The school leaders of Beika University, Uncle Mouri's alma mater, had nothing better to do than to gather and discuss holding a "Campus Festival" to enrich the students' extracurricular lives and to expand the business of the school leaders' relatives who ran convenience stores on campus. This was to give the students something to do,
so they wouldn't just be idle, falling in love and having babies instead of studying hard. Of course, their reasons were very high-sounding; they claimed to be contributing to Japan's population control! And Mu Tianyuan, upon Uncle Mouri's invitation to see beautiful female university students, thought for zero point one second...
...and then cheerfully decided to go along. Of course, Mu Tianyuan's reason was also very high-sounding; he stated that he was going to solve the problem of single female university students, and ideally make his own humble contribution to Japan's booming population.
Clearly, this guy was completely... at odds with the school leaders' dying wish... no, their desire. Conan, on the other hand... wanted to go, but because he had already agreed with his friends the day before to go to the park to do something big—hide-and-seek—Conan ultimately refused Uncle Mouri and Ran's invitation in order to be an honest person who kept his word. Well, to be precise, it was Ran's invitation.
Anyway... Uncle Mouri was quite happy when he heard Conan couldn't go... Originally, Mu Tianyuan thought he wouldn't see Conan, but to his surprise, when Ran dragged him to Beika University Theater to watch a stage play, he actually ran into Conan. Not only Conan, but all the members of the Junior Detective League were there too! As the stage play,
adapted from a recent kidnapping case of a beautiful girl, was being performed, Ran noticed a constantly swaying actor and asked strangely: "Dad, Xiaomu, do you... think that actor on stage is a bit strange?"
Sitting to Ran's left and right, Mu Tianyuan and Uncle Mouri were each chatting up beautiful female university students sitting on their other side. However, their styles were completely different. Mu Tianyuan was suavely striking up conversations, making the girls he was talking to giggle, while Uncle Mouri was like a pervert,
constantly boasting that he was a famous detective, which scared the girl he was talking to pale. If Uncle Mouri hadn't done anything else, that girl would have definitely... called the police...! Although Mu Tianyuan was successfully chatting up a girl, unlike Uncle Mouri, who was completely lost in beauty, he could still hear Ran's words. He immediately gave an apologetic smile to the girl he was talking to, then turned to Ran and said: "Ran, you said... uh, uh... Uncle Mouri should be fine, right?"
Mu Tianyuan asked this for a reason, because the pervert Uncle Mouri had just been elbowed in the head by his precious daughter... "He's fine." Ran slowly retracted her hand, then smiled at Mu Tianyuan. Then Ran repeated her earlier question. Mu Tianyuan looked sympathetically at Uncle Mouri, who was holding his head, then quickly said to Ran: "Hmm, you're right. I always felt that actor was swaying. Could he have gotten drunk before coming?"
"I don't know, and their lines aren't smooth at all." Ran said, frowning at the actors on stage. These actors are so unprofessional! You're performing, at least memorize your lines! You're making us, the audience, lose immersion! Mu Tianyuan carefully watched the actors on stage, then also muttered: "Yeah, could they have been pulled onto stage at the last minute? Their lines feel a bit disjointed, and some parts even seem to be skipped."
Just as Mu Tianyuan finished speaking, the already swaying actor on stage suddenly swayed even more violently. The amplitude was completely unlike that of a normal person! At that moment, Mu Tianyuan and the audience were all dumbfounded.
Are they performing contortion here?! Otherwise, how could this actor keep transforming into different shapes and positions?! Just as Mu Tianyuan and the others were mesmerized by the actor's incredible swaying and were about to applaud, the actor finally messed up. Under everyone's gaze, after the actor made three distinct sounds,
he thudded onto the ground. This fall wasn't minor; this "contortionist" directly broke into three pieces! Seeing this situation, Mu Tianyuan subconsciously thought of an animal from a mobile game he played. He exclaimed in surprise: "Holy cow, these are the Kamaitachi Brothers!"
After saying this, Mu Tianyuan looked at the Kamaitachi Brothers who had messed up on stage: "Ran, look! Aren't those Conan and his friends?!"
"Uh uh, yes... But how did Conan and the others get up there?"
Because of the fall, the Kamaitachi Brothers' disguise, which was Conan's sunglasses and beard, fell off. Ran also recognized the true identities of the Kamaitachi Brothers on stage. Ran was immediately dumbfounded. Didn't Conan say he was going to play hide-and-seek with his two younger brothers? Why did he end up performing here? Amidst the laughter of the audience, the Kamaitachi Brothers and the actor performing opposite them no longer cared that the show wasn't over and scurried off stage in a mess.
And in their performance, there was an important prop: the head of a little girl, wide-eyed and staring, in a bag. Now that the Kamaitachi Brothers and the other actor had run off, the little girl's head, which had been left on stage, suddenly whooshed up and hopped. Then, carrying the bag she was in, she also ran backstage! To be honest, this scene looked genuinely creepy, but seeing the little girl's stumbling appearance, the audience, after a second of silence, all uncharitably laughed. They had no idea that the little girl's head wasn't a prop, and what surprised them even more was that the little girl,
who had already been dismembered, could actually run by herself! Look at those little legs scurrying, running so fast! Other audience members might not recognize the owner of this head, but Mu Tianyuan and the little fox, who had just woken up from the commotion, immediately recognized who the owner of this bloodied-looking head was: it was Ayumi, the only girl in the Junior Detective League so far! Seeing this, Mu Tianyuan, who was already amused by the performance, immediately pointed at Ayumi, who was running backstage, and said to Ran: "Ran, look, not only are the Kamaitachi Brothers here, but Hiyori is too!"
I knew it! They said Conan, his two younger brothers, and Ayumi were going out together. How could Ayumi be missing from such a prominent event? So she was already on stage! Although Ran didn't know what Mu Tianyuan was talking about, she still couldn't help but laugh uncharitably... By the time Mu Tianyuan and the others found the Kamaitachi Brothers and Hiyori, the four of them were squatting by the theater's back door,
too ashamed to show their faces. Although they were still young, they still knew how embarrassing it was! Because they had utterly ruined someone's performance! Especially since they were also part of the cast... After some questioning, Mu Tianyuan and the others finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that Conan and his friends were playing hide-and-seek nicely when Ayumi accidentally hid in the trunk of a car and was driven away. Coincidentally, Ayumi heard two professional actors rehearsing lines in the car and thought they were bad guys. Then Ayumi found a little girl's head and a pile of money in the car. Ayumi was a child who cared about current events, and she immediately thought of the villain reported in the newspaper recently who kidnapped little girls and cruelly killed them after getting the ransom.
Ayumi was immediately scared stiff. And Conan and his friends, to save Ayumi who had been "delivered to their doorstep," tracked the car that took Ayumi to the back door of Beika University. Then, Conan, who caught up, didn't hesitate to give a "world-class" kick, flipping over one of what he thought was a vicious kidnapper. Originally, this hero-saving-the-beauty scenario was going well, but after the heroics,
Conan and his friends realized they had caused trouble, and huge trouble at that! Because the real kidnappers had just been arrested by Officer Megure and the others, and the "kidnapper" they thought they'd caught was actually... part of the performance! And the one he flipped with a "world-class" kick was just an actor! Originally, Conan and his friends, these irresponsible little rascals, were planning to sneak away, but they were caught by the remaining person.
In the end, because Conan's kick was so hard, the actor was sent to the hospital's infirmary, and the little girl's head prop was broken. Coincidentally, the performance was about to begin, so Conan and the four of them were miserably roped into substituting on stage... After hearing this story of "ordinary people" told by the Junior Detective League, Uncle Mouri, Ran, and Mu Tianyuan's expressions were beyond wonderful. Finally, Uncle Mouri was the first to speak: "You truly are a bunch of troublemakers!"
After saying this, Uncle Mouri conveniently gave Conan's head a "mushroom" (a gentle thump on the head that causes a lump)... Conan: "..."
Damn it, why me?! I admit I messed up this time, but I just wanted to be a hero and save the beauty! "Dad!" Ran, while holding Conan, who was clutching the big lump on his head and looking like a wronged ball, looked helplessly at Uncle Mouri and called out. Then she looked at Conan and said: "Alright, as long as you're all safe."
"Yeah, it's good that you're safe and sound," Mu Tianyuan also said from the side at this moment. However, thinking of that... poor soul who was inexplicably hit in the face by Conan, Mu Tianyuan's mouth twitched twice. Then he muttered with a strange expression: "But that... poor brother who was kicked over by Conan, I wonder if he's alright..."
That's truly an unprovoked disaster! Such a dedicated actor was ruined by Conan. Indeed, nothing good comes from being involved with the Junior Detective League!
