Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

Looks like they've been caught. Kurokawa gloated, standing aside watching the show.

Police officers got out of the police car, knocked on the window, and asked to see the driver's license. Then, a bald, bearded man appeared from behind.

After the bald, bearded man spoke with the police, the police drove away in their patrol car.

"What kind of connections are these?" Kurokawa was speechless.

The next second, Kurokawa saw the bald, bearded man reach out and grab his face, then tear it off.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki: "?"

After the bald, bearded man peeled off his mask, he instantly transformed into a beautiful woman.

Something's not right, nine out of ten things are not right. Kurokawa Saki narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the people sitting in the car.

"It's that kid Kudo again. Has the plot progressed this far? So, that beautiful woman is Vermouth?"

So, this trip might just lead me to run into Shuichi Akai. I wonder if he still remembers me; it's been so many years.

Kurokawa pondered for a moment.

Chapter Ten: Are You Superman?

“At least, I’m certain that angels will never give me a genuine smile, not even once,” Vermouth said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Xiao Lan looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why? What does this mean?"

Yukiko explained to Ran, "It means that life is inherently bitter, right, Sharon?"

Sharon is the identity Vermouth is currently using; she is a movie star.

"Yes, my life has been a series of misfortunes."

Next, Vermouth recounts her misfortunes and mentions her daughter Chris, but in reality, they are the same person, just Vermouth in disguise.

As Kurokawa Saki listened to Vermouth's performance, he couldn't help but admire her dedication, leaving everyone speechless.

Xiao Lan also looked at her with sympathy.

“Alright, enough about me. Let’s go to the parking lot and park the car, then we can go backstage and take a look,” Vermouth said.

After they finished talking, Kurokawa Saki went up to greet them.

"Ms. Yukiko, it really is you, as well as Kudo and Mori. What a coincidence."

Kurokawa came to the car window, looked at them with a smile, and said.

When they saw Kurokawasaki Tsuki appear, Ran and Shinichi both showed excited looks.

"Ah, Kurokawa-kun, what are you doing here?"

Ran and Shinichi asked in unison.

"I'm here on a trip, and a friend gave me a ticket to tonight's show, so I came to check it out. Are you here to see the show too?"

"I see. Well then, let's go backstage together for a tour later, Kurokawa-kun. I need to go park now, so I'll have to trouble Sharon to look after him for me." Yukiko was also surprised to run into Kurokawa-saki Tsuki here, and said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Sharon glanced at Kurokawa beside her and nodded in agreement.

Then Yukiko Kudo drove to the parking lot.

Kurokawasaki then greeted Vermouth.

He extended his hand. "Hello, my name is Kurokawasaki Tsuki. It's nice to meet you."

Sharon extended her hand and gently shook his. "Sharon Vineyard, you must have heard of me."

Is Miss Sharon a celebrity?

"I've never heard of this before. It really makes me sad."

"I'm really sorry, I rarely pay attention to these things." Kurokawa Saki waved his hands repeatedly.

"I was just kidding."

Then, the two fell into silence.

Vermouth had no intention of continuing the conversation. As someone who lived in darkness, she had no reason to talk to these unknown and irrelevant people who were of no help to her disguise.

Yes, she categorized Kurokawa as superfluous.

"But it seems that Yukiko's gaze towards him is one of admiration? Does this person have any redeeming qualities?" Vermouth was a little curious, but she quickly kept it to herself.

While Vermouth was observing him, Kurokawa was also observing her.

"I really don't know how old this old woman is. Is she really a seventy or eighty-year-old grandmother inside? Just thinking about it makes me feel a little disgusted." Kurokawa stroked his chin and pondered, "Damn old scoundrel Aoyama," he muttered under his breath.

The silence was broken only when Yukiko and the others arrived.

"Let's go." Yukiko quickly walked up to Sharon.

Afterwards, the five of them went to the dressing room backstage.

The actresses were delighted by the arrival of the big star, Sharon.

After a brief conversation, the actresses noticed the person behind Sharon.

They quickly recognized Yukiko and gathered around to greet her.

Shinichi Kudo explained to Kurokawa and Ran, "My mother was on a TV show here and deduced the culprit that was caught on the show, which is why people call her 'Baroness.' But actually, what she said on the show was just what my father said when he was reading the newspaper in the morning. She just copied it verbatim."

Kurokawa and Ran both looked like they suddenly understood.

While the group was chatting happily, another actress jumped in and mentioned a strange gift.

Shinichi Kudo's interest was piqued: "What strange gift are you talking about?"

Vermouth also came out to explain.

It turns out that the theater troupe received a strange gift three days ago.

Inside was an apple painted with gold, and on it were written strange words in animal blood: "Dedicated to the most beautiful woman."

Yukiko Kudo also had a puzzled expression; she had sensed something was off about the atmosphere in the theater troupe as soon as she entered.

At this moment, actor Keiji also came in to comfort everyone, believing that it was just a prank by some bored person.

Kurokawa Saki chuckled and said: "There aren't that many pranks in the world of Detective Conan; they're all real murder premonitions from the killer."

After comforting everyone, Kiss suggested taking them to the inside of the stage for a look.

Everyone agreed, and they walked over there together.

Kurokawa Saki followed behind Ran and Shinichi.

As Vermouth walked around introducing the clothes to everyone, Xiaolan noticed the clothes hanging on the ceiling.

Xiaolan asked curiously, "What's that on the ceiling?"

Everyone looked up when they heard this.

Vermouth explained, "Those are stage costumes. They're all hung up because they take up too much space."

No sooner had Vermouth finished speaking than a suit of armor descended from the sky.

The crowd quickly dispersed, but one of the actresses, Rose, got her skirt caught on a nail.

Just as Ross was about to be hit by the armor, Ran rushed forward without hesitation and pushed Ross away, but Ran also fell down, and the armor was heading straight for her.

"Ran, watch out!" Kudo shouted, trying to rush out to protect him, but it was too late.

At this critical moment, Kurokawasaki Tsuki did not hesitate. He rushed forward in one stride and then turned and delivered a whip kick.

"boom!"

The armor couldn't withstand the power of Kurokawa's kick at all, and it shattered into pieces and flew to the other side.

Upon seeing this, everyone swallowed hard: This is too exaggerated!

"Are you Superman?" Keith exclaimed, walking toward the armor to examine it with an incredulous look on his face.

Even the experienced Vermouth had a premonition that she probably wouldn't be able to withstand that kick, while Gin might be able to.

Vermouth couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, and at the same time, she made up her mind to investigate this man when she got back.

Without looking at the shattered armor, Kurokawa Tsuki turned around and helped Ran up. "Are you alright?"

He checked Xiaolan over and found that her hand was scraped when she fell.

Kurokawa took out a handkerchief from his pocket and quickly treated Ran's condition. Shinichi Kudo also ran over to check on Ran.

"It's just a scratch, Kurokawa-nii, are you alright?" Ran asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, but that armor is pretty badly damaged." Kurokawa was relieved to see that she only had minor scratches, so he made a small joke while looking at the shattered armor.

However, Kurokawa narrowed his eyes and noticed something amiss. He noticed several barely perceptible threads on the armor.

Rose, whose life was saved by Xiaolan, actually thanked the mirror next to her, saying that the mirror was her guardian angel.

After hearing this, Kurokawa Saki couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, I don't even need you to thank me. It was clearly this child who pushed you away, and you actually thanked that mirror? Did a dog chew the grooves in your brain, or do you not have a brain at all?"

Shinichi and Ran both had beady eyes; it was the first time they'd ever seen Kurokawa swear.

However, if Kurokawa Saki knew what they were thinking, he would probably show them what the beauty of the Chinese language is.

Even Vermouth couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you kidding me? You should thank this girl, not the mirror or any god."

Actress Rose realized her mistake and quickly went to Xiaolan to apologize and express her sincere gratitude.

At this moment, Keith glanced at his watch and reminded them, "It's almost time for us to go on stage." The actresses said goodbye to them and then left with Keith.

After all the actors had left, Vermouth looked at Ran and said, "I told you there are no gods in this world, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Xiao Lan was confused, while Kuro Kawasaki Tsuki just thought she was talking nonsense.

After saying that, Vermouth turned to Yukiko and said, "Yukiko, I'll be leaving now."

"Hey, aren't you going to watch their performance?" Yukiko Kudo asked.

Vermouth had already reached the door and, with her back to them, said, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do. There's probably going to be a huge storm tonight, so I'm leaving now."

Kurokawa stroked his chin: Is there some kind of mission from the organization? No, wait, it seems to be related to Shuichi Akai.

The group watched Vermouth leave.

Chapter Eleven: Death Remains Stable

Kurokawa and the others returned to their seats.

Kurokawasaki Tsukiya switched seats with someone else and sat next to Kudo Shinichi. The seats arranged by the staff were quite nice, and the person he switched with gladly accepted.

The performance started soon, and after watching for a short while, Kurokawa regretted it a little, as he really couldn't appreciate it.

Shinichi Kudo, who was standing nearby, wholeheartedly agreed.

"It's truly spectacular!" Xiao Lan exclaimed with delight.

“That’s right, we don’t see such a grand dance scene where we live,” Yukiko added in praise.

"Ha—" Just then, an untimely yawn rang out; it was Shinichi Kudo.

Ran looked at Shinichi speechlessly.

Yukiko went even further, directly complaining, "It's a pity that there's just a piece of wood in there who doesn't understand its value."

Kurokawasaki Tsukiya was also feeling a bit bored, and it was about time to leave. If he didn't leave soon, the Grim Reaper would start to exert his power, and when the police came, he wouldn't be able to leave as easily as he thought.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki pretended to look at his phone, then said to the three of them with a slightly apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, I have some work to take care of, so it seems I can't go to the show with you guys."

Yukiko waved her hand to indicate her understanding: "What a pity, but work comes first."

Kurokawasaki Tsukiya pretended to be sad, then quietly left.

Once outside the theater, Kurokawa finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling completely relaxed.

He hopped into his Ford Mustang and drove around the neighborhood, hoping to run into the white-haired highway killer played by Vermouth.

It seems like Vermouth is going to play the role of a serial killer and fight Shuichi Akai tonight.

Kurokawa narrowed his eyes, looking around as he drove, searching for any signs of security, which must be the FBI agents arresting the serial killer.

.........

At the same time, Death, unsurprisingly, unleashed its power.
