"The show is about to begin, please come in and watch the show." The radio played over and over again, and the crowd slowly moved towards the giant stage.

Mingyue and others arrived at the entrance of the giant stage and were preparing to enter.

Seeing a familiar figure from behind, Yuanzi remembered the feedback she had promised Miss Yoko to give her after drinking the milk tea, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss Yoko, milk tea..."

Before Sonoko could finish speaking, she saw the person in front of her turn around. It was not Yoko, but the lady who was next to the magician Mr. Kurokawa.

The other party bowed first and said with a smile: "Sorry, I am not Miss Yoko. Miss Yoko is over there in the audience. If you want to find her, I can take you there."

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. You and Yoko's backs are very similar." Yuanzi apologized shyly.

But the other party seemed to be used to it, and smiled, "It is precisely because my figure is similar to Miss Yoko's that I can hold the position of magician's assistant. It is normal for you to make mistakes. Even Mr. Kurokawa sometimes makes mistakes. Mixed up."

Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue with a smile, "So you can't judge who the other person is by his back or figure."

Mingyue rolled her eyes and ignored Kudo Shinichi. Mr. Detective, you don’t know the basis of my judgment at all.

The magic assistant, who is similar in stature to Ms. Yoko, calls herself Mito Miyamoto, and introduces that she has been in this performance team for a year and a half. The magician Kurokawa has been guiding her in magic performances. The two of them have A magic that has been rehearsed for a long time and will be performed on this stage today.

"That's really something I'm looking forward to." Mao Lilan looked forward to it.

Mito Miyamoto led everyone to a good viewing position, "I hope you will enjoy this performance."

At this time, Miss Yoko came over. Kudo Shinichi looked around at Yoko and Miyamoto Mizu. If they didn't look at their faces, they had exactly the same figure.

"Miss Suzuki Er, this is a seat reserved for you and your friends. The viewing angle is very good, and you can interact with the magician." Miss Yoko introduced to Sonoko.

This stage is the same as a regular stage for magic performances. The audience all sits on one side, facing the stage. There is a thick black cloth behind the stage. Coupled with the dim lights, the backstage cannot be seen at all, giving people a feeling of being in darkness. .

After Miss Yoko made arrangements, she said goodbye and left.

Mao Lilan sat on a soft chair, looking at the dark stage in front of her, feeling a little scared. When she saw Yoko leaving, she asked aloud: "Won't Miss Yoko watch with us?"

Yangzi smiled slightly and said mysteriously: "I'm not sitting here because I have a secret mission."

As everyone watched Yoko leave, the auditorium was filled with people one after another, and people kept pouring in. Even the steps at the entrance were full of people.

Mingyue looked around, thinking that if there was an accident, she probably wouldn't be able to run away. After all, there were people everywhere, and people were next to each other. If there was a bomb or a vicious attack...

Uh, why am I thinking about this? Mingyue fell into deep thought, and she was really used to looking for an escape route before going to a place. But if an accident really happened, the best escape route would be backstage. But if an accident happened backstage, then the way to get out of here would be...

Mao Lilan's voice interrupted Mingyue's thinking.

"Xinyi, you said Miss Yoko left such a good seat for us, why don't you sit here?" Mao Lilan was a little confused and looked for Miss Yoko in the crowd behind her.

Kudo Shinichi also looked behind him, "Maybe Miss Yoko really has some mission."

"What mission will she have? Mingyue, do you know?" Yuanzi looked at Mingyue who was playing with her mobile phone.

Mingyue put the phone back in her pocket, rolled her eyes, looked at Yuanzi and said with a smile: "I probably know, but what I say now is not appropriate."

"Eh?! Have you already guessed it?" Kudo Shinichi looked at Mingyue.

Ming Yue was a little speechless, "You couldn't guess it, right?" Kudo Shinichi left his seat, came to Ming Yue's side, and whispered a few words in Ming Yue's ear.

Mingyue nodded, and Shinichi smiled confidently, as cunning as a fox.

"They seem to be working in a small team, and they have secrets they don't want us to know." Yuanzi looked at Mingyue and Shinichi for half a month.

Mao Lilan's face was unhappy, her mouth pouted, and she was as angry as a little puffer fish.

Shinichi scratched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "It's not that I won't tell you, but if I tell you, it will be a waste of Miss Yoko's kindness. All in all, we can just sit here and watch the show. Right, Mingyue." "

Mingyue smiled slyly, looked at Kudo Shinichi and said, "If Sonoko asks me secretly, I will definitely tell her. I will not hide it from Sonoko. If your family asks, I may not necessarily tell her."

bang~

Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan both blushed. Shinichi walked back to his position and sat down on his hands and feet. Mao Lilan lowered his head and looked at his toes.

Yuanzi looked at the two people who suddenly blushed speechlessly, and leaned towards Mingyue and said: "You are very clever in this move, but if I ask quietly, will you really tell me?"

"Knowing this may affect the viewing experience for a while. Are you sure you want to know this secret?" Mingyue answered seriously.

Yuanzi thought for a moment, "Forget it, it seems like it's a good thing that I don't know."

The first person to come on stage was the clown who was stepping on the big ball and suddenly he slipped off the big ball.

Mao Lilan exclaimed when she saw this, and almost rushed to the stage to help the clown.

As a result, the clown stood up from the ground and patted his butt. He tried to climb up the big ball several times on the stage, but he couldn't get up, or he fell off the other side after climbing up.

The audience burst into laughter.

Mao Lilan sat on the chair with some embarrassment. She was glad that she didn't rush forward. She looked around and saw that no one seemed to notice her, and she slowly exhaled.

Next came the animal performance. A man in animal skins danced with a whip, and a tiger jumped on the iron frame. The man in animal skins invited an audience member to come on stage. Many audience members raised their hands to express their desire to be on stage.

But the beast-skin man chose the petite Miss Yoko among the large audience. Yoko walked onto the stage in a kimono, a bright red color that was very dazzling on the black background. The man in the animal skin made Yoko lie down on the table in the middle of the stage, and danced his whip, making the tiger jump over Yoko.

The audience screamed in surprise.

Yuanzi whispered to Mingyue: "If you invite me up here, I won't be able to move, and I might cry. Miss Yoko is so brave, and she is so handsome. I didn't expect this at all. She is simply a beauty. A realistic version of the beast, and I think Miss Yoko’s kimono is as bright as a red rose.”

Mingyue said with a smile: "They won't invite you up. After all, it is still dangerous."

Then the magician's assistant Mito Miyamoto invited Mao Lilan to the stage. Mao Lilan was asked to spread his hands and hold up the magic blanket. The magician's assistant walked behind Mao Lilan and asked Mao Lilan to close her eyes and count dozens loudly.

Although Mao Lilan didn't know why he did this, he still did it as asked.

After counting to ten, white smoke rose up behind Mao Lilan. Mao Lilan shrank her neck in fright, and wanted to turn her head to look behind her, but stopped abruptly.

Magician assistant Miyamoto Mito disappeared behind Mao Lilan, and Miss Yoko in kimono suddenly appeared behind Mao Lilan. Yoko took the magic blanket from Mao Lilan's hand and smiled at Mao Lilan.

Mao Lilan was startled, with a face full of astonishment, while the magician's assistant appeared in the audience and waved to everyone.

Miss Yoko took Mao Lilan's hand and bowed to the audience. The light shone on Mao Lilan, and Mao Lilan felt as if she was the center of the world.

The audience in the audience praised it as wonderful.

Mao Lilan was sent off the stage by Yoko and returned to the audience, but her mood could not calm down for a long time.

Yuanzi looked at Mao Lilan excitedly and said, "Wow, Xiaolan, you can do magic too."

"Actually, I don't know either." Mao Lilan felt that her heart was beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

At this time, the magician Kurokawa slowly walked to the center of the stage pulling his magic cloak. At this time, the audience saw the magic cloak suspended in the air close to a balloon.

Then the magician Kurokawa wrapped the balloon in the cloak, and the balloon disappeared. The magician then put the cloak behind himself, opened the cloak, and slowly turned towards the audience to show that there was nothing behind the cloak. .

The magician let go of the cloak with both hands and took a few steps forward. The cloak actually stood in the middle of the stage.

The audience burst into violent applause.

The magician walked to the left side of the cloak and stretched out his hand towards the cloak. The cloak moved to the right. The magician stopped his hand and the cloak returned to its original place. Immediately afterwards, the magician grabbed the cloak with lightning speed and put it on himself. At this time, the cloak was like a piece of cloth.

But the sharp-eyed audience noticed that a hand stretched out from the bottom of the cloak. The magician squatted down, took off the magician's hat with that hand, showed it to everyone, and then put it back on the magician's head. superior.

Just when the audience speculated that someone was hiding in the cloak.

The magician swung the cloak from behind to the front. Everyone could see that the cloak was just a thin piece of cloth, and there seemed to be no one behind the magician.

When the magician unfolded the cloak, a spherical object appeared inside the cloak, rolling around in the cloak, as if trying to break through the cloak and escape.

The audience guessed that someone must be hiding between the magician and the cloak.

The magician then shook the cloak. At this time, the cloak was like a bed sheet, thin and soft. The audience clearly saw that there was nothing inside, and they were just guessing what was going on. The magician threw the cloak casually on the ground, then picked it up and opened it, and a smiling head appeared in front of the audience.

The head was suspended in the middle of the cloak. Seeing this wonderful scene, the audience was amazed.

The head flies up and down with the magician's hand. Under the head is a thin and soft cloak. The whole picture has an alternative beauty.

"Wow~" Ming Yue sighed, Sonoko stared at the cloak curiously, and Kudo Shinichi watched intently.

But this somewhat weird scene scared Mao Lilan to tears. She stared at the smiling head, but a kind of monster she had seen before appeared in her mind - the flying man.

There were applause and cheers all around, but Mao Lilan screamed a little in surprise.

Kudo Shinichi, who discovered the abnormality, quickly held Mao Lilan's hand to express comfort.

On the stage, the magician wrapped his head in a cloak and hugged it together. Just like that, the smiling head disappeared.

Then the magician unfolded the cloak, and the head appeared again, and the head turned around, kissed the magician, and the head and cloak slowly separated.

Mao Lilan screamed when she saw this scene. She felt that this was not a magic scene, but a large ghost scene. The applause and cheers of other surrounding spectators covered up Mao Lilan's screams.

Then the magician once again wrapped the head with the cloak, and the head disappeared again.

Magician Kurokawa bowed and left the stage, and the audience burst into applause.

Mao Lilan lay in Kudo Shinichi's arms and sobbed softly. Mingyue looked over and couldn't understand why Mao Lilan screamed and cried.

Yuanzi looked at Mao Lilan, and after noticing Mingyue's confused eyes, she thought for a moment and said, "Xiaolan must have been frightened. After all, that head feels quite scary."

Mingyue looked at Sonoko who had a serious look on her face, and seemed to be able to understand, but that head obviously had a nice smile, and it was the Miyamoto Mito, although the makeup was slightly exaggerated, and she also wore a headscarf to cover all her hair. Wrapped up, but no matter how you look at it, you are still alone.

At this time, the magic props for the next magic show have been pushed onto the stage by the clown.

The magician Kurokawa once again appeared on stage. First, he transformed into a set of goddess loose flowers, and magic cards were flying all over the sky. Some audience members were lucky enough to pick up a lot of them, but Mao Lilan didn't seem to have recovered from the shock just now, and several people also I didn't pay attention to the magic on the stage now.

"How about we leave." Yuanzi looked at Mao Lilan, seeming a little worried.

Mingyue looked back at the exit. It had already been blocked by people watching the performance, and they were sitting very far forward, making it difficult to get out. If you want to go backstage, you have to cross the stage where the magic show is taking place, which doesn't seem to be the optimal solution.

Kudo Shinichi gently comforted Mao Lilan and turned to look at the exit.

"No, it doesn't matter to me. I'll be fine in a moment." Mao Lilan was breathing heavily, as if trying to calm herself down.

At this time on the stage, the clown pushed a big box to the middle of the stage. The magician Kurokawa invited Miss Yoko to the stage. The two danced gracefully in the beautiful music. The blue-black magic cloak wrapped Yoko, and when the cloak moved, Open, Yoko's kimono turned into a close-fitting dress.

The magician opened the box, and Yoko was helped by the magician to get into the box. The magician came over and closed the box. The magic assistant brought dozens of swords and a cucumber.

The magician cut the cucumber with a sword and showed the broken end of the cucumber to the audience. The broken end was very smooth, which shows that the sword is actually very sharp. The magician raised his sword to plunge into the box, then opened the box again. The audience saw Yoko again, Yoko waved to everyone, and the box was closed again.

Amid the exclamations of the audience, the magician thrust his swords into the box one by one.

Mingyue looked at Yuanzi, who nervously held his fists in front of his chest.

At this time, Mao Lilan seemed to be much better, and she also looked at the stage. I don't know if it was the lighting or other reasons, but Mingyue felt that Mao Lilan's face was a little white.

Shinichi said: "Magic is all about deceiving the senses. Ms. Yoko is so small. Although there are many swords inserted in this box, there must be places to hide. The same goes for the previous magic. There must be someone hiding behind the cloak. It’s just that he hid very cleverly and was not discovered by us.”

"But it was really scary. I felt like I couldn't even look directly at Miss Miyamoto's face. She was such a gentle person, but she looked so scary at that time!" Mao Lilan was still frightened.

Kudo's new half-moon eyes looked at Mao Lilan, "You have recognized that it is Miyamoto Mito, why do you still find it scary?"

"What if, what if, Miss Miyamoto is possessed by the 'Owl' and turns into a wild beast?" Mao Lilan expressed her inner fear.

Several people looked at Mao Lilan, who had tears in her eyes, but her face looked much better now.

Kudo's new half-moon eyes said: "Those are just monsters in legends, they don't exist in reality."

On the stage, the magician turned the box around several times, showing the audience the box that was inserted into a hedgehog. After a while, the magician pulled out the swords one by one, opened the box, and Yoko, who was intact, walked out of it.

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

The magician Kurokawa took Yoko's hand and looked at her with a smile, as if he was looking at his beloved lover. He took a mask and carefully put it on Yoko. It was a tiger mask with very exquisite workmanship.

The clown and the man in animal skin pushed a large magic prop like a small house to the center of the stage. The magician led the masked woman inside and tied the masked woman inside. The masked woman tried to struggle twice, but failed to break free. open. The magician closed the door and tied the entire prop with chains.

The magician asked Yuanzi to come on stage to check the tightness of the entire iron chain and the magic props. Yuanzi pulled the iron chain and it was very strong. Then the magician handed Yuanzi a big lock and asked Yuanzi to lock both ends of the iron chain.

Yuanzi did as asked.

The magician then invites the audience to come on stage, surround the magic props hand in hand, and directs the audience to count down to tens.

nineteen……

one zero……

bang~

A burst of white smoke rose up, and everyone on the stage seemed to be trapped in a fog, unable to see their fingers.

After the smoke dissipated, the chains that had been tied up were broken, and the wooden boards shattered, revealing what was inside, which turned out to be a tiger.

The tiger paced back and forth in the cage, seemingly restless, while the masked woman ran out of the audience, waving and bowing to everyone.

Everyone at the scene started clapping and cheering.

The magician Kurokawa bowed to the audience, and the clown and the animal-skin man also came on stage and bowed to the audience.

The show ended and everyone left one after another.

Mingyue found it strange because the woman who finally appeared in the audience did not take off her mask, but just waved and greeted everyone. According to general magic, if you want the audience to confirm that the disappearing person and the reappearing person are the same person, all obstructions must be removed, so as to convince the audience.

And where does the vague smell of blood in the air come from? Although it is covered by the unpleasant smell of the tiger, it is impossible to distinguish the source of the blood smell.

But Mingyue was sure that it was the smell of blood.

Mao Lilan left the stage with everyone. After leaving the dim stage, she looked up at the blue sky. The warm sunshine shone on her, and Mao Lilan felt like she was alive again.

"We should go backstage to express our gratitude to Miss Yoko. After all, she gave us such a good seat." Mao Lilan suggested.

Yuanzi nodded, "I still want to tell her about the feedback on the milk tea."

After a few people went backstage, they looked around but didn't see Miss Yoko. Magician Kurokawa was busy cleaning up the scene and packing up various magic props.

The animal-skin man checked that every cage was locked to make sure everything was safe.

The clown saw a few people coming, so he stepped forward to ask why they were there. When he learned that the people were looking for Yoko, he shrugged, "She should have left right after the performance. It was the same way before. Cleaning, tidying up, that one The lady won’t do it, she just likes everyone to see her wonderful performance on the stage.”

Yuanzi frowned, "But she said she wanted my feedback after drinking the milk tea."

"If you don't write it on paper, I will hand it over to her then. After all, sometimes this lady is too lazy to answer the phone. She will only show up when Kurokawa is performing." The clown said helplessly.

The animal skin man came over and said, "If Miss Yoko leaves, then that guy's performance tonight will become a joke."

"Are there any performances tonight?" Mao Lilan asked puzzledly.

The clown pushed the animal skin man, "Don't talk nonsense, maybe they have already discussed it, maybe Miss Yoko is also making preparations."

"Can you tell us about the performance?" Yuanzi was very curious.

The clown and the animal-skin man looked at each other, and the clown said: "Actually, it's not a formal performance. It's just that Kurokawa said that he would confess his love to one person at the fireworks display tonight, and that night he would perform a unique performance for that person. Magic between individuals.”

"Is it Mr. Kurokawa who wants to express his love to someone? Is it Miss Xiangyangzi?" Mao Lilan was very interested.

The animal-skin man thought for a while, then said with some uncertainty: "Maybe so, but I heard that Miyamoto used to be Kurokawa's partner, and they were also lovers before."

"If you want to talk about Miyamoto, then she can be regarded as Kurokawa's Bai Yueguang. They were together when they were young, but they had misunderstandings due to some things, and they parted ways. Then they met again by chance, and they are still close partners now. However, Kurokawa should prefer Miss Yoko." The clown told what he knew.

The beast-skin man glanced at Kurokawa in the distance, snorted in displeasure and walked away.

The clown said quickly: "Oh, don't worry about it. That's what that person is like. He can't stand Miss Yoko pursuing Kurokawa. To put it bluntly, he also likes Miss Yoko, but Miss Yoko doesn't seem to like him. You want If you don’t wander around for a while, maybe Miss Yoko will come back, or leave me a contact number and I’ll contact you when Miss Yoko comes back.”

Yuanzi left his contact information, and several people left the backstage.

As soon as she left the backstage, Mao Lilan saw Gelin and ran over happily.

And Green seemed to be waiting for them...
