Chapter 995: It makes sense for the detective to guest-star as a wizard, right?"You just understand."
Fujino was very satisfied with this answer. He changed his mind and asked Yuga Kyosuke, "By the way, what do you think about what happened just now?"
"How about what?"
"It's about me entering the music industry." Fujino leaned towards Yuga Kyosuke and said, "I'm telling you, brother Yuga, I'm serious about what I say. I can't sing, but I have a professional piano playing certificate."
Yuga Kyosuke's face was a little stiff: "Well, if you want to enter the music industry, you must have some background. Although detectives are popular, it will probably be difficult to get involved in the music circle..."
"That's also..." Fujino said again: "Then why don't I just become your apprentice? With your name, your reputation as a talented musician can always fool people for a while, right?"
"It seems... really possible?"
Yuga Kyosuke's eyelids twitched, and he found that what the detective described seemed to be a common situation in the music circle.
New musicians are excluded and become apprentices to veteran musicians...
How does this detective know so much?
Thinking of this, Yuga Kyosuke's train of thought suddenly exploded.
Case solved!
Could it be that this detective is just coveting my reputation as a musician, so he keeps me around so he can control me at will and threaten me?
…………
Haga Kyosuke did not mention the murder case, and neither did Fujino.
The two people exchanged some ideas about the music circle and then left the bathroom.
When Shitara Renxi saw the two again, she discovered...
It seems that the detective you hired gets along pretty well with your uncle?
Hello, hey, hey, I am the client, okay!
Why are you sticking so close to my uncle?!
Shitara Renxi complained in her heart, then asked: "Um, you guys..."
Why did you spend so much time in the bathroom, and your relationship has become so good, what did you do? She only said half of the words, and the other half was held back.
After hearing this, Yuga Kyosuke came back to his senses and said, "I talked to Mr. Fujino about some music things, and we got along quite well."
"Forehead……"
Renxi Shitara looked at the two of them with a strange look: Talking about music in the bathroom? Am I, a newbie, unable to keep up with the times?
The butler Jin Qu Hongsheng beside him also looked around for a while, but he couldn't find any special hobbies of his young master...
"Cough hum!"
Fujino coughed lightly and said, "I talked to Mr. Yuga about the violin and came to some conclusions about the curse."
"Is the curse related to music?" Renxi Shitara was stunned.
Fujino then explained: "Over the years, the names of the people who died are actually related. According to Mr. Yuga, Danjiro's D, Nagami's E, Kyouto's F, Genzaburo's G, and Ayane's A. The order corresponds to CDEFGA."
"Really?" After hearing this, Renxi Shitara thought for a moment, was shocked, and then said: "Then the next one is B... B..."
"Be·nio." Jin Qu Hongsheng, the housekeeper, spoke at this time: "I think it should be my name Jin Qu Hongsheng... Speaking of which, when I first came to work here thirty years ago, the master said that after I came here to work, my family would be able to form a complete scale."
"That's a possibility." Fujino continued, "But it could also be CDEFGAH. After all, the author of the violin is European. According to the old European scale, it should be H. And according to your family's bloodline, H is also the most likely."
"H..." Shitara Renxi thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and said, "If it's H, then it's me!"
Yuga, who was standing by, was the one who proposed this sequence. He naturally knew the meaning of it and couldn't help but say, "My Yuga is also a possibility." Fujino nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's true. Both are possible."
"But now the violin has been smashed..." Jinqu Hongsheng said at this time: "Then the curse must have been lifted, right?"
"Did it break?"
Fujino looked at her curiously.
She confirmed: "Miss Lianxi and I went upstairs to check just now, and the piano has been broken into pieces..."
"not yet."
At this moment, an old voice came and interrupted her from continuing.
Everyone turned around and saw Shitara Choichiro walking towards them holding a violin.
Shitora Renxi saw the violin he was holding and looked surprised: "It's... it's a Stradivarius!"
Jinqu Hongsheng's face turned pale, and he couldn't help asking: "Master... where did you find it?"
"Of course it's behind the curtain at the head of the bed." Shitara Choichiro looked sympathetic: "That Ayane guy was so rude to it..."
Shitara Renxi shuddered: "This... could it be a curse? It was broken... and it can come back..."
As his life was at stake, Jinqu Hongsheng, the serious-looking old butler, could no longer hold back and asked Fujino, "Well... since you already know the rules, is there any way to break them?"
Fujino looked around at the two of them and silently gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
I've been waiting for you two to say this!
Fujino first thought deeply, and then seemed to have made an important decision: "I will perform a ritual."
“Ritual ceremony…?”
"Yes."
Fujino felt the surprised gazes of the crowd, and said in a deep voice with a reluctant look: "Although I am a detective, I learned a kind of family magic from my father. After all, it is unscientific, and I would not mention it normally. Moreover, this commission does not include this magic. But today it concerns human lives, so I have to use it..."
Shitara Renxi believed it without a doubt: "Master, please perform the ritual!"
"..." Yuga Kyosuke was speechless for a while, and complained in his heart: So, this detective is just cheating people out of money now?
After complaining like this, he looked at his niece again, and couldn't help but recall what Fujino said, and nodded in agreement: The detective is right, my little niece is indeed not very smart, and she is very easy to fool.
Jin Quhongsheng should be more knowledgeable about the ways of the world, but she is not the owner of this house, so she asked tentatively with a hint of reminder: "I don't know the cost of the ritual..."
"Just give me 20 million." Fujino took a deep breath and continued, "This includes the previous commission, the cost of saving people, and the cost of the current ritual... After all, doing this kind of thing will be condemned by God, and it may even overdraw your life. You should have heard of it, right?"
"Is that so?" Shitara Renxi's face turned pale, but she still believed it without a doubt. She turned to Shitara Choichiro and said, "Grandpa, please ask Mr. Fujino to do it!"
"This one……"
Shitara Choichiro frowned, lowered his eyes to glance at the violin in his hand and asked suspiciously: "You don't want to destroy my Stella Andyvari?"
Fujino: "..."
Ah, this old man is really amazing. He is not paying attention to me trying to trick him, but the violin?
"..." Yuga Kyosuke, who was standing next to him, looked at Fujino who had transformed into a mage and secretly complained in his heart: This detective is really mean. He used my plan and the name of a magic trick to cheat money, but I can't say anything...
Oh... forget it, it just happens to make them feel at ease, and it's not my money anyway.
Yuga Kyosuke thought this in his heart and chose to remain silent.
