Chapter 284: Once Upon a Time in New York (4) Golden Apple

"Alright." Seeing that everyone was a little silent, Sharon couldn't help but smile slightly, "Don't talk about me anymore, since you've arrived, didn't you say that you want to go backstage to have a look?" If you're late, you won't have time! ”

"Oops!" Yukiko looked at her watch and exclaimed, "Is it already so late!" ”

"Since you said that you want to go backstage to watch, why do you press open your eyes." Seeing this, Shinichi couldn't help but complain about his mother, "Isn't it good to come a little earlier?" ”

"You're so stupid." Yukiko couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and her eyes were full of pity for Shinichi, "The people on the stage before and after the show are all ordinary people, what about before the show?" ”

β€œ........ What's going on with this fiery eyes! Shinichi couldn't help but grit his teeth a little.

Background.

Watching Sharon and Yukiko chatting with a group of flowery and costumed actresses laughing and chatting, Shinichi understood what Yukiko's words meant.

"It turns out that at this time, those actresses have finished putting on makeup and can meet people......" Thinking about this, Shinichi couldn't help but hold his forehead, and at the same time laughed secretly in his heart.

It turns out that in my mother's eyes, these people are ordinary people when they don't wear makeup.

"However, there is one thing that is very strange....... Xiaolan on the side nodded her chin, and there was a hint of puzzlement in her eyes, "Shinichi, why did those actors just call Aunt Yukiko's female detective 'Your Excellency the Duchess'?" ”

"Hehehehehehe....... That's what the locals in New York call her. Shinichi had a helpless smile on his face and rubbed his hair with a headache, "That's because he's the author of the famous Duke of the Night series, which is my father's wife." In addition, once she appeared on a TV show here, and the reasoning she did in it happened to hit the nail on the head, and she successfully caught the murderer, so the locals gave her such a title. ”

"Wow!" Xiaolan looked at Yukiko's back in surprise, "So is Auntie so powerful?" ”

"Awesome?" Shinichi snorted softly, "All the reasoning she did was what my dad commented on when he read the newspaper in the morning, and she just copied it as it was." After speaking, looking at Xiaolan like a deflated ball, he couldn't help but smile bitterly,

"So, these two children are your children the Baroness?" A long-haired blonde actress at the head squeezed her eyes at Yukiko and asked with a low smile.

"The boy is mine, the girl is not." Yukiko laughed, and then there was a different look in her eyes, and she smiled and whispered, "However, I think she may become my daughter in the future!" ”

"Oh!" After everyone heard this, they all showed a hint of a clear smile, except for Shinichi and Xiaolan who looked at them inexplicably.

"I'm really disappointed, I thought the Baroness had arrived and could help us find out the origin of the mysterious gift." At this moment, a woman about thirty years old appeared at the door, with an inexplicable disdain in her tone, "As a result, she just brought her child to the backstage to watch the excitement." ”

Hearing the man's disdainful tone, Sharon's eyes flashed.

"A mysterious gift?" Xiaolan was stunned.

"It's just a gift that the troupe received three days ago." Sharon said lightly, "It's a golden apple spray made of golden spray paint, that is, the Golden Apple, and the words 'For the Most Beautiful Women' written on it in animal blood, that's it." ”

β€œGolden appleοΌŸβ€ Shinichi's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "That's it....... It's interesting. ”

"That's what it is...... Is it the golden apple that sets the goddesses apart with each other? ”

In the preparation room backstage, a teenager stared at the glittering apple in his hand and chuckled.

No one knows how this young man got into this place, the young man looks like he is no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, although his face without the slightest flaw is still immature, but it does not affect the handsomeness of the young man at all, his black hair hangs down to his ears, he is dressed in a black slim suit, and his slender figure looks perfect. The boy played with the apple in one hand, and took out a pair of gold-wire black-rimmed glasses that looked unusually delicate from his jacket pocket with the other, and hung them on the bridge of his nose.

Legend has it that Eris, the goddess of discord, threw down the most beautiful golden apple, and Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite all had a feud over it. (1)" The young man chuckled, "It seems that this goddess of wisdom cannot escape the temptation of the most beautiful title, let alone you vulgar fat fans?" Sure enough, I have fun watching with my senior sister. ”

"But," a faint hint of gold flashed in the young man's eyes, "the purpose of the person who threw this golden apple this time is not very simple......" The young man pondered his chin, "Do you want to intervene?" ”

"However, if Shinichi is here, it looks like I don't need to play, do I?" The boy touched his chin, "What's more, Miyamoto Charlot's sudden appearance here is also very troublesome to explain...... As for the strange thief Feng Ming, the pure gold is almost the same. He looked at the golden apple in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, "If you show up for such a thing, you will be laughed at by your senior brother when you go back, right?" ”

"What the hell was it the first two days that made a lot of fuss........ Now even the FBI is on the move. The boy sighed, "Akai, this bastard, is really troublesome to chase me alive from Las Vegas to New York....... Well? Wait......" Thinking of this, the young man's eyes moved slightly.

"I came here with my senior sister, since my senior sister appeared here......."

β€œFBI...... Are you really just chasing me? ”

......

"This....... Thank you for your help......." The New York Police Department, the police chief said to the man in front of him with a smile, "It's really my blessing to have the elite assistance of the FBI......"

"Mission." The man in front of him didn't pay any attention to the chrysanthemum-like smile squeezed out of the police chief's fat face, and just opened his mouth lightly, and the chill in his tone couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"That ......" The smile on the director's face froze, and his heart was slightly angry, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and still said with a smile, "It's the 'highway demon' that has been rampant recently......"

"Materials." The man's tone was still cold, as if there was no trace of popularity.

The director reluctantly handed the man a pile of information, and after the results, ignoring the director's slightly ugly expression, the man turned around and left directly.

After leaving the police station, the man slowly raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky of New York and the misty drizzle.

The man's skin is fair, and his slightly thin figure does not look thin at all, but there is an inexplicable sense of ferocity, which makes people feel frightened. The man wore a knitted hat, his long black hair hanging down to his back fluttering in the wind behind him, and casually draped in a dark gray trench coat, standing quietly on the street.

Flipping through the information in his hand, the man sneered, "tore and pulled", and tore the information from the police chief's hand into shreds. Then the man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

"James? Give me a copy of the incident. ”

"Mission clear?" On the other end of the phone, a deep male voice came slowly, "With this assistance, you have already three tasks." ”

"Not necessarily, is it?" The man smiled slightly, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, "The main task of capturing the monster thief Feng Ming has become doing his best, and the people in the upper echelons are really interesting." ”

"It's more important to spy on that person." The male voice on the other side said in a serious tone, "Even if you can't be sure now, you need to make it a top priority!" After all, you've already given up your status as the Great Stars, haven't you? ”

The man was slightly silent, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"You don't have to blame yourself." The man on the other end of the phone also sighed as if he had thought of something, "That mistake is over, and now it is most important to complete the task at hand." ”

"After all...... Fifty years...... It's already here. ”

(1) "An Apple of Discord" Legend has it that Peleus, the Greek hero of Argonaut, and Thetis, the daughter of Nereus, the god of the Aegean Sea, held a wedding on Mount Polion and held a feast. The gods of Olympus were invited to the feast, but the goddess Eris, who was in charge of the dispute, was not invited. The goddess was so angry that she decided to create discord at this wedding feast. So, she came uninvited, and quietly placed a golden apple on the feast, engraved with the words "belong to the most beautiful". Hera, the queen of heaven, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, all thought that they were the most beautiful and deserved the golden apple, and received the title of "the most beautiful". They quarreled and went to Zeus, the father of the gods, but Zeus, who was unwilling to take sides, asked them to go to Paris, the prince of Troy, for judgment. In order to obtain the golden apple, each of the three goddesses privately promised Paris some kind of benefit: Herache gave him a vast land and the right to possess rich treasures, Athena promised him the honor of civil and military versatility and victory, and Aphrodite promised him the husband of the most beautiful woman in the world. The young Paris chose between wealth, honor and beauty, and awarded the golden apple to the god of love and beauty. For this reason, Hera and Athena hated Paris, and the entire Trojans. Later, in order to fulfill his promise, Aphrodite helped Paris kidnap the queen of Spartan king Meneos--- the peerless beauty Helen, which caused the Trojan War, which lasted for 10 years. The apple dropped by Eris, the goddess of discord, not only became the source of discord between the three goddesses in heaven, but also the cause of the war between the two peoples on earth.
