Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 864 Unfinished Script, Disappeared Script Writer
Speaking of the hottest person in Japan during this period, it is actually not a big star, but a person who has passed away for a long time.

Yes, that's right, it's Ryoma Sakamoto.

Since the beginning of the Ryoma craze, the heat has not dropped much. Compared with the Ryoma Exhibition and the like, various historical sites about Ryoma are of course more popular, and Nagasaki is one of them.

The leading sightseeing spot in Nagasaki is Gulliver's Garden, the residence of Thomas Blake Gulliver, a British businessman who supported Ryoma Sakamoto and many others at the end of the Edo period.

The so-called historical sites are just the result of being beautified by later generations. Even the urinals used by celebrities can be sought after. How can it be seen, so Gao Cheng has always been not very interested in these things, and it is impossible to worship history like Sakamoto Ryoma character, no matter how great the opponent is in history.

He is the type of person who lives in the moment, but this does not prevent him from looking at strange things and understanding Ryoma's story.

After visiting Nagasaki Confucius Temple and other places, Gao Cheng followed his uncle and his party into Gulliver Garden. The whole park is not small, and it feels like time and space to be in it, surrounded by people wearing aristocratic dresses or kimonos tourists.

Gao Cheng kept his face sullen, but his mood improved a lot.

The naive, lively and adventurous Ayumi children, although they are very good at getting into trouble, are rare in this world. Even Xiao Ai, who has always been cold and withdrawn, is affected, and her smiles are getting more and more cheerful.

The presence of these guys can relieve the depression and heaviness of the murder case. Gao Cheng also admitted that he has not experienced any psychological problems after going through so many cases. Apart from Xiao Ai, these children are also credited.

However, it would be nice to have less trouble...

At this time, there is only one crew from Tokyo in the Gulliver Park who is filming the end of the Bakumatsu. It is a two-hour reasoning TV series with Nagasaki at the end of the Bakumatsu as the background. The story of Ryoma solving the case in order to clear himself of suspicion.

That's right, Ryoma Sakamoto became a detective this time, and Ryoma Sakamoto played the role of the Kyonosuke he met at the Hakone Onsen Hotel.

"Stop joking! How can you do this?!"

During the filming interval, Kyonosuke suddenly received a call, his face changed drastically, and his voice couldn't stop getting louder. Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he awkwardly and apologetically said to Gao Cheng with the uncle and his party: "No Excuse me, Detective Kido, let me make a call first."

He said in a low voice and walked away: "So I said, this is not good, we must find a way to cover it up..."

"What happened to him?" Ayumi asked curiously.

"It seems to be in some trouble." Gaocheng and Kyonosuke are not very familiar with each other, and of course they don't care about other people's affairs casually.

"Oh, what's so strange about this," Uncle Maori snorted next to him, "Maybe it's only a relationship problem that can make a big star look like this, I think it might be something like an affair being discovered... "

"Liar!" Ayumi argued, "Mr. Kyonosuke is obviously single!"

"Okay," Gao Cheng pulled Ayumi and said, "It seems that it will take some time, let's go around casually first..."

"Great! This must be the famous detective Kido Takasei, right?" Crew producer Yasuzo Oki greeted him warmly, "Ever since I heard that Detective Kido would come, I have been looking forward to it. Make a cameo!"

"Huh? Cameo?"

"No, it's not good, Mr. Oki!" An employee hurried over and said, "Mr. Xun is gone!"

"What?" Damu was shocked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I can't find him anywhere. Could it be that he ran into a bottleneck and hid again?"

"This is troublesome," the director walked over and said with a headache, "Let's not talk about the ending, we don't even know who the prisoner is now, if there is no follow-up script..."

Gao Cheng was stunned when he heard this: "Sorry, haven't you finished the script of this play yet?"

"No, there is no way, the time is very tight, but..."

Damu wiped his sweat, and suddenly looked at Gao Chengdao: "By the way, Detective Kido, can I ask you to help find the criminal in this play? We can't just wait for that guy Tatsumi now!"

"Is this okay?" Gao Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He's not a screenwriter...

"No problem, we will find a way for other plots," Damu pleaded with his hands clasped together, "Please, if this drama can't be completed, my company will go bankrupt by then..."

"That's right..."

"Oh, Kido! What is there to hesitate about?"

Mori Kogoro patted Gao Cheng on the shoulder, stepped forward and agreed to Da Mu: "Of course this kind of thing is no problem, and I, the famous detective Mori Kogoro, will also help!"

"Ah, so you are the sleeping Kogoro!" Da Mu happily clasped the uncle's right hand tightly and said, "Thank you so much! Finding the culprit should be no problem."

"Yeah, haha, there is no mystery that my sleeping Kogoro can't solve!"

"Hello..."

Gao Cheng frowned.

Does this uncle know the situation?
"I'm talking about you, Kido," the uncle shook his head privately to Gao Cheng after getting the script, "It's because you are always hesitant that you don't have a job. A man should be more decisive."

Gao Cheng ignored this guy.

How can a guy who spends most of his time with nothing to do have the right to say that about him?
"What?!" The uncle flipped through the script in the corner of the studio, his face gradually turned pale, and his expression exaggerated, "I don't know the prisoner, the script is not even half finished!"

"If it's that easy to find the criminal, those people won't have a headache..."

Gao Cheng also got a script.

The screenwriter in charge of this mystery drama is a well-known scriptwriter named Tatsumi Gengsaku, who has won various screenwriting awards. Now this drama is an original script by Tatsumi Gengsaku, so only the scriptwriter himself knows the prisoner in the play.

If you compare a reasoning drama to a game, the script writer is the creator of the rules of the game. There is a kind of reasoning drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time, and a lot of useful and useless information is given first. Whenever the audience guesses who the prisoner is, Screenwriters will rewrite the subsequent scripts, and the useless details in the previous ones will become foreshadowing.

The audience will never be able to compete with the screenwriter, even if he is a detective.

It's like the plot of this drama has just begun, who knows what clues the screenwriter will use later.

There is a serious lack of information...

In the evening, the scriptwriter Xun Geng worked in the hotel room, and the uncle searched the whole room, not even letting go of the waste paper in the trash can.

"Sure enough, it's still too reluctant," the uncle sighed. "The script is not even half finished. If you want to find the criminal from it, no matter how good you are..."

"So who on earth agreed so readily?" Xiaolan complained, and asked Gao Cheng who was looking at the closet from the other side, "Senior, what should we do now?"

"I don't know yet, but," Gao Cheng opened the closet completely, and opened the clothes hanging inside, "There are a lot of suspicious newspaper clippings posted in this closet, all of which are reports about art theft groups... "

"That's it!" Seeing the newspaper clipping, the uncle immediately cheered up, "Maybe he used real events as inspiration!"

"But in the current script, there is no thieves group at all..."

"Maybe it will appear later!"

"This doesn't explain the problem at all," Gao Cheng said coldly, "the current script doesn't contain anything related to the robbery group, and we don't know who the culprit is."

Yuan Tai and the others helped to find it for a long time, but now they stood beside him eagerly.

"When will we find it like this? I'm so hungry..."

"Ayumi is also very hungry, can I have dinner?"

"Speaking of dinner," the uncle rubbed his stomach sullenly, "I was going to eat Nagasaki's famous assorted noodle soup today. Really, I'm even more hungry after talking about it. If you look for it, go eat."

"Ok?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Gao Cheng suddenly noticed someone passing by outside, walked to the door, and accidentally discovered that the heroine Nanao Futaba was about to leave in a panic.

"What's the matter, Nanao-san?"

"Ah," Nanao Futaba was taken aback, seeing that it was Gao Cheng, he hesitated, "Well, actually, there is something I want to ask Detective Kido..."

……

hotel restaurant.

"I'm exhausted, but I still can't find any other clues." Mori Kogoro leaned tiredly on the chair, as if he had given up the treatment. "So I said, the thieves must be the criminals, so let's tell Mr. Oki and them."

"This is too perfunctory..."

"Boom!"

"Strange," Mori Kogoro gave the talkative Conan a hammer, looking around, "Where did that guy Kido go?"

"I don't know, I was there just now."

"I saw it," Ayumi said energetically, "Brother Kido seems to have left with sister Nanao! Right, Xiao Ai?"

"Is that beautiful woman who plays the doctor?" The uncle glared, "Damn it, when it's so difficult, that Kido boy still has time to strike up a conversation! How did he hit it up?!"

Gao Cheng walked towards the dining table with a dark face: "Who said I was here to strike up a conversation? She just asked for my help with something, and it happened to be related to the screenwriter Mr. Xun Gengzuo."

"is it?"

"Otherwise what else?"

Gao Cheng ordered a glass of juice and sat down, "I don't think we need to worry about the script, it should be resolved soon."

"What do you mean?" Mori Kogoro lowered his face.

This kid has a problem...

"Since only Mr. Tatsumi, the screenwriter, knows about the prisoner, wouldn't it be good to find him?"

Gao Cheng thought of what Nanao Futaba had revealed to him just now.

It is said that Xun Gengsuo had an accident a few days ago. He was pushed from behind and was almost hit by a car. There are two possible reasons why he disappeared now. One is that he was killed, and the other is that he felt that he was in danger and hid. .

According to the current situation, the latter possibility is more likely, because Nanao Futaba got in touch at night, but the other party refused to say anything, but just told Nanao Futaba that she was fine.

Of course, Tatsumi Gengsaku still refused to come back, as if he was afraid of someone in the crew.

Gao Cheng glanced quietly over Conan, the uncle, and Ayumi, who was having a good meal.

Now I am afraid that it is not just a case in the script, but a case related to reality. If his guess is correct, the news clippings reported by the theft group that Tatsumi Gengsaku secretly pasted in the closet is the key.

After all, if it's just for collecting materials, there's no need to hide it in that kind of place.

"I'm sorry, Detective Kido," the lead actor, Kyonosuke, still looked a little out of shape. After entering the restaurant, he sat down next to him and said, "I was going to take you to Nagasaki when I was going to rest..."

"Where, we are the ones who caused you trouble," Gao Cheng collected his thoughts and asked, "Did something happen to you, if there is anything that can help..."

"No, no need!" Kyonosuke hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's just a small matter, but you are Kido detectives, how is the investigation going? Did you find any clues?"

"Not yet, but," Gao Cheng paused, Chao Kyonosuke asked, "Is there anything special about your crew? Something strange or something..."

"This," Kyosuke hesitated, "I'm actually not too sure about it. If I want to say something special, it's probably that. Mr. Oki's production company seems to be very difficult, so many actors in the crew are watching this time." Mr. Oki and Mr. Kanbara are friends, and specially lowered the pay for the role...

"They seem to have worked together a long time ago. At that time, no one became popular, and they were old friends, including Mr. Xun."

"So that's what happened," the uncle rubbed his chin and wondered, "If that's the case, why did Mr. Xun play and disappear at this time? He didn't even finish the script..."

……

The next morning, the producer Oki suddenly knocked on the door of the uncle's room with the director, saying that he had received an email from Tatsumi.

"What? Did Mr. Xun send the follow-up script by email?" The uncle was surprised, "Is the name of the prisoner written in it? Is it related to the theft group?"

"I don't know yet," Oki said helplessly, "Because the script is still only half written, and, although the shooting schedule is not wrong, there are new problems..."

"What do you mean?" The uncle was stunned.

Do you have to wait until the end to show up with the thieves?
"Unexpectedly, a new character suddenly appeared in the script," the director said in a deep voice, "There are many lines that seem to be puzzles, so I think it may be an important character...

"The problem is, there are no actors here to play, and there is no time or money to recruit..."

Damu looked at Xiaolan who came out from the other room, and asked, "That, so can I trouble your daughter..."

"What?"

"Mr. Oki," Gao Cheng yawned and walked out of the bathroom, "Can you let me read the new script before the filming starts?"

"Of course." Oki said happily when he saw Gao Cheng and Ayumi, who had also just woken up, "The new plot still needs a lot of children. Can everyone help?"

"Huh? Us?"

Ayumi was stunned and cheered in surprise.

"That's how it's going to be on TV, right?!"

"Yes, that's right..."

One day of filming required a lot of preparatory work, especially the new characters still had a lot of problems. Gao Cheng took advantage of the gap between preparations to read the script alone on the set.

Xun Gengsaku didn't even bring a computer with him, which means he didn't intend to continue writing the script at the beginning, but now he specially found a place to write the script and sent it to the producer, which means it was a temporary decision.

Although he is not familiar with script creation, he has also contacted many crews and served as a consultant.

For senior screenwriter Tatsumi Gengsaku, such mistakes as suddenly creating new characters during filming should not be made at all, not to mention that Tatsumi Gengsaku should also understand the difficult situation of the crew. Very problematic...

There is only one explanation.

The new script is not used for filming by the crew.

But...

Gao Cheng held down the printed script, and turned his gaze to the busy crew.

Tatsumi Gengsaku wants to pass the message through the script without telling someone...
