Chapter 2727-2739 [Shura Field]
The audience laughed in good faith. On the stage, as the "clown" finished his lines, the door on the rock slowly lowered, and finally clicked, completely closed, forming a perfect seal.
Hashimoto Maya: “…” I don’t know why, but I always felt that the glance just now was a farewell forever… Could it be that this magician in front of me can’t be saved?
"Forget it. This guy's magic skills are average, and his appearance is ordinary and doesn't meet the standards. It's not like he can pass Uzo's interview... Compared to this, what's the matter with this old man next to me?"
Hashimoto Maya pushed up her sunglasses and couldn't help but look to the side - a familiar-looking guy was sitting at the next seat. This old guy was holding a Coke and popcorn, wearing a casual suit, and looked like he was on vacation... However, Hashimoto Maya knew in her heart that this guy was definitely not enjoying magic and must have other intentions.
"I didn't expect that I would randomly choose a seat and end up sitting next to this FBI agent. Could he have chosen to sit next to me on purpose?" Hashimoto Maya felt regretful.
"If I had known this, I should have followed Jiang Xia to his place. Why did I have to use the excuse that I couldn't change my seat and insist on sitting here... Anyway, how did the FBI know which seat I booked? Has my whereabouts been exposed?"
"How did he know which seat I reserved? Have our actions been exposed?"
While Hashimoto Maya was secretly on guard, James next to him was not much calmer than him.
The FBI chief pushed his glasses up, looked at his neighbor in the reflection of his glasses with suspicion, and began to wonder if there was a mole around him.
"But it's not a big problem. A wise gentleman never falls into the same trap twice. I didn't carry a gun this time. Even if the other party shamelessly calls the police again, I won't be as passive as last time - isn't it normal for me, a foreign tourist, to come to Tokyo to watch a show?"
Thinking of this, James' expression relaxed slightly and he began to examine the magic on the stage again.
At the same time, there was another person who was secretly alert.
"Why are they sitting together again?" In the distance, Conan pushed up his glasses, and a flash of light flashed through the lenses. "There must be a conspiracy - is it because I called the police in time last time that the transaction between them could not be completed, so they had to continue?
"But that foreign old man was just arrested. Shouldn't he be more honest and stay out of the spotlight now? What's the reason for them to gather again so arrogantly? In addition, why did they choose the magic audience seat? What special meaning does this place have?"
As a detective, Conan keenly grasped the similarities between the two incidents and tried to use this as a clue to figure out what the two suspicious guys were trying to do.
…
Different from this group of fake audiences who were frequently distracted, the two female high school students seemed to be much more focused in appreciating the performance.
Suzuki Sonoko even caught the magician's eyes just now. She had a question mark on her forehead: "Did that guy just glance at us? What does he mean? Is he afraid that we will rush over and interrupt his magic?"
Mao Lilan sighed, thinking of the magician Xinghe Dougo who was imprisoned for murder. She touched her autograph book, and the signature of the star magician was still in front of her. Unfortunately, he could no longer perform: "We were indeed impulsive last time, but fortunately it was the finale magic, so it did not affect their process."
Suzuki Sonoko snorted, "It seems that this clown has also been following that magic show. No wonder I always feel that many of his behaviors are very familiar. In addition to Konomiya Reiko, this guy must have secretly learned the coolness of Hoshigawa Dougo... Wait, he can't think that Hoshigawa Dougo has so many fans because of these little tricks, right? It's obviously his face that counts!"
Although he disliked the shameless magician in front of him in every way, the clown's performance continued on the stage.
Under the gaze of the audience, the huge rock on the stage slowly floated up into the air just as the magician had said.
"It really flew up!" Suzuki Sonoko was amazed at first, then she came back to her senses. She cleared her throat and remained calm, "It must be a thin wire hanging from the head. There's nothing to be surprised about! Right, Jiang Xia."
Conan thought this sounded familiar, and he temporarily turned his gaze away from Maya Hashimoto and James and looked toward the stage. Given his previous experience, he began to wonder if this large rock floating in the air would suddenly stretch out two stone hands and start skipping rope... Fortunately, it didn't.
The stone just did as the magician said, with a bang, it burst into a burst of fire.
The flames grew more and more intense. At first there were only two or three scattered clumps, but soon they devoured the entire rock at an astonishing speed.
The huge rock was burning in the air. Hashimoto Maya looked up at the scene and suddenly recalled a conversation in her mind.
"The play I prepared for Mr. Clown has been suspended, but instead of me... it would be better if Reiko Konomiya herself could punish him."
"What punishment?"
"A flaming iron fist."
Hashimoto Maya: "..." Wait, can't it be...
“Ah! It’s hot! It’s so hot!!” Amid the roar of burning, a vague voice came from the rocks in mid-air. Someone was screaming hysterically and knocking frantically from the inside. “Open the door! Open the door! Is there anyone there? Open the door quickly!!”
In the audience, Suzuki Sonoko looked up at the scene in surprise: "I underestimated him. In terms of acting skills alone, this guy is much better than Xinghe Dougo. No wonder he emphasized that we should not rescue him. If he hadn't said that, I'm afraid I would really think that he was in trouble now."
Maya Hashimoto on the other side: “…” He just knew it… Alas, this magician couldn’t be saved after all.
but……
Waves of applause were heard, and Maya Hashimoto looked around, and found that the audience was pleased with the magician's "acting skills" - in the face of the horrific and miserable cries for help on the stage, no one offered a helping hand, only admiring glances were cast.
As everyone watched, the magician on the stage was engulfed by flames, and his cries for help became weaker and weaker until they finally disappeared.
A chill quietly rose in Hashimoto Maya's heart. He quietly clenched the cross in his hand and began to express his loyalty to the terrible Uzo in his heart.
In the strange atmosphere, the special "rock" quickly burned out, revealing a charred figure. The figure was covered in flames, and without the support of the rock, he fell down and hit the stage heavily.
The applause and laughter stopped abruptly.
The audience realized belatedly that something was wrong. Looking at the charred human figure on the stage, they suddenly screamed in fear: "Ah——!!"
