Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

The members set their sights on the clown.

After the death of Captain Haneda

As the deputy commander, Saijo has to shoulder the banner of command.

In the 10 years since Cirque Sunshine was founded, the original seven people have gone away and fallen ill, and only Haneda and Saijo are left.

Can.

Even their deputy leader was thinking of quitting.

What started out as a passion gradually turned into a career, but the enthusiasm waned and the boring training day after day became a way to please the audience and make money.

Very few people can persevere.

Even Deputy Commander Saijo.

Because of some things at home, I decided to find another way out.

The clown and Sakaki stared at each other quietly for a while

He didn't recognize Sakaki, but...

But he knew Conan who often appeared in newspapers.

The sleeping child of Kogoro Mouri's family.

if he were here

It means that Kogoro Mori is probably nearby.

The clown looked around cautiously, but did not see Kogoro Mori's figure.

"Isn't the Mori Detective here?"

"Uncle is at home."

Conan said calmly:

"He didn't come to the circus."

"That's it"

The clown rolled his eyes:

"Although it would be against the rules to vandalize the scene until the police arrive."

"but"

"You all know the great detective Maori, and you must have learned a lot from him."

"I can let you go up, but you must wear safety measures."

"Cough, cough!"

He suddenly coughed violently, and the tearing sound sounded like he was coughing out his lungs.

"Deputy Commander Saijo"

One member said nervously:

"Has your pharyngitis flared up again?"

"Ahem. It's okay."

The clown swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and seemed a little uncomfortable:

"It's an old problem. I'm going to take some medicine."

"Chinatsu!"

"Teacher, I'm here."

Chinatsu, who wears a single ponytail, is not only a member of Sunshine Circus, but also a disciple of the clown, learning the essence of clown performance.

"Take this gentleman up for a look and take safety measures. I have to take some medicine."

"I understand, teacher."

The clown coughed and walked behind the scenes.

Sakaki Cheng and Conan also followed Chinatsu and came behind the curtain.

Very different from the beautifully decorated stage, there are many sundries piled up in the backstage, such as bottles, cans, cartons, brooms, and clothes.

The messy scene made those watching frown.

"Sorry, it's too messy in here."

Qianxia, ​​who was walking in front, picked up the broom that fell on the ground and said:

"Every day when the performance starts, everyone is very busy and often pile things backstage."

"We will clean it up after the show is over in the evening."

"But it will be back to normal again the next day."

She smiled silently, as if she was already used to this kind of life.

Under the leadership of Chinatsu, Sakaki and Conan came to the ladder located backstage.

The ladder is more than ten meters high and goes straight up into the darkness.

Only the top of the ladder flashed a red dot, marking the end.

"Children, don't go up there."

Chinatsu took out a strap-like rope from the debris and handed it to Sakaki:

"Fasten the safety rope."

When Sakaki Cheng tied the safety rope around his waist.

Chinatsu lifted the lock hanging from the edge of the ladder again, walked around behind Sakaki Makoto, and heard a 'click'!

"alright!"

She pulled the safety rope twice to confirm it was correct and said:

"You can climb up!"

"Sister Chinatsu, can't one person wear the safety rope used in your circus?"

Conan asked curiously:

“Looks so troublesome”

"It's really troublesome."

Chinatsu nodded:

"It's not that one person can't wear it, but if no one helps, there will be safety risks."

"Besides, the leader and the others are going to perform, if the safety rope is placed on the chest."

"It will affect performance."

During the conversation, Sakaki had already grabbed the ladder and started climbing up.

Ten meters sounds very high, but in reality it is.

It's only 5 or 6 stories high.

Sakaki Makoto, who had quick hands and feet, climbed to the top in just a few clicks.

He opened the black curtain in front of him and stepped onto the platform.

The suddenly enlightened scene, from a high position, has a panoramic view of the dynamics in the auditorium and on the stage, which gives a feeling of seeing all the mountains and small mountains at a glance.

Miss Miyano's face changed slightly when she saw her boyfriend standing on the high platform.

It's too high there.

It is very dangerous if you accidentally lose your footing and fall.

unless

As he fell, Sakaki took out his gun and shot at the ground. With the help of the bullets that bounced off, he took off lightly.

Just kidding, it’s impossible for the big devil to show off like this.

After waving to Miss Miyano and others, Sakaki turned on the flashlight on his phone and searched for the platform.

A pool of water that was about to evaporate caught his attention.

My fingers slid over the water stains, and my nose twitched

It smells cool and has no smell.

Apart from the water damage, there was nothing left on the platform except two safety ropes.

This is not surprising either.

after all

If a diving platform of this height is filled with things, there is a risk of objects falling from a height.

It's no joke if it really hits someone.

"Look at the safety rope"

With a murmur, Sakaki grabbed the rope on the edge of the platform and pulled it bit by bit.

“I actually used Wia”

For Makoto Sakaki and most people, the wire ropes that often appear in movies and TV series are not unfamiliar.

This is actually a kind of steel wire with high strength, usually only 0.6cm wide.

However,

the wire ropes used by Sunshine Circus are 1cm wide.

This just proves that Sunshine Circus is very cautious in dealing with safety issues.

In this case,

the high-altitude fall incident is worth pondering.

The rope was pulled up section by section.

Every time it was pulled up a little, Makoto Sakaki would check carefully to find strange traces.

But.

Until the lock appeared on the edge of the diving platform, he didn't see anything wrong.

Everything seemed normal.

The only place that hadn't been checked.

was the broken lock.

The moment his fingers touched the lock, Makoto Sakaki suddenly raised his eyebrows.

The fingertips were cold, just like.

holding a popsicle in his hand.

There were still some condensed water droplets on it.

While carefully observing the lock, Makoto Sakaki reached behind him and grasped the rope around his waist.

Click!

The safety rope was untied, and Makoto Sakaki held one end of the lock in his palm, feeling the temperature coming from it.

After a while

"I see."

He laughed:

"It's such a simple method"

"What a waste of time."

Crash!

At this moment, the door curtain below was lifted

Megure Jusan arrived with Takagi Wataru and a group of Metropolitan Police Department's men.

Makoto Sakaki, who already knew the criminal's modus operandi, removed the broken lock, held the ladder with both hands, and "swooshed"!

Under Conan's gaze, Makoto Sakaki made a high-altitude descent, and it only took three seconds to land on the ground.

"Did you find out anything?"

Conan asked impatiently.

"Yeah."

Makoto Sakaki walked out:

"The criminal's method is very simple."

"So simple"

"It can be seen at a glance."
