Chapter 485: The Event of the Sacrifice

Sunday, August 10, Maori Detective Agency.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Mori came over, greeted Yamazaki, and went to the Metropolitan Police Department to report. ...

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Miyamoto's house.

Mei Daizi, who had just had breakfast and lunch, called Mingji, "Sister, is the mountaineering club at Mihua University my invincible girl club?"

"Yes, the Mihua University Mountaineering Club belongs to our club and is a member of the Mihua University Tourism Club under the Ministry of Tourism." Mingji said, "Mountain disasters rarely happen, but no one can prevent it from happening. Last time The accident, they encountered during an expedition mountaineering organized by themselves, that is, climbing in a place with little smoke. We do not advocate this kind of thing, but we do not stop them, and we cannot stop them. They are all adults, no matter what Right or wrong, all responsibility is on your own. For the rescue work, we provided two helicopters."

"How do you know what I want to ask?" Mei Daizi asked suspiciously, "It wasn't published in the morning paper?"

"The police notified the school this morning, and I learned about it from the school." Mingji smiled, "And the news flash this morning was also broadcast."

"So that's the case." Mei Daizi asked, "Then what about that bad guy?"

"You mean the deceased, Mr. Ikuta Yoshiro? As far as I know, he did abandon Ms. Toda Keiko, who had injured her feet and was unable to move in the mountain disaster. But when the disaster is imminent, no one can blame others for their survival. Ms. Keiko, neither of them may see the rescue team. However, Mr. Ikuta's cognition of this matter is slightly different from what Mr. Takeno Koji said. The report of the psychological expert pointed out that in Mr. I feel guilty about abandoning Ms. Toda during the mountain disaster and possibly causing her death. So I just lowered his rank." Mingji said, "It's just a kind of thing he said. It's just an act of making excuses for past mistakes. The louder you speak and the more proud you laugh, it just shows that Mr. Ikuta cares more. And he has never said such things in front of Mr. Takeno, which also shows that he is scrupulous Mr. Takeno’s feelings. He has been staying in the mountaineering club and beside the frustrated Mr. Takeno, probably because he wanted to help Mr. Takeno get out of his frustration, and to some extent it is also a kind of atonement.”

Mei Daizi said: "So, he is not such a bad person."

"Any more questions, my President?" Mingji asked with a smile.

"It's gone." Mei Daizi smiled, "Goodbye, sister."

"Goodbye." Mingji smiled. ...

Noon, Maori Detective Agency.

Not long after Yamazaki came home after having lunch, a client came to the door. The client wears glasses, has long hair and some sideburns, and looks thirty-seven or eight years old.

The client was surprised by the ages of Yamazaki and Ran, so he automatically ignored Conan's age and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Mori Detective Agency?"

"Yes, Uncle Maori went to the Metropolitan Police Department to do something. I am his assistant, Yamazaki. If you have any questions, you can talk to me first." Yamazaki said, "Please sit down."

"Since Mr. Maori is not here, I won't sit down." The client said, "My name is Kazuo Motoki, and I am the president and director of the Motoki Theater Club. Currently, our club is rehearsing at the Mihua Art Theater. I don't have much Please let the Maori detective come to the Mihua Art Theater when you come back, can you?"

"Of course, that's no problem," Yamazaki said.

Not long after Motoki and Nan left,

Maori came back, and after leaving a note to Lan and Conan who went shopping, he took Yamazaki to the Mihua Art Theater.

Not long after, Lan and Conan came back, and Lan complained after reading the note: "Really, I still want to go to the rehearsal."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and an old voice asked, "What rehearsal is it?"

Lan and Conan saw that it was an old man with a beard that grew to his chest knocking on the open door. The old man's hair and eyebrows are all white, and his longevity eyebrows are more than five centimeters, but his face is rosy and he looks very energetic.

Lan asked, "Excuse me, are you here for my father, Maori detective?"

"That's right, but I'm not here to make an entrustment." The old gentleman walked in and looked around, while smiling, "I'm here to see my apprentice who has been very active recently."

"Apprentice?" Lan asked in surprise, "Are you Mr. Shiota Heihachiro?"

Shiota Heihachiro? Conan wondered in surprise, could it be the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes from Japan.

"Yes, this firm is not bad." Shiota Heihachiro smiled, and then said to Lan, "Your father used to be a muddle-headed idiot. Whether he was a criminal policeman or a detective, he often asked me, a teacher, to help him deal with the aftermath. .But it's been getting more and more famous around the time, so come check it out."

It won't be seen, will it? Conan felt a little headache.

"Please take a seat. My father has gone to the Mihua Art Theater to deal with the commission." Lan said.

"The commission of Mihua Art Theater?" Shiota Heihachiro's eyes lit up, "It seems that someone is in danger, we can't just ignore it." He said and left.

Lan and Conan followed, and Conan thought, great, now he can see the reasoning of the legendary famous detective. ...

On the other side, Mihua Art Theater.

Mori, who had already recognized the main members of the drama club, took a threatening letter and sat in the middle front row of the auditorium, talking with Motoki Kazuo, and Yamazaki was in the left front row.

"Mr. Benmu, it says to stop the performance immediately, otherwise, you will see a horrible tragedy. It is obviously aimed at your theater company. These words should be cut from a newspaper and pasted on it. In other words, the person who wrote this letter is afraid of being recognized by you, that is to say, Mr. Motoki, the person who wrote this letter is probably someone you are familiar with." Mao Li asked, "Do you have any questions about this? impression?"

"How could I have it?" Mr. Motoki said, and then shouted to the stage, "Xiangzi is not well yet, when will the rehearsal start?"

The male staff member A on the set said: "She doesn't seem to be in that mood yet."

"Damn it, she just accepted a TV series and just became popular on TV. She started to put on airs now." Ben Muhe said masculinely, and then said to Maori, "Detective Maori, although I think it's a prank, everyone I'm still very worried, so please look into it. But don't interfere with our rehearsal."

"Really, I'm just looking for psychological comfort." Mao Li said angrily.

"This is the incident." Conan's voice appeared behind Maori.

Maori quickly looked back and found that it was Lan and Conan, so he asked, "Why are you here? Did you ask you to stay at home?"

"People also want to watch a stage play." Lan said, and then smiled, "Besides, this is Dad, your master brought us here."

"My master?" Mao Li was taken aback, jumped up and shouted, "No, can't he? He's here too?" He looked around as he spoke.

Conan said: "Mr. Yantian disappeared as soon as he arrived here."

Seeing Mao Li's appearance, Lan was very puzzled, but when she was about to ask, a woman's scream came from the background.

"I knew it." Maori hurriedly ran to the stairs on the left, Conan and Lan hurriedly followed, and Yamazaki also passed.

Moments later, Mouri came backstage and found Shoko Oide in the lounge, Shoko Oide was behind Shiota Heihachiro, choking Shiota Heihachiro with his arm.

Mao Li shouted: "Master, what are you doing here?"

Shoko Oide said angrily, "Just now that old man came in suddenly and touched my ass."

Shiota Heihachiro begged for mercy: "Just let me go, you see I'm already old, I won't live for a few more years."

"..." Lan and Conan were speechless and sweated at the same time.

"This perverted old man." Shoko Oide pushed Shiota Heihachiro aside.

Hitomi Sasaki came over and asked, "What's the matter, Ms. Xiangzi, is there any problem?"

"I can't take it anymore," said Shoko Oide. "Everyone here is against me. The most outrageous thing is that bad director. When will it be my turn for an actor like me to guide me in the show. Besides Besides, what do you want me to partner with the boyfriend who broke up." Then he shouted to the onlookers blocking the door, "Get out of the way." Saying that, he left from the separated crowd.

"What's going on here," Mori shouted to Shiota Heihachiro who got up immediately, "You show up as soon as you say, and you interrupt my work as soon as you come."

"That actress is not good enough." Shiota Heihachiro said in an irresponsible answer.

"What?" Molly froze.

Shiota Heihachiro continued: "The buttocks are the treasure mine of life. I just need to touch it a little to know the way of life of this person." He said and handed his paw to Lan.

"Ah! What are you doing!" Lan immediately yelled and turned around and kicked his legs.

This guy didn't come here just for this, did he? Is he really the legendary detective? Conan felt heartbroken.

"It's great to be alive." Shiota Heihachiro smiled and pulled Mori, making Mori stand in front of him. However, he found a right hand stretched out behind him, the palm turned out to block between Maori's face and Lan's feet.

Heihachiro Shiota was taken aback when he saw that his palm was not moving at all. He looked back and found that it was a young man with an ordinary face.

Shiota Heihachiro closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them in surprise, looked at Yamazaki again, then closed them again, then opened them with a frown.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Heihachiro Shiota." Yamazaki withdrew his hand and smiled, "My name is Yamazaki, Uncle Mori's assistant."

"Master!" Mori looked at Shiota Heihachiro face to face and cried out through gritted teeth.

"Don't be angry." Shiota Heihachiro said with a smile, "Only those who are calm can live a long life."

"Calm?" Mori felt his blood vessels burst, but when he was about to talk about Heihachiro Shiota again, Kazuo Motoki came over and asked the members of the drama club to go back to work quickly, and Shoko Daide was willing to act.

Shiota Heihachiro slipped away among the crowd while Maori was distracted, so Maori had to let him go and asked Yamazaki to watch him, and then started his own work, first of all, checking the props. Lan and Conan are on the back stage watching the members' background.

Yamazaki watched Shiota Heihachiro sit down in the middle front row, and then sat in the left front row where he was originally sitting.

Lan watched the members putting tape on the stage, and asked female member A, "What are you doing?"

"It's for walking around." Female member A said, "It's actually fluorescent, but now that the lights are on, you can't see it."

"This is how we decide the location during the performance." Female member B said.

At this time, the voice of the props master Guan Shunichi and Sasaki Hitomi was heard from above the stage. Conan ran over, and Ran had to follow.

Guan Wang Shunyi said: "What are you doing, you layman don't come to interfere, can you?"

"I don't want to interfere, I just want to ask you." Hitomi Sasaki said, "During the rehearsal a few days ago, this lighting lamp almost fell on Ms. Xiangzi."

Guan Wang Shunyi said: "What, you mean that I did it on purpose."

"This..." Hitomi Sasaki didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, Conan appeared, "Wow, so the top of the stage looks like this."

"Hmph, you can do whatever you want to investigate." Guan Gang Shunyi said, "Really, what are you kidding?" Then he left.

Hitomi Sasaki said, "Thank you, little brother."

Conan asked, "Has Miss Xiangzi been targeted?"

"That's right." Sasaki Hitomi said, and then said to Lan who came up, "By the way, you can't come here, it's very dangerous." He said and took Lan and Conan down.

Conan finds Mori who is checking the small props, and tells about the falling of the lighting facility.

"So, is Ms. Xiangzi being watched?" Maori touched his chin and asked Motoki Kazuo to check the lamps again.

Motoki Kazuo notified Kanban Junichi to ask him to check the lamps above the stage again, and Kanban Junichi did it.

Motoki Kazuo asked the three of them to sit down and prepare to watch the rehearsal. Mori, Ran, and Conan sat down in the front row, and Conan sat next to Heihachiro Shiota.

At nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, the rehearsal of the stage play began. It tells the story of a pair of men and women who died in love, the hero Uda Yuichi, the heroine Shoko Oide, and the maid Eiko Nakayama.

Finally, on an open-air table and chairs in the cafe, Uda Yuichi held Oide Shoko's hand and said, "Even if I really want to go to hell, I still don't want to be separated from you."

Oide Shoko said: "Me too, I am willing to accompany you to the ends of the earth."

Uda Yuichi said: "The love between us will turn into stars. Let's go to heaven together."

Lan burst into tears, while Shiota Heihachiro yawned, "It's really boring. If you really want to act in a touching drama, it's better to play a filial son."

At this time, the maid Eiko Nakayama brought water and two cups for the hero and heroine.

"Are you really willing to die?" Uda Yuichi said, "With me?" He said and took out two packs of medicine.

Taking a pack of medicine, Oide Shoko said, "As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Conan raised his triangular eyes, blushed and muttered, "It's really a bad show."

Uda Yu poured water into two cups, and then handed a cup to Ode Shoko.

The hero and heroine looked at each other affectionately, took the medicine, drank the water, and then fell down on the table. Then the lights are turned off, and the play is over.

After a while, the lights of the audience came on.

Motoki Kazuo said: "It's really great, Xiangzi, your performance today is really shocking."

Yuichi Uda sat up and said, "That's to say, even I was shocked by your acting just now." Then he found that Shoko Oide was still motionless, so he pushed, "Shoko, you are too into the show. But she pushed Oide Shoko to the ground, revealing her face covered by her hair, a lifeless pale face.

Damn it, Conan yelled in his heart, killing people in front of my eyes.

"Ah, she's dead." Maori yelled, "From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave this scene."...
