At five o'clock in the afternoon, cars began to arrive outside the Domoto Concert Hall. Men and women in formal attire got out of the car, entered the gate, and walked along the road to the main hall of the concert hall.
Two police cars were parked at the gate. The police assisted the security personnel in checking the invitations, and stared at the people who entered with sharp eyes, as if they wanted to strip the people naked and check whether they were carrying dangerous goods.
Although the people attending the concert hall felt uncomfortable being stared at, on second thought, they felt that this was also an emphasis on safety issues, so no one cared about it. Some people responded with kind, encouraging and grateful smiles.
Not far outside the door, a taxi parked on the street.
Chi Fei paid his fare late. After getting off the bus, he glanced at the policeman at the door from a distance, then turned and walked toward the woods next to the concert hall.
You can watch the big explosion outside, and you can watch the solving of the case inside. Although the big explosion is also exciting, he wants to know why Pu and Takumi want to kill him so persistently, so it is better to go in.
He understands the topography of the entire Domoto Concert Hall and can sneak in through loopholes in the architectural design without even using a spare invitation.
…
In the concert hall, Suzuki Sonoko called a group of people to sit down in the VIP seats.
Mao Lilan turned around and looked for Conan, "Where did Conan go?"
"Edogawa said he wanted to go to Brother Fei Chi, so we don't have to wait for him," Haibara Ai thought of the missing Conan, found an excuse to help cover it up, maintained a calm expression, stood up and said, "I also want to go to Brother Fei Chi there."
"Then I..." Mao Lilan stood up.
"Okay, Xiaolan, don't worry about them, we'll just stay here and watch the show," Suzuki Sonoko grabbed Mao Lilan and turned around to tell Haibara Ai who was leaving, "Xiao Ai, don't run around after the show starts. !”
"I see."
Haibara Ai did not look back, and walked down the stairs to the area where the private room was. As soon as she arrived at the corridor, she saw several people standing at the door of the private room reserved by Chi Feichi, including Mouri Kogoro and Megure Shisan.
"Miss Qiuting still can't be contacted?"
"Yes, in order for the performance to go smoothly, Dean Domoto decided to replace Miss Chigusa Lala on the stage..."
"Now is not the time to think about whether the performance can go on smoothly, right? Miss Qiuting may have been attacked by a prisoner!"
Hui Yuan Ai hesitated for a moment, then quietly stepped forward.
Although she told the news that a famous detective was also missing, it might destroy the police's arrangements and disrupt the police's rhythm, but she estimated that something happened to a certain famous detective and Qiuting Reiko. If she told her earlier, she might still be able to help Can be rescued in time...
Maori Kogoro turned around and saw Haibara Ai walking over, and frowned, "Xiao Ai, why are you here? It's not safe here. You hurry up and find Xiaolan and the others..."
Haiyuan Ai raised his head and said, "Edogawa is also missing. I want to see if he has come here."
"No, he didn't come to our side. I said, although the mobile phone must be turned off when entering the concert hall, in this special situation, in order to find someone, it is understandable to make a call before the performance starts," Maoli Kogoro waved his hand to chase him away, "Call yourself and ask where he is. Don't cause trouble here!"
"But after we finished lunch, he said he wanted to go back to the performance hall to find Dean Domoto, and he couldn't be contacted since then," Haibara Ai calmly explained the situation. "The phone couldn't be reached, and he couldn't be found."
"What?" Memu Shisan hurriedly checked with Haibara Ai, "Did you lose contact with him since you left after lunch?"
When Shiratori Rensaburo saw Haibara Ai nodding, he couldn't help but feel anxious, "It's been more than two hours since Conan lost contact, and it was about the same time that Miss Qiuting lost contact, but our colleagues in front of the concert hall gate and in the courtyard didn't See them leaving!"
Mouri Kogoro guessed with an ugly face, "Did that boy happen to run into Miss Qiuting and have an accident, and be attacked by the murderer?"
"Immediately draw out the manpower that has been mixed in with the guests and find someone!" Mumu Shisan said with a solemn face, "We originally arranged manpower among the guests to protect Miss Qiu Ting. Now I am afraid that something has happened to Miss Qiu Ting, and there are also Children are involved, so there is no need to deploy so many manpower, we must find them as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Others responded seriously.
Haihara Ai hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he should explain the situation, "Mr. Hans Muller... the tuner who tuned the organ was not present during the rehearsal this morning and could not be contacted."
A group of police officers: "..."
One is missing, another is missing, and another is missing long ago?
Previously, the police protected four people, but two were gone in less than a day and night. Today, the police set up defense outside the concert hall. Although it was a bait to make the criminals take it lightly, it was still manpower, and the result was under their noses. , three more are missing!
Mumu Thirteen's brain was pounding, but his expression was so numb that he was almost insensitive. After taking a deep breath, he controlled his gradually collapsing mood and roared, "Stop standing and act now!"
"yes!"
A group of policemen ran across the corridor and downstairs without caring whether they would disturb the guests in the concert hall.
Haibara Ai saw that Mouri Kogoro and a policeman who looked very similar to Chi Feichi also followed, and he lowered his head and thought.
The murderer's targets are Miss Qiuting and Brother Fei Chi. Now one is missing and the other is not here. It makes no sense for the murderer to transfer the police. There is indeed no need for the police to keep a secret watch.
The question now is, what happened to Edogawa and Miss Akita.
If Brother Chi had not been here and followed Edogawa, who liked to run around, the two of them might not have disappeared.
No, you can’t think like that. If Brother Fei Chi comes here, the murderer might go crazy and target Brother Fei Chi. Sometimes Brother Fei Chi is more adventurous than Edogawa, and in the face of crises he is as calm as if he wants to die. , not to mention worrying...
At the end of the corridor, Chi Feichi walked down the stairs from the upper floor, looked at the backs of a group of policemen coming downstairs, then looked back at Haihara Ai, who was standing alone in the corridor, lowered in thought.
Conan and Reiko Qiuting disappeared, probably because they were knocked down by Pu and Takumi.
There should be almost enough clues to solve the case, but the rhythm of the famous detective is not good. How long did he stop interfering with the plot, everything turned back.
However, if his sister is thinking so seriously, is she planning to help?
Hui Yuan Ai vaguely noticed something unusual. He looked up and saw a man standing at the end of the corridor, staring at him quietly. A chill ran down his back. After seeing clearly that it was his brother, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chi Feichi uncertainly.
Wasn't Brother Fei Chi knocked down by his uncle?
Isn't she just blind?
Chi Fei belatedly saw that Hui Yuan Ai had noticed him, and walked up to Hui Yuan Ai, "It's just that I haven't seen you all morning, so you don't recognize your brother?"
"No..." Haiyuan Ai tried to keep a calm expression, "It's just that you suddenly appeared here, I was a little surprised."
She just complained in her heart that Brother Chi was careless, and the next second, people appeared out of nowhere. It was really scary, and made her feel a little guilty, and she didn't have the confidence to speak.
The performance has officially begun. In the organ and violin ensemble, Chigusa Lala sang "Ave Maria" steadily and calmly.
Chi Feichi walked along the corridor to where the pipes of the pipe organ were, filtering out the soprano singing and violin accompaniment in his ears, and focused on distinguishing every sound produced by the pipe organ.
Seeing that Chi Feichi left without saying a word, Haiyuan Ai followed him, "Brother Feichi, Edogawa and Miss Qiuting are missing."
"Um."
Chi Feichi walked beside the guardrail of the corridor and observed from a distance the sound stopper pulled out by Domoto with a wave of his hand.
Now that he came in and Conan and Reiko Qiu Ting disappeared again, he would not place his hope on Conan and Reiko Qiu Ting's return, relying on those two people to hear that an explosion sensor was placed in the sound tube.
You are the one who is in danger. If you don't want to be helpless when things get bad, you should grasp the situation as early as possible and the key to breaking the situation.
There was a note with an inaccurate pitch just now. Domoto did not adjust the stop during this period of time when he waved. It should be the current stop.
The next step is to confirm which tone is inaccurate and determine which sound tube has an explosion sensor installed in it.
Haiyuan was speechless for a moment, and then reminded him again, "Mr. Hans-Müller disappeared during the morning rehearsal."
Chi Feichi waited for the inaccurate sound to appear again next time, and used part of his mind to respond, "I just heard it on the stairs."
"Then what?" Haiyuan Ai asked speechlessly, "Should we find a way to find them?"
Chi Feichi walked to the end of the corridor, looked at Domoto playing the organ below and waved, "Listen to the song first."
Huiyuan Ai was confused and listened attentively for a while, but he didn't find anything.
He remembered that 24 explosions would occur throughout the performance, blowing up 23 pillars supporting the outside of the concert hall, and burying everyone for the last time.
In the original plot, Conan and Reiko Akiba arrived after 20 explosions. After 22 explosions, Reiko Akiba came forward and forcibly changed the original repertoire to "Amazing Grace" to prevent Domoto from pressing the button. , so that the concert hall was not completely destroyed and an exit was left.
That's right, after the 24 explosions were completed, they were buried. Counting the need to reserve an exit to leave the concert hall, they only had 22 chances at most.
Go to the sound tube and remove the explosion sensor. If Domoto presses the button again, the hearing of the person or creature in the sound tube will be damaged by the impact of the loud sound. Such a big creature in the sound tube will be damaged. , the abnormal sound emitted by the pipe organ is enough to attract the attention of ordinary musicians. If the composer and the craftsman detect that a creature has entered the pipe, they may directly detonate the bomb remotely and send them on their way in advance.
The initial "Ave Maria" was played twice, and then Domoto gave a speech with a wave of his hand. Then, the cantata was played 10 times, and the final piece had a total of 12 times.
In other words, if Reiko Akitai can't make it, and Reiko Akitai doesn't come forward to perform the wrong performance, the only time to dismantle the explosion sensor is when Domoto makes a speech, and he'd better do it during the two abnormal sounds of "Ave Maria." , hear the sound and find the corresponding sound pipe.
If you miss this opportunity, you can only place your hope on Qiuting Reiko and find Qiuting Reiko and Conan as soon as possible...
