Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2392 2396 [FBI, total defeat] Asking for monthly votes ()

The confused FBI agent was about to go to the coffee stand to take a look, but at this moment, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"?!" The FBI agent was startled, looked up suddenly, and then suddenly saw a familiar knitted hat.

"Mr. Akai?" He was very surprised and lowered his voice, "You are back so soon?"... Fortunately, I didn't secretly scold him behind his back.

Akai Shuichi nodded. He was originally responsible for tracking "Dr. Shinde", but after experiencing the bank robbery just now and spending some time together in a confined space, he knew very well that a "passerby" like him would definitely attract the attention of Vermouth.

At this time, if he went with her again, his intention would be too obvious, so Akai Shuichi simply took a gamble: he took a shortcut back to Teitan Junior High School one step ahead and pretended to give up tracking. This can hide himself on the one hand, and let Vermouth relax his vigilance on the other hand.

Of course, in order to prevent Belmode from cooperating with "that person" and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, Shuichi Akai contacted other colleagues and asked them to keep an eye on Belmode's movements from a distance for him, so as to prevent the fake school doctor from not coming to the campus festival, but turning around and going somewhere else in the chaos.

And from the information fed back by the new stalker, Belmode did not run around, and was still coming here.

Shuichi Akai was slightly relieved.

He glanced at the slightly chaotic audience seats and found that it was very convenient to hide here, so he patted his colleague and whispered: "Change position, I'll keep an eye on this, you go check the new suspects first."

Colleague: "..."

Can we exchange jobs, you go check those boring lists full of uncles, and I sit here and drink coffee while watching young and beautiful high school girls perform dramas?

He muttered to himself, then stood up with a determined face: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Passerby FBI agent regretfully left the stage, and Shuichi Akai took his place.

The play was about to start. Because of the previous delay, there were still many people walking around in the audience.

Shuichi Akai took off his knitted hat in the chaos, put on a black baseball cap, and then followed the crowd to the stall next to him to buy a cup of coffee.

He returned to his seat with a paper cup, looked down at the cup of coffee, took another look, and finally couldn't help opening the lid and carefully looked at the dark liquid inside.

Shuichi Akai: "..." This taste, and this color... Why is it so much like the coffee that James spent his private money to fly from the UK and hid at the bottom of the cabinet and was reluctant to drink?

He was studying it with his head down, and suddenly, "Dingling——" a bell rang.

Shuichi Akai raised his head and saw that the light above his head dimmed. Immediately afterwards, accompanied by this narration, the stage curtain slowly opened.

"Next is the play brought to you by Class B of the second year of Teitan Junior High School, "Strange Love" - ​​please enjoy it!"

The lights came on, revealing the gorgeous props above. But a closer look revealed that some props near the corners were slightly rough.

Shuichi Akai stroked his coffee cup, thinking of the props in Dr. Shinde's trunk that had not been delivered, and he understood something.

He continued to observe the situation on the stage while looking around, ready to catch any abnormalities that might occur.

...

Backstage.

A certain heroine who stayed in the dressing room and didn't go out was anxiously waiting for her colleague to reply. Just now, the colleague whispered a few words to her, and then there was no follow-up. She pricked up her ears and tried to listen for a long time before vaguely catching some sounds and vaguely knowing that Shuichi Akai had rushed back.

"What happened? We lost contact for so long." Judy was so curious that she wanted to rush off the stage and catch her colleagues who were riddlers to find out the situation.

However, before that, someone rushed over and grabbed her: "Teacher Judy? Why are you still here? It's your turn to go on stage!"

Judy looked at Suzuki Sonoko who suddenly appeared, and her eyes twitched slightly: "..." I'm not in the mood to act now, I just want to beat someone up now.

But she had already agreed. According to the persistence of these high school students in rehearsing the drama, if she quit now, then she, "Teacher Judy", would probably have no good impression and credibility at all.

For the long-term development in the future, a certain FBI agent had to smile with humiliation: "Okay, I'll go now."

Suzuki Sonoko looked around and whispered stealthily: "The veil can cover your hair color. You don't have many lines in the first few minutes of the drama. Just move quietly. Xiaolan said that she has settled the old man and is on the way back from the hospital. As long as you survive this period, the crisis will be resolved!"

Judy was stunned: "..." So fast? How did she settle James? They had agreed to delay for a while... Never mind, this is not the point now. The point is that since Shuichi has returned, Vermouth should be here soon.

"Don't forget the main goal today." Judy patted her face gently and reminded herself in her heart:

"Although the time is a little rushed, it is enough - I don't know what kind of expression 'Dr. Shinde' will show when he sees me on the other side when he makes a brilliant appearance as the male protagonist... Humph, it's a good opportunity to find out her latest goal. This woman has won many international awards, but now she is inexplicably so concerned about a campus drama. She must have a big plan."

While thinking about it, Judy followed Suzuki Sonoko. The two walked quickly through the backstage. Judy bent down and got into the props on the stage.

…

While Mao Lilan hurried back, he took a moment to look at his watch: "Oh no, it's already this time... I hope I can still catch up."

As soon as she lowered her head and then raised her head, she happened to cross a fork in the road. Unfortunately, someone happened to come out on the other side of the fork in the road. Mao Lilan couldn't react in time and bumped into that person.

"Sorry, sorry!" Mao Lilan was startled. She stood up hastily, and then hurriedly helped the person who stumbled back after being hit by her.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, she was stunned: "Shinde-sensei?!"

"Doctor Shinde" quietly touched the painful chest and smiled: "It's me, why are I running so fast?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was startled and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The "new doctor" looked at his watch: "According to the time, hasn't the play started now? Why...wait a minute, is it because we are not here, the start of the show has been delayed?"

Mao Lilan shook her head blankly: "I don't know either. Yuanzi just asked me to rush back as soon as possible. She said the problem was not big and she would give me a surprise."
