Since the venue was quiet, Qiuting Reiko, who was sitting in the front row, could hear the conversations of several people. She had just paid attention to Ye Gengyi, who said the name of the song, and to Conan, a child who knew Bach.
As a result, after hearing Ye Geng's definition of music, he couldn't help but retort:
"Huh, I can't agree with you at all."
"Ah, it's the soprano Reiko Akita..."
Mao Lilan covered her mouth and shouted softly.
Just when the unicorn girl was about to stand up and apologize for the two of them, Ye Gengyi replied first:
"This lady who eavesdropped on other people's conversations, is your approval valuable?"
"What?"
Qiuting Lianzi turned sideways slightly, staring at Ye Gengyi across a few rows of seats with her gray and black eyes.
"For ordinary people, there is only one definition of whether a piece of music is good or bad, and that is whether it sounds good and elegant... It can also be said that 'whether it can trigger emotional resonance'. As for what chords are used, what tones are used and the performance The techniques it uses, I can only say that it is too professional and falls into the cliché."
Ye Gengyi looked down at the past and said without any fluctuations in his tone:
"Art is not all art. Since it does not need to be auctioned to launder money, and the audience groups are different, there is no need to clearly mark the price everywhere and make distinctions between high and low."
"You..." Qiuting Lianzi was choked by these words.
"Me?" Ye Gengyi said, "Unfortunately, I'm not a musician, so I don't need your approval."
"Hmph! A layman!"
Qiuting Reiko was so angry that she turned back. From this angle, she could just see that her shoulders, which were not blocked by the seat, seemed to be shaking.
"Brother Gengyi..."
Mao Lilan on the side looked a little ashamed, and suddenly felt that compared to Brother Geng who spoke directly, what Shinichi said about himself on the phone, "Lori, let's talk", seemed not unacceptable...
"I didn't mean to disparage her."
Ye Gengyi said, "I'm just not used to her way of forcing her professional stuff on others, and I think the Mumu Police Department over there have long wanted to scold these artists for their desperate behavior for the sake of performance, but it's just It’s just direct without me.”
"By the way, speaking of this..."
Mouri Kogoro remembered the original intention of his question and quickly brought back the topic and said: "Saraichi, the Megure Police Department and others are coming here. They must be investigating the bombing of Domoto Conservatory of Music. How is the progress of the investigation?"
Hearing this, Conan also looked over with a solemn expression.
"Hmm..." Ye Gengyi thought for a while, pointed to the stage and said, "You can say that the suspect is among those few people. It is not clear whether there are any accomplices."
"Is this true!" Mouri Kogoro was shocked.
"In order to compete for the opportunity to perform and become famous, the leading actor cannot go on stage for some reason," Ye Gengyi lowered his voice and said: "This is the conclusion drawn from the clues currently available to the police... However, is this actually the case? , remains to be studied.”
"Is it because of the Stradivarius again?"
The eyes of Conan and Mouri Kogoro were focused, and they both fell on Yamane Shione, the candidate for playing by the river.
"Okay, Ziyin, let's start, starting from the first song "Ave Maria"."
At this time, on the stage, Ikki Domoto also called a few people to start rehearsing.
"yes!"
Yamane Ziyin quickly came to the center of the stage.
However, she did not start playing immediately. Instead, she put her bow on the strings and kept trying out the sound. Anyone who looked at her could notice her nervousness.
Alas, is it tolerant of music? If this kind of lazy thinking is also accepted by professional musicians, then who should create those beautiful music...
Qiuting Lianzi sighed silently, stood up and said towards the stage:
"Judging from your situation, it seems that you are still unable to cooperate with me in performing."
"I'm sorry, Miss Qiuting..."
Domoto Ikki knew his disciple's mood, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "Please give her some time to adjust."
"sorry."
Yamane Ziyin also took a deep breath and quickly nodded to everyone, indicating that they could start.
Domoto Ikki didn't know what to say when he saw this.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this Stradivarius had only been in the hands of his disciple for a few hours. Ziyin's level was obviously not enough to be familiar with this violin.
However, since it is a rehearsal, the problem should be exposed in advance to avoid appearing on stage while sick.
While thinking, his hands also touched the keys of the piano, and the sound of the piano suddenly soared.
However, the sound of the violin is...
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Domoto Ikki stopped playing, frowned and scolded: "It's not ridiculous at all!"
"Eh? Is something wrong?"
In the audience, Suzuki Sonoko's face was blank.
At this time, she had a profound understanding of the meaning of what Ye Gengyi said, "Music is for ordinary people."
"Uh... I think it's perfect too."
Mao Lilan, who has some musical background, also said that he did not hear any flaws at all, and said with emotion: "It would be great if Shinichi was here. He might be able to hear it if he practices violin."
"Um……"
Conan said subconsciously: "I think it's because Ms. Yamane didn't produce the tone that the Stradivarius should have."
"Eh? Conan, can you hear it?" Mao Lilan was a little confused, "You can't even sing the most basic scales correctly..."
Hey, I'm just tone-deaf, not an idiot, and I don't use my throat to play the violin but my hands!
The little soul in Conan's heart roared wildly, but because the explanation was too easy to be associated with Kudo Shinichi, he could only endure the ridicule and said with a dry smile:
"Haha, I just felt it..."
"It's not that the level is not good enough, it's that one of the strings is about to break." Ye Gengyi said.
"Ah?" Everyone was startled.
Sure enough, the next second on the stage, Yamane Shione, who was performing her second audition, heard a "bang" sound before the violin strings broke, causing the performance to be stopped again before she could get into the rhythm.
this……
Several people looked at each other, and then all looked at Ye Gengyi with doubts.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Gengyi wondered.
"Brother Gengyi, how do you know that the strings will break..."
Conan couldn't help but ask: "From this position and the lighting on the stage, you shouldn't be able to see the state of the strings clearly."
"Even if you can't see the strings clearly, you can confirm again by her fingers pressing the strings and pulling the bow. Didn't she just tune it? When she tried the e string, the metal friction sound caused by the vibration was too loud. It was harsh. I didn’t like the noise, so I paid more attention..."
When Ye Geng said this, he suddenly noticed that Qiuting Reiko, who was sitting in the first row, was looking sideways towards him again, so he had to stop talking and said with a pun:
"I heard that there is a store in the shopping street that sells pretty good earplugs."
Several people:"……"
