Chapter 832 It feels good to troll people for a while, and it feels good to keep trolling people.
"Chaoju...!"
As soon as the name came out, the expressions on the faces of the few people who had been watching their exchanges changed. Change.
Although I still don’t know how to write the Chinese characters of this name, but the pronunciation, isn’t this basically...!
"What's wrong?" Kyousuke Haga looked at the strange expressions of several of them, and his hand on Asai Narumi shrank nervously, "Have you ever heard of Chai? That's really rare, he It has never been famous in China.”
"Maybe you've heard a little bit about it. You know, I'm a little different from most of my colleagues." Asai Naomi smoothed half of her hair that was sprayed with temporary hair dye to make it dazzling white. "This may be more important than my reputation itself." Let’s be more famous.”
After thinking about it, in order to increase his persuasion, he also deliberately imitated Karasawa’s state in Kaitou form and acted a bit showy to the people who were staring at him. wink.
Kangze, who knew exactly who was hiding under this leather sheath, felt a chill.
Great performance, don’t do it next time.
Narimi Asai didn’t care whether Mouri Kogoro and the others could be fooled. He just turned around and raised his chin towards the housekeeper in a reserved and arrogant manner: "I heard from Haga that tomorrow Your family will take out the Stradivarius at the banquet, just to see the excitement and learn more. Why, don’t you welcome guests, or do you have any special threshold for banquets where famous pianos are displayed? ”
He glanced at Kyousuke Haga's expression from the corner of his eye, then looked at the somewhat stiff look on the housekeeper, Ms. Tsuko Hongsheng's face, and waved his hand: "I don't want to come so uninvited, but who asked your family to do so?" There are no famous performers, so there is no chance for it to come out? Oh, there is a pretty good talent in this generation, but when she has the opportunity to perform with the piano, I really don’t know what year she will have to wait... ..."
He said, shaking his head regretfully, his black and white hair making people dizzy.
After what he said, Jinqu Hongsheng's face turned red and white, like a traffic light. Even Haga Kyosuke, who had made it clear that he was going home to cause trouble, was shocked.
Narimi Asai himself has adapted well.
The last time this identity appeared, he cooperated with Karasawa to perform the double act to investigate and contact Moritani Teiji, and used it to give Kitagawa Yusuke a porcelain invitation. At that time, he regarded himself as a pianist and scolded Emperor Moritani. This basically established the tone of this identity.
Sharp and mean, harsh and egotistical, coupled with a bit of irritating energy in speaking, he is a yin and yang version of Yusuke Kitagawa, who can really piss people off.
This time he would choose this identity instead of letting Karasawa help him disguise himself. This was what Asai Shimizu had in mind.
The family described by Haga Kyosuke sounds really unpleasant. Compared to Moritani Teiji, it makes Asai Narumi feel itchy. Before Haga Kyosuke made the final decision to take revenge, in addition to coming to help, he also had to seize the time to taunt a few words, otherwise he would not know where to vent his sullenness.
If the meaning of people in the group becoming the Phantom Thief of the Heart is to get shelter and find a place to live, then for Asai Narumi, the biggest meaning of this nondescript Phantom Thief identity is to make him completely Breaking through the constraints and inhibitions, I found my true self and the opportunity to realize my personal value.
What does it mean to face your true self? To put it bluntly, the mental state is especially beautiful.
Since disappearing into the sea of fire, he has not found any discomfort for himself. How can he bear this kind of frustration?
The three people who were still confused by this overly familiar name finally became less sure.
Although the Asai Narumi they first came into contact with was in women's clothing, the gentleness and warmth he showed while in disguise may also be an illusion, but this sharp-tongued image is consistent with him. It was so far apart that even Conan, who was already 30 to 40 sure after just one meeting, couldn't help but quietly take out his cell phone and start searching for the name "Chief Affairs Bureau".
The world is so big and there are only so many Japanese names. Asai Narumi is not a rare name like Edogawa Conan. What if there is someone with the same name or surname, or similar pronunciation?
I just typed in my kana, and before I chose the appropriate Chinese characters, many related news entries popped up in the search engine, which made Conan startled.
When I clicked on it, I saw several news reports in foreign languages, all related to music conservatories and music competitions. In the photo, the yin and yang head sitting in front of the piano is particularly conspicuous. Even if you don't carefully identify the facial features, you can still see it at a glance. Who is it?
"There is actually a person like the Chief Secretary..." Conan was greatly surprised.
"Chief Secretary, these are the words." Mao Lilan, who also searched for news and came back, was relieved at first, and then a little disappointed.
She was just thinking about the possibility that Joker saved Asai Narumi from the fire, sent him to Europe, changed his appearance, and used his new identity to fulfill his past dream of becoming a pianist.
But if you think about it carefully, if this were the case, you would not choose such an eye-catching appearance, and it is unlikely that you would return to Japan. It is still a little too naive to think so...
In addition to Conan who was still confused and still trying to find the traces of Asai Narumi on his face, Mouri Kogoro and Mouri Ran adjusted their mentality again, and Karasawa standing next to him was calm from the beginning to the end—— Theoretically, he didn't even go to Moon Shadow Island with him, so it's normal that he didn't know him. Okay? Several people's attention returned to the face of the housekeeper.
"... Stradivarius has now been handed over to Miss Lianxi." Jinqu Hongsheng took a deep breath and regained his serious posture, "Since I am your guest, Master Kyosuke, you can make your own arrangements."
After saying that, she turned her head and continued to lead Mouri Kogoro and the others towards the upstairs of the main building. She saw that he was ready to completely ignore the Chief Secretary. .
The housekeeper of a big family with many rules should not behave in such a disrespectful manner. It can be seen that Jinqu Hongsheng was very angry.
Moori Kogoro hurriedly followed her steps again.
When several people passed by Haga Kyosuke, who was left on the spot, they all secretly looked at his expression, and they couldn't help but turn their attention to Masaji Asagi who was standing next to him.
Narimi Asai, who only lightly covered her eye features with makeup, accepted their gaze calmly.
Narimi Asai was very integrated into the rank when she was dressing up as a woman. She kept all the daily full makeup that Japanese women should have. On Moon Shadow Island, except for Conan who broke into the fire scene at the last moment and tried to persuade him to leave, The other two people had never seen his true appearance in men's clothing, so he was not afraid at all.
Only when the little boy in the blue suit turned around frequently and looked at him suspiciously and confusedly, did he raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a meaningful smile like a mastermind behind the scenes
Chao Residential Secretary Of course, this identity is fake. There is no such a maverick pianist in the world, but it is said as if Kitagawa Yusuke and Akechi Goro are real.
For things like fake identities, they already have a complete design process. Nothing else but familiarity.
Since this identity was only intended to be used to play an NPC role in this special case, Asai Narumi did not spend much energy in preparation. As for the decent news webpages found by search engines, ...
There are people who can fabricate all kinds of fake science and history that can fool hundreds of thousands of people and large companies by tampering with wikis, publishing civil science at their own expense, etc. Let strong artificial intelligence help P This is a picture, just to mention the search priority, it’s a small problem.
The moment he passed by Karasawa, Asai Naomi raised his hand, revealing the pocket USB flash drive hidden in his cuff. Karasawa took it briskly as he walked by. After completing the last task, Asai Narumi looked at Haga Kyosuke relaxedly and made a gesture asking him to lead the way.
"Okay, I think you don't have any other questions for the time being. Let's go in first, Haga. Let me see what you said."
Withdrawing his gaze from the unfamiliar faces, Haga Kyosuke smiled. He smiled: "Let's go then. Let's go to the annex building first. I have stopped living here for a long time, and there is no room for me in the main building."
On the other end, I was arranged to wait in the reception room of the suite. Mouri Kogoro waited until the butler finally left before talking about what he had just seen and heard.
"Kyosuke Haga, is this guy a relative of the Shitara family? I can't believe it. I've even heard of his name." Mouri Kogoro touched his chin, thoughtfully.
“I didn’t expect you to pay attention to musicians, dad.” Mao Lilan was very surprised.
"He doesn't pay attention to musicians. Kyosuke Haga has written songs for many TV series, including some OPs and EDs sung by Ms. Yoko." Karasawa spread his hands and revealed ruthlessly, "He is indeed pretty good at writing songs. Well, everyone said that he is a solid academic, but I didn’t expect that he is such an academic.”
“But when we talked at the banquet yesterday, it was not said that all generations of the Shitara family except Miss Renxi. Only a son?" Mouri Kogoro continued to ask, "Why are there direct relatives with foreign surnames?"
"Ah, that's not the case. Uncle Kyofu is the son of the second grandfather Tanjiro."
Renki Shitara who walked in took the words, walked to the cabinet on the other side, and took out a dark wooden box with both hands.
Although the Shitara family has a sense of decline and no longer glory, the scale of this mansion is still luxurious enough. Even though Shitara Renxi is a grandchild, she is also in the main building. There is a separate corridor on one side, in addition to the more private bedrooms and study rooms, there is also the reception room where they are located.
Shitara Renxi took the things off the cabinet and placed them on the tea table solemnly before continuing the topic.
"Grandpa Tanjiro was killed as a bandit thirty years ago. Later, Uncle Kyosuke was taken away by his mother's family to be raised, and therefore his surname was changed to Haga. Many people don't know him. As for the relationship with our family, you are not the first to think so."
"Robber?" Mouri Kogoro frowned, intuitively the next content may have a lot to do with the commission," Have you encountered a robber at home? "
"Yes, this is what we are talking about." Shitara Renxi lowered her gaze, opened the lock of the box, and opened the long strip in front of her. wooden box.
There was a faint smell of rosin, and there was a violin lying in the box.
The body of the piano is smooth and smooth, with a slight sheen passing through the strings, leaving a few spots on the surface. The shape is exquisite and slender. Even a layman who doesn't understand the piano can tell that it is well-made and valuable.
"The color is very quaint, so beautiful. Is this an antique piano?" Mao Lilan reached out and touched the surface of the piano, looking at Shitara Renxi curiously.
"Yes, it has a history of more than three hundred years." Shitara Renxi rolled his eyes, "Is our family a musical family? It's hard to say anything else. There are many musical instruments with different origins at home. The mountain is so high. The maker of this piano is Anthony Stradivari of Italy..."
Moori Kogoro, who was about to reach out and grab the bow to feel it as if nothing had happened. She shivered and immediately pulled back.
He looked back at the violin lying in the case, and said in a solemn tone: "Is this the legendary violin that is said to be worth more than hundreds of millions of yen? ”
"Yes. Even in our family's collection, this piano is well-deservedly valuable, the number one treasure." Renki Shitara reached out and touched the body of the piano, and said in an emotional tone, "This piano is I played it as a birthday gift from Grandpa Erlang to my grandpa, but when he brought the piano over, the family encountered a robber."
Conan looked up at the violin and couldn't help but raise it. brow.
I feel like it’s quite tricky.
Even thirty years ago, if a robbery occurred in such a large villa with more than one building, what kind of force and number of people would the robber have to have? Confidently occupying such a place...
Renki Shitara knew nothing about his inquiring gaze, and was still telling the story seriously: "That day was also Grandpa Tiaoichiro's birthday. At that time, there were only grandparents at home. My father, and Grandpa Dan Erlang's family were tied up because they were afraid of the other party's weapons. Grandpa Tan Erlang, because of his resistance and struggle, aroused the dissatisfaction of the bandits and was beaten until he was seriously injured. He was already in a coma when rescue arrived, and died of his injuries a few days later. ”
"Their target was this piano?"
"It should be, but in the end the piano was not stolen. I heard from my family that it seemed that I took it by mistake." Renki Shitara shrugged, " Our family has quite a collection. It is difficult for people who are not very knowledgeable to identify which one is more valuable. They probably just heard that Grandpa Erlang bought a famous piano, so they came to our door and wanted to rob it. "
Conan pushed up his glasses and shook his head slowly in his mind.
Even though the vagueness of the details may be due to the thirty-year time difference and the lack of information caused by the layers of narration, just listening to the summary of this story is not very reliable.
"Your commission is not to ask me to catch the prisoner from 30 years ago, right?" Mouri Kogoro frowned in confusion, "That is not something that can be achieved with hard work. ”
Thirty years have passed, and the prosecution period has passed. Unless the right time, place and people are right, how can we restore the original truth?
This young and cute girl must have read too many detective novels and has some unrealistic fantasies about detectives...
“No, such a request is too difficult. "What I want you to help me solve are the strange things that happened in the past two years." Shitara Renxi shook her head, her expression became heavy, "One was the birthday party the year before last. Grandpa Gensaburo's wife was obviously very good at sports. Grandma Yongmei accidentally fell down the stairs and died. Last year, my father, who was cautious and extremely afraid of death, fell to his death because he accidentally leaned on a rotten railing. "
"It sounds like an accident." Kogoro Mouri commented pertinently.
"Yes, but they all said..." Shitara Renxi pursed her lips and whispered in a ghost story tone, "This is the curse of Mingqin."
It is indeed a bit bizarre that for two consecutive years, people from the same family all died unexpectedly on the same day, contrary to their own personalities and daily styles.
The rest of the people were either thinking, or they were nervous and scared because of the start of this weird talk. Only Tangze reached out and calmly touched the piano, which was more expensive than gold, and changed his words.
“‘They all said’, who are the ‘they’ you are talking about?”
