Chapter 983 The end of the prince. Please give me your monthly ticketヽ(〃〃)~
Jiang Xia nodded approvingly: "In this case, we don't have to worry about the real sword for now - just pretend to be a staff member and reveal this news to the 'Prince' before the show starts. He will definitely have a big reaction. His vigilance will also increase accordingly."
"Okay!" Yuanshan Heye stood up, feeling that things were becoming interesting...well, no, the commission was becoming more promising.
But soon, she looked at Jiang Xia, then at herself, and said hesitantly: "We don't look like staff members like this..."
"Have you ever heard of this saying?" Jiang Xia smiled confidently, "Clothes make the man."
…
Three minutes later.
In the staff lounge.
"Found it." A middle-aged woman in her forties turned around from the closet, holding two sets of spare employee uniforms she had just found and handed them to Jiang Xia.
She looked at the young detective and smiled, "I never thought that Shimizu could actually ask you to come and investigate. I thought she only found that dark-skinned guy from Kansai."
"I just happened to be passing by here, and when I heard about this, I wanted to come over to help." Jiang Xia smiled, "This is a secret investigation, please keep it confidential for us."
"Don't worry!" The eldest sister patted her chest. "We are reliable adults and we always keep our mouths shut. From now on, you two are employees here."
…
It is true that clothes make the man.
Jiang Xia and Yuanshan Heye put on loose staff uniforms, pulled the brims of their hats down a little, and immediately blended in with the team of staff.
The two men quickly found "Prince" Robert's lounge.
But when I pushed the door open and looked inside, there was no one inside.
This was a development that Yuanshan Heye had never expected.
She was startled, and pressed the brim of her hat anxiously: "He's not here? Where did he go?"
"Look around. If you're lucky, you might run into him. Some artists just don't like staying in the green room because they think it's too stuffy."
As Jiang Xia spoke, he smelled the scent of murderous intent, and took Yuanshan and Ye to where Robert was "with good luck" as if nothing had happened.
——The murderous aura of this "prince" is actually a rare strawberry flavor. Mixing it with the murderous aura of vodka might create a brand new strawberry ice cream taste...
…
He wandered in the direction of Strawberry's murderous aura for a while.
Yuanshan Heye noticed a bunch of pink hair with sharp eyes. She gently tugged at Jiang Xia and whispered, "Over there!"
The two men looked at Robert's back from a distance and whispered their lines to each other.
Then he pretended to pass by and walked past.
…
In front of the lift.
Robert was facing the elevator, operating it with a clanging sound - this was also a very important prop in the masked play "The Triumph of Stupidity".
There are three main characters in "The Victory of Stupidity", and all three of them will die in the play.
The prince played by Robert will be stabbed through the heart with a sword by the minister.
Afterwards, the victorious minister would follow closely to the edge of the balcony, fall down, and fall to his death.
But this is a play after all, and the troupe can't really have an actor "fall to death" every time they perform it. At this time, a lift is used - the platform of the machine is secretly raised to the same height as the balcony, and when the minister falls from the air, he will fall onto the lift and be unharmed.
Robert held the pliers and wiped the sweat off his face.
He looked up at the elevator and breathed a long sigh of relief: Done.
…
Just about to leave.
But at this moment, two young staff members walked side by side on the side road.
The two were talking in low voices.
The man seemed very worried: "I just went to the prop room and found that what was on the shelf was not the retractable fake sword, but a real sword - isn't that the prop we will use for the official performance?"
"Don't mind your own business. The prop team must have changed the placement of the items." The woman patted his back and said with a big heart, "How could they use real swords? Wouldn't the prince be impaled? Hahahaha - don't worry, we won't have such a serious accident. We are all veterans."
The two people walked away talking and laughing.
Behind the scenes, Robert, who played the "Prince", had a changed expression.
“……”Real sword?
...Isn't that the sword that the "minister" was going to use to stab him? How did it become a real sword? I've never heard of the props team switching the positions of the real and fake swords!
If he makes a mistake, he will be the one who gets stabbed.
Robert couldn't feel at ease.
He stood up from the lift and ran quickly to the prop room.
…
In the corridor behind.
Yuanshan Heye secretly turned his head and glanced at Robert's receding back, then pressed the brim of his hat with a look of deep satisfaction.
Then he happily high-fived Jiang Xia: Done!
"Let's go, let's add fuel to the fire." Yuanshan Heye remembered Jiang Xia's plan, "Pretend to be a witness, reveal that the sword was set by Komazuka Hiroshi, so that they can be alert. If the people being targeted are alert enough, even if Komazuka Hiroshi wants to do something else later, it won't be so easy for him to succeed."
"Yeah." Jiang Xia glanced at the elevator next to him, retracted his gaze, and hurried to the prop room with Yuanshan and Ye.
…
When he arrived, Robert had already pulled out the long sword from the sword rack.
The sword shone brightly, and the tip of the sword was pressed back, but the sharp steel did not move at all.
This was indeed no longer the retractable dagger, but had become a real sharp sword with a sharp blade - if he, the prince, was stabbed by this thing, he would surely die on the spot.
When Robert thought of the scene at that time, he was immediately angry: "How do these people do things? How can they make such a mistake?!"
He angrily sheathed his sword, picked up the sword, and planned to find those fools who were in charge of the props to argue with them.
But at this moment, Robert suddenly remembered something and stopped.
"Wait." He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Compared to letting that bastard Yabuki get electrocuted to death on the lift, it's more natural to be stabbed to death by a sword! Even if someone investigates it later, it has nothing to do with me - I'm not the guy who mistook the real sword for a fake one."
As he spoke, Robert's eyes lit up, "That's right, Yabuki has long had his eyes on my role as the 'prince'. It's a pantomime anyway, so you can't hear the actors' voices. If I find an excuse to give him the role, he will definitely not refuse!"
"Then, the 'prince' who was stabbed to death by the sword would be him, hahaha! He would keep asking me to pay him back, it's just a small sum of money I borrowed from him, tui!"
Yuanshan Heye, who was eavesdropping at the door: "..."
Jiang Xia: “…”
…What a loud conspiracy.
But considering his big, fluffy ball of murderous aura... forget it, it's not a big deal.
…
Toyama and Ye had never expected that things would turn out like this.
——A potential murderer has not been solved yet, and now another one has appeared.
