Chapter 218 Golden Rose Theater (Part 6)
While the mercenaries were chatting in the box, others also went to their own boxes one after another.
The novelist, composer and little girl were in one box, the gardener and doctor were in one box, and the rest of the people were in another box.
Sonoko boasted to everyone, "I've booked the largest box this time. The view from here is amazing! I can see right into the center of the stage, and even see some hidden mechanisms behind the curtains!"
Conan stood on a stool and took a closer look, and indeed he could see some mechanical devices behind the curtain being operated by the actors on the stage.
Afterwards, Sonoko happily admired the photo she had just taken: "Xiaolan, look at this knight's outfit. It's much more handsome than Shinichi's black knight that time. Next time, why don't you let Shinichi dress like this and take a photo with you?"
Xiaolan blushed immediately: "Hey, Shinichi wouldn't dress like that."
Maori Kogoro spoke up at this time: "Huh, I think that detective boy will probably like the Sherlock Holmes costume, just like the gentleman and Miss Emma we saw just now."
Yuanzi became excited: "That seems to be a good idea, I will ask them where they have clothes like this custom made, and then I can make a couple's pair for you and Xin."
Conan showed his half-moon eyes: Haha, forget about the couple's Sherlock Holmes costume.
Huiyuan stood aside and laughed: "It seems that everyone has a deep stereotype of you."
Conan held his chin with his hand and said nothing, but the three little ones were clamoring to go on an adventure. After all, they had just seen various mechanisms on the stage and wanted to find out what they were.
So, the three little ones slipped out of the box while no one was paying attention and ran to the back of the stage.
Yuan Tai looked at the circle of switches and levers here and exclaimed: "Wow, there are so many mechanisms here."
Mitsuhiko reminded: "Don't move, there are actors rehearsing on the stage."
Ayumi noticed an empty perfume bottle in the glove box nearby: "What is this? It smells so good."
Mitsuhiko: "It must be some actress's perfume that she threw here after using it."
Yuantai discovered that there were actually several rooms in the backstage, and immediately ran over happily, muttering about adventure.
Yuantai rashly pushed open the door of a room and bumped into a spider that was weaving inside.
"Ah!" Spider was caught off guard and was startled by Yuantai's sudden intrusion.
Genta was also startled, while Mitsuhiko and Ayumi came over after hearing the noise.
"Hey, isn't this Sister Valletta?" Ayumi recognized the circus member who had made the little dolls.
The spider's crouching figure was just level with the children. "Oh, the children still remember Valletta, and that makes Valletta happy!"
"Did Sister Valletta change her career and work here?"
"Yes, yes. Violetta is the tailor here now, preparing handkerchiefs and scarves for everyone. But most of the clothing design is still done by the stylist, and Violetta is working hard on it."
Spider gave Ayumi a handkerchief she had made, and then her voice became excited: "But Violetta wants to be a real actor, standing on the stage, and everyone applauds Violetta..."
The three little ones encouraged the spider: "Sister Valletta will definitely succeed!"
However, this exciting scene was interrupted by an unexpected guest, Jack (Golden Scissors), who walked in wearing a burgundy suit tonight.
"Valletta, are the handkerchiefs and scarves we need tonight ready?"
"Oh, Mr. Stylist. Yes, Mr. Jack, it's ready." Spider immediately turned around and handed the box full of handkerchiefs and scarves to Jack.
"Thank you for your hard work, Violetta. I think with these fabrics you've decorated, the actors will surely shine on stage." Jack smiled and cast his eyes on the three little ones. "Children, the show is about to begin. You should return to your boxes."
Although Jack looked very kind on the surface, his eyes that were like examining prey still frightened the three little ones. They were so scared that they quickly ran back to the box.
[Spider: Oh, what lovely children.]
[Jack: They found the perfume bottle and also had the handkerchief given by Violetta.]
[Novelist: Key Clues to the Case*2]
[Perfumer: The perfume is used by Lady Mary and Margaretha, but only Margaretha has the handkerchief.]
[Jack: After all, the handkerchief Lady Mary used was carefully made by Valletta, and the embroidery on it is incomparable to ordinary ones.]
[Spider: Ah, if necessary, Valletta can provide everyone with fine silk scarves.]
[Dancer: No need, Valletta, it’s great that you have this intention and are working hard.]
The three little ones running back to the box caught Dr. Agasa's attention: "Where did you three just run to?"
The three little ones recounted their experiences, and Conan heard a clue.
"Wait, what was the name of that stylist?"
"Sister Valletta called him Mr. Jack. He was wearing a burgundy suit. He was tall, but looked fierce."
Conan's pupils trembled. "Oh my god, this guy Jack is here! Should I tell Mr. Naib about this? Or maybe Mr. Naib already knew about it? Damn, he's with Amuro Toru now, maybe he's carrying out the Black Organization's plan. I can't go to him rashly, otherwise Mr. Naib will be exposed."
Conan was racking his brains for a way to break the impasse, when the door of the box was knocked.
In walked Crazy Eyes, the photographer, and the perfumer, who stood aside quite self-consciously without saying a word.
Mad Eyes (the miser) wore gold-rimmed glasses, revealing the shrewdness and harshness unique to the upper class. He was dressed in a well-fitting black suit adorned with a large amount of jewels. At this moment, this old man, who held a high position in the troupe, was flatteringly guiding the man behind him.
The photographer (DM) was wearing a black tuxedo, a pair of round glasses, the Melodi family crest was worn on his chest, and he was also leaning on a silver noble cane.
"Master Melodi, these are the guests you want to meet, right?" Crazy Eyes rubbed his hands and pointed the way for the photographer.
The photographer smiled gently. "Hello, Mr. Maori, this is the second time we meet. The last time we met was at Lady Diana's dinner."
Maori Kogoro reacted: "Hey, I remember, your name was De La Something?"
"My name is Desi Melodi. You must be referring to the pseudonym I used at the time. After all, with my status, I still need a fake identity to satisfy some personal preferences."
Sonoko had already recognized the photographer: "Ahhh, aren't you the handsome guy who always takes postcards? I have a lot of them in my collection! And I heard that the Melody family is a shareholder of this theater company."
The perfumer coughed twice and said, "Well, this is a little hobby of the master of the family. To prevent gossip, he uses a pseudonym to do some trivial things."
The photographer continued smiling. "I'm sure you're all looking forward to tonight's performance just like me. It's about to start, so I won't bother you any more."
When the photographer turned and left, he glanced at Conan intentionally or unintentionally.
Noticing the photographer's gaze, Conan felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He could sense that tonight's performance would definitely not go smoothly.
