Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 1538 1538 [Tool Man Detective]

At the same time, next to the stage.

Inspector Yasa didn't have time to feel the fact that he almost bumped his head. He climbed onto the stage on all hands and feet. Looking at the blood dripping down under the steel knife bed, he couldn't help but let out an ungentlemanly curse.

Then he strode towards the steel bed: "Hurry up and put the person down!"

"You..." The two beautiful female assistants looked at him, and then at Jiang Xia behind him, a little at a loss.

"Untie that piece of cloth, raise the knife board up, immediately!" Inspector Yasa glanced at the huge bed of steel nails, feeling that the person on the bed must be dead.But the process still needs to go through a little bit. If he continues to be pressed under that steel plate, he will definitely die more thoroughly.

The assistants hesitated for a moment, and opened the cloth around the steel knife's bed.

Inspector Asaph frowned and looked over.

However, it is different from the imaginary "sandwich sandwiched between steel plates"-the magician is not sandwiched between two steel plates, but is lying on top of the two steel plates, his body is completely intact.

Seeing someone rushing to the stage, he turned around, sat up gracefully, and then showed a tolerant smile: "Oh, it seems that a little detective was overwhelmed by my thrilling performance and mistakenly thought I... Uh, you are ...?"

Seeing Inspector Asaph with an angry face, the magician was stunned for a moment.

As soon as Jiang Xia arrived in London, she solved three cases in a row, and they were published in the newspapers, which attracted some attention.This time, the magician invited him over, not only to catch Yoko Kinoshita, but also to make Jiang Xia rush to the stage after seeing the "help signal", so as to make the show even better.

——The magic he performed was so realistic that even professional detectives couldn't see it through, and he rushed to the stage to save people. This will undoubtedly make his tricks more recognized by more people, and it will also make the atmosphere of the scene more enthusiastic.

Unexpectedly, the situation was different from what was expected, Jiang Xia did run up, but before him was a middle-aged man holding a police card.

"..." Why did it alarm the police?
The magician really didn't want to deal with the police, and always felt that this kind of official power would be troublesome.

He didn't dare to use Inspector Asa to praise himself wildly, so he changed the subject and restrained himself a bit, and looked at the policeman: "Haha, I'm really sorry, it seems that there was a little misunderstanding between us...Thank you guys Help me out!"

Then the magician turned to the audience and hurriedly ended the farce: "There will be more thrilling magic tricks in the second half, so stay tuned!"

Even so, the audience in the audience did not know that they had made an appointment with the "help gesture" in advance.

Seeing the policeman rushing to the stage to save people, the audience covered their lips and let out good-natured sneers, thinking that the policeman might have seen too little escape magic and had never seen the world, so he was frightened by magic and thought there was a murder case.

Inspector Yasa did not expect that things would develop like this.

Facing the different gazes from the audience, he was so ashamed that he walked off the stage cursing in his heart.

Jiang Xia also followed in a low-key manner.

Back in your seat, the show resumes.

In the warm atmosphere, Inspector Yasa turned his head to look at him aggrievedly: "What the hell is going on?!"

Jiang Xia sighed: "That's what you understand—Mr. Magician felt that someone wanted to kill him, so before the performance started, he made an appointment with us for a 'help gesture', which he just made on the steel knife bed action.

"But now that I think about it, that grasping action is indeed quite common. Maybe just now, he was just pretending to struggle and made that action unintentionally, which caused me to misunderstand."

Okiya Subaru eavesdropped with his ears pricked up, and expressed different opinions in his heart: "..." I always feel that according to his shallow understanding of the head of the magician and the reputation of the magician in the group, that just now It turned out that it was not an "accidental coincidence" at all, but a scene deliberately created by the magician.

At the same time, Okiya Subaru suddenly remembered the conversation between the magician and his apprentice that he overheard at the side door just before Jiang Xia and the others arrived - the magician wanted to "make Jiang Xia's 'light bulb' a flashlight that illuminates his charm" .

Okiya Subaru: "..." That's what it means. This... well, it's just that Jiang Xia has a good temper. After being calculated like this, she is still willing to think about things for the better from the perspective of a magician. If it is another person, the team leader Probably killed that day.

...But having said that, this idea seems familiar?

After a while, Okiya Subaru remembered—on the plane before, when Jiang Xia was sprayed with smoke by that bad knitted hat, he seemed to have experienced a similar mental journey.

And if I remember correctly, not long after that, the man in the knitted hat who was very unfriendly to Jiang Xia suddenly died on the spot.

Okiya Subaru: "..." Why, why did you suddenly think of this?Don't think too much, isn't the leader of the magician still alive and well...

The thoughts in his mind began to stir crazily again, Okiya Subaru pressed his forehead heavily, trying not to think of some weird and terrible thoughts.

Next to him, Inspector Asa listened to what Jiang Xia said, and some of his thoughts coincided with Okiya Subaru: "Coincidence? But why do I think that bastard magician is just playing tricks? He is a magician. Teacher, can't you tell the difference between various gestures?"

Jiang Xia replied smoothly as if reciting the answer: "It is indeed a bit strange, but if he was really asking for help just now, but I refused to help because I was worried that he was playing tricks, then he would be dead—— Losing a little face is better than losing a life."

Inspector Asaph: "...?"

...is that fair?
He silently changed his sitting position, feeling a lot of emotion, and felt that the colored glasses he had on Jiang Xia before might be too heavy.

——The detective's previous actions probably just wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, and did not mean to contempt the London police.

……

This interesting episode was not taken seriously by many viewers.

The performance continued, and finally, the first half of the performance was over, and it was time for the intermission.

Jiang Xia came backstage together with others.

When he entered the magician's lounge, he saw that Winter City Huanyang was already sitting in it, reminiscing about his own classic performance just now.

Hearing Jiang Xia and the others approaching, the magician turned his head and said first: "Oh, I'm so sorry just now—it's just that I was lying on the steel knife bed at that time, and suddenly wanted to see if Mr. Detective really paid attention to my gestures, so as not to When something really happens, you don't have time to react."

Yoko Kinoshita was also in the auditorium just now, and also saw what happened.

After all, she is a celebrity who was born as an idol, and she has had many ups and downs in the entertainment industry. She is as familiar as going home when she goes on stage, and she also sees the magician's intentions.
