Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 203: Thrilling Music Score (Part 3)

Maori Kogoro walked up to Inspector Megure and tried to inquire about the news about the explosion, but Inspector Megure pointed at Conan and said, "I'm sorry, Maori brother, I can't reveal the progress of the investigation in such a public place, especially in front of children."

As soon as Kogoro Mouri turned around, Conan immediately tried to hide his embarrassment with a silly smile, but he was still punched on the head.

While Miss Ziyin went to change the strings, the violinist, composer and opera singer began their rehearsal. The performances of these three artistically accomplished members of the manor immediately won applause from the crowd.

A group of people walked onto the stage and asked the three some questions about music.

Xiaolan admired the opera singer's voice: "Ms. Sangria's singing is so amazing. It feels like a ball of fire has entered my heart."

The opera singer adjusted her cape and responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Xiaolan."

The violinist complained about his past violin practice: "Oh, once before, I almost broke my arm while practicing playing with only one string. Now that I think about it, it's really..."

The other two had topics to talk about, but the composer was silent, gently stroking the piano keys.

Seeing this, Conan prepared to go up and test it out: "It's rare to have so many musicians here, why don't you go and talk to them?"

The composer looked down at Conan and said, "None of your business."

Conan then asked: "Aren't you going to visit Uncle Orpheus this time? After all, you betrayed your friendship."

"Please make one thing clear to me. Orpheus's suffering was not caused by me, and I have no interest in those experiments."

The composer frowned slightly. "I came here this time not only to perform on the same stage with Mr. Antonio, but also to visit my family. Aunt Mary's troupe is about to come here for a tour, and this is her first stage performance since her comeback, and I don't want to miss it."

Conan frowned. "I thought you would at least give Uncle Orpheus the information you found in the Oritis Organization."

"Since I'm not interested in those experiments, I naturally won't deliberately collect data. However, if Orpheus is willing to come and support my aunt's performance, I wouldn't mind meeting him."

Then, the composer smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come to support us. My aunt will always be the most gorgeous female lead in the spotlight. No one can take her place."

Conan recalled the information he had checked before. The Melody family did have a troupe called "Golden Rose" that mainly performed classical operas. The leading actress "Mrs. Bella" was actually Mrs. Mary. However, it seemed that the troupe had an accident a few years ago.

On the other side, the three little ones were observing the huge organ.

"So big."

“It’s not only huge, but also full of beauty.”

"But how does the organ make sound?"

Ben Tangxian also explained: "The sound-producing principle of the pipe organ is similar to that of the recorder. By sending air into the pipes, different sounds can be produced."

At the same time, he also showed the children that the organ can produce sounds with different timbres through the tuning knobs.

After hearing the explanation, Dr. Agasa became interested and immediately started guessing the riddle of the day: "An opera singer injured his throat, but he gave up surgery and relied on the old man's pills to heal it. So which of the following opera singers is this?"

"First, soprano; second, alto; third, tenor; fourth, bass."

This puzzle was quite difficult for everyone, but Conan and Haibara guessed it right away. Just when Conan was about to say the answer, Miss Reiko Akibaya got there first.

"The answer is one, soprano." She also explained the reason and complained that it was boring.

Dr. Agasa muttered directly: "It's okay if you guessed it, but it's rude to say that my puzzle is boring."

After a while, Officer Takagi called Miss Akiba for questioning, and Conan quietly eavesdropped behind a chair. The police showed a piece of flute barrel that fell at the crime scene.

When Miss Qiu Ting saw this thing, she seemed to think of something, but she didn't say anything to the police. She just said that she was tired and wanted to rest, and then refused the police's subsequent questioning.

Miss Qiuting returned to her seat and just opened her thermos and poured a cup of tea when she heard Yuantai's curious voice.

"What is that, what are you drinking?"

"Have some tea." Miss Qiu Ting was very frugal with her words.

"Give me some to drink too." Yuan Tai was a little greedy.

"No."

"Oh, stingy."

The toy seller came over and tried to persuade the children: "Children, please stop messing around. Some of the ingredients in the tea are not very friendly to children."

The opera singer also came over: "Indeed, eating without thinking can have serious consequences. We singers usually take good care of our voices, unlike that guy..."

The opera singer glanced at the violinist: "You're always craving a sip of wine, aren't you afraid that alcohol will affect your performance?"

The toy seller chimed in, "Yeah, who was the last one who got drunk and wandered into the cemetery next to the church and lay down in the newly dug grave?"

The violinist blushed: "That was an accident!"

[Gravekeeper: Really?]

[Doctor: If Andrew hadn't discovered it in time, would you have been buried in the ground?]

[Prisoner: I have a plan. Just bury a pressure-sensing alarm in the soil. It will effectively prevent night wandering!]

[Mechanic: Isn't this a mine?]

[Crazy Eyes: That's a good idea. I'll modify it later.]

[Little girl: Why don't you just have Uncle Ben put some clips all over the floor? Wouldn't that be more convenient?]

[Mercenary: What if Bane leaves the clamps at the kitchen door? We're in trouble for those of us having supper.]

[Aviator: Mr. Bane's clip doesn't have any recognition function either. I guess we need to research a new device.]

[Deer Head:......]

Mitsuhiko was still a little curious: "Does that mean the tea is good for the throat?"

Ayumi also said: "If there is such a medicine, then we can win the choir competition."

Miss Qiu Ting was now curious: "Chorus competition?"

After Mitsuhiko explained that it was a chorus competition for the Teitan Elementary School song, Miss Akiba readily agreed on the grounds that she was also a graduate of Teitan Elementary School.

In order to obtain more information, Conan pulled the opera singer's clothes and wanted her to join.

The toy seller smiled and said, "Miss Sangria, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Mr. Antonio."

However, when the toymaker turned around, he saw the violinist tiptoeing and trying to sneak away. The violinist, realizing he was exposed, ran away.

Seeing this, the toy merchant's forehead veins popped out, he took out his super invincible cart and chased after him: "Good boy Antonio, I will tell you today that I, Anne Lester, am not someone to be trifled with!"

In the end, the opera singer agreed to Conan's request and prepared to go to the choir classroom of Teitan Elementary School to teach them to sing.
