Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"I brought her back," Okiya Subaru thought of Chi Feichi's acuity and didn't want to lie at this time and arouse Chi Feichi's suspicion. He smiled calmly and said, "Yesterday I saw the little lady mysteriously As I left on my skateboard, I was a little curious, wondering if she might have encountered some incident. Plus, I didn’t have much to do yesterday, so I drove to follow her..."

Dr. A Li felt that this matter was a bit strange, and that it might not be as simple as what the three of them said, so he leaned close to Haihara Ai's ear and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ai, why on earth did you follow Fei Chi yesterday? If you want to know who Fei Chi is going to visit, why not just ask him to take you there?"

Haihara Ai pretended to be calm and calm, and answered Dr. A Li in a low voice, "It's just because he said that he didn't tell the other party in advance that he would take care of the child and that he didn't plan to take me with him, so I wanted to follow him secretly to have a look. "

Seeing Haibara Ai's frank face, Dr. A Li was not sure whether he was overthinking it or whether it was just three people playing a tracking game out of boredom. He complained with some suspicion, "You were all like this yesterday. Are you free?"

Over there, Subaru Okiya was still talking to Chi Feichi, "Actually, there was a problem with the previous experimental data. I need to reorganize the data recently, but I am not as busy as before..."

Dr. Agasa looked at Subaru Okiya and Chi Feichi, who were also communicating calmly. The more he looked, the more he felt that maybe he was overthinking. He suppressed the doubt in his heart and focused on what Subaru Okiya said. "Is there something wrong with the experimental data? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Thank you for your kindness," Subaru Okiya responded with a smile, "However, those data cannot be known to people other than those participating in the experiment for the time being."

Haibara Ai:"……"

This guy shouldn't be a real engineering graduate student, right?

He can fool people without blushing or heartbeat, just as cunning as Brother Fei Chi.

If she spends more time with two people, she should be able to become good at pretending, right?

…

The four of them replaced the soundproof glass, played music indoors, and stood outside to feel the soundproofing effect. After confirming that the soundproofing effect was much better than before, they returned indoors.

Dr. Ali asked Chi Feichi and Okiya Subaru to sit wherever they pleased, and went to the tea table to pour tea.

Chi Feichi sat in front of the piano, opened the email sent by Odagiri Toshiya on his mobile phone, downloaded the video attached to the email, and clicked play.

"It's "Stop the World,"" Dr. Ali recognized the song as soon as he heard the intro. He hummed along with the music, stopped and listened to the boyish voice of the male singer in the music, and commented with a smile. , "Is this a cover version by a male singer? It sounds very good!"

"It was a cover by a newcomer from THK company," Chi Feichi explained. "Min also wanted to cultivate a young, handsome, boyish male singer, and asked me to help write two songs with a fresh style. I want to listen to them first. With the new voice, consider what kind of music to compose..."

Haihara Ai went to the kitchen table to help Dr. A Li serve tea, "Do you have a clue now?"

"Already a little bit."

Chi Feichi listened to the three songs that Odagiri Toshiya sent to him. After that, while recalling the songs in his memory, he used the software on his mobile phone to record the music scores. When he was unsure, he simply played a few songs on the piano. Music, assist yourself in restoring the music scores in your memory.

Dr. Ali saw that Chi Feichi was busy with something, so he put a cup of tea for Chi Feichi on the table next to the piano, and sat on the sofa to chat with Subaru Okiya.

Okiya Subaru and Haibara Ai looked at Chi Feichi's focused look, and did not disturb Chi Feichi. They chatted with Dr. Ali, wondering whether they should test Chi Feichi again today. .

After half an hour, Subaru Okiya saw that Chi Feichi was still immersed in the music. After thinking about it, he felt that he could test Chi Feichi in other ways in the future, or find a way to extract information from Haibara Ai. Without wasting any more time, he said hello to Dr. Ali, said goodbye and left.

Chi Feichi recorded all the scores of different instruments in a song, adjusted the instrument settings in the mobile phone software, and played the simplified version of the instrument mix, ready to listen to see if there was any disharmony in the overall music.

In the prelude, the piano sound formed a brisk but not noisy melody, fresh, soft, light and clean. Dr. Ali, who was watching TV, immediately muted the TV program and turned his head in surprise to look in the direction of Chi Feichi.

Haibara Ai also focused on the music being played.

This is a piece of music that can feel the freshness as soon as you hear the prelude. Listening to the piano sound, she seemed to see the midsummer in someone's memory.

The shadows of trees swayed outside the window, and the windows were filled with greenery and vitality.

Later, as other musical instruments were added, the wind outside the window continued to get stronger, and the tree shadows swayed with the wind, performing a dance full of vitality with their branches, but the dreamlike hazy aura always existed, making people feel no danger at all. and nervous, just want to quietly stare at the green light and shadow outside the window.

After a while, the passionate music gradually became calmer, as if it had returned to the previous state of gentle breeze outside the window...

"Buzz...buzz..."

The phone vibrated, interrupting the music.

Chi Feichi looked at the caller ID page on his phone and answered the call, "Yue Shui..."

A call from Koshimi Nanatsuki ended the music time.

Chi Feichi communicated with Koshizu Nanatsuki the address of the barbecue restaurant where the dinner was held, hung up the phone, and while checking whether the music score was saved, told Dr. Agasa and Haibara Ai the address.

"They will be there in about twenty minutes. Kogoro Mouri is playing small steel balls at a small steel ball shop nearby. I will drive you there and call Teacher Maori nearby..."

Chi Feichi confirmed that the music scores were saved in the mobile app and stood up from the piano, "This way everyone can meet at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant."

Dr. A Li nodded, paying more attention to the music just now. Seeing Chi Feichi put away his phone, he said with emotion, "It's really amazing, Fei Chi! I was listening to that piece of music just now. , I felt as if I was standing on an open grass field, with the wind blowing through the grass field. I looked around and saw rolling green waves everywhere..."

Kusano?

Haibara Ai did not expect that Dr. Ali was different from what she thought. When thinking about the shadow of the trees outside the window, she unexpectedly remembered that it was a scenery she had seen before.

It was when she went to school alone in the United States.

One day, she was walking in the campus corridor and saw the vibrant green light and shadow through the window, which made her forget the loneliness and depression in her heart at that time, and made her willing to stop and stay behind the window for a while.

What she 'saw' while listening to the music just now turned out to be a memory hidden deep in her mind.

The same should be true for the Doctor, right? The doctor once saw a field of grass full of vitality, and his heart was soothed at that moment. Later, as time passed, he slowly forgot about the field of grass. It was not until he listened to the music just now that the doctor saw it under the guidance of the music. The memories of my past made me feel the beauty of soothing my soul again.

"I'm relieved because the audition evaluation is so good," Chi Feichi followed Dr. A Li to the door, "But Doctor, isn't the 'remarkable' evaluation a bit exaggerated?"

Dr. Ali immediately declared seriously, "I'm not kidding, and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest!"

Haibara Ai also walked towards the door and reminded Dr. Ali to think back, "Doctor, is the grass field you mentioned the scenery you have seen before?"

Dr. A Li was stunned for a moment and recalled it carefully.

"It sounds like..."

Soon, a relieved smile appeared on Dr. Ali's face, "I remembered that it was when I was still in school. At that time, the city was not as prosperous as it is now. There used to be a wasteland with lush wild grass near Tokyo. I I went there with my classmates during the summer vacation. We ran around in the grass. After we were tired, I stood on a high ground and looked at the green waves blown by the wind in front of me. At that time, I felt that the scenery was so beautiful... It turned out that That’s right, it turns out to be there.”
