Chapter 576 Trap
"Is that so?" Officer Megure frowned and said with a headache: "If the murderer is really that Edo boy, then things will be difficult."

If the murderer is an ordinary person, the police can easily catch him, but if the murderer is a thief, it will not be so easy to arrest him.

It has been half a year since Edo Boy started stealing. He is very agile and has never been caught, and has escaped the police on many occasions.

Although he is not as good as Kaito Kid, Edo Kid is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied.

If the Edo boy had been caught so easily, he wouldn't have survived until now.

Conan was silent for a while. He was a little hesitant about whether he should remind Inspector Megure that the Edo boy was mixed in the troupe at this time.

However, Conan had no evidence, and if he rashly reminded him, it would easily alert the Edo boy and make him vigilant.

If the other party becomes alert, it will not be easy for Conan to find clues.

Thinking of this, Conan gave up the idea of ​​revealing this information so as not to alert the enemy.

He wanted to wait until tonight, sneak into the theater alone, investigate, and collect enough clues.

Once Conan has sufficient evidence, he will use Uncle Maori's identity to tell everyone the truth.

By then, it was not too late for the Edo kid to escape police capture.

Conan had made up his mind and didn't say anything else. He just watched Inspector Megure investigate quietly.

However, the Edo boy cleaned up all the traces left when he killed someone.

Even though the police investigated for two hours and learned a lot of information from the troupe members, there was no result.

At this time, Tamanosuke finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Officer, we have a performance recently, so we have been practicing these days..."

"We don't have much time left..."

"I understand." Inspector Megure nodded with a serious face.

They have been investigating for a long time but have not found any results. If they continue, the results will be the same.

"Then we won't delay your practice." Officer Megure said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tamanosuke, if you have any new discoveries, you must inform the police immediately!"

"Sure." Tamonsuke said firmly.

Officer Megure turned around, looked at his companions, and said, "Let's go."

After that, the police left.

Conan also left quietly.

There are too many people in the theater now, making it inconvenient for him to investigate. He has to wait until night before he can take action.

.........

Late at night, near the theater.

A figure quietly appeared in the darkness and he carefully slipped into the theater.

This figure was none other than the troupe's leader, Tamonsuke. Fearing that he would be discovered, he didn't even dare to make any noise when he walked.

At a corner not far from the theater, there was a little child standing there. She was Tamonsuke's sister, Xiaohui.

Xiao Hui looked at her brother with a worried look on her face, and said to herself: "Brother...why is he here alone so late?"

Xiaohui is a relatively precocious person, which can be seen from the fact that she likes to meddle in her brother's affairs.

Because she was worried that something might happen to her brother, she always kept an eye on him.

Until Tamonsuke got up in the middle of the night and slipped out of the house, Xiaohui secretly followed him.

"What on earth does my brother want to do?" Xiao Hui frowned, her heart full of worry. At this moment, a voice sounded from behind her: "I'm curious too."

Xiaohui turned around in surprise and looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared behind her.

"Conan? Why is it you?" Xiaohui widened her eyes in surprise.

The person who appeared behind her was Conan.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Conan lowered his voice, signaling the other party to lower the tone.

Xiaohui quickly covered her mouth, and her eyes were full of curiosity when she looked at Conan.

"You are worried about your brother, right?" Conan smiled and said, "I am worried about your brother too."

"In short, leave this matter to me, and go home and sleep." Conan said, "Children should not care about too many things."

"Conan, do you want to send me back?" Xiao Hui was a little unhappy and retorted: "Aren't you a child too!"

"I..." Conan looked helpless.

.........

Ten minutes ago, in the theater...

In the pitch-black environment, a figure appeared on the stage. Because she couldn't see anything, she walked slowly with a flashlight.

This figure was not Tamonsuke, nor was it the Edo boy, but the troupe's financial manager, Ogiwara Ieie.

Xijiang was only paying attention to the front and not to her feet. She didn't know that if she took another step forward, she would fall into the abyss.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice sounded behind her: "If you take another step forward, you will die."

"Who?" Hearing a voice behind him, Xi Jiang turned around in surprise and looked at the person who made the voice.

It was a little blond child holding a torch in his hand. The firelight illuminated the surroundings, making his extraordinary face even more beautiful.

"It's you?" Xi Jiang was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Aren't you the kid from this afternoon?"

"Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Speaking of this, Xijiang remembered the scene at noon when Zeyu took out a crossbow and aimed at Jinshi, and suddenly became a little nervous.

"Little friend, you didn't kill Jinshi, did you?" Xijiang said in fear, "Are you here to kill me?"

Although she was an adult, she had no choice but to die when faced with the powerful crossbow arrows.

Xi Jiang knew very well that if the kid opposite him wanted to kill him, he only needed to take out the crossbow he had at noon to kill him easily.

Thinking about what the other party had just said, Xi Jiang became even more frightened and his heart was filled with fear.

[If you take one more step forward, you will die.]

Is this a warning to her?

“Little friend, I…” Xijiang’s face was full of panic. He took a step back and said in fear, “I don’t know anything. Don’t kill me…”

"Stop!" Ze Yu's pupils shrank and he suddenly shouted.

"Okay, I won't move..." Xi Jiang was frightened and his whole body stiffened, not daring to move.

Seeing this, Ze Yu breathed a sigh of relief. A helpless look appeared on his face. He seemed to find it very funny and teased: "Auntie, you don't think I want to do something to you, do you?"
