Conan’s Corpse Picker

  Chapter 1755 Chapter 1755 [Another Strange Thief]

  Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, Yoko Kinoshita seems to have gotten used to Conan's alert appearance which is different from ordinary children. It may be that she has very little contact with children, and occasionally meets a few, most of whom are child actors who are big as little ghosts. There is not enough samples of children, so she thinks that Conan's performance is still within the range of normal children.

  Jiang Xia thought casually, and said: "It's actually not difficult to figure this out."

  Conan's eyes lit up: "How to say?"

Jiang Xia squatted beside him, lowered his voice, and pointed to the screenwriter's room not far away: "Did you hear the buzzing sound of the machine? He seems to be printing the script. If you sneak in as a child to take a peek, You can immediately know the content of the script.”

   Conan was moved immediately, but he hesitated: "He won't hit me, should I put something under my clothes before going in?"

  Although Conan is fearless for the truth, he is not a **** after all. The news that the screenwriter kicked Tamanosuke Ito just now was really shocking. Conan wanted to avoid the damage as much as possible.

  Jiang Xia: "His attitude towards children is much better than that of adults. At most, he will blow your mind like he did with Ito Hui just now. You have a hard head, so it's not a big problem."

  Conan: "..." Although it sounds like Jiang Xia is praising him, it always feels like something is not right...

  But after thinking about it, Jiang Xia is at the door. Although Xiaolan has gone to take care of the siblings, she is not far from here, and she has anesthesia injections and foot-strengthening shoes... Could it be possible that the screenwriter can kill him?

  Remembering the abundant force behind him, Conan no longer hesitated. He adjusted his expression, tried his best to show a cute smile, and entered the screenwriter's room.

  The printer on the desk was running, and Conan leaned over as if nothing had happened, and squeezed his throat: "Hey~ It's amazing! The script has really been printed page by page!"

   Screenwriter: "..." What's so amazing about this, you little brat who doesn't know much.

  However, the child's praise from the heart is indeed pleasing. The screenwriter was a little proud, so he didn't drive him out immediately.

   Just as the last page was typed, Conan casually leaned over to the table and stared at the thick stack of scripts. See the title on the cover is "Itaro Patrol - Phantom Thief "Edo Boy" Chapter"

   "Phantom Thief Edo kid?"

   "Edo" is the old name of Tokyo, but the "Edo boy" here seems to refer to a single person.

The screenwriter had a good impression of this flattering kid. Seeing Conan's doubts, he explained casually: "The name 'Edo Boy' comes from a real monster thief. That guy has been very active recently and has been on the news several times. , he is the source of my script."

   "Is that so..." Conan stretched out his hand quietly, and was about to open the script to read two pages, but at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side, and the financial manager appeared out of nowhere.

  She picked up the script and said to the screenwriter: "Then I'll print it first."

   "Go." The screenwriter pressed the button, took out the disk inserted in the laptop, put it in the box and put it away.

  Conan was stunned for a moment: "Are you still using such an ancient disk?" In modern society, various technologies are parallel, but the number of people using this kind of disk is gradually decreasing. I didn't expect this trendy-looking screenwriter to be quite retro.

  The screenwriter snorted: "You little brat really cares a lot. Alright, get out of here quickly, don't delay my rest."

  …

   Conan is gone.

   Before leaving, he quietly brought a booklet from the screenwriter's room.

   "Edo boy?" In the corridor, Jiang Xia looked down at the book he brought out, "That strange thief who appeared in many places across the country?"

  Yoko Kinoshita was a little curious: "Who is that? As for the Phantom Thief, I seem to have only heard of Phantom Thief Kidd."

   "That Kidd guy is quite famous..." Conan muttered. He lowered his head and flipped through the booklet in his hand, and found that it was a collection of newspaper clippings—the screenwriter collected all the reports about "Edo Boy" and pasted them in this booklet.

Conan: "About half a year ago, from the outskirts of Tokyo, the Edo boy haunted and robbed all over the country. According to the police who chased him, he was like a thief who passed through a period drama, and he was able to escape by jumping lightly on the roof , Just like knowing how to do light work, the police couldn't keep up with his speed. So the media gave him the name 'Edo Boy', which has been used until now—this is also the theme of this troupe's filming."

Jiang Xia glanced at the stage in the distance: "In the traveling troupe, learning acrobatics and 'lightness skills' is the foundation of one's life. And this troupe happens to be on a national tour, which is almost the same as the Edo Boys... This script is very suitable for them. "

   "Indeed. Speaking of 'Edo boy', we were once investigated by the police as suspects."

  Suddenly a sweet voice came from the side.

  Jiang Xia turned her head to look over, and found that it was the actress who was rolling on the stage before.

  Shirai Lily has short, smooth and fluffy hair, and a bow ribbon is wrapped around the top of her hair. She glanced at Jiang Xia, her face turned red, and she looked away quickly, just in time to bump into Yoko Kinoshita who was looking over.

  Looking at this idol, Shirai Yuri's face instantly turned redder, and she stammered, "You, hello! I'm your fan..."

  Yoko Kinoshita remembered the actor who was like a wheel on stage before, and smiled at her: "I didn't expect that I still have such a powerful fan."

  Shirai Yuri's face turned redder.

   Well, a white and tender young woman suddenly became like a boiled crab. Jiang Xia lamented that this is the real star chaser, and followed the clues: "The screenwriter is writing the script, do you know the specific content? Is that what he wanted to write, or is your young leader wanting to act on this theme?"

Shirai Yuri came back to her senses, and tried to think about it: "The screenwriter said to write it first. After the team leader knew about it, he wanted him to change the ending, but the screenwriter still disagreed, and the two of them have been at a stalemate until now—as for the specifics? None of them told us the content."

While talking, she sighed: "I just hope that they can compile the script as soon as possible, and have time to practice in advance, so that they won't make mistakes during the performance... Sigh, in fact, the head of the group has always been very talkative and respects us. The screenwriter is usually not so persistent with his script, this time I really don't know what happened, both of them became so stubborn."

  …

  After Shirai Yuhe provided the information she knew, she got the autograph as she wished, and ran back to practice again.

  In the corridor that became quiet again, Conan glanced at Jiang Xia, and lowered his voice furtively: "What do you think?"
