Chapter 2709-2721 [Only Gin is working]
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko opened their eyes wide in surprise: "This is amazing, all the wires have been cut... How is this controlled?"
Conan came back to his senses and said casually: "Of course it's because there are other thin strings above its head that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Cutting those strings is just a psychological trick to make the audience mistakenly think that the puppet strings have been cut, but in fact..."
As he was speaking, Conan paused.
——The puppet actually picked up a rope and started skipping rope in public!
Suzuki Sonoko was amused and deliberately asked loudly: "Little ghost, what did you just say?"
Conan's eyes twitched slightly: "Then, the puppet thread may be from the palm part on the side of the puppet..."
As if it had heard his words, the puppet suddenly crossed its arms, swung the rope vigorously, and actually did a gorgeous X-shaped double jump.
Conan: “…”
...What the hell is going on with this puppet! Is it electric? ?
When Suzuki Sonoko saw his expression, she almost rolled over in her seat laughing - this naughty kid relied on how much he knew and would spoil the show as soon as he saw a magic trick. She had been holding back for a long time.
Now, Conan finally encountered a magic trick that he couldn't guess. Suzuki Sonoko was happy and urged him, "Hurry up, keep guessing."
Conan blushed and said, "...I don't understand. I'm just an elementary school student."
Every time this happened, he felt strangely grateful to Gin - if he was a high school student, this situation would be really embarrassing.
However, the elementary school student method sometimes doesn't work. Looking at Suzuki Sonoko who was questioning him, Conan's eyes twitched slightly, and he shamelessly used a trick to divert the blame: "Uncle Hashimoto, what do you think?"
Hashimoto Maya was lost in thought. Hearing this, he said numbly, "I don't understand. I'm just a medical enthusiast."
Conan: "..." This guy really has no baggage at all...
He turned and looked at Jiang Xia again.
This time, before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xia had already answered: "I don't understand, I'm just a psychic. If you insist on asking me how to do this, I can only let the soul get into the puppet and control its movement."
Conan: “…” He’s better at making up stories than I am… But the psychic who could control objects through the air just now was indeed very handsome. No wonder Jiang Xia suddenly had some associations.
Anyway, after all this mess of interruption, Suzuki Sonoko finally let him go.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked Jiang Xia, whose imagination was so rich that he led Suzuki Sonoko astray. Then he looked at the stage obediently and no longer expressed his opinions on the cracking techniques.
Under the gaze of everyone, the free puppet hummed loudly and rode the bicycle again.
However, too much joy turned into sorrow. It lost its balance and hit its head on the table. The whole puppet suddenly fell apart and turned into several large pieces scattered on the ground.
——This silenced the audience who speculated that "there was a real person hidden in the puppet suit", and they finally shut up like Conan.
On the stage, the puppet that had been broken into several pieces began to move anxiously: "Oh no! We have to put it back to its original state quickly."
Muttering to itself, it struggled to put itself back together. However, the funny thing was that in its panic, it put its two feet on its hands.
Looking at the puzzled puppet, the audience laughed in good-natured laughter.
Amidst the laughter, the puppet fell apart again. It put its hands and feet back together, then walked back to where it was at the beginning with its head down.
"I'm so tired." The puppet sighed, like an exhausted worker, and stood in front of the wooden stool, "Let me turn back into an ordinary puppet."
Almost at the same time, there was a buzz in the audience.
The familiar sound of a cell phone vibrating startled several people who were so absorbed in magic that they almost forgot about the case, waking up from a dream.
They suddenly turned their heads to look at Jiang Xia. After the two looked at each other, Jiang Xia took out the black and white mobile phone that was constantly vibrating in his pocket and pressed the answer button.
A familiar tone flowed out from the receiver: "How was it, are you satisfied with the magic tonight?"
"If I say I'm not satisfied..." Jiang Xia tapped his fingers happily on his knees, "will you give me another performance?"
Officer Sato was stunned at first, then nodded secretly: Jiang Xia is worthy of his name, he actually used the method of provocation so smoothly - as long as the hell puppeteer can't stand the provocation and goes on stage himself, they can rush up and capture him in one fell swoop!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the "Hell Puppet Master" on the other end of the phone chuckle: "Of course. The real show has just begun - this is a grand magic show that will be performed one after another, so please be sure to watch it carefully."
After saying that, there was a beep and the call was hung up.
"I'm so tired! I'm so tired!" the puppet on the stage suddenly shouted. Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, it fell backwards and sat down on the wooden bench.
The next moment, the light around suddenly disappeared, and the entire venue fell into a pitch-black darkness.
"Oh no!" Officer Sato stood up suddenly, "Is that guy trying to take this opportunity to escape?!"
She took out her cell phone, tried to turn on the flashlight, and chased after him on the stage.
But before the flashlight came on, a thick beam of light suddenly hit the stage.
Everyone instinctively followed the light and looked towards the stage.
After a brief period of adjustment, a scene that made their pupils shrink suddenly appeared before their eyes.
——The lights in the magic hall went dark and then lit up again, just for a few seconds. But during these few seconds, the puppet sitting on the chair suddenly transformed into a young man in court dress.
…The prince magician who was supposed to perform the finale of the “living puppet” show turned out to be the puppet himself.
The living "puppet" has its eyes wide open, its tall body squeezed on a narrow wooden bench, and is wrapped in thin puppet strings. The whole picture is weird and gloomy, but it is dotted with a touch of just the right bright color - a rose blooming on the heart of the corpse.
Against the backdrop of the white dress, the rose bud looked bright and juicy, and after a few seconds it really turned into a stream of blood, gushing down.
"...Blood, it's blood!!" The audience was stunned into silence by the horrifying sight. It took them several seconds to react. The venue was then filled with screams, "Someone's dead! Someone's dead!!"
…
Nearly a hundred meters away.
In the bushes.
Gin was thinking about how to approach the man in front of him quietly. At this moment, the venue suddenly became noisy, and the screams even drowned out the deafening music during the magic show.
...Now there was no need to think about it anymore. Gin took out a gun with a silencer and fired a shot, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Be more careful in your next life." Gin looked at the guy who was unwilling to fall, and came out from behind the tree, sneering, "Are you looking for your companion who is lying in ambush nearby? - Don't waste your energy, I will reunite you now."
