Wednesday, August 18th, afternoon, Rice Flower Citizen Park, Aquarium, Water Performance Hall.

Pointing to the large glass tank on the stage in the middle of the field, Ran briefly introduced the content of the water performance to Sonoko and Mei Daizi, and the performers danced with the music and colorful fish in the large tank without wearing oxygen cylinders.

"Unfortunately, if only it were sharks. Mei Daiko said.

"Shark?" asked the garden, angrily, "are you going to see him eat?" and continued, "I think it's better to come like this." ”

"yes, yes. Lan was a little excited.

"I see. Maori nodded, then exclaimed, "Wait, wouldn't a show be over in a few minutes? ”

"If Mr. Mori says it, of course, you can watch it for free. A young woman walked over with a smile, "It's really rare to meet here, Detective Maori." ”

Maori smiled, "Ah, Miss Michiko, I'm here to watch your Venus performance this time." ”

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback, when did the two of them meet, and they looked familiar.

"Hey, Lan, she looks pretty and can't be your mother's rival in love, right?" asked Yuan Zi with a wicked smile.

"Isn't it?" Lan worried, and then asked Maori, "Dad, this young lady is ......?"

"By the way, I haven't introduced it yet, this is Miss Michiko Osawa, and Venus here is a fan of mine, and I met last time on Awashima. Maori smirked.

"Awashima!" Lan was taken aback, and became even more worried, Maori had stayed for a few days last time, and this was ......

Michiko Osawa smiled: "I didn't stay long last time, but this time I want to have a drink with Mr. Maori." ”

I see, Lan breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

"No problem, it's okay to drink until dawn. Maori smiled happily and continued, "This is my daughter Ran, this is her classmates Sonoko and Mei Daiko, this is my assistant Yamazaki, and this is the little ghost Conan who lives at my house." ”

Ran, Sonoko, Midako, Yamazaki, and Conan all greeted Michiko Osawa one by one.

Michiko Osawa smiled, "Hello everyone, welcome to my performance. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man came over, "So you're here, Miss Michiko, the show is about to start." ”

"Okay, then you can greet me with a guest. Michiko Osawa introduced, "This is Mr. Masato Hayashi, the director and editor of the show, and the person in charge here." Mr. Hayashi, this is the famous sleeping Kogoro, the famous detective Mr. Kogoro Maori. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a Maori detective, I said how to look familiar, it's really disappointing. Lin Yaren smiled.

"Where, where. Maori laughed happily.

"Mr. Maori, I beg your pardon for missing me. Michiko Osawa said, and then left.

Lin Yaren said: "Mr. Maori, everyone, let me introduce the next performance to you." ”

Lan asked embarrassedly, "Well, can you show us around the backstage?"

"Backstage?" Lin Yaren was a little surprised.

Lan asked, "I'd love to know how people get under the sink into the sink without leaking?"

"I see. Lin Yaren smiled, "There is no problem with this. ”

"I know, it's the same as the underwater compartment on the submarine," said Midaiko. ”

"Is that so, Mr. Lin?" asked the garden.

"I don't dare to compare it to a submarine. Lin Yaren smiled, "What is the specific situation, everyone will know after seeing it, please follow me." ”

Background.

When everyone arrived, Michiko Osawa was talking to a woman about thirty years old, and it was okay to say that it was a lecture, "You're the first to play, don't you know?

"No, no, Miss. The woman hurriedly said.

"Then hurry up and change your clothes, move quickly. Michiko Osawa said, "Also, don't call me Miss, I'm just a staff member here." ”

"Yes, yes, I see, Michiko-san. With that, the woman walked into the dressing room next to her.

"Really, not dedicated at all. Michiko Osawa complained, then smiled at Mori, "I'm going to make you laugh, Mr. Mori, I've always thought that being late for no reason is bad, and it's even more wrong to make the audience wait." ”

"No, no," Maori laughed, "It's right to be strict at work, but I didn't expect ......"

"I'm not interested in sitting in the office and giving orders, I like to dive, I like the feeling of being free and free to play with the fish in the water, but it's dangerous in the sea, so my father became a shareholder of this Rice Flower Citizen Aquarium Management Company and built this performance hall for me. Michiko Osawa smiled and asked, "By the way, Mr. Mori, what ......are you doing backstage?"

"The little girl wants to see the sink device. Maori smiled and asked, "I wonder if you're bothered?"

"Mr. Maori's words, of course, there is no problem. Michiko Osawa smiled, "Please take your time, I'm going to prepare too, I'm not going to accompany you." With that, he went into the dressing room.

After that, Lin Yaren took the six Maori people to the performance room, pointed to the large metal can in the middle and said, "This is the entry and exit device." ”

At this time, the large metal can was opened, and a middle-aged man came out, stunned to see everyone.

"This is Mr. Yasuyuki Murakawa, a technician, and he is responsible for maintaining this device, so it would be nice for him to introduce it. Hayashi Yato smiled, "Murakawa, this is Detective Mori Kogoro, you can introduce them to the working process of this machine." ”

"Mao, Maori detective!" Murakawa Yasuyuki was taken aback.

"What's the problem?" Lin Yaren asked.

"That," Yasuyuki Murakawa said heavily, "I heard ......"

Seeing that Maori's face changed, Lin Yaren hurriedly said, "Needless to say, this is what Miss Michiko meant." ”

"That's right, okay then. Yasuyuki Murakawa said, and then introduced, "Everyone, please see, this sink in and out is a large sealed jar, and the upper part leads to the shells in the stage tank. There are two buttons, one red and one green, when a person is standing in the sink, the door is closed and the green button can be pressed, so that the control room will open the water inlet above the sink to let the water in, and when the water is full, the upper passage will automatically open and the performer will climb up. ”

"I see. Lan said.

"How do you get out?" asked the garden.

"Wait until the show is over and swim into the shell, close the shell and come back here, press the green button again, and the control room will open the spout under the jar to let the water drain quickly. Yasuyuki Murakawa said.

"And this red button is an emergency?" asked Midaiko.

"Yes," said Yasuyuki Murakawa, "although the performers can hold their breath for about four minutes, this time is not a fixed value and is often affected by various factors. So when the performer feels unprepared and has a problem, he presses this red button, and the control room immediately drains the water. That's it. ”

"I see. Lan said, "Thank you, Mr. Murakawa, for your introduction. ”

"You're welcome. Yasuyuki Murakawa said.

"Okay, let's get out, I'm going to disturb people's work. Maori said.

After that, Lin Yaren took the six Maori people to the venue, and everyone found that there were already many people sitting in the audience.

After sitting for a while, the lights in the arena dimmed, the lights on the stage came on, the lights in the sink came on, the shells were turned on, and the show began.

Lin Yaren introduced: "This performer is Miss Yuriko Minegishi, and the program and accompanying dance music are called "Attachment", and the content is that the fish follow her figure and cling to her side. ”

Seeing that the fish really followed Yuriko Minegishi, Lan asked curiously, "How did this happen?"

"yes, that's weird. The garden said.

"I think it's food," said Midaiko, "and these fish must have been hungry for a while." ”

"That's it. Lin Yaren smiled.

At this time, Yuriko Minegishi stood in the shell, and the fish surrounded her, and then dispersed with her wave, and then she bowed and pulled the shell on, and the stage lights and the water tank lights were dimmed at the right time.

After a while, the stage lights and sink lights came on again, and Hayashi said: "Miss Michiko is going to appear immediately, and the program and accompanying dance music are called "Dancing Together", and the content is that Miss Michiko dances a ballet with a school of fish as a companion. ”

At this time, the shell opened, and Michiko Osawa came out, but instead of standing, she lay motionless and floated up, causing the audience to exclaim together.

Mei Daizi immediately ran up, and hit the glass of the sink with both fists, and the two glasses under the two fists suddenly cracked, and then because of the water pressure, the glass was broken through a big hole by the water, and a large stream of water rushed out and rushed to the audience.

Mei Daiko went into the glass hole against the current and swam towards Michiko Osawa, and the audience hurriedly retreated when they saw the water coming out, but the audience sitting in the front row, including Mori and others, couldn't dodge and were affected.

"Luckily, it's not a shark. Yuanzi stood in the water and patted his chest.

"yes, fortunately. Lan also patted his chest, and then looked curiously at the fish next to him.

"Hey, what's going on?" Maori asked, grabbing Lin Yaren by the collar.

"I don't know," Hayashi exclaimed anxiously, and continued, "yes, yes, speaking of which, Miss Michiko once pressed the red button because of a sudden cramp in her legs, maybe she had cramps in the shell." ”

"No," Yamazaki said, "if you have cramps there, you won't be motionless when you come out." Then he picked up Conan so that he would not be flooded.

Conan said, "Yes, uncle, I think we should call the police, this may be a murder." ”

"Conan?" Lan was surprised.

Yamazaki rubbed his forehead, this kid forgot everything as soon as he ran into the incident, and it was not strange that he showed his stuffing one day.

At this time, Midaiko lifted Michiko Osawa out of the water, put her ear to her heart and listened, and then made a "good" gesture to Mori and the others, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Maori took out the mobile phone on his chest and looked at it, and found that it was no longer available, so he said, "Lan, go outside and call an ambulance, and then notify the Twilight Police Department." ”

"I'll go. Lan dragged the garden into waist-deep water, while Mori, Yamazaki, and Hayashi Masato, who were carrying Conan, walked towards the trough.

As the water ran out, Midaiko stood in the sink and then carried Michiko Osawa on her shoulders to administer first aid to her.

A moment later, Michiko Osawa let out a few coughing sounds, and Midaiko immediately put her down and hugged her in her arms.

At this time, Mori, Conan, Yamazaki, and Hayashi Masato swam into the sink through the glass hole.

Lin Yaren shouted with concern: "Miss Michiko, are you okay, Miss Michiko." ”

"Stop shouting, she's been drugged. Mei Daiko said, then seeing that the water level of the sink was already under the glass hole, she said, "Carry her out first." ”……

Soon after, outside the water performance hall.

As soon as Mei Daizi and her party came out, the ambulance arrived, so they directly sent Michiko Osawa to the ambulance.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, you go and get all the backstage staff. "Being able to send the unconscious Miss Michiko into a shell must have been done by someone familiar with your workflow, that is, it is likely that someone from your house did it." ”

"Mr. Lin, please go to the lounge in the backstage. Yamazaki said.

"Okay, I'll go. Lin Yaren finished speaking and left.

"Comatose?" Lan asked in surprise, "Dad, is this really a murder?"

"Yes," said Maori, "Conan's little imp is right. ”

Conan smiled dryly: "It's all because of your ......, uncle"

"Smack!" Mori immediately planted a large mushroom on Conan's head, "My luck is not your turn yet." ”

"It hurts!" Conan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, you want to hear me, I want to say what you taught.

Yamazaki smiled, "Uncle, let's go in first, the reporter will see you in a while, maybe you will scribble again." ”

"That's a good point, let's go. Maori said.

"I'm not going to the break room, I'm going to catch fish, and it's not good if those fish die. Mei Daiko smiled.

"That's what I want to say, I'll go with you, the police will have a while. Yamazaki laughed.

"Count me in. Yuan Zi smiled.

"I'll go too. Lan laughed. ……
