Conan: The Mechanic

Every student of the Doben Conservatory of Music knows that there is a special piano practice room in the academy, and being able to practice here is often regarded as the highest honor for every student.

As for why this happens, it is because, unlike the general-purpose pianos in other practice rooms, the pianos in this practice room are outright private property and belong to Ichiwa Domoto, the dean of the Domoto Conservatory of Music: although his current status is The organ master, but the real dazzling aura on him belongs to his other identity - a world-class pianist. This piano was his private practice piano at home before he abruptly announced his retirement from the piano playing business two years ago. And even now, Mr. Domoto's former personal piano tuner regularly calibrates the piano to keep it always at peak performance.

But now, Hebian Zuozi always felt that the performance of the piano was a little subtle, and he didn't know what went wrong.

Is it the cello? No, it's not like... Although I'm a violinist, I know a little bit about the cello, and there's no problem with the timbre.

Then... is it a piano? But the sound of the piano is also very pleasant. Besides, this is a piano that Mr. Puhe and Craftsman personally debugged, so there is no possibility of any problems.

Then... Could it be that there is a problem with the cooperation of these two people, and they cannot integrate the two originally perfect instruments together?

At this moment, along with the sound of a classic melody, Hebian Zuo suddenly raised his head with a surprised expression on his face. After a while, it turned into a somewhat helpless look.

Picking up the phone again, she thought about it, typed a message, and sent it out.

Just before she saw the successful feedback, the world seemed to stand still, and Kawabe's consciousness was also cut off.

"Boom!!!"

"Beep—" With the sound of vibration, Qiuting Lianzi received a text message from Zuozi by the river. Of course, this text message has already been passed by Qianyu's auxiliary unit, so he also knows the content of the text message, but the content of this text message is a bit strange.

[Only when the grass and trees are scattered, I am afraid that the beauty will be late. 】

Realizing the drifting of grass and trees, I can't help worrying that the beauty will also grow old.

"?" Qiu Ting Lianzi frowned at the content on the screen.

If the information she had read before was correct, Ms. Naoko Kawabe should be only 31 years old, not much older than herself... So who is she sighing with these words? Who is falling, and sighing about the twilight?

A senior who plays the piano? Impossible, he is only 36 years old, and this age has not reached its peak.

Master cello? He is not the type of premature aging either. Maybe his lifespan is not as long as that of a piano, but it is far from the time to discuss the decline.

She herself... 31 years old, there is no cello senior to worry about.

Are you making fun of me?

"..." Qiu Ting Lianzi's brows twitched - although he is a little younger than Hebian Zuozi, if he only talks about his professional lifespan, he may be a little shorter than her. But... it shouldn't be within 10 years, right? Who can she hurt by saying this now?

【what do you mean? ] - Qiuting Lianzi

She didn't get a response.

"..." After waiting for more than ten seconds, Qiu Ting Lianzi lost the patience to continue waiting and put away the phone. "That's the convenience store in front, right?"

"Yeah," Qianyu nodded. "It's all bottled water, and there are soda cans, which should meet your needs." Qian Yu was about to say something goodbye, but suddenly stopped.

[Cuphu TV broadcast urgently. At 15:15, there was an explosion at the Domoto Conservatory of Music. More news will be brought later. 】

He intercepted all the text messages between Qiu Ting Lianzi and Hebian Zuozi just now, so he was very concerned about whether this rare explosion was related to Qiu Ting Lianzi's worries just now.

But... if I told her these things, how would I explain where I heard the news? So let's just leave it like this for the time being, I hope she doesn't have an accident before she sees the relevant news.

……

Four p.m

"..." On the way home, Qiu Ting Lianzi looked at the content on the phone screen, looking a little uneasy.

Just now, Domoto Yiwei's son contacted her and told her that Miss Kawabe Zakuko was affected by an explosion. Although she saved her life, she was still in a coma, and it was almost certain that she would not appear in a few days. on the concert stage. The reason for informing her of this was to inform her that the violinist of the concert had been officially replaced by Yamane Ziyin.

So far, there is no news that he will also be replaced, which should be good news...

But if that's the case, it means that someone really wants to kill him, and it's probably because of the concert a few days later-I wasn't so serious about the kettle at first, but it seems , and now the whole incident must be dealt with in the most serious manner.

Forest bathing... In the past, I had to go for a walk the day before every concert to get my senses. Would you like to go this time? If you don't go, you might feel a little nervous when you go on stage on the day of the concert, but... in such a situation, I'm afraid if you go to the forest by yourself, you'll be even more nervous, right?

Just when she was thinking about whether to give up the habit she usually used to feel at ease before going on stage, she suddenly heard the sound of a car coming from behind—judging from the sound, it should be a bulldozer among earthmoving machinery.

Is there any need for earthwork construction nearby? I don't think so... But if that's the case, how come there are heavy trucks here?

Before she had time to think about the answer carefully, Qiu Ting Lianzi just moved aside a little bit~www.readwn.com~ so that the bulldozer could pass by her on this not wide road.

but……

"Beep—" With such a long whistle, Qiu Ting Lianzi suddenly heard the sound of the crawler and the ground repeatedly bumping. There is no doubt that the other side is accelerating.

"Are you crazy?" Qiu Ting Lianzi turned her head with some displeasure in her heart, wanting to see what kind of driver would actually step on the accelerator in such a narrow way on such a narrow road.

But she only saw a man who had wrapped himself into a zongzi, driving a bulldozer towards her.

A fool knows that a person who has no ulterior motives will never do this.

"!!!" Qiu Ting Lianzi was taken aback and rushed forward, but the speed of the bulldozer had increased to a considerable extent, and within a few seconds, the distance between the two had almost been completely swallowed up.

Afterwards, the bulldozer accelerated a little, and the metal shovel at the front of the car pushed Qiuting Reiko's foot forward, who had not had time to lift it, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Squeak-!!!" When Qiu Ting Lianzi fell to the ground, was shoveled up by a metal shovel, and began to rub forward, the sound of the brakes being fully squeezed suddenly sounded, and the bulldozer suddenly slowed down, as if the collision just now was just a Unexpectedly.

On the ground in front of him, Qiu Ting Lianzi was holding one leg, twisting in pain, making a whimper of pain that was suppressed by all his strength, but could still be heard by anyone.

"..." In the cab, the driver wrapped in rice dumplings hesitated for a while, and finally chose to send a text message with the mobile phone on the bulldozer.

This mobile phone does not seem to belong to a private person, but to the engineering party, and the emergency contact information of a nearby hospital is stored on it.
