Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 207: Thrilling Music Score (Part 7)

The opera singer put on the costume of "Basalisa", wearing a golden crown on her head, jeweled earrings, and a gilded dress. She was now as noble as an imperial queen, with jewels and tassels hanging at her waist and a deep black dress hanging down, showing her glory.

Looking at the people who had already come on stage, the opera singer played with the blue mask in his hand.

"To be honest, I kind of want to wear the 'Voice Over the Curtain' piece. After all, it's a red palace accessory, and it matches your outfits."

The Composer (Dragon Hunter)'s hair has turned red and white, and a closer look reveals dark golden dragon horns hidden in his hair. His dark golden armor and exquisite red cape perfectly highlight his aristocratic temperament.

"I wish we had more new clothes." The composer tapped the tuning fork in his hand.

The Violinist (Echo of Magic) wears a royal musician's dress with an iris pinned on his chest and a red mask on his face with ribbons extending from the mask.

"Hey, someone came to the manor earlier than us, but their wardrobe is emptier than ours."

[Evil Lizard: Criticizing my Mirror Skin by name, does this really fit my theory of evolution?]

[Entomologist: That's really outrageous.]

[Spellcaster: I feel like some of the rare costumes in the Looking Glass Mall are more exquisite than yours...]

[Lucky Guy: When will I have the chance to wear my own rare fashion? I really like this little squirrel fashion.]

[Novelist: I can only see if the Golden Rose Troupe can squeeze in more plays. After all, some people's identities are not convenient to be revealed directly.]

[Knight: So I can perform the Knight of Avalon on stage?]

[Surveyor: I seriously suspect Orpheus is trying to make a killing by collecting ticket sales before anything happens to the Golden Rose Theater.]

[Entomologist: Isn't that good? It's in line with your expectations.]

[Explorer: That’s true.]

Domoto Issei, Yamane Shion and Akiba Reiko on the stage finished their performance in a short while. It must be said that it was indeed high-end and classy, ​​winning the admiration of everyone in the audience.

This was followed by performances by a violinist, an opera singer, and a composer, except that the composer played the piano, which he had tuned himself.

The composer played his own largo score, the violinist played the magic sound, and the opera singer sang in the center of the stage, which also brought a very shocking performance.

After the rehearsal, Conan and his friends came to the outside of the venue, and Sonoko was still praising the performance.

Professor Agasa brought the three little ones and Haibara to meet everyone. Since Genta couldn't speak, he took out his recorder and used music to express what he wanted to say.

However, Maori Kogoro solemnly warned Genta that he could not play the instrument after the concert started, and mobile phones were also prohibited. Dr. Agasa patted his chest and said that there would be no accidents, because he had already made preparations and even put away his detective badge.

Seeing that there was still some time before the concert started, everyone decided to go eat first. Yuantai even played the message "I want to eat eel rice" on the recorder.

Huibara mentioned the use of music to represent words. "If you want to communicate with the recorder, it's not impossible. You just need to swap the note names with the words. But we're using the phonetic alphabet, so it's still too early for you."

Conan recalled the strange sounds he heard during the rehearsal, so he found an excuse to return to the concert hall.

At this time, in front of the organ, Miss Qiuting was pulling the knobs and pressing the keys, trying to find out what went wrong.

Conan, who arrived, heard the voices and asked directly: "Isn't that voice a little strange?"

"I think so too. I noticed it just now when I was there. But I only know which key it is, but I can't figure out which stop is making the sound. Because several stops are being pulled at the same time, I can't tell them apart."

As she spoke, Miss Qiuting pressed the keys again, and a low sound came out: "Sure enough, the sound is a little lower than usual."

Conan pointed to the top part and asked, "Is it coming from that area?"

"I think it's the short whistle at the back. It seems one of the pipes is out of tune. We need to adjust it before the concert officially starts."

At this time, the composer slowly walked onto the stage and said: "It is a pity that Mr. Mulla, who can adjust this organ, has not yet appeared."

The tuning fork in the composer's hand was struck regularly, making a crisp sound.

Miss Qiuting noticed this detail and asked: "By the way, you seem to be holding this tuning fork in your hand all the time. I saw you tapping it from time to time before. What are you doing?"

The composer explained: "Just like musical instruments need to be tuned and tested from time to time, our brains also have 'noise' when they perceive the world and receive information, so I use my own melodies to tune myself."

Miss Akita nodded in agreement. After all, many artists have their own quirks, and it is normal for a composer to have such a habit.

Conan had other ideas. Before, on the sky ship, he knew that the composer's illness was Chimera Syndrome, which caused lines on the composer's body like burning flames, and at the same time put his mental state in a relatively poor state.

Conan suddenly thought: If the "noise" the composer mentioned was real, then who was whispering in his ear? Perhaps that "noise" came from the composer's brain, from the brother he absorbed in the womb.

Conan felt horrified at the thought, and a hint of sympathy lingered in his eyes as he looked at the composer. If this hadn't happened, with his normal mental state and handsome appearance, Mr. Kreborg might not have needed to join the Oredis Organization to become a truly famous composer.

The composer noticed that Conan's eyes had changed when he looked at him, but he also didn't like such a sympathetic look, so he turned his head away with disdain and no longer looked at Conan.

Miss Akiba stood up and prepared to tell Domoto Issei the news. Seeing her leaving, Conan hurried to follow her. The composer silently watched the two of them leaving, then walked off the stage and went to meet the violinist and opera singer.

Miss Akiba and Conan came to the door of Domoto Isaki's lounge, knocked on the door but found no one there, so the two of them decided to go together and look for Domoto Isaki in the place where he might appear, chatting on the way.

"But I didn't expect you to be able to recognize which voice it was."

Conan chuckled: "My hearing is pretty good."

"This is more than just good. If I'm not mistaken, you should also have absolute pitch." Miss Qiu Ting exclaimed.

The two of them soon reached the lake. Miss Akiba looked around but didn't see Domoto Issei. "That's strange. Isn't he here?"

Conan turned around and asked, "Are there any other locations?"

"Well, maybe he went to have tea, just as you said."

Before Miss Qiu Ting could finish her words, someone attacked her from behind with a wrench. She was knocked to the ground and fainted.

Conan, who had never expected such a situation, was also hit. The wrench hit his watch hard, and he rolled on the ground several times due to inertia and fainted.
