Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 984 Haga Kyosuke's Purpose

"I will be performing this time, and I will be using a Stradivarius violin."

"You may not know about this violin. Ever since this violin came to our house, strange things have been happening one after another."

"What exactly is the situation?" Kogoro Mouri raised an eyebrow, clasped his hands together, and listened attentively.

Before Shira Renki could explain, the door opened and an elderly man with gray hair, but still full of energy, walked in.

After observing his conversation with Shirakawa Renki, Kogoro Mouri also learned the other party's identity.

This is Genzaburo Shitara, the third brother of tonight's protagonist, and the third master of Renki Shitara.

"Lianxi, come out with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"Mr. Mori, I'm sorry, I'll be back in a bit."

"It's okay, go ahead."

Kogoro Mouri answered with a smile until the two disappeared through the door.

Kogoro Mouri composed himself and turned to look at the violin on the table.

According to intelligence, this should be the violin that caused the bloodshed.

He could probably guess why she had called him there without even needing to go through Shira Renki.

This violin, crafted by a renowned Italian master three hundred years ago, seems to be incompatible with the Shiraka family. In the thirty years since it came to the Shiraka family, it has seen four family members, including the father of the target, pass away.

"Let's take this opportunity to meet with that Haga Kyosuke and find out why he hasn't left yet."

That's right, Kogoro Mouri wasn't the real person, but Natsukawa in disguise.

That's why he travels alone.

Before coming, he had already investigated the Shirakawa family, and his understanding of the place was not much less than that of Shirakawa Renki.

The Shitara family home is very large. Because of the death of Shitara Tanjiro, the entire villa where they now live has been converted into a place for the Shitara family to practice music.

Natsukawa saw it as soon as he entered; Haga Kyosuke was on the second floor.

Xia Chuan walked up calmly.

Because the Shitara family didn't know much about Kogoro Mouri, and Natsukawa was only a one-time disguise, they didn't specifically try to emulate Kogoro Mouri in terms of personality and behavior.

Another point is that Mr. Mori is just too abstract, and it's really uncomfortable to learn him.

As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I heard a clear male voice.

Upon entering the lobby, a man was sitting on the windowsill, making a phone call.

Upon seeing a guest arrive, Yuga Kyosuke frowned slightly, quickly said a few words, and hung up the phone.

He was already in a bad mood, and he didn't feel much good about someone breaking in.

"Excuse me, I'm Kogoro Mouri, a detective."

Maori Kogoro?
Yuga Kyosuke's heart skipped a beat.

"Is Mr. Mori Renshi's guest?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kyosuke Haga, I am Renki's uncle, and I am also a professional composer."

Natsukawa laughed heartily, mimicking Kogoro Mouri: "So it's Mr. Kyosuke Haga. I've heard of you before, you're one of the few people in the world with perfect pitch."

"It's nothing."

The two of them chatted one after another.

The story begins with the history of the Shitara family, then moves on to cases handled by Kogoro Mouri, and finally jumps back to the case of Renki Shitara.

During the conversation, Xia Chuan clearly sensed that the other party was trying to get information out of him, wanting to know the purpose of his visit.

As expected, Karasuma Renya must have already informed him, so he was very wary when he learned that the visitor was Natsukawa's friend, Mori Kogoro.

Xia Chuan remained expressionless and continued the conversation normally.

He was also curious as to why the other person, having been notified, still chose to stay at the Shitara family's house. Surely it couldn't be because it was their birthday today?

Or is it related to the death of Tanjiro Shitara?
Among the undercover agents under Karasuma Renya, Haga Kyosuke is the only one who is not impersonating someone else.

If there was something wrong with the cause of death of Tanjiro Shitara back then, then this can be explained.

Natsukawa quickly figured out a line of thought and then explored the connection between the violin and the musicians.

Sure enough, when the topic of violins came up, Kyosuke Haga's smile froze for a moment.

"Oh, Mr. Mori, so you've been here!"

The two were practically spitting out their saliva when Haga Kyosuke didn't even think about pouring water, until Setara Renki came over.

"I apologize for disturbing you, Mr. Yuhe. It was a pleasure chatting with you. I hope to see your performance tonight as well."

"Haha, then see you at the birthday party tonight."

As Kogoro Mouri and his niece came downstairs, Kyosuke Haga immediately became expressionless.

Even with deep hostility.

This applies not only to Kogoro Mouri, but also to Renki Shitara.

"After enduring so many years, I can finally take my revenge."

Yuga Kyosuke muttered to himself.

If his husband hadn't called him to inform him to evacuate, he wouldn't have had a chance to take action.

Speaking of which, he should also thank Kogoro Mouri's friend named Natsukawa.

"But speaking of which, was Kogoro Mouri's sudden visit really because of Renki's request?"

“I need to investigate. If Xia Chuan was involved, it proves that the SD card was not destroyed.”

As an undercover spy, one must be vigilant, especially since the gentleman values ​​the other party highly, and Gin has suffered quite a bit at his hands.

A short while later, the butler, Jin Qu Hongsheng, walked in.

"Butler Tsukumo, what's going on with Kogoro Mouri? Did Renki really call him over?"

Tsukumo Hongsheng was clearly taken aback for a moment, but still nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed Miss Renki's guest, and when we were at the door, I heard Kogoro Mouri say that Miss Renki seemed to have something on her mind."

“Or…” Tsukumo Hongsheng hesitated for a moment, looking at Haga Kyosuke’s young yet weathered face, and said, “Or it might be related to the members of the Shitara family who have died in recent years.”

Yuga Kyosuke's face darkened. "I understand. You can go ahead and get back to work."

"Yes."

Jin Qu Hongsheng left slowly.

"Lianxi, have you discovered something?"

Yuga Kyosuke's face was extremely gloomy. He looked through the window at the two people walking towards the main villa below, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"We need to speed things up. Let's treat today's birthday concert as a farewell dinner for the Shirakawa family."

The 72nd birthday party for Choichiro Shitara was held at 9 p.m.

After a normal dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and wait for nine o'clock.

Natsukawa then followed Renki Shitara back to the practice room.

“This violin seems to be cursed; over the years, one family member after another has died.”

"Two years ago, Sanlang's wife fell from the second floor to the first floor and died. A year ago, my father also fell to his death after leaning against a dilapidated railing."

“This…” Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow and followed her lead, asking, “Then what does this have to do with the violin?”

Shira Renki looked at the violin with worry, saying with a mixture of fear and reluctance, "My father and my third grandmother both played this violin before they died."

"Including the Second Master who died thirty years ago, this zither has now been used to kill three people."
