Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 202: Thrilling Music Score (Part 2)

The toymaker looked at Conan with a complicated expression. "Mr. Frederick is the only one here who is considered a collaborator of the Melodi family. No one else has any intention of getting involved in the Melodi family's affairs."

Conan's eyes lit up. "So, you're not traveling this time to do some work for the Melody family?"

"If I must say, it was Mr. Melodi who recommended Antonio to Mr. Frederick. Antonio can play an entire piece with just one string."

Conan was a little surprised. "So the musician with devilish talent that Uncle Frederick mentioned was actually Master Antonio?"

Conan thought carefully about the violinist's actions and found that apart from his love of drinking and gambling, he was a very good person. The toy merchant was also a businessman devoted to charity and should not be the same kind of person as the Melodi family.

However, it is hard to say about the composer. He is a man who is a little crazy in his pursuit of art.

Then, Conan took the opportunity to ask the toy merchant about the opera singer: "What kind of person is Miss Sangria in your Oritis organization?"

The toymaker thought for a moment and replied, "Ms. Sangria's code name is 'Opera Singer.' She's not someone to be trifled with. As long as she's with the Melodi family, she won't harass us."

Conan's eyes widened. He had heard from the professor that there were several people in the Oritis organization who were not to be messed with, and the "opera singer" was one of them.

"That......"

Conan wanted to ask more, but the toy seller stopped him: "Okay, I know you have a lot of questions, but rehearsal is about to start, so let's just focus on the music."

On the stage, Domoto Isshige was playing the organ and quickly finished a song. The audience watching the song immediately applauded, and Domoto Isshige also stood up to greet them.

Maori Kogoro exclaimed: "As expected of Domoto Issei, what a wonderful performance."

Xiaolan pointed to a person on the stage and said, "I've seen that person on TV, the one wearing glasses."

Sonoko explained, "That person is Mr. Fuwa Takumi, who has been Domoto Issei's exclusive tuner for thirty-five years. This time, he is the director of the Domoto Music Hall."

Conan recognized the old man as the one who was pinching the piano keys that he had seen at the Domoto Music Academy.

Sonoko continued introducing the people on stage. "The interpreter is Mr. Domoto's son, a pianist named Hondou Genya, who's in charge of this performance. The two women are Mr. Hondou's students. The one on the right is the ninth graduate of Domoto Academy, soprano singer Chigusa Lala. The one on the left who looks nervous is the eighth graduate of the same academy, violinist Yamane Shion."

Dr. Agasa asked, "She is the replacement for Kawabe Souko who was injured in the explosion."

"That's right. When the explosion happened, Miss Hebian's Stradivarius was just being sent for adjustment and survived, so she lent it to Miss Ziyin to play."

"Also, the person sitting in the first row of the audience is..."

Before Sonoko could finish, Xiaolan followed up: "It's the soprano Miss Akiba Reiko, she's very famous."

The toy seller sat nearby and grumbled, "I wonder how they compare to Miss Sangria?"

Conan turned to look at the toy seller: "What kind of opera singer is Sister Sangria?"

The toy seller held his chin in his hands. "Ms. Sangria has the most amazing singing voice. When she sings on stage, the audience's enthusiasm ignites the stage like a flame, and it won't stop until the stage is reduced to ashes."

Conan showed his half-moon eyes directly: "Isn't this description too exaggerated?"

The toy maker disagreed. "Perhaps fire is part of art? I heard that when Miss Sangria joined the manor, she was asked to perform a show on a burning stage. I didn't see the show myself, but everyone was afraid of Miss Sangria after that."

"Of course, as we got to know each other better, we all realized that Miss Sangria was a very good person. She wouldn't make all sorts of horrible reagents like Nightmare, nor would she cut people open like Jack did..."

[Jack: Is that even human language? Can I compare my strength to that of Miss Sangria?]

[Nightmare: I must complain to Miss Nightingale immediately.]

[Opera Singer: I've been severely weakened several times in a row. Please stop staring at me.]

[Shadow of Time and Space: I was also nerfed.]

[Lame Sheep: Even though I was nerfed, I still can't get out of the ban position.]

[Rumpus: Who says it isn't?]

[Hermit: After all, the top regulators all have their own strengths, making it difficult to counter them.]

[Photographer: That's right, so shouldn't there be more ban slots for survivors?]

[Prophet: No, I have lived in the small dark room for a long time.]

[Mercenary: I think we should just lie down and fight the Alliance.]

[Prisoner: Free Fight, Start!]

[hermit:?]

[First Mate: Hey everyone, we at Abyss Team 5 have opened a new vinyl store with a cyberpunk decor.]

[Cowboy: Not many people buy vinyl records these days, right?]

[Forward: That would be even better. No one would come to our store and disturb us while we watch a movie.]

[Spellcaster: William, put down my brownie!]

[Frontman: Ah! (Screaming after being electrocuted)]

[Postman: Wow, that sounds like it hurts.]

[Mechanic: What about your appearance? Does that scare anyone?]

[First Mate: Most young people think this is a trendy outfit, and they don't suspect anything.]

[Surveyor: You seem to be renting a storefront. Can you afford the expenses without any income?]

[First Mate: Um, this question... please, Norton!]

[Explorer: I knew it!]

Listening to the toy seller's speech, Conan suddenly felt that the opera singer was indeed more acceptable than Jack. After all, he was just standing in the fire and singing. It wasn't a big deal...

At this moment on the stage, Domoto waved and called Miss Shion to start playing, but her condition made Miss Akiba very dissatisfied.

"Judging from your condition, it seems that you are not yet able to cooperate with my singing."

Miss Shion apologized repeatedly and performed hard after the audition, but was rejected by Domoto Issei because she did not produce the tone that a Stradivarius violin should have.

During the second attempt, the string suddenly broke and scratched Miss Ziyin's face. She left in a panic to replace the string.

Miss Qiu Ting looked unhappy: "Really, do I still have a chance to practice singing today?"

After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the venue, but was stopped by Inspector Megure. The police wanted to learn more details about the bombing from Miss Akiba, but she said she had to go to the dressing room first.
