Conan Moslin

Kogoro Mouri clenched his fist and hit Conan on the head, and a big, bright red bump quickly appeared.

"Children, don't meddle in adult matters!"

That's a child kidnapper and murderer! If Conan runs into that guy, he'll definitely be dead or at least injured.

Conan covered his head.

Before he could pick it up, Inspector Megure squatted down and touched Conan's head with white gloves.

"This is not a child's play." A serious expression appeared on his round face, and he frowned and looked at the children running behind Conan.

"There have been a lot of kidnappings recently, and the news has also warned people not to go out alone. Do the adults in your family really trust you to go out and play?"

Dr. Agasa rushed over and took a few steps forward: "Don't worry, I'll be watching them."

Looking at the old man with gray beard, Inspector Megure's expression softened a little.

The two fake kidnappers who had come around to listen as they moved the things out of the trunk secretly rolled their eyes in their hearts.

The old man wasn't there when the kids ran into their trunk.

And...listening to this...

"Is it kidnapping?"

"It's indeed a kidnapping." Conan thought to himself.

Just as Li An expected, when Conan encountered a case, it was like a sleepy person looking for a pillow. No matter how hard Maori Kogoro tried to persuade him, this dog-skin plaster just refused to follow Li An and the others into the school.

Naturally, several children expressed their desire to stay with Conan.

Since Kogoro Mouri is not particularly familiar with the nearby schools, he just wants to keep Xiaolan, and it's fine if Sonoko, who is bound to her, wants to come along to help.

It's okay for Conan to follow, after all, he is a lucky star.

Is a "lucky star".

He should be able to keep an eye on him.

But it would be fine if those kids followed him.

Is he handling a case or running a school?

Thinking that the time mentioned by the kidnappers was getting closer and closer, and time was becoming more urgent, Maori Kogoro didn't want to talk nonsense with them for a moment, and just said to Dr. Agasa with a sullen face: "Dr. Agasa, Conan and the others are going to trouble you..."

Dr. Agasa nodded in agreement.

Thinking of what Li An had just said, he called out to them, "You guys, don't you want to go to the stage play?"

Ayumi hesitated for a while, then thought about what Sister Li An had just said to them, and nodded obediently.

Mitsuhiko and Genta followed Ayumi's lead and nodded, and followed Dr. Agasa obediently.

Conan and Maori Kogoro breathed a sigh of relief. He needed to find a place as soon as possible to exchange information with the other people, try to delay time with the kidnappers, and find the place where the child was kidnapped as soon as possible.

Just as he was planning to call Xiaolan and Inspector Megure and the others to a secluded corner, he looked up and saw Sonoko holding Xiaolan and talking to Kuria who was walking over with a few other people.

Seeing her winking at him, Li An knew that she didn't want him to reveal the script to Xiaolan.

"I'm here for a performance." Li An simply replied.

Over there, Li An took out the blue and yellow badge, turned the knob twice, tapped it twice, and handed the badge to Xiaolan: "This badge belongs to Conan. He left it in the car. Remember to give it to him for me."

"Also, please tell Butler Aso that with Mr. Maori here, the young lady in his family will be fine."

Xiaolan nodded: "I understand."

She waved in Li An's direction and put the badge in her pocket.

……

The children obediently followed Kuriyasu, Dr. Agasa and two others into Teitan University.

The school is still very lively.

Although the atmosphere in that corner outside the gate is so tense, the campus is completely unaffected.

There were stages and stalls set up everywhere, and people who looked like students were completely absorbed in their work.

There are slogans saying "Campus Festival" in many places.

Clouds of smoke rose up from the food street, carrying the aroma of food towards you, and you could smell it from a long distance away.

The door of the haunted house is decorated to look like a bloody mouth, waiting to absorb the screams of the visitors.

On the high stage, a well-dressed person held a microphone, and melodious singing echoed in a corner of the campus.

As I walked and looked around, I thought that I am also a student, but I have not enjoyed the life that I should have on a university campus. It’s not bad to be like this today.

Is it really okay to ignore the kidnapping case?

She didn't care.

Some people recognized her, but most people were rational and just wondered secretly whether there would be a magic show today.

Probably, they didn't know about the connection between magic performances and detective stage plays.

not always.

The stage play promotional poster in front of me is clearly written.

Magic, detective stories, stage plays.

The poster features three side silhouettes, painted by students themselves.

A man was dragging a long black robe, the corners of which were soaked in starlight. Only a little bit of his toes and a bamboo stick could be seen through the robe.

There was a vague shadow surrounding "him".

There was a somewhat childish word engraved next to the hood.

"night".

Judging from the silhouette, the next person is a man with some coral curly hair and a long braid. He stands aside with his legs straight, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cross.

Next to it is a word that has a youthful feel.

"one".

Her curly hair was tied high, her hands were clasped together and her head was bowed in prayer, and the silhouette of a child was hugging her.

Next to it is a beautiful word.

"orchid".

However, in order to maintain the sense of mystery, the names of the actors did not appear.

Sanxiong and Nanami, who participated in the stage play and played the kidnappers, looked at each other and realized that they were just supporting roles.

……

The warehouse was still covered in dust.

After hanging up the phone, the kidnapper, who was still angry, released his hand that was covering the girl's mouth and laughed softly.

The laughter was low and gloomy, but it revealed an inexplicable confidence.

Very good, the "message" that should be delivered has been delivered.

He slowly and methodically untied the loose cloth tied around the girl's eyes and looked at the girl's eyes which were tightly closed and she dared not open them.

"Tell you a secret."

"The child I killed last time..."

He pushed open the warehouse door and said something before leaving.

Inside the door, the girl opened her eyes in horror.

It was bright, but a little strange.

After walking out of the door, the kidnapper took away the white slogan with the words "Gakuen Festival" posted on the glass of the warehouse and folded it carefully.

It was quiet outside the warehouse.

Then he made a phone call.

"Are you ready?"

"I got the car."

"Follow the previous plan."

"..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Kuiroku, we've been watched so closely recently... Even if we want to escape safely... can you please not kill this child?"

Goto is such an idiot!

"I won't kill her."

The person on the other end breathed a sigh of relief and quickly hung up the phone.

Keiroku sneered.

I won't kill her.

—but she wouldn’t survive, either.
