Harvey frowned from the judges' panel at the front.

Casey leaned over and asked, "Mr. Herty, what's wrong?"

Harvey sipped from his thermos and replied, "Don't you think the 49th piece sounds a little familiar?"

Having just listened to the 50th piece, Casey had already forgotten the melody of the 49th.

[Wasn't that piece accused of plagiarism?]

could still instantly recognize that it was the same melody.

Casey handed him his phone. "Take a look at this."
