Conan’s Corpse Picker

Yuan Shan and Ye stayed at the door briefly.

At this time, in the props room, Robert had already put the real sword back on the sword stand.

Then he pulled open his collar and began to take off his costume.

…

Outside the door, Jiang Xia gently patted Yuan Shan and Ye.

Yuan Shan and Ye came back to their senses, and before Robert noticed them, they quietly left the door of the props room and turned into the side road.

Yuan Shan and Ye slowly came back to their senses. This was completely different from the "easy problem solving" she had imagined. She grabbed Jiang Xia and said, "What should we do!"

Jiang Xia recovered from the wonderful smell of murderous intent and showed a serious expression:

"I have to remind the 'minister' again - I have to let them know that someone wants to kill me, so that I can avoid being poisoned in the future."

"...Okay." Yuan Shan and Ye Shen felt that they shouldered a heavy responsibility - teaming up with Jiang Xia, and suddenly experienced the weight of being detectives.

…

Soon, the door to the prop room opened and closed.

Robert, who plays "Prince," leaves from there.

Jiang Xia, Yuan Shan and Ye followed quietly.

Robert was so proud of himself that he didn't realize that two little tails were falling behind him.

He came to the door of Yabuki Atsushi's lounge, knocked on the door, and walked in.

In this masked drama, "the minister and the prince were instigated by the king and died together. When the king was drinking to celebrate, he was poisoned by the minister's poisonous wine."

Yabuki Atsushi plays the role of a minister. This is also the least outstanding of the three characters.

…

But at this time, Yabuki Atsushi did not show humility when facing Robert, a person who was a head above him in the play - because he was rich and he was Robert's creditor.

"Mr. Yabuki, I really haven't collected enough money. Can you give me a few more months of grace?"

Robert carefully picked up the prince's costume and handed it to Yabuki Atsushi like a treasure: "As interest, I am willing to give you the role of 'Prince' - I have always thought that you are very talented, but you just lack a performance. Opportunity!"

He had a humble smile on his face, but there was already a hideous grin in his heart: I don't know who made the mistake of using the real and fake swords for the duel. The fake sword that originally shrank was replaced with a real sword that could actually pierce the heart. In "The Victory of Foolishness", the prince died by being pierced by a sword.

In other words, whoever takes the role of "Prince" will be stabbed to death with a sword later - Goodbye, bastard creditor!

…

Across from him, Yabuki Atsushi frowned and looked at the "Prince" costume for a while, and it lived up to Robert's expectations.

He snorted coldly, reached out to take those clothes, and then threw his "minister" clothes to Robert, and said: "I will give you one more month's grace at most."

Robert's words just now, "There is only one opportunity to perform," spoke to Yabuki Atsushi's heart.

——Anyway, masquerade is a kind of mime, and the characters all wear masks, so it’s impossible to tell who is who on stage.

When everything ends, the audience will be surprised to see that the charming "prince" is actually Yabuki Atsushi.

…

Robert achieved his goal and left in a good mood, wearing the minister's costume.

Wait until he goes away.

In the corridor a few meters away, two heads stuck out from the wall.

Jiang Xia, Yuan Shan and Ye looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Then they quietly came outside Yabuki Atsushi's door. Toyama and Ye took a deep breath, intending to repeat the conversation they had just had about "the sword in the prop room was changed."

However, he did not wait to speak. Suddenly, cheerful laughter came from the room.

Yabuki Atsushi said to himself: "Wonderful, wonderful. Double happiness!"

Yuan Shan and Ye happened to pass by the door.

She glanced into the room curiously and saw the "poor man about to be killed" reaching into his bag and taking out a bottle of wine and a syringe. The syringe is filled with clear liquid.

Toyama Kazuye: "?"

She suddenly had a bad premonition.

The next second, Yabuki Atsushi tilted the red wine bottle over, inserted the cork with a syringe, and slowly dripped the liquid inside.

While dripping, he muttered in relief: "Oh, my poison can even kill an elephant. Asshole old man, go to hell! Hahahaha!"

Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned.

Jiang Xia took two steps and found that she had not followed. He turned around and led the person away to prevent Yabuki Atsushi from running into her when he went out.

…

After hiding around the corner, Yuan Shan and Ye came back to their senses and said nonchalantly: "...Is there really a curse?"

Jiang Xia was already very familiar with the detectives' lines. He shook his head in a low voice: "It's the curse of the human heart."

"Alas." Yuan Shan and Ye sighed together with him.

Sighing, the immature female high school student immediately became angry when she thought that someone was about to be poisoned by "wine that can poison an elephant".

Without Jiang Xia's teaching, she already said it very clearly: "Let's go to Komazuka Hirona! Fortunately, there are only three of us, the last one, so it's not a big problem. Well, probably..."

——Hiroshi Komazuka plays the king in "Foolish Victory". He happens to be an "old man", and he also happens to be the easiest to be "poisoned to death". He should be the person Yabuki Atsushi wants to poison.

…

The two high school students guessed correctly: Yabuki Atsushi finished injecting the poison and quickly took the bottle of poisoned wine and went straight to Komazuka Hiroshi's lounge.

"Mr. Komazuka." The moment he entered the lounge, Yabuki Atsushi's sinister expression instantly turned into a humble smile.

He bowed and presented the exquisitely packaged red wine: "The performance is about to start. Thanks to your guidance, I have been able to get to where I am today. This small gift is not a sign of respect. I hope that we can work together happily during the official performance soon." "

"Cooperate? Huh, are you worthy of cooperating with me? - I really don't know which unscrupulous bastard put you, a rich second generation with no acting skills, into the crew."

Komazuka Hiroshi is obviously quite harsh on Yabuki Atsushi. However, he heard the sound of red wine sloshing in the bottle and couldn't help but swallow - he had always been addicted to alcohol.

I was about to "reluctantly" accept the gift, and then poured a small glass to satisfy my craving.

But just reached out.

Outside the door, a female voice suddenly came, which seemed to be a staff member: "Mr. Komazuka, the show is about to start. How are you preparing? Robert and Mr. Yabuki are both playing roles in this play for the first time. Please bring more of them to the stage."

"..." Komazuka Hiroshi didn't recognize this unfamiliar voice. He had to deal with various staff members frequently and had no time to memorize the faces and voices of every little ant.

If it were normal times, if someone taught him to do things like this, he would probably slam the table on the spot.

But this time... the reminder sounded cute.

And Komazuka Hiroshi happened to have a guilty conscience.

——A qualified actor should never drink before going on stage. He almost broke this important default rule because of his alcohol addiction, which made him unable to resist the temptation.
