Chapter 0727: The Joke of the Muppet Show

Friday, August 13, noon.

Mori, Ran, Sonoko, Maidiko, and Yamazaki meet at the Mori Detective Agency and go to Tokyo Station. Mori learned yesterday that Ran was going to Asagiri Highlands and decided to give himself a holiday.

The five Mori took the Tokaido Shinkansen at Tokyo Station to Shin-Fuji Station in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and then Mori rented a car and took the four Yamazaki to the lakeside manor in Fujinomiya City.

On the way, the five Maori saw Conan and others frolicking by the water, stopped and asked, they lived in two small cottages nearby.

Gardens rented lakeside estate.

After Maori, Ran, and Sonoko put down their bags, Maori drove Yamazaki and the four people around, such as the Flower and Bird Garden, the pasture, and Jinma Falls, etc., and then went to Shin-Fuji Station to send Yamazaki and Midiko to the Shinkansen, while the three of them stayed in Fuji City and walked around, and solved dinner by the way. ……

On the other side, the small villa rented by Haibu Zhao.

Conan's ten-person glove puppet, under the leadership of Mitsuhiko and under the guidance of Hajime Umibe, rehearsed the drama under the constant provocation of the team led by Mitsuhiko.

After a day of getting along, Conan also figured out why Umibe Zhao was looking for them, because the last time the Junior Detective Group performed the drama Ichixiu Monk, Umibe Zhao also went to see it. Because its director and screenwriter is signed by Mitsuhiko, it is now led by Mitsuhiko.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mitsuhiko announced that it was time for dinner, causing a round of cheers, but he also announced that there would be only half an hour of rest after dinner, and then it would continue, causing a wail.

Shortly after dinner, Mitsuhiko prepares to ask Hajime Kaibe about the drama, but finds that he is gone, and at the same time discovers that there are only five people left in their class in the villa, himself, Motota, Conan, Ayumi and her friend Megumi, and the puppets are also missing five, and then tells the others about the discovery.

Yuan Tai said with some fear: "This, this is exactly the same as "And then everyone disappeared". ”

"So, the puppet show that is going to be performed this time has now come true. Mitsuhiko said in fear, "In the original work, when you kill someone, one of the puppets will disappear. ”

Xiao Hui said in horror: "Kill, kill one." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. "They're just going back to another villa." And then he said, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look." So saying, he went out the front door and looked at it, and found some footprints, the footprints of an adult and a few children, and then went back and told what he found.

"But how is this possible, will tell us this. Mitsuhiko said.

"By the way, you can call and ask. Ayumi said as she looked at the landline in the villa, then went to pick up the phone, only to find that there was no sound.

"No sound, impossible," Mitsuhiko said, "I've seen that Brother Kaibe has called before. Then he cried out, "I see, it must be the robber who broke through the empty door, who cut the telephone lines, and then took our companions away and locked them up, so that he could carry out his robber plan." ”

"Huh?" Conan straightened his triangular eyes, what is there to rob a low-level holiday villa like ours, and at night, it is too easy to recognize that there are people in the villa, and it is too hard to waste so much effort to kidnap people and carry out a robbery plan, and also take the puppets away?

Motota asked, "Mitsuhiko, are you talking about the robber in the news?"

Mitsuhiko said, "That's it, it must be like this. ”

Yuan Tai waved his hand excitedly and said, "Okay, let's let our junior detective group go out and arrest this robber." ”

Ayumi smiled: "Agree, the junior detective group is going to be dispatched again." ”

Xiaohui smiled happily: "Great, now you can see how you solved the incident." ”

"Alas!" Conan sighed helplessly.

"First of all, we searched the villa to see if there was anything suspicious. Motota said, "Conan, you and Mitsuhiko go upstairs, and the rest of us are downstairs." Ayumi, you and Megumi are in pairs, and I'm alone. Let's go!"

Conan and Mitsuhiko searched upstairs and found a toolbox with a simple topographic map inside.

"I see," Mitsuhiko said, "Umibe is the robber, and he brought us here to use us to help him cover up." ”

"Huh?" Conan straightened his triangular eyes, renting a car to take us from Tokyo for a day, car rental fees, accommodation fees, travel expenses plus food expenses, especially the Yuan Tai guy, is it enough to earn?

Mitsuhiko went downstairs with a toolbox to report his findings, only to find that the three of them were missing, as were their puppets.

"One, it must be the sea department, he arrested Yuan Tai and the three of them again. Mitsuhiko gritted his teeth and said, "Conan, we must get them back." Then he found that no one answered, and then he remembered that Conan didn't seem to go downstairs with him, and ran upstairs to find Conan, only to find that Conan was gone, so he ran downstairs to search in fear, and found that Conan's puppet was also missing.

"I'm the only one left. Mitsuhiko was so scared that tears came out of his eyes.

At this time, the lights of the villa went out, which frightened Mitsuhiko into a loud scream.

At the same time, a figure appeared at the door of the villa, "Now you're the only one left, Mitsuhiko." ”

"Hai, Kaibe!" exclaimed Mitsuhiko, "how could it be, how could this be!"

"Come here, come with me, Mitsuhiko. Umibe pushed open the door and said.

"Don't come, don't come. Mitsuhiko stepped back in fear.

"What are you afraid of, Mitsuhiko?" asked Umibe as he entered.

"yes, what I'm afraid of, what I'm afraid of. Mitsuhiko mustered up the courage to rush towards Kaibe Zhao and knocked him down at once, and when he was about to run away from the door, he found a group of people standing behind him, Yuan Tai and their nine children, and they were stunned for a moment, which made Yuan Tai and the others laugh.

"Excuse me, just kidding, Mitsuhiko. Umibe stood up with a smile.

"W-What the hell is going on?" Mitsuhiko had a bad premonition.

Yuan Tai smiled: "It's for you, the director, to experience first-hand what it means to be called "And Then Everyone Disappeared". ”

"What!" Mitsuhiko screamed angrily, though it was expected.

"That's what everybody meant," Umibe laughed.

"Everyone?" Mitsuhiko was taken aback.

"Me!" said Yuan Tai and the five children of the Children's Association raised their hands and smiled.

"Although I only learned about it later from Motota. Ayumi also raised her hand.

"Me too. Xiaohui smiled.

"I'm sorry, I guessed it when I saw them standing under a street lamp on the balcony waving to me with a puppet and signaling me to sneak out. Conan said, "I climbed down from the second floor, and then went and fetched my puppet while Mitsuhiko was on the second floor. ”

At this time, the lights of the villa came on.

"You ......," Mitsuhiko exclaimed in disappointment, "even Ayumi you...... It's too much!" he ran out crying, but was picked up by a maintenance worker.

"Let go of me. Mitsuhiko struggled.

"It's better for a small child not to run around at night. "The maintenance staff handed Mitsuhiko over to Hajime Umibe.

"Thank you. Umibe said, then put Mitsuhiko on the ground, and Masaseki said to Mitsuhiko, "Mitsuhiko, although it's wrong not to tell you about things, but if you tell you in advance, can you still have that feeling of 'and then I'm left alone'? ”

"This ......" Mitsuhiko was speechless.

"Actually, Mitsuhiko, you were so brave just now. Ayumi laughed.

"yes, yes. Xiaohui said.

"Is that so?" Mitsuhiko laughed embarrassedly.

"Alright, let's go to another villa first," Umibe said with a smile, "so that the maintenance master can get to work." ”

"Repair?" Conan asked.

The maintenance staff said with a smile: "Due to a big storm in the past two days, all the villas will have to be overhauled and maintained, and now it is your turn to make this villa." ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "What about the power outage just now?"

"The electric gate is closed and the line is being checked. ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "What about the phone?"

Umibe said, "It's really broken. ”

Mitsuhiko asked, "And the toolbox and the map?"

"I'm bringing the toolbox with me to make some sets for the evening so you can use them tomorrow. Umibe laughed, "Of course, the map was drawn for fear of getting lost. Then he smiled and asked, "Mitsuhiko, don't you suspect that I'm the robber who broke through the empty door?"

"No, no. Mitsuhiko said with a blushing face.

"That robber has been caught not long ago, so don't worry, play with confidence. The maintenance staff laughed.

"Caught?" asked Conan.

"He's such a bad guy. The maintenance worker laughed, "When he pried the door, he ran into a karate boy and was knocked down, and it is said that the boy was too dark-skinned and wearing black clothes, so he didn't see it." ”

The dark-skinned karate boy Could it be Kyogoku Shin? Wait a minute, Conan laughed in his heart, the place that was almost stolen couldn't be the uncle they rented?......

On the other side, Sonoko, who was shopping in Fuji City, received a call from the management office of Lake Tanuki Besso.

The three Maori knew that a robber wanted to steal from their place but was stopped by Kyogoku Shin without even priing open the door, so they immediately rushed back.

On the way, Yuan Zi used her mobile phone to inform Mei Daizi that she was not going to pick them up and asked them to take a taxi by herself.

After meeting with Kyogoku Shin at the management office of Takanko Besso and thanking him, Sonoko leaves Mori and Ran behind and goes for a walk with Kyogoku Ma, who is waiting for Midaiko to return. ……

In the evening, after finishing the first half of the work at the Meidai restaurant, Yamazaki and Midaiko went to Tokyo Station to take the Tokaido Main Line to Fuji Station in Fuji City, and then took a taxi to Bessho, which was rented by Sonoko. ……
