Crazy Detective

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yu asked,"why didn't I know?"

"Although long dan is deaf, he is a person who cares about his reputation," the old man said."This secret is known only by a few people in the group!"

Oh ...

Zhao Yu then understood that the target he was looking for was not missing an ear, but deaf! He was deaf!

Dragon Core, Dragon Core ...

There were actually foreigners with such a name. Then ... Was this person really the person he was looking for?

"It can't be?" Zhao Yu could only continue to lie,"he's not completely deaf. He should only be deaf in one ear. You don't know which one it is, do you?"

"Left ear," the old woman squinted, as if Zhao Yu was an uninvited guest,"I won't be wrong about this!" He's a violinist, and when his left ear can't hear, the pitch will be off. Only I can hear it!"

"Oh ..." Zhao Yu was excited because he had just received important information. He thought quickly and said,"during the World Tour in the 1990s, the Dragon cores were all there, right? I can't tell anything from your voice ..."

"Of course," the old man took another sip of wine and said,"a Symphony Orchestra has more than one violinist. If there is a deviation in pitch, even a professional might not be able to hear it!

"However, if it wasn't for long Dan's ear problem, he could have become the best cello player in the world. When I first joined the orchestra, he even held a cello concert!

"It's a pity, sigh ..."

"In the 1990s and 1991, you guys first went to Seoul to perform and then went to Tokyo a month later, right?" Zhao Yu asked again,"at that time, you weren't in command, were you? I really don't have any impression of you!"

"You ... I'm old, and I don't want to curse anymore." The old man glared at Zhao Yu and said,"at that time, I had been in command for several years!

"Your words really make me want to hit you. Do you really ... Not recognize me? Or is it purely a provocation?"

"No, no, no..." Zhao Yu said."To be honest, I really want to find long dan and take a picture with him. I wonder if he's ..." Zhao Yu pointed to the concert hall across the way."Is he in there?"

"He retreated a long time ago!" The old man said,"probably ... Well ... After 1995, because his condition worsened, he quit the band!

"Actually, he could also be considered to have a good start and a good end, achieving success and fame!" The old man said,"withdraw at the best time and leave no regrets! "However, he's a little weird. He doesn't have many friends. I've gone to see him a few times, but I didn't get to see him. After that, we basically cut off all contact ...

"It's just that I've seen him at the funeral of an old friend!"

"In 1995," Zhao Yu asked,"was it after the show in Toronto?"

"Right!" The old man nodded."I'm starting to believe you. You've really seen a lot of Royal Orchestra performances!"

"What do you mean by his condition is deteriorating?" Zhao Yu asked again,"other than his ears, what other problems does he have?"

"You're really, really concerned about him!" The old man took another sip, but the wine was all gone. He sighed helplessly and said,"it's just his ear. He has a rare auditory dysfunction. His right ear will slowly degenerate until he can't hear anything!

"It is said that after 1995, he had an operation to make artificial ears, but none of them were successful ... The best hearing aid could only allow him to hear a little!

"Man," Zhao Yu snapped his fingers at the waiter, then pointed at the old man and said,"get our commander your best wine! I'll pay!"

"Yes, sir!" The waiter bowed politely."May I know what you would like to drink?"

"Whiskey, my favorite!" The old man directly handed the glistening wine pot to the waiter.

"It's always been tough to be an artist!" Zhao Yu said,"the Dragon Core entered a world of silence, so her temper and personality are a little different, right?"

"That's not for sure," the old man said."It was the same before the Dragon Core became a cage! Even if he became the greatest violinist, he would still have no friends, I dare say! Hehe ..."

Because Zhao Yu had bought wine for him, the old man's hostility gradually disappeared, and he smiled.

"I remember that long dan likes Van Gogh, right?" Zhao Yu asked again.

"Eh? Is that so?" The old man said uncertainly,"why didn't I know? However, Van Gogh seemed to be missing an ear as well, right? Was it mutual appreciation? Hehehe ..."

"Where ... Where is he living now?" Zhao Yu asked again.

"I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to find him," the old man said."I haven't seen him for more than ten years. I don't even know if he's still alive!

"His old house is in backcounty, but he's already sold it!"

"Then ..." Zhao Yu asked again,"the people around you, no one has seen him?"

"Hmm ..." The old man shook his head and said,"no! But ... I don't know what's going on ... No one has asked about it for more than ten years, but in the past month, so many people have asked about it. What's ... Going on?"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised."Has anyone else been looking for dragon cores?"

"Here's the wine ..." At this time, the waiter brought back the wine pot and poured Zhao Yu a glass of whiskey.

"My precious," the old man took the wine pot and quickly took a sip. His face was full of satisfaction, and then he said,"last month, an old man came to me and asked me about the whereabouts of the Dragon Core!

"Also, the seniors in the band were all questioned one after another like me. There were even police officers ...

"Hey, you're an Asian. Why are you looking for a Dragon Core?" The old man said,"why do I feel that they don't look like his fans? Did long dan do something wrong?"

"Old man," Zhao Yu asked,"what kind of old man?" An Asian like me, or ..."

"Hmm ..." The old man said."He's a decent guy. He's either Asian or white!" He's about the same age as me, and he looks a little familiar. Oh ... And he has a thick London accent!"

"London accent?" Zhao Yu frowned and tried to recall, but he couldn't remember such a person.

Wait ...

Familiar?

Zhao Yu thought of something and quickly took out his phone. He opened the photo of the richest man in the world, londee, and showed it to the old man, asking,

"Take a look, is this the person!!?"

"Hmm ..." The old man carefully identified it, then shook his head and said,"no, that person didn't wear glasses, and he was thinner than this person! You're quite gentle with your words. Hmm ... Wait a minute, you haven't told me why you're looking for dragon cores!

"He ... What's wrong with him?"

"Dragon Core ... Hmm ..." Zhao Yu's mind was racing, and his eyes were shining. At that moment, he realized that he was about to get close to the important truth!

So, he quickly changed his mind and asked the old man,""Did long dan go to Yunzhou when he was young? Does he believe in a very special kind of sorcery?"
