Thinking of this, Belmode couldn't help but be wary: "..." It seems that in the future, you can't just pay attention to those murder cases, but also pay attention to any abnormalities around you. Maybe one day in the future, those "abnormalities" will become the introduction to bloody cases...
...Thinking about it this way, Uzo will really increase the workload for others.
…
the other side.
Matsuzaki Haru didn't know that he had become a case guide in the eyes of others.
Amid lightning and thunder, she walked through the corridor and arrived at the theater where everyone was rehearsing during the day.
The door of the theater was wide open. Matsuzaki Haru paused for a moment at the door, clenched his fists, strode in, and stopped on the stage.
"I'm here as promised." Haru Matsuzaki remembered that he was being pinched by others, and raised his voice to the dark theater, "Who are you? Come out and see me!"
Thunder and lightning fell all around, and the dazzling light pierced the window, illuminating the entire theater in an instant. Matsuzaki Haru squinted his eyes unprepared, and suddenly found a figure cast on the wall.
There was a thump in her heart, and she quickly raised her head and saw a person standing next to the huge and beautiful chandelier above her head.
The man stood on the beam with a strange posture, his taut back was bent into an arch, and he was holding a rope tightly in his hand, with a cold expression - he looked like the "opera eccentric" with blood on his hands in the story who had lived for hundreds of years.
Came over.
…
"dinner time!"
In the old hotel, Inozuka Taro reluctantly cooked a sumptuous meal and called the students upstairs to come down at the top of his lungs.
Jiang Xia yawned and walked downstairs. Next to him, Suzuki Sonoko rubbed her belly and complained: "It's so late to start dinner."
Mao Lilan looked at her watch and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not too late now. It's just that it's cloudy and dark too early, so time seems to fly by very quickly."
In addition to them, other people also came down one after another.
Because there were so many people, it was hard to tell who was missing at a glance. But after sitting down according to the seats, the empty stool suddenly became conspicuous.
"Where's Koharu?" Toda Kiwako was the first to recognize the missing person.
"Maybe she's still in the room." Matsuzaki Masahiko sighed and stood up, "She's usually a bit lazy. I'll call her."
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, a scream broke through the thunderstorm, piercing everyone's ears like an awl.
The sound was a little distorted and blurry, but it could still be heard that the person screaming seemed to be a woman.
"?!" Coupled with the howling storm and gloomy sky outside, even Kurosawa Kazuma was startled by this miserable cry.
His first reaction was that someone was being tortured nearby, so he quietly turned his head and glanced at Inozuka Taro.
The two looked at each other, and the same doubt flashed in their eyes: "..." The only two outlaws are here, and there is no one else on the island. So what happened to the female student to make her so terrifying?
They have lived here for so many days, and there are no wild animals on the island.
...Could it be that guy named George who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but was accidentally bumped into by a girl, and then was trying to silence him?
The two of them had bad intentions and planned to stabilize the group of students and run over to see the situation.
Unexpectedly, before they finished compiling their lines, Jiang Xia and the primary school student next to him had already stood up with a groan, and their movements were almost completely synchronized. Then the two people turned their heads and rushed towards the place where the scream came from, and their reactions were better than his.
They were both much faster.
With Jiang Xia and the others taking the lead, the others immediately reacted and followed suit.
"..."
The restaurant that was bustling just now suddenly fell into silence.
Kazuma Kurosawa and Taro Inozuka lost the opportunity because they did not respond quickly enough to the screams.
The two of them had no choice but to scold the quick-thinking detective in their hearts, gritted their teeth and followed, and at the same time began to think about whether to silence Maya Hashimoto before he said something he shouldn't have said, or whether the three of them should work together to silence these students first.
.
…
A group of people followed the shouts and searched around. However, the noise of the rainstorm was too great. They were unable to determine where the scream came from, and the search found nothing.
At this moment, a penetrating ringtone spread through the rain and fell into everyone's ears.
Jiang Xia looked back at the theater: "It's the opening bell of the play."
Mao Lilan was so frightened that she squeezed in between him and Suzuki Sonoko, and was close to her two companions. When she rushed out, she forgot to put down the tableware on her hand. At this time, the silver fork in her hand had been pinched to the point of deformation.
Mao Lilan held the fork that was about to break and trembled: "Why is the bell ringing at this time? Isn't the theater empty? Is it the ghost of the legendary 'opera weirdo' who lives underground in the theater..."
Before she could finish speaking, the fork in her hand still failed to hold up. The fork broke and hit the ground with a thud, like heavy footsteps falling.
Maori Orchid's face turned pale, and she was so frightened that she almost took off on the spot: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Belmod rushed over after hearing the scream: "..."
...This, this must be Uzo's bad taste again.
...Maybe it was also a little trick used to test her.
In short, it's not her own fault that Angel is like this.
The "new doctor" lifted up his glasses that had slipped down and straightened his windbreaker as if nothing had happened: "Since the ringtone came from the theater, it means that the classmate who did not come for dinner may be in the theater, and maybe she is curious about debugging the equipment.
At that time, I was frightened by something."
Jiang Xia also casually rubbed Mao Lilan's arm that was almost pulled off when she jumped up, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's go and have a look."
…
They were not the only ones who were attracted to the theater by the ringing of the bell. Others who ran around looking for Matsuzaki Haru also quickly gathered from various entrances.
When you come to the stage, you can vaguely see something on the stage.
Before they could see clearly, the searchlight above their heads suddenly turned on. The dazzling light made everyone close their eyes and adapt to the light.
A few seconds later, when they opened their eyes again, the stage in front of them made them speechless.
——The heavy chandelier, which was made of brass and decorated with crystal candlesticks, had actually fallen from the ceiling.
Like in "Phantom of the Opera", it hit the ground hard. Under the lamp, blood streaks slowly spilled out along the wooden floor. If you look closely, you can see a body through the hollow part - someone was pressed under the lamp and was dead.
Now. This chandelier has changed from a beautiful work of art to a murderous weapon that suits the occasion.
"Xiao, Xiaochun?!"
The three college students were the first to react. Matsuzaki Masahiko was so frightened that his legs softened and he fell to his knees with a thud. Toda Takawako was also stunned.
The little black face was not close to Haru Matsuzaki, and he still maintained a lot of sense at this time. He looked at the two island watchers in shock and anger: "What is the quality of your chandelier?! Why is such a dangerous thing not fixed properly?"
