Conan’s Corpse Picker

After listening to the reason described by the little black face, Conan was silent for a moment: "..." Although this is indeed very reasonable, it seems that what he wants to hear is not this kind of ordinary inside story... Can you say something useful?

Jiang Xia seemed to have met more people in society, so she responded calmly to the little black face's unsatisfied expectations: "That's it."

Conan was unwilling to see that he didn't ask any more questions.

After thinking about it, the fake primary school student suddenly found an important entry point: "It sounds like that girl has a bright future and is not under great pressure to study. Why did she suddenly jump off the building?"

"Because there was an accident."

A voice came from the side, answering his question on behalf of the little black face who didn't know the inside story.

As soon as Jiang Xia looked up, he saw Masahiko Matsuzaki walking over. He greeted his fiancé smoothly: "Mr. Matsuzaki? Aren't you rehearsing a play?"

Matsuzaki Masahiko scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "They thought I was affecting Xiaochun's performance, so they asked the school boy from Mulberry High School to play the weirdo for me."

Seeing that he finally had an insider, Conan quickly brought back the topic. He really had a bad feeling and just hoped to learn more things as soon as possible: "Brother, what exactly is the 'accident' you just mentioned? thing?"

Belmode listened to his drawn-out voice with a somewhat complicated expression: "..." A good high school detective was forced to become like this by the organization's drugs... No wonder Uzo always likes to drag Cool Guy. Playing into his script, this little villain must be having fun watching it.

She glanced at Jiang Xia's expression from the corner of her eye, but couldn't see anything. I had to warn myself in my heart: When we get along with each other, we must not be fooled by any external performance of Uzo. Only by treating him like one of those senior actors can we avoid being tempted by him and making fatal mistakes.

Next to her, others knew nothing about her vigilance.

Matsuzaki Masahiko was asked by Conan and sighed a little when he thought about the past: "Don't high schools have science equipment storage rooms, and some chemicals will be placed in them. The girl happened to be preparing for the play of 'Phantom of the Opera' at the time, and she was probably too into the drama. Shen Frequently lost her mind and accidentally splashed sulfuric acid on her face, which completely disfigured her face.

"A young and beautiful girl, from then on, her whole face became as scary as the 'Phantom' in The Phantom of the Opera. Maybe she really couldn't accept such a gap. One day when everyone went to visit her..."

Matsuzaki Masahiko thought of something bad and raised his hand to press his forehead: "Koharu and Kiwako are her classmates and friends from the same club, so they are both in the visiting team. After the disfiguring accident, their emotions I was very depressed, and I didn’t feel at ease, so I went with him that day.

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked downstairs to the hospital, I saw that Tsukishima classmate was not in the ward, but standing on the roof. She was wearing her most beautiful dress, standing outside the railing, speaking loudly in the howling wind 'Phantom' lines.

"'I am the eccentric of the opera house, Phantom. Look, look at this ugly face! Sad, miserable, burned by the fires of hell, and even so, I still long for heaven'--finished her He took off the bandage, revealing his horribly twisted face that had been doused with sulfuric acid, and then jumped off the roof."

Matsuzaki Masahiko sighed: "I have never watched dramas, but I remember her lines so well. I heard that she was originally going to play the glamorous heroine Christine, but who knew that at the last moment of her life, she changed He became that ugly 'phantom' who is full of talent but can only live in the shadows. Fate is really cruel."

As he said that, Matsuzaki Masahiko looked up at the stage. On the stage, several students were still rehearsing, either laughing or serious: "I, an outsider, can't forget the scene at that time. There must be more shadows among her classmates. Xiaoharu just seemed to It’s not that I really didn’t perform well, it’s just that I subconsciously didn’t want to repeat this play… Hey, who was the first person to propose this play just now?”

After hearing the story, Belmode wanted to blurt out, "It must be Uzo," but unfortunately her rationality prevented her from swallowing the words.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Xia, he saw Jiang Xia touching her chin and seemed to be thinking seriously about this issue.

In the end, it was Mao Lilan who remembered first: "It must be Sister Yongmei."

Matsuzaki Masahiko was startled: "I remember she was also a member of that drama club? Why did she..."

Mao Lilan looked at the stage sympathetically: "Maybe because of some things in the past few days, Sister Yongmei's perspective has changed, so she plans to start a new life again and let the new memories offset all the old bad things. Memories?"

Matsuzaki Masahiko said with admiration: "You are so brave."

The "new doctor" pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and agreed in a rare voice: "Indeed."

Jiang Xia: "..." I didn't expect that Belmod would appreciate this type more?

He turned his head and glanced at Belmod, receiving a meaningful look.

Jiang Xia: "?"

The little black face heard them chatting and followed the topic to look towards the stage. When he saw the scene above, he was suddenly startled: "Huh? Who is the beauty who plays the heroine? Why haven't I seen it before? Could it be on the island? people."

Mao Lilan laughed: "It's Sister Yongmei! She just took off her glasses and changed her hairstyle, and also changed into a coat."

The little black face was stunned: "...No wonder she can join the drama club. The legend of 'girls with glasses are beautiful even after taking off their glasses' is actually true."

Matsuzaki Masahiko poked him with his elbow: "Don't say that, it's too rude."

The little black face snorted: "Can't I praise her?"

Matsuzaki Masahiko had no choice but to concentrate on enjoying the rehearsal.

After watching it for a while, he sighed sadly: "The role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera is indeed played best by Tsukishima-san - I watched it when I visited Kiwako and the others. She acted as if the agile heroine had traveled through time and space and possessed her.

"Such a person died young, and I still feel regretful when I think about it. At that time, I even joked that if she debuted, we would all be her first fans. Who knows...sigh."

…

Matsuzaki Masahiko, an onlooker, noticed the gap. Matsuzaki Haru and Koda Eimi, who played the heroine of The Phantom of the Opera, gradually discovered something and fell silent.

The day's rehearsal ended in a speechless atmosphere.

At night, it seemed that even the weather was responding to their mood. The clear sky disappeared completely, and the island was stormy, with thunder and lightning coming one after another.

Maya Hashimoto stood by the window, looking at this ghost movie-like scene, and shuddered silently.
