Chapter 39: Sera Masumi's suspicion

In the blink of an eye, February 11th came, the day when the stage play "The Lost City Detective, Voice of the Dead" was performed in public for the first time.

The famous detective Mouri Kogoro, with his daughter Mourilan,

And Edogawa Conan, who was staying at his house, took a taxi to the Imperial Theater in Chiyoda Ward.

The three of them met up with two of Mao Lilan's classmates, Sera Masumi and Suzuki Sonoko, and then walked towards the Imperial Theater together.

Arriving at the ticket check-in area,

Mouri Kogoro glanced at the huge queue at the door, and couldn't help but show an impatient look on his face.

"I'm telling you, we should have come earlier. It takes ten minutes to line up to check in, right?"

"Dad, even if you came early, you wouldn't be able to see Miss Yoko."

Mao Lilan ruthlessly guessed what her father was thinking.

"Who said that? Yoko-chan admires my famous detective, Moori Kogoro!"

"And this time, the organizer took the initiative to invite me. It's not easy to meet Yoko-chan!"

Mouri Kogoro said loudly and proudly.

Conan, who was standing aside with his hands in his pockets, was also a little embarrassed when he heard this.

On the day that Mouri Kogoro received the invitation, he went home and showed off how famous he was all night long.

Even through his "excellent" reasoning ability,

He deduced that Okino Yoko must have wanted to invite him to watch, but because he was embarrassed,

That’s why I asked the organizer to invite me on my behalf.

And today is the first day of public performance of the stage play.

As expected, Mouri Kogoro found the right opportunity and once again showed off in front of his daughter's two classmates.

"Boy, are you looking forward to it? Seeing my father's novel adapted into a stage play, and also starring a well-known actress."

Sera Masumi came to Conan, leaned down, and teased in his ear.

"Actually, it's okay. After all, I've already seen the ending."

"But I think this novel is quite interesting."

"Although I don't know yet how the stage play will fare, I think the tricks of this novel should allow Ms. Sera to fully enjoy the fun of reasoning, and she can compete with Ms. Quinn to find out the truth faster."

Quinn is the heroine of the "The Lost Lady" series and the detective in the novel.

"Since you said so, kid, I'm starting to look forward to it."

"After all, there are not many opportunities to purely enjoy the fun of reasoning."

Shiliang Zhenzhun also became interested after hearing this.

While waiting in line to check in, I also turned to look at the promotional poster for the stage play.

"The Lost Lady, Voice of the Dead" is a best-selling book worldwide.

Sera Masumi has heard of its name a long time ago, but has never seen it.

suddenly.

Sera's dark green eyes flickered, and then she lightly kicked Conan beside her.

"Hey kid, look at that."

"Poster, what's wrong?"

Conan was puzzled.

"Look at the high school student Sae Otani who plays the role."

Conan heard this and looked towards the poster, and then saw a familiar name.

"Akikawa Kongsuke?!"

Although nearly half a year has passed, Conan still remembers this name.

After all, this was one of the few cases where he failed to find the real culprit and wrongly accused a good person.

If it were anyone else, Conan might not care.

But Akikawa Kyusuke's extremely special experience is quite inconsistent with the profession of an artist.

"Is it really possible for a person who has been under house arrest for more than half of his life to become an artist after his mother dies?"

Sera Masumi said softly.

"It's not impossible, after all, Akikawa's appearance is quite good-looking."

"With his lack of social experience, he walked out onto the street and was spotted by a talent scout. After a few casual tricks, he was very likely to sign with an artist company."

"After all, the greatest attribute of an artist is that he is 'popular'. This should be a great attraction for Akikawa, who has always been eager to communicate with others."

Conan said.

"I can understand if I'm just an artist."

Sera Masumi frowned.

"But Akikawa can be said to be covered in injuries. It will take at least a month or two for him to recover from his injuries."

"Can he really get a role in a stage play in such a short period of time?"

"It's still the role of your father, a stage play adapted from this global best-selling work."

"And I see that the character introduced above is a high school sophomore boy. That Akikawa didn't even go to junior high school, so how did he play the role?"

"Just because you haven't been to high school doesn't mean you can play the role of a high school student. After all, Officer Takagi said at the beginning that Akikawa had a lot of rented DVDs of all kinds. He could also imagine what a high school student looks like by watching movies. "

"As for what you said Sera, whether Akikawa can get a role in the short term depends entirely on his personal talent."

"Maybe he is that kind of acting genius."

Conan's words are not groundless, because her mother Kudo Yukiko is such a person.

However, Conan's statement was not able to completely convince Sera Masumi.

"You and I have seen Akikawa look like in the ward before. Let alone his acting skills, he looks like a child."

"Any emotion in his heart was almost instantly revealed on his face."

"If you say that Akikawa like this can be considered as having excellent acting talent, I cannot accept it."

Sera Masumi retorted.

"So, Ms. Sera, what you want to say is that Akikawa is actually a very good actor, and even when he faced the detective and us in the ward, he was acting?"

Conan glanced at Sera Masumi.

He saw Sera Masumi nodded solemnly.

"The real murderer of the car accident half a year ago has not been found yet."

"And you also said at the time that in addition to the real murderer being someone else, there is another possibility-"

"In fact, that Akikawa is the murderer. Everything in the ward at that time was acted out by him."

"And the real him is very good in observation, brain, and acting skills."

"Miss Sera, you want to use the fact that Akikawa has been under house arrest by his mother for many years and cannot have acting talent to prove that he originally has superb acting skills."

Sera Masumi nodded again after hearing Conan's words.

"But have you ever thought that if it is according to what you said, it must be that Akikawa who was under house arrest by his mother for more than ten years, and developed superb acting skills and criminal abilities that can deceive even detectives and criminal police."

"Is this situation more unlikely than that Akikawa simply has an acting talent that has not yet been discovered?"

Sera Masumi was stunned when he heard this.

Then Conan continued:

"Let's take a step back and assume that Akikawa really has acting skills, insight and analytical skills, and can cover up the truth of the crime to the point where you and I don't even notice it."

"Then why did he become an artist when he knew that the police couldn't find the murderer and it was impossible to close the case?"

"Isn't this equivalent to announcing to the whole of Japan that his acting skills are very good, which is inconsistent with the image he had when he was interrogated that day?"

"This kind of thing is inconsistent with the image of his smart mind that we have inferred."

Conan handed the ticket to the ticket inspector and entered the venue.

Then he heard the low voice of Seira Masumi behind him.

"I think there is another possibility that Akikawa dares to be so unscrupulous."

"That is, Akikawa is actually extremely conceited."

"He doesn't think from the bottom of his heart that you, me, and the Metropolitan Police Department can detect the truth."

"Even if he exposed the fact that he is a superb actor to everyone."

Conan heard this, and his legs suddenly felt like they were filled with lead and suddenly stopped in place.
