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

He played the zither again, reciting the melody from the score.

Let Matsumoto Sayuri carefully experience the artistic conception in the music.

At the same time, the meaning of the song was explained so that Matsumoto Sayuri could better understand the emotions it contained.

Sayuri Matsumoto, as expected of a music teacher with many years of experience, possesses considerable musical talent.

In addition, this folk melody is beautiful and has a clear rhythm.

And then there was the patient caress of Izuki Karuta,

Matsumoto Sayuri quickly became completely absorbed in the music.

When Itaru Karuta began to strum the strings with both hands for the fourth time, starting from the top of her head...

Matsumoto Sayuri had already begun to hum softly in rhythm;

The fifth time, Matsumoto Sayuri memorized most of the lyrics and hummed them softly;

On the sixth time, Matsumoto Sayuri completely memorized the melody and lyrics, and hummed them more and more skillfully.

"I think it's time to start formally trying out collaborative performances."

Matsumoto Sayuri looked at Izuki Karuta with bright, expectant eyes.

"Alright, let's begin."

Izuki Karuta nodded.

In their first formal ensemble performance, Sayuri Matsumoto stumbled through her song.

During the second ensemble performance, Matsumoto Sayuri sang much more fluently and was more relaxed.

In their third collaboration, Sayuri Matsumoto was completely in character.

Amidst the beautiful piano melody, Sayuri Matsumoto burst into song.

Izuki Karuta was also able to hear her beautiful singing voice.

The melody is melodious and captivating, its lingering notes resonating in the heart. Even the most resolute heart can be softened by its gentle touch.

The third collaborative performance was almost perfect.

"Little Lily, you did a great job."

Izuki Karuta was very satisfied and gave Matsumoto Sayuri high praise.

"It's also thanks to Mr. Yizhu's patient guidance."

"Mr. Yizhu is also very talented, I... like him very much."

Matsumoto Sayuri's joy was evident in her words.

I never expected to meet such a kindred spirit in music.

Their first duet was so harmonious, it was like they were soulmates.

Matsumoto Sayuri was completely immersed in the world of music and couldn't pull herself out.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Singing continuously is a very tiring thing.

This has also caused Matsumoto Sayuri to be extremely tired, drenched in sweat, and panting heavily.

"I'm a little surprised. I didn't expect that this is your first time performing with someone, Sayuri."

Izuki Karuta brought over tissues and helped Matsumoto Sayuri wipe her sweat.

He knew that Sayuri Matsumoto loved music.

When choosing a fiancé, a love of music should be a key requirement.

Surprisingly, when we talked about our experience in collaborative performances, Matsumoto Sayuri didn't know anything about it.

"That guy, I originally thought he was the heir to the Takayama Group and wouldn't have time on weekdays."

"I plan to cultivate my love of music gradually after marriage, so..."

As Matsumoto Sayuri spoke, she felt fortunate to have met Itsuki Karuta.

Not only did it save the Matsumoto family, it also brought her such wonderful musical enjoyment.

This can be said to be the happiest moment for Matsumoto Sayuri during this period, or even in the past ten years.

"correct."

Matsumoto Sayuri suddenly remembered something, "When we were playing together just now, I think I heard Ran's voice."

"Could they have overheard us at the door?"

Matsumoto Sayuri was a little shy.

Before you've fully mastered a song, your singing voice will often sound very harsh.

If Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki heard this...

Then her previous image in the students' minds will definitely collapse suddenly and shatter into pieces.

"Don't worry, the soundproofing in the guest room is excellent."

"We can hear the sounds outside, but they can't hear us."

Izuki Karuta dispelled Matsumoto Sayuri's concerns.

half an hour ago,

Ran Mouri saw Sayuri Matsumoto enter the guest room more than half an hour later.

My mind raced uncontrollably, flashing through countless scenarios that might have happened in the waiting room.

Thinking of Matsumoto Sayuri's unusual behavior today, Mouri Ran could no longer sit still. She walked to the door and gently knocked.

"Matsumoto-sensei, approximately how much longer?"

As she spoke, Ran Mouri pressed her ear against the door.

Try to eavesdrop on what's happening inside.

"We are talking about important matters, concerning some cases."

"Ran, if you have something to do, you and Sonoko should go first."

Matsumoto Sayuri's voice came from inside the door.

It sounded calm and natural, without the slightest hint of anything unusual.

"Oh, I know."

Ran Mouri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't hear anything just now; they were probably talking in hushed tones.

"Alright, Xiaolan, let's hurry up and go."

"I'm so bored waiting here for so long."

Sonoko also came over to pull Ran Mouri.

She also asked Ran Mouri what she was worried about.

But Ran Mouri just wouldn't say, which seemed rather strange.

"Okay, let's go."

Ran Mouri felt relieved and left with Sonoko.

They had no idea that the answer they had just heard was actually a fabrication by Itsuki Shigeda using illusion magic.

As for the real Sayuri Matsumoto, she was immersed in the world of music at that time and couldn't be distracted at all.

Afterwards, seeing that Matsumoto Sayuri was sweating so much, Izuki Karuta told her to go to the bathroom on the first floor to take a bath and soak in a hot bath to relieve her fatigue.

Unexpectedly, more than an hour passed and Matsumoto Sayuri still hadn't come out.

Worried that something might have gone wrong, Izuki Karuta went inside to check.

It turned out that Sayuri Matsumoto was simply too comfortable and relaxed during the bath, and she actually fell asleep.

When Izuki Karuta carried Matsumoto Sayuri to the second-floor guest room to rest,

Matsumoto Sayuri groggily opened her eyes.

"Mr. Yizhu, I would like to stay tonight."

"May I?"

Chapter 43: Caught by Ran Mouri

Izuki Karuta could also tell that Matsumoto Sayuri was exhausted.

He agreed to Matsumoto Sayuri's request and let her stay overnight to get some rest.

It was already close to dusk.

Catherine, who had asked for leave, left work promptly at 5 p.m.
