Chapter 915
"Dear guests, please note that smoking is strictly prohibited inside this concert hall. Please be sure to turn off your mobile phones during the performance..."
Approaching 5:00 PM, the Domoto Concert Hall was bustling with activity. The crowd entered the hall, and the auditorium was soon completely full.
Sonoko, Ran, and the others had all arrived.
"There are really a lot of people," Sonoko clicked her tongue, "It filled up all at once. Strange, where is Conan? The performance is about to start!"
Ran also said worriedly: "I haven't seen him either. Could he have run into something?"
"Sorry," Conan finally found his way to the terrace, "I accidentally got lost in the hallway."
"No way?" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise, "You can get lost even like this? You did that on purpose, didn't you?!"
"The structure of this concert hall is quite complex, and other places don't have signs like the entrance does. Uncle, stop making sarcastic remarks."
Conan glanced at his uncle, sat in an empty seat in the front row, and looked down at the stage below.
The performers and singers walked onto the stage one by one, and in the very center was Reiko Akiba.
Because Akaso Kaze had saved the concert hall, and because he himself possessed powerful influence, Domoto could not refuse his request.
Thus, Reiko Akiba had successfully stepped onto the stage as she wished.
As for Fuwa Takumi, he had of course already been taken away by the police, and on the surface, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Conan watched the performance and curled his lips.
Before he knew it, so many things had happened. This made him think of the practice at Teitan Elementary School that day; perhaps Akaso Kaze had already known who the culprit was back then.
Truly a man who makes a great detective feel despair.
At 5:00 sharp, the concert began. Unlike the rehearsal, there was no discordance this time, and the atmosphere at the scene felt much better—having an audience makes a difference.
Akaso Kaze listened to Reiko Akiba's singing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He had listened to such a beautiful voice for a long time yesterday.
Akaso Kaze also had a deep understanding of its profundity.
Overall, it was very wonderful.
Moreover, he would be able to hear it whenever he wanted in the future.
Thinking of this, Akaso Kaze was very satisfied.
A few days later, Akaso Kaze received a strange request. The request actually came from Kaito Kid.
Although the content of the request was explained, Akaso Kaze decided to go over and ask in person.
Anyway, he had long known that kid's true identity.
7:00 PM, Blue Parrot Bar.
There were no customers in the bar, and Kaito Kuroba was discussing something with Konosuke Jii at the bar counter.
Ding-a-ling.
The copper bell at the door rang, signaling that someone had entered.
The two turned their heads and saw Akaso Kaze.
Kaito Kuroba's body suddenly stiffened.
"What made you think of asking me for help?" Akaso Kaze asked straight to the point.
He really does know my identity.
Kaito Kuroba hurriedly put on an enthusiastic smile, which looked a bit fawning.
"Lord Akaso, why did you come in person? I was just planning to visit you to talk about the request."
"If you have something to say, just say it. I'll see if it's worth taking." Akaso Kaze couldn't be bothered to waste words with him.
Kaito Kuroba hurriedly said: "Actually, I requested your help because the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department recently received a notice letter from Kaito Kid, but that notice letter wasn't sent by me."
Konosuke Jii behind the bar handed over a glass of whiskey and continued to introduce: "Actually, there have been people impersonating Kaito Kid's name before, sending people to pose as Kid to steal their own gems for insurance fraud, marketing their own products..."
"But this time, the fake Kid, the young master feels a bit different."
Kaito Kuroba took a sip of the drink on the bar and said: "The person impersonating Kaito Kid this time not only sent a notice letter to the police but also sent an invitation to Aoko."
"That silly girl didn't even participate in any lottery for this, yet she received an invitation for that place. It's really quite suspicious."
"So I suspect it's a trap set by someone targeting Kaito Kid, and they accidentally sent the invitation to Aoko."
Akaso Kaze nodded, indicating he understood the meaning behind Kaito Kuroba's words.
This meant that the person impersonating Kid this time very likely knew that Kaito Kid's true identity was Kaito Kuroba.
"I'm a bit worried that it's a conspiracy by that organization," Kaito Kuroba said.
"Are you talking about the Animal Organization?" Akaso Kaze asked casually.
Kaito Kuroba's eyes lit up; the Onmyoji really knows everything.
"Yes, that's right. It was this organization that killed my father back then. They are looking for the Pandora gem of life, and my father was killed because he interfered with their plans."
"I'm worried that this time is a trap set by the Animal Organization, and it's very likely a test for me."
"But if I refuse the invitation, those people might do even more despicable things, and I don't want Aoko to get hurt, so I've already agreed to go to that place with Aoko."
Akaso Kaze nodded, understanding the reason for this request.
