Chapter 729 Mao Lilan's Dream ([-])

Qin Zhibo once searched for the photo of this popular Hollywood star on the Internet, and the real person was exactly the same as the photo.

No wonder Mao Lilan said that he had met Sharon Wynyard, and it turned out to be here.
Now, Qin Zhibo can also look at the appearance of Sharon in Mao Lilan's dream.

Short blond short hair, uniquely shaped round-frame glasses, and a trace of aging wrinkles beside the dark red lips.

For Sharon Wynyard, "mature lady, still charming" is not an exaggeration to describe her.

It can be seen that Sharon didn't pay too much attention to the wrinkles on her face, and she didn't do any special beauty care, face lift or anything like that.

The years have left obvious marks on this woman, but at the same time, it also exudes a mature and capable temperament that has been tested.

Beauty is different from temperament. Having beauty does not necessarily mean having temperament, especially the beauty that is considered by the world - Internet celebrity face, which is completely contrary to the word temperament.

Temperament is a very metaphysical thing, and it often takes time to settle and some experience.

For example, Yukiko is younger than Sharon, and she is much more cute in terms of beauty, but Yukiko is not as temperamental as Sharon.

At first glance, Sharon is the woman of a top boss, but Yukiko looks like a woman of an ordinary boss in comparison.

That's why ordinary nouveau riche look for young women, wishing to be decades younger than themselves to be comfortable.

And the real top bosses and wealthy families will find Sharon as a lifelong partner.

Sharon exudes a special temperament all over her body. If she attends a world-class grand banquet, she will definitely add luster to the men around her.

Qin Zhibo guessed that such an appearance would be very sought after by the top tycoons in the United States, and the beauty and temperament were just right.

However, based on Qin Zhibo's understanding of Sharon, or Belmode, these may be just disguises.

Sharon Wynyard, Chris Wynyard, mother and daughter are actually one person.

As for which one is the real face, Qin Zhibo's guess is more inclined to be Sharon.

After all, Sharon is older, which is more in line with her 49-year-old character card.

But with Sharon's accomplishments in disguise, it is also possible that both faces are fake.

Shock!American Hollywood female star and best friend tear their skins apart in the street!

Following Sharon's appearance, the crowd queuing up to buy tickets at the entrance of the theater immediately gathered and stood not far away to watch.

Yukiko chatted with Sharon as if no one was watching, and asked how Sharon knew she was "in trouble".

Sharon explained that the New York policeman just now was her fan, and when the two were chatting just now, she heard the silver Jaguar speeding notice on the radio.

Sharon guessed that it was Yukiko's driving style, so she bought the same style of coat worn by NYPD Commissioner Radish at a nearby store, and came out to save the scene.

Yukiko readily accepted Sharon's favor, and said "Thank you, I really love you to death".

On the other hand, Kudo Shinichi, who was in the co-pilot seat beside him, had his world view collapsed for the first time, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"But why can this big American star pretend to be someone else at will!"

"Didn't I tell you before?" You Xizi pinched Xiaoman's waist and explained: "When I just entered the acting industry, I once hired a disguiser to play the role of a female spy." Japanese experts learn from teachers."

"At that time, Sharon also went to that place to learn from a teacher for the role she wanted to play, so we became good friends."

"But I'm not as good as her. It's easy for her to pretend to be anyone."

After listening to the explanation, Kudo Shinichi also relaxed, and said with a smile: "I can pat my chest to assure you, my mother is best at cross-dressing, not pretending~"

Yukiko: ╬￣dish￣
Facing her son's teasing, Yukiko looked sullen, and reached out to pinch Kudo Shinichi's nose.

"How dare you say that about your mother?"

Mao Lilan looked at the mother and son with a smile.

The atmosphere in the car was harmonious, as if no one was thinking about Sharon's change of face.

However, Qin Zhibo, who is familiar with the production process of human skin masks, knows that this is not a matter of chance.

Even Kuroba Kaito couldn't easily rub out a human skin mask.

If you want to make a specific human skin mask, you need to carve out the person's face with a plaster statue in advance, so that you can make a human skin mask that cannot be seen through.

In other words, Sharon had made Radish's mask in advance and kept it on her body for preparation.

There is also the same style of Ladishu's coat. It sounds like Ladishu is the same as Megumi, a person who wears the same style of clothes all year round.

If this kind of jacket has not been specially researched on the brand and style, it is impossible to just go shopping in the store and buy the same style.

On the whole, Sharon wanted to disguise herself as Radish, which was one of the pre-booked plans, and it had nothing to do with whether she would help Yukiko or not.

However, at this time, Kudo Shinichi had just solved the first case in his life, and he was not sensitive to the hidden dangers of the possible cases around him, nor did he care about the disharmony revealed in it.

Mao Lilan in the car was still excited to see Sharon.

"It's amazing to meet such a famous person, and it's on the streets of New York"

"I really have to thank God!"

Mao Lilan sighed, and the sky started to rain lightly.

Sharon had obviously read the weather forecast. She pulled out a folding umbrella from the sleeve of her coat and held it above her head.

Her dark lips parted slightly, and she said lightly.

"Is there really a god in this world who will show kindness to humans?"

"If it really exists, then those of us who live desperately will not have misfortunes."

"At least, I can be sure that there is no angel who smiles heartily at me."

"Not once"

After the words fell, an elusive smile appeared on the corner of Sharon's mouth.

Yukiko didn't have any special reaction to Sharon's words, maybe she was used to Sharon lamenting the injustice of her fate.

Kudo Shinichi has half-moon eyes, and the expression on his face is very helpless.

Based on Qin Zhibo's understanding of him, he must be thinking, this female celebrity earns so much money that she can't spend it all, and she is also famous, what's so unfortunate about it?
If you are unfortunate, not many people in the world will be happy!
Mao Lilan was more serious and asked what this passage meant.

"It means that life itself is bitter." You Xizi rushed to answer, "Isn't that right, Sharon?"

"Yes, my life is a series of misfortunes."

Holding an umbrella, Sharon said calmly: "When I risked my life to appear on the big screen, my parents died in the fire."

"My husband died the day after I won the Oscar"

"When my daughter debuted, she took the opportunity to publicize it."

Sharon introduced that her daughter ate her father's blood steamed buns in order to become famous quickly, so she severed the mother-daughter relationship with her, and they have not communicated with each other since old age.

The melon-eating trio in the car looked fascinated.

But Qin Zhibo knows that this is actually a story made up to make the two identities of Sharon and Chris never appear at the same time.

As for the death of the parents in the fire and the death of the husband, they should all be deliberate stories.

The United States is strong and miserable, and both are indispensable.

After exchanging pleasantries at the entrance of the theater for a while, everyone finally parked their cars in the parking lot and followed Sharon to visit the backstage of the performance.

Since Qin Zhibo is in Mao Lilan's dream, he can only follow Mao Lilan's perspective and cannot move freely.

Sharon pushed open the door of the backstage dressing room, and the three female stage actors had already changed their costumes and were arranging the makeup on their faces.

Dark-skinned actor: "It's Sharon! You really came to our show!"

Actor with an Asian face: "Unexpectedly, what our team leader said will come true one day!"

Actor with blond waves: "It's amazing, it's like a dream!"

The three actresses have different images. When they saw Sharon, they all leaned over like little fans.

Sharon briefly talked with the three of them, and then introduced Yukiko who was behind her.

Yukiko also has some fame in the United States, not because she is a Japanese actress, but because of Yusaku Kudo.

The novel character in Yusaku Kudo's novel, the Baron of the Night, is world-famous. Because this character has not yet disclosed his identity, book fans all over the world regard Yusaku Kudo himself as the Baron of the Night.

In this way, Yukiko is naturally the "Baroness of the Dark Night".

In addition, Yukiko is a serious social cow, who has no interest in filming but does not stop in variety shows, and often replaces Yusaku Kudo to "show" reasoning ability on TV.

Of course, Yukiko's reasoning is all stolen from her husband, but if there is a little originality, it is not at all original.

Yukiko whispered to the actresses about Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan behind her, but because this was Mao Lilan's dream, Mao Lilan couldn't hear it, and Qin Zhibo couldn't hear it either.

Just as these people were eagerly communicating, a discordant voice came from the side.

"It's such a pity. I thought His Excellency the Baron had come in person to unlock that strange gift."

"I didn't expect that it was just the baroness who came backstage with her children to watch the fun. It's really disappointing."

The woman has long straight golden hair, long straight hair with curved eyebrows, and exquisite makeup on her face, as if she is also one of the actors who will be on stage.

However, this blonde straight-haired girl is different from other actors, and she doesn't move forward when facing celebrities like Sharon, so Mao Lilan didn't notice her, and Qin Zhibo didn't see her either.

"What strange gift are you talking about?" Kudo Shinichi asked with a serious face.

On the plane to New York, he experienced the thrill of reasoning cases for the first time, and if he had the chance this time, he would certainly enjoy it.

Sharon next to him explained: "Just three days before the performance of this troupe, I received a gift."

"It was an apple sprayed with gold spray paint, and on the golden apple was written 'To the Great King' in the blood of some kind of animal, such a strange word."

"The great king?" Kudo Shinichi was puzzled.

Sharon explained again, "This may have something to do with the troupe's famous play "The King in Yellow."

"This play was adapted from a play written by a French playwright in 1895. The original work was banned by the French government immediately after it was published."

"The Broadway adaptation of 'The King in Yellow' was a big hit, especially 'The King in Yellow'."

At this moment, a tall and handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in from the door.

"Okay, ladies, please don't worry, it must be some boring prank."

"But, Keith"

The man, wearing a gorgeous prince-style uniform, started talking to several actresses.

You Xizi asked curiously, "Who is he?"

Sharon crossed her arms, "He is the lead actor of this troupe, Keith Flockhard. But someone asked him to act in a movie before, so today should be his last performance."

From the perspective of a non-existent person, Qin Zhibo silently observed the people in the dressing room, calculated with his fingers, and felt that someone would die next.

Four women and one man, if you want to play "The King in Yellow", the number of actresses is obviously one more.

Is this a hint that an actress is going to die?

If this is the case, Qin Zhibo thinks that the out-of-group Jin Changzhi is the most likely.

Next, there are 40 minutes until the show starts.

Several leading actors of four men and one woman took Sharon, Yukiko and others to visit backstage.

You Xizi was a little worried, worried about delaying these people's performances on stage.

However Sharon said there was nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry, there will be a narration in the first 20 minutes to lead the audience to create a stage atmosphere, introduce the background of the Iti Kingdom, and recite some poems about Carcosa."

A few people were walking, and Mao Lilan suddenly looked up at the ceiling. There were gorgeous costumes hanging in the shadows, which looked a little scary.

"What's that on the ceiling?"

Seeing this scene, Mao Lilan didn't feel frightened, and asked in a very ordinary tone.

"Ah, the costumes for that performance were hung on it because they took up too much space."

As soon as Sharon's voice fell, one of the iron armor costumes on the ceiling suddenly fell and went straight to the crowd.

Everyone responded well, and immediately dispersed, except for the wavy-haired actress who was caught by the sign on the wall and couldn't get out.

Just when the armor was about to fall off, Mao Lilan rushed over and threw the man down.

The armor just fell and smashed to the floor.

The blonde wavy-haired girl escaped unharmed and was greatly frightened, shouting that someone was going to kill her.

The actor named "Keith" went to check and found that the rope tied to the armor was broken. He smiled and said, "You think too much, and it only broke because the rope is too old."

Qin Zhibo walked over, glanced at the rope, and knew that things were not that simple.

The section of the rope is very clean, obviously it was artificially cut.

Kudo Shinichi, who had the same idea, was standing aside with a dignified expression.

The other leading actresses lamented that it was the mascot of the troupe—a golden mirror saved the wavy-haired actress, but Sharon stopped her.

"Are you making a mistake, what you want to thank is not a mirror, but this girl?"

After being told by Sharon, the rescued wavy-haired actor remembered to thank Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan smiled and said in broken English that it was okay, but her arm was actually scratched by the floor when she fell down just now.

Sharon handed Mao Lilan her light pink handkerchief, and said that if the angel really existed, she would not be hurt.

Time passed quickly, and several people were going to prepare to go on stage.

But just when the show was about to officially start, Sharon waved her hand, indicating that she would not watch the show anymore.

"That "The King in Yellow" is really interesting"

"But something suddenly occurred to me. I'm afraid there will be an unprecedented storm tonight."

"I have something to go first"

After speaking, Sharon "go home to collect the clothes".

　Thanks for the reward from the Flame Envoy!
