Haibara Ai tried her best to imitate Conan's tone, and with the voice changer inside the mask, it was 90% similar.

"If you can't hold on, don't force it."

Ran Mouri comforted her softly and did not realize that Conan in front of her was Ai Haibara in disguise.

However, Qin Zhibo, who was standing by, noticed something.

Although his face was covered by a mask-like covering and his identity information could not be seen, according to Qin Zhibo's naked eye observation, Conan today was at least one degree whiter than usual.

Is this powdered?

Qin Zhibo observed carefully and found that in addition to the exposed face, the arms and knees had also turned white.

Could it be that Conan has been staying in the hospital these days and his body has turned pale?

This idea was rejected as soon as it appeared in his mind, because Qin Zhibo clearly remembered that Conan was not so white the day before yesterday.

Is this the miracle that Haibara Ai wants me to see?

Conan turned white?

In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Qin Zhibo walked to Conan as if nothing had happened, and rubbed Conan's hair casually, like an elder caressing a younger one.

Touching hair is also physical contact, but the survey did not work.

So, Qin Zhibo squatted in front of Conan again and reached out to grab "Conan's" thin arm.

The results of this investigation finally popped up.

[Name: Miyano Shiho]

No wonder this skin color looks familiar...

"You've recovered quite well. Uncle is relieved now..."

"Come on, act well."

"Thank you, I will definitely work hard!" Mao Lilan expressed her determination.

Qin Zhibo smiled slightly and straightened the wig on Haibara Ai's head which was slightly tilted.

Standing there, Huibara Ai narrowed her eyes slightly, but could only let Qin Zhibo rub her.

Now, Haibara Ai somewhat understands why Conan said that there is a kind of pressure in getting along with Qin Zhibo, and this pressure is sometimes tangible and sometimes intangible.

Taking her eyes off Qin Zhibo, Huihara Ai looked at Dr. Cheng Shi again.

I really didn't expect that Dr. Cheng Shi would come...

After all, today is someone's first discharge from the hospital. If possible, Haibara Ai wants to keep everyone she cares about away from the gymnasium as much as possible.

This will not only reduce the probability of something happening to acquaintances, but also reduce the probability of the real Conan nearby being exposed to acquaintances.

Fortunately, Qin Zhibo is accompanying Dr. Cheng Shi. With his strength, no one should be able to kill someone in front of him.

It seems that this "insurance" was really bought right.

Before leaving the backstage to take a seat in the front audience seats, Haibara Ai, wearing Conan's costume, glanced backstage again and took another look at Aida Tomoaki who was directing Ran Mouri's lines.

No exception.

……

The stage play is about to begin, and Qin Zhibo, Cheng Shi, Maori Kogoro, Toyama Kazuha, and "Conan" take their seats respectively.

In order to prevent being rubbed again, Haibara Ai took the initiative to sit as far away from Qin Zhibo.

Chapter 424 The Silent Black Knight

Following a prolonged ring of the electric bell, the lights in the entire gymnasium suddenly went out.

After the announcement from the loudspeaker, the curtain on the stage slowly opened.

Ran Mao Li, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, lamented her fate at the window of the castle set.

"O omniscient and omnipotent Zeus!"

"Why do you treat a poor woman like me like this? Do you really want me to sacrifice myself in this hopeless marriage?"

This scene reminded Qin Zhibo of the opening of "The King in Yellow", where Queen Cassilda was in her castle, lamenting her fate facing Lake Harry.

then……

Just when Qin Zhibo's thoughts were about to go astray, Maori Kogoro next to him suddenly cheered towards the stage.

"Good! Good!"

"What a great performance! Great performance!"

The people around him looked at him in surprise, and Maori Kogoro shamelessly explained: "That's my daughter, haha..."

Although Kogoro Mouri's voice did not achieve any other results, it helped Qin Zhibo to focus his thoughts on the current play.

……

The performance on stage continued, and the subsequent plot was relatively standard.

There is no supernatural content. It's just that the princess of a certain country played by Mao Lilan was sent to a neighboring country to get married. She encountered soldiers sent by the neighboring country who wanted to kill the princess and prevent the marriage.

This part of the plot is not explained clearly, but Qin Zhibo guessed that these killers might have been sent by a pro-war official from a neighboring country without the knowledge of the king.

"We have been ordered to kill the princess so that we can destroy this marriage!"

"Jie Jie..."

The three high school students played the villains as if they were real villains, which made Qin Zhibo praise their acting skills.

The bad guys are set to have relatively high combat power, and they can knock down the soldiers guarding the princess with just a few traditional Iaijutsu moves.

Just when the bad guys kidnapped the princess played by Ran Mouri from the carriage, Toyama Kazuha, who was full of justice in the audience, could no longer hold back.

"Xiaolan! Use your karate kick to knock them over!"

This shout startled Cheng Shi, who was concentrating on watching the show. His body trembled violently and he leaned towards Qin Zhibo unconsciously.

At this moment, the lights on the stage suddenly brightened up, and several crow feathers fell from the sky.

A knight in black jumped down from a height and drove the bad guys away with a wave of his hand.

Then Ran Mao Li said her lines as usual, expressing her gratitude and wishing she could see the face under the mask.

But the black knight didn't say anything and just hugged Ran Mouri in his arms.

"Xiaolan is such a good actress!"

After seeing the exciting scene, Toyama and Ye remembered that this was a play.

Kogoro Mouri, who was standing by, immediately became restless and wanted to rush onto the stage excitedly.

"You damned brat, how dare you do anything to my unmarried daughter? I won't let you off!"

Fortunately, Toyama Kazuha grabbed Mouri Kogoro's arm and tried to stop him, so Mouri Kogoro did not rush onto the stage immediately.

However, as the duo who were in and out of the play left their seats, Qin Zhibo saw a person sitting next to "Conan".

Haibara Ai was also looking up at this person with a hint of surprise on her face.

Qin Zhibo recognized this person from his identity information at a glance.

[Name: Hattori Heiji]

Although he is Hattori Heiji, his skin is much whiter than usual.

Did he and Conan agree to bleach their skin together?

……

The performance on the stage continues, and Mao Lilan reveals the identity of the Black Knight.

"You're not, Spector?"

"The prince of the Tollamp Kingdom who was stabbed between the eyebrows by his father and expelled from the palace?"

Qin Zhibo: The Kingdom of Tollamp?

Sonoko, I suspect you are a prophet!

The black knight was a ruthless man of few words and nodded in acknowledgment.

Then, in the beautiful music and ambiguous atmosphere, the two of them moved their lips closer to each other.

But when the two lips were less than a centimeter apart, the much-anticipated moment finally occurred.

A sharp and penetrating scream echoed throughout the gymnasium, interrupting a couple who were about to successfully kiss.

Qin Zhibo, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately took action. Maori Kogoro also reacted quickly and ran towards the direction of the scream with Qin Zhibo.

When we ran to the place and took a look, we found that the person was indeed beyond saving.

The light of the corpse investigation was floating on his body. Judging from the struggling expression on his face, he had tried his best to delay, but his physical condition did not allow him to delay for another two seconds.

【Survey√】

[Name of the deceased: Kohei Urata]

[Death time: 10 seconds ago]

[Cause of death: cyanide poisoning]

[Corpse investigation completed, skill acquired: Medical]

[Acquire repeated skills, converted into 1000 proficiency of that skill]

The investigation of Qin Zhibo's body has been completed. Maori Kogoro had just confirmed his pulse and shook his head regretfully.

"There's no hope, he's already dead..."

The system's task prompt also popped up at this time.

Side quest: Find out the murderer in this case.

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Task reward: 400 general skill proficiency, 150 social credit

-

Under the leadership of Kogoro Mori, all the idlers around stepped back, and the doors of the gymnasium were locked, not allowing anyone to leave.

The black knight instinctively moved closer to the corpse to watch. He glanced around and noticed something on the ground. He subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by a weak force beside him.

The black knight tilted his head and saw "Conan".

"Conan" looked at the black knight, shook his head firmly, then turned and gestured to Qin Zhibo who was standing next to the corpse.

Black Knight: “…”

While Haibara Ai grabbed the sleeve of the black knight with one hand, her eyes were staring coldly at the corpse lying on the ground and the several people standing near the corpse who claimed to be the "friends" of the deceased. Her thoughts went back to twelve days ago.

Those few staff members from Mihua General Hospital I met in the corridor that time, it really was them who had an accident...

Bringing Qin Zhibo here was definitely the right choice.

……

At this time, Qin Zhibo did not notice the movements of the black knight and was concentrating on finding the investigation point.

The first point of investigation was the drink cup that the deceased dropped on the ground.

【Survey√】

[The mouth of the beverage cup is open]

The second investigation point...

Qin Zhibo looked around but did not find the second investigation point.

At this moment, Masashi, who had finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, looked at the three people standing next to the deceased and said, "Hey? Aren't you Mai and Yume?"

The two female companions who came with the deceased were also quite surprised to see Cheng Shi.

"Chengshi? Why are you here too?"

"And the way you dress..."
