Chapter 2351 The relationship is really complicated
"Then you should come and check to see if your sister is here with me!" Miura Daigo seemed a little annoyed by the suspicion. He pushed the door behind him completely and said to Chi Feichi seriously, "Mr. Chi
, please come and check it out, and then I will go to the venue stage to give my own score. This competition is very important to me, and I don’t want the competition to be affected in any way.”
There are no windows or other exits in the lounge. Ventilation relies on narrow vents at the top, and even children may not be able to climb in.
The room was also very simply decorated, with only a desk, a row of bookshelves and two single sofas. There was no place to hide an adult woman.
To be on the safe side, Chi Feichi walked in and checked around. After confirming that there were no traps and no place to hide anyone, he turned around and walked out of the lounge, "Mr. Miura, did you see when Miss Hualien left here?"
Which direction did she go?"
Shou Meimei also followed into the lounge to check, but did not find Shou Hualian and was too embarrassed to talk anymore.
"No, she closed the door for me when she left, so I didn't see which direction she went," Miura Daigo glanced at Shou Meimei's worried and lost look, and his tone softened, "But I heard her footsteps.
, she was probably walking towards the contestants’ lounge at that time.”
Just as Shou Meimei was about to speak, she heard her cell phone ringing and quickly took out her cell phone to answer the call.
"Mom, it's me... Huh? Was the wedding dress from the first round taken off and placed on the bed in her room? Then, what about the dress she wore during the self-introduction and talent show?... Is that so? It's gone...
...Is the belt attached to the dress also missing? ...Yes...I know, I'll ask other people..."
After hanging up the phone, Shou Meimei and Chi Feichi explained the situation.
After receiving a call from Mao Lilan before, Shou Meimei never thought that Shou Hualian might have gone back to the room, so she called Shou Meiling while rushing to the bathroom.
And Shou Meiling just called and said that she was in the room on the 20th floor and found the wedding dress on the Shou Hualian bed. At the same time, Shou Meiling also found a dust bag in the room. The dust bag originally contained Shou Hualian.
The dress to be worn in the second round, now the dress and the belt in the dress have been taken away, only the bag remains in the room.
"That is to say, after Miss Hualien came to the contestants' lounge with us, she told us that she wanted to take a shower." Suzuki Sonoko stroked her chin to sort out her thoughts. "After Xiaolan and us were separated, she came out of the bathroom and went to Mr. Miura.
She wanted Mr. Miura to help create opportunities for contact with Brother Fei Chi. The conversation would take at least two or three minutes. Therefore, when she left Mr. Miura's room, Xiaolan and I should still be changing clothes in the dressing room, and then after that
, she didn’t say hello to us, she took the dress that she had taken to the bathroom before, and went upstairs to her room to change clothes..."
"The fact that no one saw her leave also means that she deliberately avoided other people, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked, "But why did she avoid us and go upstairs to change her clothes?"
"Could it be that she wants to prepare secretly by herself in order to surprise everyone in the second round?" Miura Daigo guessed.
"The second round of presentations will start in less than five minutes...Anyway, I'll look elsewhere!" After Shou Meimei left Miura's lounge, she anxiously looked around the stage.
"Really, I didn't even say 'I'm sorry'," Miura Daigo looked at Shou Meimei's back and complained in a low voice, "But Miss Hualien is so pitiful, like a puppet on strings, her life has been interfered by her mother and sister.
Well, I guess Miss Hualian has had enough of them."
Chi Fei saw late that Koshikoshi Nanatsuki and Mao Lilan had already followed. He was in no hurry to leave. He looked at Shou Meimei's back and said, "Miss Meimei doesn't look like a strong person."
"But their mother is," Miura Daigo shared the information with Chi Feichi with emotion. "Mrs. Meiling initially asked her eldest daughter, Miss Meimei, to participate in beauty pageants, but she failed to achieve very good results until Hualian
The young lady has grown up a bit, and she has continued to achieve good results since her debut, until now."
"Will Miss Meimei be jealous of Miss Hualian?" Chi Feichi suddenly asked.
"Then I don't know," Miura Daigo said thoughtfully, "but Miss Meimei has always been very kind to Miss Hualien..."
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Miura Daigo could not provide any new clues here, so he said goodbye, "I'm going to see if they have found Miss Hualien."
"Then I will prepare the statistics and announce the scores first," Daigo Miura said with a smile on his face, "Please don't worry too much. If Miss Hualien leaves on her own, she will definitely leave before the start of the second round.
If she comes back by herself, she will not give up the title of Miss Zephyr Contest."
Chi Feichi nodded perfunctorily and chased in the direction the girls left.
Backstage, Shou Meimei found herself outside Amano Shoichi's lounge and had another argument with Amano Shoichi.
"Hey, hey, is it possible that you are suspicious of me because I can use puppets?" Amano Shoichi declared seriously with some anxiety, "Although I was indeed dumped by Hualien, I won't do it either.
Stupid enough to write such a threatening letter!”
"Humph," Shou Meimei's face was as cold as a layer of frost, "Who knows?"
Amano Xiang looked at Shou Meimei with a little loneliness in his eyes, "Do you already distrust me so much?"
"Of course, do you think you are worthy of my trust?" Shou Meimei asked in a resentful tone. Seeing Chi Fei Chi walking to the door, she turned and walked out of the room, "Mr. Amano, you are very suspicious, I will not accuse you."
You take it lightly!"
At the door, Shou Meimei explained to Chi Feichi, Yueshui Nanatsuki, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko who were waiting outside, "He was dumped by Hualian before. I thought he might also be hiding Hualian, so he insisted."
Go into his lounge and take a look..."
Chi Feichi looked past Shou Meimei and towards Amano Shoichi who was standing in the room.
Amano Shoichi looked at Shou Meimei in a strange way just now. Shou Meimei also had an unspeakable resentment towards Amano Shoichi. Wouldn't these two people have emotional entanglements?
The relationship between these people is really complicated.
As soon as Amano Xiang walked to the door, he greeted Chi Feichi, "Mr. Chi, when the current cello performance is over, my puppet show will begin. I'm really sorry. I'll excuse you now."
"I want to go to the stage lift and have a look," Shou Meimei also walked to the back of the stage anxiously. "Hualien will use wires to slowly lift herself up from the stage lift in the second round, imitating the appearance of an angel.
For the scene of getting naked, maybe she ran over to prepare herself."
"So you only mentioned the belt when you were on the phone with Mrs. Meiling?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.
"Yes, that belt is used to connect her to Wia," Shou Meimei walked quickly to the lift and said with a look of disapproval, "This was actually my mother's idea. She was in Las Vegas
I had seen similar performances, and although I thought it would be dangerous to hang them up with wire handles, I tried to stop them from thinking this way, but my mother thought that this was the only way to widen the gap with others as quickly as possible, and she would not listen to my advice at all...
Huh?"
Next to the stage lift is a huge wooden box, big enough to hold a young girl.
"That's the box I use to put the puppets." Amano walked up to the wooden box, put his head in the box, and reached out to hold the puppet inside.
The light near the elevator was dim. Koshimizu Nanatsuki saw Amano Xiang suddenly stop his movements, started to walk forward, and took the opportunity to move his eyes to the wooden box, "Mr. Amano, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that the strings of the mechanical puppet are tangled with other puppets..."
Amano Xiangyi smiled bitterly, took the female string puppet out of the wooden box, controlled the puppet and bowed gracefully to the girls, "How is it? Isn't it cute?"
"Yes," Mao Lilan stared at the puppet and exclaimed, "it's as flexible as a real person."
Suzuki Sonoko also nodded repeatedly, "It looks very cute!"
"I want you to relax a little bit..." Amano Shoichi said, and when he saw Shou Meimei looking sideways with a cold face, he was startled, "Aren't you interested..."
"Huh?" Mao Lilan heard Amano Shoichi's murmur and looked up at Amano Shoichi in confusion.
"Nothing, it's my turn to perform, excuse me."
Amano Shoichi boarded the elevator with the puppet in his arms, and was sent to the stage together with the big wooden box.
When Suzuki Sonoko heard the warm applause coming from the direction of the venue, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mr. Amano is very popular!"
Keshui Nanatsuki returned to Chi Feichi and said thoughtfully, "I just took the opportunity to look at the wooden box. There are indeed many puppets in it. They are packed full. There should be no way to hide an adult woman..."
Chi Feichi looked at Shou Meimei who was looking around, "I'm more curious about who Mr. Amano likes."
Shou Meimei's face changed slightly, she looked around, and her searching movements froze.
"Huh?" Suzuki Sonoko looked confused, "Miss Meimei just said that Mr. Amano was dumped by Miss Hualien. There should be no one else he likes except Miss Hualian, right?"
"Yes, except for Hualian, there will be no one else," Shou Meimei's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment. She quickly calmed down and suggested to the others, "After Mr. Amano's performance is over, the announcement will be made."
The first round of scoring was the time to officially start the second round of presentations. Although Hualian was ranked third, and there were two people in front of her to introduce themselves and show off their talents, there was still not much time left for us, so we had to split up.
Go find it!"
There is not much time left, so it is indeed a good idea to search separately.
Koshizui Nanatsuki planned to walk the route from the backstage to Shouhualian's room on the 20th floor. Mao Lilan, Suzuki Sonoko and Shoumeimei stayed backstage to continue searching. As for Chi Feichi, he was responsible for returning to the venue and heading from the venue to the 20th floor.
Find it.
In the venue outside, in order to enhance the performance of the puppet show, many lights in the venue were turned off. Only spotlights were used to illuminate the stage, making the area under the stage even darker.
The three children sat in the darkness, watching the puppet show on the stage without blinking.
Dr. Ari felt restless and kept glancing towards the small door leading to the backstage. He felt someone touching his shoulder behind him. He turned around and saw Kudo Shinichi, who was wearing a top hat, putting his hand on his shoulder and looking at him with a smile.
, said in surprise, "New..."
"Shh..." Kudo Shinichi squatted down and was completely hidden in the dark shadows by Dr. Agasa's body and the white round tablecloth. He lowered his voice and reminded, "Doctor, the soundtrack of the puppet show is not loud, and you don't
Keep your voice down."
Dr. A Li nervously looked at the side door leading to the backstage, and also lowered his voice, "Shinichi, why did you come here? Where is Xiao Ai? Have you got what you want?"
