Corpse collector in Conan

Next to her, Haiyuan Ai leaned on the chair that was very huge for her, feeling the dim environment around her, and hiding in it, she felt a rare sense of security.

Jiang Xia got a basket of popcorn from nowhere. While Jiang Xia was busy talking to Inspector Asa, Haiyuan Ai looked over, stretched out her little hand to grab a handful, held it in front of her and ate it. By the way, I also handed some to Mao Lilan next to me.

Mao Lilan shook her head and did not answer. Her hands were very busy now - busy covering her eyes.

The magicians in this troupe have the same performance style as his poster. They choose some dangerous magic tricks that are terrifying and terrifying, as if they will die on the spot in the next second.

In addition to the most basic magic box and cutting people, of course there are also various other performances, such as just tying the assistant to a huge roulette wheel, throwing darts at the roulette wheel and hitting the balloon that the assistant was holding diagonally, including this A terrifying magic trick is about to be performed.

——There is a huge instrument placed on the table, which looks like a quaint four-poster bed, but there are many circular holes in the bed board.

Above, parallel to the bed board, hangs a steel plate of equal size. On the steel plate are densely packed sharp knives, and the tips of the knives can correspond to the holes in the bed board below.

"He's probably going to lie down on the steel plate and let the sharp knife from above come down." Haiyuan Ai grabbed another small handful from the popcorn bucket in Jiang Xia's hand. He didn't really appreciate this kind of magic, "Just It can be said that it is curious, but it has no sense of beauty.”

Mao Lilan: "..." Xiao Ai must be too calm. Is this magic really not that scary? Is it just that I am too timid?

She silently lowered her hand covering her eyes and tentatively looked towards the stage. I happened to see Magician Bang Bang tapping those spikes - the dull texture told the audience that the sharp metal spikes were all genuine.

Mao Lilan immediately covered his eyes again: "No, no! If you stab him like this, there will be blood holes all over his body!"

It seems that Mao Lilan is not the only one who feels scared.

The magician glanced at the buzzing venue, nodded secretly with satisfaction, and then lay down on the terrifying steel bed.

The beautiful female assistants bent down and tied his hands and feet tightly with straps, and then surrounded the bed with a piece of cloth to block the magician's figure.

Mao Lilan covered her eyes more tightly with her hands.

Next to him, Conan was unable to get anything out of Okiya Subaru for the time being. Suddenly, he noticed that the audience around him was exclaiming in low voices, so he also looked at the stage curiously.

He saw through the use of this mechanism at a glance, and comforted Mao Lilan: "Don't worry, the 'bands' on his hands and feet are actually just Velcro, and they can be opened by themselves. The moment the curtain blocks his view, he can Smoothly break away from those things and hide in the gap behind."

Mao Lilan: "...This was also taught by your brother Jiang Xia?"

Conan froze: "Haha, yes, I learned a lot from him."

Mao Lilan knocked him on the head: "Then next time I will learn from your brother Jiang Xia and don't suddenly spoil the show during the performance!"

Conan: "..." Didn't I see that you were nervous and help you eliminate the nervousness in advance...

He was smiling coquettishly, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Subaru Okiya on the other side sat up nervously.

"?" Conan was very concerned about this mysterious graduate student and immediately turned back to look at him, "What's wrong?!"

Okiya Subaru didn't know whether to say something or not. After a moment, he hesitantly raised his hand and gestured quietly at an angle that would not be seen by other viewers.

Hui Yuan Ai was also staring at the stage just now, but she could see it clearly. She stopped eating popcorn and looked serious: "That magician's palm suddenly opened and closed a few times just now - that was not the time of the commission. The 'emergency signal' he told us about?"

——If I remember correctly, the magician specifically warned him before that once he made that gesture, even if it was in the middle of the performance, the detective would immediately rush to the stage to stop the performance, because it was probably a member of the troupe who was on the equipment in order to kill him. Moved hands and feet.

The large instrument in front of him seems to be an excellent opportunity to kill - as long as the magician is unable to escape from the steel knife bed in time according to the predetermined plan, then he will be disgraced and die on the spot due to a "performance accident". On stage.

"Emergency signal for help?!" Inspector Asa's hearing was unexpectedly good. Although he only said a few words, the "commission" and the "emergency signal for help" allowed him to quickly guess the current situation.

——If usually, Inspector Asa would still have doubts about this, then after experiencing yesterday, after meeting Jiang Xia and the series of incredible murders, he had no doubt that something was really going on on the stage at this time. A murderous conspiracy.

Seeing Jiang Xia standing up, Inspector Asa immediately jumped up and rushed to the stage before him. At the same time, he raised his police card and ordered: "Stop the performance immediately!"

However, as a calm middle-aged man, he was wearing dark clothes today. He was very inconspicuous in the dim audience area after the lights were turned off. His voice was submerged in the music not long after it came out.

Not to mention the actor on the stage, not even the audience in the aisle noticed him. Halfway through the run, Inspector Asa tripped over a leg that was casually propped up in the aisle and almost fell to the stage with a grunt.

Jiang Xia ran a few steps quickly, and before his head hit the edge of the stage, he grabbed the person with all his strength: "..."...Why do these middle-aged people love wrestling so much?

Almost at the same time, on the stage, the assistants who were alerted by Inspector Asa instinctively shrank their bodies, and the mechanisms in their hands were pulled.

The steel plate full of steel blades on the top of the steel knife bed crashed down with a loud "bang", accompanied by countless small puncture sounds.

There was a curtain around the four-poster bed, which blocked the magician's body, but the foot of the bed could be seen.

A group of people lowered their gazes and saw that at this moment, the half-meter-long spikes penetrated the bed board and emerged from below. The blood flowed down the cone-shaped spikes and fell to the ground drop by drop, forming a terrifying pool of blood.

"..."

In the audience, Okiya Subaru hissed and covered his eyes.

Haibara Ai glanced at him secretly, and felt calmer: Subaru Okiya's current reaction was not what an organization leader should have, and even some peripheral members were more indifferent than him. Such people may be treated as waste within the organization, but putting them outside will undoubtedly make people feel safer.

While she was speculating about this graduate student, she imitated Jiang Xia's reasoning and touched her chin.

Then he froze slightly.

Two seconds later, Hui Yuan Ai silently took out a pack of wet wipes and began to wipe the sugar stains on her fingers and chin.
