The flash of the camera lit up the luxuriously decorated columns.

There are huge words on the banner hanging from one pillar to another.

I wish the Huaihai Art Theatre completed.

On the eve of the opening ceremony concert

The newly-built Music Theatre-Huaihu Art Theatre.

It is particularly noteworthy that the hall of the theater is said to be a real concert hall specially designed for holding classical music.

In addition, the new Imperial Capital Symphony Orchestra took Huaihu Art Theatre as the main venue and became a hot topic.

The New Imperial Capital Symphony Orchestra is one of the most popular and powerful orchestras in Japan. It regularly performed in the newly-built theater, causing a small sensation among classical music fans.

There is another thing that has attracted almost everyone's attention, not only in the classical music world. ......

So, tonight-

The first concert to celebrate the completion of the theater will be held in a week. At this time, a grand party called "New Year's Eve Festival" is being held in the banquet hall of Huaihai City Hotel.

In addition to people related to the theater and the concert, a large number of media have gathered.

At the center of the reporter's encirclement is a couple.

This woman's name is Otsu Hewei. At the age of 25, she is already the chief violinist of the New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra.

She is slim, dressed in an elegant evening dress and has an elegant smile on her lips, just like the image of this gorgeous party tonight.

But ..... the hero of that day was the man standing beside her.

He looks about the same age as Otsu Hewei, maybe a little older. He has a slender figure, broad shoulders and a fair face-handsome people are easily attracted to sex.

Blow in the morning.

A young conductor who won many gold medals in international competitions.

How can the media let such a striking figure go? His activities were enthusiastically reported by magazines and TV, and now his popularity is no less than that of ordinary idol stars.

Just a few days ago, Zhao Cui was announced as the permanent conductor of the new Imperial City Symphony Orchestra. At the same time, he announced the news of his engagement with He Wei of Daxie.

The prince and princess born in classical music-

Such a couple should be in the spotlight. Besides, it is the first time that they have appeared in public after their public affair, so it is not surprising that such a party is surrounded by many flashlights today.

Facing the seemingly endless flash, Chao Chui frowned slightly.

Between the blower and the camera-

"Hey, everybody, that's enough, that's enough!"

An elderly man came in, tall and neatly trimmed. He looks very dignified.

"Mr Otsu, please let us ..."

The reporter begged, but the man named Osuga said, "Please let them enjoy today's party first. In return, I will arrange some interview time for you after the party. "

Otsuga glanced at Zhao Chui and Wei, as if asking for their permission.

Just nodded slightly.

At the urging of Mr. Dazu, the reporters gradually lifted the encirclement and dispersed outside the venue, presumably to prepare for the interview after the party.

Osuga sighed and turned to Vivian, who gave him a smile.

Dayu also smiled and nodded at Wei. His full name is He Pingxiu and he has a big beard.

He is a professor at Didu Music University and the chief producer of Huaihu Art Theatre.

He is the only real father.

He stretched out his right hand and blew it. ......

"So, finally it's my turn to say this sentence. Congratulations on your appointment as the conductor of the new Imperial City Symphony Orchestra! "

The wind shook Dayu's hand and said:

"Thank you!"

"Daughter, please."

"Yes, my father-in-law. Actually, I should ask you to look after me. "

Chao Chui answered with a smile. Wei blushed and approached him quietly.

At this time, the person next to loudly say

"Congratulations."

A young woman was holding a big bunch of flowers and blowing them in her face.

"I'm so excited! I can share this wonderful moment with Mr. Chao Chui! "

"thank you ... who's calling?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, this is the first time we met. My name is Chunnai Nakano. "

This female character, Nakano Harunai, blushed and replied.

Sunny Nai works in the office of the New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra. She is 24 years old. It is said that she chose a job related to classical music because she worships blowing. She is a die-hard fan.

She looks very excited, and she can finally talk face to face with Chao Chui this time.

Then say it again-thank you, Miss Sunny Nai.

Zhao Cui took the bouquet.

What a big bunch of flowers.

Yes, including Keiko's.

When the name of [Reiko Kobayakawa] appeared, there was a crack in the original harmonious atmosphere. Is it a psychological effect-

Like Sunny Nai, Keiko Digg was once a staff member of the Bureau of the New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra. The so-called [once] means that Keiko Cai died ten days ago.

Indeed, it seems that this unlucky name should not be mentioned at such a happy party.

Sunny nai seems to realize that I put my foot in my mouth, and there is an uneasy expression on her face.

However, it was a gentle smile:

Yes ... I'm really sorry about Keiko. ]

[Well, it was an accident] Wei echoed.

Sunny nai see two people's expression seems to put down the heart, nodded and said:

Keiko, if she were here today, I don't know how happy she would be. ]

[Oh, really? ]

Just after listening, he cocked his head and thought about it.

Yes, he once told me that he looked happy, so I remember it clearly. I didn't expect such an accident to happen ...]

Really ... I think I can perform with her on a new stage. That's a real pity. ]

I only lowered my eyes.

Like Wei, Keiko is also a violinist. But unlike the only lead violinist, he is just a substitute. The number of appearances is limited, so it is better to say that the work of the bureau is a little more for her.

Yoshinori ohsumi spoke carefully.

[Hmm ... Let this opening meeting be a complete success for the sake of the dead Miss Keiko. ]

1. Huaihai Art Theatre

In the vast space, there is a lush green.

The colored floor tiles on the passage are arranged in geometric figures on the left and right, and street lamps like antique gas lamps are arranged on both sides. Walk slowly. ......

With the boundless blue sky in September as the background, the chalky palace shows its beautiful figure.

-Huaihu Art Theatre.

Small blue looked up and let out a whoop of joy.

[wow! How beautiful! ]

[Like a castle! ]

Conan also sighed.

The theater is designed like a stone palace in Europe, which is very simple. It is a newly completed building, but it looks very historic.

Hey, you two don't make such a fuss. What a pity! ]

Kogoro watched with a frown.

Invited is the famous detective Richard Moore. You just followed us to watch the fun. Be honest. ]

Small blue unconvinced retorted:

[what ah. No, dad, you said you didn't have any research on classical music, so you want me to go with you? ]

[Ah, this ...]

-Richard Moore and Xiaolan, father and daughter, plus Edokawa Conan.

The three of them were invited to attend the opening concert of Huaihai Art Theatre tonight, which was performed by the New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra.

As it was a formal classical concert, Xiaolan wore a crimson dress, and Kogoro certainly wore a black dress.

Only Conan wore a blue jacket and a bow tie, almost as usual.

Conan looked up at Kogoro and said:

Besides, isn't it strange that my uncle received an invitation to the concert? ......

No matter how famous my uncle is, detectives and concerts are out of reach ...]

[Idiot, my fame has crossed the boundaries of this field and let everyone know; Me! ]

Smiling proudly, Kogoro took out an envelope from his inner pocket, which read [Invitation Letter].

He took out the writing paper inside and read:

I often hear your wonderful reasoning on TV and newspapers, which is really admirable. Please attend the concert and submit an invitation. Osho Ping Embroidery]

Kogoro's triumphant face seemed to say, I'm fine anyway.

[So, who is this bearded Ping Xiu? ]

[This ... seems to have heard this name somewhere. ]

Oh, you'll know when you go! Kogoro ended the conversation with his usual irresponsible attitude. He turned to look at Xiaolan.

[Having said that, Xiaolan, don't bring a kid to Conan specially, right? If you hadn't said you would bring him, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble ...]

There are only two concert tickets in the invitation envelope, and the third one is specially called by Kogoro. However, there are vacancies, and the other party's attitude is quite polite. Not as troublesome as Kogoro said.

Small blue touched Conan's head and said:

It is because Conan is tone deaf that he has such a good chance to get in touch with elegant music. Of course, he should be taken, right, Conan? ]

[well! ]

On the surface, it sounds full of energy, but Conan is shouting in his heart [how much you care! ]。

Indeed, Conan has no interest in the music field.

Kogoro took the lead, and Xiaolan and Conan walked up the front stone steps and passed through the big glass door at the entrance.

As long as you put your feet into the lobby, there will be a cool breeze blowing against your face under the refrigeration of air conditioning, which reminds people once again that although it is the golden breeze season, it is still summer outside.

After showing coupons to the staff in black, the three were taken to the counter on the left.

This time it was the receptionist in purple uniform, smiling.

She pointed to the brochure on the counter.

Would you please register your name here? ]

[What is this? ] Hearing Kogoro's question, the receptionist smiled kindly.

[It's the guest roster. Invited guests, please be sure to sign ...]

[Ah ah, so that's it. ]

Kogoro nodded and picked up the pen next to him.

Xiaolan followed after writing her name, holding Conan in her hands.

[Come, Conan, write down your name, too. ]

In this way, Conan finally wrote his name in the guest book. Because of the unstable posture, the handwriting is quite scrawled.

Forget it, if you think it's a pupil's handwriting, that's just right.

The receptionist who confirmed the names of the three people said, [Are you Mr. Maori? ]

[yes. ]

The additional child tickets you requested are also ready. ]

[Ah, speaking of which, didn't you say you picked it up at the reception desk on the phone? ]

I'm very sorry ...]

What the receptionist said was that the seats arranged in advance had been changed and moved back greatly.

This is our sudden request, so it doesn't matter ... after all, a good seat for three people side by side should have been sold long ago. ]

No, it's not that ...]

Here, the receptionist gave Conan a trembling look.

I see. ] Xiaolan nodded and explained to Kogoro and Conan.

In order to prevent the performance from being disturbed, children are generally not allowed to enter classical concerts. As for Conan's age, the seats are still arranged in the back row. But ... Conan will appreciate it, won't he? Conan. ]

Looking at the smiling Xiaolan, Conan was in distress situation.

Indeed, it is not decent to come to a place like a child.

After leaving the counter, I noticed a big screen on the opposite wall.

This painting reflects the situation on the stage. Just before the performance, the stage was empty except for the chairs and music stands.

Next to the display screen is a large glass cabinet.

Although it is covered with activity guides to be held in this art theater in the near future, the most dazzling poster is tonight's [First Concert].

On the poster, the words [new talent, first meeting-first conductor] are written in white on a black background, but the name of the new Imperial Capital Orchestra is omitted. The following passage [Mahler's Ninth Symphony in D Major] is written in big letters.

In the middle of the poster, under the spotlight, is a beautiful figure playing the violin. There is also a talented young man waving a baton, and his hair is flying.

It's like a scene in a movie, a very beautiful poster.

[It's beautiful! Conan, this conductor is just showing off. ]

[Who is the tide blowing fairy? Conan also looked up at the poster and asked.

[Oh, you don't even know these things? ]

The voice came from behind Conan.

Looking back, it was. ...

[Garden! ]

[Xiao Lan, it's so late. ]

Standing with her hands akimbo is Serena Sebastian. Xiao Lan's classmates and good friends.

[Sorry, dad didn't go out until he was urged four times ...]

Xiaolan put her hands together, and Kogoro said from behind: [Oh, it's the girl with sharp teeth and sharp mouth. ]

[of course! The construction of this theater is funded by my Suzuki consortium! But because mom and dad can't come to the concert tonight, I'm the only one who came. ]

Looking at the garden, Conan thought; [This garden is the darling daughter of a rich family. ]

The garden, that dress, how lovely! ]

[Thanks a lot. Xiaolan's skirt suits you, too! ]

The evening dress in the garden today is a pink evening dress, made of silky fabric. I believe this is silk. Besides, I wore a thin shawl.

Different from the usual laid-back style of Didan University uniforms, it does have a good family style, but ...

[Oh, isn't Uncle Kogoro's suit better than his usual wrinkled clothes? No wonder Xiaolan said [three urges and four invitations]. ]

So arrogant that I wasted all my well-dressed daughters and daughters.

[See how rude you are ...] In the middle of Kogoro's speech, Conan walked between him and the garden.

[Sister Zi Yuan, so, who is that guy called Chao Chui? ]

[Mr. Tide Blowing Fairy? Oh, it's called the once-in-a-century wizard Only 28 years old, he became the permanent conductor of the new imperial city orchestra at a young age and performed regularly in this cup art theater! And ...]

Speaking of which, the garden took a deep breath.

[Handsome super handsome guy! Ah, I can see Mr. Xian waving his baton on the spot. The garden is so touching! ]

Here she comes again ...] Conan kept this feeling of Zhong Zhen rate in his heart.

Just then ...

[Are you also a fan of Mr. Chao Chui? It's the woman who was at the reception desk before.

[Uh-huh, of course! ]

Seeing the garden nodding, the receptionist smiled.

[Me too! Mr. Zhao Cui, it's really great ...]

Halfway through, there was a phone call from the back, probably from other employees calling her.

The receptionist hurried back to her post.

Small five lang frowning, watching her back away, said, [even fans, also should not leave. ]

[This is where Mr. Xian's charm is extraordinary! I understand that feeling! ]

Maybe it's because I met like-minded people that the garden's face became redder with excitement.

In the face of such a garden, Xiaolan has a headache.

[You say so ... Garden, what's wrong with you and Mr. Gyeonggi? ]

No problem, that guy keeps saying that he is busy practicing karate and has no phone. ]

Jingji is a person who is closer than friends in the garden, but at this moment, this is beside the point.

[And ...] The garden continued: [Mr. Xuan already has a fiancee named Otsu and Wei, which are very suitable for each other. ]

[Miss Otsu Ho Wei? You mean this guy? ]

Conan pointed to the woman playing the violin in the poster with her name written on it.

[Haha ... Is this a beautiful young lady? When it comes to the topic of beauty, Kogoro is also refreshed.

Garden nodded and said, [Miss Xiao Wei is a violinist who has made achievements on the international stage since she was a child. At present, it has become the brand of the new imperial city orchestra, and its position is unshakable. ]

[Does the health signboard refer to the leading role of the orchestra? ]

[That still use to ask! ] The garden gave Conan a contemptuous look.

Recently, they got engaged and became business partners. Mr. Xian, the conductor who pursues perfect performance, and the chief violinist who walks with him ... although unwilling, they are a perfect couple. ]

The garden was full of longing, and he crossed his hands on his chest.

Through the crowded hall, next to a bar lounge,

Plus four people in the garden, they went in and ordered their own drinks.

[A cup of milk coffee. ]

[Me too. ]

I would like iced coffee. ]

I want beer. ]

Kogoro drank the beer in the glass in one breath.

[Wow, that's cool! Beer is the best when the throat is dry! ]

Xiaolan proudly advised Kogoro: [Dad, don't drink too much! ]

[no problem. ]

Just then, my face turned a little red. ...

When Kogoro picked up the second beer and sat in the bar with three other people, he whispered something to himself.

[Oh, what? Dad? ]

[Hmm ... Tide Blowing Fairy and Otsu Hewei, where have I heard this name ...]

After thinking for a while, I quickly closed my hand.

[By the way, it was published in the last weekly! I remember an article about Zhao Cuixian's shady election as a permanent commander. ]

[What's the matter? ]

[Probably Mr. He Wei, the father of his fiancee, is the Taishan Beidou in the classical music world, and seems to be the head of this art theater. Tide Chui election, not by strength, but by future father-in-law ...]

[How is it possible? No way! ] The garden flatly denied it.

[hmm ... the content of the article is vague, and it is often regarded as [rumor] and [some people say], which is very unreliable. ]

[Yes! Hu Pingxiu, a bearded uncle, won't do things that favor one's own people. ]

[Otsu He Pingxiu? ]

I think I heard it again. Kogoro touches his chin. Conan gave him a hand from the side.

[Uncle, that man, isn't it an invitation ...]

[Oh, oh, yes! ]

Kogoro took out the invitation letter from his arms and confirmed the name of the sender. Then a greeting came from behind.

Mr. Maori is here today. Welcome to visit. ]

Looking back, there stood a burly and elderly gentleman.

[I'm He Pingxiu, with a big beard. Please give me more advice. ]

Kogoro quickly stood up and held her outstretched right hand.

I'm Richard Moore ... so, you sent an invitation, didn't you? ]

[well! ] Osuga eased that serious face.

Actually, I'm a big fan of yours! Every time I see your active appearance on TV and newspaper, I am fascinated by the detective style of sleeping Kogoro. ]

I am flattered. ]

Beside the smug Kogoro, Conan silently sipped frozen coffee.

(The so-called famous detective [sleeping] Kogoro is just an uncle really asleep ...)

Besides, I heard that Mr. Maori's office is not far from the theater, and I thought I had to invite you, so I ...

The garden rushed into their conversation.

[Uncle Osuga, I sincerely congratulate you on becoming a theater director! ]

Oh, oh, you are ... Mr. Suzuki's daughter, right? ]

Yes, I'm Yuanyuan. ]

Your father takes care of you. I'm sorry to hear that he can't come today ... By the way, Miss Garden, do you know Mr. Maori? ]

Uncle Maori is my friend Xiaolan's father. ]

At ordinary times, he is always called [the garden of bearded old man], and only then does Kogoro become [uncle].
