Twenty minutes later, under the stage of the Domoto Concert Hall.

"What do you think?" A musician sitting in the front row asked his friend next to him.

"Less soul, but ...... It's also a good assembly line product - a reliable stalwarf soprano. His friend responded to him. At least for the average orchestra, she's pretty good enough - of course, I guess the lack of soul is probably because she didn't fit in, right? For the Japanese, this is indeed a bit difficult. ”

"The violinist's performance also has a place in Asia, but it is still lacking in advanced technique, and of course, the lack of familiarity with the piano should also be one of the reasons - give her a Guarneri violin, and give her three months of training, she should be able to reach the top level."

The Guarneri violin, which has a greater sense of power and controllability than the Stradivari violin, but at the same time is inferior in terms of tonal potential.

"Guarneri, it's much harder to find than Stradivari," the musician complained. "Maybe there are 30 or 50 Stradivari violins that can be maintained at the top of their game, but what about Guarneri? It's good to have 30. And don't forget, this is a 1691 work, don't be too demanding of the quality of 1716. ”

Although violins generally last more than 500 years, only about 5% of the 500-1000 Stradivari violins in existence are considered to still have a level of sound that can be used to reach the level of elegance due to damage, accidental or purposeful modifications (most of which are often self-defeating) - although this is much more than the number of Guarneri violins, which are considered to be only one-third to one-half of the former- And the violins that come from the peak of the producer himself (1700-1720, that is, when he was 56-76 years old), especially from the best years such as 1716, will far surpass his peers in status, price and tone.

In contrast, this Stradivarius violin from the Riverside Soko Collection is from 1691 and is not in its best year – the style of the Stradivarius violin is not set in stone, but has undergone many changes. In 1684, from the death of his mentor Nicola Amati, whose grandfather was the inventor of the modern style of violin, made a smaller violin. After setting up his own door, he began to experiment with changes to the violin. In the period 1685-1690, his works still retain to a considerable extent the characteristics of the Amati family, but from 1690 he began to revise them repeatedly.

Beginning in 1690, he began to experiment with the leniency of the violin (length and width) in an attempt to pursue the dynamics of the large-sized violin of the violin master Markini of another violin school (the Brescia school, to which Stradivarius himself belonged to the Cremona school) while retaining the bright tone, but in 1692 the width of the violin was narrowed (long and narrow) due to poor combination; In 1698, he chose to abandon all alterations and start making pre-1690 fundamentalist violins again; In 1699, this reversing was discontinued and replaced by a re-practice of the previous long violin. But in 1700, Stradivari finally pronounced the death penalty for all reforms since 1690 and focused on the old model of the violin, thus beginning his golden age.

As a result of these changes, Stradivari's violin did not reach its peak until after 1700, which meant that the 1691 Stradivarius violin was relatively experimental in terms of design and the ability of the maker (but it cannot be denied that it was still valuable to concerto soloists)

"Don't talk about that, I always feel ...... Mr. Domoto and this Chigusa Lala...... Some subtle not on point? "My friend started to pay attention to another issue." Is it a delusion? ”

"I don't know, it's your delusion—I want to say that, but you're an organist, and you know more than I do as a violinist...... You go ask your peers? The musician motioned for the other to stop asking himself.

"He went to the bathroom," the friend glanced at the empty seat on the other side, a little helpless. "But then again, the concert hall here is really interesting, and the restrooms are also located in the entire soundproof space – is there a service concept in Japan that 'even if it's time to go to the toilet, guests can fully enjoy the concert'?"

"Who knows." The musician smiled and shook his head, not paying much attention to these things.

…………

At the same time, outside the concert hall.

"I'll ...... it," Fujiwara frowned, looking at the Domoto Concert Hall, which had been in flames—although the concert hall itself still looked intact, most of the buildings on the periphery had been caught in flames. This...... It's not going to explode and collapse here, is it? ”

"And probably the people inside don't want the audience to escape alive, and maybe even let them accompany them here to be buried at all." Qian Yu reminded with a frown. "Spectrum and artisan...... Is this a fire festival? ”

When Chiba arrived here, he already knew why when he called Officer Twilight and Conan before, they all showed that they were not in the service area - although in principle, the mobile phone signal here should be under the jurisdiction of a nearby signal base station, but now the situation is that a pseudo base station has been installed in the interior of the Domoto Concert Hall, taking advantage of the proximity to the water to take over the internal communication management of the concert hall. And what exclusive equipment settings are used in this base station, so that all mobile phone signals are imprisoned in the shackles of this pseudo base station, which can neither be sent out through this base station, nor can it be switched to other base stations that are farther away. (Similar to 'network connected but no signal')

"Now it looks like we need to go in from above," Officer Sato said clearly. "Fujiwara, you go down with me, Chiba, you follow the helicopter to a safer outside and stand by."

"At least after you go down, please let the helicopter hover on the rooftop for a while," Chiba declined Officer Sato's request. "Conan is down there too, so I think I might be able to get in touch with him right away, but only if I get to at least the rooftop of the concert hall, or the signal may not get through."

Although the mobile phone can no longer be used to contact Conan on the surface, of course, Chiba has a better way to contact each other without exposing his auxiliary unit to the Metropolitan Police Department - that is, the Detective Corps badge, which Conan has always pinned to his chest.
