If I had to say whose interests were infringed upon by my performance as a soprano soloist at Friday's world-class concert, it would mainly be one person.
Qiancao Lala is the only one whose interests were harmed because of her performance.
Because she was the original singer before she was chosen as the lead actress.
If she were to be poisoned or lose her voice because of what was in that kettle, then the biggest and most immediate beneficiary would be Chigusa Lala.
In that case, let's cancel the vocal practice sessions at the academy for the next two days and try to stay home as much as possible.
She thought for a moment, then raised her head and said solemnly, "Lord Chichu, may I entrust this to you?"
The day before the concert, two more incidents occurred, both of which were related to Mizuguchi and Rencheng, who had been murdered at the Domoto Music Academy.
First, a gas explosion occurred in a bar, and the bar owner, who was smoking in the gas-filled bar, blew himself up. Then, another person fell from a paraglider and drowned.
The deceased were violinist Osamu Shida and violist Hisao Sone. Like Mizuguchi and Renjo, they were the first graduates of Domoto Gakuin and were a piano quartet until two years ago.
Parts of flutes were found at both crime scenes, and together with the tube from the previous explosion site, they formed a complete flute.
"Based on the current situation, it can be confirmed as a serial murder case,"
Megure nodded to the several Metropolitan Police Department bigwigs from the investigation headquarters next to him, stood up and said, "Logically speaking, now that we have all the flutes, the murder should have ended here. However, we cannot be careless now and must identify the suspect as soon as possible."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, walking home, Akiba Reiko looked at the content on her phone screen, appearing somewhat uneasy.
She was ultimately replaced by Chigusa Lala because she was involved in several cases that the police were investigating.
But that's clearly just an excuse.
Reiko Akiba was extremely unwilling to lose the opportunity to perform on stage.
Just as she was figuring out how to win him back, she suddenly heard the sound of a car behind her.
Judging from the sound, it should be a bulldozer from earthmoving machinery.
Are there any places around here that need earthwork construction? I don't think so.
But if that's the case, how come heavy trucks come here?
Without having time to think about the answer carefully, Akiba Reiko simply moved aside slightly, allowing the bulldozer to pass by her on the narrow road.
but…
"??beep!"
With that long, drawn-out whistle, Akiba Reiko suddenly heard a loud, repeated clattering sound of tracks hitting the ground.
There is no doubt that the other side is accelerating.
"are you crazy?"
Reiko Akiba turned her head in surprise, wanting to see what kind of driver would step on the gas pedal in such a way on such a narrow road with people around.
But all she saw was a driver who had wrapped himself up like a dumpling and was driving a bulldozer toward her.
Even a fool could tell that this was someone with ulterior motives.
Akiba Reiko was shocked and ran forward, crying out in panic, "Lord Akatsuchi, save me!"
Suddenly, everything went dark, and the water around her rippled. She had fallen into someone's arms.
Finding herself in a bathtub and feeling Akagi Kaze's embrace, especially with her face pressed against the man's bare chest, Akiba Reiko couldn't help but feel weak.
She had never been so intimate with a man before, and her heart pounded like a deer.
Chapter 519 Lord Chichu, I'm not ready yet...
Chi Chufeng was also helpless.
He accepted the commission and kept an eye on Akiba Reiko with his spatial eye.
Who knew that while I was lying down to take a bath, without paying much attention, something bad would happen.
Fortunately, he heard the shouts and pulled her over in time.
The water in the bathtub had soaked Akiba Reiko's clothes.
She wasn't wearing much to begin with, and the water made her clothes cling tightly to her body.
As Chi Chufeng looked at it, he couldn't help but be moved.
He began removing Akiba Reiko's clothes to prevent her from catching a cold.
Akiba Reiko struggled weakly, muttering, "No, Lord Akatsuchi, I... I'm not ready..."
Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly as he whispered in her ear, "You don't need to prepare anything, I'll take care of it."
The water in the bathtub gradually began to ripple.
The concert officially began at 5 p.m. on the day of the concert.

The Domoto Concert Hall occupies a considerable area, featuring not only a large, artistic concert hall but also a forest and a lake connected to a canal at the back.
It is said that the owner of the concert hall, Domoto Ikki, often spends his time alone by the quiet pier.
European classical music originates from nature, which is probably why the Domoto Concert Hall is built beside a forest and lake.
A rehearsal was taking place in the concert hall. Domoto Kazuki, Fu, Takumi, and a few others were standing in front of the stage, as if something had happened.
"We still can't find Mr. Murat, who is in charge of organ tuning,"
Domoto Gen said, "He clearly promised to participate in the rehearsal to make some minor adjustments, but now he has disappeared somewhere. He can't be reached by phone. It's really a headache. The hotel where he is staying also said that he did not go back last night."
"Alright, let's not wait for him. Let's get started." Domoto waved his hand to signal everyone to begin preparations, then turned and walked towards the organ stand.
“That’s fine,” Pu and Jiang nodded. “Anyway, there are only some minor adjustments left. Even if he’s not there, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“That’s true,” Genya Domoto said helplessly. “We can’t worry about that now. Calling the police would only waste more time. We can only wait until after the concert.”
The audience lights dimmed, and the rehearsal on stage soon began with the appearance of violinist Shion Yamane and soprano singer Lala Chigusa.
Unlike the piano, the pipe organ is not only large in size, but also has a lot of keys and many draw stops, which allow it to produce a variety of different timbres.
Organists use combinations of timbres to create variations in their playing, making it appear much more complex than playing the piano.
Akatsukaze appeared on the high stands with Akita Reiko in his arms. His gaze lingered on Domoto Ichiki for a moment before turning to Yamane Shion and the other person in front of the stage.
Shion Yamane, who replaced Kanade Kawabe, performed the Stradivarius effect very well, but Lala Chigusa always felt that something was missing; she was indeed not as good as Reiko Akiba.
"Hmm?" Akiba Reiko, who was in his arms, suddenly frowned and turned her gaze from Chigusa Lala and the other person's performance to Domoto Kazuki, who was playing the organ.
"What's wrong?" Chi Chufeng asked.
Reiko Akiba shook her head and said, "There's something wrong with the organ's sound. It sounds like one of the short whistles isn't tuned properly, and the sound is too low."
Chi Chufeng nodded.
He knew perfectly well why; someone had deliberately put something in the sound tube.
However, that thing isn't very harmful, so there's no point in dismantling it.
Chi Chufeng immediately started picking up the bombs.
He is already very skilled at this job.
Before long, they threw all the bombs into the soul space.
The criminals were completely unaware.
The rehearsal appeared to be a great success; there was no perfect pitch, and even Domoto Kazuki couldn't detect the problem.
Next, we wait for the official performance at 5 p.m., when this place will welcome musicians and music fans from all over the world.
Akiba Reiko looked at Akatsuki Kaze, who was pulling her up and leaving, with a confused expression.
“Let’s go, we should uncover the truth of this matter,” Chi Chufeng said. “Such a magnificent concert hall should not be involved in a case, otherwise it would be such a pity.”
Domoto Kazuki's dressing room is on the second floor of the performance hall, and the entire venue can be seen through the surrounding glass windows.
During a break from the rehearsal, Pu and Jiang entered the dressing room and stood by the half-drawn glass window, quietly watching Domoto Ichiki play the organ on stage.
From the beginning of the Ave Maria, including Domoto Kazuki's speech, until the rehearsal ended, Fu and Takumi were about to leave when they saw Akatsuka Kaze appear at the door.
"Lord Chi Chu?" Pu Hejiang recognized Chi Chufeng easily and asked in surprise, "Why did you arrive so early?"
Chi Chufeng didn't answer. He walked to the window, looked down at the stage, and said, "There were 24 off-key moments. Are you trying to destroy this concert hall with Mr. Domoto's own hands?"
"W-what?" Pu Hejiang's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his smile was stiff.
Chapter 520 Unable to resist, might as well lie down and enjoy it.
"Whether it's the Domoto Music Academy or this concert hall, the staff are naturally the ones who have the easiest time to tamper with things."
Chi Chufeng said calmly, "Especially this concert hall. To plant explosives here, one must be familiar with the structure of the concert hall and must be one of the staff members."
"Even ordinary staff members couldn't install sensors inside specific organ pipes to control the detonation of a bomb; they would need to be familiar with both the organ pipes and the repertoire for the performance."
Chi Chufeng turned to face the astonished Pu and Jiang.
“There are 23 pillars on the outside of the concert hall, which means you have planted 24 bombs. The first 23 bombs will destroy the supporting pillars, and the last one will destroy the inside of the concert hall. Every time Mr. Domoto presses the off-key key, the bomb will be detonated. There will be a total of 24 off-key moments.”
"Akachu Kaze's direct gaze at the spectrum - and the craftsman continued."
