Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Vermouth smiled and declined, "No, don't disturb them."

Maori Kogoro quickly said: "No, no, Conan and I are here because of their invitation."

Vermouth said, "Really? Detective Maori is really very proud."

"Ahahahaha..." Kogoro Mouri enjoyed the flattery from Vermouth very much.

Tamonsuke and Renka met Mouri Kogoro while he was investigating a case. Mouri Kogoro helped a lot (of course it was Conan's credit). Tamonsuke and Renka were very grateful to Mouri Kogoro and became friends.

one . ...

When everyone arrived at Kinmaru-za, they saw Tamonsuke and Renka. Tamonsuke was a young man about 20 years old. He was very handsome and wore a green short coat.

Renhua is a young beauty, especially now wearing a kimono and makeup, she looks like a princess of a daimyo from the Warring States period.

The two of them standing together are a perfect match made in heaven.

"Welcome to our place. I'm really sorry to bother you with coming all the way here."

After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Tamonsuke said with a smile.

"Conan."

At this moment, a little girl ran over and ran to Conan happily. Conan also smiled and said, "Hello, Huimei."

Ito Emi is Ito Tamonsuke's younger sister. Like Conan, she is in the first grade of elementary school.

She is a cute little girl and Conan's girlfriend.

"Conan, I'm so happy to see you." Ito Emi gave Conan a kiss upon meeting him.

"Haha... I didn't expect that you, Conan, also have a girlfriend." Baiquan Yi laughed. He was obviously a sixteen-year-old high school student, but he was trying to flirt with a first-grade elementary school student. How shameless.

"Oh, no, she insisted on coming over here." Conan smiled bitterly.

"What do you mean I have to come over here? Conan, you clearly accepted my confession and are my serious boyfriend." Ito Emi said angrily.

"I was forced, okay? If I didn't agree to you, you would cry non-stop, and I had no choice but to accept it." Conan was speechless.

"I don't care. Anyway, we are lovers. If you dare to...

I, I will never forgive you." Ito Emi said.

Hearing Ito Emi's speech, everyone couldn't help but laugh, wondering how children nowadays mature so early.

Chapter 26 Kataoka Renka is targeted

The little girl looked around as if she was looking for someone, so Conan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta didn't come today?"

Ito Emi said.

"They, they all have something to do and can't come."

Conan laughed.

"That's great, Emi is so happy. She can spend some time alone with Conan."

Ito Emi held Conan's hand and said happily.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Ito Tamonsuke smiled and looked at the two little guys, then made a gesture of invitation to the guests.

Everyone followed them to the door of an old building. Ito Tamonsuke opened the door and turned to Maori Kogoro and the others and said, "This is the entrance to the tea room, so be careful with your head."

Bai Quanyi took a look and saw that the door was very low, and an adult had to lower his head to walk in.

"excuse me."

Kogoro Mouri bent over and was the first to walk in.

Everyone followed in one after another, and after passing through several doorways, they arrived at a spacious stage hall. At this time, there were some people on the stage practicing for today's performance.

Tamanosuke introduced the place to everyone as he walked. He said, "We are still preparing for the performance, so it's a bit messy."

Tamonsuke and Renka, both of them are important roles in Kinkunra Kabuki.

"Looks good!"

Curacao looked around in amazement. It was her first time in such a place.

Vermouth also found it interesting.

"Just in time, the stage is confirming the timing for the lift to go up and down."

Tamanosuke laughed.

"Lift platform?"

Everyone turned around and saw a platform with a man dressed as a warrior squatting on it. He slowly rose from the ground to the stage.

"That was several people pushing it up from the bottom together."

Lianhua explained with a smile.

There are very few electric lifts nowadays. Usually there are a few people gathered below, pushing the platform up.

"Then there will be actors who will emerge from there to create the climax of the drama."

"The stage is moving." Suddenly, Curacao said in surprise.

Following her gaze, she could see that the stage where the man dressed as a samurai was standing was slowly rotating.

“That’s a revolving stage.”

Lianhua smiled and said, "It's also turned by someone pushing from below."

"It's all done in the traditional way, except the part under the stage is called Naraku."

Tamanosuke said: "That's because the drainage down there wasn't very good before, and the backstage staff had a hard time, so they took the name Naraku, which means hell."

Bai Quanyi nodded secretly. He knew this kind of Naraku. There was nothing under the stage. There was a large space with a mechanism installed underneath, which needed people to push it. This was a very traditional way of operation.

"That passage over there is called the Flower Road."

Ito Emi pointed to a passage nearby and said happily, "The actors all go from the small room inside through the audience area to the stage to prepare for their performances.

Bai Quanyi also saw that there was a small room next to the path called Flower Road.

"There's a cutout in the middle. It's like the elevator on the stage, a device that rises from the bottom up."

While Tamonsuke was speaking, Shiraizumi Mashi also saw the so-called "Ryūki" point he mentioned.

It's a bit like the door of the basement entrance, square. I think there's a mechanism installed inside so it can be opened to both sides, and then when someone pushes it, a stage rises from below.

In fact, it is similar to a lift.

"Then, right above the flower path, there's a device that looks like a crane. It's a hanging rod, and the actors are suspended by it to perform in mid-air."

Ito Tamonsuke continued.

Bai Quanyi looked up and saw several things that looked like hooks on the beams above him.

"The ceiling is made of bamboo woven into a lattice, so you can create effects like falling snow or cherry blossoms."

Vermouth watched all this and said, "It feels like I've returned to ancient Japan."

"That's right." Curacao nodded in agreement.

The entire stage hall is indeed very retro, with many old lanterns hanging overhead, which looks very distinctive.

"It's been 100 years. Actually, this Kinmaru-za was built with the approval of the shogunate near the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, during the Tenpo period."

Ito Tamonsuke smiled and said, "It is also the oldest existing stage theater in Japan."

“It is a great honor for actors to be able to perform here.”

Lianhua said.

"I heard that today's performance is a period drama based on the Phantom of the Opera, right?"

Bai Quanyi asked.

"Yes, set against the backdrop of this gorgeous theater, this thriller is about a mysterious eccentric man who hides his ugliness behind a mask, a pitiful singer, and her lover. It's a thriller filled with the intricate intertwining of love and hatred between these three."

Tamanosuke said, "Today is not an opera, but a performance of the Kinkunro Theater Weirdos."

“I’m looking forward to seeing it soon.”

"Okay, you guys take a break first, I'll be back soon."

After Ito Tamonsuke finished his introduction, he turned and left.

When he came back, there were a few more people here.

At this moment, a handsome young man in a white suit strode over. Seeing him, Bai Quanyi asked curiously in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

"He's Mr. Rausu Tatsuhiko, who came here specifically to support our performance. He's also a sponsor."

"Is that the Kansai Rausu Group?"

Maori Kogoro suddenly said at this time: "I seem to remember reading in the newspaper that their president passed away, and his young son has just been confirmed as the heir."

Seeing that the other party was approaching, Kogoro Mouri stopped talking.

What everyone didn't expect was that this young heir to the consortium seemed to ignore everyone and walked straight up to Gangpian Lianhua, saying with a smile, "Come on, Lianhua."

"Don't forget that I, Rausu Tatsuhiko, am here to cheer you on."

"Thank you."

After hearing what Rausu Tatsuhiko said, Gangkata Renka tilted her head slightly and said, "However, I will only play a small role in this performance."

"That's the problem. No matter how I think about it, I feel like you should be the main singer."

After saying this, Rausu Tatsuhiko smiled and said, "I think we should just change it."

"Mr. Rausu."

Ito Tamonsuke walked up to him, looked him in the eyes, and said, "Only I, the seat leader, can decide who plays which role, not you, the sponsor."

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with a hint of hostility. Rausu Tatsuhiko smiled and said, "It's not a weirdo who decides, is it?"

"That's absolutely true."

There was no smile on Ito Tamonsuke's face.

“It’s definitely not something that the public demands.”

Rausu Tatsuhiko said.

"of course."

"Never mind. I just wanted to see my childhood sweetheart dressed up for the stage."

A relaxed smile suddenly appeared on Rausu Tatsuhiko's face, and he pointed at Renhua beside him and said.

"Can you please not be so depressed sometimes, Tamanosuke-nii?"

Rausu Tatsuhiko smiled and said, "That's how I feel about Renhua. You like him, right?"

"Mr. Rausu."

Renhua obviously didn't expect him to say this suddenly, and her face suddenly blushed. Yunosuke lowered his head and didn't say anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When everyone saw this, they understood.

It turns out that this is a love triangle, two men like the same woman at the same time, and they are rivals.

No wonder there was such a strong atmosphere of tension between Tamonsuke and Rausu Tatsuhiko just now.

"If you keep dragging your feet, I'll snatch her away from you, hahaha..."

Rausu Tatsuhiko didn't know whether he was joking or serious. After saying this to Tamonsuke, he laughed and left.

"I have no objection, Captain."
