Conan's Corpse Picker

Chapter 992 Strange Murderous Aura Increased

Yuan Shan and Ye stayed at the door for a short time.

At this time, in the props room, Robert had already put the real sword back on the sword stand.

Then he tore off his collar and began to take off his costume.

……

Outside the door, Jiang Xia patted Yuan Shan and Ye lightly.

Yuan Shan and Ye came back to their senses, and before Robert found them, they left the door of the props room lightly and turned into the side road.

Yuan Shan and Ye slowly came back to their senses, this was completely different from the "easy solution to the problem" she imagined, she grabbed Jiang Xia: "What should I do!"

Jiang Xia recovered from the wonderful smells of various murderous auras, showing a serious expression:

"I have to remind that 'minister' again - I have to let them know that someone wants to kill me, so that I can avoid being poisoned in the future."

"...Okay." Yuan Shan and Ye deeply felt that they shouldered a heavy responsibility—to form a team with Jiang Xia, they suddenly experienced the heaviness of being detectives.

……

Soon, the door of the props room opened and closed.

Robert, who plays "Prince," goes from there.

Jiang Xia, Yuan Shan and Ye quietly followed.

Robert was so proud of himself at this time that he didn't realize that there were two little tails falling behind him.

He came to the door of Yabuki Atsushi's lounge, knocked on the door, and walked in.

In this masquerade, "the minister and the prince were instigated by the king and died together. When the king celebrated with wine, he was poisoned by the minister's poisoned wine".

Atsushi Yabuki played the role of minister.This is also the least outstanding of the three roles.

……

But at this time, Yabuki Atsushi didn't show humility when facing Robert, who is superior to himself in the play - because he is rich and he is Robert's creditor.

"Mr. Yabuki, I really don't have enough money, can you give me a few more months?"

Robert carefully picked up the prince's costume, and handed it to Yabuki Atsushi as if offering a treasure: "As an interest, I am willing to give you the role of 'Prince'—I always think you are very talented, but you lack one performance Opportunity!"

He had a humble smile on his face, but there was already a sinister grin in his heart: I don't know who made a mistake with the real and fake swords used in duels.The fake sword that would have shrunk was replaced with a real sword that could actually pierce the heart.In "Stupid Victory", the way the prince died was pierced by the sword.

In other words, whoever takes the role of "Prince" will be stabbed to death with a sharp sword later - goodbye, bastard creditor!

……

On the opposite side, Yabuki Atsushi frowned and looked at the "Prince" costume for a while, and he lived up to Robert's expectations.

He snorted coldly, reached out to take those clothes, then threw his "minister" clothes to Robert, and said alms: "At most, you will have another month's grace."

What Robert said just now, "There is only one opportunity to express", spoke to Atsushi Yabuki's heart.

——Anyway, masquerade is a kind of mime, and the characters all wear masks, so it is impossible to tell who is who on stage.

When everything is over, the audience will be surprised to see that the charming "prince" is actually Atsushi Yabuki.

……

Robert achieved his goal and left in a good mood wearing the minister's costume.

Wait for him to go away.

In the corridor a few meters away, two heads poked out against the wall.

Jiang Xia, Yuan Shan and Ye looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Then they quietly came to Yabuki Atsushi gate, Toyama and Ye took a deep breath, intending to repeat the conversation of "the sword in the prop room was changed" just now.

However, he didn't wait to speak.Suddenly there was a happy laugh in the room.

Yabuki Atsushi said to himself: "Wonderful, wonderful. Double happiness!"

Yuan Shan and Ye happened to pass by the door.

She glanced into the room curiously, and saw the "poor man who was about to be killed" reached into his bag and took out a bottle of wine and a syringe.The syringe is filled with clear liquid.

Yuan Shanhe Ye: "?"

She suddenly had a bad premonition.

In the next second, Atsushi Yabuki tilted the wine bottle over, stuck a syringe into the cork, and slowly dripped the liquid inside.

While dripping, he muttered in relief: "Oh, my poison can kill even an elephant. Bastard old man, send me to hell! Hahahaha!"

Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned.

Jiang Xia took two steps and found that she hadn't followed, so she turned around and led the person away, lest Atsushi Yabuki went out and ran into her.

……

Hiding all the way into the corner, Yuan Shan and Ye came back to their senses, and murmured: "...Is there really a curse?"

Jiang Xia is already very proficient in the lines of the detectives, he shook his head in a low voice: "It's the curse of people's hearts."

"Oh." Yuan Shan and Ye sighed together with him.

Sighing again, this immature female high school student immediately backed up at the thought of someone being poisoned by "the wine that can poison an elephant".

Without Jiang Xia's teaching, she already said very clearly: "Let's go to Komazuka Hiroshi! Fortunately, there are only three people, the last one, so it's not a big problem. Well, probably..."

—— Hiroshi Komazuka in "Stupid Victory", playing the king.He happens to be an "old man", and he happens to be the most likely to be "poisoned to death". The person Yabuki Atsushi wants to poison should be him.

……

The two high school students guessed right: Yabuki Atsushi injected the poison, quickly took the bottle of poisoned wine, and went straight to Komazuka Hiroshi's lounge.

"Mr. Komazuka." The moment he entered the lounge, Yabuki Atsushi's sinister expression instantly turned into a humble smile.

He bowed and presented the exquisitely packaged red wine: "The performance is about to start. Thanks to your guidance, I have been able to get to where I am today. This small gift is not a respect. I hope that we can cooperate happily when the official performance is held later. "

"Cooperate? Hmph, you deserve to cooperate with me? ——I don't know which unscrupulous bastard put you, a rich second generation with no acting skills, into the crew."

Komazuka Hiroshi is obviously quite harsh on Yabuki Atsushi.However, he couldn't help swallowing when he heard the sound of red wine shaking in the bottle—he had always been a heavy drinker.

I was about to accept this gift "reluctantly", and then poured a small cup to satisfy my greed.

But just reached out.

Suddenly, a female voice came from outside the door, as if it was a staff member: "Mr. Komazuka, the show is about to begin. How are you preparing? Robert and Mr. Yabuki are both playing roles in this play for the first time. Please bring more of them on stage."

"..." Hiroshi Komazuka didn't recognize this strange voice. He had to deal with various staff frequently, so he didn't have time to memorize the faces and voices of every little ant.

If it was normal, someone taught him how to do things like this, he would probably slap the table on the spot.

But this time... the reminder sounded cute.

And Komazuka Hiroshi happened to be a little guilty.

——A qualified actor should never drink alcohol before going on stage.He almost couldn't resist the temptation to break this important default rule because of his alcohol addiction.

Chapter 993 A Gift From Gin

Komazuka Hiroshi withdrew his hand reaching for the wine bottle, and replied in a rare way: "Okay, I see."

At the door, a series of footsteps left quickly.

……

Lovely female staff a walk away.

Komazuka Hiroshi turned his head to look at Yabuki Atsushi, and snorted coldly:

"Take your wine and roll as far as you can! I quit drinking a long time ago.

"If you have time to please me, why don't you spend more time reading the script --- when the performance starts, don't embarrass me like a rehearsal!"

"..." Atsushi Yabuki never expected that a well-planned plan would come to naught, and he would be ridiculed again.

He gritted his teeth, tried hard to control the killing intent in his heart, bowed, turned and left with the wine.

……

Before the murderous group went out, Jiang Xia slackened his hands and walked towards the side road.

Yuan Shan and Ye Zheng were waiting there.

Seeing Jiang Xia approaching, she quickly pulled him in, and asked anxiously in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Jiang Xia shook her head: "Komazuka Hiroshi didn't drink. Yabuki Atsushi took the poisoned wine away again."

"Great!" Yuan Shan and Ye Zheng felt that they had accomplished another good deed.

But at this moment, looking at Jiang Xia's expression, she gradually realized that something was wrong, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"He took the wine away." Jiang Xia repeated what he said just now, and sighed, "It's fine if he intends to destroy it. But if he intends to reuse it..."

……

Just as he was speaking, the door of the lounge clicked, and Atsushi Yabuki came out from it.

Jiang Xia stopped speaking.

Toyama and Ye pricked up their ears, listening carefully to the direction Yabuki Atsushi was leaving.

Then I was surprised to find that the footsteps did not go to Yabuki Atsushi's lounge, but went all the way to the props room.

"..." Props room...

Yuan Shan and Ye suddenly understood Jiang Xia's meaning just now, and couldn't help whispering: "In the prop room, there is a flagon for masquerade! He wants to pour poisonous wine into that flagon?!"

——In the last scene of the play "Stupid Victory", the king happily poured himself a glass of wine after seeing the death of two confidantes, and drank it leisurely as a mastermind behind the scenes.Then poisoned and fell to the ground.

In addition to the real sword, the lifting platform that Robert operated for a long time...

……

Yuan Shan and Ye thought of the murderous intentions everywhere in this theater, everyone was numb, and silently covered their faces: "You detectives, do you usually work so hard?"

"It's good to get used to it." Jiang Xia didn't seem anxious at all, but comforted her, "It's actually a very fulfilling thing to make people who are full of murderous intentions unable to succeed."
