Yuuki only shrugged his shoulders and sat back on his seat beside Reiko, "What are you reading?"

"Just a note," Reiko said.

"Is your aunt coming?" Yuuki asked.

"Hmm?" Reiko looked at him with a confused expression.

"I mean, do you have menstruation? You've been in a pretty bad mood since earlier," Yuuki said.

"You're very rude!" Reiko said with an annoyed expression.

"Really? But I'm pretty happy that seeing a lot of emotion coming from your face, what is it? Are you being dumped by your boyfriend or something?" Yuuki asked.

"...."

"Really?" Yuuki was a bit surprised.

Reiko frowned, "That is not your business."

Yuuki shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about your boyfriend, but I'm sure that he will regret leaving such a beautiful woman."

Reiko turned toward him and had a complex emotion right now.

"Excuse me, Reiko Akiba-san, we've been waiting to talk...." Takagi suddenly came to them.

Reiko, who saw the police, sighed, "Sheesh, this had better be over quickly."

"What's wrong, Takagi-san?" Yuuki asked.

"Yuuki, do you want to join us too?" Takagi thought that Yuuki could help them to solve the case. He still remembers helping him in the 'Hammer Man' case.

Yuuki looked at Rossweisse and Uomi who were talking to the kids. He looked at Takagi and nodded, "Sure."

Reiko frowned, "Why are you coming with them?"

"I'm a part-time detective," Yuuki said.

Reiko had a doubtful expression on her face.

"No, he has helped us in a lot of cases," Takagi confirmed in his statement.

"You don't need to think much, it is better to talk with them as soon as possible rather than making them follow you all the time," Yuuki said.

Reiko thought for a bit and nodded, "That's true, they're very annoying."

"I agree," Yuuki said.

"Yuuki, I don't think that you should agree with her opinion," Takagi twitched his lips.

Both of them ignored him and walked to the group of the police.

Megure looked at him for a bit and decided to not saying anything, "We would like to ask you one more time about the e-mail Kabe Souko-san sent you just before the explosion."

Takagi looked at his note and started to read the email, "It's impossible to work with a bunch of amateurs who can't differentiate between sounds." He turned toward her and asked, "What is the meaning of this e-mail?"

"Meaning?" Reiko raised her eyebrows.

Yuuki noticed that Conan was moving silent trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Shh," Conan didn't want him to tell everyone that he tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Yuuki decided to ignore him.

"It's just like it says, I've mentioned it before, Kabe-san and I are..." Reiko said but she was cut.

"You met her for the first time during the press conference for this public concert, right?" Sato said.

Reiko nodded, "Yeah, at that time, she said she would listen to the performance of those two who have passed away and would e-mail me her thoughts."

"In other words, based on the difference between those two people's style and Kabe-san's style, as a musician, her remark that they couldn't tell the difference between sounds meant that they couldn't perform together, isn't that right?" Shiratori said.

"Something like that I suppose," Reiko said and asked, "Why are you not asking her directly? Hasn't she regained her consciousness yet?"

"Yes, she is awake but due to the shock of the explosion, she's losing her memory of the incident," Sato said.

Reiko was surprised, "Is that so?"

"There is one more thing," Shiratori took something from his suit pocket, "This item was found at the crime scene."

"The body of a flute?" Yuuki raised his eyebrow and turned toward Reiko. He saw a change in her expression. He was wondering whether a flute had a connection with her or somehow.

"That's right, the head joint, the body joint, and the foot joint," Shiratori said and explained, "A flute can be separated into those three sections."

"Could it be students leaving it behind?" Yuuki asked.

""It's possible, but only the body joint being there makes it strange," Kogorou said.

"So maybe it was a warning from the bomber?" Yuuki said.

"Warning from the bomber?"

"It's just speculation, you don't need to think much," Yuuki said.

Megure shook his head and looked at Reiko, "Does something come to your mind?"

Reiko was stunned for a while but shook her head, "No, nothing, I've had enough." She said and walked back to her seat.

Megure sighed, "Yuuki, if you have noticed something, please call us."

"Alright, I will definitely help her," Yuuki said with a nod.

"Why are you very spirited in this case?" Sato felt strange since he was usually quite lazy.

"Nothing, she is somehow similar to my girlfriend," Yuuki said and left them.

"...."

They were a bit speechless by his words.

Yuuki saw that Reiko and the kids were talking to each other.

"Won't you coach us for the music competition?" Mitsuko said.

"Ha?" Reiko was surprised.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki also joined them.

"Ah, Yuuki-nii, can you help us to coach the music competition?" Ayumi asked.

"Yeah, together with this aunty then the trophy will be in our hands already," Genta said.

"Aunty!!" Reiko was angry but sighed, "I will help you."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yeah, I will help you and that is why you should get out of this place and don't bother with the training now!" Reiko said.

They couldn't do anything since they knew that they would become a bother when they were here.

Yuuki said to them and he would stay to learn an organ for tonight. He told both Rossweisse and Uomi that he would master this organ as soon as possible.

Reiko looked at him, "You are going to stay here tonight?"

"Yeah," Yuuki nodded even though he didn't really want to but his professionalism didn't let him do anything in half-asset. He looked at her and asked, "Are you also really going to coach them?"

"I don't mind since I'm one of their alumni," Reiko said.

"Then do you want to go there together there?" Yuuki said and knew that she wanted to reject him, "I'm not sure but I felt that you've been targeted by someone."

"....." Reiko frowned.

"I'm not forcing you to agree but at least I can protect you from them," Yuuki said and added, "Or do you want police to accompany you? I'm sure that they will be more than happy to do that."

Reiko sighed, "Please do that."

Yuuki smiled, "Alright." He didn't continue to talk with her since he needed to focus on practicing the organ.
