Chapter 658 The First and Last Match
"Huh? Oh."
Conan followed.
As soon as Ran opened the door, she heard Kogoro Mouri's seemingly calm voice, "Ran's back. I'm sorry to say that as soon as you get back, but could you make me a cup of coffee?"
They immediately saw Kogoro Mouri sitting back on the sofa, one hand resting on the back of the sofa, his legs crossed, calmly reading a book placed on his lap.
them:? ?
"Dad, Dad? What are you... doing?" Ran Mouri looked confused, indicating that she didn't recognize her father.
When Kogoro Mouri looked up, he only saw Ran Mouri and the others; there were no high school girls who idolized him as he had imagined.
Mouri Kogoro: "..."
Ran Mouri chuckled and said, "Dad, the person I was talking about won't be here for a while."
Qianzhu watched the farce unfold helplessly before following them inside.
Indeed, very quickly, the transfer student Ran Mouri mentioned, Eisuke Hondo, arrived here.
As soon as he opened the door, he and Conan tripped and fell.
That's quite a generous gift.
Qianzhu remained silent for a moment, then looked at Hondo Eisuke, who seemed like a complete goofball, shrugged slightly, walked over, picked up the glasses that had fallen off his head, and returned them to him.
"Ah, thank you!" Hondou Eisuke took it and put it on. His big, bright eyes lit up as soon as he saw it. "You must be the composer, Mr. Joki, right? I heard from Sonoko that they know you, and I was planning to visit you too! I never expected to see you today!"
He reached out and shook Qianzhu's hand, grinning sheepishly, "Hello! My name is Hondo Eisuke, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Qianzhu's smile remained unchanged. "Hello."
Then he silently withdrew his hand.
Seeing that he almost tripped again because he was too excited, Qianzhu silently reached out and pulled him up, gently reminding him, "Be careful."
"Thank you. Actually, I've always been like this; I'm never really lucky." Hondo Eisuke scratched his head and listed one by one the unlucky events he had encountered in the past.
Well… although they are all minor things, for a normal person, that is indeed quite unlucky…
Then Hondo Eisuke turned his admiring gaze to Kogoro Mouri, excitedly showering him with compliments and expressing his desire to see him solve the case on the spot.
Conan was somewhat dumbfounded by Hondo Eisuke, who seemed like a sunny and cheerful young man.
But he didn't expect him to have such a personality, and he still couldn't let his guard down.
After all, he does look very similar to Rena Mizunashi, also known as Kir.
However, cases can come unexpectedly. One second Hondo Eisuke had just said he wanted to see a live performance of "Sleeping Kogoro," and the next second a client was knocking on the door.
The person who came was a man named Atsushi Mikami. He mainly wanted to ask Kogoro Mouri to find his wife, who had disappeared along with her car, because the proposal he was due to submit the next day was in that car.
Everyone was stunned by this.
It turns out that what he was worried about wasn't his wife, but the proposal that was due tomorrow.
Qianzhu shook his head inwardly. Without even thinking, he knew his wife was definitely gone, beyond saving.
Based on some relevant clues, they prepared to set off for the ski resort in Gunma to find Atsushi Mikami's wife.
But it's really cold in Gunma...
Therefore, Sonoko Suzuki did not go with them, and of course, she did not let Chitake go with them either.
After waving goodbye to them, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly looked at Chizuru, leaned closer to him, and said mysteriously, "Chizuru, you must be interested in piano performances and the like, right?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Qianzhu tilted her head slightly, puzzled.
"Oh dear, someone gave me a few tickets to a piano performance. I was planning to invite Xiaolan to come with me, but I forgot. How about I give you one ticket instead?"
After saying that, Sonoko Suzuki raised her eyebrows slightly, then took out a ticket to a piano performance from her bag and handed it to him.
"Thank you." Qianzhu glanced at the performance and time written on the ticket and did not refuse. She smiled and took the ticket from her hand.
"I'll be going now, be careful on your way back." Sonoko Suzuki waved to him and then turned to leave.
"Okay, goodbye."
After saying goodbye to her, Qianzhu lowered her eyes to look at the ticket in her hand, a glint of light seemingly flashing in her eyes.
He put the tickets away and turned to leave.
The performance time listed on the ticket is this weekend.
...
Time passed, and as everyone knows, the day came to be the weekend.
Qianzhu and his group arrived at the performance venue. The venue was not large, and the performers seemed to have only invited people they knew, who then invited a few of their own friends. Therefore, there were not many people present.
As they sat down, the person who had given Sonoko Suzuki her tickets sat next to her; she was also a high school girl.
She introduced them to today's performer.
According to her, the performer was not much older than them, and he held this piano performance today to fulfill his wish because he had a serious case of stomach cancer.
This performance can be considered his first and last performance.
Qianzhu sat in her seat, listening to the whispers of three girls, her gaze lingering on the piano placed on the stage ahead.
A few seconds later, he looked away.
As Ran Mouri and the others were feeling sorry and sad for today's performers, Sonoko Suzuki suddenly pointed ahead, "Hey, hey, hey, look over there, isn't that Naya Tsuki!"
She stood up excitedly and shouted, "Nayal Moon!"
The blonde girl, who had been called, turned around in confusion and then saw them. She waved to them with a hint of surprise.
However, since the performance was about to start, they didn't go to each other's seats to chat.
Instead, they quietly appreciated the piece the performer played with almost all his might.
Many people were deeply moved by this.
Not long after the performance ended, they saw an ambulance rushing towards them.
"Oh my god," Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed softly, "He's going to the hospital right after a performance? How upset he must be."
"Perhaps he'll feel fortunate that he finished performing the first show," Kuno Naya said, covering her lips with her fan and smiling.
“Yes, what Naiyue said makes sense. Perhaps the other party will feel fortunate that their wish has been fulfilled.”
