"Ms. Kawabe Souko and Ms. Akiba both possess perfect pitch, and they would easily have noticed the off-tune problem, causing your plan to fail. That's why you prevented them from participating in the performance. Even the organ tuner wasn't spared. Did you do all this just to make Mr. Domoto detonate the bomb himself?"
Pu Hejiang's eyes narrowed slightly behind his glasses, and he blinked more frequently: "Why are you..."
Chi Chufeng, however, interrupted the old musician without any politeness.
Musicians who plot to destroy concert halls do not deserve respect.
"Mr. Domoto gave up the piano and chose the pipe organ, which he was not familiar with. If it were the piano, he would have been able to hear the difference in tone."
"You're probably the only one who knows Mr. Domoto so well, his partner of over thirty years. It wouldn't be difficult for suspicion to fall on you."
"Yes, it really is just me... The only thing I didn't expect was that the Onmyoji would come to watch the rehearsal and even specially invited Reiko over. I had a bad feeling about this just now."
Pu Hejiang lowered his head, his face gloomy, his fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.
"It's all Domoto's fault. Because of his selfishness, after losing my wife and children, even the last bit of my musical career has become meaningless!
"For the past two years, I have been waiting for this day, to get rid of the organ that made him lose his passion for the piano and this Domoto Concert Hall, plus the musicians and music lovers from all over the world who come to listen to organ performances!"
"Just like you said, I agreed to become the curator here because it was the most advantageous way to tamper with the organ and plant bombs. Unfortunately, I still failed because of you in the end!"
Pu and Jiang gritted their teeth and suddenly pulled out a pistol from their pockets, pointing it at themselves: "Lord Akaso, I know you are very powerful, but you would not stop someone who wants to commit suicide. Now I just want to see Domoto one more time."
“Mr. Fuwa,” Akatsukaze said, ignoring the muzzle of the pistol, “why have you never considered that Mr. Domoto might have some kind of hidden reason?”
"What?" Pu and Jiang stopped.
"Isn't that what partners do? If it were me, the first thing I would think about is his difficulties, instead of blaming him for everything."
Chi Chufeng revealed the final truth to Pu and Jiang in their bewildered gazes.
"Do you really consider Mr. Domoto a partner? You've orchestrated so much just to vent your anger, even agreeing to be the director of the Domoto Concert Hall was just to ruin Mr. Domoto. Don't you think Mr. Domoto is being wronged?"
Before the score and craftsman could even open their mouths to refute, Chi Chufeng shook his head and walked away.
"The real reason why Mr. Domoto chose to retire and give up the piano is that your hearing has deteriorated, and you can no longer tune the piano accurately, often resulting in tone deviations."
"Impossible!" Pu Hejiang slumped onto the sofa in disbelief, muttering excitedly, "I have perfect pitch! How could this be..."
The door suddenly opened, and several people walked in.
The one leading them was Mr. Domoto.
He looked at the music and sighed, saying, "Muwa, you're not young anymore. The piano you were in charge of tuning at the Domoto Music Academy was destroyed just before Ms. Kawabe Kanako heard the tone deviation and even sent a text message to Ms. Reiko."
.... .. .......
“I consider you my life partner, so I don’t want to find any other tuners and can only choose other instruments.”
Inspector Megure looked at the stunned and emotionally distraught Fu and Takumi, and stepped forward to take his pistol.
Akatsuka walked over and embraced Akitsubo Reiko.
He suddenly felt something was off and looked down at Conan, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Huh, you don't seem to be reacting much this time," Chi Chufeng asked.
Conan stared at Akatsuki with dead fish eyes.
"Well, I'm used to it. Especially after I heard that Reiko had asked you to do it, I just gave up. I came to listen to your reasoning just to satisfy my curiosity."
Chi Chufeng raised an eyebrow.
Is Detective Conan just giving up?
Conan, however, had a different thought.
He was thinking about a famous quote he had once heard.
If you can't resist, you might as well lie down and enjoy the work.
Chapter 521 Akiba Reiko is Wonderful
"Attention all guests, smoking is strictly prohibited in this concert hall. Please ensure your mobile phones are switched off during the performance..."
Around 5 p.m., the Domoto Concert Hall was bustling with activity as crowds entered the hall, and the audience seats were quickly filled.
Sonoko, Ran, and the others also arrived.
"Wow, there are so many people!" Sonoko exclaimed. "It's packed in no time. Strange, where's Conan? The show's about to start!"
Xiaolan asked worriedly, "I haven't seen him either. Could something have happened to him?"
"Sorry," Conan finally managed to find the terrace, "I accidentally got lost in the hallway."
"No way?" Kogoro Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "You still managed to get lost like this? You did it on purpose, didn't you?!"
"This concert hall has a rather complicated structure, and there are no signs like at the entrance in other places. Uncle, please stop making sarcastic remarks."
Conan glanced at the older man, then sat down in an empty seat in the front row and looked down at the stage.
The performers and singers walked onto the stage one by one, with Akiba Reiko in the very center.
Because Akatsuka Kaze saved the concert hall, and given his own considerable influence, Domoto Ikki could not refuse his request.
Thus, Akiba Reiko got her wish and stepped onto the stage.
As for Pu and Jiang, they have obviously been taken away by the police, and on the surface it seems that nothing has happened.
Conan watched the performance and pursed his lips.
So many things had happened without him realizing it, which reminded him of the practice session at Teitan Elementary School that day. He guessed that Akatsuki probably already knew who the culprit was back then.
What a man who makes even the greatest detective despair!
At 5 o'clock sharp, the concert began. Unlike the rehearsal, there were no off-key notes this time, and the atmosphere was much more engaging. There is a real difference between having an audience and not having one.
As Akatsuka Kaze listened to Akiba Reiko's singing, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
He listened to that beautiful voice for a long time yesterday.
Its profoundness is something that Akachu Kaze also deeply appreciates.
Overall, it was absolutely wonderful.
Moreover, he can listen to it anytime he wants from now on.
Thinking of this, Chi Chufeng was very satisfied.
A few days later, Chi Chufeng received a strange request, which turned out to be from Kaito Kid.
Although the details of the commission were explained above, Chi Chufeng still decided to go and ask in person.
Anyway, he already knew the kid's true identity.
7:00 PM, Blue Parrot Bar.
There were no customers in the bar. Kaito Kuroba and Kinosuke Terai were discussing something at the bar.
jingle.
The brass bell at the door rang, signaling that someone had entered.
The two turned their heads and saw Chi Chufeng.
Kaito Kuroba's body stiffened instantly.
"Why did you decide to commission me?" Chi Chufeng asked bluntly.
He knew my identity as expected.
Kaito Kuroba quickly flashed a warm smile, which even looked somewhat obsequious.
"Lord Chichu, why have you come in person? I was just about to visit you to discuss the matter I entrusted to you."
"Just say what you want to say, and I'll see if it's worth it." Chi Chufeng was too lazy to waste words with him.
Kaito Kuroba quickly replied, "Actually, I asked you to do this because the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department recently received a notice from Kaito Kid, but I didn't send that notice."
Behind the bar, Terai Kinosuke handed over a glass of whiskey and continued, "Actually, there have been people who impersonated Kaito Kid before, sending people to steal their jewels to commit insurance fraud and market their own products..."
"However, this imposter Kid seems a little different, young master."
Kaito Kuroba took a sip of his drink from the bar and said, "This time, the person impersonating Kaito Kid not only sent a warning letter to the police, but also sent an invitation to Aoko."
"That silly girl clearly didn't participate in the lottery, yet she received an invitation from that place. It's really suspicious."
"So I suspect it was a trap set by someone targeting Kaito Kid, and they accidentally sent the invitation to Aoko."
Akatsuka nodded, indicating that she understood the meaning behind Kuroba Kaito's words.
This suggests that the person impersonating Kaito Kid likely knew that Kaito Kid's true identity was Kuroba Kaito.
“I’m a little worried; it might be a conspiracy by that organization,” Kaito Kuroba said.
"You mean animal tissue?" Chi Chufeng asked casually.
Kaito Kuroba's eyes lit up; the Onmyoji really did know everything.
2.8 "Yes, that's right. This organization was responsible for my father's death. They were searching for Pandora, the Stone of Life, and my father was killed because he interfered with their plans."
"I'm worried that this is a trap set by animal rights organizations, and it's very likely a test for me."
“But if I refuse the invitation, those people might do something even more despicable, and I don’t want Aoko to get hurt, so I’ve agreed to go to that place with Aoko.”
Chi Chufeng nodded, understanding the reason for the request.
