Chapter 17551755【Another Phantom Thief】

Jiang Xia: "..." Speaking of which, Yoko Kinoshita seems to have become accustomed to Conan's alert appearance that is different from ordinary children. Maybe it's because she has very few contacts with children, and occasionally encounters a few, most of whom are child actors who are as big as a brat. She lacks enough child samples, so she thinks that Conan's behavior is still within the range of normal children.

Jiang Xia thought casually and said, "It's actually not difficult to figure this out."

Conan’s eyes lit up: “How do you say that?”

Jiang Xia squatted next to him, lowered his voice, and pointed to the screenwriter's room not far away: "Did you hear the buzzing sound of the machine? He seems to be printing the script. If you sneak in as a child and take a peek, You can immediately know the content of the script.”

Conan's heart suddenly moved, but he hesitated: "He won't hit me. Should I put something under my clothes before putting it in?"

Although Conan is fearless for the truth, he is not a **** after all. The news that the screenwriter kicked and hit Tamanosuke Ito just now is really shocking. Conan wanted to avoid harm as much as possible.

Jiang Xia: "His attitude towards children is much better than that towards adults. At most, he will blow your brains out like he did with Ito Megumi just now. You have a hard head, so it's not a big problem."

Conan: "..."Although it sounded like Jiang Xia was praising him, it still felt like something was not quite right...

But then I thought about it, Jiang Xia was at the door. Although Xiaolan went to take care of the brother and sister, she was not far from here. She also had anesthesia needles and foot-strengthening shoes... Could it be that the screenwriter could still beat him to death?

Remembering the abundant force behind him, Conan no longer hesitated. He adjusted his expression, tried his best to show a cute smile, and entered the screenwriter's room.

The printer on the table was running. Conan leaned over nonchalantly and pinched his throat: "Hey~ It's amazing! Page after page of the script was actually printed out!"

 Screenwriter: "..." What's so great about this, an ignorant little brat.

However, the child's heartfelt praise was indeed pleasing to the eye, and the screenwriter was a little proud, so he didn't kick him out immediately.

Just as he finished typing the last page, Conan casually came to the table and read the thick stack of scripts. The title on the cover is "Itarou's Patrol—The Phantom Thief "Edo Boy" Chapter"

 “Kaitou Edo Boy?”

 “Edo” is the old name of Tokyo, but the “Edo boy” here seems to refer to a separate person.

The screenwriter had a good impression of this little kid who was good at flattering people. Seeing Conan's doubts, he explained smoothly: "The name 'Edo Kid' comes from a real-life monster thief. That guy has been quite active recently and has been in the news several times. , he is the source of my script."

"Is that so..." Conan quietly reached out and was about to open the script and read two pages, but at this moment, a hand stretched out from the side, and the financial manager appeared out of nowhere.

 She picked up the script and said to the screenwriter: "Then I will print it first."

 “Go.” The screenwriter pressed the button, took out the disk plugged into the laptop, put it into the box and put it away.

Conan was startled for a moment: "You are still using such an ancient disk?" In modern society, various technologies are coexisting, but the number of people using this kind of disk is gradually decreasing. Unexpectedly, this stylish-looking screenwriter is actually quite retro.

The screenwriter snorted: "The little brat has too much to do. Okay, get out of here and don't delay my rest."

 … Conan is gone.

 Before I left, I quietly brought a booklet from the screenwriter's room.

"Edo boy?" In the corridor, Jiang Xia looked down at the book he brought out, "That strange thief who has appeared in many places across the country?"

 Kinoshita Yoko was a little curious: "Who is that? As for Kaitou, I seem to have only heard of Kaitou Kidd."

 “Kidd is quite famous...” Conan muttered. He lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand and found that it was a collection of newspaper clippings - the screenwriter had collected all the reports about "Edo Boy" and pasted them in this book.

Conan: "About half a year ago, starting from the outskirts of Tokyo, Edo Boy started robbing people all over the country. The police who chased him said that he was like a thief from a period drama, and he could escape by jumping lightly on the roof. , just like he knew how to do light kung fu, but the police couldn't keep up with his speed. So the media gave him the name 'Edo Boy', which has been used to this day - this is also the theme of this filming by the troupe."

Jiang Xia glanced at the stage in the distance: "In a traveling troupe, learning acrobatics and 'light kung fu' is the foundation of one's career. Moreover, this troupe also happens to be touring the country, which is almost the same as the Edo Boys' route... This script is very suitable for them. "

“Indeed. Speaking of the ‘Edo Boys’, we were once investigated by the police as suspects.”

Suddenly a sweet voice came in from the side.

Jiang Xia turned around and looked over, and found that it was the actress who was tumbling on the stage before.

Yuri Shirai has short, smooth and fluffy hair, with a bow ribbon wrapped around the top of her hair. She glanced at Jiang Xia, her face turned red, and her eyes quickly moved away, just in time to bump into Kinoshita Yoko who was looking over.

Looking at this idol, Shirai Lily's face instantly turned redder. She stuttered and said: "Hello, hello! I'm your fan..."

Yoko Kinoshita thought of this actor who was like a wheel on the stage before, and smiled at her: "I didn't expect that I have such great fans."

　　　Shirai Lily’s face turned even redder.

 A fair and tender young woman suddenly looks like a cooked crab. While Jiang Xia lamented that this is what a real star chaser is, he gave clues smoothly: "Do you know the specific content of the script that the screenwriter is writing? Is that what he wants to write himself, or does your young leader want to play this theme?"

Shirai Yuri came back to her senses and thought hard: "It was the screenwriter who said he wanted to write it first. After the team leader found out, he wanted him to change the ending, but the screenwriter never agreed, and the two of them have been in a stalemate until now - as to what exactly it is. The content, they didn’t tell us.”

As she spoke, she sighed: "I just hope they can write the script as soon as possible and have time to practice in advance so that they don't make mistakes during the performance... Alas, in fact, the group leader has always been very easy to talk to and respects us. The screenwriter is usually not so persistent about his script, but I don’t know what happened this time, both of them became so stubborn.”

 …

Yuri Shirai provided the information she knew, got the signature as she wished, and ran back to practice again.

In the corridor that became quiet again, Conan glanced at Jiang Xia and lowered his voice furtively: "What do you think?"
