Because of the bombings and the deaths of four people in the past few days, Conan and Reiko Akiba are not very close, so there are still many key points that he has not figured out yet.
Heiji Hattori originally wanted to come along and help solve the case, but Conan only managed to get a concert ticket thanks to Ran.
Sonoko had no interest in preparing a ticket for Hattori Heiji, whom she didn't know well.
As for the idea of getting a ticket through connections, Hattori Heiji did mention it to his father, but Hattori Heizo's influence didn't extend to the concert hosted by the Suzuki family.
Just then, another person walked up from behind.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Akiba Reiko, who was standing on the stage preparing her emotions, suddenly changed her expression.
The visitor was none other than the director of the Domoto Concert Hall, Domoto Kazuki's personal tuner, a white-haired man named Shoko.
However, the score and craftsmanship today are completely different from what they saw during rehearsals a few days ago.
At this moment, Pu and Jiang had white bandages on their faces and their hands were also tightly wrapped in bandages, making them look like they had suffered extremely serious injuries.
"Mr. Fuwa Takumi, what's wrong with you?" Kogoro Mori looked at Fuwa Takumi with a shocked expression, his gaze lingering on the short white hair near his ear, full of doubt and confusion.
Pu Hejiang gave a wry smile and said, "I had a little accident and got injured, but it's nothing serious."
Although everyone had many questions, they didn't press the matter further.
Yuzuru carefully wiped his hands with a wet wipe, and as the other person passed by his seat, he said indifferently, "At your age, don't try to be like the young people and use knives and guns. It would be bad if something went wrong one day."
Pu Hejiang's body jolted, his steps faltering for a moment before he continued walking forward. However, the fact that his hands had been clenched so tightly betrayed his inner turmoil.
Conan thoughtfully looked the two of them up and down.
He had just noticed that when Pu and Jiang passed by Hanyu Nan, Hanyu Nan's mouth opened slightly, as if he were speaking.
Unfortunately, the sound was too soft, and he didn't hear it at all.
.........
The final rehearsal before the official concert soon began.
Hans Müller, the organ tuner, has lost contact for some unknown reason. Kogoro Mouri originally intended to call the police, but Ikki Domoto was worried that calling the police would waste time and refused.
This concert was truly the focus of everyone's attention.
It was supposed to start at 5 p.m., but the area outside was already packed with reporters from all over the world.
In Domoto Kazuki's view, this was very likely to be the most outstanding concert of his life, and he absolutely could not afford to make even the slightest mistake.
As the lights gradually dimmed, the rehearsal officially began.
Beautiful music flowed gently through the concert hall, immersing everyone in its charm.
Compared to the first rehearsal, Yamane Shion, as a violinist, showed a significant improvement in her performance, completely mastering and conquering the Stradivarius in her hands.
Although Shion Yamane is somewhat neurotic, there is no denying that she is a musical genius.
Or rather, most musicians are more or less neurotic.
Ayumi leaned against Ai, her eyes sparkling, her little face full of bliss.
Conan kept an eye on the sheet music and the craftsman standing by the stage.
This person bears a striking resemblance to the photo he saw yesterday at the police station when he learned about Akiba Reiko's deceased fiancé, Soma Hikaru.
However, the bandages that suddenly appeared on Pu and Jiang's faces made Conan feel somewhat uncertain.
...........
When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted.
"That was amazing! The actual performance will be even more spectacular!" Sonoko exclaimed excitedly as she came out of the performance hall.
Akemi nodded in agreement, "Miss Shion's violin playing is so amazing, it's completely different from when we were rehearsing."
"Also, Miss Reiko's singing voice is very moving," Ran added with a smile.
The three women, who considered themselves to be the most musically gifted in the family, excitedly discussed the rehearsal they had just had, chattering away in a lively atmosphere.
Yuzuru followed behind with a smile.
Soon your music rankings will all drop a bit.
"Ayumi".
A shout came from above. Professor Agasa, along with Genta and Mitsuhiko, quickly walked over.
"Why did you arrive so early?"
"Because if we were even a minute late, we wouldn't be allowed in, so we asked the doctor to come early."
The group chatted briefly.
Sonoko pointed curiously at the long, narrow cloth bag in Genta's hand and asked in confusion, "What are you holding?"
Genta quickly took out a flute from inside.
"It's a recorder." Xiaolan recognized it at a glance.
Kogoro Mouri, speechless, leaned down and scolded, "Are you out of your mind? Who brings a recorder to a concert?"
Ai turned around and glanced at Yuzuru Hanyu.
Someone also had a flute, but it wasn't a proper flute; it had tricked her before, making her so angry she almost bit Yuzuru to death.
Mitsuhiko hurriedly explained, "Genta wanted to use the recorder to make sounds because he couldn't speak."
Genta also played the recorder.
“He means: yes,” Ayumi quickly translated.
The three boys' teamwork was also off the charts.
After repeatedly emphasizing that no sound was allowed during the performance, Sonoko led everyone towards the restaurant.
After all, the concert doesn't start until 5 o'clock, and it wouldn't be good if my stomach started growling.
"If only we could communicate with recorders," Mitsuhiko lamented after translating Genta's desire for eel rice.
“That’s not impossible.” Ai, dressed in a black suit and pink skirt, said calmly with her hands behind her back, “We just need to switch the phonetic names and the written characters.”
"Should we switch the phonetic names and the written characters?" Ayumi repeated blankly, her eyes filled with confusion.
Ai turned her head and gave a slightly arrogant smile, like a top student looking at a group of underachievers. "It uses the English alphabet, so you kids probably can't understand or do it yet."
Everyone fell silent...
No, apart from the three little ones, only Kogoro Mouri remained silent.
The people present—Ran, Sonoko, and Akemi—had all eaten translation konjac before, and they also had memory bread at home, so these simple translations were a piece of cake for them.
As a true professor, Dr. Agasa's translation skills are naturally beyond his capabilities.
Needless to say, Conan, although he is absolutely tone-deaf, is also someone with perfect pitch.
In the end, only Kogoro Mouri was left speechlessly gazing at the sky.
How can he, the sleeping detective, be on the same level as a bunch of kids? Doesn't he have any dignity?
