Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 1814 1813 [Phantom of the Opera]

  After listening to the reason described by the little black face, Conan was silent for a while: "..." Although this is indeed reasonable, it seems that what I want to hear is not such an ordinary inside story... Can you say something useful?

  Jiang Xia seems to have met more people in society, so she responded very calmly to the little black face's unsatisfied expectations: "I see."

  Conan was not quite reconciled when he saw that he didn't ask any more questions.

  After thinking about it, the fake primary school student suddenly discovered an important entry point: "It sounds like that girl has a bright future and doesn't have much pressure to study. Why did she suddenly jump off the building?"

   "Because of an accident."

  A voice came from the side, and answered his question instead of the little black face who didn't know the inside story.

  As soon as Jiang Xia looked up, he saw Matsuzaki Masahiko walking over, and he greeted the fiance casually: "Mr. Matsuzaki? Aren't you rehearsing a drama?"

  Matsuzaki Masahiko scratched his head and smiled wryly: "They thought I was affecting Xiaochun's performance, so they asked that Sangmu High School school girl to play the weirdo for me."

Seeing that an insider finally came, Conan hurriedly brought back the topic just now. He really had a bad feeling, and he just hoped to learn more things as soon as possible: "Big brother, what happened to the 'accident' you mentioned just now?" thing?"

Belmode listened to his protracted milky voice, and his expression was a little complicated: "..." A good high school student detective was forced into such a ghost by the organization's drugs... No wonder Uzo always likes to pull CoolGuy into his Playing with the script, this little villain must have had fun watching it.

  She glanced at Jiang Xia's expression from the corner of her eye, but couldn't see anything. I had no choice but to alert myself in my heart: when we get along with each other, we must not be fooled by any of Wu Zuo's external performances. Only by treating him like those senior actors can we avoid being seduced by him and making fatal mistakes.

  Beside, others know nothing about her vigilant heart.

Matsuzaki Masahiko was asked by Conan, thinking of the past, he was a little bit embarrassed: "Don't high schools have science equipment storage rooms, and there will be some chemicals in them. That girl happened to be preparing for the 'Phantom of the Opera' drama at the time. Shen was distracted frequently, and she accidentally splashed sulfuric acid on her face, which completely disfigured her.

   "A young and beautiful little girl, since then, her whole face has become as terrifying as the "Phantom" in the Phantom of the Opera. Maybe it's because I really can't accept this gap. One day when everyone goes to visit her..."

Masahiko Matsuzaki thought of something bad, raised his hand and pressed his forehead: "Xiaochun and Takawako are her classmates and friends in the same club, so they are all in the team of visiting patients. After the disfigurement accident, their emotions They were all depressed, and I was not at ease, so I followed suit that day.

"Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked downstairs to the hospital, I saw that Yuedao student was not in the ward, but standing on the roof. She was wearing her most beautiful skirt, standing outside the railing, and said loudly in the howling wind 'Phantom' lines.

"'I am a freak of the opera house, Fantme. Look, look at this ugly face! Sad, miserable, burned in hell's fire, and yet I still dream of heaven'—and she said He unwrapped the bandage, revealing the face that was twisted and horrified by acid, and then jumped off the roof."

Matsuzaki Masahiko sighed: "I am a person who never watched dramas, but I remember her lines so deeply. I heard that she was originally going to play the glamorous heroine Christine, but at the last moment of her life, she became Became that ugly 'Phantom' who is full of talent but can only live in the shadows. Destiny is really ruthless."

As he said that, Masahiko Matsuzaki looked up at the stage. On the stage, several students were still rehearsing with laughter or seriousness: "I, an outsider, can't forget the scene at that time. Her classmates must have more shadows. Xiaochun probably It's not that the acting is really bad, it's just that I subconsciously don't want to reproduce this drama... Hey, who suggested this drama just now?"

  After listening to the story, Belmode really wanted to blurt out "It's Uzo", but her rationality made her swallow it.

   Turning her head to look at Jiang Xia, she saw Jiang Xia touching her chin, as if she was also seriously thinking about this issue.

  Finally, Mao Lilan remembered first: "It's Yongmei-senpai."

  Matsuzaki Masahiko was stunned: "I remember she was also a member of that drama club? Why did she..."

Mao Lilan looked at the stage sympathetically: "Maybe because of some things a few days ago, Senior Sister Yongmei's concept has changed, so she plans to start a new life again, and let the new memories offset all the old bad things. memories?"

  Matsuzaki Masahiko showed admiration: "It's really brave."

  "New Doctor" pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and agreed with a rare voice: "Indeed."

  Jiang Xia: "..." I didn't expect Belmode to appreciate this type more?

  He turned his head and glanced at Belmode, and got a meaningful look.

  Jiang Xia: "?"

Hearing their chatting, the little black face looked towards the stage following the topic, and when he saw the scene above, he was startled suddenly: "Huh? Who is that beauty who plays the heroine? Why haven't I seen it before? Could it be that she is from the island?" people."

  Mao Lilan laughed: "It's Yongmei-senpai! She just took off her glasses, changed her hairstyle, and changed her coat by the way."

  The little black face was stunned: "... No wonder she can also join the drama club. The legend that 'beautiful girls take off their glasses' is actually true."

  Matsuzaki Masahiko poked him with his elbow: "Don't say that, it's too rude."

  Little Heilian snorted: "I can't even praise her?"

  Masahiko Matsuzaki had no choice but to concentrate on enjoying the rehearsal with this rough friend.

After watching it for a while, he sighed sadly: "The role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera is indeed the best played by Tsukishima--I saw her before when I visited Takawako and the others. The performance is almost like the spirited heroine has traveled through time and space and possessed her body.

  “I still feel sorry for such a person who died young. I even joked that if she debuted, we would all be her first fans. Who knows… Sigh.”

  …

  Matsuzaki Masahiko, a bystander, noticed the gap. Matsuzaki Haru and Kinda Eomi, who played the leading actresses of the Phantom of the Opera, also gradually realized something and fell silent.

  The day's rehearsal ended in a wordless atmosphere.

  At night, it seemed that even the weather was adapting to their mood. The clear sky disappeared completely, and the island was stormy, followed by thunder and lightning.

   Maya Hashimoto stood by the window, watching this scene like a ghost movie, and shivered silently.
