The unscientific detective in Conan

"Can a tone-deaf person be this tone-deaf?" Akita Reiko looked suspiciously, "Or is there something wrong with your ears?"

"Did you suffer from deafness in your early years?"

"My ears are fine..."

"That's right, Conan is just tone-deaf!"

Ayumi first said this confidently with her hands on her waist, then, fearing that the other party would not believe her, she defended him again and said affirmatively: "He is just tone-deaf!"

Conan: “…”

No need to stress it anymore, right?

Forget it, destroy it.

"That's strange." Reiko Akiba looked at Conan who was protected by the girl behind her, her eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, she was just like Sayuri Matsumoto back then, suspecting that the little brat Conan was singing the wrong song on purpose just to attract her attention.

After all, Conan's escape has gone beyond the scope of ordinary people.

You say he can sing, but his pitch is quite high. He says he can sing, but his singing is unstable and all out of tune.

If your voice cannot adjust according to the sound you hear after singing, it's like being deaf.

It is a double torture to people both mentally and on their eardrums.

Maybe this kid is really tone-deaf.

Reiko Akiba sighed and then looked at Xiaolan: "And the sound from the piano is totally wrong too."

Xiaolan: “……?”

Why are you talking about me again?

Is there something wrong with the way I play the piano? !

Forget about the children, I also have problems.

Doesn't that mean I've been playing the piano for nothing all these years? !

Xiaolan's heart tightened, and she felt as if she was back in time when she was a child and was scolded by her music teacher.

Then, I saw Akita Reiko walk over, touch her chin and say, "The overall pitch has dropped. It must be out of tune. How long has it been since your piano was tuned?"

"ah?"

Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this.

It turns out that the problem isn't with me, but with the piano?

That’s great…

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had escaped a disaster.

Then he looked at the piano: "I don't know either... After hearing what you said, Miss Qiuting, it does seem a little strange."

"Maybe three-eighths to two-eighths of a scale are missing..."

Fujino walked forward thoughtfully and silently took out a hammer from his pocket: "I'll adjust it."

Qiuting Lianzi: "...?"

How on earth did you manage to get such a big hammer out of your suit pocket?

Also, why do you carry a hammer with you?!

Reiko Akiba silently typed a question mark, and was very puzzled by Fujino's actions.

Others were used to it and were not surprised by it.

After all, as everyone knows, Fujino's pockets and back are like Doraemon's four-dimensional pockets.

You never know what he might pull out of it.

Reiko Akita looked around and saw that no one asked.

She simply swallowed her doubts.

Finally, he paid attention to other things: "Just now when that girl was singing, you heard her tone, and now you can hear the missing notes of the piano... You don't have absolute pitch, do you?"

“That’s right!”

At this time, Sonoko raised her head and answered. Speaking of Fujino, even she couldn't help but feel proud: "Senior Fujino has an innate sense of absolute pitch!"

Reiko Akiba touched her chin when she heard this: "If that's the case, then it's the same as mine. Absolute pitch is really common nowadays."

"Ms. Qiu Ting, do you also have absolute pitch?" Xiaolan asked her curiously.

"Yes, of course."

“So that’s how it is!”

Mitsuhiko suddenly realized what was going on: "So, Miss Akiba, you are so good at singing?"

"That's not the case."

Reiko Akiba explained: "For musicians, absolute pitch is not necessary, all they need is relative pitch. Of course, this can be acquired through practice. For example, Mr. Puhe, the former piano tuner, acquired absolute pitch."

“It’s just that the acquired absolute pitch will fail as hearing declines,” Fujino added.

Reiko Akiba nodded when she heard this: "I've heard this before, too. It seems that as hearing ability declines, people with acquired absolute pitch will gradually lose their pitch, leading to errors."

Fujino thought about Puhe and Takumi. Actually, the reason why Domoto Ikki gave up the piano and played the organ and arranged for him to be the director of Domoto Concert Hall was because of Puhe and Takumi's absolute hearing loss.

He did this to protect the dignity of his old friend.

After all, if a tuner does not tune the sound accurately, it can be a fatal blow to his career.

However, he did not expect that this old friend would go to extremes.

This time, Pu and Jiang have become clowns.

All I can say is that acquired musical perception is like this, and it will become ineffective once hearing loss occurs.

This is why Kawabe Kawabe Souko sent that text message to Akiba Reiko in the first place.

Because at that time in the music practice room, the instruments that had been tuned by the scores and craftsmen had lost their accuracy.

"So what is absolute pitch?"

At this time, the other kids in Class 1-B of Teitan Elementary School became curious.

But it is obvious that their ability to learn to speak is much better than Bu Mei's.

At least I don't think of absolute tone as something else.

Immediately, after hearing the explanation, Mitsuhiko coughed lightly and jumped out directly:

“Absolute pitch is the ability to quickly recognize the name of a sound!”

“It helps a lot with music!”

Although Ayumi didn't remember what was said afterwards, she remembered the general content.

Haibara Ai glanced at the two of them and felt something was strange.

It seems like Yuan Tai is missing?

Forget it, he must have gone somewhere to get into trouble again.

Can't die.

Haibara Ai didn't pay much attention to Genta and walked slowly towards the piano.

The two people demonstrated their absolute pitch on the spot.

At this moment, Yuantai, who suddenly disappeared and sneaked away from the team, had already set his eyes on his target without any warning or hesitation.

Directly hit Reiko Akiba's small kettle.

Fujino glanced out of the corner of his eye and directly saw Yuanta, who was sneaking around and thought he was hiding well.

This little one is addicted to birth, right?

Fujino sighed in his heart, feeling helpless.

"These are the only suggestions I can give you. The rest is up to you to practice on your own."

"Come back to me when you can sing better."

Reiko Akiba and Fujino demonstrated their absolute pitch, then turned around, walked over, picked up their bags and prepared to leave.

After all, this was all she could teach. These kids had not received any professional training and there was nothing to teach them. The most she could do was give them some guidance so that their chorus could be more harmonious.

Besides, she also said that I should come back to her when I can sing better.

If it's just perfunctory, just turn around and leave.

She is the type of person who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

That's what we often call tsundere.

“Huh?!”

"Are you leaving now?"

The kids from Class 1-B present were a little disappointed.

Huiyuan Ai tilted her lips, and immediately came up with an idea. She said to her in a coquettish but not at all coquettish tone: "Why don't you demonstrate it to us before you go back?"

"……?"

When Reiko Akiba heard this, she was stunned for a moment as she took the bag.

Sing... this extremely embarrassing nursery rhyme?

Are you kidding me? I sang and it happened to be recorded. Is that any good?

This little girl is really scheming.

She acted like a spoiled little girl, trying to make me stay and embarrass myself.

Not only does he not sing like a child, he also acts like an adult when performing routines...

Since you are an adult...

As Akita Reiko thought about this, she tilted her lips slightly and chuckled, "So, how much do you plan to pay?"

“Huh?!”

As soon as Reiko Akiba opened her mouth, I knew she was the old music teacher.

All the little ones at the scene were stunned.

Xiaolan and Sonoko were also stunned, a little confused by each other's hot and cold attitude.

There was no sign of the secret confrontation between the two 'queens', one big and one small in personality.

This kind of reaction from everyone was within Akita Reiko's expectations.

She left with a few words full of professional philosophy and turned away: "A so-called professional singer is a singer who will never sing if he doesn't get paid."

Yuanzi: “…”

This gentleman's attitude towards money is really quite like that of Mr. Fujino.

So how much does it cost for you to sing?

Just name a price before you go...

The wealthy Yuanzi complained in his heart.

Reiko Akiba, who was about to leave the classroom, opened her bag and suddenly stopped.

The other little ones also noticed something was wrong.

"Where's my tea?"

"Where's Yuanta?"

…………

It is well known that Yuantai is a foodie.

The type who can never get enough of anything he eats and is not good at anything he does.

Sometimes you have to be at the forefront of seeking death.

He is exactly like the first born in the Junior Detective Team.

In keeping with his small-time personality, today he set his sights directly on Reiko Akiba's tea.

Ever since being rejected the day before yesterday, Yuantai has been thinking about this tea.

Today he found the opportunity, and he, Kojima Genta, managed to get some drinks from that stingy old lady!

Thinking this in his mind, he turned into a sneaky mouse, crouched down and stared at Reiko Akiba's bag, then quickly walked forward, opened it, and took out the thermos cup inside.

Then quickly ran to the corner to taste it:

"I'm starting!"

"What are you starting?"

Yuanta was holding the lid of the thermos in his hand and was about to drink it, when he heard a familiar voice and turned around. He saw Fujino's face, whose face was as dark as bourbon, appear behind him, with a kind smile on his face that Huihara Ai often showed.

“Ugh…!”

Yuantai was startled by Fujino's sudden appearance.

The tea in his hand fell directly to the ground.

Fujino took a deep breath, grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him up, then turned around and kicked him.

He directly kicked Yuantai’s dream of drinking tea into pieces.

Yuantai was kicked away by this kick, and he screamed twice on the ground, crying out in pain.

"well……"

Fujino couldn't help but sigh as he watched him rolling on the ground like a kicked dog.

In his impression, the water in Reiko Akiba's cup should have been poisoned by Pu and Jiang.

After all, she was the fiancée of his deceased son and his future daughter-in-law. Pu Hejiang did not use any fatal poison. He only gave her a medicine that would inflame the throat and cause a hoarse voice.

Although it is just a chemical reagent that makes the voice hoarse.

But who knows if there will be deviations and it will be replaced with something else.

Don't fucking change it to cyanide to poison this guy to death.

I can only say that this kid Yuantai is really a bear.

Others secretly want to drink from the personal water bottle that touches their lips.

It is true that there is no tutor.

For a normal person, getting kicked would be the least of his problems.

But Yuantai is a bit of a beast.

But it is at least a life.

Fujino couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The main thing is that if this kid dies, the river crab god will strike hard.

“Really…”

Reiko Akiba was also a little helpless about Genta's behavior.

It's just tea, even if I don't give it to you, I won't steal it...

If I hadn't been so mean and had praised my sister with sweet words, maybe she would have let me drink a few sips.

I can only say that this is what tsundere is like.

Be soft and don't be hard.

Reiko Akiba thought to herself, and at the same time couldn't help but look at Fujino in surprise.

This guy is really too violent...

Even if you wanted to drink someone else's tea secretly, you wouldn't kick them so hard.

It has some properties of hyperthyroidism.

Although he was the victim, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the child when he saw the child being beaten like this.

Thinking this in her mind, she wanted to pick up the tea on the ground.

But Fujino suddenly stopped him with his hand: "Don't move, the tea smells bad."

“Smell…?”

I brushed my teeth this morning...

No brush?

It should have a brush, so it won’t smell bad.

Upon hearing this, Reiko Akiba suddenly became confused, and her mind kept recalling whether she had forgotten to brush her teeth this morning while she was half asleep.

As she was thinking, Fujino continued in a deep voice: "The tea was poisoned."

"Poison?!"

Reiko Akita was stunned again, and at the same time she felt relieved.

It turns out to be something poisonous, not that I have a foul mouth...

It seems that I should brush my teeth in the morning...

No, how can there be poison in tea?

This should be my tea, right?!

Only then did Akiba Reiko react and her face suddenly changed.

Looking at Fujino in front of him, he was stunned and felt that it was a bit more outrageous.

I just told you to be careful of almond poison yesterday, and now we are really poisoned?

Are you a prophet or a curse master?

The coincidence is so outrageous. Why do I have a vague feeling that you did it?

Fujino took out white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then picked up the cup: "When I smelled the tea just now, I felt a pungent odor in it. Do you want to smell it?"

“Smell?”

Akita Reiko was puzzled for a moment, then she stuck her head out and sniffed from a distance: "Is there anything?"

"You can't smell it, that's right. It must have been poisoned."

Fujino nodded when he heard that, and took out an evidence bag, screwed the teacup in, and said, "I will seize this teacup for now, and send it to the Metropolitan Police Department for testing later."

"oh……"

Reiko Akiba nodded woodenly, her eyes moving towards the evidence bag and the white gloves.

But that's not the point.

So, how did they get these two things out? !

What else is in your pocket?!

Also, I could smell the odor from such a distance, this sense of smell...

I always feel that with the other party's logic, it's a bit like a high school student trying to secretly snatch the water bottle of a beautiful idol sister and kiss her secretly and indirectly.

Reiko Akiba had countless things she wanted to complain about, but in the end she couldn't say them out loud.

He just glanced at the naughty kid rolling on the ground next to him.

Suddenly I felt that the kick was not that heavy.
