Oritis in the world of Detective Conan
Chapter 8 Orpheus and Eurydice
When Conan reacted, he finally saw that the three people who subdued the bandits were Mr. Orpheus and the two guests he saw that day, Mr. Norton and Mr. Frederick.
Before at Delos Manor, I didn’t realize these guys were so good at fighting. They knocked down three vicious bandits in an instant.
"Uncle Orpheus, those people are members of an Italian bandit group." Conan quickly reminded.
Novelist: "I know. After receiving the distress signal from Ou and Little Alice, we immediately called the police."
Composer: "It's alright, little Alice."
Little girl: "I'm fine, Uncle Frederick."
Seeing that the little girl was indeed unharmed, the novelist finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then cast a sinister gaze on the three gangsters.
Novelist: "Gentlemen, Miss Judgment Wine asked me to give you her regards."
The three gangsters' faces suddenly changed. They fell to the ground and begged, "Our boss has been captured. We haven't done anything during this period. Please let us go!"
Novelist: "It's a pity that the lady meant 'reckoning' rather than 'holding accountable'."
Hearing this, the three gangsters collapsed as if they had lost their souls.
After hearing everything, Conan couldn't help but wonder who Miss "Wine of Judgment" was. Of course, the most important point was, did Mr. Orpheus call the little girl "Eurydice" just now?
While going to the police station to take notes, Conan noticed that the little girl was humming a song softly:
"An ominous sign is coming."
"The messenger brings an illusory dream, no one can escape it, no one can indulge in it."
"The Dark Guard guards the realm of the dead, where all hope will eventually cease."
"Persephone, whose courage will you bless?"
"Pluto, who will have mercy on someone in desperate situation?"
"Eurydice, can you cross the border between life and death?"
The song was quite plaintive, and it reminded Conan of the identity card game they had played at Delos Manor, where Mr. Orpheus had just called the little girl "Eurydice." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Alice, is Uncle Orpheus really your father?"
Little girl: "Conan, what are you talking about? Dad is Dad."
Conan: "But he calls you 'Eurydice' and he is 'Orfeo'. You and he are more than just father and daughter."
"It's really not that simple."
Conan looked up hurriedly and saw that the person who had just spoken was the composer who had finished recording.
"Orpheus just went in to take a statement. You still have plenty of time to satisfy your curiosity, little detective."
"What do you mean by 'Orpheus' and 'Eurydice'?"
"Oh, you mean this. 'Orfeo' is Orpheus's pen name. As for the title 'Eurydice', it originally belonged to someone else, the former Mrs. Delos."
"Did Mrs. DeRose have an accident?"
"She's a journalist, a profession that's certainly prone to accidents. She mysteriously disappeared after an in-depth report. Incidentally, Orpheus is a married woman."
Conan suddenly felt like he'd heard something really big: "So, Mrs. Delos unexpectedly disappeared, so Uncle Orpheus considered his daughter a continuation of his wife's, and also called Alice 'Eurydice'?"
"Not only that, Mrs. DeRose's name is Alice DeRose."
Conan:?! What a shocking development! He named his daughter after his wife because he missed her. I suddenly felt like I couldn't look Mr. Orpheus in the face.
[Novelist: Stop, I said stop, is this how you write about Alice and me?]
[Composer: That makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Besides, if you hadn't let it slip, would this have happened?]
[Explorer: Even I think this development is pretty explosive, but it's rare to see you get humiliated, so it feels good.]
[Novelist: Are you still so upset about the three punches I gave you?]
[Novelist: And Alice and I have a pure family and friendship relationship, don't overthink it!]
[Entomologist: Obviously everyone knows the truth, but they just like to read this kind of gossip.]
[Mercenary: It really looks good, and it goes really well with rice.]
[Dream Witch: Wasn't the dream I arranged for you fun?]
[Novelist: It was a very interesting dream, but I hope it won't happen again, Lord Idhela.]
[Acrobat: I declare that Orpheus has suffered the most defeats today!]
[Novelist: Don’t be so boring as to count things like this!]
[Reporter: It's okay, Orpheus, I understand your difficulties.]
[Little girl: Me too, Aoife. We are all here for you.]
[Novelist: I know, I know. (Touched)]
Conan: "So, what about that lady called 'Judgment Wine'? Who is she?"
Composer: "Ms. Demi Bourbon, 'The Judgment Wine,' holds considerable prestige in both the black and white worlds of Italy. Her family is in the wine business, and a bottle of fine wine personally blended by her is priceless."
Conan: Hey, wait a minute, could the Italian friend of Mr. Orpheus that Alice was talking about be this lady?
Conan: "It was mentioned earlier that we would 'settle' those three gangsters. What does that mean?"
Composer: "I don't know about that. I only know that this lady made some big moves recently. However, I'm Austrian and don't know what happened. Besides, I left Europe before the turmoil was over and came to stay with Mr. Orpheus for a while."
"Is Uncle Frederick from Austria? I heard it's a paradise for music. I remember my uncle came here to find inspiration for his compositions. Is it possible that he couldn't find inspiration in a place where music gathers?"
"Unfortunately, a year ago, my family suffered a major tragedy. Almost everyone was killed in a fire. Only my aunt and I escaped. Now I am the current head of the Kreiberg family. My aunt has tried a new career to escape the shadow of the past. I can't find any inspiration in that place filled with sorrow."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Frederick, for bringing back bad memories."
"It doesn't matter. People always have to look forward."
[Novelist: I believe your acting. Everyone in the manor knows how much you hate your family.]
[Bartender: Indeed.]
[Mrs. Red: It's okay, Fred. Your aunt is here with you.]
[Composer: I know, thank you, auntie.]
After a while, the novelist and the explorer also came out of the recording room.
Prospector: "So those maple leaf gold coins are going to be returned to the Bank of Italy?"
Composer: "Of course, it's the bank's lost property."
Novelist: "You wouldn't steal it, would you? That's illegal."
Prospector: "No, I don't have one. I could definitely buy one as a souvenir."
Novelist: "Don't you think you have enough gold, silver and jewelry?"
Prospector: "When it comes to money, you can never have too much."
As Conan listened to the three people chatting, he couldn't help but secretly think about the gains and losses of today. Although he had experienced such a crisis, he gained the friendship of the team, got the solution to the mystery from Mr. Orpheus, and got additional information from Mr. Frederick. It can be said that he had gained a lot, which is gratifying.
