Chapter 652 Continuous Killings?
Chapter 652 Continuous Killings?
Before Sato Miwako and Xiaolan could figure out what was going on, they heard Maori Kogoro trembling and shouting,
"So the one I have in my hand is the violin that is said to be worth hundreds of millions of yen - Storativarius?!"
"Hundreds of millions?!"
The two women had never heard of the name Storativarios, but they had some idea of the number of hundreds of millions.
"Not necessarily."
Haibara Ai's voice also came over.
call--
Just when Xiaolan thought that hundreds of millions might be a bit exaggerated, she heard Huiyuan Ai quietly pouring a basin of cold water on her.
"I remember one was recently valued at $10 million by collectors."

Xiaolan is about to break apart.
She looked at the violin in her old father's hand and felt her whole heart trembling.
Ten million dollars!
That's equivalent to more than 1 billion yen!
If this violin is broken by my father, even if we mortgage both of them here it won’t be enough to compensate!
(The house of Maori Kogoro is cheap now, so it is not worth much money. One hundred or two hundred million yen can be scraped together, but ten billion yen is probably out of the question.)
"Dad - put it down!"
Xiaolan hurriedly stood up and shouted to Kogoro Mouri.
"I I I...I can't move,"
Kogoro Mouri's face suddenly turned pale, then slowly turned blue, and finally he froze.
"Then what shall we do——"
Xiaolan became even more panicked.
After some pulling and tugging, Kogoro Mori finally succeeded in taking down the Storativarius violin, which was more expensive than his.
Seeing this, Bai Ma Song asked Shiro Renxi,
"Lianxi, is there anything wrong with this violin?"
"Um,"
Shitara Renxi nodded, and then began to slowly explain to Bai Masong and the others,
"This violin was a gift from my great uncle, Uncle Shitara Tanjiro, the father of Uncle Yuga Kyosuke, to my grandfather."
"But, thirty years ago, on the night of my grandfather's birthday, two robbers suddenly broke into our home, kidnapped our entire family, and attempted to steal the Storativarius."
"My grandfather and his family sat there without moving, but Uncle Danjiro was brutally killed by two gangsters because he stood up to resist. This is also the reason why Uncle Yuga Kyosuke did not follow our family name, because he and his mother returned to her mother's home after that."
“However, fortunately, because our family has a large collection of violins, the robbers were in a hurry after killing people and failed to find the correct Storativarios, so this violin was preserved.”
When Bai Masong heard what Shitara Renxi said, he realized that this case was most likely related to what happened thirty years ago.
After all, the two robbers' arrival was too coincidental, and with such a valuable violin, the people of the Setara family would certainly not place it randomly. No matter how hurried they were, how could they not find it if they had investigated in advance?
But there is one thing. This happened thirty years ago, when he was not yet born. Did his father or grandmother know what happened in the Shitara family?
There is a big problem here.
Bai Ma Song thought so, and Shitara Renxi continued to speak.
"However, what I want you to investigate today is not a case from thirty years ago."
"What I want to investigate are two strange and creepy incidents that happened in the past two years!"
As Shitara Renxi was talking, a layer of frost appeared on her face, as if she was still frightened.
"The first thing was the death of Aunt Eimi two years ago. She was the wife of Uncle Genzaburo. She was known for her versatility in sports. When she was young, she was an excellent gymnast. Later, she switched to music."
"I just can't understand how a person like her could have fallen to her death because she missed a step while walking up the stairs."
"By the way, my uncle and Brother Song have also mentioned this matter. Brother Song will definitely understand how I feel!"
"Um"
Bai Masong nodded calmly and said to everyone,
"What Lianxi said is correct. Aunt Yongmei is indeed known for her versatility in sports. To be honest, I never thought something like this would happen to her."
After listening to what Bai Masong and Shitara Renxi said, everyone nodded in understanding.
Shitara Renxi paused, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
"Another incident was my father, who was leaning on a rusty railing and fell to his death last year."
"My father was always very cautious in what he did. To be honest, I really can't accept that he died for such a stupid reason!"
As Shitara Renxi spoke, she began to become more and more emotional.
"So, I would like to ask Mr. Mao Li and Brother Song to help me investigate these two things!"
However, perhaps because they did not think about it that way, Kogoro Mori and others did not have too many feelings.
Maori Kogoro scratched his head and said in confusion,
"But, Miss Lian Xi, no matter how hard it is to accept what you said, it is still an accident, right?"
"No, no!"
Shitara Renki waved her hands constantly, trying to explain to Maori Kogoro,
"This is not an accident! This must not be an accident!"
"Both of them died on my grandfather's birthday! And before they died, they both pulled the Storativarius!"
"It's like, it's like they're cursed!"
"It's my grandfather's birthday this year, and it's my turn to come to Lastra Tivarios. I, I don't want anything bad to happen to me!"
However, no matter how passionately Shitara Renki spoke, Conan and Maori Kogoro's family remained indifferent.
Conan even said to Shitara Renki casually,
"In that case, Sister Lian Xi, why don't you just not pull this Storativarius?!"
"But I want to pull it!"
Renki Shitara shouted at Conan in dissatisfaction.
However, compared to Conan and Maori Kogoro's indifference, Sato Miwako may have been influenced by Hakuba Matsu and felt that whenever the Maori family is around, there will be a case, so she is particularly concerned about this old story.
She carefully put forward her own opinion.
"Do you think someone is using accidents and the curse of Storativarius to kill people?"
"this......"
Maori Kogoro groaned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
“That shouldn’t be possible, right?”
After hearing this, Conan didn't dare to take it lightly and started to think about the problem seriously.
In the end, it was Bai Masong who made the final decision.
