"I won't tell anyone." Chi Feichi said to Maori Kogoro again.
"That's pretty much it..." Mouri Kogoro muttered in a low voice, suppressing the resentment in his heart, "But how did you know?"
"Xiaolan said it." Chi Feichi explained.
"She's really..." Mouri Kogoro was a little embarrassed. When he saw the girls coming in, he immediately became energetic. He stared at the girl and said with a smile, "Forget it, let's not mention them. You just have to be happy when you come out to play!"
"That's right," Tojo Yuji couldn't figure out what kind of strange situation the famous detective and his wife had, so he didn't pick up the topic and agreed with a smile, "Since you're out to play, you should have fun!"
An hour later, Tojo Yuji was unable to laugh anymore.
Next to him, Mouri Kogoro, who had drunk too much, hugged a girl and acted like a gangster, which made him feel a little surprised, but this was a little better and more cordial.
As for Chi Feichi, he could only think of the word "weird". He kept requesting songs for girls to sing. Apart from telling them song names and persuading them to start singing, he almost didn't chat with them. He would order whatever he thought of, and the girl would
It's not just the next song, it doesn't let anyone take a break, it's like a judge who is here to assess people's music and singing skills.
Tired of this girl's coquettish singing? It doesn't matter, just ask for another one who can sing opera.
When the girl who sang the opera came in, the girl before her, as if she had been granted amnesty, ran to sit down next to Chi Feichi and started to help Chi Feichi pour wine.
The girl who just came in didn't know the tragic experience of the previous girl. After introducing herself and saying hello to everyone present, she smiled sweetly on her sweet-looking face and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
Chi Feichi's eyes paused for a moment on the butterfly pendant around the girl's waist. He quickly moved away naturally and looked into the girl's eyes, "What are you good at?"
Japanese people don't like to show their tattoos, and he wasn't sure if this girl had the Butterfly Tattoo of the Hancho Club, but today Isao Takatori said that recently, girls in the Hancho Club like to wear butterfly waist chains.
If this girl is a member of the Cold Butterfly Club, that would be interesting. It means that the tentacles of the Cold Butterfly Club have reached out to high-end clubs in Ginza. Then, there will be one or two Cold Butterfly Club members on average in other nightclubs in Ginza.
Under the high pressure of the day, a girl with a good appearance and good temperament can comfort her gently and sit and chat together. At this time, many people will pour out their bitterness or show off their proud things.
Why did Midorikawa Saki get so many accusations by herself in the past? It was just that when she was drinking with guests, she heard too much news, and she heard more from female colleagues.
If there are smart people in the Cold Butterfly Club, the people Rum arranged to go there will definitely develop them into intelligence spies. They may not be as sharp as Midorikawa Saki, but if they continue to develop like this, they will also be a terrifying intelligence network.
Just like tonight, a group of people wouldn't talk about anything too confidential, but at least Mouri Kogoro's schedule was exposed.
Why doesn't he want to chat with these women? It's just that he doesn't want to bother making up stories to deal with them, and he doesn't want to be figured out.
He would not take it lightly to tell a relatively innocent child, let alone an adult he met for the first time.
These people are very good at digging out other people's preferences and pondering other people's personalities. It is easy to extract a lot of information and then chat with people according to their preferences. Unfortunately, conversation skills are useless to them, and being cute is useless.
"What am I good at..." The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Can "Madame Butterfly" be good? But..."
Chi Feichi looked at the girl to make sure she didn't do it on purpose, "It doesn't matter, just sing "Madame Butterfly"."
He knew what the girl was hesitating about. "Madame Butterfly" is a tragic play.
The story takes place in Nagasaki, Japan around 1900. It tells the story of Captain Pinkerton of the U.S. Navy who married a Japanese bride, Qiaoqiao. Pinkerton was just doing it for fun. After being called back to the country, he married another wife. Three years later,
, Pinkerton came back with his American wife, and found that Qiaoqiao had given birth to a three-year-old son for him, so he decided to adopt his son with his American wife. Finally, Qiaoqiao was heartbroken and put an American flag in his son's hands.
He blinded his son and killed himself with a dagger.
Because when he got married, Pinkerton used an aria to praise his bride: "Her innocent and romantic look is so charming, young and beautiful, and her gentle and moving voice. She is like a butterfly, gently
Spread her beautiful and fragrant wings and fly freely among the flowers. I must get her, even if the slender wings are broken.' Therefore, Qiaoqiao is also called 'Madama Butterfly', which is also the source of the name of the play.
"I can sing the soprano of Madama Butterfly," the girl smiled gently, "do you want to cooperate with me?"
Chi Feichi refused, "I'll forget it. You can sing the part of Madame Butterfly by yourself, and the same goes for the duet."
"Then I'll do it myself," the girl said with a smile. "Don't mind if you don't sing well."
"How could you mind?" Mouri Kogoro said with a drunken look on his face, "I really didn't expect to hear opera here. She is such a beautiful, considerate and talented beauty!"
"Mr. Mori, thank you very much."
The girl replied with a smile, recalled the content of the opera, worked up a good mood, and started singing a cappella.
The soprano and the bel canto are enough to confuse Moori Kogoro, who has never seen this opera before, but the young and full of expectations and fantasy can still be conveyed through the voice and the girl's expression and movements.
Tojo Yuji and others all quieted down and listened quietly.
"It's really good." Mouri Kogoro admired in a low voice as he watched the girl show off the tenderness and shyness of a bride.
Chi Feichi glanced at his teacher, then looked at the girl's performance again, turning the wine glass in his hand, and silently picked out two out-of-tune parts.
In the memory of the original consciousness, there were many instances of watching operas with Ikekana, most of which were well-known operas. However, when he was four or five years old, he was young and his memory was only scattered fragments.
He had been idle these days, so he made a special effort to catch up on it and watched all the operas in his memory on the Internet, hoping to resonate with some things in his memory and allow him to dig out more memories of his original consciousness when he was young.
Those memories definitely existed, but they were buried too deep. After he inherited the memories, he was still the same. He could only recall some deeper fragments. The attempts in the past few days were effective. The once vague memories had become much clearer. He could even
Think back to the appearance and approximate location of those theaters.
If we continue to dig like this, can we dig back to the time when the original consciousness first had memories? He is quite curious.
As for the play "Madama Butterfly", at the beginning when Madam Butterfly herself did not appear, Pinkerton told the consul, "You must pick the most beautiful flowers at every port where you stop, and if you are refused, leave and rush to the consul."
"Find the most beautiful flowers at the next harbor", "His lease on the house is 999 years, but he can terminate it at any time" and other remarks, showing arrogance and perfunctory attitude towards marriage, while Madam Butterfly's expectations for marriage when she appeared were serious and serious.
, and for the sake of this marriage, he abandoned his faith and followed Pinkerton to believe in God, and fell out with his uncle who was the host. It was destined to be a complete tragedy.
Later, the fifteen-year-old Madame Butterfly told her honestly that she was a geisha, her father died young, and her mother was troubled by poverty. This was different from what the matchmaker had said before, and Pinkerton also found a matchmaker.
Complain, but in the end, you are still greedy for someone else's body and can't bear to go back on your word.
It’s just that there is no comparison. Just watch the performance of Madama Butterfly. People who have not seen the whole play will really not think that this is a tragedy.
At least in the eyes of Mouri Kogoro, the girl's face showed secret joy and anticipation during the performance, and then turned into sadness and sweetness. She looked like a little girl in love, no matter how cute she looked.
By the time three years later, Madam Butterfly was sad, but she was still determined that Pinkerton would come back. She naively asked the consul: "He said that the swallows will come back when they make their nests, but the swallows here have already done so."
Having made a nest three times, did you American swallows forget to make a nest?'
Hearing this, Tojo Yuji's expression was extremely complicated, and he had no intention of chatting with the girl next to him.
Finally, it was not until Madame Butterfly was delighted to decorate the house with flowers that she saw Pinkerton's American wife, and her mood changed again like an avalanche.
The expressions performed by the girl also changed from joy to sorrow, and then gradually became numb. Her eyes were scary, but her singing voice was extremely calm and high-pitched.
Maori Kogoro:"?"
Wait, something is wrong. Isn’t this a romantic drama?
Soon, the performing girl knelt down on the ground, looked up, then turned back, stretched out her hands, and made a gesture of hugging the child. Her expression became grief-stricken, and she sang a series of high notes.
Seeing the girl's expression, Mouri Kogoro felt uncomfortable. He turned his head and asked Chi Feichi beside him, "Feichi, what are you singing in this section?"
Chi Feichi took a look and found that Yuji Tojo's eyes were a little red, while his teacher was still blank, not responding to the situation, so he decisively helped his teacher and translated in a low voice.
"My little angel, my beloved, surrounded by blooming lilies and roses, I pray that you will never know the news of my death, so that you can cross the sea... Your mother abandoned you, you are my son, is
The treasure given by God, look carefully and remember your mother's face... Goodbye, the love of my life."
On one side was the girl's high-spirited and mournful singing, and on the other side was Chi Feichi's calm translation, which was like announcing the curtain. Mouri Kogoro still felt heartbroken when he listened and watched.
Then, the girl seemed to be holding a dagger in her hand, held it in front of her throat, made a stabbing motion, and then lay down on the ground.
"Pa bang..."
Chi Feichi reached out and applauded.
The performance is 8 points and the singing is 6 points. The singing level is a little bit worse, but the performance ability is not bad.
If you can sing alone without accompaniment, it is considered excellent.
"Pa bang..."
Tojo Yuji and Fukawa Yu also applauded with sighs on their faces, successfully losing their mood to chat with pretty girls.
Three minutes later, the four of them went out. Chi Feichi personally gave a small tip to the two singing girls, as a reward for allowing him to go home and sleep early.
"Mr. Maoli, Mr. Chi, I'll see you another day."
"Ah, okay, see you another day!"
Mouri Kogoro watched Tojo Yuji and Fukawa Yugo leave in the taxi, still a little confused.
Come to the club and leave now?
But he really wasn't in the mood to stay any longer.
Chi Feichi stopped a taxi, turned to look at Mouri Kogoro who was staring at him, and said calmly, "Teacher, I'll take you back to the detective agency first."
"Know it……"
Mouri Kogoro looked away resentfully and got into the car.
His apprentice's calm face, as if he didn't know what good thing he had done, made him feel bad.
Alas, it may be that few of his apprentices come here, and they don’t know how to visit such a club. Maybe it should be treated as an opera house.
