Chapter 14
The story of the young girl was told to be a joke.
Vermouth's superb acting skills almost frightened Kamiya Minazuki.
Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were shocked by Vermouth's "tragic" experience.
Kudo Yukiko tried to smooth things over and said, "You must be proud of your daughter, right?"
"I no longer regard that child as my daughter. Can you believe it? When I laid flowers on my husband's tombstone, that child actually stood behind me and made up to look like my husband. Don't you think this joke is too much? I haven't seen her for ten years...
Okay, don't talk about me. Let's park the car in the parking lot so that we can go backstage to have a look."
Vermouth ended the topic.
Kudo Shinichi complained: "Why do you have to meet an hour before the show starts? If you come earlier, you won't be stopped by the police for speeding. You can also go backstage in advance and have a good chat with those artists."
"You are so stupid. What you see before makeup is ordinary people, but what if the makeup is already done before the show?" Kudo Yukiko blinked at Kudo Shinichi.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Kudo Yukiko reunited with Vermouth.
Kudo Yukiko looked at Kamiya Minatsuki next to Vermouth and asked curiously: "Sharon, who is this?"
Vermouth explained: "Ah, this child is the son of my good friend. His parents went to work. This is his first time in the United States. He is unfamiliar with the people and the place, so I asked him to take care of him."
"So that's the case. I didn't expect you to agree, Sharon. In the past, you would never agree with your personality. You have changed a lot." Kudo Yukiko teased.
Vermouth waved her hand and said, "No, Minatsuki is already in his twenties, and he is already an adult. I don't need to worry about anything."
Minatsuki Kamiya, Vermouth, Yukiko Kudo, Shinichi Kudo and Ran Maori walked into the ghost theater together.
As they walked forward, Shinichi Kudo's eyes were fixed on Minatsuki Kamiya's right hand.
Ran Maori asked curiously, "Shinichi, what are you looking at?"
Shinichi Kudo pointed at Minatsuki Kamiya's right hand and said, "Look at his right hand, there are calluses in many places."
"Oh, really, but what does this mean?" Ran Maori asked in confusion.
Kudo Shinichi began to show off his detective talent and reasoned to Mao Lilan: "There are calluses at the joint between the thumb and index finger, which may be formed by holding a gun for a long time. There are calluses on the left and right sides of the index finger, which may be formed by long-term practice of pulling the trigger.
It is very difficult for a hand holding a gun to get calluses by shooting. It takes a long time to hone it. I guess he should be a member of a shooting club or something like that."
Faced with Kudo Shinichi's boasting, Mao Lilan was unconvinced and said: "Why are you so sure, Shinichi? Maybe it's because of something else that makes your fingers calloused? For example, the air nail gun used by decorators?"
Kudo Shinichi shook his head and said: "The tools used by decorators are complicated. If it is a decorator, there will not be calluses in only a few specific positions. If you look closely at his right index finger, the other four fingers are very naturally spread out, and only the right index finger is bent, which means that pulling the trigger is already a subconscious action."
At this time, Kamiya Minazuki, who was walking in front of Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan, suddenly flashed and went around behind Kudo Shinichi.
Kamiya Minetsuki put his arm on Kudo Shinichi's shoulder and teased, "It seems that you are very interested in the calluses on my hands."
Kudo Shinichi, especially Mao Lilan, who is a karate master, was very surprised.
Because Kamiya Minetsuki's action of dodging behind them was not seen clearly.
Kudo Shinichi laughed dryly, "I just like to reason."
Vermouth suddenly turned her head and looked at Kamiya Minetsuki with sharp eyes: "Minetsuki, follow me closely, this ghost theater is very big, it would be bad if you get lost."
Kamiya Minetsuki put down the hand on Kudo Shinichi's shoulder and promised casually: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll come right away."
Kamiya Minetsuki walked in front again and followed behind Vermouth.
Looking at Vermouth's back, Kamiya Minetsuki's heart was like a mirror.
'Hehe, is this warning to yourself, worried that you will hurt them both...'
Kudo Shinichi looked at Vermouth strangely
and Kamiya Minazuki.
I always feel that the relationship between the two is not simply that of an elder and a junior.
Mao Lilan complained: "Shinichi, it's all your fault. You can't control your detective desire. If someone hears it, it will be so embarrassing!"
Kudo Shinichi pushed Mao Lilan with both hands: "Okay, don't talk about me, hurry up and follow them, otherwise they will go far away."
The five people came to the dressing room of the actresses backstage.
There were three actresses in the dressing room who were ready to perform on stage.
As the saying goes, three women make a play.
And there are six women here now, which is equivalent to two plays.
The actresses are very happy that Sharon, a big star, came to watch their performance.
And these actresses also recognized Kudo Yukiko's identity.
Because of Kudo Yusaku, Kudo Yukiko appeared on a TV reasoning show here, and with the help of her daily interactions with Kudo Yusaku, she caught the murderer, became famous, and got the nickname "Dark Night Baroness".
Just when the few people were chatting happily, another actress walked out of the room and talked about a strange gift.
The troupe received a strange gift three days ago.
It was a golden apple sprayed with golden paint, and it also had strange words such as "dedicated to the most beautiful woman with animal blood".
Just when the few people were talking about this gift, the male actor who was going to perform on the stage this time also appeared in the room, saying that these were just boring pranks.
The male actor Keith suggested going to the inside of the stage to take a look.
This proposal was agreed by everyone.
Kamiya Minazuki walked silently at the back of the crowd, because with Kudo Shinichi, the god of death, there was no way to know when a murder would occur, so it was better to stay away.
Mao Lilan noticed the costumes hanging on the ceiling.
Just as Vermouth was explaining to Mao Lilan, a set of armor suddenly fell from the sky.
Everyone fled in all directions, and one of the actresses, Rose, was caught in her clothes by a nail on the pillar and could not escape in time.
Seeing that the armor was about to hit her, Mao Lilan rushed over without hesitation and threw Rose to the ground, thus saving her.
Seeing this scene, Kamiya Minazuki's mouth twitched.
It came as soon as he said it, what an efficient god of death.
