The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

As for the content of her private lessons, it is naturally related to Matsumoto Sayuri's profession.

"30 times?"

Matsumoto Sayuri murmured, sounding somewhat incredulous.

"This is already the best possible condition I've given."

Izuki Karuta used a feigned retreat to advance: "If Miss Matsumoto is unwilling, I will not force her..."

"I agree!" Matsumoto Sayuri interrupted, "I agree to your request!"

"But we can't leave any trace of what happened to Toshihiko Takasugi, and we can't implicate anyone."

"Mr. Yizhu, can you do it?"

After all, this involves human lives.

On her way here, Matsumoto Sayuri had already planned that she would have to pay a heavy price.

In addition, she had a certain degree of confidence in her appearance, and also needed to cooperate with the somewhat strange ritual that Izuki Karuta had performed before.

Matsumoto Sayuri guessed that Itake Karuta would likely make a request for a year or two.

I didn't expect it would just be asking her to provide 30 private music lessons.

This has far exceeded Matsumoto Sayuri's expectations.

"Don't worry, Takasugi Toshihiko will disappear without a trace."

"We will absolutely not let a word of this slip out, nor will we leave any clues that could possibly involve the Matsumoto family."

Izuki Qingtian spoke calmly, as if everything was under control and such a trivial matter was not worth mentioning.

"Okay, then it's a deal!"

Matsumoto Sayuri whispered in Itake Karuta's ear:

"I will keep my promise once I have finished dealing with Toshihiko Takasugi's matter."

After saying that, Matsumoto Sayuri was about to get up.

Izuki Shigeta grabbed her arm: "I always keep my word."

"If Miss Matsumoto doesn't trust me or doubts my abilities, she is free to leave and cancel this transaction."

"Otherwise, Ms. Matsumoto, please demonstrate your sincerity in this transaction and your own capabilities."

Matsumoto Sayuri hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded:

"So... what kind of exclusive service would Mr. Yizhu like today?"

Previously, Matsumoto Sayuri might have had some doubts.

However, after the wedding incident, he was completely convinced that Izuki Karuta had extraordinary abilities.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have dressed up so carefully and come here today.

Izuki Karuta said expectantly:

"Since Ms. Matsumoto is a vocal teacher, why don't you play a tune on the recorder first?"

That's a perfect match for my major. In Japan, people start learning the recorder from elementary school, so it's practically a basic musical instrument for everyone.

Izuki Karuta is not from Japan and has never learned to play the recorder, so she wants to learn from Matsumoto Sayuri to cultivate her musical talent.

After all, many skills are not overwhelming.

Matsumoto Sayuri nodded obediently, took out a long recorder, held it with both hands, and began to play.

However, Sayuri Matsumoto has been busy with her wedding recently and hasn't played the recorder for quite some time.

As a result, the first few notes I blew were noticeably clumsy.

But after a short while, Matsumoto Sayuri clearly regained her touch.

The music produced by blowing is pleasant and melodious.

The song "Flowing Years" was played, its tone delicate and smooth.

It made Izuki Karuta feel like she was taking a warm bath, which made her feel happy just listening to it.

After that, Matsumoto Sayuri gradually began to change her tune.

The originally gentle and soothing music rhythm became increasingly intense and passionate.

Izuki Karuta was filled with excitement and completely immersed in the world of music.

Izuki Karuta enjoyed the wonderful experience brought by the music.

While secretly sighing inwardly,

Matsumoto Sayuri is indeed a music teacher with many years of experience.

Their experience, techniques, and skills are all excellent.

Previously, Izuki Karuda had also considered having Ran Mouri play a tune.

Ran Mouri declined, citing that she had forgotten everything.

Since we can't hear Ran Mouri playing,

Then listening to Sayuri Matsumoto's songs is also a good idea.

After about ten minutes, Matsumoto Sayuri played several pieces in a row and was clearly a little tired.

The music started to go out of tune, and the rhythm became a bit chaotic.

"Alright, that's enough bragging."

As Izuki Karuta spoke, he gestured to Matsumoto Sayuri that she could stop.

As a result, Matsumoto Sayuri assumed that Itake Karuta was not satisfied and refused to stop.

If Izumi Karuta's demands cannot be met, then probably no one will be able to help get rid of Takasugi Toshihiko.

Izuki Karuta smiled and gently stroked Matsumoto Sayuri's hair: "No need to rush, the recorder will stop here."

"Next, please, Ms. Matsumoto, sing a song."

"I've long heard that Ms. Matsumoto has a beautiful singing voice, and I hope to have the pleasure of hearing it."

Chapter 42 Harmonious Union and the Phoenix Seeking Its Mate

The song that Izuki Karuta wanted to hear was one that wasn't on this Conan's page.

The song is called "The Phoenix Seeks Its Mate".

This is an old folk song from the hometown of Itake Karuta.

The song celebrates the timeless theme of men and women pursuing love.

Because of its beautiful lyrics and melodies,

Izuki Karuta remembers this song very well.

After selecting the song,

Izuki Karuta first played the koto for Matsumoto Sayuri.

And ask her how she feels.

"A very soothing melody..."

"It's so moving..."

Matsumoto Sayuri closed her eyes, listening intently and feeling deeply.

She never expected that Izuki Karuta's piano skills would be so superb.

Matsumoto Sayuri could clearly feel the incredible gentleness in Itake Karuta's hands as she played the koto.

It was as if his fingers were touching not the strings of a musical instrument, but his lover.

This technique of playing the zither is perfectly suited to the melody of this song.

A beautiful melody flowed from his fingertips, with every rhythm and volume just right.

So much so that Matsumoto Sayuri didn't realize until after the performance that she had become so immersed in the melody played by Itake Karuta that her body was swaying gently to the rhythm.

However, although Izuki Karuda is skilled at playing the koto,

However, this folk song is best performed in collaboration to achieve the best musical effect.

There must be one man and one woman.

We must play the zither and sing aloud;

It needs to have a catchy melody and beautiful lyrics.

If it's a solo performance, it will sound too monotonous and lack depth;

If two men are paired together, the atmosphere will be too intimate, and the same applies to two women.

"Don't be nervous, just slowly feel and experience it."

Yi Zhuqingtian comforted her gently.
