"It's okay!"
"Miss Lumi!! Are you okay!?"
"Xianyi!"
It was only then that everyone recovered from their shock and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation.
"I'm okay..." He looked at the stage next to him with lingering fear: "It was Tang Zejing who saved me."
"Are you two injured?" Ito Tamanosuke asked worriedly: "Should we call an ambulance..."
"You don't have to be like this, seat commander." Karube Rumi smiled and said, "I'm just a little frightened. In fact, I don't even have any scratches."
Everyone was relieved when they saw that the two men stood up from the ground without any injuries.
"As expected of brother-in-law." Yuanzi patted his chest: "Brother-in-law had already saved the person before we even reacted."
"Thanks to Conan for discovering it in time." Tang Ze smiled and said modestly: "I happened to be the closest at the time, and finally caught up at the critical moment."
"How is this going!"
While everyone was talking, there was a huge noise on the stage, which also attracted other people to look.
Nabeshima from before also came to the stage, picked up the rope and checked it and said angrily: "Who is it! Who did such an outrageous thing!"
Then he started to drive them away regardless of their feelings: "Hey, you guys leave quickly!
I need to fix this quickly, or it will be too late!!"
"Anyway, let's go to the lounge first." Tamanosuke looked at the messy stage and said to Rumi Karube.
"The broken end of this rope has traces of being cut by a knife." Karasawa came to Nabeshima and judged by looking at the rope in his hand.
"Did a "weirdo" do it!?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, Lianhua said with a look of horror.
"Stop saying stupid things, it's just a prank!" Ito Tamanosuke scolded: "I will not agree to his request yet!"
"Then how to explain this situation now?"
Rausu Tatsuhiko, who heard the commotion from the side, also came over. After hearing Ito Tamanosuke's words, he asked: "If Karasawa Criminal Justice hadn't responded promptly, then we might have to change the heroine!"
"Will not!"
Hearing Rausu Tatsuhiko's words, Karube Rumi suddenly became determined from the previous fright: "I feel that my fighting spirit has become stronger. I will not let that "weirdo" succeed!"
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you." Mouri Kogoro looked at him with confusion and asked everyone: "Who do you mean by "weird"..."
"That's the weirdo at Jinpila Theater!" Lianhua said worriedly.
"I said, that's just..." Ito Tamanosuke looked at Renhua helplessly, but the following words were not uttered in the end.
"I remember, isn't this the drama title of this speech?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
"Is it because of the "crystal lamp"?"
Karasawa looked at the confused Mouri Kogoro and explained: "The play performed in "Kanamaruza" is based on "Phantom of the Opera".
When I first took on the role of an actress as the heroine, there was an accident where the crystal chandelier fell from the sky."
"That seems to be true!"
Xiaolan said, looking sharply and speaking to everyone present with a somewhat frightened tone, "Not only that, the relationship between you guys is also very similar to the relationship between the characters in The Phantom of the Opera!!"
"By the way, Brother Tamanosuke seemed to have mentioned before that he would not agree to requests from "weirdos"..." Conan looked at Tamanosuke with a searching look in his eyes.
"Ah, this is the same!" Xiao Lan said quickly after hearing this: "In "The Phantom of the Opera", the weirdo also asked to change the heroine!"
"What has actually happened?"
Mouri Kogoro looked around at the crowd and said, "It seems you are hiding something from us."
"Yeah... in front of two masters of reasoning, there really is no way to hide it."
After hearing what Mouri Kogoro said, Rausu Tatsuhiko smiled helplessly: "Brother Tamanosuke, I think you should tell Karasawa Criminal and Detective Mouri Kogoro about what happened before."
"I see..."
Ito Tamanosuke sighed after hearing this, and then said: "At the beginning, I just thought it was someone's prank and didn't take it to heart.
Because he didn't seem to want to do anything, he just appeared suddenly and startled the tourists or residents around him.
But the problem is, then I received ten letters like this..."
Ito Tamanosuke took the letter and handed it to Mouri Kogoro. The other person turned it over with a look of confusion on his face, "Although the content is the same, what does it mean?"
"A vast reverberation, get it, kill it with one move, disperse it! - Sanuki Kinpira Theater Weird"
"He said "vast repercussions will be obtained." If you want to act, this is a matter of course." Yuanzi heard this.
"Yes, the following sentence "Kill with one move, let's disperse" is also very similar to a line in an acting movie." Xiaolan felt as she looked at the content online.
"It's a secret code, just to get rid of the sound of "SA"." After Conan heard the secret code, he immediately solved it.
"Thank you for being able to guess it." Rausu Tatsuhiko looked at Conan and sighed.
"Remove the sound of "SA"?"
Mouri Kogoro first changed all the characters into hiragana, and then removed the "さ", and the content became smoother.
——"Change the heroine into Lotus."
"This is clearly a threat!" Mouri Kogoro said with a serious look on his face as he held the letter.
"But if I reacted every time this was sent, the play wouldn't be able to go on!" Tamanosuke Ito was also very angry.
"You're right, but just because you didn't deal with it, what happened like before happened."
Tamanosuke's expression froze at the words of Otsuya Kawatake, who was wearing a samurai uniform, but because something unexpected had happened, he had no way to refute him.
"It seems like it's not just a threat..." Ayako worried: "There won't be anything else after this..."
Speaking of this, Ayako looked at Karasawa worriedly. Although Karasawa's rescue action just now did not hurt her, it still frightened her.
So this time after hearing about the threatening letter, I naturally became a little worried that a bigger accident would happen later.
And she knew Tang Ze. If something like this happened, the other party would never sit idly by and ignore it.
"If something like this happens, how can the play continue..."
Sonoko looked worried: "If you don't follow the "weirdo"'s words, Miss Karube may be in danger next."
"No, I will still appear, seatmaster!" Karube Rumi showed no fear at all. After saying that, she went to the room alone to prepare.
"Well, if you just back down like this, how can you still be called an actor?" Kawatake Otomi admired her attitude very much.
"Hey, is this really okay?" Tatsuhiko Rausu looked worried. He immediately looked at Mouri Kogoro: "Is this really okay?"
"Well...it seems there is no direct connection between the threatening letter and the falling lantern."
Mouri Kogoro pondered for a moment and said: "As for the cut marks on the rope, we need to go through a detailed investigation to know whether they were cut with a knife..."
"So regarding the performance, for now, it still has to be decided by Mr. Tamanosuke, who is the seat leader."
Karasawa's words put Tamanosuke in a dilemma, but he made up his mind without too much hesitation, "The character will proceed as planned!"
Today’s special premiere, I hope everyone can keep up the mood and perform well!”
Everything is proceeding normally, this is Tamanosuke's decision, and it is completely in line with common sense.
After all, the first day of the public performance is about to begin, and they can't possibly change players now. The impact will be huge, and the entire performance may collapse if they are not careful.
Since the parties concerned have no objections, Tamanosuke naturally hopes to continue with the original team.
Soon, guests arrived one after another at the "Kanamaru Seat", filling the entire theater.
The performance began soon, and this opera based on The Phantom of the Opera slowly unfolded to everyone.
Everything seemed to be going well, and the story gradually reached the peak of the confrontation between the weirdo and the samurai.
Above the auditorium, everyone was sitting here and watching the performance.
Of course, except for Kogoro Mori who went to drink before the show started, he was fast asleep in front of this wonderful performance.
Of course, the one who didn't put his mind on the performance was Conan.
At this moment, his attention was entirely on Karube Rumi.
It wasn't her outstanding performance or her beauty that attracted Conan, but he noticed that Rumi Karube, who was playing the role of a singer on the stage, was not fully immersed in the performance at the moment. Instead, she frequently glanced at the ceiling.
This shouldn't happen to a famous actor, but it happened now.
So he quickly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
Then, he saw a pair of dim figures with scarlet eyes seemingly wandering above the ceiling.
"ah!!"
A scream rang out in the auditorium, and the next moment there were panicked exclamations. The audience obviously noticed the "weirdo" on the ceiling, and the theater fell into chaos for a while.
"What the hell is that!" Nabeshima cursed and yelled, then climbed towards the ceiling to see who was causing trouble there.
However, after the "weirdo" disappeared, strange things continued.
As an actress, Rumi Karube covered her throat and couldn't speak. As for the strange sound like a frog, she sounded.
This scene attracted the attention of the audience around her, and soon everyone saw that Rumi Karube was covering her throat but could only make strange noises.
After contacting the strange man who suddenly appeared before contacting him, panic and uneasiness began to spread in the theater.
"This scene is the same, just like the Phantom of the Opera!" Xiaolan looked at the scene on the stage with an uneasy tone.
"No way..." Yuanzi looked ugly when she heard this. It was obvious that even she, who had always been bold, felt a little scared when faced with this strange situation.
In the midst of this commotion, Tamanosuke quickly asked someone to lower the curtain and forcibly stopped the program.
Conan on the side wanted to check the situation, but was stopped by Karasawa and whispered: "The man named Nabeshima just went up to check the situation. In the past, you would only be scolded. I will check the situation later."
."
"That's fine." Conan nodded when he heard this, and whispered: "Then shall we go backstage now?"
"You're small and it's hard to attract attention. It's a good idea to go over and take a look."
Knowing that Conan was a guy who couldn't sit still, Tang Ze thought for a while and said: "I'm going to see Miss Karube's situation, but I won't go.
At present, the surrounding guests have not caused panic. They only think that it is the effect of the theater's program. I am afraid that Tamanosuke's performance will continue soon.
I'm sitting here just in case."
"Then let's do it." Conan nodded, then got up and walked backstage.
The performance started again soon after. They were lucky. The previous accidents were still in line with the plot, so the previous accidents were regarded as special performances before the intermission.
These are also common in period dramas or magic shows, and the audience quickly focuses on the performance.
However, the heroine "Diva" in the second half was quietly changed.
Fortunately, Lianhua is not famous even if she is not famous, but as a person who truly loves performing, she still has some strength.
Although it was a temporary rescue, she resisted the pressure and carried out the performance perfectly.
It seemed that everything was safe, and the threat from the "weirdo" only caused a slight commotion.
But those are just the surface. In fact, there are greater undercurrents and mysteries inside.
For example, Conan originally went to check the situation, but because he got lost, Tamanosuke had already discussed with Renhua about her being a substitute and hurriedly went downstairs and left.
Conan originally wanted to go up and ask Renhua about the mouthwash. After all, Karube Rumi couldn't speak out, so it seemed that it had something to do with the mouthwash Renhua went to get.
But who would have thought that before Conan climbed upstairs, he heard Lianhua talking to the "weirdo", who was encouraging Lianhua.
After a conversation, Lianhua left Conan and went to the room to check the situation, but she didn't notice anyone in the room.
Of course, Tang Ze was well aware of the matter of this "weird man", and he had no intention of tracking down this "weird man" who simply could not exist.
So he first comforted Conan and asked him to wait for his investigation. After the performance, he said something to Tamanosuke, and then went up to the ceiling to check the situation when the staff was not paying attention.
Of course, his main purpose was not to check the traces of "weirdos" that had appeared on the ceiling, but to quietly wait for a good show to take place.
As time passed, the stage staff left one after another, and a figure came to the theater silently.
