Now......

He walked up to Kogoro Mouri and whispered, "Teacher, it's true that you're very tough to leave on your own now."

"But what do you get out of it?"

"Dignity? Constantly going against your wife and living a miserable life, what kind of dignity is that?"

"Is that happiness? Drinking alone in a tavern, constantly thinking about your teacher's wife's stern expression and warning words, what kind of happiness is that?"

"Freedom? Yes, a person can eat whatever they want and drink whatever they want, but the result is that the body is hollowed out by the emptiness of freedom, and the opportunity to spend the rest of their life with their family is lost. What kind of freedom is that?"

"In short, I still think it's more appropriate to go with your teacher's wife and the others. Drinking is a minor issue. The most important thing is that you gradually win over your teacher's wife with your personal charm."

"Teacher, what do you think?"

Yusuke Suzuki spoke very quickly, finishing a long speech in no time.

Kogoro Mouri stared at him, completely bewildered.

You think you're at KFC with me? And I have solid proof.

However... there is some truth to this.

The bumbling detective coughed lightly twice, as if to set the stage for something.

Looking up, she realized that Eri and her group had already walked about ten meters away.

This kind of subconscious tension and panic is very difficult to control.

He quickly chased after her, calling out, "Eri, wait for me, Eri!"

Yusuke Suzuki followed closely behind, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

The mealtime was neither too long nor too short, about 40 minutes.

The bumbling detective still ended up drinking.

There was no way to stop Eri from pleading and cajoling, and besides, she felt quite sorry for the clueless detective.

When the group returned to the theater, there were already many people there to watch the audition.

After finally finding the seats that Ito Tamanosuke had arranged for them, there were less than 20 minutes left before the performance.

Because it's summer, it's not dark yet. Soon, people outside will close the windows to create a dark atmosphere.

Hmm... a perfect place for crime.

After adjusting his seat, Yusuke Suzuki quietly lowered his sense of smell considerably.

There were too many people, and the air circulation system wasn't very effective, so he had to rely on himself.

Strong people never complain about the environment.

As the performance time approached, the theater gradually quieted down until it was completely silent.

The window was closed quickly.

The show begins.

At this point, Yusuke Suzuki understood why Tamanosuke Ito was so determined not to stop the performance.

The stage, backdrop, and props are all exquisitely designed.

This is definitely a big production for this type of performance.

He wrote the script himself, and he also carefully invited big-name actors.

After working so hard for so long, how could we possibly give up just because of a threatening letter?

As a 17-year-old boy, he has plenty of drive and courage to seize opportunities to showcase himself.

Yusuke Suzuki turned his head, snatched a handkerchief from Ran Mouri, and stuffed it into Kogoro Mouri's mouth, who was snoring.

He sleeps wherever he goes and even snores.

So annoying!

"Hey bro, look what's that?!"

At that moment, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly raised her hand and pointed upwards.

Yusuke Suzuki looked up as well.

A figure was clearly visible on the ceiling screen, with red eyes.

Isn't this the weirdo that Ito Tamanosuke and the others were talking about?

He immediately looked toward Ashimi on the stage.

Not you?

Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Ashimi was clutching her throat, her expression pained.

The theater is now in a bit of chaos because quite a few people have seen that strange man.

Conan's face darkened; it was just like the plot of "The Phantom of the Opera"!

He immediately got up and ran towards the strange man's location, not forgetting to turn back and call out, "Brother Yusuke, go check on Miss Ashimi's condition!"

You're bossing me around again, aren't you?

Yusuke Suzuki was annoyed, but he really had to go and see.

After all, they've been named and shamed.

When he reached Ashimi, she was already being helped by another actress and was walking behind the curtain.

It looks like it's just a problem with his throat.

Because she insisted on participating in the performance, the strange man tried to prevent her from speaking.

Now even Yusuke Suzuki was a little confused.

If the weirdo is herself, then what is she after?

Chapter 857 Yes, please continue.

Even with all the cases Suzuki Yusuke had handled, he still couldn't figure out what Ashimi Kazube was up to.

Cases like these, where the motive is completely unknown at the beginning, can all be attributed to revenge.

Who will Ashimi seek revenge against?

First, she used threatening letters to put Kataoka Renka in the center of the conflict, and then she herself became a victim of the conflict.

Not long ago, she even asked Kataoka Renka to get her mouthwash.

Her current throat problem easily leads people to wonder if Kataoka Renka has tampered with the mouthwash.

Is she trying to use this combination of tactics to directly frame Kataoka Renka and send her to prison?

But what grudge could Kataoka Renka possibly have against her?

She was the lead actress, so it's a bit unreasonable to be jealous.

Moreover, characters like Kataoka Renka, who appear multiple times, are mostly portrayed as positive figures.

Was Ashimi Kazube trying to undermine Tamanosuke Ito?

When something like this happens during a performance, it has the biggest impact on the troupe.

As Yusuke Suzuki watched Ashimi Kazube's figure gradually disappear behind the curtain, he temporarily halted his thought process.

I'm really confused.

Completely incomprehensible.

He slowly returned to his seat in the audience and, seeing that Eri and the others were staring at him, said softly, "Miss Ashimi should just have a problem with her throat; there's no danger to her life."

In the Ke Xue incident, if someone is not dead when they are found, then they will not die later; this is a rule.

"Where's that weirdo?" Sonoko Suzuki asked, sucking her thumb in fear. "Brother, you must have seen him too, right?"

"His eyes glow red, he's no different from a monster. There really are supernatural beings in this world!"

Yusuke Suzuki gave his silly sister a light tap on the head, annoyed. "If it turns out this time it wasn't a monster causing trouble, you'll completely abandon these supernatural ideas from now on. Can you do that?"

Then he looked at Ran Mouri, who was equally nervous, and said, "You are too."

His attitude towards Ran Mouri has changed, and he's even using the same lecturing tone he used on Sonoko.

Ran Mouri could naturally sense this change.

Because of what his mother said last time, Yusuke now truly treats her like a younger sister.

This feeling is actually quite nice.

but......

There is simply no possibility of giving up the idea of ​​gods and ghosts!

A stubborn look appeared on her face. "But, Yusuke-nii, if there are no monsters, then why are there so many legends passed down?"

"Of course, it's to fool silly kids like you."

Yusuke Suzuki pulled the silent Ai Haibara into his arms, facing Ran Mouri and the others, poking his wife's cute little face with his finger.

"Look, Ai doesn't seem scared at all."

Ai Haibara, who was suddenly dragged over as a benchmark, was completely bewildered.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki also felt embarrassed.

Then, Yusuke Suzuki continued, "By now, we've encountered quite a few situations that you could call paranormal events, haven't we?"

"Basically, it's either caused by humans or by natural phenomena. In the past, when people encountered things they couldn't explain, they would record them and pass them down orally, which would then become legends."

"Understand."

The two women nodded in unison.

However, they still have reservations.

Ai Haibara, her face poked, remained speechless with her half-moon eyes.

Yes, please continue.
