In Conan, people have a brain option system

Akikawa Kyusuke took out the mouthwash from the bag and poured it on his clothes.

After making sure that the part that was previously stained with blood is completely soaked,

Akikawa Kyusuke put his clothes aside for the time being.

Then I started rubbing my clothes again.

After doing all this, Akikawa Kyousuke pressed the flush button on the toilet again and rinsed the clothes.

Thanks to the clean toilet in the Imperial Theater, there was no strange smell on Akikawa Kyusuke's clothes.

Finally, Akikawa Kyusuke soaked the wig stained with the blood of the deceased.

After cleaning up the bathroom, Akikawa Kyusuke left the cubicle and came to the front of the sink to observe his injuries.

At the same time, I silently counted the time in my heart.

"It took about 20 minutes in total from disposing of the body in the room to going to the bathroom to dispose of the murder weapon and blood stains."

Through the faint music coming from the theater, Akikawa Kusuke could roughly judge when the performance was going on.

"We're halfway through the third act, and we're running out of time."

Now, there are two final things left.

One is to bind the "murder weapon" he prepared to Nishihara Koichi.

The other is that he needs to return to the laundry room where he was attacked again to ensure that he and the deceased are found together.

In the middle of the third act, Koichi Nishihara met the actors of the fourth act in advance to prepare before going on stage.

Although he will have an alibi from this moment on.

But Akikawa Kousuke judged that Nishihara Koichi would definitely choose to let people discover himself and the deceased only after he took the stage.

That is to say.

Akikawa Kyusuke needs to accurately enter Nishihara Koichi's lounge during the period when he leaves his personal lounge but has not yet taken the stage.

In addition, Akikawa Kyusuke also observed the situation in the Imperial Theater.

I learned that only the main entrances and exits, auditoriums, and important props and costume areas in the Empire Theater will be equipped with cameras.

To protect privacy.

There were no cameras near the artist lounge, dressing room, and dressing room where Akikawa Kyusuke was previously.

There are also no cameras in the remote warehouse and laundry areas where I am now.

Koichi Nishihara must have noticed this, so he chose the laundry room to start with.

The coverage area of ​​the camera is narrow, which originally has only disadvantages but no advantages in catching the real culprit.

But for Akikawa Kongsuke, who has now decided to frame the blame again, it actually makes his actions easier.

After confirming that the end of the third act was approaching, Akikawa Kyusuke set off for the artist lounge area.

After finding Koichi Nishihara's lounge, Akikawa Kousuke knocked on the door gently, confirmed that no one was inside, then pushed the door open and walked in through his clothes.

There are personal belongings of Koichi Nishihara in the room.

Akikawa Kyousuke clamped both sides of the zipper puller through his clothes and opened Nishihara Koichi's bag.

The purpose of this step was to prevent his clothes from rubbing off the remaining fingerprints of Koichi Nishihara on the zipper, thereby arousing unnecessary suspicion.

The inside of Nishihara Koichi's bag was very clean, and there were no medical protective clothing or motorcycle helmets that he had seen before.

Akikawa Kyusuke was not surprised by this.

He took out the hair that was soaked in the bathroom and stuffed it into Nishihara Koichi's bag.

Then he zipped up the bag in the same way as before, and after confirming that no one was outside, he left Nishihara Koichi's room and returned to the laundry room again.

It's a cold February now.

And before leaving the laundry room, Akikawa Kyousuke turned off the central air conditioner in the room.

In addition, Akikawa Kyusuke did not close the door of the laundry room.

Therefore, the room that was originally at a comfortable temperature also cooled down rapidly in a short period of time.

Akikawa Kyusuke recalled the injury on his forehead that he had just observed in the bathroom.

The actual injury was much less severe than Akikawa Sousuke thought.

Akikawa Kyousuke stretched out his hand, gently touched the wound on his forehead that had subcutaneous hematoma, and said softly:

"That's not okay. It doesn't make people feel the killing intent at all."

——

The performance of the fourth act officially begins.

As the curtain opened, a pub with a British style at the end of the nineteenth century appeared in the center of the stage.

*jingle*

Accompanied by the clear and sweet sound of the bell, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

Koichi Nishihara, who plays Danny Hecker, the second deceased person in this "Voice of the Dead" case,

Officially appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"Same old."

Koichi Nishihara put his bag on the ground and said to the tavern owner at the bar.

Within half a minute, a glass filled with dark amber liquor was placed on the bar.

Nishihara Koichi picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and drank the liquid in the wine glass in one gulp.

"Hi~ha!"

Nishihara Koichi frowned and let out a loud gasp.

"Enjoyed——! Have another drink!"

The wine glass was hit on the bar with a "bang", and Nishihara Koichi said to the boss at the counter with a voice that was obviously more excited and louder than before.

Although it seemed like he was just an ordinary customer coming to the pub to have a drink.

However, the audience at the scene seemed to experience the spiciness and excitement of the wine in the glass through Nishihara Koichi's performance.

And the pleasure that comes to oneself after drinking a glass of strong wine.

"Huh?"

Director Takemura Mine, who was in the stage control room, looked at Nishihara Koichi's performance on the stage and let out a surprised sound.

"Why do you feel that Nishihara-kun's condition today is suddenly much better than before?"

As an actor who has been involved in the film and television industry for many years, Koichi Nishihara is accustomed to expressing himself through subtle movements and expressions.

When performing on the stage,

It is inevitable that the movements and expressions are not vivid enough and exaggerated.

With these few weeks of practice, Nishihara Koichi has reached a level that satisfies Takemura Mine.

But Zhucunfeng discovered it.

Koichi Nishihara's performance after taking the stage today was actually much more vivid than during the final rehearsal.

And it was just as Takemuramine thought.

Koichi Nishihara is indeed in excellent condition today.

Because today, he once again experienced the pleasure of sadism for the first time in a long time.

at the same time.

Soon after.

The person who made him feel very annoying and disgusting from the second meeting,

He will lose his identity as an artist forever in the most ugly and despised way.

Suddenly at this time, all the lights in the theater were turned on.

He also showed a confused expression at the right time, and looked up to the top of his head.

"The show is cancelled."

Listening to the voice coming from the speaker, a subtle arc appeared at the corner of Nishihara Koichi's mouth.

"Your acting skills are pretty good, but it's a pity that no one can see them anymore."
