Chapter 207 The Movie Theater is About to Close
"Please keep quiet, okay? You're disturbing me. I can't concentrate on watching the movie." The man frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Besides, you'll cause trouble to others by doing this."

"I am sorry!"

"Really sorry!"

After being criticized, Yuantai and the other two immediately lowered their heads and said guiltily.

"You guys are finally being criticized." Ze Yu had a smile on his face: "I thought that there were so few people in this cinema that no one would pay attention to you."

"What?" Ayumi pouted unhappily and said sullenly, "Xiaoyu, are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"

"Of course not." Ze Yu shrugged.

Conan also spoke up and accused them: "You didn't watch the movie quietly, you made a lot of noise, and you were criticized. Isn't that normal?"

Ayumi and the other two were very unhappy when they heard this, but they were in the wrong and couldn't find any reason to argue, so they could only sit quietly and sulk alone.

"But, come to think of it, don't you find it strange?" Haibara Ai looked at the surrounding environment. As far as her sight could reach, there was no human figure at all.

There are really too few people here.

"Except for us, there are almost no people in this cinema. Isn't it too deserted?" Huibara Ai said thoughtfully.

"Maybe it's because today is the school anniversary of Teitan Elementary School, not a holiday, so there are fewer customers?" Mitsuhiko guessed.

"But today's movie is not an old movie that is played on loop, but a new movie. It is very fresh. Logically, even if today is not a holiday, there should be a lot of people coming to watch it, right?" Conan retorted: "There are too few people here. It's very abnormal."

"Maybe there are other reasons." Ayumi seemed to remember something and said worriedly: "My father told me before that there are always quarrels in this cinema, so I can't come here."

"Oh, by the way, my mother said something similar!" Yuan Tai exclaimed, "She also told me not to come here."

Hiroki, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Maybe someone is spreading rumors?"

"Maybe." Conan nodded and looked at the surrounding environment curiously.

He is a detective after all. Haibara Ai saw only a few guests, while Conan's observation was more careful.

He found something strange.

"This cinema is really messy. There are ladders everywhere, and ropes and cables are scattered on the floor. Is it going to be renovated?"

Conan wondered.

…………

An hour later...

The movie is over.

Everyone walked out of the cinema. Yuantai and his friends had just finished watching a movie. They were feeling a little excited and kept discussing the plot of the movie.

"Now that the movie is over, can we go play football?" Conan asked tentatively.

"That won't do." Ayumi said with a smile, "There are two more movies to watch next, and they are also Godzilla's movies."

"What?" Conan blinked blankly.

Two more movies to watch next?
He just watched a movie, but he felt a little tortured. Is there something else?

Conan sighed helplessly. He could only accept his fate.

"Let's go buy some popcorn before the second movie starts!" Ayumi said happily, and led everyone to the front desk of the cinema. "Big sister, we want to buy three servings of popcorn!"

Arriving at the front desk, Ayumi said loudly.

"Here, three Cokes, two cups of coffee, and five servings of popcorn." The lady at the front desk maintained a kind smile.

"But, isn't this too much? We only need three servings of popcorn." Yuan Tai asked in confusion.

"It's okay. Just think of this as a treat from me, your elder sister." The lady at the front desk said a little sadly, "You guys come here often to watch movies, and you are our last guests. This is a small token of my appreciation."

"The last guest?"

Ayumi blinked in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand what she meant.

Huiyuan Ai suddenly asked: "Is this cinema going to close?"

The receptionist smiled helplessly and said nothing, which was taken as her agreement.

"That's right." A white-haired old man came over, leaning on a cane, and said, "After today, we will close."

"This cinema has been open for 30 years. It's time for it to close." The old man felt helpless when he said this.

He is the owner of this cinema. It seems that he wants to save the cinema, but he is powerless as it is about to close.

I can only feel sad alone.

"So that's how it is. No wonder there are ropes everywhere in the cinema." Conan suddenly realized.

"It's a bit of a pity." Hiroki shook his head and said with some regret.

It was the first time for him to come here with his friends to watch a movie, so logically, this place should have become a fond memory for him.

As a result, this cinema is going to close?
What a pity.

"I'm so sorry." The old man said apologetically, "This is because the workers have started working. I'm sorry that you have a bad experience."

"It's okay." Seeing the old man's serious attitude, Ayumi and the others said a little embarrassedly.

"Really? We're closing tomorrow anyway." The receptionist held her face with her palms, and her tone was slightly uncomfortable: "Can't we just wait until tomorrow to start work?"

She was not targeting the director of the cinema, but some people who were eager to demolish the cinema.

The cinema had not even closed yet, but the other party hired workers and started dismantling their cinema one day in advance. This behavior was really excessive.

Both the director of the cinema and the lady at the front desk were very angry about this.

"Wait until tomorrow to start construction? That won't work." A ferocious-looking man suddenly appeared, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and said in a bad tone, "I am very kind to allow you to open until today and close tomorrow."

"If it weren't for the boss's order, I would have torn down your shabby movie theater a long time ago. Do you still want to take advantage of me? You're just dreaming!"

"Mr. Zhang Tian." The elderly dean turned around and looked at the other person with narrowed eyes.

He was holding back his anger.

"Oh? Are you unhappy to see me coming?" The fierce-looking Mr. Zhang Tian raised his lips, tutted, and laughed loudly: "By the way, your business today is really quiet!"

"The movie you are showing today is Godzilla, right? If Godzilla can help me demolish this cinema, I think I will be very happy."
