Chapter 1683 "Failure to Win Over"

A week ago, a party was held at the Haido City Hotel to celebrate the first concert in the new theater today, so it was called the "eve festival."

At the same time, because Asabuki Ken was the permanent conductor of the New Imperial Metropolis Symphony Orchestra, and his relationship with Asabuki Ken was made public, major magazines and television media came to this party to interview and report on it. Therefore, in addition to the members of the New Imperial Metropolis Symphony Orchestra, there were also many other outside guests attending the party.

Therefore, Shirozuka Hisui participated in this "eve festival" as a freelance writer, and used her relationship with "Rieko" to successfully connect with Osuga Shuhei at the party.

Of course, at this "eve of the festival", Shirozuka Hisui did not directly try to get close to Asabuki Akira, because at that time, he and Osuga Yui were the real protagonists of the party, and all the spotlights surrounded them.

In that situation, it would obviously be an unwise choice to try to get close to Chao Chuxian as an outsider.

Therefore, in the end, when Osuga Hidehei came forward and asked the reporters to "give the two lovers some time to enjoy the party, and give everyone some interview time after the party is over", the whole party was back on track. Almost all the reporters were invited by Osuga Hidehei to the periphery of the party. Only Shirozuka Hisui took advantage of the situation and successfully mixed into the core of the party and successfully witnessed the truly intriguing scene at the "pre-festival" -

At the formal party, as Osuga Yui's biological father, Osuga Shuhei formally found Asabuki Akira and said to him in front of Osuga Yui, "I'm leaving my daughter to you."

Then, even at these parties where only members of the New Imperial City Symphony Orchestra were present, a young woman, like a star chaser, held a large bouquet of flowers and expressed her congratulations to Chao Chuxian:

"I'm so excited! I can share this wonderful moment with Mr. Akira Asabuki!"

"Thank you...Excuse me, who are you?"

After taking the bouquet of flowers from the woman, Asakabuki seemed not to know the woman.

"Oh, sorry, is this our first meeting today? My name is Shigeno Haruna."

So, the woman introduced herself.

Shigeno Haruna, a staff member of the New Imperial Metropolis Symphony Orchestra's General Affairs Office, is 24 years old. It is said that she chose a job related to classical music because she admires Akira Asabuki. She is a die-hard fan, but she is not a newcomer who has just started working...

After witnessing this scene, Shirozuka Hisui quickly found out the identity of this woman from others with her communication skills.

And, even after Shirozuka Hisui learned this, the conversation between them continued -

Faced with such a large bouquet of flowers, after Asabuki Ken accepted and praised it, the words "Rieko's is also included" came out of Shigeno Haruna's mouth as if unintentionally.

Suddenly, as the name "Rieko" appeared, the originally harmonious atmosphere seemed to have a small crack, and Asabuki's expression began to become somewhat intriguing -

"Hee! This is what I want to see!"

At this moment, after witnessing this scene, Shirozuka Hisui felt proud in her heart, and cast an approving look at the seemingly innocent-looking Miss Haruna.

After all, the purpose of his coming here was to test the relationship between Rieko and Asabuki Akira.

As a staff member of the band's affairs office, Asabuki Akira didn't know Shigeno Haruna, but when he heard Rieko's name, his reaction was definitely not just an expression of embarrassment because of the appearance of an unlucky name in such a happy party, but...

  A hint of nervous anger?

In comparison, Osuga Yui's reaction to this name was much more normal——

"Yeah... It's really unfortunate what happened to Rieko." "Well, it was an unexpected accident."

After Asabuki Akira responded with something that sounded like regret, Osuga Yui simply echoed this, without any extra emotion towards a deceased person whom she was not very familiar with.

Just like that, after that, Hisui Shirozuka lost interest in their conversation until—

“It’s so exciting!”

A sudden noise in the meeting hall caught everyone's attention, and amid the noise, a middle-aged man walked towards them.

Her hair was messy as if she had just woken up, and her clothes were wrinkled. She didn't look like someone who should be attending a party.

His appearance caused a stir at the party, especially since he claimed that he was the author of the report "Behind the Scenes of the Selection of the Permanent Conductor of the Beihu Art Theater Symphony Orchestra."

For a moment, everyone realized that this person had bad intentions, and when Osuga Hidehei tried his best to remain restrained and explained that he was not invited to the party and asked him to leave, he said that there was no one to greet him at the door for such a grand party, and he had signed his name in the sign-in book at the door before coming in.

In this way, the reporter named "Kusuda Rikuu" continued to provoke at the party, and specifically came towards Asabuki Akira and patted him on the shoulder. As a result, Asabuki Akira and Kusuda Rikuu almost came into a fight.

In the end, Kusuda Rikuu said meaningfully to Asabuki Akira, or perhaps to everyone in the audience, "There's no rush, we'll meet again," and then he left the venue.

But because of his influence, the party was ruined, so Osuga Shuhei was worried that this person would come to cause trouble on the day of the performance. Therefore, Shirozuka Hisui found an excuse to "ask the detective for help". At the same time, after Kusuda Rikuu left, Asabuki Akira seemed to be thinking about something silently...

……

"So, the possibility that Rieko is related to Asabuki Akira is indeed very high, and when Kusuda Rikuu appeared, Asabuki Akira's reaction to this person was not quite right... and now, Kusuda Rikuu died here..."

After listening to what Hisui Shirozuka had to say, Gao Yuan nodded seriously, and felt more and more that perhaps this incident was the proof of the problem—

The murderer is most likely Chao Bukki himself!

However, compared to this, what Gao Yuan is more concerned about at the moment is actually Mizunashi Rena——

After all, her identity is not a secret to Gao Yuan at all. Such a person appears here and wants to interview Akira Asabuki. At the same time, there is also a Kusuda Rikuu whose name is very similar to Kusuda Rikumichi, a member of the original organization, who appears here. It seems that he has been eyeing Akira Asabuki for a long time...

How could Gao Yuan not think about this?

Considering Asabuki Akira's current fame, he is a young and promising conductor after all, so it is understandable if the organization wants to contact him.

But now, Kusuda Rikuu is dead...

  So, how would Mizuno Rena react?

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan looked around and didn't seem to see Mizuno Rena -

  So, where is Mizuno Rena at this time?

It turned out that after learning that the deceased was Kusuda Rikuu, Mizunashi Rena used the excuse of going to the toilet, and at this moment, she was holding her mobile phone, writing an email -

"The attempt to win him over failed, and Kusuda Rikuu was suspected to have angered the other party and was killed..."
