The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 217 Absolute Pitch

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Maori, Ms. Lan." Professor Lecter chuckled, stood up and greeted them, then lowered his head, looked at Conan and said with a smile: "And little friend Conan."

"Long time no see, professor." Mao Lilan seemed very happy. She was very impressed by this gentle and knowledgeable professor.

Under Conan's expectant gaze, Mao Lilan asked the question he just wanted to ask: "Why is the professor here?"

"It's just a commission." Professor Lecter briefly explained the purpose of his visit, and then turned to ask Shitara Renxi beside him: "I wonder what troubles Miss Renxi have that require the famous Maori detective to come in person?"

Seeing how familiar the two parties were, Renxi Shitara realized that they probably knew each other, so she didn't want to hide it from Professor Lecter and planned to tell them all about her thoughts. But when she was about to speak, the door was pushed open again.

"Hey, Renxi, you can't do this. You're being lazy during practice..." A man in a suit, with gray hair combed back and a delicate mustache, walked in with a smile and patted Renxi Shitara on the shoulder.

"Aren't you going to play for your brother tonight instead of your father? Using that harp..." The person who came was Shitara Gensaburo, the third brother of the head of the family, Shitara Choichiro.

"Ah, yes!" Renxi Shitara responded loudly, somewhat nervously.

"If I make a mistake, my brother might scold me severely." Shitara Gensaburo laughed and turned to leave.

"Mr. Genzaburo, if you don't inform us before you come back, it will be very difficult for us!" Housekeeper Jinqu's tone was as stern as her appearance.

"That's too much... I interrupted my meeting for the concert and rushed back." Shitara Gensaburo frowned as if complaining, then yawned indifferently.

"Anyway, I'm going to take a nap in that room first, and wake me up when the birthday party starts like before."

"No, I will wake you up before the banquet starts." Butler Jinqu retorted loudly.

Shitara Gensaburo waved his hands impatiently, and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, you didn't mess with my room, did you?"

"No, I kept it messy to accommodate your temper. I don't want to be scolded by you for tidying up the room like my late wife did..."

The two walked away, one in front of the other.

"Is the uncle who has absolute pitch the one just now?" Conan pulled the corner of Renki Shitora's clothes and asked curiously.

He had recently heard a melody of number keys from Vermouth, and in order to find out the specific number, and also because he heard that the Shitara family that invited Uncle Mori seemed to have a talent with "absolute pitch", he followed along so actively.

"It's a pity," Shitara Renki denied with a smile, "Although Uncle Gensaburo is a famous conductor, he can't be said to have 'absolute pitch'."

"What it actually means is..." As they walked and talked, they went down the stairs and arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

By a window facing the yard, a handsome man with a sparse beard and an unruly temperament was sitting next to it and talking on the phone.

Shitara Renxi pointed to the man and said to Conan: "Actually, I'm talking about him."

"Could this person be?" Mao Lilan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, the owner of absolute pitch is him, the genius composer who has written many TV drama theme songs, Uncle Hanega Kyosuke!" Judging from Shitara Renki's expression, she seemed to admire this uncle very much.

Conan hurried over and just as Yuga Kyousuke had finished his call, he took out his own cell phone, dialed the number he had guessed, and played the "beep beep" music for Yuga Kyousuke to hear.

"Uncle, do you know what this is?"

"Hmm?" Yuga Kyosuke turned around curiously. Seeing the serious-looking kid in front of him, he smiled softly, "Are you talking about me?"

"Ah?" Conan didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Could it be that he didn't hear it clearly just now?

He was considering whether to press it again when Renxi Shitara came over.

Professor Lecter also heard the number Conan had just dialed, recognized the obvious melody of "Seven Children", and gave Conan a meaningful look from behind.

"Uncle Xiangfu, how was my performance just now?" She knew from her conversation with Maori and others that the sound of her piano practice had reached downstairs, so she asked this on a whim.

"It's very good. Although the quarter note in one place is lowered by a semitone and is different from the score, I really like this performance." Yuga Kyosuke encouraged generously and affirmed Shitara Renki's adaptation.

"Oh, really? Thank you!" Shitara Renxi's face flushed, and she felt that all her practice during this period was not in vain.

She suddenly remembered something and said to Yuga Kyosuke, "This professor also has absolute pitch. Uncle Kyosuke can communicate with him if he wants. He also has a deep understanding of music. He just helped me correct many problems in my performance!"

She was very happy for Hanega Kyosuke because this way, Uncle Kyosuke also had hope of making progress.

For a genius like him, apart from thinking on his own, only other geniuses can bring further inspiration.

"Really? That's really good news." Although Yuga Kyosuke was also very happy, he was not as excited as Shitara Renki. He just gave Professor Lecter a kind smile.

Professor Lecter nodded in response.

Conan just remembered that he had heard the professor play piano music in Tsukikage Island before, and it was also at that time that he heard the term "absolute pitch" from him...

Wait, the professor seemed to say that I have absolute pitch?

Conan pondered for a while. Although he felt that the number he guessed was correct, it would be safer to ask the professor to help confirm it again.

When Professor Lecter saw Conan walking towards him with a cell phone in his hand, he immediately saw what he was planning.

He moved half a step calmly and stood behind Mao Lilan.

In this case, if Conan wants to find him, he must pass through Mouri Ran's sight, and Mouri Ran will probably not allow him to do something wrong under her nose.

Sure enough, after Conan noticed Ran Mouri standing beside him, he thought about it and put away his phone.

Professor Lecter was satisfied.

He was too lazy to join in the fun on Conan's side, and he had no interest in helping Glenfiddich clean up the mess.

What's more, the Twilight Villa is in his hands now. If Conan sets his sights on that place in Tottori Prefecture, he can go there from time to time and kill a few people...

Although it couldn't shake the situation fundamentally, he was confident in his concealment methods, but it was still a real trouble.

It would be better if this elementary school student of the god of death was sealed in Tokyo. It would be even better if he could be confined to Beika Town.
