Chapter 591 Conspiracy
Chu Ming tried to persuade Kogoro Maori to put down the violin, but he held the violin and thought he was a genius, and refused to stop destroying Chu Ming's ears.
Shitara Renxi looked at Maori Kogoro and said quietly: "This violin was made by the Italian craftsman Antonio Storatibali--"
Kogoro Mori's hands froze instantly.
"S, Storatibari?" Maori Kogoro suddenly felt that the violin in his hand was a little hot. "Could it be the legendary violin worth hundreds of millions... the violin Storatibarios?"
Kogoro Mouri was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva, and the hand holding the piano trembled slightly. What if he used too much force, he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if he sold it.
Xiaolan stood up and said, "Dad, put it down quickly!!!"
Kogoro Mouri wanted to hold the violin tightly to prevent it from slipping, but he was afraid of damaging it by using too much force. He was so anxious that he used his face to help exert force. Finally, with the help of Xiaolan, he put down the violin.
Chu Ming, who was standing by, didn't even bother to help. He almost fell off his chair from laughing, causing Kogoro Mouri to give him a deathly look after he put down his piano.
Chu Ming straightened his expression and changed the subject: "Ms. Lian Xi, is there something wrong with this piano?"
Shitara Renxi shook her head and looked at the violin on the table: "This is a cursed violin..."
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, she slowly explained the reason why she was looking for a detective.
This violin was given by Hanejiro, the father of Hanejiro, to his elder brother Choichiro as a birthday present thirty years ago. However, they were robbed on his birthday. While the other brothers did not move after being tied up, Tanjiro fought back hard and was beaten by the robbers instead. He died a few days later.
She thought that the matter would end there, but in the past two years, something would happen every birthday. The year before last, her third uncle Gensaburo's wife fell down the stairs and died, and last year, her father also fell from the railing and died.
Before they died, they all played this violin at birthday dinners, and this year it was her turn to play, so she was very scared and looked for detectives everywhere to find out what was going on.
Everyone looked at each other. Regarding Shitara Renxi's description, everyone thought that this was just an accident, so they didn't know how to tell her for a while.
"Then why don't you just stop pulling?" Chu Ming comforted her halfheartedly, "Don't worry, Uncle Maori has also pulled it just now. Even if there is a curse, the chances of you two being lucky are 50-50, and Uncle has always had bad luck, so you can rest assured."
???
Kogoro Maori was full of questions and looked at Chu Ming with a fierce look in his eyes.
Conan was trying to hold back his laughter and also found another way: "Yes, Sister Renxi, if the curse only happened at the dinner party, you can just not do it on your birthday and do it when you have nothing to do."
"That's impossible. Grandpa keeps a close eye on it and usually won't let us touch it. It was only after I said I wanted to practice in advance that grandpa was willing to lend it to me to play for a while." Shitara Renki put her hands on the edge of the table and looked at Maori Kogoro and Akai Shuichi seriously. "So, gentlemen, can you help me remove the curse of this harp before the dinner?"
Even Shuichi Akai was confused by this nonsensical request.
When they were wondering how to dissuade her from this idea, Conan noticed that a raging fire was burning in the annex behind them, and he jumped off the stool in a hurry: "It's on fire!"
"Oh no! Uncle Genzaburo is here, don't bother to rest!" Shitara Renki hurried out and asked the housekeeper to call the fire department.
When Chu Ming saw everyone running out anxiously, he deliberately slowed down a few steps and stayed behind. When everyone rushed towards the annex, Yuga Kyosuke suddenly ran over from the side and secretly swapped the violin in his hand with the one on the table.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw Chu Ming standing by the door, staring at him for who knows how long. He took a step back in fear: "Why are you still here?"
Chu Ming chuckled and waved his hand: "Let's not beat around the bush, Mr. Yuga, I know you want to avenge your father. You killed Genzaburo, and next you plan to kill Choichiro and his wife, right?"
Yuga Xiangsuke was stunned for a moment: "I don't understand what you are saying. Before Ren Xi plays the violin, I need to help her tune it. She took the wrong violin before. I will give it to her. I have to help put out the fire. Sir, please make way for me."
Watching him walk past him sideways, Chu Ming continued: "Your father was killed by his eldest brother and third brother, so you wanted to take revenge and planned to kill them in the order of the scale, starting from your mother Qianbo, your father Tanjiro, third aunt Yongmei, Miss Lianxi's father Jiangren... until you are the last one. But because Diaoyilang is ill and will not live long, but you don't want the scale to be disordered, so you want to end everything tonight and then commit suicide, right?"
Chu Ming told all his plans. Yuga Xiangsuke, who was about to leave, paused and turned to look at Chu Ming: "What do you want to say?"
"Mouri Kogoro is a famous detective. Your plan is impossible to complete. If you want to succeed, you have to wait until next year when Maori Kogoro is not around. But Choichiro's body can't hold out that long, right? But if you force yourself to do it today, once it's exposed, you won't be able to avenge yourself. But I can help you." Chu Ming didn't keep him in suspense. "Of course, I will take your life in the end."
"What's your purpose?" Yuga Kyosuke said with a mocking expression, "It can't be to do one good deed a day, right?"
"Because your absolute pitch will be the key to open a magic box." Chu Ming put his index finger to his lips and smiled ostentatiously, "So, I hope you won't answer the question that kid asked you before, let alone tell anyone. But what I have always believed in is that the dead are the best at keeping secrets. It just so happens that you don't want to live anymore after you've taken revenge, right?"
Yuga Kyosuke looked at Chu Ming steadily. The motivation that kept him alive all these years was to avenge his parents. Now he was a man ready to die. This matter was not a loss for him. As for whether Chu Ming had other purposes, he had no intention of understanding other people's grievances and hatreds. His own hatred had not been resolved yet, so how could he have the mood to care about others?
"Then what do you want me to do now?" Yuga Kyosuke's question was equivalent to tacitly agreeing to the conditions that Chu Ming had negotiated with him.
"You don't have to do anything. I've already arranged everything." Chu Ming raised his chin. "If you want to feel a little involved, just continue with your plan. However, I hope you remember that we have never met alone, right?"
Yuga Kyosuke gave Chu Ming a deep look and said, "Of course, I've been putting out fires all the time, so where do I find the time to communicate with anyone?"
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
Chu Ming watched his back as he left, lowered his head to send a few messages, and followed him to the villa.
