Chapter 287: Is It A Routine?
The magician assistant on the stage panicked and told other staff members: "It seems that something is wrong."
His voice was "inadvertently" heard by the microphone on the neckline, and bursts of exclamations began to ejaculate in the audience.
Some staff shouted "Close soon", and some people shouted "Get an axe!".
Conan sat on the stage, still moving like a mountain, and even felt a little bored.
Taking advantage of Suzuki Yuanko's tension, he hurried to popularize the science: "This is also a decisive escape from the magic, in order to create a tense atmosphere..."
As the words fell, a figure flashed across the side.
——Ran Maori flexibly flashed over the staff, rushed to the stage, shouted softly, and rushed up to the water tank.
However, before she kicked it, the curtain was pulled open. Xingkawa Togo looked very exhausted, walked out from behind the curtain and half-kneeled on the ground.
Just now, Xingkawa Togo suddenly felt cold behind his back.
According to the plan, he should have delayed it for two minutes before coming out.
But he still followed his intuition and showed up in advance.
Looking at the beautiful high school student walking towards him, Shinkawa Togo felt that he was overthinking. He came to his senses and began to memorize the lines.
Thanks to good luck, the staff who tried to rescue, and thanks to Ran Maori who "wake him up with screams when he was about to lose consciousness", Tsukigo Hirakawa stood up with the help of the staff, greeted the audience, and left the audience with applause.
Conan laughed in his heart, secretly wrote down the name of this magic show, and vowed that if there are still prize tickets here in the prize draw next time, he would definitely not draw it and let Ran Maori buy it next time.
After the magic of Hikari Togo, Ninety-Nine Yuanyao will play.
He is not young anymore, and his disciples are gradually emerging, and it is time for him to retire.
After hearing his smile and saying, "When this performance is over, it's time to go behind the scenes and spend more time with his family," Shiraishi nodded with relief, feeling that the difficulty of the task has been reduced a lot.
Ninety-nine Yuan Kang chose the magic of escaping from bird cages.
He would enter a cage that was hung twenty centimeters from the ground, and his assistants would cover the cage with a piece of cloth, then throw a sharp long sword and spear into the cage, and burn the cloth with the last fire, leaving only an empty cage - this is the script.
When the props were brought to the stage, Kinoshita Yoshiro continued to talk to Shiraishi's science:
"There is a small opening below the bird cage. After the magician enters the cage, he is blocked by a cloth, and then changes into the same clothes as his assistants, crawl out of the opening and mixes with the assistants--you see, in order to cater to Teacher Ninety-Nine's fat figure, this time the assistants have all put on beer belly."
As soon as the technique was exposed, the wonderful magic suddenly became boring.
Shiraishi looked at the cage twice, then looked at the sprayer next to him.
On the surface, this thing is to create a fairy spirit and cooperate with a magical magic atmosphere.
But in fact, it was intended to cover the magician's feet when he was out of the cage, and to cover the dark coat he still had on the ground after he changed - under the coat, the same outfit for the assistants.
No matter what the purpose is, this thing has helped Shiraishi a lot.
It slipped near the cage against the black curtain, and when Jiujiu Yuankang entered the cage, his assistants used the fog at the bottom to jump into the cage.
Then he took out its candle.
...
The music on the stage was loud, and the assistants were dancing around the cage and covered the cloth, ready to pick up the magician who was about to sneak out.
The assistant's clothes are all uniform tuxedo, with a beer belly and a clown mask.
Soon, the cloth at the back of the cage moved a little, and "Ninety-Nine Yuankang" bent down and crawled out.
The black coat was slapped on his arm and quickly threw it to the ground. The mask that was pinned behind his waist had already been worn on his face.
"Ninety-Nine Yuankang" stood up straight, took the hat handed by his assistant and put it on his head - now, he looked no different from the assistants around him.
As the commander of the entire magic game, he looked at the sword hanging on the top, picked up his long sword, and compared it with a "start" gesture.
The mechanism is activated, and the long knife falls from the top and penetrates deeply into the bird cage.
...
Ninety-nine Yuankang's appearance is very passerby.
After watching Suzuki Sonoko looked at it for a while, she lost interest.
She leaned on her seat boredly and looked at Shirashi. She thought resentfully why Shirashi slept so steadily and didn't take her to the side. At the same time, she felt that she was so gentlemanly and refused to fall on girls when she fell asleep. It was very different from some hooligans who liked to take advantage of her. She was worthy of being a man who attracted her attention.
Conan looked at her with resentment and shy face for a while, and felt that this classmate was even more difficult to understand than magic.
He was secretly complaining, but suddenly a commotion came from the front, and there was still someone shouting "It's dead!".
Conan turned around alertly and looked towards the front row.
The same method is usually not performed twice in a short period of time.
Even if Xingkawa Togo and Jiujiu Yuankang are not close and have not agreed on it, then after seeing Xingkawa Togo's routine, Jiujiu Yuankang should cancel this "pretending to escape and fail" routine in time.
... Or is this old magician predicted the audience's idea of "not playing the same routine twice". When the audience felt that the real routine was not the one that was not used, they suddenly started to create a new routine?
But soon, as the front row's curtain began to slowly close, Conan came to the conclusion.
——Probably something really happened.
Otherwise, the front curtain will not be closed because the magician can do too many operations during the period when it is closed. In this way, regardless of whether the final escape is successful or not, in the eyes of the audience, this will be a failed magic trick.
...
The assistants were the first to discover something wrong.
——In addition to the mechanism knife falling from the sky, for the sake of program effect, assistants will also insert the knife into the cage with one hand.
Someone felt the resistance in the middle, but he thought he had hit someone else's knife and continued to insert it in another direction. After all, "Ninety-Nine Yuankang" had already drilled out of the cage under their gaze. No one expected that there would be someone in the cage.
Later, when they found blood dripping on the edge of the cage, they finally realized something was wrong.
And it was almost time for the scheduled time, but Jiujiu Yuankang never showed up at the designated location.
A bold man lifted the cover and peeked inward. He vaguely saw a man in the dark cage with a sharp knife stuck to his head in the dark cage.
The assistant screamed and fell to the ground.
At this time, the ignition device installed by Kiko Yoshiro at the edge of the cage was activated. The flammable cover cloth was stained with flames and burned out instantly, revealing the corpse in the cage.
The screams in the hall instantly overshadowed the background music.
Almost at the same time, a light hit the center of the audience.
The man in black who had taken off the beer belly with a clown mask and a tuxedo, who had already removed the "beer belly" in the way, appeared where Ninety-Nine Yuankang should have appeared, and was leisurely bowing to the audience around him.
Those who do this at this time are not the murderer, but definitely the accomplice! - This is the conclusion drawn by most people.
And Conan thought more than they were.
While Ran Mouri hesitated to go up and kick, Conan kept capturing the information on the suspect.
——Black clothes, masks, superb magic, will appear out of thin air...
Conan thought about it, and a person suddenly popped up in his mind.
