The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 729 Mao Lilan’s Dream (2)

Qin Zhibo once searched for photos of this popular Hollywood star on the Internet, and they were exactly the same in real life as in the photos.

No wonder Mao Lilan said that she had met Sharon Wynyard, and it turned out to be here.

Now, Qin Zhibo can also look at Sharon's appearance in Mao Lilan's dream.

She has neat short blond hair, unique round-framed glasses, and a trace of aging wrinkles next to her dark red lips.

As for Sharon Wynyard, "a half-old lady, but still charming" is not an exaggeration to describe her.

It can be seen that Sharon does not pay much attention to the wrinkles on her face, nor has she done any special beauty care, such as facelift.

Time has left obvious traces on this woman, but at the same time, she exudes a mature and capable temperament that has been tested.

Beauty is different from temperament. Having beauty does not necessarily mean having temperament, especially the beauty that the world considers - Internet celebrity face, is completely contrary to the word temperament.

Temperament is a very metaphysical thing and often requires time and some experience.

For example, Yukiko is younger than Sharon and is much more cute in terms of beauty, but Yukiko is not as temperamental as Sharon.

Sharon looks like the woman of a top boss at first glance, while Yukiko looks like the woman of an ordinary boss by comparison.

This is why most nouveau riche look for young women, wishing they were decades younger than themselves to feel comfortable.

And the real top bosses and wealthy families will look for people like Sharon as their lifelong partners.

Sharon exudes a special temperament. If she attends a world-class grand banquet, she will definitely add luster to the men around her.

Qin Zhibo guessed that such an appearance would be very popular among the top wealthy Americans, as the beauty and temperament are just right.

However, based on Qin Zhibo's understanding of Sharon or Belmod, these may just be disguises.

Sharon Wynyard, Chris Wynyard, mother and daughter are actually the same person.

As for which one is the real face, Qin Zhibo’s guess is more likely to be Sharon.

After all, Sharon is older, which is more in line with her 49-year-old character card.

But given Sharon's skill in disguise, it's possible that both faces are fake.

Shock! An American Hollywood female star and her bestie have a fight in the street!

Following Sharon's appearance, people queuing up to buy tickets at the entrance of the theater immediately gathered and stood not far away to watch.

Yukiko chatted with Sharon as if no one else was around, asking Sharon how she knew she was "in trouble".

Sharon explained that the New York police officer just now was a fan of her movie. When the two were chatting just now, she heard the silver Jaguar speeding notice on the radio.

As soon as Sharon guessed that it was Yukiko's driving style, she bought a jacket of the same style as that of New York Police Commissioner Radish from a nearby store and stepped out to save the situation.

Yukiko happily accepted Sharon's favor and said, "Thank you, I love you so much."

On the other hand, Kudo Shinichi, who was sitting in the passenger seat beside him, saw his worldview collapse for the first time, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"But why can this big American star pretend to be anyone else at will?"

"Didn't I tell you before?" Yukiko pinched her waist and explained: "When I first entered the acting profession, I once hired a disguise expert to play the role of a female spy. Learn from Japanese experts.”

"At that time, Sharon also went to that place to learn skills from a teacher for the role she wanted to play, so we became good friends."

"But I'm not as powerful as her. It's easy for her to pretend to be anyone."

After hearing the explanation, Kudo Shinichi also relaxed and said with a smile: "I can assure you that my mother is best at cross-dressing, not disguise~"

Yukiko: ╬ ̄Van ̄

Faced with her son's teasing, Yukiko looked sullen and reached out to pinch Kudo Shinichi's nose.

"How dare you talk about your mother like that?"

Mao Lilan smiled and looked at the mother and son.

The atmosphere in the car was harmonious, and no one seemed to think about Sharon changing her face.

However, Qin Zhibo, who is familiar with the production process of human skin masks, knows that this is not a casual matter.

Even Kuroba Kaito can't just pull out a human skin mask.

If you want to make a specific human skin mask, you need to carve the person's face out of a plaster statue in advance to make a human skin mask that cannot be seen through.

In other words, Sharon had made Radish's mask in advance and kept it on her body.

There is also Radixiu's jacket of the same style. It sounds like Radixiu, like Memu, is someone who wears the same style of clothes all year round.

If you don't research the brand and style of this kind of jacket, you won't be able to buy the same style just by browsing in a store.

Taken together, Sharon's plan to disguise herself as Radixiu was part of a pre-arranged plan, and it had nothing to do with whether she could help Yukiko or not.

However, at this time, Kudo Shinichi had just solved the first case in his life, and was not sensitive to the hidden dangers of possible cases around him, nor did he care about the disharmony revealed in it.

Mao Lilan in the car was still excited to see Sharon.

"It's great to meet such a famous person and meet him on the streets of New York."

"I really have to thank God!"

Mao Lilan sighed, and it began to rain lightly in the sky.

Sharon had obviously read the weather forecast. She took out a folding umbrella from her coat sleeve and raised it above her head.

Her dark lips were slightly opened and she said lightly.

"Are there really gods in this world who would show kindness to humans?"

"If it really exists, then misfortune will not happen to those of us who are working hard to live."

"At least, I can be sure that the angel who smiled heartily at me does not exist."

“Not once”

As the words fell, an elusive smile appeared on Sharon's lips.

Yukiko didn't have any special reaction to Sharon's words. Maybe she was used to Sharon lamenting that her fate was unfair.

Kudo Shinichi has half-moon eyes, and the expression on his face is very helpless.

Based on Qin Zhibo's understanding of him, he must be thinking, this female star earns so much money that she can't spend it all and is so famous. What's so unfortunate about her?

If you were unhappy, not many people in the world would be happy!

Mao Lilan was more serious and asked what this passage meant.

"It means that life itself is bitter." Yukiko rushed to answer, "That's right, Sharon?"

"Yes, my life is a series of misfortunes."

Sharon held up an umbrella and said calmly: "When I risked my life to step on the big screen, my parents died in the fire."

"The day after I won the Oscar, my husband passed away"

"When my daughter debuted, she took the opportunity to promote it."

Sharon introduced her daughter to eat her father's human blood steamed buns in order to quickly become famous. Therefore, she severed the mother-daughter relationship and has since died.

The melon-eating trio in the car looked fascinated.

But Qin Zhibo knew that this was actually a story made up so that the identities of Sharon and Chris would never appear at the same time.

As for the death of his parents in the fire and the death of his husband, they should all be deliberately created stories.

Beautiful, strong and tragic characters are both indispensable.

After chatting for a while at the entrance of the theater, everyone finally parked their cars in the parking lot and followed Sharon to visit the backstage of the performance.

Since Qin Zhibo is in Mao Lilan's dream, he can only follow Mao Lilan's perspective and cannot move freely.

Sharon opened the door of the backstage dressing room. The three female stage actors had already changed their costumes and were fixing their makeup.

Dark-skinned actor: "It's Sharon! You really came to our show!"

Asian-faced actor: “I never thought that what our leader said would come true one day!”

The blonde, wavy-haired actor: "It's amazing, it's like a dream!"

The three actresses had different appearances. When they saw Sharon, they all got close to her like little fans.

Sharon briefly spoke to the three of them and then introduced Yukiko behind her.

Yukiko is also somewhat famous in the United States, not because of her status as a Japanese actress, but because of Kudo Yusaku.

The Night Baron, the character in Yusaku Kudo's novels, is world-famous. Because this character's identity has not yet been revealed, fans all over the world regard Kudo Yusaku himself as the Night Baron.

In this way, Yukiko is naturally the "Baroness of the Night".

In addition, Yukiko is a serious social worker. She has stopped acting but continues to do variety shows. She often replaces Kudo Yusaku to "show" her reasoning ability on TV.

Of course, Yukiko's reasoning was all stolen from her husband. As long as there is a little bit of originality, it will not be completely original.

Yukiko whispered to the actresses to introduce Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan behind them, but since this was Mao Lilan's dream, Mao Lilan couldn't hear it, and Qin Zhibo couldn't hear it either.

While these people were communicating eagerly, discordant sounds came from the side.

"What a pity. I thought His Excellency the Baron came in person and could untie that strange gift."

"I didn't expect that it was just the Baroness and her children who came backstage to watch the fun. It's really disappointing."

The woman has long straight golden hair with curved eyebrows, and delicate makeup on her face. She seems to be one of the actors about to take the stage.

However, this blonde straight-haired woman is different from other actors. She does not move forward when facing a celebrity like Sharon, so Mao Lilan did not notice her, and Qin Zhibo did not see her either.

"What strange gift are you talking about?" Kudo Shinichi asked with a serious face.

On the plane to New York, he experienced the thrill of reasoning a case for the first time. Of course he would enjoy it if he had the chance this time.

Next to her, Sharon explained: "Just three days before the opening of this theater, I received a gift."

"It was an apple spray-painted with gold. On the golden apple was written the words 'Dedicated to the Great King' in the blood of some kind of animal. Such strange words."

"The great king?" Kudo Shinichi looked puzzled.

Sharon explained again, "This may have something to do with the troupe's signature play, The King in Yellow."

"This play was adapted from a play written by a French playwright in 1895. The original work was banned by the French government immediately after its publication."

"The adapted version of "The King in Yellow" was re-interpreted on Broadway and was very popular, especially the "King in Yellow"."

At this moment, a handsome man with blond hair, blue eyes and a tall figure walked in from the door.

"Okay, ladies, please don't worry, it must be a prank by some boring guy."

"But, Keith"

The man was wearing a gorgeous prince-sized uniform and started talking to several actresses.

Yukiko asked curiously: "Who is he?"

Sharon crossed her arms, "He is the lead actor of this troupe, Keith Flockhard. But he was asked to act in a movie before, so today should be his last performance."

Qin Zhibo silently observed the people in the dressing room from the perspective of a non-existent person. He counted with his fingers and felt that someone would die next.

There are four women and one man. If it is to play "The King in Yellow", the number of actresses will obviously be one more.

Is this a hint that one of the actresses will die?

If this is the case, Qin Zhibo thinks that the unsociable Jin Changzhi is the most likely.

Next, there are still 40 minutes until the show starts.

The leading actors, four men and one woman, took Sharon, Yukiko and others to visit backstage.

Yukiko was a little worried, worried about delaying these people from performing on stage.

However, Sharon said there was nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry. In the first 20 minutes, a narration will lead the audience to create the stage atmosphere, introduce the background of the Kingdom of Iti, and recite some poems about Carcosa."

A few people were walking when Mao Lilan suddenly looked up at the ceiling. There were pieces of gorgeous costumes hanging in the shadows, which looked a bit scary.

"What's that on the ceiling?"

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan was not frightened and asked in a very normal tone.

"Ah, the costumes for that performance were hanging on top because they took up too much space."

As soon as Sharon finished speaking, one of the iron armor costumes on the ceiling suddenly fell and went straight to the crowd.

Everyone reacted well and immediately dispersed, except for the wavy-haired actress whose skirt was caught on the sign on the wall and could not escape.

At the critical moment when the armor was about to fall down, Mao Lilan immediately rushed over and knocked the person down.

The armor just fell down and hit the floor.

The blonde wavy-haired girl escaped unharmed but was greatly frightened and kept shouting that someone was trying to kill her.

The actor named "Keith" went to investigate and found that the rope holding the armor was broken. He laughed and said, "You think too much. It's just because the rope is too old that it broke."

Qin Zhibo walked over and took a look at the rope, knowing that things were not that simple.

The cross section of the rope was clean and obviously cut artificially.

Kudo Shinichi, who had the same idea, stood aside with a solemn expression.

Several other female leads also lamented that it was the troupe's mascot, a golden mirror, that saved the wavy-haired actress, but Sharon stopped them.

"Have you made a mistake? What you want to thank is not the mirror, but this girl, right?"

After Sharon said this, the rescued wavy-haired actor remembered to thank Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan smiled and said it didn't matter in broken English, but her arm was actually scratched by the floor the moment she fell down.

Sharon handed her light pink handkerchief to Mao Lilan and said that if angels really existed, she would not be hurt.

Time passed quickly, and several people were getting ready to go on stage.

But just when the show was about to officially start, Sharon waved her hand and said that she would not watch the show anymore.

"That King in Yellow is really interesting"

"But something suddenly occurred to me. I'm afraid there will be an unprecedented storm tonight."

"I'll leave first if I have something to do"

After saying that, Sharon "went home to collect her clothes."

Thanks to Flame Envoy for the reward!
