Corpse collector in Conan

"It happens that we have to rehearse a stage play soon. It's rare that we have professionals, so why not ask Tamanosuke to give guidance." Suzuki Sonoko was very interested in this ancient traveling theater troupe and said to Jiang Xia, "We plan to skip club activities after school and go to Tamanosuke. The theater troupe is visiting, so come with us."

Although the exam is coming soon, the stage and theater troupe are more interesting than reviewing.

And this time they had a valid reason: Ito Tamanosuke had just taken over as the group leader, and as a good classmate, of course everyone wanted to support him.

Originally, Suzuki Sonoko planned to take a detour after school to meet Jiang Xia. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xia happened to come to school today.

Jiang Xia was indeed very interested in this. He looked at Ito Tamanosuke and said, "That's great. He is already the mainstay of the troupe at such a young age. There should be many people in the troupe."

Ito Tamanosuke sorted out the remaining flyers in his hand and looked a little embarrassed: "I'm not really a mainstay. But before the official performance starts this time, I will sing a warm-up song in which one person plays the role of a triangle. This is my first time performing this. The position is really a bit nervous - if you go to visit, I can just practice with you a few times, so that you won't panic when the show officially starts."

Having said that, in fact, Ito Tamanosuke led his own small troupe to perform all over the country, and he had already become very skilled in acting. He said this just to make an excuse so that his classmates would not be polite.

Other students are obviously also curious about the traveling troupe: "Do you travel around the country and stop and perform wherever you want? This kind of free life is really enviable."

"It takes about one to two years to tour around the country." Tamanosuke Ito said modestly, "It's okay once, but I get tired after traveling too much."

Mao Lilan was somewhat impressed by this troupe: "Have you also been to the Mihua Theater? I seem to have seen a troupe with this name there."

Ito Tamanosuke hummed: "I came here two years ago. At that time, the main star was still my father. I was just an ordinary young actor. I just need to concentrate on acting and don't have to worry about such publicity matters."

Looking at the rough leaflet in his hand, the new regiment leader sighed.

Jiang Xia was more sensitive to sighs. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and glanced at him. I saw this classmate's expression became sad, and he looked like he was telling a story.

Other students obviously noticed the change in Ito Tamanosuke and asked curiously: "The former leader? Has your father retired? Judging from your age, he should still be very young."

Ito Tamanosuke shook his head: "He passed away from illness a year ago. Because of this incident, half of our troupe members also died - I am ashamed to say that if I had been more reliable, the troupe would not be in such a miserable state now." The look of support.”

Jiang Xia remembered something: "By the way, the program team hasn't gone far yet, why don't we go to your theater to film the next stop? Just use it as a promotion."

The popularity of this program is quite high, and it’s worth noting. And as long as the troupe becomes famous, no matter what kind of fame it is, people will be curious to go see the show and be attracted by the troupe's strength... Well, that's probably the case.

Ito Tamanosuke was startled and his eyes lit up.

He was obviously very excited about this proposal, but he felt it was too troublesome for this new classmate whom he had only met for two minutes, so he had to refuse with difficulty: "...Forget it, this will cause you a lot of trouble."

"It's no trouble. I just asked them to decide whether to come or not." Jiang Xia said, "I've been very interested in dialogue drama and stage recently, so I just took this opportunity to visit your troupe."

When Suzuki Sonoko heard this, she looked over with bright eyes: Jiang Xia's clients include several actors, and Miss Yoko has such a good relationship with him. If Jiang Xia wants to, she will definitely find an opportunity to take him there. Various stage and backstage tours. But Jiang Xia said this now... He must be relieving the pressure on Ito Tamanosuke and asking this classmate not to refuse his help.

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko: Jiang Xia is such a good person!

…

Because it was a temporary decision, after skipping club activities after school, Jiang Xia accompanied Mao Lilan and the others to the Maori Detective Agency.

"Should I eat dinner by myself?" Mouri Kogoro looked a little wilted without his daughter to feed him, "Okay, then what are you going to do?"

Suzuki Sonoko raised her head proudly: "We are going to visit a classmate's theater troupe. He is the leader of a traveling theater troupe. He will go on tour elsewhere in a month. We want to take advantage of this time to give him more support. "

Mouri Kogoro's eyes twitched: "You have an exam the day after tomorrow. Instead of reviewing now, you go to play on the stage? Look at those people in your class who study well. Could it be that they will... before the exam..."

"..."

In the middle of speaking, Mouri Kogoro suddenly fell silent and looked at Jiang Xia.

If I remember correctly, this kid seemed to have suddenly enlightened during this period. He was perfect in every aspect, and he usually ran around without studying at all.

Jiang Xia faced the dim gaze of the adults next door and said calmly: "Actually, it is easier to do well in the exam if you relax before the exam. Speaking of which-"

As if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a box of things and handed it to Mouri Kogoro: "This is the latest album. Ms. Yoko asked me to say hello to you on her behalf."

"!"

Mouri Kogoro's eyes changed, and he suddenly looked like a kind elder, and laughed: "Oh, I'm really troubling you, go ahead. Go ahead and teach Xiaolan some more learning methods, etc. Go early and come back early - that's right , if the new classmate who invited Xiaolan to visit the stage wants to harass my daughter, remember to punch him for me."

Suzuki Sonoko felt that this old father was thinking too much: "Where are you thinking? Ito-san is handsome and innocent, and looks so good-looking, how can he be a bad person - but one thing you said is right. With Jiang Xia here, Even if he is really a bad guy, he can only be sent to the police station in the end!"

Conan, who has just left the Young Detective Team and returned home: "..." Handsome, simple, and good-looking? And invited Xiaolan to visit his home?

...Why didn’t he know when the new classmate came?

Conan put down his schoolbag and quickly made a decision: "I want to go too!"

Several people left noisily.

Mouri Kogoro ignored these brats. He turned on the TV and happily watched his new baby - when the album was released two days ago, he happened to accept a commission and was busy following the mistress. He didn't have time. Buy it, the album will be sold out by the time you have time.

"It's better to be a private detective. For other ordinary people, there is no way to contact idols." Mouri Kogoro opened a bottle of beer and took a sip happily. When that cute face appeared on the screen, he raised his glass and cheered, "Miss Yoko!!"
