Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 208: Thrilling Music Score (Part 8)

In the concert hall, Domoto discovered that Miss Akiba was missing and was assigning people to look for her. There were only fifteen minutes left before the performance.

Chigusa Lala volunteered to take Miss Akiba's place if she couldn't make it back.

"Ever since the incident with Mr. Hebian, I've been worried that something like this would happen again, so I've been practicing singing recently."

Seeing that Domoto was unmoved by her gesture, Chigusa Lala became a little anxious: "Please, Mr. Domoto, I will definitely sing better than Miss Akiba."

To this, Domoto simply replied: "You don't need to sing better than her. Music is a question from mankind to God, and it should be sung as a prayer."

Eulitius's three companions scoffed at the idea of ​​prayer. The violinist was once a brilliant musician, but his music was controlled by the royal family. The opera singer was abused by her father, and the noble lady who finally found her was exploiting her. The composer's fate was even worse.

When they prayed, did God answer them? What answered them was the devil's thread, fire and ashes, and the departure of the Muse.

Prayer is useless, and that kind of illusory vision will only make people follow blindly, so the gravekeeper trapped by the vision hopes to be buried in the church, so the apostle who sees through everything decides to take revenge on everyone.

However, all three agreed that music should be pious.

[Painter: That's right, art is sacred, and those mediocre people are not worthy to set foot there.]

[Sculptor: I couldn’t agree more.]

[Jack: Unfortunately, some art is destined not to be understood by others.]

[Photographer: Wait a minute, Jack, did you go into the kitchen without wiping your paws?]

[Perfumer:?!]

[Magician: Oh wow.]

[Adventurer: Is there one more person prohibited from entering the kitchen now?]

[Forward: Let me see, the people prohibited from entering the kitchen are Evelyn, Florian, Michael, and Orpheus, and now Jack.]

[Explorer: Everyone knows why Orpheus is not allowed into the kitchen.]

[Acrobat: Hey, it's understandable that Florian is banned, but why am I not allowed in either?]

[Fire Investigator: How dare the person who mixed black powder into pineapple buns say that to me?]

[Ms. Farrow: Florian, please be quiet for a moment. Remember that many areas of the estate are off-limits to you.]

[Air Force: If they were in the kitchen, they blew up the kitchen. If they were in the garden, they burned the garden. If they were in the woods, they set the woods on fire. This is really outrageous.]

[Crying Clown: Actually, the most outrageous thing is that he almost set the bathhouse dressing room on fire.]

[Knight: 6, how come I didn't know about this?]

[Lawyer: That's a disaster because there's another person who's got a problem.]

[Dancer: Is there anyone else who can tear down the bathhouse?]

[Aviator: It was Luca. He lost his battery in the bathroom.]

[Prisoner: You can't blame me entirely for this. My physical condition has been like this since the accident.]

[Puppeteer: Yeah, so Florian took advantage of the fact that we were all electrocuted by Luca and set the locker room on fire.]

[Professor: So we asked Mr. Balk to build a small private room for Luca to prevent him from leaking electricity again, and Florian was blacklisted.]

[Mechanic: This is too abstract.]

At this time, on the open-air stands, when Sonoko was lamenting that Kudo Shinichi did not come, Xiaolan discovered that Conan was also missing.

At the same time, the broadcast at the venue announced to the audience that the singer had changed from Reiko Akiba to Lala Chigusa.

Conan, who had been unconscious for an unknown amount of time, woke up on a small boat. He tore off the waterproof cloth and woke up Miss Akiba who was standing beside him.

The two men realized they were trapped upstream in the canal, with only a telephone on the shore to help them contact rescue.

Conan's brain raced, and he finally came up with a feasible solution. Because the dial tone of a push-button phone is composed of two high and low signal tones, as long as he could make the same sound, he could call for help.

Conan told this method to Miss Akiba, and the two immediately began to put theory into practice. At the same time, they heard an explosion in the concert hall in the distance, which made Conan realize that something big must have happened in the concert hall.

Time was of the essence, so the two first rowed the boat to the shore, and then Conan accurately hit the microphone of the phone with a football, causing the phone to enter the dialing stage. Then the two sang in unison the audio representing "110", successfully transferring the call to the police.

At the Domoto Concert Hall, as the music inside the venue sounded, explosions outside the venue also sounded one after another. Due to the excellent sound insulation effect of the building, the people in the hall were completely unaware of the explosion.

At this time, on the top of the concert hall, the toy merchant was struggling to move through the flames and smoke.

"How many bombs did this murderer plant? I checked them one by one, and they still exploded?"

[Cowboy: Annie, are you okay?]

[Toy Merchant: I'm fine. I collected some of the bombs and neutralized them with the device Luca gave me, but I didn't expect there would still be so many.]

[Blind Girl: It's too dangerous! If a bomb explodes near you, the shattered rocks will hurt you!]

[Mechanic: Then I'll take over. Watch my mechanical army march out!]

[Prophet: Wow, how many boxes did Lucky have to go through to get so many remote controls?]

[Aviator: Fortunately, Tracy's robot is not affected by the signal at all.]

[Fire Investigator: Kevin and I came to provide support. After all, it would be too conspicuous for you, Anne, to jump directly from the roof of the concert hall.]

[Cowboy: It looks like reporters and police are already heading this way. We need to leave immediately.]

[Madam Red: Was there any impact on the venue?]

[Composer: No one noticed the explosion outside.]

[Violinist: Why, even if this building were to collapse, Miss Sangria and I could still take Frederick and run. Miss Sangria is one of the fastest people in the whole estate.]

[Opera Singer: Antonio, I saw you sneaking with your luggage. Are you trying to sneak away?]

[Violinist: That's impossible. Isn't it perfectly normal for a freestyler like me to have a move to cover distance?]

[Composer: Aren't you used to having wards?]

[Violinist: Um, well, I accidentally touched my trump card.]

[Sculptor: I don’t believe you!]

Conan and Miss Akiba, who were floating on the canal, finally received police rescue. Officer Takagi and Officer Sato came to rescue them in a helicopter.

Sitting in the helicopter, Ms. Akiba looked at the smoke rising from the Domoto Concert Hall and felt a little worried. Officer Takagi informed the two of the current situation: the pillars outside the concert hall had exploded ten times.

Conan knew that the person who planned these explosions was the same person who killed the four people, and they all used bombs to commit the crimes.

But what Conan couldn't understand was why the murderer only spared Miss Akiba and even kept her away from the concert hall?
