The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 989: Another detective

The two soon arrived at the cultural center in Shizuoka.

When I arrived at the place, I realized that it was quite lively.

——There seems to be a drama performance today. At the entrance of the cultural center stood a huge billboard with three gorgeously dressed actors on it.

Two young men in knight attire were fighting with swords raised.

The old man in the background is sitting on a high throne, surrounded by a shadow, drinking wine and sneering.

…

Just glanced at it, and a laughing voice came from the side: "This is a popular masquerade from the 17th to the 19th century. Today's performance is johnbensoriumphoffolly. The translation is 'stupid victory'."

Jiang Xia and the Henggou Police Department turned around and saw a well-dressed woman.

The woman, dressed in a suit and skirt, nodded gracefully at them, raised her hand and pushed her glasses: "Mr. Henggou, are you still here for the last case?"

In the middle of speaking, she saw Jiang Xia who turned her head clearly, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Miss Zhishui." Henggou Police Department came back to his senses, "Your troupe is performing today? —— I wish you a smooth performance, we still have something to do, so we have to go first."

Zhishui Juanzi groaned, hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally watched Jiang Xia leave helplessly.

——Their troupe tried the masquerade "Stupid Victory" for the first time.

Although the plot of this play is good, there has always been a legend about it-from the 17th century to the present, every time it plays, at least one related person will unfortunately die.

At first, neither the director nor Shimizu Kanko paid much attention to this legend.

But during the rehearsal a while ago, there were always accidents every now and then, so they felt that it was impossible and wanted to find a detective to come over.

Unexpectedly, today, before the most critical performance, Jiang Xia would come.

However...

Shimizu Kanko sighed:

They're moving so fast they've already called in a detective. The man was in the hall, watching the last rehearsal of the play.

Now that I bring Jiang Xia there by myself, besides the Henggou police department will be unhappy, maybe the detective will also feel that the theater troupe is not optimistic about his ability...Let's forget it first.

Zhishui Juanzi shook her head, reluctantly looked away from Jiang Xia's back, and returned to the hall.

…

On the other side, Jiang Xia and the Henggou Police Department walked towards the side door.

Jiang Xia looked in the direction of the stage from a distance through the thick building wall, and always felt that the air over there was quite sweet—there seemed to be more than one murderous aura.

He remembered how the Henggou Police Department and the female agent had known each other just now, so he took a quick step and followed the Henggou Police Department who was distracted.

Then he asked casually: "That lady just now, also knows about the case three days ago?"

"Huh?" Henggou Police Department regained consciousness and nodded hesitantly, "She knew something happened there, but she didn't know the details—the rest rooms that were blocked because of the murder case were originally intended for them. The troupe used it, but now they can only go to the other side, and besides..."

Henggou police department touched his coral curly hair helplessly:

"Their director and manager learned that there had just been a murder in the lounge, so they didn't complain, but rather apologized strangely.

"We thought it was wrong. After some questioning, we found out that it seemed to be because of the 'stupid victory' they were going to play. There have been many fatal accidents in history-it is said that since the show began in the 17th century, and Among the people involved in that scene, there must be a sacrificial offering. So they actually think that this case is likely to be influenced by them... It's really superstitious."

Jiang Xia looked a lot more serious: "Have there been many fatal accidents?"

"Yes, in fact, in my opinion, this is just a pure coincidence - which drama has never had a problem.

"It's just that the overall atmosphere of the plot is very gloomy in this 'Stupid Victory', which is why it's so impressive. In the end, it was even passed down as something like a 'curse'."

The Henggou Police Department looks very materialistic.

If he didn't get goosebumps while speaking, his words would definitely be more convincing:

"I also went to watch it at the time. This drama is about a tragedy of fighting for power - a duel between a prince and a minister, who is pierced by a sword from the minister. The minister laughs and falls from the roof.

"After the two died together, the king, who was watching behind the scenes, raised his wine glass to the audience with a smile—the dispute between the minister and the prince was actually provoked by the king in order to eradicate dissidents. However, the king failed to stand up. In the end, the minister poisoned his wine, and he fell too. In the end, no one survived."

Jiang Xia: "..." This drama, in this world, seems to be quite realistic. Is it adapted from reality?

…

During the conversation, the two had reached the side door.

The Henggou Police Department opened the door, and led Jiang Xia to those lounges familiarly.

"Here it is." He took out shoe covers and gloves and handed them to Jiang Xia, "A lot of physical evidence has been taken away, and the remaining traces are not too many..."

Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang suddenly.

The Henggou Police Department looked down at the caller ID, couldn't help but twitched his forehead, and showed a look of "the dog boss is here to persecute me again"—if the boss hadn't boasted that the case could be solved in a day in order to drive away the reporters , they don't have to stress too much now...

Henggou walked to the side and picked up the phone.

Jiang Xia looked at his back, thinking: Are the police in Shizuoka County so busy?

...Maybe when there is no case in Tokyo, you can visit them nearby. Anyway, the two sides are not far away, and there is the famous Izu Beach here.

While thinking, Jiang Xia pushed open the door of the lounge, looking for possible murderous intent.

The lounge is very tidy and there are not many things. At a glance, there is nothing.

The murderous intent is not here.

The other adjacent lounges are also absent. Otherwise, at this distance, the ghosts must have brought back their killing intent.

"..." On the other side of the performing arts hall, a lot of murderous aura could be felt.

...I really want to go and have a look.

Jiang Xia retreated to the corridor, looking at the vast topographical map on the wall, he had a faint pleasant feeling of looking at a treasure map.

He was thinking, what excuse should he find for a while, and go over there for a stroll.

Seeing that the Henggou Police Department hung up the phone, came back, and apologized: "Mr. Xiao Gongshan's wife went to the police station to make trouble again~IndoMTL.com~ Now it happens to be the security strengthening month, and there are not enough manpower. Go and have a look - give me a call after you finish watching the scene, and I'll come pick you up right away!"

The young detective was taken aback.

Then nodded, as if he didn't mind the Henggou Police Department's scumbag behavior of "pick up the guests and then leave them behind": "Don't worry, I will contact you immediately if something happens."

The Henggou Police Department left gratefully.

…

Jiang Xia quietly watched him leave.

When the corridor door closed with a click, Jiang Xia turned around and left.

Go on a treasure hunt.
