My neighbor's name is Conan

Chapter 764: Akitani Reiko

Domoto Music School.

In a house inside the college, two men were playing together and a woman was listening.

When the music reached its climax, there was a sudden "boom!" explosion.

The people who were practicing outside were startled when they heard the sound, looked towards the house with gray smoke and exclaimed: "Oh my God! What's going on?"

Then the police car arrived with sirens blaring and cordoned off the scene.

After several days of criminal investigation, the police department found that the case was difficult and handed it over to the Metropolitan Police Department.

On this day, the concert hall was completed.

On the stage, the famous musician Domoto Isshige was playing the organ.

Below the stage, several professionals sat in the front row.

Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, Conan, Haibara Ai, and Sayuri were sitting in the middle. Behind them were Suzuki Sonoko, Mori Ran, Mori Kogoro, Dr. Agasa, and Fusae Campbell Kinoshita, all of whom were sitting in their seats and listening attentively.

Behind them, Matsu Aoki, Ayumi Maruta, Rensaburo Shiratori, Miwako Sato, and Wataru Takagi were standing by an entrance.

When Domoto finished playing, the people below applauded.

An old foreign man even stood up and praised: "Great, it's perfect."

"You play really well, Mr. Domoto. It has a completely different charm from the piano." An old man wearing glasses also stood up and said.

Upon hearing this, Domoto turned around and bowed slightly to everyone.

Maori Kogoro looked at the stage and praised: "It's really worthy of Domoto Isshi, what a wonderful performance!"

Mao Lilan looked at the person on the stage and was suddenly surprised and said, "Huh? I've seen this person on TV, the one wearing glasses."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the man and explained to Mao Lilan, "That person is Mr. Fuwa Takumi, who has been Mr. Domoto's exclusive tuner for 35 years. This time he is the director of the Domoto Concert Hall."

Conan looked at Mr. Pu and Takumi with a changed look in his eyes. [That person? I saw that person when I went to the scene yesterday, and he was holding a burnt piano key.]

Suzuki Sonoko looked at the stage and continued, "The German man facing us now is called Hans Mulla, an organ tuner. Although he looks so happy now, I heard that he and Mr. Domoto had a long time to get along with each other. The interpreter on the side is Mr. Domoto's son, who is also a pianist. His name is Xianye, and he is the person in charge of this performance."

"Let's look at the two women next to them." Suzuki Sonoko pointed to the other women next to them and continued, "Those two are Mr. Domoto's disciples. The red-haired lady on the right is the soprano singer Chigusa Lala, who graduated from the 9th class of Domoto Academy. The lady next to her who looks a little neurotic is the violinist Yamane Shion, who graduated from the 8th class of the same academy."

After hearing this, Dr. Agasa subconsciously replied, "Oh, she is the replacement for Kawabe Souko who was injured in the explosion."

Suzuki Sonoko nodded and said, "Yes, yes. When the accident happened, Miss Kawabe's Stradivarius happened to be sent for adjustment and survived, so she lent it to Miss Shion to play. And, the person sitting in the first row of the audience was..."

"It must be the soprano Miss Reiko Akiba!" Mao Lilan replied.

"Haha." Suzuki Sonoko laughed when she heard this: "No wonder you know her, because she is very famous!"

After Suzuki Sonoko finished her introduction, Domoto Isshi on the stage looked up and said to the people around him: "Okay, Shion, get ready!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Gen Zi Yin immediately responded, "Yes!"

Domoto waved and then said, "Let's start with the first Ave Maria."

Yamane Shion replied, “Yes!”

Then Yamane Shion walked to the center of the stage and began to play the Stradivarius.

Unexpectedly, after just a few seconds, Akiba Reiko, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, suddenly sighed and said to Yamane Shion on the stage: "From your condition, it seems that you are not yet able to cooperate with my performance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Yamane Shion subconsciously stopped playing the Stradivarius.

Upon hearing this, Domoto Yihui quickly spoke up to speak up for his apprentice: "Yes, sorry, please wait a moment."

Reiko Akiba shrugged her shoulders upon hearing this, but did not continue.

Instead, Yamane Shion lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Reiko Akiba sat down and continued watching them perform.

Seeing this scene, Takagi Wataru said excitedly: "Sato-san, we can finally hear a live performance of the Stradivarius."

Qing Mu Song looked at Gao Mu Shi and warned in a low voice: "Gao Mu, don't forget why we came here today?"

I'm not here to listen to a concert, I'm here to solve a case.

"Sorry." Takagi Shigeru's face changed and he said with his neck shrunk.

Then, Domoto Issei and Miss Yamane Shion began to play together.

They had just started to play a short piece when Domoto stopped and turned to Yamane Shion and said angrily, "No, no, this is not right at all! What have you been doing this past week?"

Upon hearing this, Yamane Shion lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry."

"Ah?" Suzuki Sonoko blinked and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Mao Lilan also shook her head and said, "I think it's perfect!"

[No, she didn't play the sound that a Stradivarius should have.] Conan thought.

Although Aoki Matsu doesn't understand music, he knows how to judge people!

Conan has absolute pitch.

Looking at Conan’s serious expression, you can tell that there is something wrong with Yamane Shion’s playing of this piano, and it is more likely that she has not brought out all the advantages of this famous piano.

Seeing this, Domoto said seriously: "Start over again!"

Yamane Shion quickly responded, “Yes!”

Play again.

After Yamane Shion had played the zither for a few times, the string suddenly broke and hit her face. Yamane Shion subconsciously closed her eyes and stopped playing.

Maori Kogoro saw this and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Mao Lilan said with a bad look on her face: "It seems that the violin string is broken."

"Sorry, I'll go change the strings right now." After bowing to Domoto, Yamane Shion ran out with the guitar.

At this time, Domoto Genya, who was sitting in the audience, looked at Hansmura next to him and asked, "Mr. Hans, what do you think of the balance of the tone?"

Hansmüller replied: "As for the balance of tones..."

"Really?" Seeing this, Reiko Akiba stood up impatiently and said, "Do I still have a chance to practice singing today?" Then she walked towards the door.

When she reached the door, Qing Musong called her: "Ms. Qiu Ting, sorry to bother you for a moment."

"Can you let me go to the dressing room first?" Reiko Akita said and walked out.

At this time, Maori Kogoro came over and asked directly in a low voice: "Do you have any clues about the suspect of the bombing case?"

Qing Musong shook his head: "I still have no idea."

"Was a plastic bomb really used in the crime?" Kogoro Mouri said with some understanding.

"Yes, we also found a timer," Aoki Matsu replied, "It seems to be set to detonate when the two of them are practicing."

Maori Kogoro had a guess in his mind when he heard this: "So this case is indeed..."

"Uncle Maori, I'm sorry, I can't disclose the progress of the investigation in such a public place." Aoki Matsu shook his head and said.

Those things were no longer secrets and had long been reported by media reporters lurking in the Metropolitan Police Department.

not to mention……

The murderer is still here.

Kogoro Mori was about to ask again, but unexpectedly Aoki Matsu pointed to the side.

Kogoro Mouri also followed his gaze and saw Conan standing next to him.

"Hehe." Conan laughed dryly twice, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being punched by Mouri Kogoro and then chased back.

Maori Kogoro said unhappily: "Go over there and play with those kids."

Because Yamane Shion went to change the strings of her guitar, the ensemble had to be stopped, so Domoto Gen led the curious little ones and Suzuki Sonoko and others to the stage for a visit.

"Wow, it's so big!" Yuantai exclaimed as he looked at the organ in front of him.

"It's not only huge, but also full of beauty." Mitsuhiko agreed.

"It's spectacular, right?" Genya Domoto said with a smile.

Ayumi looked at him and asked, "Excuse me, how does the organ make sound?"

"The principle of its sound production is the same as the recorder you played in school." Domoto Gen also pointed at it. "Look, there are many tubes arranged on it, right? Just like playing a recorder, you send air into those tubes, and then the sound will be produced."

"Is it air?" Ayumi blinked.

"But those tubes don't have holes like the recorders?" Yuan Tai asked.

"That's right. The recorder makes use of fingers to press the holes to produce different pitches of sound." Domoto Gen also walked to the organ and pressed a note. "And the organ makes use of the keyboard to make the corresponding pipe sound, and each pipe can only make one sound."

"Oh." The children below showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

Ayumi then asked, "What are those button-like things?"

"This? This is called a tuning peg. Just pull these buttons and the piano will produce different tones." Domoto Gen also demonstrated. "For example, if I pull this out--"

"It's a small trumpet!" Yuan Tai replied.

Then Domoto Gen also changed another one.

"It's the flute!" said Ayumi.

"Organ players will use these tonal combinations to bring changes to their performances." Domoto Gen continued to popularize science.

……

the other side.

After Reiko Akiba returned here, Matsu Aoki found her.

"Excuse me, Miss Akiba, can I talk to you for a minute?" Aoki Matsu asked.

Akiba Reiko's temper was not particularly good. After being interrupted by Aoki Matsu, she put away the music sheet in her hand, a little unhappy, but still stood up and asked in cooperation: "Really, it shouldn't take too long."

Then he walked aside.

Aoki Matsu looked at Akiba Reiko and asked, "Regarding the text message that Ms. Kawabe Zouko sent you before the explosion, we have a few questions to ask you."

Maruta Ayumi held up a small notebook and said, "'I really can't cooperate with these laymen who can't hear the difference in voice'. Regarding the meaning of this text message..."

At this time Conan crawled over and hid in the back seat to eavesdrop.

"What do you mean?" Akita Reiko said anxiously, "It means exactly what it says. I've said before that I met Ms. Kawabe for the first time at the press conference for this performance. At that time, she told me that she was going to listen to the performances of the two deceased people and would text me her thoughts."

Shiratori Renzaburo continued, "That is to say, the music played by those two people is in a different tune from that played by Miss Kawabe. So she doesn't want to play with those two people who can't tell the difference in the timbre that the musicians want to express, right?"

Akiba Reiko looked at Shiratori Renzaburo, who had some respect for him because he knew something about music, and replied, "That should be it! Why don't you just ask her directly? Hasn't she regained consciousness?"

Miwako Sato replied: "Although she regained consciousness, it may be due to the shock of the explosion. She does not remember the details before and after the incident."

Reiko Akiba was a little surprised when she heard this. "Huh? Is that so?"

Shiratori Renzaburo took out an evidence bag from his pocket and placed it in front of Akita Reiko. "One more thing. This thing fell at the crime scene."

"It's the barrel of a flute!!" Reiko Akiba recognized it at the first sight.

"That's right." Shiratori Renzaburo said, "The head pipe, body pipe, and tail pipe are the body pipe of the flute."

Takagi Wataru looked at Akiba Reiko and said, "It's possible that a student forgot to take it away."

However, Kogoro Mori didn't think this was possible, and said, "How could he forget to bring the barrel?" Things like this must be put together and cannot be placed separately.

After seeing the flute barrel, Akiba Reiko's expression turned a little ugly, and her eyes were a little evasive.

Aoki Matsu looked at her and asked, "Do you know any clues, Miss Qiu Ting?"

"No!" After coming to her senses, Reiko Akiba still showed some resistance to the police: "I don't know, you've asked enough!" After that, she waved and left, returning to her previous seat.

"Ms. Akiba, wait." Takagi Shigeru hurriedly shouted when he saw this scene.

However, Aoki Matsu stopped Takagi Wataru and shook his head at him.

Thanks to watching the movie, when Aoki Matsu saw Reiko Akiba, he instantly remembered the circumstances of the case. Isn't it the twelfth movie version, "The Trembling Score"?

Instead of being a murderer, Akiba Reiko will become a victim.

Aoki Matsu knows who the murderer is, but he needs evidence!

Without evidence, as a criminal, Qing Musong cannot arrest people at random.

So we can only wait and see and act according to the timing.

The time will come soon.

Reiko Akiba returned to her seat, picked up the water bottle from her bag, opened it, poured out some tea, and was about to drink...
