Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"..."

There's something odd about the atmosphere.

Ran Mouri looked back and forth between Qi Ming and Renya Karasuma with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Qi Ming, do you and Professor Karasuma know each other?"

Sonoko Suzuki leaned close to Qi Ming and asked softly.

Although that's what she said, Sonoko Suzuki was quite clear about it.

This isn't about whether they know each other or not; these two look like enemies!

"Um, I hope you two can still talk things out properly, okay?"

Ran Mouri said to Qi Ming and Renya Karasuma that she was really afraid the two of them would suddenly start fighting here.

"Everyone has misunderstood. Qi Ming and I are not enemies. On the contrary, we may be the only people in the world who can understand each other."

"It's just that we have different ideas."

Seeing everyone rushing forward to speak up for him, Karasuma Renya simply smiled and let it go.

However, these two simple sentences changed everyone's minds.

The clever words spoken by a clever person may seem to mean one thing to someone of average intelligence, but to someone of high intelligence they may mean something else entirely.

Just like Ran Mouri and others now, they think that Karasuma Renya's words meant that he and Qi Ming were friends.

It's just that they had disagreements on some things, which led to their way of communicating.

Conan and Heiji Hattori are now even more certain that Qi Ming and Karasuma Renya are in a relationship.

"Understand? Now you're talking to me about understanding? I'll understand you, my ass."

As for Qi Ming, he was even smarter; he discerned a third meaning.

I'm having so much fun, I just want to play visual novels, come and get me!

Just after Qi Ming said those words, Sonoko Suzuki leaned close to Ran Mouri's ear with a strange expression and whispered something.

"Xiao Lan, have you noticed that Mr. Qi Ming seems a bit... you know what I mean?"

Ran Mouri's expression was also somewhat strange, and she nodded slightly.

"Hmm, I suddenly have some of those feelings too."

If Ran Mouri and the others had heard Qi Ming's words just now, they would have thought that Qi Ming might be angry.

But after Karasuma Renya's explanation, their mindset changed.

Karasuma Renya: We are friends, but we have different views.

Qi Ming: What the hell? Who said you're friends?!

I never expected Mr. Qi Ming to have such an arrogant side.

Karasuma Renya was momentarily taken aback by Qi Ming's profanity, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he glanced at Hattori Heiji and Conan's expressions.

It's definitely easier to talk to smart people.

Qi Ming's words added credibility to his previous statement. Judging from Conan and Hattori Heiji's expressions, they had been completely fooled!

At this moment, Qi Ming also felt something was wrong. The people around him seemed to be looking at him strangely.

"Um, Karasuma-sensei, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"

"This."

Karasuma Renya smiled.

"Actually, I was a little dissatisfied with the last scene of our rehearsal."

"Dissatisfied with the final scene?"

Sonoko Suzuki was taken aback, then squatted down and poked Conan's forehead hard.

"You brat, did you hear me? What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Conan clutched his forehead in pain, utterly speechless.

Didn't Karasuma Renya just say that the last scene didn't matter? Why is he dissatisfied now?

So, the left and right hemispheres are fighting each other, right?

"Suzuki-san has misunderstood."

Karasuma Renya smiled helplessly.

"When we talked about having a fight, we were actually referring to adding a fight scene for the final episode."

"After performing just now, I felt that the enemy soldiers retreated immediately when I appeared on screen, which seemed to lack a bit of visual impact."

Karasuma Renya looked at Qi Ming.

"It just so happens that Qi Ming is here now, so Qi Ming and I thought we'd add a scene between us."

"Yes, scenes with each other!"

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up instantly.

That makes sense. How could a knight's journey to find the princess be smooth sailing?

There must be an Assassin to stand in the way of the knights!

For a moment, Sonoko Suzuki's mind was filled with thoughts. She looked at Qi Ming and said with some excitement:

"Mr. Qi Ming, would you mind helping us perform in the final scene of our official performance tomorrow? Your role is the assassin of the night, who is the opposite of the Black Knight!"

"I have to act, I absolutely have to act."

Qi Ming accepted Suzuki Sonoko's request without hesitation.

Beat him up today, and beat him up again tomorrow, to tell this new blood not to provoke the prison players.

"Let me think about how the rest of the script should be written..."

Just as Sonoko Suzuki was thinking about the action sequences for their fight scene, Qi Ming waved his hand and said directly:

"No need, we'll just try it out on the spot. Besides, I'm an expert in assassination; no one knows more about it than me."

"it is good!"

Ai Haibara felt that something was off about the current situation, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

As an outsider, she always felt that the two of them were talking about different things.

……

When rehearsals resume, there's no need to go through the whole process again; we can just perform the final scene directly.

Ran Mouri took her place again, and the extras and stuntmen also came on stage one after another.

"What are you doing!"

"We've come to kill the princess!"

"Don't try to succeed!"

"They must succeed!"

After a struggle and conversation, the crow feather fell, and Karasuma Renya made a grand entrance.

"Oh no, it's the Black Knight! We're doomed! Run!"

Just like before, the extras removed their armor and fled in disarray.

Now it's Qi Ming's turn to appear.

"Hattori, are you ready?"

Conan took a deep breath and slowly spoke to Heiji Hattori.

"Ah, of course I know."

Heiji Hattori kept his eyes fixed on the stage.

Both of them knew very well that Karasuma Renya wanted to use this opportunity to show Qi Ming his skills!

Where is Mr. Qi Ming?

A few seconds later, Sonoko Suzuki looked at her classmate standing behind the curtain with some confusion.

The latter shook his head; Qi Ming was not here.

Karasuma Renya also looked around with some curiosity.

He originally thought Qi Ming would choose to confront him head-on, but now it seems that's not the case.

呲味——

With a sudden crackling sound of electricity, everyone looked at the white light on the ceiling with puzzled expressions.

Was there a problem with the connection? The light flickered suddenly.

Conan and Heiji Hattori also looked up in confusion, but as screams rang out, they snapped back to reality.

"Eee ...

On the stage, Karasuma Renya lay dead in a pool of blood.

A deep wound can be seen on its neck, and blood is still gushing out!

Beside Karasuma Renya's corpse, Qi Ming's figure had appeared at some point, and from his sleeve, a sharp hidden blade was dripping blood.
