The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 160 Something unexpected happened

The four of them entered the theater, and there were still more than ten minutes before the show was to begin.

Bai Masong and others took their seats one after another.

Coincidentally, the positions of the four people were actually connected.

Well, it’s not really a coincidence.

Kuroba Kaito knew that Hakuba Matsu was coming, so he bought a ticket as well.

The Chunjing Fengchuan comeback show is not actually that famous, and the tickets are cheap.

Bai Masong bought a seat in the first row, and Kuroba Kaito was not short of money either, so naturally he also sat in the first row.

In this way, the two groups of people met each other.

After taking their seats, the two men naturally got to know each other and sat close to each other, with their respective girlfriends sitting next to them.

Seeing that the performance had not yet begun, Kuroba Kaito asked Hakuba Matsu with a mysterious look on his face,

"Brother Song, do you know why I know about this performance?"

Bai Masong was a little confused. Wasn’t it because he often paid attention to things in the magic world?

"That's only part of the story."

Kuroba Kaito said with a smile on his face,

"The main reason is that Mr. Chunjing Fengchuan actually likes to surf the Internet!"

"What do you mean?"

Bai Ma Song asked.

"Now that the Internet is well developed, there are all kinds of chat groups on the Internet, you know?"

Kuroba Kaito said,

Bai Masong nodded. Of course he knew that the future generations were much more developed than the present.

"Mr. Harui Fuchu and I just happened to join the same chat group for magic enthusiasts!"

Kuroba Kaito said with a smile.

"Hey, is it such a coincidence?"

Nakamori Aoko said in surprise,

"Doesn't that mean that you and Mr. Harui Fuchuen are also good friends?"

"That's not true,"

Kuroba Kaito shook his head.

"We all use pseudonyms online and don't communicate using our real names."

"And I knew it was him because his online name was Fraud Boy, which was the stage name he used when he debuted as a young man, so I knew it right away."

After hearing this, Bai Ma Song glanced at Kuroba Kaito and asked calmly,

"So, is Mr. Chunjing Fengchuan's comeback related to the chat group?"

"Um,"

Kuroba Kaito nodded.

"Brother Song is right. It is indeed related."

"It all started when we were chatting about who was the best magician, and someone mentioned Mr. Harui Fuchuen."

"But some people also say that when Mr. Harui Fuden was young, he was indeed the best 'Escape King' and his escape magic was also very powerful. But now that he is old, it is not certain whether he still has some strength left."

"So, Mr. Harui Fuchuen was so angry that he decided to make a comeback like this?"

Nakamori Aoko heard this and said.

“It should be like this.”

Kuroba Kaito affirmed.

Sato Miwako also laughed.

"It seems that Mr. Harui Fuchuen is quite competitive."

......

After a chat among the few people, the magic show was about to begin.

The performance began with a few simple magic tricks.

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at Mr. Chunjing Fengchuan's specialty - escaping from water.

As the name suggests, water escape means escaping from a large water tank.

The top of the water tank, which is also the entrance and exit, is locked.

Therefore, how the magician escapes from a closed environment is the highlight of this type of escape magic.

Escaping from water is even more difficult, because it requires a lot of physical strength from the magician, as well as a lot of time to escape, so it has always been the most interesting escape magic.

Chun Jingfeng was once known as the "Escape King". His underwater escape was much more difficult than that of other magicians.

Other magicians, when entering the water, would basically only impose one or two restrictions.

But Harui Fuden was brave enough to challenge himself. He once added five restrictions, and the method of opening each one was different.

There were as many as four restrictions on his entry into the water this time.

The hands, feet, torso, and even the fingers were all locked tightly.

This level of locking is extremely difficult, even for a layman.

Listening to the tense music ringing in their ears, as old Mr. Chunjing Fengchuan slowly immersed himself in the water, a black curtain covered the water tank, and everyone's heart was lifted.

"Dong...dong...dong..."

Half a minute later, there was a slight knocking sound from the water tank.

Sato Miwako couldn't help but grab Bai Basong's hand and asked in a low voice with a worried look on her face,

"Mr. Harui Fuden, will everything be alright?"

"Won't,"

Bai Masong squeezed her hand and said softly,

"Knocking on the water tank is a common technique in magic. It can stir up the emotions of the audience and make the atmosphere more tense."

"The more worried we are now, the greater the audience's reaction will be when the magician comes out later."

"Ah."

After hearing this, Sato Miwako nodded, leaned against Hakuba Song and continued watching.

Time passed little by little.

As time passed, Bai Ma Song also frowned.

The time a person can hold his breath underwater is limited, and most underwater escapes can be completed within a few minutes.

But, now five or six minutes have passed, why...

Baiba Song turned his head to look at Kuroba Kaito, only to see that Kuroba Kaito also had a frown on his face and a worried look in his eyes.

At this moment, a young woman from the backstage led the staff and ran onto the stage with an anxious look on their faces.

She was saying something anxiously to the staff on the stage, seemingly giving orders.

At this time, Bai Masong also knew that something really happened.

It seems that something unexpected happened during Mr. Chunjing Fengchuan's performance!

At this moment on the stage, the woman was seen tearing off the black curtain.

The curtain was pulled up, and many of the audience couldn't help but scream.

At this time, Chunjing Fengchuan had his eyes closed and looked like he was unconscious.

"Hurry up and open the lid, my grandpa is unconscious, please rescue him!"

On the stage, Harui Fuden's granddaughter, Tanaka Kikue, looked anxious and angry as she shouted at the staff nearby.

"I, we are trying, but the lid lock is opened from the inside, we can't open it from the outside..."

The staff member also looked anxious, he didn't want anything to happen.

"What about safety measures? What about safety ropes?"

Kikue Tanaka screamed hysterically.

"The safety rope broke not long ago. We are repairing it now. It may take another five minutes to replace it with a new one..."

The staff member spoke with a frustrated look on his face, and his voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Kikue Tanaka was in despair. In five minutes, his grandfather would be over seventy years old. There was no way he would survive.
