Chapter 1756 1756Edo BoyAsk for a monthly pass o('')o

Jiang Xia looked at his watch: "It seems that it's time to eat."

Conan: ""

He showed a puzzled expression of "There is a puzzle in front of you, but you only think about eating? Are you still a detective!"

But soon, perhaps because this topic was mentioned, Conan also grumbled in his stomach, obviously hungry.

Jiang Xia pretended not to hear it, and answered his question by the way: "Maybe 'Edo Boy' is really related to this troupe, for example, he is one of the troupe members, and the troupe leader and screenwriter happen to know this, so It's shown in the script."

"Could it be that they want to use this method to make the Edo boy turn himself in?" Conan tried to use reasoning to alleviate the embarrassment that flashed just now, "Actually, the quickest solution is to call the police and arrest him. I heard that That strange thief has hurt people in the robbery, but... well, forget it, after all, it is his own regiment, and there are feelings among members, if he can really persuade that person to surrender, that would be the best."

At this time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko came from the direction of the leader's lounge.

Seeing Jiang Xia and the others looking thoughtful, the two asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xia came back to his senses: "How is that new classmate?"

Mao Lilan sighed, a little worried: "I don't know if he was kicked, or he is just autistic. He doesn't seem to want to communicate with us, and he has already fallen asleep."

"Then let's go eat first." On the way Jiang Xia came here, he saw several well-known old restaurants nearby. They are usually far away, so they don't bother to make a special trip to eat, but today they happened to be on the way.

Yoko Kinoshita was also a little hungry, she thought of the cute fans just now, and rubbed her stomach: "The people in the brigade don't seem to have eaten yet, let's pack a few for them after eating, so that they won't be too busy and forget about it .

Several people quickly reached a consensus and went to find a restaurant nearby.

After eating, several people returned to the theater building with some lunch boxes.

The restaurant is closer to the back door of the theater. Jiang Xia pushed the door open, and just two steps into the room, the door to the chief's lounge was just pushed open from the inside.

A little girl in ancient costume walked out the door, saw them, and said "Ah!" in surprise, and then she ran over bouncingly: "Jiang Xia! I thought you were gone."

Jiang Xia bowed his head to recognize it, and found that it was Ito Hui. After this fashionable little girl changed into an ancient costume, she looked like a different person.

After greeting Jiang Xia, Ito Hui showed Conan her clothes again: "I'm going to practice, do you want to come together? I also have a set of women's clothing and a wig. We are about the same size, so it must fit you well. "

Conan: "...No, thank you."

Ito Kei looked regretful.

At this time, another person came out of the room.

Tamanosuke Ito also changed into an ancient costume. It seems that the kick from the screenwriter just now did not cause too much damage to him, and he has already calmed down.

"I'm really sorry for letting you see such an ugly scene just now."

Tamanosuke Ito tidied up the police uniform on his body embarrassingly, "The rehearsal will start in ten minutes, and the stage has been set up now. If you are interested, I will take you there to have a look."

"Okay!" The two female high school students are obviously very interested in this traditional stage.

Yoko Kinoshita is actually not too old with them, and she is also not familiar with the traveling theater troupe. She also sorted out the camera in her hand, looking forward to it.

The lights were on on the stage, and various house sets were set up.

Conan looked up at the decorations while distracted.

Walking to the middle of the stage, he suddenly lost his feet, and Jiang Xia grabbed him by the collar immediately after.

Conan lowered his head and saw a deep hole in the ground, about a few meters deep below.

Tamanosuke Ito was taken aback, and hurried over to remind them: "This is 'Naraku', be careful, the Naraku on this stage is very deep."

Naraku is a lifting prop on the stage, connected to the path below the stage, through which actors can quickly appear in the center of the stage, and this unexpected concealment can also increase the performance effect.

Just as he was talking, with a slight sound of the mechanism turning, the actor who was rolling over and over again posed in a pose, half-kneeling on the floor of Naluo, and was lifted up by the elevator.

When Naraku rose to be level with the ground, the actor looked down at his watch: "1 minute and 40 seconds."

Tamanosuke Ito sighed: "The time is a bit long, it seems that we have to adjust the performance plan."

Talking about business, the group leader and actors got busy.

Jiang Xia and the others didn't bother any more, went to sit down in the auditorium, and looked down to see a group of actors discussing in a circle on the stage, and there was an extra child who was obviously shorter in the middle.

Yoko Kinoshita couldn't help but took several photos of her: "It's so cute!"

Jiang Xia glanced at Xiaobai who was lying on her phone, trying to occupy the camera: "...Indeed."

As several people changed into costumes, the roles of the actors suddenly became clear: Ito Tamanosuke played the leading role, a head catcher, Xiaohui played his assistant, and the rolling actor played "Edo Boy".

Others acted in their true colors, playing the role of a traveling theater troupe in the Edo period.

The plot of the whole drama is roughly that when the head catcher hunts down the Edo boy, he finds that the strange thief is suspected to be related to this traveling troupe, so the head catcher starts to check the people in the troupe one by one, trying to find the real Edo boy.

Finally, the protagonist finally identified a suspect, but the ending was reversed: that person was wronged, and the real murderer was actually the suspect's twin brother.

"This script is really strange." Conan said to Jiang Xia in a low voice, "The protagonist is a famous arrester, but he will admit the wrong murderer, and finally find out the truth by accident. This is not like what the protagonist should do, let alone The ending that traditional screenwriters would write, there must be some private goods in it. What is the metaphor of this script..."

Jiang Xia glanced at him, always feeling that Conan has been paying too much attention to things like scripts recently: "Actually, I think it's better to ask insiderssuch as screenwriters and directors, rather than guessing."

"They definitely won't say it." Conan sighed.

Suddenly he realized something, and sat up abruptly: "Wait, has the scriptwriter never shown up? Everyone on the stage is here, and the financial manager has come to rehearse together. No matter how arrogant the scriptwriter is, he should come and take a look." Before, he was obviously very concerned about his script, but now that he is like this, isn't he afraid that someone will secretly change the script while he is away?"

The more he said it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Conan jumped up, walked around the side of the stage under the surprised eyes of his companions and actors, and rushed to the backstage.
