Chapter 309: The Noisy Finale (Part )
Time passed quickly, and at noon Conan, Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai arrived at the entrance hall, where the sorcerer was waiting for them.
"Sister Patricia, Sister Valletta..." Conan was very sad. If he had not been affected by those drugs, he believed that he would be able to prevent the murderer from committing a second crime.
The sorcerer sighed, "This isn't your fault. Perhaps the fate of the Noisy Circus was already predetermined. Come with me."
The three of them followed the sorcerer, and the gate of the manor was opened. However, outside was not the snowy scenery of the outside world, but a long corridor. This corridor seemed to stretch infinitely, with many doors on both sides, and different symbols painted on the doorplates.
The sorcerer led the three people to one of the doors, opened it and walked in.
There seemed to be several more people in the familiar castle. The priest had left after completing his mission of guiding the way, and the photographer and the Umbrella Soul brothers were also gone. But the remaining few were still there, including the first mate and the cowboy.
At this time, the professor pulled the prophet and the airman to sit on one side of the dining table, the first mate and the cowboy sat on the other side, and the bartender was checking the account book with Fool's Gold.
Seeing the sorcerer returning with three people, the cowboy greeted her: "Patricia, is the first round of experiments over?"
"Well, but you already know the result."
"It's always like this, a girl like her who is supposed to be protected is the first to leave..." The cowboy looked depressed.
The first mate patted the cowboy on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Not everyone is as dedicated as you, Kevin. Don't be so persistent."
"I've already lost my Angelina, so I don't want anyone else to lose their 'Angelina.'" The cowboy took off his hat. "That damned stinking crow, that damned liar."
"That guy is quite good at seeing through people's weaknesses. For something like this to happen, it can only be said that one of them was fooled and led by the nose by such a simple hint." Fool Gold raised his head from the account book and complained.
"You mean, this experiment was conducted by that nightmare?" Conan guessed some information from Oritis and the others.
"Yeah, what do you think those potions are tested on?" Fool Gold put his hands on the table. "And we can't stop these experiments."
"Where did Melodi go?" Amuro Toru frowned. He felt that there was something behind Fool Gold's words. If they couldn't stop such an experiment, it meant that it was the consensus of all Oritis members that the experiment must continue.
The professor sitting nearby said, "Humph, he left a long time ago. Before leaving, he even left this video, saying he had to show it to you. I have a feeling it's not a good thing."
The prophet took the film from the professor, walked up to Toru Amuro and handed it to him.
"Have you recovered from your memory confusion?" Amuro Toru looked at the prophet in front of him.
The prophet smiled and said, "Although I still have constant headaches, my memory is now normal. Before, my memory was like a film that was shuffled, which is why I felt so confused."
The bartender held his forehead and said, "Memory restoration medicine has side effects. Don't let anything happen to you again."
The prophet nodded and sat back in his seat, and signaled Amuro Toru to play the film.
Toru Amuro put the film on the old projector, adjusted the equipment, and then the projector light hit the screen on the wall next to him.
The image above seems to be a corridor in the manor. If you look closely, you can find that this corridor is the road from 1F02 to the greenhouse.
"You installed surveillance cameras in the manor? But there was a power outage that day!" Amuro Toru was stunned, because with his anti-reconnaissance capabilities, he didn't notice such surveillance cameras in the manor.
"The power supply for monitoring and the power supply for the manor are relatively independent, but yesterday's power outage was indeed an accident." Fool Gold tapped the table with his fingers.
The picture on the screen began to play, and a man in black walked to the door of the room with two bottles of perfume. He sprayed a large amount of perfume into the room through the crack in the door.
The view turns to inside the room. Conan, who was sleeping on the sofa, and the wild man, who was sitting on the chair, fell into a coma under the effect of the perfume, and even the candles used for lighting were extinguished.
At this time, the man in black opened the door of the room. Spider, who was originally covered with a quilt on the bed, seemed to feel something, pulled down the quilt and looked at the man in black.
"Sir? Is the show about to start?" Spider struggled to get out of bed and crawled towards the man in black.
The man in black sprayed another perfume, then turned and walked towards the corridor outside.
"No, wait!" Spider stretched out the prosthetic limb that was not sawed off, trying to keep the man in black.
Spider struggled to crawl out of the room. Her already damaged prosthetic limb began to fall off, but she didn't hesitate at all and continued to crawl forward.
"Valletta's performance...is coming soon, Violetta is about to go on stage..."
The prosthetic limbs fell off one by one, and finally Spider was left with only a single forearm. The man in black who was walking in front of her seemed to be waiting for her on purpose and opened the door to the greenhouse in front of her.
The spider crawled forward excitedly until she was completely inside the greenhouse, immersed in a false sense of happiness, and believed that she had stepped onto the stage.
The spider's single prosthetic limb kept making the gestures associated with dancing, and its small body swayed slightly, as if it was dancing a ballet in a dream.
At this time, the man in black opened the door connecting the greenhouse to the outside world and broke several windows. The cold wind rushed in, making the plants in the greenhouse rustle.
"Thank you, thank you everyone!" The spider took the sound as applause from the audience and kept bowing his head to express his gratitude.
Finally, the spider stumbled to the side of the fountain and hugged the golden ball, just like hugging a bouquet handed to it by enthusiastic spectators.
"Valletta's performance... is finished, and Violetta is so happy..."
At the end of the film, the spider hugged the golden ball and slowly closed her eyes. Snowflakes slowly fell on her small body, announcing the end of the show.
After seeing this scene, the man in black hesitated for a moment, then closed the door of the greenhouse and left.
Conan was stunned after watching the video. He had thought that the murderer had dismantled Spider's prosthetic limbs and thrown her into the ice cave to fend for herself, but he didn't expect that Spider was deceived by the illusion and ended up in this dead end.
But even so, the murderer who sprayed the hallucinogenic perfume is still the indirect culprit who killed the spider.
Shuichi Akai and Toru Amuro on the side also felt bad, especially when they saw Spider was frozen to death in such an ironic way after completing that fake performance on the cold "stage".
"Sure enough, he really has a great script," Fool Gold complained. "That little tune is the murderer's motive for killing."
Conan was stunned and immediately flipped through the contents of the tune written in his notebook: "The last child fainted during the quarrel. It must have been a bad joke played by the cursed sun..."
"So the last child is Sister Valletta, and the cursed sun is the perfume." Amuro Toru also understood. "Considering that these five people were once circus performers, one of them thought this was part of the performance, so..."
