Corpse collector in Conan

half a minute ago.

Mao Lilan and the "new doctor" entered the venue from the side door and trotted all the way backstage.

As soon as they entered the room, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. When they ran backstage, they were surprised to confirm that the play was still going on smoothly despite the absence of the male and female protagonists.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: Although there was a reason, it would be too painful to have nearly a hundred people in the audience waiting for her.

Beside him, Belmode always felt that things were not that simple.

She came behind the curtain warily and suspiciously, and quietly looked at the stage. When she saw the scene on the stage clearly, her eyes suddenly stopped.

"Teacher Shinde? What's wrong?" Mao Lilan noticed something strange about her and walked to her side to take a look. Suddenly, she met the gaze of the knight who was turning around gracefully on the stage.

"New..." Mao Lilan was about to blurt out, but before that, suddenly, the hand of the knight in black stretched out with the inertia of his rotation and hugged the heroine in a white dress on the stage.

Mao Lilan: "..."

Belmode: "..."

Kudo Shinichi: "..."

He looked at Mao Lilan backstage, then at the white-masked heroine in front of him, and then at Mao Lilan.

Staring at each other for two seconds, he looked away with trembling pupils, and his eyes fell on the "heroine" in front of him.

Kudo Shinichi: "..." Who are you talking about? ! Why is Xiaolan next to me backstage? !

Judy, who was waiting to observe the reaction of the "new doctor": "..." Who the hell are you talking about! ! What about that annoying woman? !

"Xiaolan!"

Backstage, Suzuki Sonoko held the script and ran happily along the aisle: "How about it, surprise or no surprise, that person is back!"

After saying that, she saw the scene of the two people hugging each other "affectionately" on the stage, and saw her best friend's face that seemed to be filled with evil spirits. She screeched to a stop and realized something was wrong.

"Uh..." Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head. She looked at the estimated time on the script and then at the current content on the stage. She murmured in surprise, "The plot is progressing so fast. Someone must have forgotten the words and secretly cut the lines. Otherwise, you can catch up."

Mao Lilan kept a cheerful smile: "It's okay! It's just acting. I hugged the new doctor during rehearsals."

Next to her, the "new doctor" didn't say a word. She stared at the familiar "heroine" with a murderous look all over her body: "..." These FBI bastards actually did something under her nose. This kind of conspiracy... It seems that she wrongly blamed Uzo.

Just as this thought flashed across her mind, Belmod suddenly felt something was wrong: These FBI were obviously coming for her, but she was trapped in the bank by a sudden robbery case, and she failed to arrive in time, and was trapped at the same time. There is also Shuichi Akai... This is not something that the FBI who obeyed Shuichi Akai can do.

So there may be an FBI conspiracy in today's incident, but before that, everything must be under Uzo's control.

Thinking of this, Belmod's wanton murderous aura subsided slightly: "..." Then the question comes back again, what exactly does Uzo want to do?

…

Under Belmod's increasingly calm gaze and Mao Lilan's increasingly bright smile, the current male lead, Kudo Shinichi, hugged his heroine and gradually began to sweat profusely.

The stalemate lasted too long, and the audience gradually began to react.

Judy came back to her senses, and hugged him as planned while wondering: the "Knight in Black" wore a helmet that covered the upper half of his face, with only his mouth and nose exposed. Judy only felt that the exposed lower half of his face was different from The "new doctor" was different, but soon, she thought of another possibility.

——Perhaps the presence of this helmet caused Belmod's disguise to become slightly deformed.

After all, the Witch with a Thousand Faces was opposite her, so it wouldn't be strange to see her with any face. Visual judgment is inaccurate. Only by taking the opportunity to pinch the opponent's body to see if there is any disguise can you determine who the guy opposite is.

With this thought in mind, Judy moved her hands and found a testing angle.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to pinch him secretly, the "Knight in Black" on the opposite side suddenly got excited and took a step back, looking frightened and confused as if he was hiding from a ghost.

Judy: "...?"

What's going on? Did this woman find out that the FBI was involved in this matter, so she wanted to turn around and run away? ...This is too composure, it’s not like Belmod’s style of acting.

But before that, there seems to be another thing that needs to be dealt with.

Judy faced the scorching gazes of the audience: "..." Although acting is not her main job, let alone her hobby, being stared at by so many people... is really sweaty.

But the guy in charge of the scene in front of me still looked like he was not in the right state.

Judy sighed inwardly and took two steps forward dedicatedly, trying to create a love atmosphere in which the heroine bravely pursues love and the hero is tangled in his heart.

However, who would have thought that it would be okay if she didn't move. When she moved, it was like stepping on some switch. The "Knight in Black" who was supposed to be cool took a few steps back, as if the person in front of him was not a beautiful white man. A woman in a skirt, but a terrifying female ghost in white.

Judy: "..."

...What is this person doing? He can’t act anymore!

Wait, speaking of which, isn’t this guy’s change in attitude too big? He was calm and confident before, but it seems that after he turned around and saw her, his attitude suddenly changed...

Something fishy!

Judy became suspicious. She suddenly rushed forward and grabbed the guy who was retreating in panic.

The heroic FBI held down the thumping rookie and was about to lift off his helmet to see what was inside. However, at this moment, a piercing scream came from the audience, suddenly breaking the stage. Weird atmosphere.

"ah--!!"

"?!" I had heard this kind of cry too many times recently. Judy was startled and suddenly turned her head to look at the audience.

The person whose arm she held was also startled. Ben Ben looked towards the place where the scream came from, as if he wanted to run there.

Judy caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye: "..." Why does this feel a bit like Jiang Xia?

...But this face looks different from Jiang Xia's, and there is no need for Jiang Xia to run when he sees her. She is not a terrible pervert, she is a cheerful foreign teacher that everyone loves.

Judy was confused for a moment, but soon her attention was drawn to the bottom of the stage.

——At some point, a space became vacant in the originally tidy auditorium.

Looking down from the stage, you can see a tall, thin man lying on the ground, with an empty paper cup falling on his hand.
