"I'm sorry, Teacher Lantau, I still have an appointment and I don't have time to stay here any longer."
Qiuting Lianzi stood up and said to Lantau Lixue.
She came here entirely because she couldn't resist the repeated requests of the elder Lantau Lixue. She didn't want to be protected. What's more, the person Lantau Lixue introduced to protect her was actually a person with such a bad temper. Don't even think about it.
"Wait a minute, Lianzi, didn't I tell you that you are being watched now, so you'd better go out less..."
Lantau Lixue said worriedly.
The other party could even get a bomb, so he must not be an ordinary person, and the prisoner had already killed two people and injured one person. She was really worried that Qiuting Reiko would be in danger.
Qiuting Lianzi shook his head: "Yesterday, a group of students from Didan Primary School invited me to provide guidance for their class's chorus. As you know, my alma mater is Didan Primary School, and what they asked me to coach was the Didan school song. I couldn't shirk it. go."
"Wait, Teitan Elementary School? Are you talking about the Teitan Elementary School in Miwa Town?"
Yan Kai suddenly asked.
"Yes, that's right, it's Didan Elementary School. Is there any problem?"
Qiuting Lianzi rolled his eyes and said calmly.
"Let me ask..." Yan Kai thought for a while and felt that it might not be such a coincidence, but he felt a little uneasy if he didn't ask. "Is the class that invited you to teach the chorus, class B in the first year?"
"How do you know?" Qiuting Reiko was extremely surprised, and then continued, "Yes, it's Class B of the first year. A group of kids who call themselves a detective group invited me."
"..."
Gan, it’s true!
This time it was Yan Kai's turn to help his forehead.
"If you are going to Didan Elementary School, I will accompany you."
Yan Kai said to Qiuting Lianzi.
Lantau Lixue was quite happy: "So, Xiaokai, you promised to protect Lianzi?"
Yan Kai shook his head slightly: "No, I mainly want to verify one thing, not to protect her."
Lantau Lixue was confused for a while.
verify? Verify what?
What else can be verified? Of course, it is to verify whether Conan is a disaster star or a god of plague.
…………………………
"Why are you here?"
Conan looked at Yan Kai who came to Didan Elementary School with Qiuting Reiko with a surprised look on his face. His eyes were quite resistant, and he obviously did not welcome Yan Kai's arrival.
Conan really wanted to draw a clear line between Yan Kai and Yan Kai, who let the murderer go and was full of crooked ideas.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to see you anyway."
Yan Kai smiled, his words also full of disgust for Conan.
Qiu Ting Lianzi, who was on the side, glanced at Yan Kai and thought that this person really had a bad character, even talking to children was so thorny.
However, just because Conan didn't welcome Yan Kai didn't mean that others didn't welcome Yan Kai either. Conan's guardian Mao Lilan couldn't help shouting happily after seeing Yan Kai coming: "Ah, Kaijun, why are you here?"
"It's Kai-kun. I was just having fun during the school festival and didn't even say hello to you. I'm sorry!"
Suzuki Yuanzi, who was inseparable from Mao Lilan, also greeted Yan Kai.
"It's big brother Yan Kai!"
The three children of the "Young Detective Team" were also very happy to see Yan Kai coming.
This made Qiuting Lianzi look sideways.
Impossible. Shouldn't a person with such a terrible personality be treated coldly and disliked wherever he goes?
"Xiaolan, Yuanzi, why are you here?"
Yan Kai asked Mao Li Landao.
This death configuration is so complete. If nothing happens today, it will be a shame for Conan's disaster star attribute.
"Isn't this Conan's class going to perform a chorus? Their class's music teacher is busy, so I will be their accompaniment."
Mao Lilan replied.
"I'm just here to watch the fun!"
Suzuki Sonoko raised her hands with a smile.
"Is there anything exciting to see?"
Yan Kai said in confusion.
Suzuki Sonoko, the second daughter of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, doesn't usually see any exciting performances. Do you need to watch the excitement of a group of elementary school students singing together?
Suzuki Sonoko gave it a try and snickered: "Kaijun, you will know in a moment."
Ayumi Yoshida opened her cute big eyes and looked around, but didn't find the figure she wanted to see. She couldn't help but pull the corner of Yan Kai's clothes: "Brother Yan Kai, where are the group leader and Xiao Ai?"
"Aren't the two of them always with you, Ayumi? Why did you ask me about it instead?"
Yan Kai said in confusion.
Only then did Yoshida Ayumi realize that it turned out that Yan Kai did not come with Ling and Haihara Ai, so he said: "The leader and Xiao Ai said they would come back to cheer us up today. When I saw you, brother Yan Kai, coming, I thought The leader and Xiao Ai came with you."
Yan Kai shook his head slightly: "No, I came with this aunt."
"Aunt?"
Qiuting Lianzi suddenly became furious.
She was only in her twenties, how could she endure being called aunty!
Yan Kai glanced sideways at Qiu Ting Lianzi: "You are a lot older than me, so why don't you call me aunt?"
Women who are running for three years should at least have some self-awareness. You are no longer young, so don’t even think about dressing young!
"..."
Qiuting Lianzi took a deep breath, but couldn't say anything to refute. She could only say bitterly: "You annoying brat!"
Seeing the quarrel between Yan Kai and Qiu Ting Lianzi, Mao Lilan quickly stepped forward to be the peacemaker: "Okay, okay, now that Miss Qiu Ting is here, let's start rehearsing, okay? Okay?"
Qiu Ting Lianzi took a breath and didn't want to talk to Yan Kai anymore, so she nodded: "Let's get started."
In the music classroom, Mao Lilan played the piano, and as the piano played, all nine first-year Class B students, including Conan and San Xiaozhi, began to sing the Didan school song.
Qiuting Reiko leaned against the window, listening to the students singing and admiring the scenery outside the window.
She is a graduate of Didan Primary School. She once attended school here for six years and even took lessons in this music classroom. She was naturally touched when she returned to the old place after many years.
The children's singing gradually stopped, and Mao Lilan's piano also slowly stopped. She looked at Qiuting Reiko expectantly: "Miss Qiuting, what do you think? Is there anything that needs improvement?"
"All right……"
Reiko Akiba stopped reminiscing, walked back from the window, then walked up to the children, pointed at Moto Kojima, who was the most conspicuous among the children, and said: "First of all, you!"
"ah?"
Moto Kojima panicked for a while. This aunt with a bad temper... ah no, it's the eldest sister. What should I do?
"The sound is too loud. Please cooperate with everyone's voices more!"
Moto Kojima scratched his head and laughed.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was standing next to Genta Kojima, was smiling when he saw Genta Kojima reciting the sermon, but Reiko Akito changed the subject and said, "And the freckled boy next to you!"
"Why?"
"Although your pitches are all correct, you occasionally get distracted and always look at the two little girls next to you!"
Qiuting Lianzi said mercilessly.
The other children all burst into laughter, making Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya very embarrassed, and the two little girls next to Reiko Qiu Ting were talking about Ling and Ai Haibara who had arrived not long ago.
I can't help it, whether it's the group leader or Haiyuan-san, they always attract me. I can't control my eyes...
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said shyly.
After teaching Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya a lesson, Reiko Akiba walked up to Ayumi Yoshida, bent down and stroked Ayumi Yoshida's head and said: "Your pitch is accurate and energetic, very good."
For children, it is not enough to just teach them, they must also be praised.
Yoshida Ayumi was very happy to be praised by Akito Reiko, and her big eyes curved into an arc.
After selecting a few more students for guidance, Qiuting Reiko's face turned cold and pointed at Conan: "...The problem is, you!"
"I?"
Conan was shocked. He had sung the Teidan school song for six years when he was Kudo Shinichi, and now he has been singing it for half a year. How could there be any problem?
"You didn't tune in from the beginning to the end. You didn't do it on purpose, right?"
Qiuting Lianzi looked at Conan coldly and said.
It is indeed easy to understand when singing out of tune, but Conan never kept a note in tune from the beginning to the end. The difficulty is not much different from choosing all the wrong answers in a multiple-choice question. This made Reiko Qiu Ting suspect that Conan was here to cause trouble.
"No, Conan didn't mean it, he's just a tone-deaf person!"
Seeing Conan being targeted by Akito Reiko, Yoshida Ayumi stepped forward to prove Conan, but her answer made Conan's face darken and the others burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, hahaha, I just came to see this excitement!"
Suzuki Sonoko laughed.
No performance by a famous singer is as good as Conan's Embarrassment!
"I also want to ask a little question."
Yan Kai said to Mao Lilan.
"what is the problem?"
Mao Lilan asked curiously.
"I know that the birthrate in Japan is very serious, but there are only nine members of Class B this year? If there is one more person, can't you consider replacing Conan?"
"a ha ha ha……"
Mao Lilan looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Yan Kai's words.
After the first rehearsal, the students did not rush to start the second rehearsal, but absorbed and digested Reiko Qiu Ting's words.
Qiuting Reiko sat down to rest, feeling cold all over, and didn't know what she was thinking, while Yan Kai started chatting with Mao Lilan and the others, and while chatting, they couldn't help but talk about Dr. A Li's cold riddles.
"Is Dr. Agasa's riddle very cold?"
Yan Kai couldn't help but ask.
"..."
Everyone looked at Yan Kai speechlessly.
Dr. A Li’s riddles can be used to relieve the heat in midsummer. Isn’t it still too cold?
"Sorry, I'm not very good at Japanese. I can't understand many Japanese jokes."
Yan Kai replied.
Although he has been in Japan for a year and a half, Yan Kai's Japanese has not actually improved much. Mainly because there is an excellent translator like Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and he does not need to improve his Japanese.
"Oh, I see……"
Ayumi Yoshida thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
"But speaking of riddles..."
Yan Kai thought for a while and then said, "Since I have nothing to do, why don't I come up with a riddle too, but it might be a bit boring."
"Okay, okay, our 'Young Detective Team' is the best at deciphering secrets!"
Yoshida Ayumi said excitedly.
"Okay, then I have a question." Yan Kai smiled and then said, "The riddle is 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng'. If the answer is..."
Yan Kai pointed at Conan: "It's an adjective that can be applied to Conan."
"I?"
Conan was stunned for a moment, and then a lot of adjectives flashed through his mind.
Sherlock Holmes of the Reiwa era, the savior of the Metropolitan Police, a high school student detective, a rising football star, a celebrity in Teidan, handsome, extremely smart, and a heartthrob...
Oops, there are so many adjectives that can be used for himself, he can't even count them all. Damn it, this Central Plains man is so cunning, he actually came up with a riddle with such a wide range of answers!
Conan fell into excited distress.
"Gongshang Church? What kind of church is that? Has Conan joined such a strange church?"
Kojima Mota said confusedly.
"It's not the church on the palace, it's the palace merchant Jiao Zheng!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya corrected.
"'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng'...'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng'... what do these words mean?"
Ayumi Yoshida kept mumbling riddles, but she couldn't even understand the meaning of the riddles.
Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko also participated in the guessing game, but they also failed to get the point.
Qiuting Reiko was not prepared to join this boring guessing game, but she still couldn't help but think about it.
Gong Shang Jiao Zheng... I seem to have heard of it somewhere...
Qiuting Reiko searched for fragments of past memories in her mind.
Ling read it for a few times and immediately found the answer. The corners of her mouth curved, but they quickly disappeared.
Forget it, you can go ahead and play, I won't get involved.
Others kept mumbling riddles, but they still couldn't figure out Yan Kai's riddle.
"Why……"
Huiyuan sighed, seeing that everyone was guessing further and further, and even Conan couldn't guess it. She could only stand up and said: "'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng' is one of the four traditional pentatonic tones of the Central Plains, and there is one missing one. The sound of "Le" is 'Yu', but it doesn't matter if this sound is missing or that sound, because the answer to this riddle should be 'Tone Deaf', and Brother Kai is talking about Conan being tone deaf."
"Tone deaf?"
After Haihara Ai explained, the others immediately reacted.
"Yes, Conan is indeed a tone-deaf person. This riddle is indeed very appropriate for Conan!"
Yoshida Ayumi said excitedly.
I know I'm tone-deaf, so you don't have to speak so loudly!
Conan said in embarrassment.
Yoshida Ayumi's attitude was actually quite friendly. After listening to Haibara Ai's explanation, Suzuki Sonoko burst out laughing: "Gongshang Kakusei? Tone-deaf? Gongshang Kakusei? Tone-deaf... Hahaha, Kaijun. This riddle is really interesting, much more interesting than the doctor’s cold riddle!”
"Kaijun, you are... poof!"
As Conan's lover, Mao Lilan should have been on Conan's side, but after pondering Yan Kai's riddle for a few times, it was really hard for her not to laugh.
"Conan, tone deaf, Conan, tone deaf..."
Moto Kojima not only laughed, but also laughed so painfully that he repeated it over and over again.
Even Qiuting Lianzi, who was displeased with Yan Kai, twitched the corner of her mouth, and it took a lot of effort to hold back her smile.
Seeing everyone starting to laugh at him, Conan was furious: Just scold me if you scold me, do you need to beat around the bush like this?
