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

"Well." Reiko Akiba turned and walked towards the group of children. The first one to be judged was Genta. Reiko Akiba pointed at Genta and said, "First of all, it's you. Your voice is too loud. You need to learn and cooperate with others." Genta touched his head embarrassedly and smiled when he heard it.

The second one is Mitsuhiko, who was criticized for looking at the profile of Haibara who was standing diagonally in front of him while singing. Although it was true, it was really embarrassing to be pointed out in public.

Haibara was told that her voice was not childish enough, but Ayumi was praised for her voice being on point and full of energy. Then there was the last one, Conan was locked in by a sharp gaze and took a breath.

"The voices of the rest of you are all good. Don't be affected by others. The problem is you!" Reiko Akiba pointed her finger at Conan, and with that look, Conan really shrank back a little timidly.

"Yes." But I still had to listen to her criticism.

"You didn't sing a single note correctly from beginning to end. Did you do that on purpose?" Reiko Akiba had never heard such bad singing technique.

"No, it's not." Conan didn't know what to say, but he still had to refute.

Ayumi immediately protected Conan, "He didn't mean it, Conan is just tone-deaf." Ayumi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and all the children laughed.

Conan couldn't help but complain in his heart, are you really protecting me?

Shiraizumi looked over, a hint of a smile in his eyes. This was no less than social demise, wasn't it? Sonoko, on the other hand, didn't hold back at all. Tears streamed from her laughter, and she couldn't stop slapping her legs. She couldn't hold back her laughter.

"It's terrible. The piano sounds weird too. It keeps getting worse. Maybe it's not tuned regularly." Although Reiko Akita didn't seem to be listening carefully, she could hear what was wrong.

Xiaolan was stunned by her words, "Really? Damn, I didn't even notice."

"It turns out that Reiko Akiba has absolute pitch." Bai Quanyi was a little surprised that Reiko Akiba could immediately notice such a detailed problem in the piano sound.

"Ms. Akiba, do you have absolute pitch?" asked Xiaolan, who was sitting on the piano stool, as Reiko Akiba walked towards the piano.

"Yes, I do." Reiko Akita admitted it straightforwardly.

"What, what is absolute pitch?" asked the little boy who had been standing next to Haibara Ai.

"When you hear a certain sound, you can immediately name it. That's the ability to name notes." Haibara Ai said as she walked towards the piano and looked at Akiba Reiko inquiringly, extending a finger as if preparing to press a key. "It's like this."

Reiko Akiba, who was originally looking at Haibara Ai with her hands on her hips, still had a sharp expression, but she shrugged her hands helplessly, then turned her back, indicating that she didn't mind a demonstration.

Haibara Ai selected a key and pressed it. Almost as soon as the piano sound fell, Akiba Reiko gave the answer, "E5Mi."

Seeing that this was no problem for Akiba Reiko, Haibara Ai pressed two piano keys at the same time. The same thing happened. As soon as the piano sound fell, Akiba Reiko's answer came out, and it was exactly right, "E3 and F5Si and Fa."

"It's amazing. It's all right." Mitsuhiko immediately expressed his admiration, and the other little girl behind him was also very amazed, "That's why you sing so well, right?" It was time for Mitsuhiko to ask a question , Yuan Tai behind him took advantage of his attention and walked over.

After hearing Mitsuhiko's question, Akiba Reiko seemed to be a little embarrassed as she leaned on the table behind her, stretching her legs forward to form a stable triangle with the ground. "Not necessarily. In fact, I don't know if it is necessary to have absolute pitch to be a musician. I was born like this. I have also heard that absolute pitch can be trained and cultivated. I remember that the former piano tuner Mr. Puhe seemed to be like that. Well!" Having said that, Akiba Reiko stood up and said goodbye. "These are the suggestions I can give you. For the rest, you can figure it out yourself." Akiba Reiko said as she walked away.

"Huh?" Ayumi and the others looked disappointed as they watched Reiko Akiba slowly walk away.

"I'll come to see you again when you sing better," said Reiko Akita.

"Are you leaving?" A little boy was reluctant to speak. There were not many opportunities to meet celebrities, so they seemed to need to spend more time together.

"How about showing some demonstrations before we go back?" Haibara Ai suggested.

"I agree." A little girl raised her hand to show that she agreed with Haibara Ai's suggestion. After all, in the past, if you wanted to hear the singing of someone like Akiba Reiko, you had to spend money to go to a music hall.

Reiko Akita had already walked to the middle of the class. She placed a bag there, picked it up, slung it over her shoulder, and looked at the children. "How much do you want to pay me?"

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Reiko Akiba to say such a thing.

"Professional singers won't sing if they don't get paid. Goodbye." Reiko Akita was about to leave, then she rummaged through her bag and found that her thermos was missing.

In the corner of the classroom not far away, Yuantai gave a somewhat obscene smile, "This is it." With his back to everyone, he secretly drank the water from Reiko Akiba's thermos.

"Ah!" Akiba Reiko immediately realized that the missing thermos was taken away by Genta, "Hey, that's my tea!"

At this time, Yuantai finally turned around, holding the thermos cup lid belonging to Reiko Akiba in his hand, with a smug smile on his face, "I'm going to drink it." The next second, he put the tea into his mouth.

"Really?" Reiko Akiba seemed a little helpless. She walked towards Genta and wanted to take the cup back, after all, she had already drunk it.

Who knew that the next second, something shocking happened to everyone. Yuantai screamed, "Ah--" and then his voice quickly became lower. He pinched his neck with a painful expression.

Bai Quanyi's expression changed slightly. He stepped forward to restrain Yuantai, pried open his mouth, and quickly assessed the situation. It wasn't a fatal poison, so he just needed to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

"Genta, what's wrong?" Conan's face also changed drastically and he ran over immediately, as did everyone else.

"Throat, my throat," Yuantai's voice was already hoarse at this moment.

Listening to the noisy and panicked sounds around him, Bai Quanyi stood up and said, "Everyone, don't panic. It's not a big deal."

Baiquanyi said: "Xiaolan, Yuanzi, take Yuanta to the hospital."

Xiaolan and Sonoko nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Quanyi looked at Xiao Ai again and said, "Xiao Ai, you go back alone later. I will accompany Miss Akitaba Reiko to the police station to report the case."

Xiao Ai nodded: "Okay."

……

Shiraizumi Mashi accompanied Reiko Akiba to the Metropolitan Police Department. On the way, she seemed to be in a very low mood.

"What's wrong? Miss Qiu Ting, you look so sad..."

"Yuanta was poisoned because of me, I feel bad."

"Ms. Qiu Ting, please cheer up. You did nothing wrong. The one who is wrong is the one who poisoned you, not you."

"Alas... I always feel that I am an unfortunate person, and those who get close to me will also be infected with misfortune."

"Ms. Qiu Ting, don't say such things." Bai Quanyi boldly grabbed Qiu Ting Lianzi's hand, "Actually, I was negligent. During this time, I will protect you!"

"Protect me? What does that mean?" Reiko Akita was puzzled. She found that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

Shiraizumi Masu said solemnly: "According to my investigation, the criminal attacked Kawabe Souko not to kill her, but to ensure that she could not attend the opening ceremony of the Hondo Music Hall.

Miss Akiba, your tea was poisoned by the prisoner, but it was not fatal. It was obviously done to prevent Miss Akiba from attending the opening ceremony of the Hondo Music Hall.

Now that the criminal's plan has failed, I believe he will continue to attack Miss Akiba and prevent her from attending the opening ceremony of the Hondo Music Hall. I must protect Miss Akiba until the Hondo Music Hall's opening ceremony is over.

"..." Miss Qiuting was moved. She was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She could feel Bai Quanyi's care for her, and this gradually made her like Bai Quanyi.

32. Taken home by Reiko Akiba

Shiraizumi Masushi and Akiba Reiko came to the Metropolitan Police Department together and found Inspector Megure in his office.

"Brother Quan Yi, you brought Reiko Akiba to the police station because you have found evidence proving that she is the murderer." Inspector Megure asked quietly. The police suspected Reiko Akiba.

"No, you misunderstood, Inspector Megure. Akiba Reiko is not the murderer, but the victim. I brought her here to report the case. She was poisoned."

"What?" Megure Jusan was surprised for a moment, and immediately got into work mode.

Megure Jusan sat upright and said to Akita Reiko, "Miss Akita, Brother Quan Yi has already explained your report to the police, but I'd like you to repeat it again."

"I was poisoned and I want to report it to the police."

"Okay, I have some more questions for you."

"Excuse me."

Qiu Ting Lianzi sat down, her face calm and without ripples.

"When did this happen?"

Inspector Megure said.

"Not long ago, I went to Miss Teitan to teach the children to sing. When I was leaving, I found a boy named Genta who had stolen my thermos. After drinking the water in the thermos, he was poisoned and could not speak." Reiko Akiba explained concisely.

"So what's Yuantai's situation now?"

"He was taken to the hospital by his companions."

"Okay, we understand. We will update you on the follow-up situation."

Megure Jusan pressed his hat and said this. Shiraizumi Masu, who was taking notes, put away his pen.

Megure Juzo called Takagi Wataru again and asked him to send the water in the thermos to the forensic department for identification.

However, the results of the test were not available for a while, so Bai Quanyi stayed by Akiba Reiko's side. Although the two did not say anything, Bai Quanyi's company made Akiba Reiko feel much better.

It was almost dark when the forensic examination class came out with the results. The water in the thermos had been added with an irritant drug that would cause the patient to be unable to speak. There was no danger to his life, but he would recover after a few days of rest following treatment.

Bai Quanyi drove Akitaba Reiko home. When they parted, Akitaba Reiko asked Bai Quanyi to stay.

"Officer Bai, didn't you say you would protect me until the concert is over? Why are you leaving now? Who will protect me then?"

"I have no plans to leave. I'll be downstairs, watching for any suspicious individuals approaching your apartment."

"No need, just stay at my house. What better protection can you offer than having you by my side?"

Qiu Ting's tone was calm and gentle, but her beautiful face was still slightly flushed under the street light.

"Miss Qiu Ting, do you mind?"

"What's there to mind? This is your job, isn't it?"

"Good Eighty-six

. "

Since Reiko Akiba said so, Shiraizumi Yi naturally wanted it very much. Being able to live with such a super beauty would be pretty good, even if they did nothing.

Compared to what Xiao Ai said about Reiko Akiba being like a queen, Shiraizumi Yi felt that Reiko Akiba was more like the heroine in a drama with a strong female lead. She was very independent in doing things and dared to think and act.

Reiko Akiba takes Masushi Shiraizumi into the luxury apartment where she lives.

Before Bai Quanyi entered, Qiu Tinglian reminded him, "Officer Bai, please don't misunderstand me. I just don't want to cause you any trouble. That's all."

"I know Miss Qiu Ting is a kind-hearted person. She probably couldn't bear to see me sitting in the cold downstairs. It's nothing, actually. I'm a criminal police officer, and it's common for me to stake out outside."

"come on in."

"Ah."

Reiko Akiba invited Shirazumi Masu to sit down in the living room and poured him a cup of hot water.

"I ordered takeout. Do you want oden?"

"Yeah, food."

Reiko Akiba ordered takeout, put her phone on the table, and went to the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower. If the takeaway arrives, please help me get it."

"Ok."

Baiquanyi responded.

After a while, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the bathroom, which aroused people's imagination.

Girls do take longer to shower than boys. Reiko Akiba came out of the bathroom only after the takeaway arrived. In addition to oden, Reiko Akiba also ordered a large number of bottled beers.

Akiba Reiko didn't treat Shiraizumi Masu as a stranger at all. She was dressed very casually, with sports shorts on the bottom and a thin white vest on the top. Moreover, she was obviously not wearing a bra. Through the vest, you could vaguely see the cherry red color.

She has a pretty face, long wavy hair, a proud figure, and a faint scent of shower gel and a woman's unique body fragrance. This is what a beauty looks like after coming out of the bath.

Reiko Akiba sat down opposite Shiraizumi Masaru, opened the takeout box, and started eating oden.

"Officer Bai, why are you just looking at me? Hurry up and eat."

"Sorry... To be honest, Miss Qiuting is so beautiful that I'm at a loss as to what to do."

Baiquanyi smiled bitterly. Akiba Reiko was so beautiful, and with her so close to him, he was truly at a loss.

33. Next, do you know what to do?

"You said that your obsession with me is just my appearance?"

Reiko Akiba was confident in her beauty and had many suitors, but she rejected them all. One reason was that she was still immersed in the grief of her fiancé's death, and the other was that she really hadn't met the right one.

"Of course it's more than that. I also admire and love your voice and your personality. Honestly, it feels like a dream to be able to eat with my idol like this."

Reiko Akitani smiled lightly and didn't say much.

He opened a can of beer and handed it to Bai Quanyi: "Bai Quanyi, come on, have a drink. Don't tell me you don't drink."

"I don't mind. I'm just worried that drinking will affect your voice."

"It's just beer, it's okay."

The two of them ate oden and drank heartily. After finishing the oden, the only thing left was drinking. Before they knew it, they were both drunk. Of course, Akiba Reiko was really a little drunk, and as for Shiraizumi Mashi, after drinking so much, he had to look a little drunk, otherwise the atmosphere would be ruined.

With a "bang", Reiko Akiba fell on the table, drowsy.
