Since the economic recovery, Xiliu, as a joint development area led by the seven major consortiums, can be said to be full of buildings and has become a new urban tourist attraction.

At present, the tallest building is controlled by Liangfangzi Club invested by Yujing Consortium and Singapore government, with a height of 215.75 meters.

The Suzuki Foundation has an art plaza. The current main body is an art gallery and two comprehensive commercial buildings. Because the art gallery was harassed by Kidd last time, its popularity has greatly increased.

The Good Mood Foundation has a station building square, Xiliu Square Station, the 14th station of the Mihua Underground Circular Line. The main body is the station building of Xiliu Square Station and the surrounding seven high-end rental residential buildings. The Xiliu Grand Theater is next to the station building. , is part of the square.

At noon, Haibara brought Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko to join Conan. Of course, there was only one purpose, to have lunch.

The five members of the Boy Detective Team went out with Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, Lan, and Yuanzi. Unless it was a chartered plane or car, they all had to pay their own travel expenses; accommodation was usually paid by each person, and personal items such as snacks were paid by themselves.

To eat, you can either order and eat by yourself, and after eating your own food, you can eat the food ordered by Yamazaki, Meidaizi, Lan, and Yuanzi; or you can accept the arrangement of Yamazaki, Meidaizi, Lan, and Yuanzi and eat with your eyes closed. . ...

Lunch was held at Yuanzi's hotel, Chinese cuisine, and Mei Daizi ordered an extra suckling pig instead of steak.

Afterwards, the group first went to deliver a bento to Maori, and then continued shopping.

Before dinner, Dr. Ali rushed to the meeting with a backpack, which was made in the laboratory, and it was a secret weapon to deal with Kaitou Kidd. ...

After dinner at the hotel in Xiliu Square Station Building, Yamazaki and his party entered the Xiliu Grand Theater with tickets, Dr. Ali, Lan, Sonoko, Mei Daiko, Kazuha, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Yuanta nine people Entering the private room to watch the show, Yamazaki, Hattori, and Conan went to deliver a bento to Maori, and then started working to protect the jewel and arrest Kidd.

Since the Nakamori Police Department couldn't make up their minds, they could only act according to Maori's method, put on costumes as extras, and wait on the stage for the last moment.

Maori always kept his reasoning in mind. Kidd must have planned to pretend to be Napoleon the Conqueror. When the stage play ended successfully and was applauded by the audience, he seized the Gem of Destiny. At that time, he wanted to capture Kaitou Kidd. best time.

Hattori and Yamazaki couldn't come up with a better way, so they could only change into a monk's uniform in a funny way.

Conan decides to act alone, with the secret weapon in hand, he must not let the Kaitou Kidd run away again. ...

Xiliu Grand Theater.

There is more than one theater in the theater. "Empress Josephine" is performed in a large theater that can accommodate more than 3,000 people. Mei Daizi and Yuanzi booked two large private rooms at the beginning. One room for Daiko, one room for Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Genta, and Dr. Ari.

Soon, the performance of the stage play "Empress Josephine" began in the eyes of everyone. The life of Empress Josephine was described in this play, and the version with cheating behavior was selected, which was more in line with the gossip taste of ordinary citizens.

The last scene is the memory of Empress Josephine before her death, recalling the most glorious moment in her life when Napoleon and herself were crowned emperor and empress of Rome by the Pope.

Headed by the Nakamori Police Department, Mori, Yamazaki, Hattori and others dressed up as the priests next to the Pope and the foil on the stage.

When going on stage, in addition to costumes, makeup is also required. This is Mu Shuli's insistence. On her stage today, there must be no flaws.

So, everyone accepted the makeup with a bitter face, and the most troublesome person was Hattori, because he was too dark and needed to be whitened.

It happened that Mu Shuli was on the stage, Sakai Natsuki had time, and Yamazaki was assigned to Mu Shuli's dressing room.

Powder room in Mushu.

After sitting down, Yamazaki felt that something was wrong with Sakai Natsuki, and she could feel danger from her.

Looking at Sakai Natsuki beside him in the mirror, Yamazaki tentatively asked, "Could it be that you were the culprit who killed Ms. Mujuri?"

Sakai Natsuki was stunned, and this reaction made Yamazaki confirm that his guess was correct.

"Are you from the Mori Detective Agency?" Sakai Natsuki continued working.

"Yes, trainee there." Yamazaki said.

Sakai Natsuki said: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you and your sister for saving us on the plane."

"We are also on the plane, so it is self-help." Yamazaki said, and then asked, "Is that also your handwriting?"

"How should I put it?" Sakai Natsuki sighed, "I never thought that Ms. Mu Shuli would run into the cockpit, poison the two pilots indirectly, and then be struck by lightning to save them from the plane that landed nearby. "

"Why did you tell me this?" Yamazaki had a bad feeling.

Natsuki Sakai chuckled and said, "Originally, I planned to bring these things down, but I didn't expect to meet you just in time."

"You want to die?" Yamazaki asked with a frown, "Why?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Sakai Natsuki said, "The aviation accident investigation team will definitely be able to find me through the cosmetics left in the fingerprints of Ms. I, the instigator, will not end well either."

"The responsibility for this problem is not on you alone. You only targeted Ms. Mu Shuli. Now she is still alive, and there are no casualties on the plane." Yamazaki said, "Maybe you can fight for an execution hesitation."

"No need." Sakai Natsuki smiled, "Another reason why I thank you is that it gave me the opportunity to fulfill my wish."

Yamazaki was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Fortunately, it wasn't to save you at the time, so I don't have to worry about your murder."

"I'm sorry, I failed your good intentions and made you embarrassed." Natsuki Sakai said, "However, I have my position."

"I understand." Yamazaki asked, "Speaking of which, what you said just now means that you have already done it?"

"To be honest, I really admire her now." Sakai Natsuki said with a smile, "I confessed everything to her before, including poisoning her body, and I told her that if she went to the hospital, she would Maybe there is still salvation, but she chose to perform."

"Really?" Yamazaki was a little surprised, "Would you rather die on the stage?"

"Yes," Sakai Natsuki said with emotion, "Although I want to think of her this way, she invested a lot of money in this stage play to make it perfect, and owed a considerable amount of debt. If she succeeds, her end might be worse than death, but seeing her on the stage, completely unaffected, devoting herself to the performance, I have to admire her dedication to her career."

Yamazaki asked: "So, she is really hopeless?"

"It should be," Sakai Natsuki said, "If you respect her, don't interrupt her performance. She must really regard herself as Queen Josephine now, although it is only the Queen Josephine in the drama, But in the last scene, she might think of herself as the present Empress Josephine, and dying in glory is also a perfect way to die."

Yamazaki said with a wry smile: "Maybe saving her life and making her hate me is also a good choice, but I respect her decision."

"Perhaps at this moment, Mu Shuli is dead, and the one who is alive is Queen Josephine," Sakai Natsuki said with a smile, "Queen Josephine will take Mu Shuli's body and sleep again."

"Have you watched too many movies?" Yamazaki asked helplessly.

Natsuki Sakai shrugged, "I was infected by those screenwriters."

Yamazaki asked: "By the way, how did you arrange for yourself? You won't die soon, right? Then I'm going to the Metropolitan Police Department to drink tea."

"Don't worry," Sakai Natsuki said with a light smile, "I won't implicate you. After the stage play is over, I will surrender myself to the police and explain everything."

"And then commit suicide?" Yamazaki asked helplessly, "Do you have to choose this path?"

"Well, I don't want to choose this path, but if I don't take this path, which path can I go?" Said Natsuki Sakai, "I like the profession of makeup, but no one will hire me again in the future." .”

"If that's the case, I'll help you find a job." Yamazaki said, "I promise no one will discriminate against you."

"I'm sure you can help me find a job," Sakai said, "but the discrimination is not on the face."

"Well, let the police psychologist help you solve your problem." Yamazaki said, "Now, let's talk about another question, about the gem of destiny."

"What happened to the Gem of Destiny?" Sakai Natsuki said, "After the auction, part of the crew's debts should be settled."

"Huh?" Yamazaki was taken aback, "You don't want the Gem of Destiny?"

"Although I like it very much, I don't want to keep it for myself." Sakai Natsuki said with a smile, "I still like cosmetics more than gems."…
