily, she looked very intimidating, "Do you really care about his life?"
Prince Xihuan laughed and said, "Don't worry, beautiful lady. It's because something happened to the leader that we have to perform tonight."
“Mermaid Princess” Xi Hai saw his serious tone and hesitated to ask: “What do you mean?”
The Western Fantasy Prince lifted his brown bangs and said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a magic troupe cannot be without a leader for a day. Since the original leader is dead, we must decide on a new leader as soon as possible. Tonight's performance is a perfect opportunity to decide who is better."
Mermaid: "You?!"
"However, there is actually no need to decide who is better, because everyone knows that no matter in terms of popularity or skills, I am now the well-deserved No. 1." As he spoke, the Western Prince walked sleekly to the door, and before the mermaid princess could react, he pushed the door open and walked out:
"Since a few years ago, this magic troupe filled with misfits has been supported by me. As the new head, I decided to let tonight's performance go on. What's the problem? I am thinking about the future of the entire magic troupe. Madam, please don't hold us back."
Having said that, Prince Xihuan slammed the door shut.
Almost at the same time, with a crack, a vase flew over like a cannonball and slammed into the place where he had just been.
Looking at the door with a hole in it and the porcelain fragments scattered beside the door, the other people in the room were silent for a moment and quietly reduced their presence.
…
Anyway, since the majority agreed, the magic show finally went on as normal.
This hotel has a long history and has a dedicated lakeside theater. Soon, as the performance time approached, guests crossed the wooden bridge and came to the theater.
Maya Hashimoto walked on the creaking old wooden bridge, looking at the guests in front of him who kept exclaiming in amazement, and couldn't help but snorted proudly: What kind of lakeside theater is this? It's far inferior to the Haixin Island Theater that he built.
While thinking, he also did not relax his observation of the surroundings - there must be a teacher among three people, so he should learn from others. He carefully looked at how other people built their underwater theaters, and then improved his own one when he returned.
Besides...his intuition told him that, considering that adult's love for the "stage", tonight's magic stage would probably not be simple.
