Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1615 Mingmei's Work

"Not just once, but also the second time... Who are you who saved me?"

  At night, in Conan's ward in the inpatient department of Beihua General Hospital, Xiaolan said these words affectionately in an emotional tone:

"Oh! The nameless knight in black! If you can fulfill my wish, please take off your black mask and face me with your true face!"

So, when the view entered the ward, Xiaolan was seen holding a notebook in her hand with a serious expression on her face, reciting lines in front of Conan's bed. Conan, who was still lying on the bed, seemed to be quite absorbed in what she was saying.

"Oh! If this is what the princess wants, let my ugly and injured face be exposed to the bright moonlight!"

As Xiaolan finished speaking, Sonoko's voice also sounded with a gentle emotion. Opposite Xiaolan, Sonoko took off the paper bag on her head, and then couldn't help showing a naughty smile, and came close to Xiaolan, as if to hug her -

It was obvious that the two were performing according to the contents of the notebook in their hands.

Seeing this, because of Sonoko's participation in this performance, and the intimate behavior between this character and Xiaolan's character, Conan's expression suddenly drooped again, and he seemed a little depressed in his heart——

"So, the character of Sonoko was based on me? This line is so corny!"

As she was thinking this, soon it seemed that because of the performance reaching this point, Sonoko couldn't help laughing, which disrupted the atmosphere of the performance, so the performance had to be stopped.

Then, Sonoko couldn't help but look at Conan who was lying on the bed, and Gao Yuan who was also standing nearby, and said:

"How's it going, kid, Mr. Akechi? Isn't the script for our school festival good?"

Conan was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. This made Sonoko unhappy. She folded her hands in front of her and said to Conan:

"Kid, what's with that expression on your face? Xiaolan and I came here to rehearse so that you can see our performance. If you are discharged from the hospital and can't make it to our school festival, you won't be able to see your sister Xiaolan's gorgeous performance! I came along to prevent this from happening! Don't look so ungrateful!"

  Sonoko said this, looking at Xiaolan, and continued:

"Your sister Xiaolan asked me to do this! But I don't mind if I can rehearse more at the same time!"

Having said this, Sonoko smiled at Xiaolan.

Seeing this, Conan felt helpless.

"I really can't bear to read such corny lines..."

——"How should I put it…"

However, just as Conan was thinking this, Gao Yuan responded and said thoughtfully about the content of the rehearsal:

"I feel like Sonoko... the lines you're delivering as the 'Black Knight' are a little... how should I describe it... too corny? And it also feels a little different from what was in the previous script..."

Suddenly, as soon as these words came out, Sonoko's expression suddenly became nervous. This situation reminded Sonoko of the time when she was discussing the script of the charity drama to be performed in the church with the Junior Detective Team, and she was embarrassed by the child of Gao Yuan's family. At that time, Gao Yuan didn't seem to be very optimistic about her script, so when she heard Gao Yuan suddenly raised his opinion, Sonoko subconsciously thought that Gao Yuan must have felt that there was something wrong with the script she wrote, which made Sonoko, who felt good about the script, feel a little depressed.

However, compared to Sonoko, Conan on the side could not help but nod his head at Gao Yuan's words. He had to say that Gao Yuan's evaluation coincided with his own. Forget about the princess played by Xiaolan, the so-called "Black Knight", the lines just now were too corny, right? Even if he was still Kudo Shinichi, he probably wouldn't act like this.

  So, Gao Yuan continued:

"In the previous scene, when the 'Black Knight' showed up to save the princess, the sense of mystery created by the 'Black Knight's' silence disappeared as soon as the 'Black Knight' spoke just now. It feels like a completely different person! If you ask me...why not just let the 'Black Knight' not say a word, but just take off the mask based on the atmosphere and reveal a handsome face, wouldn't the atmosphere be better this way?"

  So, hearing Gao Yuan's words, Yuan Zi was stunned for a moment, then she held her chin with one hand and pondered, while Xiao Lan beside her exclaimed to Gao Yuan:

"This idea... coincides with Dr. Arata's suggestion! As expected of you, Mr. Akechi. Do you also understand the script?"

"Ah, this..."

——It's just my impression. In the original work, when Kudo Shinichi performed at the final school festival, he acted like this without saying a word, so I just said this casually based on the original work.

Gao Yuan thought so, and in response to Xiaolan's praise, he just waved his hand helplessly and said:

“It just feels like this will be better.”

But because Xiaolan mentioned Dr. Shinde, Conan on the side couldn't help but pout, looking a little depressed.

"However... for practical performance purposes, the 'Black Knight' was played by Sonoko, and I felt that such a silent plot might not be easy to handle, so in the end I decided to keep the lines."

Xiaolan continued.

  Hearing this, Gao Yuan glanced at Yuan Zi and then said:

"I see. If we take off the mask and reveal Sonoko's face, the atmosphere will be completely different. It would be better to have a dialogue first so that the audience can get a good idea..."

"Hey! Whose fault is it that I'm playing the role of a reverse actress? It's because Shinichi is nowhere to be found and Dr. Akai doesn't want to participate. What should I do?"

In response, Sonoko couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, putting the blame on Kudo Shinichi for the whole thing, which made Conan look helpless.

Just like that, tonight's visiting ended quickly. Except for Xiaolan who stayed to accompany Conan at night, Gao Yuan and Sonoko were about to leave.

Just when the two were about to leave, the hospital's cleaning staff came over to clean up. Conan and Xiaolan were already accustomed to the morning and evening cleaning of the inpatient department.

However, Gao Yuan was stunned when he saw this cleaning staff——

Because, she is actually the identity disguised by Miyano Akemi, Mitani Hiruko!
