After watching for a while, there was a burst of noisy footsteps along the long and empty corridor - it seemed that someone was approaching here, and judging from the sound, there was more than one person coming.
Okiya Subaru: "!"
Conan was also startled and looked at the door alertly. Fortunately, as a detective with a sharp mind, he had already considered the current situation and where to hide when he came in.
When he heard those people approaching, he quickly pointed to the human body cutting prop box next to him and looked at Jiang Xia:
"Children are easier to hide. Haibara and I can just find a place and squat down. You can be easily discovered. Lie down quickly and I'll close the lid for you! - Mr. Okiya is one of their people and is repairing it in the prop room.
These are normal, and it’s okay if they are discovered.”
Okiya Subaru: "..." I have something, I have something! I'm not familiar with them, and they specifically told me not to approach this place alone before and steal secrets. If they want to kill me...
But Jiang Xia was the only one who came to help. He couldn't compete with others for a hiding place, so he had to look around to see where he could hide.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Xia suddenly walked towards him.
Then, under Subaru Okiya's puzzled gaze, he pressed him into the box and said to Conan: "Mr. Okiya seems to be working part-time. I'm afraid the other party won't let him in a secret place like the prop room."
Move freely, and it's best to hide."
Then he looked at Subaru Okiya: "I'll go somewhere else, you hide here."
Before Okiya Subaru could react, Jiang Xia looked up at the ceiling supporting various brackets, climbed to a high place along a very tall prop, grabbed the steel bar exposed above his head and climbed up, and soon he was on the roof.
Hide it well.
Wearing dark clothes, he blended perfectly into the darkness.
"..." Hui Yuan Ai looked up at this scene with a complicated mood: This is probably the only advantage of black clothes.
Conan saw Subaru Okiya lying on the human body cutting box, and quickly erected the wooden boards around the prop box to completely block the people inside.
Okiya Subaru looked at the rattling boards and suddenly realized something slowly: "..." Wait, it was too dark just now to see clearly. This, this seems to be an unusually common thing in magic performances.
The prop - it's the one that makes people lie down in a long box, then cuts the box in half with the person and the box, and then cuts it into four halves. Isn't this thing unlucky...
But now it's too late to regret.
Conan moved incredibly quickly and installed this complicated magic box in just a few clicks.
Immediately afterwards, Subaru Okiya heard two sets of footsteps and quickly ran to a nearby hiding place - Conan and Haibara Ai also hid.
Just as the four of them hid themselves, two people walked in at the door.
——The two beautiful female assistants of the magician, wearing low-cut tights and a coat casually draped over their shoulders, walked into the room while chatting.
"You said he was looking for Jiang Xia for a commission? But why do I think he just wanted to use that little detective to lure Miss Yoko over? Humph, such a popular female idol dares to do it. This guy is really a coward."
"Forget it, no matter what the situation is, it won't affect us... Speaking of which, who do you think was responsible for the previous accident that almost seriously injured that scumbag?"
"Who knows, but the perpetrator is really, if you want to do it, you should do it beautifully. Now it is too bad, and the person is not killed, but it makes him alert. Huh, he is really a person who fails to succeed but fails to succeed.
waste."
The other woman covered her lips and smiled softly: "That's right. If you and I join forces, we can definitely do things beautifully."
…
I don’t know if they are joking, testing each other, or really want to do something to the magician. The two beautiful female assistants have something to say, and the more they talk, the more lively they become.
At this time, a voice came from behind them.
A man yelled angrily: "What are you talking about! There is indeed something wrong with the leader's character, but it is not thanks to his skills that we can live such a stable life and even be visible around the world!"
Jiang Xia lowered his head and looked over, used the elimination method to sort out the list, and found that this should be the prop master who owed money to the magician.
Next to the prop master, stood a young man - the magician's trusted apprentice, who also nodded in agreement:
"That's right! Even if you don't thank the teacher, you still joke about the accident. This is too much!"
The magician's ex-girlfriend snorted and glared at the prop master: "Thanks to him? He just knows how to hype up and use women to climb up. I think you did this for him because you owed him money."
Let’s talk.”
"..."
This time, it hits the mark.
The prop master's voice lowered, and his tone couldn't help but become false: "I, it's none of your business whether I owe him money or not! I don't owe you money."
Not to be outdone, the ex-wife looked at the magician’s apprentice:
"You say you want to thank him, but in fact you hate him deeply in your heart - in our opinion, your skills have been mature for a long time, but he never lets you perform on the stage and only lets you be a person in the corner.
The photographer taking pictures silently... Haha, he must be worried that someone will steal his limelight.
"Although he is not too young now, he still has a lot of time before he retires. Think about it, a few decades later, you will be gray-haired, still holding a camera, doing the work of an apprentice, holding an apprentice's
With a meager salary, only that guy shines on stage alone... Are you really willing to do this?"
"..."
The apprentice didn't know whether he was escaping from that reality or didn't want to argue with her, so he turned away angrily: "That doesn't mean I hate him! I just, just..."
His voice lowered and became silent.
The two men who came aggressively to interrupt the assistant's conversation stopped neatly in one round.
The ex-wife flipped her hair and was too lazy to continue arguing with them: "Let's go, the performance is about to start, we have to get ready quickly, don't waste time here."
The ex-girlfriend looked at the prop master and mocked: "If you have time to eavesdrop on what we are talking about, you might as well shave off your beard first - you look like a poor gambler."
After saying that, the two women walked away laughing, and the apprentice quickly followed.
The prop master was extremely angry with them, and was reminded of the sad thing about owing money. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became.
Seeing the cutting box next to him that was often used by two women, he couldn't help but stepped on it and cursed: "Bullshit!"
Wow——
The prop box, together with the table below, was kicked to the other side, and the box board crashed into pieces.
Hiding in the corner, Haiyuan Ai's eyes twitched, and he turned his head politely, without looking at the miserable box: "..." Although I feel a little sorry for Mr. Okiya for thinking this way, but... Fortunately, Jiang Xia
