Chapter 838 Unhappy Retribution
“Ambulance, call an ambulance quickly——”
“Grandpa, grandpa, are you okay?!”
“Oops, his Breathing is weakening..."
As Shitaku Xiansanlang rolled down on the cold ground as if he was pointed by fate, the entire banquet hall was in chaos.
Haga Kyosuke, who was watching this scene coldly, walked down the stairs at this time, carefully checked Shitara Genzaburo's condition with everyone, and prepared to send him to the hospital.
Conan, who rushed over as soon as he heard the screams, struggled to pass through the crowd of people until now. He was breathing more out than in, and his face turned gray at the sight of it. Next to Gensaburo.
He reached out and secretly felt the pulse on the side of the other person's neck, then moved forward and pulled his eyelids, frowning.
Having been exposed to too many scenes, his judgment in this regard is sufficient.
Considering Shitara Gensaburo's sixty-year-old age and the bleeding on the ground, although the person has not died immediately, the situation is not optimistic and it may be difficult for him to make it to the hospital.
He quickly recalled in his mind the location of everyone when the lights came on, and then his eyes were precisely fixed on Haga Kyosuke.
You can’t blame him for being preconceived. In fact, the way of death of Shitashi Saburo is too close to the death method of Danjiro described in the description. And it just so happened that Kyosuke Haga was standing at the top of the stairs at that time...
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at Shitara Xingsanlang, whose breathing was weakening, and felt something was wrong.
If Saburo believed so deeply in the so-called curse, he wouldn't know how dangerous it was to stand in that position in the dark. Why would he lean over? There is no reason.
"In order to record the performance at night, there is a camera on the second floor." Karasawa, who knew what he was worried about, leaned over and whispered, "There should be something captured over there."
Conan slapped his forehead, quickly withdrew from the crowd, and moved in the direction of the camera.
After all, this is not thirty years ago, and everything will no longer be as unproven as it was when Shitara played Erlang.
Karazawa did not follow, but exchanged a look with Asai Narumi from a distance, and then casually mingled with the busy crowd, pretending to help.
Of course, the camera must already exist. Even the matter of setting up the camera was something he hinted to Renki Shitara, and after the other party accepted it, he specially installed it.
This "revenge" prepared for Haga Kyosuke would be a pity if it could not show that the deceased deserved his crime.
It is true that Haga Kyosuke did not kill anyone. He could not use his abilities at this stage even if he wanted to, he would not have the chance.
Similar to what they did on Tsukikage Island, the Phantom Thieves took advantage of Shitara Genzaburo's palace to cause severe hallucinations and auditory hallucinations in the other party. They cooperated with Uiga Kyosuke and his father The similar dress made Xian Sanlang unable to distinguish between illusion and reality, so he made his final act.
As for these settings, they discussed with Haga Kyosuke whether to kill people directly or to take a look at the other person's humanity and true inner thoughts. Among these two options, Haga Kyosuke chose the latter.
After all, they are his relatives. He has been with them for thirty years without knowing each other's grievances. Deep in his heart, he still wants to think the best of these people, so in addition to the real culprit The culprit, Shitaku Tiao Ichiro, left some room for others, Haga Kyosuke.
However, considering what they did at the beginning, considering that they would rather seal things in the storage room than show any guilt to the real victim, Haga Kyosuke, this development is almost To be expected.
When everything comes back, time goes back to that night thirty years ago, giving him enough opportunities to prevent the evolution of the situation. Standing in front of the two brothers who were quarreling until their faces were red, Shitara Genzaburo still knows where the future will go. Following the bewitchment of the inner devil, he stretched out his hands.
Pushing himself into the infinite abyss.
“The ambulance is coming, hurry up, get out of the way!”
The piercing siren gradually approached with a long echo, and Haga Kyosuke, who looked solemn, seemed to be trapped. This harsh sound brought him back to his senses, he covered his ears and took two steps back slightly.
He took the opportunity to turn his head and look at Shitara Toichiro, who was sitting in the main seat under the stage, pressing his chest to finally calm down.
Shitara Toichiro's face was pale and withered. It was obvious that the accident that happened at his birthday banquet had a big impact on his spirit. At this moment, he was pressing his chest tremblingly with one hand and holding his other hand tightly. He held tightly the wrist that Shiro Lianxi was supporting.
Kyosuke Haga knew that what he was grabbing was not the anxious and sad Renki Shitara, but the Stella in her hand that had just finished the performance and had not had time to put down the violin. Diwali.
At this time, at the end of his life, he saw a relative fall at his feet in the same strange way, but what he cared about was still the piano.
"It's like the Lord of the Rings." Karasawa, who had been withdrawn from the chaotic scene, whispered to Asai Shigemi, who was not far away, "Forget it, let's not worry about this crazy guy for now. "Have the people from the hall come out?"
Narimi Asai did not make any eye contact with him. The two of them seemed to be standing close to each other unintentionally, their eyes fixed on the bed being carried. At this moment, when he heard Tangze's question, he just nodded slightly.
"Don't say it yet, let me guess. The secret treasure is another copy of a piano?"
"Yes."
"Good guy, come over tonight, is it possible? We need an extra mass-produced Stradivari, right?"
"...It sounds quite attractive."
"That's weird."< br>
When the two monster thieves secretly gathered together to exchange strange information, Shitara Kanone heard the sharp siren of the ambulance outside the door. She suddenly raised her hands and hugged her head, and let out a scream even sharper than the sound. A shrill cry and howl.
At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted to her.
"Grandma, grandma..." Shitara Renxi turned her head and wanted to check on Xuanyin. However, her hand was tightly grasped by Tiao Yilang and she couldn't break free at all. She turned her head helplessly. , looking at his grandfather's expression.
"She should be a little afraid of ambulances." Facing his granddaughter's surprised look, he reluctantly explained, "Yongmei two years ago, and your father a year ago, both went to hospital. The ambulance was gone. She was somewhat stimulated."
Shitara Kanon, who was holding her head tightly in her hands, didn't pay attention to his words and just started to cry louder and louder. I burst into tears.
"Curse, this is not a curse, this is retribution, Tiao Yilang, this is retribution..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shitara Tiao Yilang raised his eyebrows and scolded, seeing the confused eyes of his granddaughter beside him. , barely suppressing the urge to retort harshly.
He signaled Shitara Renxi to hand the piano to him, then held it in both hands and approached Shitara Kanine. Shitara Kaine used to be a pianist, but she actually had no obsession with Stradivarius.
But she has an absolute weakness, and that is the surrender of her only son.
Thirty years ago, she chose to become her husband's accomplice for the sake of her son. Because her son longed for Qin so much, she ignored her conscience and watched as her upright brother-in-law bled to death.
Now, having lost her son, her connection with the world has become weaker and weaker, so the piano that her son cherished has also become a symbol of her grief.
She took the piano with trembling hands. She did not say any more words, and her crying gradually became smaller.
The commotion here subsided, and the atmosphere became sad and solemn again. He had been paying attention to their movements, and wanted to hear the truth and thoughts of Shitara Kanon. Haga Kyosuke's eyes slowly cooled down. .
Those who blindly help others do evil because of love, and those who become accomplices because of love, have become ghosts themselves.
Saburo Shitara was carried into the ambulance, and the car slowly drove away.
Although it was necessary to go to the hospital to give a clear judgment to determine whether Shitara Sensanro was dead, anyone with a discerning eye knew that the chance of him surviving was extremely slim.
His breathing had basically stopped, and his pupils' reaction to light had disappeared when he was carried into the car. Even if the hospital tried to rescue him, they were mostly comforting.
The banquet had such an accident, and it was difficult to continue the reception. Just for the purpose of comforting the host, most people did not leave immediately, but came up to chat with the Shitaku people. Sentences to express comfort.
Half an hour later, Shitara Genzaburo's rescue efforts were ineffective, and news of confirmed death came. This birthday party once again became a memorial day. The guests who knew the Shitara family's situation looked at each other in confusion, although they did not say it outright. , looking at their expressions, they obviously have deep thoughts about this situation.
Tang Ze raised his hand to cover his mouth where he wanted to tell a cold joke, clearly receiving the unspoken emotions of these people.
Don’t tell me, don’t tell me, although today is only the birthday of Shitara Tiaoichiro, it is already the anniversary of the three members of the Shitara family!
If you think about it this way, after Shitara Takaichiro dies, even if the family cannot celebrate his birthday on this day, it is not impossible to change the name and hold a memorial service, and maybe the banquet can be included The tradition continues...
"Uncle Kyosuke..." Shitara Renki, who was sitting aside in despair, felt the shadow cast on his body. He raised his head and saw Haga Kyosuke's face, as if he had finally found his soul. The support was general, and tears filled my eyes instantly.
Today was an opportunity for her to make a good appearance. After being entrusted with the important task, she was already cautious enough. She even invited a detective to believe it or not, thinking that she could finally break the so-called The curse officially started the performance of the new generation of Shilok artists on the stage. Unexpectedly, the tragedy just changed a carrier and came without any pause.
Even though it was not her decision to take out the piano to perform and it was not something she could control, her mood was still hesitant.
"It's okay, Renxi, it's not your problem." Kyosuke Haga raised his hand and gently patted his niece's collapsed back.
Among all the Shitaku people here, even he himself is already a devil with blood-stained hands for revenge. The only real innocent person is this girl with a thin back.
I am afraid that the name Shitara will end tonight. I hope this girl can put aside the gloom and the so-called burden placed on her by her family and move towards a future that truly belongs to her.
“Leave the requiem to me tonight?”
Conan, who walked back to the stage, was about to talk to Karasawa and Mouri Kogoro about what he saw when he heard Haga Kyosuke's words.
“This is the tradition of the Shitaku family.” Jinqu Hongsheng saw the detectives’ different expressions, adjusted his glasses and explained, “Whenever a family member dies, there will be relatives playing for them. A requiem to express mourning and memorial. Tonight is no exception."
Mouri Kogoro was just about to nod in affirmation of their tradition, but when he heard this sentence, it was no exception, and his brows suddenly twitched.
Has it become a "routine" to play the Requiem at Tiao Yilang's birthday party? No wonder Kyosuke Haga is so sure...
"Grandpa Genzaburo played it last year. It's hard for grandpa and grandma to do this now, so, then it's me..."
"I should do it." Kyousuke Haga patted Shitara Renki on the shoulder, "I was supposed to come, wasn't it written in the track list? However, I originally wanted to give it to your father. The situation was so chaotic last year that my uncle and aunt were not able to come to listen when Uncle Genzaburo played. Unexpectedly..."
"So that's how it is." Shitara Renxi lowered her head and clasped her fingertips. Holding on the edge of the chair, "Then, I'll get the Stradivarius..."
"No need, such a precious and genuine product, my hands will shake when I pick it up." Haga Kyosuke He made a joke and pointed to the piano case he brought back, "I brought my piano. Although it is not as good as the famous piano made 300 years ago, it is also the only relic left to me by my father, and the sound quality can still be guaranteed. "Besides..."
He quickly glanced at the table on the other side and lowered his voice: "Let's not talk about the unlucky question. Now bring that piano over, Aunt Xuanyin will definitely want it." Not happy."
Not far away from them, Shitara Tiaoyilang and Shitara Kaine, who were sitting slumped at the table, were stunned in silence. Shitara Kaine was even holding a baby. He hugged the piano gently in his arms, with a strange gentleness and kindness in his eyebrows.
"Before his death, Master Jiangren also played the piano in front of me. Madam seems to regard the piano and Master Jiangren as one." Jinqu Hongsheng nodded and added.
Kyosuke Haga went to get the piano, and after looking for an opening, Conan briefly explained what he saw in the video.
"The fall was not caused by pushing or physical conflict." He said concisely and concisely, "I have checked the situation on the ground and the stairs. Shitara Genzaburo did make a mistake."< br>
"Is it really an accident?" Mouri Kogoro clicked his tongue, "Is the curse still real?"
"It can't be considered a complete accident..." Conan said ambiguously. explain.
To be more precise, he is not a victim, he is a perpetrator who wants to do something bad.
From the video, although it is not possible to clearly distinguish his movements in the dark, because the light source on the stage illuminates that area from time to time, it can be seen that after the conversation between Haga Kyosuke and Tsuzuki Kosei , standing near the railing next to the stairs, Shitakuhara Sanlang made a very obvious movement of approaching and stretching out his hands.
Kyosuke Haga didn't seem to notice the movement behind him. He just slightly changed his center of gravity and moved in place twice, causing Shitara Genzaburo to pass him by and fall down.
These are all visible facts, but after all, Xian Sanlang had just confirmed his death, and standing in front of him were his relatives, so he swallowed some impolite words for the time being.
While he was talking, Haga Kyosuke, who had taken out his violin, straightened up his appearance and stood on the stage with his violin in hand.
Shitara Renxi, who diverted her attention, looked at him intently. She was stunned when she saw the piano in his hand, and her expression couldn't help but be hesitant.
She hasn’t been exposed to Stradivari for long, but after all, she has been practicing with it for several days and is somewhat familiar with it.
"Is that Uncle Xiangsuke's piano? Why do I feel..." She murmured.
So, what about Stradivari?
