Chapter 984 The strange murderous intent increased
Yuanshan and Ye stayed at the door for a short while.
At this time, in the prop room, Robert had already put the real sword back on the sword rack.
Then he ripped open his collar and began to take off his costume.
…
Outside the door, Jiang Xia gently patted Yuanshan and Ye.
Yuanshan and Ye came to their senses, and before Robert discovered them, they tiptoed out of the prop room door and turned into a side road.
Yuanshan Heye slowly came to her senses. This was completely different from what she had imagined as an "easy way to solve the problem". She grabbed Jiang Xia and said, "What should we do?"
Jiang Xia came back to his senses from the wonderful smell of murderous aura and revealed a serious expression:
"I have no choice but to remind that 'minister' again - we must let them know that someone wants to kill them, so that they can avoid being killed in the future."
"...Okay." Yuanshan Heye felt that he had a heavy responsibility - when he teamed up with Jiang Xia, he suddenly experienced the weight of being a detective.
…
Soon, the door of the prop room opened and closed.
Robert, who plays the "Prince", leaves from there.
Jiang Xia, Yuanshan and Ye followed quietly.
Robert was so proud of himself at the time that he didn't notice that there were two little tails hanging behind him.
He came to the door of Yabuki Atsushi's lounge, knocked on it, and walked in.
In this masked drama, "the minister and the prince were instigated by the king to die together, and when the king opened the wine to celebrate, he was poisoned to death by the minister's wine."
Atsushi Yabuki plays the role of the minister, which is also the least outstanding one among the three roles.
…
However, at this time, Yabuki Atsushi did not show humility when facing Robert, who was taller than him in the play - because he was rich and he was Robert's creditor.
"Mr. Yabuki, I really don't have enough money. Can you give me a few more months?"
Robert carefully picked up the prince's costume and handed it to Yabuki Atsushi like offering a treasure: "As interest, I am willing to give you the role of 'Prince' - I have always felt that you are very talented, but you just lack an opportunity to show it!"
He smiled humbly, but in his heart he was grinning: I don't know who made the mistake of using a fake sword for the duel. The fake sword that would shrink was replaced with a real sword that could pierce the heart. And in "The Victory of Foolishness", the prince died by being pierced by a sword.
In other words, whoever takes the role of "Prince" will be stabbed to death with a sword soon - goodbye, bastard creditor!
…
On the opposite side, Atsushi Yabuki frowned and looked at the "Prince's" costume for a while, which did not disappoint Robert's expectations.
He snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to take the clothes, and then threw his "minister's" clothes to Robert, saying alms: "I'll give you another month at most."
Robert's words just now, "all it lacks is an opportunity to show off," touched Yabuki Atsushi's heart.
——Anyway, masquerade is a kind of pantomime, and the characters all wear masks, so it is impossible to tell who is who on the stage.
When everything is over, the audience will definitely be surprised to see that the charming "prince" is actually him, Yabuki Atsushi.
…
Robert achieved his goal and left in a good mood, wearing the minister's costume.
Wait until he goes away.
In the corridor a few meters away, two heads popped out from the wall.
Jiang Xia and Yuanshan Heye looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Then they quietly came to the door of Yabuki Atsushi. Toyama Kazuha took a deep breath and planned to repeat the conversation just now about "the sword in the prop room has been replaced."
However, before he could open his mouth, a loud and cheerful laugh suddenly came from the room.
Yabuki Atsushi said to himself, "Great, great. Double happiness!"
Yuanshan and Ye happened to pass by the door.
She peeked into the room curiously, and saw the "poor man who was about to be killed" reaching into his bag and taking out a bottle of wine and a syringe filled with clear liquid.
Yuanshan Heye: “?”
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, Yabuki Atsushi tilted the red wine bottle over, pierced the cork with a syringe, and slowly dripped the liquid inside into it.
While dripping the drops, he muttered in relief: "Oh, my poison can even kill an elephant. Go to hell, you old bastard! Hahahaha!"
Yuanshan and Ye were stunned.
Jiang Xia took two steps and found that she didn't follow him, so he turned around and led her away to prevent Yabuki Atsushi from running into her when he went out.
…
After hiding in the corner, Yuanshan Heye finally came to his senses and said hesitantly, "...Is there really a curse?"
Jiang Xia was already very familiar with the detectives' lines. He shook his head in a low voice: "It's the curse of the human heart."
"Sigh." Yuanshan Heye sighed with him.
Even though she sighed, this young high school girl immediately stood up when she thought about someone being poisoned by "alcohol that can kill elephants".
Without Jiang Xia's instruction, she already understood and said, "Let's go to Komazuka Hiroshi's place! Fortunately, there are only three of us, and we're the last one, so it won't be a big problem. Well, probably..."
——Hiroshi Komazuka played the role of the king in "Foolish Victory". He happened to be an "old man" and was the easiest to be "poisoned". The person that Yabuki Atsushi wanted to poison should be him.
…
The two high school students guessed correctly: after injecting the poison, Yabuki Atsushi quickly took the bottle of poisoned wine and ran straight to Komazuka Hiroshi's lounge.
"Mr. Komazuka." The moment he entered the lounge, Yabuki Atsushi's sinister expression instantly turned into a humble smile.
He bowed and presented the exquisitely packaged red wine: "The show is about to start. Thanks to your guidance, I can get to where I am today. This small gift is not a token of respect. I hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation during the official performance later."
"Cooperation? Humph, are you worthy of cooperating with me? I really don't know which shameless bastard let a rich second-generation like you with no acting skills into the crew."
Komazuka Hiroshi was obviously quite harsh on Yabuki Atsushi. However, when he heard the sound of red wine swaying in the bottle, he couldn't help swallowing it - he had always been addicted to alcohol.
I was just about to accept this gift "reluctantly" and then pour myself a small cup to satisfy my craving.
But he just reached out.
Suddenly, a female voice came from outside the door. It sounded like a staff member: "Mr. Komazuka, the show is about to start. How are you preparing? Robert and Mr. Yabuki are both playing roles in this play for the first time. I would like to trouble you to guide them on the stage."
“……” Hiroshi Komazuka did not recognize this strange voice. He had to deal with various staff members frequently and had no time to remember the faces and voices of every little ant.
If it were any other time, and someone taught him to do something like this, he would probably slam the table on the spot.
But this time...the reminder sounded pretty cute.
And Komazuka Hiroshi just happened to feel a little guilty.
——A qualified actor should never drink before going on stage. He almost broke this important default rule because of his alcohol addiction and could not resist the temptation.
