Chapter 710: Rabbit Out of the Cage
Great Detective: {Big brother! Dear big brother! Stop it, brother! Can I lose the bet?}
Martin: {Think about it first, your brother is a cat. Can a cat carry a cell phone on its body?}
Conan: ...
It wasn't that Conan was confused because he had been locked in the coffin for too long. He thought Martin had already taken the little doctor to meet up with the others and deliberately ignored him.
Since it wasn't Martin who replied, that means Martin hasn't gone back yet... What were he and the little doctor doing?
Great Detective: {Graybara?}
Martin: {You're in trouble?}
Great Detective: {Well, I've been locked up, and my hands and feet are tied up with tape. Do you have time to come to the prop warehouse to save me?}
Martin: "If you don't want to move, how about I tell Mao Lilan for you? Or call the police?"
Great Detective: {Don't worry, if Martin and the little doctor haven't returned yet, they must have gone somewhere. It's not time to call the police yet, I can still think of a solution.}
Martin: {You can transform, right? I haven't seen it myself yet.}
Great Detective: {If I transform, everyone in this troupe will kill each other because of my passive skill.}
Martin: {Oh, that's horrible. By the way, you said your hands and feet were bound with duct tape? How did you send emails?}
Great Detective: {I have my own way.}
Great Detective: {If you are willing to help, find a way to tell Martin that Yabuki Atsushi poisoned the prop wine used in the performance, intending to poison Komazuka Hiroshi.}
"……"So complicated.
Ai Haibara lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then took out Rabbit's Poké Ball from her schoolbag.
Because Usagi's Poké Ball is a luxury ball with a black gold ring, and Diamond's is an ordinary red and white ball, so there is no way they would be mistaken.
As soon as it was taken out, the black Poké Ball began to vibrate restlessly.
"Listen... this is what it is, this is what it is... go and tell your master about this." Huiyuan Ai said to the Poké Ball: "If you don't remember it or convey it incorrectly, it's none of my business."
Rabbit has been forced to stay in the Poké Ball for almost the entire day and couldn't get close to its trainer. It was already feeling suffocated. After hearing what Haibara Ai said, it transformed into a beam of red light and jumped out of the Poké Ball, then "flew" to the backstage at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Maori Kogoro shuddered, stretched his neck and looked around: "What just passed by?"
……
Martin Sakamoto and the little doctor were running around backstage looking for the prop sword, but they didn't find it. Instead, they discovered that the foreign little Robert was sneaking around the corner of the corridor and peeking at the elevator behind the stage.
So Robert the dog looked at the elevator furtively, and Martin and Little Doc the dog looked at Robert furtively.
After watching for a while, he finally figured out something: Robert really wanted to get closer to the elevator and do something, but now the performance time was getting closer and closer, and more and more staff gathered backstage. Even if Robert pretended to pass by the elevator inadvertently, he didn't dare to reach out because of other people's attention.
Finally, Robert frowned, gritted his teeth as if he had given up something, then turned around and went back to the actor's preparation room to put on his costume.
"So suspicious." Without Martin saying anything, even the little doctor knew that Robert's behavior was wrong.
Martin swept his tail and jumped down from the top of the little doctor's head. "I'll go and attract attention. Doctor, go and see what's going on over there."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out. Robert wanted to kill Yabuki Atsushi before he exchanged roles with Yabuki Atsushi. He must have done something on the elevator. Now that the roles have been switched back, he wants to undo what he did to avoid committing suicide.
Martin Sakamoto walked over confidently, and as a cat that suddenly appeared backstage, he attracted the attention of nearby staff.
"Huh? Why is there a cat here?"
"It's wearing a scarf. It's not a stray cat, right? Who brought the cat backstage?"
"Could it be a spectator's cat? Are there any spectators entering the venue at this time?"
Martin Sakamoto licked the back of his hand, and then suddenly said: "Question, the little animals in the forest are having a meal together, but only the little elephant is angry. Where are they having the meal together?"
“Hey! The cat is talking!?”
Then the little doctor quietly slipped along the corner to the side of the elevator. As a child, his instinctive reaction was to touch and look at the elevator.
She is an experienced mechanical engineering inventor and can tell whether there is electricity just by touching it.
But in fact, I noticed something was wrong before my fingers touched the elevator, because the temperature of the elevator was a little hot.
Soon the little doctor found that someone had pulled two wires to connect the metal part of the elevator to the circuit. However, the little doctor scratched his head and didn't understand why they did this - the live wire and the neutral wire were all connected to the elevator, which was equivalent to short-circuiting the metal part of the elevator between the live wire and the neutral wire into the circuit, forming a heating element similar to a kettle. Even if someone touched the elevator and then touched the ground, it was only a small part of the voltage on the elevator that was connected in parallel, and the current passing through the body would not be fatal - there was no need to worry about it.
The person who did this must have never attended elementary school, right?
So the little doctor sneaked back the same way he came here.
When Martin was acting cute to attract the attention of the staff, he saw the figure of the little doctor coming back behind the staff and knew that he could leave.
How should I retreat? These people have already decided to arrest me and send me to the laboratory.
"Ji——!" Suddenly a chestnut shadow floated by, and then Martin Sakamoto disappeared, leaving only a sentence floating in the air: "The answer is the Meteorological Bureau..."
"Huh? What just flew past?"
"A bird? It looks like a big one?"
"Ah, the talking kitten is gone."
After they reunited, the young doctor stared at Rabbit and commented on the strangeness of the lift: "Sakamoto, why on earth did they power up the lift?"
After listening to the little doctor's retelling, Martin didn't know what to say: "Maybe he felt that the elevator was too cold and his butt would be frozen if he fell down, so he wanted to warm it up."
Then Martin raised his head and looked at the Bunny who was holding him: "Where's Bunny? Why did you suddenly come here?"
"Chi, chi! Chi chi chi!" Remembering the words that the human cub wanted to convey, Rabbit Ji shouted exaggeratedly and eagerly, even letting go of Martin and waving his paws to use body language.
"Oh, there's a bad guy, right? His name is five characters? Four characters? Three characters? Oh, I forgot these three names are all three characters long... Bad guy? Props? Poison?" Under the confused gaze of the little doctor, Martin and Rabbit, who didn't bring a translator, communicated smoothly: "Yabuki Atsushi poisoned the wine used as a prop for the performance." The little doctor slowly became petrified.
When one problem is solved, the gourd will pop up again. It cannot be solved. There is no way to solve it.
Martin also sighed tiredly: "Doctor, how about these three idiots just die if they want to? Let's go home after watching the show, okay?"
The little doctor has now turned into a gray Q-version man. He looked up after hearing Martin's words, thought for a moment, and then said in frustration: "Sakamoto, let's call the police."
"Should we call the police? If we do, it won't be a drama anymore, okay?"
“No, it’s okay.” The little doctor’s tearful expression didn’t look like it was okay at all: “If I don’t want to watch it, then (sniffle) I won’t watch it. Actually, I don’t care at all (sniffle).”
The play began at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Why hasn't Conan come back yet?" Xiaolan looked at the empty seat next to her and muttered softly.
Maori Kogoro on the other side of the empty seat looked nonchalant: "Those little brats must have run around again. I hope they didn't cause any trouble."
Xiaolan looked worried: "Will there be any accidents during the performance?"
"How is that possible!" Maori Kogoro didn't like what he heard. "I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, am personally in charge of the performance. How could there be any accidents?"
Xiaolan: I am even more worried if you say so.
On the other side, after Shinonome Mingno found that the young doctor still hadn't come back, she had no interest in watching the drama at all and stood up from her seat: "Sorry, I have to go find the doctor."
As a result, three vacancies appeared in the first row of VIP seats.
But the show goes on...
Martin, Rabbit and the little Doc hid in a dark corner, looking down at the performance on the stage.
"Doctor, do you understand this time?" Martin asked knowingly.
Dr. Dongyun was staring at the stage with a look of deep resentment on his face. It was obvious that he didn't understand why these people were wearing masks and not talking, but gesticulating with their hands.
After all, these people are performing pantomime. However, not all pantomimes are difficult to understand. For example, Mr. Bean or Tom and Jerry are silent comedies that are suitable for all ages.
So the little doctor couldn't understand it, or there was a problem with the script setting and the actors' performance tension.
At this moment on the stage, the 'king' announced that he was seriously ill, and the 'minister' was deliberately creating all kinds of conspiracies. However, the 'prince', who had love and dreams in his heart, broke all the conspiracies of the 'minister' with the special BGM that sounded again and again. Finally, the whole drama came to the climax, the duel between the prince and the minister.
The two men each drew out their handguard rapiers, and the swords collided with each other. Silver light flashed, flying up and down, the sword light illuminated the sky and the sky was blue, and the ashes of the disaster flew away, and the past and the present were peaceful.
"Is it my illusion?" Maori Kogoro muttered quietly, "It feels like their playing style is a little different from the rehearsal. It seems like they played it the wrong way."
To be more specific, compared to the rehearsal, the minister used the prince's sword moves, and the prince used the minister's sword moves.
But in the end, the outcome remained unchanged. The minister narrowly won the duel. He first knocked the sword out of the prince's hand, and then stabbed the prince's body directly with the sword.
As the blade pierced his chest, the prince's body suddenly collapsed and he fell prone on the stage.
"Eh..." Mao Lilan's expression was confused: "Isn't this a pantomime? Why do I feel like I heard the prince's moan?"
"He must have been hurt when he fell down, right?" Maori Kogoro said afterwards, "Don't mention it. They acted really hard. He just fell straight down like that. He didn't dare to fall like that during rehearsal. This body really looks like a corpse."
Kogoro Mori's affirmation.
After witnessing the fall of the 'prince', the 'minister' took two steps back, looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. Then, as he was ecstatic and enjoying the future, he tripped and fell out of the city wall.
Bang! A muffled sound was heard.
Perhaps it was because the actors’ superb performances had infected countless audiences with emotion, and many of them, especially those with front-row tickets, had a feeling—it seemed as if the minister’s thump on the ground was accompanied by a groan.
Could it be that the actor was really injured? But why can I still hear the crackling sound of electricity?
On the stage, the 'King' who had not appeared since the first scene when he announced that he was seriously ill appeared.
Seeing that both the prince and the minister, two threats, had disappeared, the king happily picked up a bottle of red wine and poured a glass.
Looking at the corpse of Robert, the prince, lying on the ground, Komazuka Hiroshi was really happy and wanted to replace the wine in his cup with real red wine. But unfortunately, the wine in the cup was just red sugar water.
As he thought about this, Komazuka Hiroshi drank the 'red wine' in one gulp, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he reached out to grab his throat which was stinging with pain, while groaning in pain.
Who put mustard in my prop wine!
