Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, or perhaps fearing that Kudo Yukiko’s children would misunderstand, Belmod suddenly turned the topic to Sharon Wynyard’s “failed” life.
"Compared to my daughter Chris, my life is a farce." Belmode said slowly with a melancholy expression.
Kudo Yukiko heard this and joked with a smile: "Here we go again, in fact, you are very proud of this daughter, right?"
Belmode's expression did not change: "I no longer regard that child as my daughter."
"Eh?"
"Can you imagine? When I was laying flowers on my husband's tombstone, that kid actually stood behind me and put on makeup to look like my husband. Don't you think this joke went too far?"
Yu Jiang stood nearby and quietly watched Belmode's performance.
This woman is worthy of being a movie queen-level actress. When she made up the story, he almost believed it.
Just look at the reactions of Kudo Yukiko and her son and you will know how successful Belmode’s lie was!
Belmode said solemnly: "Since that goodbye, I haven't seen my daughter for ten years. I only heard that she is now hanging out with a group of bad friends."
Yu Jiang: "..."
Huh? They are all bad friends, right?
But in a sense, they are indeed not people of high quality.
After Belmode had satisfied his desire to perform, he reminded Kudo Yukiko to park the car in the parking lot, and then suggested that she take everyone backstage to meet the actors.
Tonight's play is The Golden Apple, and there is a big golden apple on the neon sign hanging at the entrance of the theater.
When entering the theater, Yu Jiang and Belmode walked side by side at the front, so that on the one hand they could lead the way, and on the other hand they could ensure that their conversation would not be heard by those behind them.
"That boy is Yukiko's son?" Yujiang asked in a low voice.
"That's right, it seems to be called Kudo Shinichi." Belmode smiled, "Didn't you see Kudo Shinichi's photo before?"
Yu Jiang glanced at her sideways: "Two-year-old brats all look the same."
Belmod knew what Yu Jiang was surprised about, and she smiled inexplicably: "What? Did you still think he was a junior?"
Yu Jiang was silent for a second: "...They look very similar."
It almost made him suspect that one of the parties had made a cheating mistake.
"I was surprised when I first learned about it. Maybe there is some kind of connection."
Compared to Kudo Yukiko, a "low-key" son, Ikue pays more attention to his junior brother - especially after Kuroba Toichi disappeared.
For example, Ikue knows that Kuroba Kaito is currently studying at Ekoda High School, and his academic performance is not bad, but his personality is too out-of-touch and he is a troublemaker in the eyes of the teacher.
Soon we arrived backstage at the theater.
The actors have just changed into their costumes and are resting in the dressing room.
There were some photos posted on the makeup mirror. Yu Jiang glanced at them and looked away.
After meeting them, one of the actors in a blue skirt was pleasantly surprised: "Sharon! You really came to see our performance!"
Another person was also surprised: "I never thought that what our leader said would come true one day!"
"Awesome! It's like a dream!"
A group of actresses surrounded Belmod, chattering and discussing how to treat Sharon to dinner after the show, completely abandoning the others.
Finally, after chatting for a while, the actresses turned their attention to Kudo Yukiko, who also had extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance.
"Eh? Could that be..."
"That's right." Bellmode turned to look at Kudo Yukiko and introduced everyone with a smile, "She is the most popular female detective right now..."
"Your Excellency, Baroness!!" the actresses said in unison.
No way, after Kudo Yukiko retired from acting, she still has a very high reputation in the United States because of her husband. Especially after she appeared on a TV show and used the reasoning that her husband taught her in advance to find the murderer, she won a lot of fans and fans.
.
"Ah la ah la, what a pity."
A discordant and strange atmosphere suddenly inserted into the midst of laughter and laughter,
"I thought that when the Baroness came this time, she could untie that strange gift, but I didn't expect that she just brought her children backstage to watch the fun. It's really disappointing."
Kudo Shinichi: "Huh? What gift did you say?"
"It was a gift that this troupe received three days ago. It was a golden apple spray-painted with gold spray paint. It also had the strange words 'dedicated to the most beautiful women' written on it with animal blood." "Another boring myth." Yu Jiang curled his lips and dismissed it, "It is obviously a god, but it shows all the evil of human nature, as if the ultimate human nature is divinity. Ridiculous and ridiculous."
Belmode maintained the character of Sharon Wynyard, and it was not convenient for her to argue with a brat like Yu Jiang, but the actresses felt that Yu Jiang's words offended them.
They have had a weird atmosphere at Golden Apple these past few days. Yu Jiang still said such words at this time, which seemed to be insinuating that they exposed the bad nature of human nature.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the lounge was getting more and more subtle, and the disharmony seemed to be about to reach its peak, the actor Keith, who played the prince, appeared in time to ease the situation:
"My goddesses, don't be nervous, it must be a prank by some boring guy."
With his participation, the expressions of the other actresses finally became more natural.
"Okay, let's take Sharon and the others to the inside of our stage to have a look."
Led by several important actors in the troupe, Yu Jiang and the others walked towards the stage.
At this time, there were still dozens of minutes left before the performance, and the heavy curtain obscured the stage. The stage was completely dark, with only vague light illumination.
On the inside of the stage are some workshops and operating tables. The space is narrow and there are many mechanisms.
While walking, Mao Lilan suddenly looked up at something hanging on the ceiling: "What is that?"
"Well." Bellmode explained, "Those are stage costumes. They are hung on top because they take up too much space..."
As soon as he finished speaking, with the almost inaudible sound of the rope breaking, a piece of metal armor suddenly fell straight from the ceiling, hitting several people directly below.
Everyone's pupils shrank and they hurriedly ran away.
Among the ten people, only Yu Jiang had no intention of moving. He only glanced at the armor for the first time and then stayed where he was.
At the critical moment, Yu Jiang was pulled by a force and staggered, deviating from his original position.
At the same time, Rose, who plays Venus, was caught on a nail by her clothes. She wanted to escape but couldn't. She could only watch the armor coming towards her.
"Bang——"
The armor crashed to the ground, raising heavy dust.
Yu Jiang looked at Belmod with a "shua", his face covered with a layer of gloom: "If you want to kill me, you can do it openly, there is no need to do small tricks."
