Conan: The Mechanic

"No way, that tone..." Fujiwara narrowed his eyes, recalling carefully. Although the test after the entire symphony is not particularly simple, the tone played at the beginning is a violin tone, a very standard 440Hz standard tone.

"Are we hearing the same output pitch?" Conan also had an incredible expression. "Let's not say anything else, the first sound of the last round of tests must be La, why did you write Si? It's a whole sound!"

"You... Forget it, I can't blame you too harshly," Qiu Ting Lianzi's mouth twitched. "Then... why don't you explain it?"

Saying so, she looked at Gregory.

"I'm really not ready to say anything, because...seriously, I've tested about 15 people before, and you're the first in Japan to realize what the problem is on your own." Gregory Then he signaled Qiu Ting Lianzi to come by himself. "Really, your hearing is too exaggerated. When we designed this experiment, we thought it was far beyond the limit that humans can distinguish."

"It's too abrupt. If you were gentler, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference." Qiu Ting Lianzi's face flashed a hint of complacency, but then he restrained himself.

"Boss, what do you mean?" The dummies of the two of them completely confused Fujiwara and Conan, and Fujiwara simply asked directly.

"The 45 minutes just now were not in vain," Qiu Ting Reiko sighed. After looking at Conan, she looked at Fujiwara with a pity. "Every 30 seconds, the timbre will suddenly rise by a little more than a cent, and a whole 45-minute song will just have an upward deviation of a whole tone, and your hearing will be boiled by this kind of warm water. The way is crooked."

"Yeah, the reason why we chose 30 seconds to go up one cent in this test is because at least when we designed the experiment, we thought that one cent was not so obvious and should not be noticed by anyone." Gregory said pouted. "I didn't expect it...Is this the ability of a professional singer with absolute pitch?"

"Yeah, but to be honest, it's still a bit reluctant. At first, I didn't realize there was a problem at all... It was about a minute and a half later that I felt something was wrong, and then I began to hear it carefully." Qiu Ting Lianzi said this, showing a lingering expression on his face. "Really, I didn't feel it at all before that, and even if I recognized it as if the pitch was gradually shifting, it was almost impossible to detect the change without careful recognition."

"It's normal to not realize the problem the first two times, because we didn't make any changes at all in the first minute." Gregory shook his head. "And the first time we corrected the pitch upwards, it was already accurately captured by you. In contrast, those two people are ... very in line with normal performance."

"To be honest, I'm still a little desperate," Fujiwara said with a helpless expression. "That...really, I think I have done my best, but I still can't deal with these guys, especially this kid (he said this, he glanced at Conan annoyed), it's just a waste of money."

"I have also practiced well..." Conan muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Stop talking," Fujiwara snorted. "It's really outrageous that it's so bad with absolute sound."

"Ordinary people are probably like this," Qiu Ting Lianzi was very forgiving. "After all... not everyone chooses to go on the path of music."

"But in fact, you should at least thank me for not using more destructive means on you," Gregory suddenly showed a strange smile. "You should have also discovered that although the results of the other instruments seem to be different from those of Miss Qiuting Lianzi, you still have a sound that is consistent with them - the only piano in the second set of listening questions. Sound. Do you know why?"

"Because the symphony doesn't have a piano, right?" Conan responded immediately. "Symphony is orchestral music, so Brahms' symphony just now doesn't have any traces of piano, so...you mean, although my violin timbre is taken off the track, but the piano has no problem listening to it. ?"

"It looks like this at the moment," Gregory nodded. "According to the results of our current observations, after the tone of one timbre is polluted, it will not affect the listening sense of other instruments with different timbres for the time being, but we are not very clear about the specific reasons."

"By the way, how long will this pollution last?" Qiu Ting Lianzi suddenly realized this problem. "I mean... interference with absolute timbre..."

"Don't worry, since you can hear the anomaly, your absolute pitch has not been biased at all." Gregory glanced at Qiu Ting Lianzi, signaling her to be at ease.

"What about us?" Fujiwara immediately understood what Gregory meant. "How long will it take us?"

"I don't know~www.readwn.com~ it might be a long time," Gregory spread his hands. "But don't worry too much, I think if you listen to normal music for another hour or so, you should be able to regain the sense of music that has been taken away - don't expect to recover slowly by yourself, according to our previous One try, at least two or three days is not enough, what you need is immersive high-intensity recovery work.”

"An hour?" Conan was dumbfounded.

"Then I want to deduct the outpatient time," Fujiwara put forward his request with a little trouble. "You see, it's fair, right?"

"No problem." Gregory agreed quite succinctly. "But... in that case, you'll have to use your new allowance to invite everyone to dinner."

"Ah?" Fujiwara was stunned, and subconsciously glanced at Qiuting Reiko behind him. "Miss Qiu Ting, what are you going to eat?"

"I don't choose, the simplest ramen will do. Of course, the fruit is also completely ok."

…………

ps: The so-called [Fujiwara's new allowance] doesn't really have any allowances, but this experiment originally recruited Gregory as a paid experimenter (a destructive experiment on the sense of sound, and it is such a lengthy experiment, of course, it is paid ), but he chose to take the opportunity to prostitute Conan and Qiuting Lianzi with absolute sense of sound, saving a fortune. And Fujiwara's request was to ask for a reward for keeping the matter secret. In the end, Gregory agreed to Fujiwara's request, but also proposed to use part of the money to invite the three of them to eat together.

……

Of course, this experiment was not made up by me, but a destructive experiment on absolute pitch that was submitted to the journal of the Association for Psychological Science by researchers at the University of Chicago in 2012.

Of course, by the way, it is also for the purpose of changing the plot later.
