Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 990 Classmates in the coffin

   seems to be just in time for the end of the mask drama rehearsal, and many staff in the backstage flocked to the stage to finish the aftermath.

  Jiang Xia avoided the remaining sporadic staff as if avoiding the elite monsters, and looked for a while in the background.

   He gradually passed through the central hall, came to the other side area, and stopped in front of a door.

  This is the prop room.

   Jiang Xia sniffed across the door, and nodded secretly—the murderous aura that fell three days ago should be inside.

   He gently pushed open the door, walked through the various props, and finally stopped at the corner of the wall.

  There is a coffin here - a low-profile Egyptian pharaoh coffin, probably just a background prop for making up the numbers. It is not fancy, and the surface is old and iron-colored.

   Jiang Xia looked around and saw no one, and happily lifted the lid of the coffin.

   was about to take out the murderous reward in the "treasure box". He moved suddenly and met a pair of frightened eyes.

  —In the props coffin, there is a person actually stuffed.

   And also an acquaintance…

  —Yuan Shan and Ye were tied into zongzi by the props and hemp rope, and their mouths were blocked. The coffin was suddenly opened. She looked at the river and summer outside. After a stay, she became a tear from the horror, twisted to struggle, and I said something, a went of wilderness saw a loved ones.

  Jiangxia: "…"

   He took the man out, untied the rope, and his other hand quietly touched the mass of murderous intent at the bottom of the coffin.

   Before he could be caught, Yuan Shan and Ye Xian grabbed his hand: "Someone wants to kill! - That famous actor, he actually wants to kill!"

   Jiang Xia: "!"

   No wonder this theater is so murderous... Since Toyama and Ye are here, Hattori Heiji should be nearby.

  …

   Jiang Xia patted Yuanshan and Ye on the back, and comforted him kindly: "Don't worry, speak slowly—what happened?"

   Yuan Shan and Ye rubbed their sore arms, slumped beside them, and sighed:

"The other day, Heiji received a letter of entrustment with money. The letter was sent by the manager of this masked troupe - they are going to star in the 'Stupid Victory' recently, worrying that someone will get bad luck because of it, and listening to Said that during the rehearsal process, suspicious situations did occur, so I wanted to come over to check 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 specialties - is shopping a thing that one should do alone! Oh, it's too underestimating!" Speaking of this, her eyes Her fragility and panic disappeared, she couldn't help but clenched her fist angrily, the rope in her hand creaked, and a faint powder fell from her delicate and white fingers.

   Jiang Xia was used to the strange fighting power of these "weak female high school students".

  While listening, he calmly closed the coffin next to him and returned it to its original place.

   Then he said thoughtfully: "You just...is there really something wrong with this troupe?"

   "Yeah! It's a big problem." Yuan Shan and Ye recovered and continued:

   "I couldn't be mad, so when Heiji was watching the rehearsal in front, I sneaked behind to investigate.

   "While checking in this prop room, the rehearsal seemed to be over, and I heard footsteps approaching this room... Well, you know, trespassing into someone's prop room is not good, so I hid.

   "I thought it was the staff who stored the props, but who knew it was Hiroshi Komazuka who played the 'King' in the mask drama - that super famous old actor!

   "He stayed beside the sword stand for a while, swapped out one of the swords on it, and muttered darkly to the phone—"

Yuan Shan and Ye put on the vicissitudes of an old man's tone: "'Jingzi, I don't know where you went, but you must watch the latest news - that **** who played with your feelings is about to die unexpectedly. The bosom of sin will be pierced by the sword of judgment.'"

"He must have replaced the retractable prop sword with a real sharp sword! - It was the last rehearsal just now. When the actual performance starts, the prince's chest will be pierced by the minister's 'sharp sword'. Hiroshi Komazuka must take the opportunity to kill the prince!"

"Before I came, I didn't expect that someone would actually kill someone. And he laughed so scarily, I, I was really shocked, and accidentally knocked off a prop ball next to me. I bent over to pick it up subconsciously, and he just Suddenly, you called me from behind."

   "When I wake up later, I'll be in the coffin." Yuan Shan and Ye rubbed their waists with tears in their eyes, "To actually carry an electric shock with him, he really isn't a serious person!"

   Jiang Xia's eyes flickered imperceptibly: "..." To be honest, he also brought an electric shock...

   After all, this kind of thing seems to have a special attack effect on people with high force values, and can easily knock down terrifying opponents across levels.

  The only problem is that I don't know if this is only valid for high school girls, or if it can be used by men... If you meet Shuichi Akai another day, you can ask "Uzo" to try it with him.

  …

   Jiang Xia quickly recovered, nodded casually, and echoed what Yuan Shan and Ye had just said: "Indeed, he must have been planning for a long time."

   After a pause, he deliberately asked his classmates for their opinions: "What are you going to do next, go to Hattori first?"

   Yuanshan and Ye remembered the quarrel just now, and looked at the side, Jiang Xia, an excellent helper in solving the case, and shook their heads decisively: "No!"

   After all, she is the daughter of the Osaka prefectural police chief's criminal department, and Toyama and Ye know a lot about some things.

She touched her chin and said a little sadly: "I just replaced the real and fake swords, but nothing happened. At this level, the police can't deal with it. The 'king' can completely quibble and say that he is too old. , props are in the wrong place' and so on, send the police away."

Jiang Xia nodded, and continued her words: "And if things are fooled by him, the victim 'Prince' who he is eyeing can't be vigilant, and they play in the same troupe again. If things go on like this, one day it will inevitably be There will be fatalities - if that's the case, why not make things bigger?"

   "Make things bigger?" Yuan Shan and Ye repeated the word in a low voice. Hattori Heiji's character is relatively straightforward, and the two of them don't have much time to deal with the incident in a roundabout way. She looked at Jiang Xia curiously, "How to do it specifically?"

Jiang Xia sat on the coffin opposite her, like a laid-back screenwriter: "'Making a real and fake sword wrong' is such a big and trivial matter, I am afraid that only the person concerned will really care - playing the role of 'being pierced by a sword' Who is the prince in the chest?"

"It's Robert." Yuan Shan and Ye were deeply impressed by this little fresh meat actor - it wasn't all because he was handsome, but because he had very pink hair. Where is the wonderful bloodline inherited.

   She listened to Jiang Xia's words, her eyes lit up: "I know the location of his lounge. When he came, I passed by there."
