The famous criminal in the world of Conan

Chapter 651: Storativarios

Shitara Choichiro laughed, then coughed twice, and said with some regret,

"When you first returned to China, the old lady even told me about your situation and asked me if Lian Xi had a partner!"

"grandfather--"

Shitora Renxi was going crazy. Why were all the elders talking about this kind of thing today?

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Shitara Choichiro smiled and waved his hand.

"I won't say any more, cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, he started coughing loudly again and quickly covered his mouth with his hands.

This time, it took a long time for the cough to subside.

He raised his head and saw Renxi Shitele and everyone around him looking at him with concern.

"Uncle Tiaoyilang, what's wrong with your body?"

Bai Masong frowned slightly and asked in confusion,

"Didn't you just say that you have difficulty walking?"

"Ugh--"

Shitara Choichiro sighed again, looking very lonely.

"My legs and feet are inconvenient, but that was a problem many years ago."

"Now, my body is no longer able to bear this."

"A Song, I'm afraid today is the last birthday you celebrate with me."

what? !

Everyone around was shocked, but when they saw that Shitara Renki did not refute and just looked sad, they knew that the old man Shitara Choichiro was not lying.

"You are...why haven't I heard about this from my family?"

Bai Masong asked, still frowning.

"It's lung cancer,"

Shitara Choichiro took a deep breath and said to Hakubamatsu and the others,

"It was found out a month ago. It was already in the late stage when it was detected... cough cough... cough cough cough... The doctor said there was no hope and that I could live for at most one year."

"I smoked a lot when I was young, and got this disease... cough cough... But I don't plan to quit now. I won't live long anyway, so I might as well smoke a few more cigarettes, haha... cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough cough..."

"grandfather!"

Shitaro Renxi went up and patted him on the back, complaining,

"Please stop talking."

"Um,"

Shitara Choichiro nodded, but continued to ask Hakuba Matsu,

"Is the old lady in good health?"

"Grandma is in good health,"

Bai Masong said lightly,

"Atan stays at home with her, and Xiaoai goes back often. She quite enjoys this kind of life."

"Really? That's great."

Shitara Choichiro smiled and nodded slightly.

"The old lady and the old master have helped me a lot, and have also helped the Setara family a lot. If it weren't for them, my second and third brothers and I would have been just singing actors, and we wouldn't have the status we have now. It's a pity that we were young and greedy and did the wrong thing. I really regret it..."

Shitara Choichiro's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and towards the end it sounded more like he was just murmuring about his memories to himself.

As he was talking, he stopped talking and said to Jinqu Hongsheng who came back later,

"Jinqu, help me upstairs, I want to rest for a while."

"Lianxi, accompany the guests well and don't let others think that we, the Shitara family, don't know how to entertain guests."

"Yes, grandpa."

Tsugaku Hongsheng and Shitara Renki said.

Shitara Choichirō gave Hakubamatsu an apologetic look, then went upstairs with the help of Tsugaku Hongsheng.

Later, when Jin Quhong was born and wanted to accompany Bai Masong and others, Shitara Renxi sent her away again.

"Ms. Lian Xi, what are you doing?"

Kogoro Maori asked in confusion.

Wouldn’t it be good if there was someone to serve them? Why were they, a group of guests, left alone with Renki Shitara?

"Mr. Maori,"

Shitara Renki's face darkened, she looked at Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro, and said seriously,

"Do you remember that I came to ask you something?"

"Yes, I remember."

Maori Kogoro nodded and asked Shitara Renki,

"So, is there something wrong, Miss Lian Xi?"

"That's right,"

Shitara Renxi nodded, and then said to Bai Masong in a deep voice,

"I was originally planning to entrust this matter to Mr. Mao Li, but now Brother Song is here, can I ask Brother Song to help me investigate as well?"

"can."

Bai Ma Song nodded.

Since Conan is here, it means there is a case. If there is a case, then it is naturally his duty as a policeman to take part in it.

When Shitara Renxi saw Baiba Song nodded, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she trotted over and took down a violin case from a piano next to her.

Inside was the violin she had been practicing on today.

"This is......"

The families of Hakuba Matsu and Maori Kogoro all leaned forward and looked at the violin in front of them.

Kogoro Mori and others didn't know much about musical instruments. They simply thought that this violin was very old and had a sense of simplicity.

However, the white horse pine is different.

His pupils shrank slightly when he saw the piano, because he had seen this piano once before.

Its price is quite amazing.

But what is amazing is not just the price, but also the collection value it contains.

Especially for the Shitara family, who come from a musical family, this violin is enough to become their family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.

"This harp was made about three hundred years ago."

Renxi Shitara opened her mouth slowly and was about to introduce the violin.

Hakuba Song was about to open his mouth to confirm, but he saw that Maori Kogoro had already picked up the violin.

Not only did he pick it up, he also clamped the violin around his neck, put the bow on it, and pretended to pull it twice.

"Hahaha, if you put it that way, Miss Lian Xi, this violin is really an extraordinary antique."

Kogoro Mori said in a witty tone.

Seeing this, Hakuba Song was afraid that Maori Kogoro would break it, so he asked Shitara Renki with a serious face,

"Could this harp be the legendary..."

"That's right,"

Shitara Renxi also knew that Bai Masong should have guessed it, so she nodded and said in a deep voice,

"Its maker is the legendary master Antonio Storativari."

"Storativari?!"

When Shitara Renki said this, Kogoro Mouri, Haibara Ai who was sitting next to her, and Conan exclaimed in surprise.

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?!"
