Ms. Moriarty wants to save Beika Town today too.

The scene was extremely lively. Parents of students and alumni who have entered the society came in an endless stream. Students in snow-blue school uniforms stood at the school gate to hand out flyers, and behind them there were stalls where people shouted loudly, played musical instruments, and performed stunts. The whole campus was full of excitement and vitality, with music, laughter, and cheers coming one after another, as if a grand carnival was being held.

He hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time, and the moment he stepped into the campus, he felt very unfamiliar.

Conan and Xiao Ai decided to dress up. While Kogoro was being attracted by the enthusiastic high school students, Conan exchanged places with Xiao Ai, who was dressed as him, and got the school uniform that she had prepared in advance and packed in an opaque bag. Because of his understanding of the campus and classmates, he easily avoided people who might recognize him, while Xiaolan and the others were preparing for a drama at the moment.

He planned to find Dr. Shinde, who was to play the Black Knight, just as the performance began, and then take his place on the stage.

Until then, he decided to lurk in the infirmary.

At the same time, the gymnasium drama that Class 2B had won was being warmly welcomed. The team had already formed a long queue, and an exquisite sign was placed at the narrow entrance.

The originally remote alternative stadium now looked like a concert of a superstar.

Sonoko's plan worked exceptionally well, with Ran, who was popular among the boys, and Dr. Aoi, who was extremely popular among the girls. The news spread at an exaggerated speed long before the rehearsal. This love drama between a handsome man and a beautiful woman touched the hearts of high school boys and girls who were longing for love, especially the guests in groups of boyfriends and girlfriends, who were spread out in pairs in every seating area.

Sonoko pulled open the stage curtain to show Xiaolan the grand spectacle.

Seats are full.

There was a look of complacency on Sonoko's face, while Xiaolan's emotions were more complicated, including surprise, satisfaction and shyness.

"Are you kidding me? Why are there so many spectators..."

"It's our turn now. Everyone has high expectations for this play!" Yuanzi said as if revealing the answer to a mystery, "This is because we advertised this love play as being more romantic than the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet!"

Just when Sonoko was immersed in herself, someone suddenly called Xiaolan's name from behind.

Xiaolan turned around and saw who was coming and was very surprised, "It's you, He Ye!"

"I decided to come after all," Kazuha said with a smile, "Although Heiji said that my coming would cause you trouble, I still came."

"Well, Hattori didn't come today."

Yuanzi suddenly said: "I admire him so much."

The jealousy was aroused.

Xiaolan, who had experienced it before, quickly raised her palm to her chest and said, "She was joking. In fact, Sonoko likes another boy who likes to wear black clothes, right?"

"It's really embarrassing to like wearing black clothes." Sonoko complained to herself.

He Ye looked around.

"By the way, where is Kudo Shinichi?" She looked at Xiaolan, "He should be here."

Xiaolan shook her left arm in denial, "I didn't specifically invite him."

This made the garden next door unhappy. "Really? You invited all your friends and neighbors who you haven't seen for 800 years to come, but why didn't you invite your husband?"

Some of them thought that Xiaolan should invite Kudo Shinichi, while others felt that her best friend's status was threatened.

Humph, you are just a friend I haven’t seen for eight hundred years.

Her position in Xiaolan's heart is unshakable. It was she who gave Kudo Shinichi his share. Otherwise, how could these two people have made such smooth progress!

Having said that, where on earth did that cocky detective go?

"So you invited more than just me, Sister Xiaolan."

Ai, who was trying to deceive the world and replace one thing with another, followed Kogoro into the backstage and spoke using a voice changer.

Xiaolan was immediately overjoyed. She clasped her hands together and looked down at Xiaoai. At this time, Kogoro started complaining that his cold had not yet healed and kept pressing her head.

She didn't dare to move and her wig was almost pulled off by him.

She originally wanted to ask Winnet for help. Although it was a little too late when she went to disturb her, she thought that it would not take much time with her magic skills. However, she was just caught by her sister and sat for a while. Winnet did not say why she went out, but she did not come back. She thought of her previous "organizational action" and thought that she was on a mission, so the matter was left unresolved. Fortunately, there was no physical difference between her and Conan, and she had the double protection of masks and glasses.

It is possible to disguise as an adult, but no one would have thought that a child could also be fake.

Blind spot of thinking.

Just like her current situation, even if she didn't deliberately pretend to be Edogawa, the girl in front of her didn't notice the problem.

Kogoro complained but also said something nice: "I originally wanted him to sleep well at home, but he said he had promised you that he would definitely come, and he didn't listen to me at all."

Xiaolan was concerned about her, "How are you, is your cold better?"

"I'm all right."

"If you can't hold on, don't force it."

At this time, Shinde, who was holding the script in the back, suddenly called Xiaolan and asked her to come over to discuss the lines at the beginning of the play. Xiaoai was also liberated, and her eyes were focused on "Shinde" together with Heye and others. Because he had contact with Winnet, she was wary of him. The so-called doctor-patient relationship and work relationship could be an excuse to fool people. As a member of the organization, Winnet had long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"This guy is so handsome!" He Ye said, "Is he going to play opposite Xiaolan?"

"Yeah, they look good together, don't they?"

When talking about this, Sonoko's slight hostility towards Kazuha disappeared, just like two enthusiasts talking about CP.

Seeing this, Xiao Ai thought she couldn't play the jealous Edogawa, so she turned around and said she was going to the audience first, creating a jealous atmosphere. Kogoro had no idea about the entanglement between the two people, and just encouraged Xiaolan to perform well. With the two people's encouragement, Kazuha also left. The family and friends temporarily left.

Sonoko looked at her watch and said, "Oh no, there are only fifteen minutes left."

Xiaolan didn't hear anything at all and just stared blankly in the direction Conan left.

Sonoko grabbed Xiaolan's shoulders and said, "Xiaolan, you should also change your costume and get ready."

"Yeah." She replied in a depressed mood.

Fifteen minutes later, the lights in the stadium were turned off and the scene became pitch black.

The loudspeakers on both sides of the stage announced:

"Now we are performing "Lukewarm Love" brought to you by Class 2B. Please stay tuned."

……

479 True and False Black Knight 2

The curtain opens.

In the castle window setting based on "Romeo and Juliet", Xiaolan, wearing a puff-sleeved dress and a tulle headdress, clasped her hands tightly and prayed to Zeus, the god of Greek mythology.

It would be more accurate to say it was a complaint rather than a prayer.

She plays a princess who becomes a political victim and is forced to marry someone she doesn't love.

(Miss Winnett, who is not here, condemns this severely).

Kogoro was so excited when he saw his daughter's performance that he shouted loudly in the audience, attracting everyone's attention. When he found that people around him were looking at him strangely, he quickly explained that it was his daughter on the stage. Kazuha, who was standing next to him, was so embarrassed by him that she wanted to change seats.

Then, the play entered the second act.

Xiaolan drove out on a prop carriage, followed by several guards wearing swordsman's clothes, long boots, and a sword on their waist. On the other side, several bandits wearing helmets and robes and holding long swords ran out from the other side of the curtain, and the prelude to a hand-to-hand fight had been opened. As the director behind the scenes, Sonoko hid behind the curtain holding the script. When she saw that the fight was about to start, she went to summon Dr. Shinde who was about to appear.

"Doctor, the performance is now at its climax, please go up and wait."

Yuanzi turned around and said.

But when she saw the leading actor in black armor and black cape, she was stunned. The face on her neck was clearly the very familiar Kudo Shinichi. He passed by her side, with a pale face, and looked at the situation on the stage.

"Where have you been, Xiaolan has been missing you so much that she's crying all day long!" She tried to lower her voice as much as possible, but couldn't hide her excitement.

Rather than blaming Kudo Shinichi for his sudden appearance, Sonoko was more concerned about how Xiaolan would look when she was frightened.

The actor who was thought to be the leading man suddenly became the leading man in his own life.

This is simply the best script in her - Suzuki Sonoko - life!

"But where's Dr. Shinde?"

"I asked him to let me play this role." The enlarged Conan said, "I have read the script."

Conan also realized that it was extremely rude and ridiculous to suddenly appear and snatch the role, but the man smiled and gave the role to him, and even cheered for them. This made him have to admit that this imaginary rival did have a good personality and was generous. He even thought that doing this excessive thing was a good thing to avoid further contact between him and Xiaolan.

Although he said this, Yuanzi was not relieved.

In a ray of light from the stage, she saw Kudo Shinichi's face was ashen, his lips were pale, and his body was unstable; she wanted to ask him if he was feeling unwell, but he took a step forward.

on the stage.

"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the carriage of Princess Hart of the Principality of Puri?" said the leading man dressed as a knight.

Compared to his panicked look, the high school students who played the villains performed very vividly. Each of them tilted their mouths to reveal a smile, stood in an unruly posture, and laughed loudly, as if they were about to stick out their tongues and leave a crystal spit mark on the broadsword made of cardboard.

"Of course we know."

"We were ordered to kill the princess so that we could break up the marriage."

"It is better for our empire that your duchies and kingdoms continue to quarrel as before."

After reciting a few lines like a classic villain, the leading imperial soldier chopped down the knight with a single blow; another fat soldier followed, opened the carriage door, and pulled Xiaolan out. This made Toyama and Ye in the audience extremely angry, and they stood up and shouted, "Xiaolan! Hurry up and use your karate to kill all these bastards."

Xiao Ai, who was sitting next to her, looked at her as if she were a pitiful woman.

You're not much better than the confused detective, are you?

Fortunately, she is Edogawa now, so she doesn't have to feel awkward even if she knows these two people.

Then again, she looked around but didn't see Winnet.

Could it be that you have a mission to carry out today and therefore have no time to watch the show?

It was strange, she thought. In the way she pretended to live, she would try her best to fulfill her promises.

Xiao Ai turned her attention back to the stage.

At this point, it’s time for the protagonist to appear, right?

Just as she thought, the spotlight shone, and the light of the oil painting painted in yellow, green and blue tones emerged, and a black feather fell lightly from the sky.

"It's a crow feather!"

"Could it be——"

While the villain was surprised, Conan, who played the black knight, had already fallen from the sky. Director Sonoko looked at her masterpiece and was very satisfied. Speaking of which, this was inspired by the bandaged monster. She used props and light and shadow effects to create the situation of falling from the sky, and played the sound of sword flashing into the speaker at the moment of landing.

From the perspective of the audience, it seemed that the Black Knight killed an enemy the moment he landed.

"It's the Black Knight!" the villain shouted in unison.

Also shouting at the same time were Yuanshan Heye.

Xiao Ai was not moved at all by the mere words "so cool". She watched the farce on the stage with boredom, thinking that it was finally time for the dust to settle.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

No way……

A black rope flashed on the stage, and a character wearing the same clothes as the Black Knight landed gracefully, with a posture almost the same as the Black Knight.

"What's going on? Why are there two black knights?"

This time, the dedicated and lovely villains were not rehearsing, but expressed genuine doubts. Despite this, they still showed the qualities that an actor should have: calm and free in the face of unexpected situations.

"Could it be that one of them is fake?"

"Then... then this new guy must be a fake! Let's go ahead. As long as we kill him, we can find a way to survive."

"That's right! Kill him!"

Yuanzi rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Then she went from being confused to ecstatic and then calm, secretly giving a thumbs up to these supporting roles - they were born supporting roles. Although the plot developed in an unpredictable and strange direction, as a director, she decided to believe in the basic qualities of the actors. The bond they formed during rehearsal will definitely burst into the most beautiful brilliance at this moment.

She felt that she was following the call of the God of Scripts. Now was the time to be bold. She secretly gave the villains on the stage a thumbs-up, and seeing this signal, they felt more at ease.

Sure enough, we performed without any problems!

This is a temporary addition, a test for us!

The soul of the supporting character is burning fiercely!

Who wants to be a boring, stereotyped character?

The three of them exchanged glances.

The whole vibe of the person was different, as if he had gone from being a funny character to a truly vicious gangster.

……

480 True and False Black Knight 3

The first villain to appear is the first villain. He changed his loose posture of holding the sword with one hand, like a samurai who was sent to death in Miyamoto Musashi's works, and held the sword with both hands - he concentrated his strength on one point, lowered his body, and shook his waist. He gathered all his strength and charged with the momentum of hearing a gunshot in a sprint race. Then he rushed towards this fake black knight with a resolute "die".

But how could he embarrass the leading actor? This cry was a warning. Even if the opponent was slow, he was sure that he would miss. The horizontal stage gave him the opportunity to perform a sleight of hand, but this was unnecessary. He heard a swift sound of breaking through the air, and felt his chest and abdomen stagnate, and the whole person flew out sideways. The black knight, who was standing still, just waved a subtle cold light, and his movements were simple and neat, without any drag.
