Chapter 1798: The Farce of the Magic Troupe
August 18, Friday, afternoon, Asakusa Hall, outdoor props.
Chiaki Nakagawa, Misa Uehara, the beautiful assistants of the magician Dongcheng Huanyang, and Kazuma Ishida, his disciple, left one after another. Minoru Hasegawa, the prop lifter, also quit, and left without locking the door of the prop room in anger.
This is convenient for Maoli, Yamazaki, Ran, Conan and Hondo Eisuke who are hiding outside, allowing them to easily enter the prop room.
Lan looked left and right, very excited, "Ah, this is the item box for Clone Magic."
Conan suggested: "Sister Lan, do you want to go in and try?"
Hondo Eisuke smiled and said, "The key to the magic trick is to lie on your back and bend your feet in front of you."
"Oh, I'll try." Maori lay down and asked Lan to close the lid, leaving only his head exposed. "Lie on your back and bend your feet in front of you."
Hondo Eisuke picked up the saw, "Yes, this way, it doesn't matter if the box is cut in half."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Maori yelled incoherently, sweating profusely.
"Okay," Yamazaki stopped Eisuke Hondo, "This magic requires physical flexibility, and it cannot be played by ordinary people without training."
Yamazaki opened half of the box as he said, and sure enough, Mouri's leg didn't reach his chest, but got stuck in the box.
Obviously, if Hondo Eisuke had chopped down just now, then he really had a double body skill, but he must have died so badly that he couldn't die anymore.
Conan raised his triangular eyes funnyly, really, don't be brave if you can't do it.
"Father." Queen Lan opened the box in fear.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hondo Eisuke was very embarrassed, and helped Mouri up.
"Huh, I was almost scared to death by you." Mao Li wiped off his cold sweat.
"Avatar magic, Lan, you can try it, your body will definitely do it." Yamazaki said with a smile, "A magician also needs a physical foundation. The stronger the magician, the better the physical exercise. However, due to the cost, many projects are It became a deception."
"Cheat?" Lan asked, "Blindfolded?"
"Sister Lan, for example, this throwing knife turntable magic," Conan said, "Actually, the magician didn't throw the throwing knife, but just made the throwing action."
Maori asked, "How did the flying knife appear on the turntable?"
"That's it." Conan pressed the mechanism, and flying knives appeared on the turntable where there were no flying knives. The flying knives formed a human shape, which was the assistant.
"What, that's how it is." Lan pouts.
"It's really complicated." Mao Li said, "It's more likely to cause accidents, so we must investigate carefully."
That's what I said, but everyone is a layman, and the results of the investigation can only be said, maybe probably, there is no problem, right.
Take the flying knife turntable as an example. I only know that there is a knife, but I don't know the correct position. If the position of the knife on the mechanism is one centimeter to the left, it may cause death.
Mao Li pondered: "It seems that we can only use man-marking tactics. Only by marking each of them to death can Mr. Winter City's safety be ensured."
Yamazaki said: "No way, in that case, we would be breaking the law, and we couldn't keep an eye on them all day."
Lan suggested: "Well, let's call the police. I think the members of the magic troupe are very dissatisfied with Mr. Winter City's actions."
"Well, I accepted the commission," Maori pondered, "Mr. Winter City certainly doesn't want the outside world to know, that's why the police are not allowed to intervene."
Hondo Eisuke said: "Mr. Mori, I think what Mori-san said makes sense, life is the most important thing."
Mao Li frowned and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Winter City again, ask him what he means, and see if I can convince him."...
As a result of the conversation, Winter City Huanyang rejected Mao Li's kindness,
He insisted on not agreeing to call the police, obviously because he didn't want negative news to entangle the magic group.
There is no way to do this, we can only let nature take its course, take one step at a time, and see what happens.
Since Maori took five tickets, it was equivalent to helping Yamazaki take over the task of protecting the evening performance. Yamazaki couldn't go home to work, so he had to call back.
Mei Daizi complained: "Really, watching the magic trick, brother, you sneaked away again."
Yamazaki apologized, "Sorry, it was an accident."
Mei Daizi said weakly: "Forget it, come back soon."
"That's for sure," Yamazaki said with a smile, "If there is no accident, I will definitely be able to go back before closing."
Mei Daizi smiled and said, "Hehe, with Uncle Mao Li's luck, I really don't have any hope."
"Uh," Yamazaki froze for a moment and said with a wry smile, "then don't prepare supper for me."
Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Okay, if I come back, I will share with you."
"Thanks then." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Okay, that's it, I'm hanging up the phone."
"Well, goodbye, brother." Mei Daizi smiled. ...
The five Maori settled their dinner at the ramen restaurant in the nearby Asakusa Station, then returned to the Asakusa Hall and entered the venue with tickets.
There are 1,082 seats in the Asakusa Hall, and the Maori Five are in the middle. Although the viewing angle is good, it is too far away from the stage.
So, I can only get there first, and then find someone to exchange tickets.
Before the start, they finally switched to the front row where the five were together.
Of course, it doesn't cost money. If you spend money, you don't have to worry about it. ...
When the performance started, a ferocious white tiger was pushed onto the stage, and of course it was kept in a cage.
After the curtain on the tiger cage was pulled up, the cage was lifted into the air, and then in the smoke, the curtain on the tiger cage fell down, and the magic sun of Winter City appeared in the cage, but the tiger disappeared. ...
At the end of the first half, the iron bed escaped. Above the iron bed was an iron plate, and the side facing the iron bed below was covered with iron cones. After the cloth was pulled up, the iron plate would fall down, and the iron cones would smash the Winter City on the iron bed. The phantom sun pierces, so the phantom sun of Winter City must break free from the strap on his wrist in a short time and escape from Ascension.
However, when Dongcheng Huanyang was tied to the iron bed by two beautiful assistants, Chiaki Nakagawa and Misa Uehara, he opened his hand and then made a fist.
"Yes, is it a distress signal?" Mao Li was shocked, "Stop!"
However, now that the eerie music was playing to set off the atmosphere, Maori's voice could not be heard on stage at all.
"Uncle!" Yamazaki rushed to the front of the stage, leaning against the stage as a ladder.
Maori understood, rushed over quickly, jumped onto the stage with the help of Yamazaki, rolled to the ground and got up.
"stop!"
However, the two beautiful assistants Chiaki Nakagawa and Misa Uehara had already put down the iron plate, and the entire iron plate fell on the iron bed.
Accompanied by the screams of Winter City Huanyang and the sound of metal piercing into the flesh, a large amount of blood flowed out from under the iron plate and flowed all over the ground.
The music stopped, the audience was stupefied and suffocated, and the venue was completely silent, only the screams that people couldn't help echoing echoed. Lan and Hondo Eisuke also contributed their strength, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
However, Yamazaki was very speechless, because this was a farce.
Although it smelled a lot of blood, the sound of metal piercing into the flesh came from the radio music, not from the iron bed on the stage.
The sound was inaudible under the cover of loud stage music, and if there was one it would be accompanied by the sound of cracking bones.
As Yamazaki expected, the two beautiful assistants, Chiaki Nakagawa and Misa Uehara, pulled back the cloth with a smile, revealing the peaceful winter city magic sun.
Mao Li looked dumbfounded again, and so did the audience, and then applause rang out for the Winter City Magic Sun who got up.
When the applause stopped, Winter City Huanyang pulled Mao Li.
"Ah, isn't this Mr. Mori Kogoro, the famous detective? Did something happen? Oh, I see, it seems that Mr. Mori thought I was killed by these two beauties, so he rushed over immediately .”
Maori was a little embarrassed, "That's true."
Dongcheng Huanyang smiled and said: "But don't worry, as you can see, I am alive and well."
Amidst the audience's laughter, Maori scratched his head and said, "You're right."
Dongcheng Huanyang smiled and said: "But we can't take it lightly, because there will be a life-threatening performance in the second half, please take care of us."
Mao Li said with a dry smile: "Where, each other."
Huanyang of Winter City shouted: "Then, please give warm applause to the dedicated Mr. Maori."
"Snapped……"
"Thank you very much."
Amid applause from the audience, Maori stepped off the stage in a hurry. ...
During the half-time break, the Winter City Magic Sun lounge.
The five Maori came to look for the magician Dongcheng Huanyang, but they heard him arguing with his former brother, the magic troupe stage manager Shingo Shoji at the door, so they didn't knock on the door.
"Winterfell, what's with that magic trick! There's so much blood flowing under the steel plate, that's not in my show design!"
"That was my idea. Didn't even a detective be fooled successfully?"
The five Mao Li looked at each other. This guy was deliberately tricking Mao Li into playing. Needless to say, the purpose was to set off him. He is really a bad guy.
"It's totally two different things. Don't you understand Winter City? What I'm after is to be gorgeous and elegant in the ultimate horror."
"No, Shoji, from now on there is no need to be gorgeous and elegant, I plan to perform in a more exciting and exciting way."
"You can do whatever you want, but your kind is not a stimulus, it's just a mental illness!"
Shoji Shingo came out, saw the five Mouri, and hurried away angrily without saying anything.
The Maori Five were a little embarrassed because it was impolite to eavesdrop.
Huanyang of Winter City saw the five Maori, "Mr. Maori, please come in."
"excuse me."
The five Maoli brought in the door, and Dongcheng Huanyang went to open the door, only to find that Hasegawa was actually outside.
"What are you doing here, what's the matter?"
Hasegawa was a little embarrassed, and left without saying a word, obviously intending to eavesdrop.
It was a bit embarrassing for the Maori Five, because they literally eavesdropped.
Dongcheng Huanyang said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Maori, can you see the signal I sent, and suddenly wanted to confirm it."
Mao Li got angry and said angrily: "But you made me very nervous, and you made me make such a fool of myself."
Dongcheng Huanyang smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, so just put it on the account. How about your appearance fee, 100,000 yen? It will be included in the commission fee when it ends."
"Ah, how embarrassing this is." Mao Li immediately became happy, "Then I will not be disrespectful, thank you."
"That's what you deserve." Winter City Huanyang smiled.
Hondo Eisuke was dumbfounded, this happened too fast, right?
Lan turned her head away from Maori, it was too embarrassing.
Both Yamazaki and Conan feel normal, as long as there is money to take, Uncle Mori doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.
At this time, Ishida Kazuma came to inform that the time was almost up, and delivered a medicine.
Maori asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Dongcheng Huanyang smiled and said: "This is a medicine that can reduce the heart rate. The next performance is the water tank escape magic that must be held for a long time. That is the magic that really tests the strength. Please pay attention to it when the time comes. .”
"I see, please be careful." Maori nodded solemnly. ...
