Chapter 210: Thrilling Music Score (Part )
Conan told Miss Akiba this guess, and they must immediately stop Domoto from pressing the key that would detonate the bomb.
While the two were talking, the bomb exploded twice more, and Conan finally saw through his glasses the figure of the criminal holding the detonator in a box.
Time was of the essence. After realizing that she could not stop the performance directly, Miss Qiuting made up her mind. She sang loudly while slowly walking down the stairs.
After noticing her behavior, the three people performing on the stage immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Miss Akiba who suddenly appeared with surprise.
[Composer: It's "Amazing Grace."]
[Violinist: She's buying Conan some time. As long as her melody can carry everyone on the stage, Domoto can change the music and prevent the bomb from exploding with the music.]
[Opera Singer: Should we go on stage to help?]
[Violinist: I have to go help out here, let's go!]
[Composer: That's perfect. I can use my piano music to remind Domoto Issei what happened.]
[Fire Investigator: Hey, I've already sneaked into the concert hall!]
[Batter: No, how did you get in?]
[Fire Investigator: Take the stairs.]
[Cowboy: There's such a big fire outside, and you're not going to join in the fun?]
[Toymaker: If the bomb exploded directly in the concert hall, everyone would be killed instantly, which doesn't meet Florian's "screening criteria," so the perpetrator must be stopped.]
[Mercenary: So Florian can accept medium rare, but not burnt?]
[Forward: What a hellish way to describe it, Naib, how am I supposed to eat barbecue for the next few days?]
Miss Akiba had already walked onto the stage, but Domoto Isshi did not want to stop the previous performance. Chigusa Lala thought that she was there to steal the limelight, so she also maintained the original repertoire without changing it.
At this moment, a melodious violin sound was heard. The violinist played the string music and walked to Miss Qiu Ting's side. At the same time, the opera singer pushed the composer and the piano to the front of the stage and played "Amazing Grace".
While playing, the composer looked up at Domoto Isshiki. When he played the piano keys with the same pitch as the tampered organ keys, he deliberately made a mistake. This detail was immediately noticed by Domoto Isshiki, who was familiar with the piano tone.
Domoto Ichihui felt that these people must be trying to convey some message to him. He had only been playing the organ for two years. Although he was not as familiar with the organ as the piano, when he thought about it carefully, there was indeed something wrong with the sound produced by that key.
After contemplating the matter, Domoto immediately followed the composer's melody and played along. Seeing the outcome was lost, Chigusa Lala lowered her head in disappointment. But soon, her hands were lifted by the opera singer, who burst into song in front of her, leading her to join the chorus.
The song of "Amazing Grace" resounded throughout the concert hall, immediately bringing back Xiaolan's memories. She remembered that it was under this song that she and Kudo Shinichi reconciled, and the singer at that time was Miss Akiba.
At this moment, the mastermind behind the scenes, Pu Hejiang, looked at the scene on the stage and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Sure enough, I should have gotten rid of them first."
"You can't do it. Just based on this shocking singing voice, you've already lost." Conan came behind Fuhejiang. "Besides, this song is your son Soma Hikaru's favorite, so you hesitated, right?"
"Also, the person singing this song right now is your son's favorite. The key to my reasoning lies in the difference in timbre. At first, I thought it was a pipe out of tune, but it turns out it's a micro-sensor installed in one of the organ pipes that detects airflow."
"Thus, the timbre of that pipe undergoes a subtle difference. When the sensor detects the airflow, the bombs will receive the signal and explode one by one. When the last bomb explodes, the concert hall will collapse."
"There was no explosion during the rehearsal because the switch hadn't been turned on, right? Mr. Fuwa Takumi, the director of the Domoto Concert Hall and a former piano tuner?"
Conan finished all his reasoning in one breath and waited for Pu and Jiang's reactions.
Pu Hejiang sighed. "I had placed bombs on each load-bearing pillar, powerful enough to collapse them. But at the end of the rehearsal, I saw the toy merchant named Annie take some of the bombs from the roof and leave. I thought my plan had been exposed."
"But after checking, I found that she didn't find all the bombs. The remaining bombs were still enough to blow down the concert hall, so I went ahead with my plan as usual. I didn't expect these people to come on stage together to stop me." Pu Hejiang looked at the people performing on the stage and said calmly.
Then he turned his gaze towards Conan: "I'm curious, how did you know it was me?"
"You clearly have absolute pitch, but you didn't point out the abnormality in the organ's sound during the rehearsal. That's why I became suspicious."
"Then how did you know that I was Hikaru Soma's biological father?"
"I've seen your license plate number before, and that's Mr. Soma's birthday. Also, Mr. Domoto has a photo of you when you were young, and you look very similar to Mr. Soma."
Conan's face was very serious. "You killed those four musicians to avenge your son, right? Also, in order to successfully implement your plan, you excluded all those with absolute pitch from the concert hall, so you designed the explosion that injured Miss Kawabe Zoeko."
"As for Miss Qiu Ting, she is the fiancée of your beloved son, so you can't do it. You just want to use various methods to prevent her from attending this concert, right?"
On the stage, the music grew increasingly passionate. Conan listened to the violinist's drawn-out strings and said angrily, "On my way here, I saw Sister Annie on the rooftop, braving the smoke and flames to search for the bomb you left behind. If her companions hadn't rescued her, she would have likely been killed by the sudden explosion. Didn't you consider the many innocent people here?"
The door of the box was pushed open again, and the fire investigator walked in. As soon as he came in, he punched Pu Hejiang hard. This punch was quite powerful, and Pu Hejiang staggered back several steps and then sat on the chair.
"I'm sorry, I didn't really want to treat an old man like that," the fire investigator said with his signature smile. "But Mr. Klayberg asked me to give you a good beating to teach you a lesson."
"He said that someone like you who is so audacious as to use sacred music to hurt people is simply tarnishing this art. It's really bad!"
At this time, Miss Qiu Ting on the stage finished her song, and she no longer heard the strange sound of piano keys, which meant that no bomb was detonated again, which made her feel relieved.
