Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, Kinoshita Yoko seems to have become accustomed to Conan's alert appearance that is different from ordinary children. Maybe it's because she has few contacts with children. She occasionally meets a few, and most of them are child stars who are as big as a brat.
There are not enough samples of children, so I think Conan's behavior is still within the range of normal children.
Jiang Xia was thinking casually and said: "It's actually not difficult to figure this out."
Conan's eyes lit up: "How do you say that?"
Jiang Xia squatted next to him, lowered his voice, and pointed to the screenwriter's room not far away: "Did you hear the buzzing sound of the machine? He seems to be printing the script. If you sneak in as a child and take a peek,
You can immediately know the content of the script.”
Conan's heart suddenly moved, but he hesitated: "He won't hit me. Should I put something under my clothes before going in?"
Although Conan is fearless for the truth, he is not a masochist after all. The news that the screenwriter kicked and beat Tamanosuke Ito just now is really shocking. Conan wants to avoid harm as much as possible.
Jiang Xia: "His attitude towards children is much better than towards adults. At most, he will blow your brains out like he did to Ito Hui just now. You have a hard head, so it's not a big problem."
Conan: "..." Although it sounds like Jiang Xia is praising him, it always feels like something is not right...
But then I thought about it, Jiang Xia was at the door. Although Xiaolan went to take care of the brother and sister, she was not far from here. She also had anesthesia needles and foot-strengthening shoes... Could it be that the screenwriter could still beat him to death?
Thinking of the abundant force behind him, Conan no longer hesitated. He adjusted his expression, tried his best to look cute with a smile, and entered the screenwriter's room.
The printer on the table was running, and Conan leaned over as if nothing had happened, holding his voice: "Hey~ It's amazing! Page after page of the script was actually printed out!"
Screenwriter: "..." What's so great about this, this ignorant little brat.
However, the child's heartfelt praise was indeed pleasing to the eye. The screenwriter was a little proud and did not kick him out immediately.
Just as the last page was being typed, Conan casually came to the table and looked at the thick stack of scripts. The title on the cover was "Itarou's Patrol—The Phantom Thief "Edo Boy" Chapter"
"Kaitou Edo Boy?"
"Edo" is the old name of Tokyo, but the "Edo boy" here seems to refer to a single person.
The screenwriter had a good impression of this little kid who was good at flattering people. When Conan had questions, he explained smoothly: "The name 'Edo Kid' comes from a real-life Kaito. That guy has been quite active recently and has been in the news several times.
, he is the source of my script."
"Is that so..." Conan quietly reached out and was about to open the script and read two pages, but at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side, and the financial manager appeared out of nowhere.
She picked up the script and said to the screenwriter: "Then I will print it first."
"Go." The screenwriter pressed the button, took out the disk inserted in the laptop, put it into the box and put it away.
Conan was startled: "Are you still using such an ancient disk?" In modern society, various technologies are in parallel, but the number of people using such disks is gradually decreasing. Unexpectedly, this fashionable-looking screenwriter is actually quite retro
of.
The screenwriter snorted: "You little brat has too much to do. Okay, get out of here and don't delay my rest."
…
Conan is gone.
Before I left, I quietly brought a brochure from the screenwriter's room.
"Edo boy?" In the corridor, Jiang Xia looked down at the book he brought out, "That strange thief who has appeared in many places across the country?"
Yoko Kinoshita was a little curious: "Who is that? As for Kaitou, I seem to have only heard of Kaitou Kidd."
"That guy Kidd is quite famous..." Conan muttered. He lowered his head and flipped through the booklet in his hand and found that it was a collection of newspaper clippings - the screenwriter had collected all the reports about "Edo Boy" and posted them on
In this book.
Conan: "About half a year ago, starting from the outskirts of Tokyo, Edo Boy started robbing people all over the country. The police who chased him said that he was like a thief from a period drama, and he could escape by jumping lightly on the roof.
, just like he knew how to do light kung fu, the police couldn't keep up with his speed. So the media gave him the name 'Edo Boy', which has been used to this day - this is also the theme of the troupe's filming."
Jiang Xia glanced at the stage in the distance: "In a traveling troupe, learning acrobatics and 'light kung fu' is the foundation of one's career. Moreover, this troupe also happens to be touring the country, which is almost the same as the Edo boy's route... This script is very suitable for them.
.”
"Indeed. Speaking of the 'Edo Boys', we were once investigated by the police as suspects."
Suddenly a sweet voice cut in from the side.
Jiang Xia turned around and looked over and found that it was the actress who was tumbling on the stage before.
Lily Shirai had short, smooth and fluffy hair, with a bow ribbon wrapped around the top of her hair. She glanced at Jiang Xia, her face turned red, and her eyes quickly moved away, just in time to bump into Kinoshita Yoko who was looking over.
Looking at this idol, Shirai Lily's face instantly turned redder, and she stuttered and said: "Hello, hello! I'm your fan..."
Yoko Kinoshita thought of the actor who was like a wheel on the stage before, and smiled at her: "I didn't expect that I have such great fans."
Shirai Lily's face turned redder.
A fair and tender young woman suddenly looked like a cooked crab. Jiang Xia lamented that this is what a real star chaser is, while telling clues: "Do you know the specific content of the script that the screenwriter is writing?
Did he want to write it himself, or did your young captain want to act on this theme?"
Shirai Yuri came back to her senses and thought hard: "It was the screenwriter who told me to write it first. After the team leader found out, he wanted him to change the ending, but the screenwriter never agreed, and the two of them are in a stalemate until now - as for the specifics.
None of them told us what it was about."
As she spoke, she sighed: "I just hope they can write the script as soon as possible and have time to practice in advance so that they won't make mistakes during the performance... Alas, in fact, the group leader has always been very talkative and respectful.
Our decision, the screenwriter is not usually so stubborn about his scripts, I don’t know what happened this time, both of them became so stubborn.”
…
After Yuri Shirai provided the information she knew, she got the autograph as she wished, and ran off to practice again.
In the corridor that became quiet again, Conan glanced at Jiang Xia and lowered his voice furtively: "What do you think?"
