The Corpse Collector In Conan Chapter 990: Student in the coffin
It seemed that just in time for the rehearsal of the masquerade to end, many backstage staff flocked to the stage to clean up the aftermath.
Jiang Xia avoided the few scattered staff members as if avoiding elite monsters, and searched for a while in the background.
He gradually walked through the nave, came to the other side area, and stopped in front of a door.
This is the props room.
Jiang Xia sniffed through the door, then nodded secretly—the murderous aura that fell three days ago should be inside.
He gently opened the door, walked through various props, and finally stopped at the corner.
There is a coffin here—a low-end version of the Egyptian pharaoh's coffin, which is probably just a background prop for making up the number. It is not fancy, and its surface is old iron.
Jiang Xia looked around and saw no one, so he happily lifted the lid of the coffin.
I am about to take out the murderous reward in the "treasure box". He paused suddenly and met a pair of terrified eyes.
——In the prop coffin, there was actually a person stuffed.
And it's an acquaintance...
——Yuan Shan and Ye were tied into dumplings with hemp rope, and their mouths were also blocked. The lid of the coffin was suddenly opened, she looked at Jiang Xia outside, after a moment of silence, her eyes turned from panic to tears, twisting and struggling, muttering something, as if she saw her relatives in the wilderness.
Jiang Xia: "..."
He lifted the man out, untied the rope, and with the other hand, he quietly touched the mass of murderous spirit at the bottom of the coffin.
Before he caught him, Yuan Shan and Ye Xian grabbed his hand: "Someone is going to kill someone! —— That famous actor, he actually wants to kill someone!"
Jiang Xia: "!"
No wonder there is so much murderous intent in this theater... Since Toyama and Ye appeared here, then Hattori Heiji should be nearby.
…
Jiang Xia patted Yuan Shan and Ye on the back, and comforted him in a friendly way: "Don't worry, speak slowly—what happened?"
Yuan Shan and Ye rubbed their sore arms, slumped beside them, and sighed:
"A few days ago, Heiji received a letter of entrustment with money. The person who sent the letter was the manager of this masquerade troupe—they are going to star in the movie 'Stupid Victory' recently, and they are worried that someone will be punished for it. Bad luck, and I heard that during the rehearsal process, there were indeed suspicious situations, so I want to find a way to come and see the situation.
"I'm here to help! Who knows that Heiji actually said that I was in the way, and asked me to go shopping alone to buy special products-is this something that a person should do! Heh, I look down on people too much!" This time, the fragility and panic in her eyes disappeared, and she couldn't help but clenched her fists angrily, a piece of rope in her hand was crunched, and there was a faint powder falling from her delicate white fingers.
Jiang Xia has become accustomed to the weird combat power of this group of "weak high school girls".
While listening, he calmly closed the coffin next to him and put it back in place.
Then thoughtfully said: "What you did just now... Is there really a problem with this troupe?"
"Well! The problem is big." Yuan Shan and Ye recovered and continued:
"I couldn't be more angry, so when Heiji was watching the rehearsal at the front, I sneaked to the back to investigate.
"When I checked in this prop room, the rehearsal seemed to be over, and I heard footsteps approaching this room...that, you know, trespassing on other people's prop rooms is not very good, so I Hide.
"I thought it was the staff who stored the props who came in, but unexpectedly it was the Komazuka Hiroshi who played the 'king' in the masque - that super famous old actor!
"He stayed by the sword stand for a while, replaced a sword on it, and then muttered eeriely to the phone—"
Yuan Shan and Ye changed into an old man's vicissitudes of voice: "'Kyoko, I don't know where you have gone, but you must read the latest news—the **** who played with your feelings is about to die unexpectedly. .His sinful chest will be pierced by the sword of judgment.'”
"He must have replaced the retractable prop sword with a real sword! ——It was the last rehearsal just now, and when the real performance starts later, the prince's chest will be covered by the minister's sharp sword." 'Pierce, Komazuka Hiroshi must take this opportunity to kill the prince!"
"Before I came, I didn't expect that someone would actually kill someone. And he laughed so scary, I, I was really shocked, and accidentally knocked off a prop ball next to me. Subconsciously bent down to pick it up , he suddenly gave me a shock from behind."
"When I wake up later, I will be in the coffin." Yuan Shan and Ye touched his waist tearfully, "He actually carries an electric shock device with him, he really is not a serious person!"
Jiang Xia's eyes fluttered indistinctly: "..." To be honest, he also brought an electric shock device...
After all, this kind of thing seems to have a special attack effect on people with high force values, and can easily take down terrifying opponents across levels.
The only problem is, I don't know if this is only effective for high school girls, or if it can be used by men... If you meet Akai Shuichi some other day, you can ask "Uzo" to try it with it.
…
Jiang Xia quickly recovered, nodded as if nothing had happened, and echoed what Yuan Shan and Ye said just now: "Indeed, he must have planned it for a long time."
After a pause, he asked his classmates for their opinions: "What are you going to do next, go to Hattori first?"
Recalling the quarrel just now, Yuan Shan and Ye looked at Jiang Xia, who was an excellent helper in solving the case, and shook their heads decisively: "Don't look for it!"
After all, she is the daughter of the Chief Criminal Officer of the Osaka Prefectural Police, Toyama and Ye know some things quite well.
She rubbed her chin and said sadly: "It's just that the real and fake swords have been replaced, and nothing has happened. At this level, even the police can't deal with it. The 'king' can completely quibble." If you are old, and the props are misplaced', send the police away."
Jiang Xia nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ Then she said: "And if the matter is fooled by him, the victim 'Prince' who is targeted by him can't be vigilant, and they are performing in the same theater troupe. If it continues, there will inevitably be a murder case one day—in this case, why not make things bigger?"
"Making things bigger?" Yuan Shan and Ye Di low repeated the word. Hattori Heiji's personality is relatively straightforward, and the two of them rarely deal with incidents in a roundabout way. She looked at Jiang Xia curiously, "How to do it?"
Jiang Xia sits on the coffin opposite her, like a leisurely playwright: "I'm afraid only the person concerned will really care about such a big or small thing as 'making a mistake with the real and fake sword' - playing that" Who is the prince whose chest was pierced by a sword?"
"It's Robert." Yuan Shan and Ye were deeply impressed by this little fresh meat actor - not all because of his handsome looks, but because he has very pink hair, which I heard was natural and also I don't know where it came from. It's a wonderful bloodline.
Hearing Jiang Xia's words, her eyes lit up: "I know the location of his lounge, I passed by there when I came here."
