Chapter 1893 1901 [Just a Common Script]
When Jiang Xia heard the actress' words, he thought of the female leader who had indeed let out a lot of murderous intent just now, and thought thoughtfully: "If I had known this would happen, I should have praised her a few more times just now."
The actress looked at the innocent-looking detective and was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
She deliberately said it so bluntly, not only to vent her anger, but also to tease her younger brother. But she didn't expect the detective's reaction... to be different from what she imagined? Did he think she hadn't stirred up enough trouble?
Just as she was thinking, Jiang Xia seemed to realize that she had misunderstood: "I mean, I should have praised the leader a few more times just now, so as not to cause an argument."
The actress looked at this upright and peace-loving detective and slowly tilted her head: "..." Well, it tastes right this time.
Although I still feel it's a little strange, mature women never care about details.
The actress lifted her wide kimono sleeves, covered her lips and smiled, and continued what she had just said: "The main role played by the previous leader was gradually taken away by the beautiful Miss Hualien. So her temper became worse and worse, especially during rehearsals, she was very displeased with everyone.
"Today's story of "The Murderer in the Mirror" is actually adapted from the real interpersonal relationships in our troupe. Everyone hates that woman and wishes she would die sooner.
"So if one of us is destined to die, there's no night like tonight."
After saying that, she walked out holding her script, laughing softly, and soon disappeared in the corridor.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were frightened by her mysterious look. After the actress walked far away, they came to their senses and asked Jiang Xia in a low voice: "It feels like she knows something. Should we ask her?"
Jiang Xia sighed: "Of course, but based on my experience, these people tend to only say what they want to say. As for other clues, no matter how crucial they are, they won't reveal a single word."
After all, Conan has been a detective for a long time. Hearing this, he agreed with it and nodded heavily: "If these people could cooperate a little, maybe there wouldn't be so many murders."
Suzuki Sonoko glanced down at the mature child and couldn't help but knocked on the door: "The adults are talking about serious matters, children should not interrupt casually."
Conan's deep breath was immediately dissipated, and he silently covered his head: "..."
…
Although we are worried that a murder may occur, at this point, we can only believe that the police's defense is effective.
I don't know when light snow began to fall from the sky, and in this romantic snow, the premiere of "The Murderer in the Mirror" began.
Jiang Xia originally wanted to go backstage but was stopped by the crew members.
The actress explained: "This building is too old, and the stage is too small. There's no room for so many people backstage. You can just sit in the audience. It's not far from the stage anyway, so anyone can come and help if anything happens."
Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at her: "You seem to really hope that there is a murder here?"... She is indeed an actress who looks like a ghost, a true fellow.
"Of course, because if one of us has to die, then I can't think of a second person other than the leader." The actress smiled softly, "Why, do you think I'm cruel? But this is the karma that the woman created herself, and she should bear the consequences now."
After saying that, she walked towards the stage amidst a string of ghostly and ethereal laughter.
After the somewhat scary actress walked away, Suzuki Sonoko quietly poked her head out and came to Jiang Xia's side: "She shouldn't be acting in a mystery drama. If she were to film a supernatural movie, it would definitely be a hit."
Jiang Xia waved the business card in his hand: "I have exchanged contact information with her. If she really becomes famous, I will bring you to ask her for an autograph."
"Wow!" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up: Jiang Xia is worthy of her, so considerate and knows what she likes - although she had already asked for all the signatures in the troupe, the signatures before becoming famous and after becoming famous are different from each other. It will definitely be more commemorative when they are placed side by side.
Conan couldn't help but look up and glance over here: "..." Jiang Xia's movements of changing business cards were getting more and more smooth, so fast that he didn't even notice it at all...
…
The actress was not lying. The stage and the auditorium of this banquet hall were only a few meters apart. If something really happened, she could just run up in two strides.
Moreover, there are wine, food and seats in the auditorium... Although the waiter looked at the age of the people at their table and replaced the wine with juice, it is still much more comfortable to sit in the auditorium and watch the performance than to be squeezed in the backstage.
Soon, the show began.
A group of talented actors dressed in modern clothes came on stage one after another and began to act out the love, hatred and vengeance in the troupe.
Originally this was a pretty good show, but unfortunately a very ambitious police officer sneaked into the audience - Officer Sato got a copy of the script from somewhere. At this time, she was sitting next to Jiang Xia, whispering spoilers to him, trying to get Jiang Xia to predict at which stage the murderer would act before the murder happened.
“The background of this story is an old-fashioned family, and the whole story revolves around the issue of inheritance. There are six characters in the story - the most central one is the old lady who is the matriarch of the family and owns a huge fortune, and this is played by the female head of the group.
"And then there is her niece, Miss Hualian, who has been taking care of her. Because of her youth and beauty, the old woman envied her... Hmm? It's just like what the actress said, exactly like the situation in reality."
Although Jiang Xia really wanted to watch the drama, he also felt that a sunny, just detective should not let a murder happen just to watch the story.
So he had no choice but to patiently listen to Sato Miwako's spoilers, and took the initiative to pull her back on track when she strayed from the topic, so that he could finish the spoilers as soon as possible: "And then?"
Officer Sato flipped through the script: "In addition to the niece, the old woman also has an only daughter. She was kicked out by the old woman before, but she returned home in order to share the property."
"There is also a poor clown who was used by the old woman and whose business failed and who was left with a huge debt. There is also a puppeteer who was bullied by the old woman, and a novelist who wanted to join forces with the old woman's niece to take all the huge fortune for himself."
Jiang Xia shook his glass like the other guests around him, and then put the glass of juice down in a bored manner. "Then everyone wanted the old woman to die in order to get a larger share of the inheritance, and at the same time, they murdered each other to eliminate their competitors, which led to a series of murders."
"!" Sato Miwako was surprised, "How did you know? Did you also peek at the script?"
