Sunday, August 10, Maori Detective Agency.

At around 10 a.m., Mori came over, said hello to Yamazaki and went to the Metropolitan Police Department to report. ……

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Miyamoto's house.

Mei Daiko, who had just had breakfast and lunch, called Minghime, "Sister, is that mountaineering club at Rice Flower University from my invincible beautiful girl club?"

"Yes, the Rice Flower University Mountaineering Club is our club, and it is part of the Rice Flower University Tourism Club under the Ministry of Tourism. "It's rare for a mountain disaster to happen, but no one can stop it from happening." The last accident, they encountered in an expedition mountaineering organized by themselves, that is, to climb the mountain in a sparse place with smoke, we do not advocate this kind of thing, but we do not stop them, and we can't stop them, they are all adults, whether it is right or wrong, all the responsibility is borne by themselves. For rescue work, we supplied two helicopters. ”

"How do you know what I'm going to ask?" asked Midaiko, confused, "It's not in the morning paper?"

"The police informed the school side this morning, and I know it from the school side. Mingji smiled, "And this morning's news flash is also on the air." ”

"I see. Midaiko asked, "And what about the bad guy?"

"Do you mean the deceased, Mr. Yoshiro Ikuta? As far as I know, it is true that he abandoned Miss Keiko Toda, who had injured her foot and had difficulty moving in the disaster, but when the catastrophe was imminent, no one could blame anyone for their survival. After all, if you take Miss Keiko with you, there is a possibility that neither of you will be able to see the rescue team. However, Mr. Ikuta's perception of this incident is a little different from what Mr. Koji Takeno said, and the report of the psychologist points out that in Mr. Ikuta's heart, he also feels guilty about abandoning Miss Toda in the mountain disaster, which may lead to the death of Miss Toda. So I just downgraded him. "He said that kind of thing, it's just an excuse for the wrong things in the past." The louder he spoke, the more he laughed, which just showed that Mr. Ikuta cared. And he had never said such things in front of Mr. Takeno, which also showed that he cared about Mr. Takeno's feelings. He stayed in the mountaineering club and stayed with the frustrated Mr. Takeno, probably to help Mr. Takeno get out of his frustration, and to some extent, it was also a kind of atonement. ”

Mei Daiko said, "In this way, he is not a bad person. ”

"What other questions, my president?" asked Akihime with a smile.

"It's gone. Mei Daiko smiled, "Goodbye, sister." ”

"Bye-bye. Mingji smiled. ……

Noon, Maori Detective Agency.

Soon after Yamazaki, who had gone home for lunch, came over, a client came to the door. The client wore glasses, long hair and some beard, and looked to be thirty-seven or eight years old.

The client was surprised by Yamazaki and Ran's age, and automatically ignored Conan's age and asked, "Excuse me, is this a Maori detective agency?"

"Yes, Uncle Maori went to the Metropolitan Police Department to do some business, I am his assistant Yamazaki, if you have any questions, you can tell me first. Yamazaki said, "You may be seated." ”

"Since Mr. Maori is not here, then I will not sit. The client said, "My name is Kazuo Motoki, and I am the president and director of the Motoki Stage Theater Club, and our club is currently rehearsing at the Rice Flower Art Theater, so I don't have much time, so please ask the Maori detective to come to the Rice Flower Art Theater when he comes back, can you?"

"Of course, that's fine. Yamazaki said.

Not long after Kazuo Motoki left, Mori returned, and after leaving a note for Ran and Conan, who had gone out to buy something, he took Yamazaki to the Rice Flower Art Theater.

Soon after, Ran and Conan returned, and Ran read the note and complained, "Oh yes, I still want to see a rehearsal." ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time an old voice asked, "What is the rehearsal?"

When Lan and Conan looked at it, it was an old gentleman with a beard that had grown to his chest knocking on the door that had nothing to do with it. This old gentleman's hair and eyebrows are all white, and his shou eyebrows are more than five centimeters, but his face is ruddy and he looks very energetic.

Lan asked, "Excuse me, are you here for my father, the Maori detective?"

"Yes, but I'm not here to commission it. The old gentleman walked in and looked around, and said with a smile, "I'm here to see my apprentice who has been active lately." ”

"Apprentice?" Lan asked in surprise, "Are you Mr. Heihachiro Shiota?"

Heihachiro Shiota and Conan wondered in surprise that it was the legendary detective, Japan's Sherlock Holmes.

"Yes, this office is not bad. Heihachiro Shiota smiled, and then said to Lan, "Your father used to be a fool, whether he was a criminal police officer or a detective, he often asked me, the old man, to help him deal with the aftermath. However, this time has become famous, so come and have a look. ”

Isn't it going to be seen, is it? Conan felt a little headache.

"Please take a seat, my dad has gone to the Rice Flower Art Theater to deal with the commission. Lan said.

"The commission of the Rice Flower Art Theater?" Heihachiro Shiota's eyes lit up, "It seems that someone is in danger, and this can't be ignored." With that, he left.

Lan and Conan followed, and Conan thought to himself, great, now you can see the reasoning of the legendary detective. ……

On the other side, the Rice Flower Art Theater.

Mori, who has already recognized the main members of the drama club, holds a threatening letter and sits in the audience in the front row of the middle, talking with Kazuo Motoki, with Yamazaki in the front row on the left.

"Mr. Motoki, I say stop the performance immediately, or you will see a terrible tragedy. Apparently it was for your drama club, and the words should have been cut from the newspaper and pasted on, in other words, the person who wrote this letter was afraid that you would recognize the handwriting, that is, Mr. Motoki, the person who wrote this letter is likely to be someone you are familiar with. Maori asked, "Do you have any impressions of that?"

"How could I possibly have it. Mr. Motoki said, and then shouted to the stage, "Shoko is not well yet, when will the rehearsal begin?"

The male member of the set, A, said: "She doesn't seem to be in that mood yet. ”

"Damn, it's just that she picked up a TV series and just became popular on TV, so she started to put on a show. Motoki said to the man, and then said to Mori, "Detective Mori, although I think it's a prank, everyone is still very worried, so please investigate." Don't get in the way of our rehearsals, though. ”

"Really, I'm just looking for psychological comfort. Maori said angrily.

"That's it. Conan's voice appeared behind Maori.

Maori hurriedly looked back and found that it was Lan and Conan, so he asked, "Why are you here, did you stay at home?"

"People want to see stage plays, too. Lan said, then smiled, "Besides, it was your master who brought us here, Dad." ”

"My master?" said Maori, who was taken aback, jumped up and shouted, "No, no, isn't it?

Conan said, "Mr. Shiota disappeared as soon as he arrived. ”

Looking at Maori's appearance, Lan was puzzled, but just as she was about to ask, a woman's scream came from the backstage.

"I knew it. Mori hurriedly ran to the stairs on the left, Conan and Ran hurriedly followed, and Yamazaki also passed.

Moments later, Mori went backstage and found Shoko Oide in the lounge, where Shoko Oide was behind Heihachiro Shiota and used her arms to lock her throat at Heihachiro Shiota.

Maori shouted, "Master, what are you doing in this place?" ”

Shoko Oide said angrily: "Just now, this stinky old man suddenly came in and touched my buttocks. ”

Heihachiro Shiota begged for mercy: "Just spare me, you see I'm this old and can't live for a few years." ”

"......" Lan and Conan were speechless, and at the same time sweated down.

"This old man. Shoko Oide pushed Heihachiro Shiota to the side.

Hitomi Sasaki, an economist, came over and asked, "What's the matter, Miss Shoko, is there any problem?"

"I can't stand it anymore," said Shoko Oide, "everyone here is against me, and the most outrageous thing is that bad director, when will it be my turn to be an actor like me to guide me in the act." Other than that, what is it if you want me to partner with my boyfriend who broke up? Then he shouted to the onlookers who were in front of the door, "Get out of the way." He said and left the crowd that had separated.

"What's going on," Mori shouted to Heihachiro Shiota who got up immediately, "and you show up when you appear, and disturb my work when you come." ”

"That actress isn't good yet. Heihachiro Shiota replied to the question.

"What?" Maori froze.

Heihachiro Shiota continued, "The buttocks are the treasure mine of life, and I can know the person's lifestyle with just a little touch. As he spoke, he handed a paw to Lan's body.

"Ahh

This guy can't be here for this, is he? Is he really a legendary detective? Conan felt heartbroken.

"It's nice to be alive. Heihachiro Shiota smiled and pulled Mori in front of him. However, he found a right hand sticking out from behind him, and the palm turned out to block between Maori's face and Ran's feet.

Seeing that the palm of his hand did not move at all, Heihachiro Shiota was taken aback, and when he looked back, he found that it was a young man with an ordinary face.

Heihachiro Shiota closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them in surprise, looked at Yamazaki again, then closed his eyes again, and then opened them with a frown.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Heihachiro Shiota. Yamazaki withdrew his hand and smiled, "My name is Yamazaki, Uncle Maori's assistant." ”

"Master!" Maori exclaimed as he looked at Shiota Heihachiro face to face and gritted his teeth.

"Don't be angry. Heihachiro Shiota smiled, "Only those who are calm can live a long time." ”

"Peaceful?" Mori felt like he was about to burst his blood vessels, but just as he was about to say more about Heihachiro Shiota, Kazuo Motoki came over and asked the members of the theater club to hurry back to work, and Shoko Oide was willing to act.

Heihachiro Shiota slipped through the crowd while Mori was distracted, and Mori had to let him go, let Yamazaki go to see him, and then began his own work, first inspecting the props. Lan and Conan watched the set of the members at the backstage.

Yamazaki watched Heihachiro Shiota sit down in the front row in the middle and took the front seat on the left side where he had been sitting.

Lan watched the members of the club put adhesive tape on the stage and asked female member A, "What are you doing?"

"It's for positioning. Female member A said, "It's actually fluorescent, but now the lights are turned on, and I can't see it." ”

"That's how we decide where we want to be on the show. Female member B said.

At this time, the sound of the prop master Kan Shunichi and Hitomi Sasaki talking came from the top of the stage, and Conan ran over, and Ran had to follow.

Guan Shunyi said: "What are you doing, you layman don't interfere." ”

"I'm not trying to interfere, I'm just trying to ask you. Hitomi Sasaki said, "During the rehearsal a few days ago, the light almost fell on Miss Shoko. ”

"What, you mean to say that I did it on purpose. ”

"This ......," Hitomi Sasaki didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Conan appeared, "Wow, that's what the top of the stage looks like." ”

"Hmph, you can investigate however you want. "Really, what a joke." With that, he left.

Hitomi Sasaki said, "Thank you, little brother. ”

Conan asked, "Is Miss Shoko being targeted?"

"Sort of. Hitomi Sasaki said, and then said to Lan who came up, "By the way, you can't come here, it's very dangerous here." With that, he took Ran and Conan down.

Conan finds Maori, who is checking the props, and tells him about the fact that the lighting equipment has fallen.

"So, is Shoko-sama being targeted?" said Mori, touching his chin, and then went to Kazuo Motoki and asked him to check the lamp again.

Kazuo Motoki told him to check the lamps above the stage again, and he went to do it.

Kazuo Motoki asked the three of them to sit down and prepare to watch the rehearsal. Mori, Ran, and Conan each sat down in the front row, and Conan sat next to Heihachiro Shiota.

At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, the rehearsal of the stage play began. tells the story of a couple of men and women who are martyred, the male protagonist Yuchi Uda, the heroine Shoko Oide, and the waitress Eiko Nakayama.

Finally, at an open-air table and chair in the café, Yuichi Uda held Shoko Oide's hand and said, "Even if I really want to go to hell, I still don't want to be separated from you." ”

Shoko Oide said: "Me too, I am willing to accompany you to the ends of the earth." ”

Yuichi Uda said, "The love between us will turn into stars. Run together to the kingdom of heaven. ”

Lan burst into tears when he heard this, and Heihachiro Shiota yawned, "It's really boring, if you really want to act in a touching drama, it's better to play a filial son." ”

At this time, the maid Eiko Nakayama served water and two cups for the hero and heroine.

"Are you really willing to die?" said Yuchi Uda, "with me?" as he said, taking out two packets of medicine.

After taking a packet of medicine, Shoko Oide said, "As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

Conan raised his triangular eyes and blushed and muttered, "It's really a bad show." ”

Yukachi Uda poured water into two cups, and then handed Shoko Oide a cup.

The hero and heroine looked at each other affectionately, took the medicine, drank the water, and then fell down on the table. Then the lights go out, and the stage play is over.

After a few moments, the lights came on.

Kazuo Motoki said, "It's amazing, Shoko, your performance today is really shocking." ”

Yuichi Uda sat up and said, "That said, even I was scared by your acting skills just now." Then he found that Shoko Oide was still motionless, so he pushed it, "Shoko, you're too into the play." But he pushed Shoko Oide to the ground, revealing her hair-covered face, a lifeless and pale face.

Damn, Conan cried out in his heart, to kill in front of my eyes.

"Ah, she's dead. Maori exclaimed, "From now on, no one is allowed to leave this scene." ”……
