Chapter 708 (4k) Saving People is Hard
Seeing that Komazuka Hiroshi was about to approach, Martin Sakamoto sighed softly: What a useless detective, I have to take action at the critical moment.
Making a 'hush' gesture to the trembling little doctor, Martin Sakamoto walked out gracefully with a cat-like step and glanced at Komazuka Hiro with disdain: "Meow."
Just pretend there's only an ordinary cat here.
Komazuka Hiroshi: Why does this cat's meow sound so bad? It's like a person imitating a cat's meow.
Martin: Why are you staring at me when I meowed for you? Are you waiting for me to sing and meow for you?
Hiroshi Komazuka: I remember now that the cat was standing on the head of the kid with glasses. It seems that the kid and the cat were hiding there.
Martin: You knew it was just a cat, but you didn't leave immediately. What were you waiting for? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? Or are you afraid that I'll tell the police about it?
Komazuka Hiroshi: Wait, even though a cat can't possibly tell others what happened here, if it runs out and meets Maori Kogoro, wouldn't Maori Kogoro find out that the little ghost with glasses is missing? What if it brings Maori Kogoro to look for the little ghost?
Martin: WOC, the way this guy looks at me is very strange. I heard that in one episode the murderer killed a passing cat as a witness. Could it be you?
Komazuka Hiroshi has already turned his thoughts into actions. He squatted on the ground, lowered his body, and stretched out one hand to the ground: "Mimi, slurp, slurp, come here."
When facing unfamiliar animals, lowering your height can effectively reduce the animal's vigilance, and making feeding gestures can attract the animal to come closer.
This trick, which has always worked for various pets, only made Martin tilt his neck back and look around with a look of horror: Who is calling Mimi in this room?
Seeing the cat standing there motionless, Hiroshi Komazuka took a step forward and approached Martin little by little.
"Meow meow meow (Hello uncle), meow meow meow (Goodbye uncle)." Martin jumped into the air nimbly and ran out of the warehouse door.
However, Komazuka Hiroshi turned around and grabbed someone's fate by the scruff of the neck.
Martin: I suggest that Sakamoto should do some exercise. It's so embarrassing to be caught by someone so easily.
However, Hiroshi Komazuka did not brutally kill the cat to silence it. Instead, he treated Conan the same way, he used a piece of tape to seal Martin's mouth and tied his hands and feet. Then he used a box to turn Martin upside down and put a stage scene prop in the shape of a Buddha statue on top of it.
After finishing all this, Komazuka Hiroshi smiled triumphantly, but suddenly his expression changed, he turned pale, and his hands began to tremble.
"Oh no! Why am I craving for alcohol at this time..." Mumbling to himself, Hiroshi Komazuka, who should have checked if there was anyone hiding in any corner, suddenly suffered from alcohol withdrawal reaction and hurriedly left the warehouse.
After he had been gone for a while, the little doctor slowly came out from his hiding place.
Compared to the ordinary little friends, the little doctor performed very well. He didn't make any sound or move out of panic from beginning to end.
But the good performance of the little doctor was not because she was so calm. On the contrary, the little doctor was so panicked that she was still shaking. It was also because of her panic that the little doctor was so stiff that she could neither speak nor move.
The trembling little doctor walked towards the box where Martin Sakamoto was pinned, and then he pushed down the heavy object on it, and then he lifted the box and tore off the tape on Martin's body.
"Sakamoto." The little doctor with tears in his eyes hugged Martin Sakamoto in his arms and squeezed him until he was deformed.
"The Doctor is awesome! Fortunately, the Doctor is here, otherwise I, the cat, would be doomed." Martin knew how to coax a child, and the little Doctor stopped crying: "The Doctor is smart and brave, he's amazing..."
Bang! Conan was lying in the sarcophagus, his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't open his foot-strengthening shoes, but he could hear the noise outside and knew that Martin had been released by the doctor. So Conan knocked on the lid of the sarcophagus to remind them to release him quickly.
But it was an Egyptian pharaoh's sarcophagus, the kind with Tutankhamun's golden mask carved on the outside. Such a coffin made banging sounds, and the lid shook as if something was about to break out of the coffin. It was a scary scene in this dim warehouse.
The young doctor only had Sakamoto in his eyes, and had long forgotten about Conan being thrown in. Especially in such a horrific scene, the young doctor only had one thing in his mind: "Sakamoto, let's run!"
"That's the big one..." Before Martin could remind him, the little doctor grabbed it and ran out of the warehouse.
Conan in the sarcophagus: ???
Forget it. Anyway, there needs to be an actor hiding inside the coffin when it is on the stage, so there must be a breathing hole. Even without the breathing hole, the air inside can support the great detective for two hours. I'll tell you when someone asks me where the great detective has gone.
The young professor carried Martin Sakamoto and ran to a safe place. He still didn't think about Conan being captured. Instead, he first remembered that Komazuka Hiroshi replaced the prop sword with a real sword: "What should we do, Sakamoto? If that person replaced the sword, the actor will die during the performance, right?"
"What else can we do?" Martin squinted his eyes and gathered his strength: "Call the police."
"If we call the police, will the stage play be cancelled?" asked the young doctor.
"Of course, it was an attempted murder after all."
Although there is a high probability that no evidence such as fingerprints will be found, and the only witnesses are two children and a cat, the great detective's words are more credible to Inspector Megure and his team than what their mother says.
"No! The stage play must go on!" the little doctor said excitedly.
"?"
Could it be that the commission that Kogoro Mouri received was to ensure the smooth performance of the play, and the little doctor wanted to help Kogoro Mouri complete the commission?
But as far as Martin knows, although the little doctor is definitely a kind child, given his age, he is not yet capable of being this meticulous.
Sure enough, the next moment, the little doctor clenched his fist and said, "I want to watch a stage play! Ｏ(>A<)Ｏ"
In short, the little doctor must see this stage play no matter what, but the prerequisite is that no one can really die on the stage.
"Then I'll teach you a method. Um... I remember that Dr. Agasa gave you a spare voice changer. Do you have it with you?"
……
Robert, the actor who played the prince, quietly brought his tools to the back of the stage, to the corner where the elevator was located.
Seeing that there was no one around, Robert took out the electrical tools he brought with him, pulled out two wires from the power box, and connected the electricity to the lift.
After the minister in the play stabs himself to death, he will slip and fall from the castle, that is, land on this elevator. The actor who plays the minister, Atsushi Yabuki, will be electrocuted when he falls.
Before being discovered, Robert put away his tools and returned to his actor's preparation room.
In front of the preparation room, he suddenly heard a conversation between a man and a woman: Woman: "It's so strange, the real sword is gone, I can't find it anywhere."
Man: "It would be terrible if the wrong sword was taken. Keep looking!"
I couldn't tell whose voice it was, but it sounded like someone who worked as a chores staff in the troupe. Although the female voice sounded strange, they said, the real sword is missing?
The real sword used for practice and the prop sword used in the official performance look exactly the same, so if I mistakenly pick the prop, it will be troublesome. Especially since I am playing the role of a prince who is to be stabbed to death by a sword, if the sword is real... I will be stabbed to death by that bastard Yabuki Atsushi.
After all, his life was his own, so Robert couldn't rely solely on the chores. He immediately went out to the prop warehouse to check if there was anything wrong with the prop sword.
At the corner of the corridor, the little doctor with Martin Sakamoto on his head breathed a long sigh of relief - the voice Robert just heard was made by them. The little doctor used the voice changer given by Dr. Agasa to change into an adult female voice, and the voice made by Martin Sakamoto through the scarf was originally the voice of an adult.
As long as Robert himself discovered that the prop sword had turned into a real sword, he would definitely find someone to exchange it with before the performance to protect his own life. The stage play could go on smoothly and no one would die on the stage. This is cause for celebration.
The little doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back with a happy smile on her face, waving her hands. She was going to find Mingno to tell him about her experience. When passing by Robert's employee preparation room, Martin poked his head out and saw the electrician's box that he had placed inside that had not been hidden yet. He suddenly realized that this matter did not seem that simple.
"Doc, how about we follow him to the warehouse to check? What if that guy is a complete idiot and doesn't notice the problem?"
The young doctor, who trusted Sakamoto unconditionally, immediately changed direction, secretly followed Robert's steps, and returned to the prop warehouse.
In the prop warehouse, Conan, lying in the sarcophagus, had not yet saved himself when he heard footsteps of someone approaching outside.
Because he didn't know if it was Hiroshi Komazuka who had returned, Conan didn't rush to make a sound.
"Damn it, they mixed up the real sword and the prop sword. Do these idiots want to kill me?" Conan heard a young voice that was not Komazuka Hiroshi's. Combined with this sentence... was it Robert?
Robert did not think that someone was trying to kill him on purpose, but he realized that his life was almost in danger.
So Robert picked up the real sword and was about to go out to argue with the props team. Conan in the coffin and the little doctor outside the door both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the noise. But before Conan in the coffin was ready to make some noise to attract Robert's attention and the little doctor outside the door was ready to run away, Robert suddenly changed his mind.
"Wait...it would be more refreshing to stab that guy to death with my own hands instead of letting him be electrocuted, right?" Robert muttered to himself, then put the real sword back to where the prop sword was, turned around and walked out empty-handed: "Think of a way to swap our roles."
Conan in the coffin:?
The little doctor outside the door:? ?
Martin on the little doctor's head: 666
Well, not only Komazuka Hiroshi wants to kill Robert, Robert also has someone he wants to kill.
After Robert walked away, the little doctor, who was in a panic and trembling state, came out: "Saka... Sakamoto... what... what... should we do? We..."
Martin gave a helpless suggestion: "Let's follow him and see what that guy wants to do."
Robert walked straight into the preparation room of Yabuki Atsushi, who was playing the role of the minister: "Yabuki."
"What?" Yabuki Atsushi looked at the other party: "Are you finally able to pay back the money?"
Robert looked ashamed: "No, it's because I still can't pay you back for a long time that I came to apologize to you."
Yabuki Atsushi looked sullen, it was obvious that Robert's apology was worthless.
Before he could speak, Robert continued, "To express my apology, let's switch roles in this performance."
In this play, although three characters died, the prince played by Robert is the undisputed protagonist. This prince has kind and noble goals, legitimate right to inherit the throne, strong and unyielding character and heroism, but he always fails in the process of fighting against fate. He is the character in this play that is most likely to arouse the audience's pity and fear.
Exchanging roles, giving the leading role to the other party, it seems that Robert is very sincere on the surface.
"Are you crazy?" Yabuki Atsushi was still angry: "It's less than two hours before the show starts. If we switch roles now, can you familiarize yourself with the script?"
"Does it matter? This is a pantomime anyway, so there's no need to memorize lines." Robert said easily.
After hearing this, Yabuki Atsushi thought about it carefully. Indeed, it was just a pantomime without lines. The rehearsals during this period of time had made them very familiar with each other's parts. There was no need to memorize words, and swapping roles was no big deal.
Imagine again, as a prince, taking off his mask and accepting the flowers, applause, and admiration from the audience. Yabuki Atsushi immediately stood up and shook hands with Robert, agreed to exchange roles, and then the two exchanged their costumes and masks.
In the corner, the little doctor was shaking again: "Sakamoto...what should I do...?"
"Emm..." Martin was also thinking.
Komazuka Hiroshi wanted to kill Robert, and Robert used the same trick to kill Yabuki Atsushi.
If this continues, Robert will use the sword that Komazuka Hiroshi exchanged for to stab Yabuki Atsushi to death on the stage.
However, not long after Robert hurriedly left Yabuki Atsushi's preparation room, the little doctor and Martin looked inside and found that Yabuki Atsushi had taken out a bottle of red wine and a syringe that looked unhealthy.
Then he inserted the needle of the syringe into the oak cork of the red wine and injected the suspicious liquid into the red wine.
According to common sense, this is poisoning, and it is obvious that Yabuki Atsushi also has someone he wants to kill.
"Hehehehe..." The poisoned Yabuki Atsushi laughed a few times, then picked up the bottle of red wine that looked quite expensive, and went out with the red wine to visit Komazuka Hiroshi.
As he walked, Yabuki Atsushi muttered, "I told you, old man, to criticize my poor skills on stage every day and suppress me like a fool!"
Following behind Yabuki Atsushi, the little doctor's eyes had completely lost focus, turning into an empty white frame.
Martin was also speechless.
This is so weird, these three people are like in a stage play, each of them is deliberately trying to kill the other.
