"Strange gifts?"

Except for the people of the Golden Apple Troupe and Sharon, the rest of the people were all stunned when they heard Ibelis's words, and their faces flashed with puzzlement and curiosity.

Chen Anxia was also stunned, and then glanced at Kudo Shinichi unconsciously.

Immediately, I saw Chen Anxia looking at Iberys and responding, "I promise you, if I can't solve the mystery of the strange gift, I will consider stepping into the tennis world." ”

The reason why Chen Anxia agreed so happily was because Kudo Shinichi was present.

In Chen Anxia's opinion, this strange gift should have something to do with Kudo Shinichi's Grim Reaper physique, and it is likely to be a prelude to the impending murder.

In this case, it is likely that this strange gift was sent by a murderer who has not yet committed the murder...

And if Kudo Shinichi was not present, then Chen Anxia would never have agreed so happily.

After all, well-known Broadway theater companies such as the Golden Apple receive many gifts from fans from time to time, including some gifts of unknown origin or prank nature.

If it is these gifts, without the help of the police, it is really difficult for Chen Anxia to find out.

Kudo Shinichi noticed Chen Anxia's gaze.

Kudo Shinichi didn't know what Chen Anxia was thinking, he just thought that this was Chen Anxia's war letter to himself.

For a while, Kudo Shinichi's fighting spirit was high, and he made up his mind in his heart that he must solve the mystery of the strange gift before Chen Anxia.

On the other side, after hearing Chen Anxia's words, Iberys's expression was slightly relieved, and then she said, "Actually, three days ago, our troupe received a strange gift. ”

"The gift was an apple sprayed with gold lacquer and a message in animal blood that read 'To the Most Beautiful Woman'."

Hearing this, Chen Anxia couldn't help asking, "What about the golden apple?" Is it still there? ”

Ibelis shook her head and replied, "Because the commander thought that the bloodstained golden apple was ominous, he threw it away." ”

Hearing this, Shinichi Kudo couldn't help but ask, "Did you take any pictures?" ”

In this regard, Ibellis and the other three leading actresses all shook their heads and said no.

This is understandable, after all, bloodstained objects are a symbol of ominous in the eyes of most people, and ordinary people certainly don't like to have ominous photos in their phones.

It's just that in this way, the clues on the physical object are completely interrupted.

Undoubtedly, this greatly increases the difficulty of cracking the strange gift.

At this time, Chen Anxia asked again, "How do you know that the golden apple is made of animal blood, not human blood?" Have you sent it for testing? ”

The people present, including Watson and Kudo Shinichi, were all stunned for a moment after hearing Chen Anxia's words, obviously not expecting Chen Anxia to ask this question.

And they hadn't thought about it before.

In their subconscious, it must be animal blood.

After all, who would write well in human blood?

Suppose, it is really written in human blood, then whose blood is it used? Is it your own, or...

Thinking about it, I saw Ibelis answer, "We didn't send it for testing, we just thought it was animal blood." ”

When Chen Anxia heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he continued, "This is a bit troublesome, if it is animal blood on it, it can still be regarded as a simple prank." ”

"But if it's human blood, it's likely not a simple prank, but a warning, or even... Death threats! ”

The actresses of the troupe, who didn't think much about it, suddenly panicked after hearing Chen Anxia's words, and began to chatter non-stop.

This is the effect that Chen Anxia wants.

Chen Anxia deliberately led the matter in a serious direction just now, and only in this way can he observe the most real reaction of the four actresses in front of him under the panic.

In Chen Anxia's view, the person who gave away the blood-stained golden apple could be an outsider or an insider.

And what Chen Anxia has to do now is to confirm the suspicion of the female lead of the troupe present.

Chen Anxia has this confidence, if the person who sends strange gifts is among them, then even if she acts like her, under her own insight, she will definitely show flaws.

Meanwhile, Shinichi Kudo is brainstorming like crazy.

Regarding Chen Anxia's words, Kudo Shinichi recognized it very much.

Indeed, a message will be left in human blood, and in general, it will either be a warning, or ... Death threats.

The most important thing is that if the human blood is the person who gave the strange gift himself, but if it is the blood of someone else, then it is likely that a criminal case will be involved behind it.

It's a pity that there are so few clues known now, and even Kudo Shinichi can't think of any useful information.

Under such circumstances, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head, muttering "Damn, where to start..."

"What is known now is this blood-stained golden apple, which should be modeled after the story of the golden apple in Aegean mythology and legend..."

Mao Lilan, who was on the side, heard Kudo Shinichi's muttering and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shinichi, what is the story of that golden apple in the Aegean Sea?" ”

When Kudo Shinichi heard this, he subconsciously responded, "Ah, that story happened at the wedding of the human hero Paleus and the goddess of the sea, Thetis. ”

"At that time, all the gods of Olympus were invited to the wedding, but Eris, the goddess of discord, was not invited."

"Eris held a grudge against her and presented a golden apple to her guests at the wedding with the inscription 'For the most beautiful goddess.'"

"And the three goddesses with the highest status and the most beautiful of the goddesses, Hera, the queen of heaven, Athena, the god of wisdom and war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, quarreled over this golden apple."

"The other gods did not dare to speak for fear of offending the three goddesses, and in the end Zeus, the god of the heavens, let Paris, the beautiful young man who shepherded sheep on the mountain, be the judge."

"The three goddesses made attractive terms to Paris in order to obtain the golden apple."

"Hera is willing to give him supreme power and bless him to be a ruler on high."

"Athena was willing to give him wisdom and strength, and encouraged him to have the courage to take risks and forge a heroic path."

"Aphrodite promised to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him and be his wife."

"Paris thought about it, and felt that power and domination would be enough for him to inherit his father's throne in the future, and that the path of a hero he himself had a good ability to boldly break through, but love is not something that can be encountered every day."

So he gave the golden apple to Aphrodite.

"Later, with the help of Aphrodite, Paris abducted Helen, the queen of Sparta, the most beautiful woman in the world."

"And this became the trigger for the Trojan War."

"Come to think of it, the troupe's upcoming musical and dance drama Golden Apple is also based on this story."

When Mao Lilan heard the story of the golden apple, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise and amazement.

At the same time, Chen Anxia seemed to have discovered something, her eyes suddenly froze, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she secretly said in her heart, "I really didn't expect it to be so smooth..."

"There can't be a mistake, she was the one who gave away the blood-stained golden apple..."

"Just, what is her purpose?"
