The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

Things took a turn for the worse and developed very quickly. Even Mouri Kogoro, who stepped forward to confirm the life and death of Shitara Kanone, had not had time to dial the police call. The scene had already developed into a confrontation between Haga Kyosuke and Shitara Tiaoichiro.

Looking at the two people facing each other at this moment, everyone realized belatedly that everything that happened tonight might have been intentional by Haga Kyosuke.

"So, there was something fishy about his father's death back then?" Putting the task of calling the police to his daughter, Mouri Kogoro approached the two people in the confrontation to observe the next development, and made a very basic inference, "Haga Kyosuke is Did you come to the banquet for this purpose?"

"Is that why my uncle chose to play "Requiem"?" Renki Shitara, whose makeup was stained from crying, whispered in despair.

"Hmm..." Mouri Kogoro glanced back at Shitara Ayane's body, which was already confirmed to be dead and was slowly losing body temperature, and then looked at the pool of blood left by Shitara Genzaburo's head under the steps.

If he hadn't been concerned about Renki Shitara's emotions, he would have come to a further conclusion with great certainty, that is, he chose this piece of music as a performance piece not only to express provocation, but maybe also to fight against the death of these people. The truth is inseparable.

However, there are video references for the whole process of Uzuru Saburo's fall. The most Kyosuke Haga can say is that he disguised himself to look more like his father, which is suspected of inducing the other party to act. From the beginning to the end, he repeatedly touched There is no sound at all.

Shitara Kanon even climbed to the second floor and fell over the railing in front of everyone. Kyosuke Haga stood on the stage and played immersedly during the whole process. It was impossible to do anything to her death. put one's oar in.

Haga Kyosuke must be a returned avenger, an angry son who wants to seek justice for his father and mother, but whether he is a murderer or not, it is impossible to make a conclusion now.

Over there, Haga Kyosuke was holding three pianos with both hands steadily, his hawk-like gaze fixed on Shitara Oichiro's face, his emotions were very exposed.

It was obvious that he hated the stooped old man in front of him.

"Where did you get those replicas..." Looking at the three pianos, Shitara Tiaoyilang completely ignored the reaction of the crowd and shouted with a slightly distorted face.

He was naturally familiar with Stradivari.

Even during the decades it was sealed, he would go to the storage room from time to time, appreciate and play with it, touch its moist wooden surface inch by inch, and feel the elegance and tranquility transmitted through time.

So when he couldn't tell which of the three was authentic at a glance, his belated fear almost reached its peak.

If he had not come into close contact with this piano, it would be impossible to imitate it to this extent. It was also because he came into contact with the piano and had a familiar violin maker that he loved the piano so much that he wanted to On the grounds that he wanted to make a replica so as not to damage the original instrument, he asked the other party to make a copy while he was borrowing the piano.

However, the flaws left by the replica were still obvious, so Shitara Danjiro saw through them at a glance.

Now, Kyosuke Haga has only been exposed to the piano for less than a week. How did he make this piano?

The storage room is connected with the master bedroom. Except for him and his wife, others have no chance to enter...

"Where did I get it? I saw it from your deeply twisted souls." Even at the moment when the truth was revealed, Haga Kyosuke did not show too much hysteria, he just sneered, "You are so dangerous I killed my father, and also my mother, just to keep this piano as my own. However, after the piano really came into your hands, unfortunate things happened one after another. It was obvious that you were forcing yourself on something that did not belong to you. It's the same thing. But even after thirty years, you still refuse to repent. What do you think of human life? And what do you think of your relatives? "

After Haga Kyosuke exposed the most secretive past in public, Shitara's face turned blue and white, looking even more depressed than when there was an accident at the venue earlier.

At this moment, he gritted his teeth and forced his attention to the piano in Haga Kyosuke's hand.

"You said that if I find out which one is the real Stradivarius, you will return it to me?"

He has been obsessed with it for so many years. In his later years, he has obviously fallen into a deeper obsession, almost going crazy. Except for this precious piano, it seems that there is nothing else left in his brain.

Haga Kyosuke stared at his old face, which was full of age spots and wrinkles, and couldn't even make a mocking expression.

He had fantasies about them and wanted to hear an answer and apology from them, but he thought too much.

"Yes, I keep my word. As long as you can find it, I will return it to you and never mention who it should belong to."

As soon as the melody of the musical instrument sounded, he immediately took two steps forward and reached out to touch the piano in the piano case. Soon the expression on his face froze.

They were different from the imitations that he imagined were highly similar. When he looked closely at these three pianos, he found that they were all unique and different.

What Haga Kyosuke is holding in his right hand is the piano he just played on. Even if there is no high-brightness spotlight on the stage, it still seems to be shining. The fine and dense reflections make the whole piano shine. , you can literally see colorful spots of light on the paint surface.

The lids of the two cases he held in his left hand were opened, and the bodies of the instruments were firmly fixed in the base of the cases. The one on top was also very exquisite and smooth, with a mirror-like panel that could almost reflect a person's shadow, and the pegs were simple in color, full of quiet beauty.

The lower one did not look much different, but the bridge and tailpiece had a strange bright color. He reached out and touched the neck of the instrument, which was as delicate as a baby's skin, and it felt gentle and warm.

Almost at the moment of touching them, Shitara Choichiro, who had been dealing with Stradivari for half his life, dared to assert that they were all authentic.

In other words, even if there were differences, they were most likely made by the same person as the original instrument.

Yuga Kyosuke might not be making imitations. He might have purchased two unknown other works of Antonio Stradivari from special channels, but they were very similar to the original instruments, so they looked almost the same.

This legendary artist and luthier made more than a thousand instruments in his lifetime, but there are only five or six hundred pieces on the market that can be confirmed to be his own works. If Yuga Kyosuke spared no expense and made every effort to purchase them, he might really find an unknown posthumous work.

With such a violin as a foundation, after getting in touch with the one in their house, he carved the violin extra to make it more similar, and a week was enough.

No matter which one he chose, it would be right, all of them were "Stradivarius".

After finding a reasonable explanation for the scene in front of him in his heart, Shitara Choichiro was actually relieved.

He touched left and right, looking like he was hesitant and couldn't choose his authentic one, but in fact, his heart had already entered the stage of picking and choosing like buying goods.

What he needed was a famous violin, and it didn't matter whether it was the original one. Judging from Yuga Kyosuke's performance just now, the sound quality of this seemingly true violin might be even better.

Yuga Kyosuke was making trouble for his father's affairs. His appeal was to know the truth of the year and reveal it to everyone. If he made the wrong choice, he would only be more proud, declare himself a failure, and then start to tell the past.

...But so what?

He is 72 years old, and everyone involved in the case is dead. At his age, it is impossible for the procuratorate to be willing to prosecute him, and the case has long passed the statute of limitations.

Even if he admits it, what does it matter? Now the important thing is that as long as he makes a choice, the other two "imitations" made to confuse him can be judged as "fakes" with his persistence, and then lose their original value.

What he wants is always the best one.

So what he should do now is to choose the best and most suitable one from the three...

His emotional changes are so obvious, how can Yuga Kyosuke, who is standing in front of him and looking at him coldly, not feel it?

Yuga Kyosuke couldn't help but clench his hands on the piano for a moment, and once again felt unfamiliar and disappointed with this family that has been completely infected by desire.

Stradivari seems to be the starting point of the quarrel between brothers and the mutual harm between relatives, and the fuse that triggered everything. However, if you look at the faces of these people carefully, even if there is no such violin, the tragedy of that year should still happen sooner or later.

People whose minds are corrupted by greedy evil spirits have turned from human beings into materialistic ghosts, and they are cold at the sight of them.

"This one, this one is Stradivari!" Under his gaze, Shitara Choichiro finally made a decision, grabbed the one he had just played in his right hand, and said his conclusion.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to reach out his hand, and his dry fingers tightly grasped Yuga Kyosuke's arm, ready to hold it in his arms.

Unexpectedly, Yuga Kyosuke had no intention of stopping him at all, but instead lightly let go of his hand.

So Shitara Choichiro, who had tried his best to snatch it, fell to the ground instead, and screamed in pain.

His body was already failing, and he was able to live to this day entirely on drugs. If he hadn't fallen on a red carpet for welcoming guests, he might have died.

"Grandpa!" Shitara Renxi exclaimed, and hurried forward to support Shitara Choichiro, who couldn't even lift his head.

Maori Kogoro and Karasawa and others followed closely behind her, and hurriedly helped Shitara Choichiro sit up to make sure he had no problems such as fractures.

Ignoring Shitara Choichiro's painful wails, Yuga Kyosuke pointed to the piano he was holding in his arms and gave the final verdict: "This is not your piano. I know what you are thinking. You think this piano might be better than yours, so you can't wait to choose it, thinking that as long as there is a piano, it doesn't matter whether it's yours. But, unfortunately..."

Karasawa, who was supporting him with both hands, was checking whether his arm was injured, and his hand accidentally brushed Shitara Choichiro's wrist.

Shitara Choichiro felt a moment of emptiness in his arms, and lowered his head. He was horrified to find that the beautiful and smooth surface of the violin in his arms began to crack, and the panel that exuded charming brilliance lost its luster and began to slowly break along the position of the sound hole.

As soon as it fell into Shitara Choichiro's arms, it seemed to wither directly, quickly damaged and withered, and soon became as old as him.

"This is impossible, this is impossible...!" Shitara Choichiro screamed in disbelief and pain with a hoarse voice, "This is not true..."

His brain had stopped thinking, but everyone around him who saw this scene was shocked.

They watched with their own eyes as this intact violin decayed bit by bit. How did Yuga Kyousuke do it? Magic? Special materials? Visual dislocation?

Conan reached out his hand in disbelief and touched the cracked side of the violin. Feeling the rough fracture of the wood surface, he was sure that this was really a damaged violin.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuga Kyousuke with a cold expression, and then looked at Asai Masashi who was standing not far behind him, and narrowed his eyes.

Starting from Yuga Kyousuke's father, the first letters of the names of the deceased in this family happened to be DEFGA...

It was really hard for him to believe that this was a pure coincidence, but if he wanted to use this to judge that Yuga Kyousuke was the murderer, he lacked evidence.

Just like this violin that suddenly broke, the only person with a motive was Yuga Kyousuke, and everyone's suspicion pointed to him, but there was no evidence.

Yuga Kyosuke didn't even touch the two dead people tonight, and the piano was transferred in everyone's sight without any visual obstruction.

The only possible time to replace it might be when Shitara Choichiro fell down. Because he instinctively protected the piano in his arms and curled up, it did leave everyone's sight for a short time, but Shitara Choichiro himself had no reason to replace it...

When Conan was puzzled, Tang Ze, the instigator squatting beside him, retracted his fingertips as if nothing had happened, pretending that he was just an enthusiastic passerby.

Why was this piano damaged in front of everyone?

Because this was something his teammate had just taken out of Shitara Choichiro's own hall.

Generally speaking, the secret treasure of the palace will have one form before leaving the palace, and another form after leaving the palace. In the palace, it will be closely related to the environment of the palace and the state of mind of the palace owner. If the image of the palace owner is a king, then the secret treasure is likely to be in the shape of a crown, but after returning to reality, it will only be consistent with the real source of desire in reality and change into its appearance.

So, when the violin from Shitara Choichiro's palace returned to reality, Shitara Choichiro, who was crying while holding Shitara Ayane's broken violin, naturally felt in his subconscious that his treasure had been damaged.

The violin naturally broke along with it.

The product of the cognitive world will be "collapsed into reality" the moment it enters reality, so it will only maintain this form.

As for how it was changed...

The leader of the Phantom Thieves, who had studied with Kidd for a while, rarely uses a commuter bag to cover up his things. His technique is very proficient, and he is a magician who can perform super close-up magic.

"My zither, my zither..." Shitara Choichiro trembled as he touched it, feeling the judgment that seemed to come from fate, and couldn't help but let out a painful howl of collapse.

All the sounds around him could no longer enter his ears, Shitara Choichiro covered his chest and fell straight down.

His eyes became more and more blurred and turbid, and all the noises slowly formed the same sentence, and the voices of all people, young and old, seemed to be saying the same sentence to him.

It was as if everyone in their family fell to death like fate, just like his wife and the zither in her arms that fell to the ground with a bang, this was the real curse from it...

This voice was saying -

"Things that don't belong to you, even if you take them away, don't belong to you."

Shitara Choichiro, who had long been overwhelmed and was almost acting with the power of his last breath, closed his eyes and fell into the inevitable death unwillingly and painfully.
