Chapter 2633: The Deaf
"What do you mean?" Zhao Yu asked, "Why don't I know?"
"Although Long Dan's ears are deaf, he is a person who cares about face," said the old man. "Even in the regiment, few people know this secret!"
oh……
Only then did Zhao Yu realize that the target he was looking for was not missing an ear, but being deaf! He is deaf!
Dragon pill, dragon pill...
There are still foreigners with this kind of name, so... is this person really the target I am looking for?
"No way?" Zhao Yu could only continue nonsense, "He's not totally deaf, he must be deaf in only one ear, right? You sure don't know which one it is, right?"
"Left ear," the old man narrowed his eyes, as if he regarded Zhao Yu as an uninvited guest, "I won't remember this wrong! He is a cellist, and if he can't hear it with his left ear, his pitch will deviate, and only I can hear it." Come out!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu began to feel excited because he had obtained important information. He thought quickly and said, "The world tour in the 1990s, all Dragon Pills are here? I can't hear anything..."
"Of course," the old man took another sip of his wine and said, "There is more than one cellist in the symphony orchestra, and if there is a deviation in pitch, even professionals may not be able to hear it!
"However, if Long Dan didn't have ear problems, he could have become the best cellist in the world. When I first joined the orchestra, he even held a special cello performance!
"It's a pity, alas..."
"In the 1990s and 1991, you first went to Seoul to perform, and then went to Tokyo a month later, right?" Zhao Yu asked again, "At that time, you were not a conductor, right? I really have no impression of you. Already!"
"You... I'm old, I don't want to curse people anymore," the old man glared at Zhao Yu, and said, "At that time, I had been in command for several years!
"Your words really make me want to hit someone. Do you really...don't know me? Or is it purely for provocation?"
"No, no, no..." Zhao Yu said, "To be honest, I really want to find Long Dan and take a photo with him. I don't know, he is now..." Zhao Yu pointed to the concert hall opposite, "He is in Not in there?"
"He quit a long time ago!" said the old man, "Probably... well... after 95 years, he quit the band voluntarily because of his illness worsening!
"Actually, he can be regarded as good at the beginning and good at the end. Let's be famous!" The old man said, "Quit at the best time, without regret! However, he is a bit strange and has no friends. I went to see him a few times, but none See, after that, basically cut off contact...
"It's just that I saw him at an old man's funeral!"
"In 1995," Zhao Yu asked, "is it after that performance in Toronto?"
"Yes!" The old man nodded, "I'm beginning to believe your words, you really have seen a lot of performances by the Royal Orchestra!"
"What does it mean that his condition has worsened?" Zhao Yu asked again, "Apart from his ears, what else is wrong with him?"
"You really care about him!" The old man took another sip, but the wine was dry, and he sighed helplessly, "It's the ears, what he suffers from is a rare auditory neurosis, and his right ear also suffers from slow hearing. Slowly degenerate until nothing is heard!
"It is said that after 1995, he had undergone surgery, cochlear implants and other things, but none of them succeeded... The best hearing aids can only make him barely hear a little bit!"
"Man," Zhao Yuchong snapped his fingers at the waiter, then pointed at the old man and said, "Give our conductor some of your best wine! I'll pay for it!"
"Yes, sir!" The waiter bowed politely, "Excuse me, what wine do you want?"
"Whisky, my favorite!" The old man directly handed the shiny jug to the waiter.
"It's always been so hard for an artist!" Zhao Yu said, "Long Dan entered the silent world,
That's why his temper and personality are a little different, right? "
"That's not absolute," the old man said. "It was the same when Long Dan was not turned into a cage! Even if he has become the greatest cellist now, he still has no friends, I dare to say! Hehe..."
Because Zhao Yu bought wine for him, the old man gradually eliminated his hostility and smiled.
"I remember, does Long Dan like Van Gogh?" Zhao Yu continued his efforts and asked again.
"Huh? Really?" The old man said uncertainly, "Why don't I know? However, Van Gogh also seems to be missing an ear, right? Do you cherish each other? Hehehe..."
"He... where does he live now?" Zhao Yu asked again.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find him," said the old man, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and I don't even know if I'm alive or not!
"His old house is in Berkshire, but it's sold!"
"Then..." Zhao Yu asked again, "No one around you has seen him again?"
"Well..." the old man shook his head and said, "No more! But... I don't know, what's going on... No one has asked about it for more than ten years, but in the past month, so many people have asked about Long Dan. ,What's going on here?"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Has anyone else looked for Long Dan?"
"The wine is here..." At this moment, the waiter brought back the jug and poured Zhao Yu a glass of whiskey at the same time.
"My baby," the old man took the jug, took a sip quickly, and said with a satisfied expression on his face, "Last month, an old man came to me and asked me about Long Dan's whereabouts!
"Besides, the old people in the orchestra are all similar to me, they have been questioned one after another, even the police...
"Hey, you're an Asian, what do you want Long Dan to do?" The old man said, "Why do I feel like he's not his fan? Did Long Dan do something wrong?"
"Old man," Zhao Yu asked, "what kind of old man? An Asian like me, or..."
"Well..." said the old man, "he's a decent guy, either Asian or white! About my age, he looks a little familiar, oh... and has a strong London accent!"
"London accent?" Zhao Yu frowned, recalled carefully, and felt that there was no such person in his memory.
etc……
look familiar?
Zhao Yu thought of something, hurriedly took out his mobile phone, opened the photo of the former richest man in the world, Londi, then showed it to the old man and asked:
"Look, is it this person!!?"
"Hmm..." The old man made a careful identification, shook his head and said, "No, that person doesn't wear glasses, and he is thinner than this person! He speaks quite softly, um...wait a minute, you haven't told me yet Me, why are you looking for Long Dan!
"He... what happened to him?"
"Long Dan... um..." Zhao Yu's thoughts turned sharply, his eyes sparkled. At this moment, he has realized that he is about to get close to that important truth!
So, he quickly changed his mind and asked the old man: "Did Long Dan ever go to Yunzhou when he was young? Did he believe in a very special kind of witchcraft!!?"
