"A temporary prop for a performance." The beautiful woman raised her chin and clicked there. "You put it on when the show starts and dance ferociously in the cage. It will definitely be more lively than our mechanism."
Okiya Subaru: "???"
From the moment he stepped here, he always felt that something was not right.
Before, he thought that this might be the sequelae of Uzo's nightmare.
But now, seeing the empty cages in front of him and hearing the beautiful woman's words, Subaru Okiya suddenly understood.
He quickly looked at the advertising flyer beside him, and belatedly discovered that the gaudy variant English on it, with the London Eye as the background, said "magic" instead of "circus".
This is actually a magic troupe... Where is the circus we promised??
Subaru Okiya couldn't help but said: "Um, I remember I heard before that you were a circus, why are you performing magic now?"
The beautiful woman lit a long slender cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Aren't they all the same? You don't think that the circus only has acrobatics and no magic, right?"
Okiya Subaru: "No, no, there are still some differences. Those animals..."
Mentioning this matter, the beautiful woman snorted:
“Within just two performances, animal welfare people came to protest, insisting on picking up the animals for examination, and saying that they should be properly housed – I think those bastards were just deliberately looking for trouble!
"But there's no other way. Who's to blame for this? We can only act like this for now." She pouted dissatisfiedly, then slapped Subaru Okiya on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we can do such complicated acrobatics.
It can be done, let alone this little magic trick."
Okiya Subaru: "..." It doesn't matter what the performance is. He doesn't really care whether this group of people can handle it, but the animals he expected to have no killing intention and will not be controlled by Uzo, just "pop"
"In a flash, everything was gone...
"Okay, don't be in a daze, put it on and try it on." The beautiful woman walked to the fake leather, picked it up and threw it on Subaru Okiya, "Enter the cage and jump twice. Remember to be fierce."
"..."
Okiya Subaru was not in the mood at all and bounced a few times perfunctorily.
It is obviously too difficult for laymen to play the role of an animal that can look real.
The beautiful woman burst out laughing, not noticing his perfunctory behavior. Anyway, she was just looking for a way to entertain herself: "Okay, stop jumping. It seems you don't have the talent for acting."
She waved her hand: "Go and continue packing your things. Find a room to rest after you finish your work. We have already discussed your work - during the performance tomorrow, you can mingle with the audience to warm up. This person has a mouth.
If you can do it, learn how others cheer in advance and don’t fall behind.”
Subaru Okiya nodded tiredly and watched her leave. He always felt that this magic group was not very reliable.
But fortunately, it's the last stop - after the performance in London tomorrow night, the circus will pack up and head to the United States.
Although the cute animals that he imagined could protect him were gone, fortunately there were not many members in this circus, and they were all busy with their own affairs, so not many people had time to pay attention to him, which made him feel a little relieved.
Okiya Subaru: "..." It will definitely work this time!
Moreover, this is a Japanese magic troupe, and there are all Asian faces in it, so he doesn't stand out among them.
It is really not an easy task to find such a multinational performing arts group in a foreign country in a short period of time, so just make do with it...
…
The next day, the bustling commercial street.
A group of people carried large and small bags and strolled around casually.
"There are exams next week, so I have to go back as soon as possible. Alas, time flies by so fast."
Mao Lilan sighed, flipped through her account book, and looked at the schedule she checked on it - fortunately, she basically went around all the places she needed to go shopping, took all the photos she needed to take, and bought a lot of clothes.
This time it is not in vain.
Including the long journey, they should get on the plane tomorrow, and today is the last day of the trip.
The morning was over in a flash.
As for the afternoon itinerary...
Conan was torn between "The House of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Suspicious Okiya Subaru in Miss Yoko's Crew", and finally decided to get down to business first and go to the crew to have a look.
The former residence of Sherlock Holmes is left there, and he can't run away. And according to Jiang Xia, this restless neighbor seems to want to come to watch the tennis match in a month. At worst, he will follow him when the time comes. Anyway, he is a primary school student, and he will skip school if he misses school.
He already knows what he has learned.
…
After making this secret decision, after lunch, I found that Mao Lilan was a little tired from shopping. Conan brought up his own personal matters: "Let's go to Miss Yoko's set again."
"The crew?" Mao Lilan was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't seem to have any other attractions she wanted to go to. In addition, there were indeed a few autographs that had not yet arrived yesterday, so she was immediately moved and nodded.
They took a taxi and the vehicle quickly arrived at the set where they had been yesterday.
When I arrived at the location, I saw a group of crew members going to shoot nearby - although the male protagonist died suddenly, fortunately in this drama, the male protagonist had many scenes with his face covered.
Directors in Tokyo are somewhat mentally prepared for the loss of actors during the performance, and those who are not prepared are eliminated. And the director of this crew obviously knows what he should do at this time - find a stand-in first and then finish the filming.
scene, during this period it would be nice to contact a suitable actor to replace the dead Nanjo Hayato.
The director was secretly planning the upcoming plot in his mind. When he looked up, he suddenly found several people walking towards him.
He looked at these familiar guys, his eyes fell on Jiang Xia, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly: "Why are you here again?"
After Jiang Xia and the others left yesterday, the director had someone tidy up the building.
Then I discovered that Jiang Xia had dug a hole into the warehouse where Okiya Subaru was captured.
Thinking of yesterday, he was also one of the suspects. When the director saw Jiang Xia, he felt pain all over his body, as if he was being beaten with an invisible stick.
Jiang Xia didn't pay attention to his unusual expression. He looked at the people in the crew and asked, "Miss Yoko isn't here?"
When the director heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He pointed to the production building behind him: "There is no scene for her in the afternoon, so she should be resting. If you have anything, go and find him yourself."
Then he waved his hand, led a group of people across Jiangxia, and left in a hurry.
Conan carefully searched around the crowd and found no sign of Subaru Okiya.
Jiang Xia also looked for it, and then the few of them looked away from the crew and entered the building.
