Oops, I think there is a mistake in the order of execution of the right trigger object in my example. It will give correct results when using the gui to change the number values, but I can see conditions where such an approach will lead to unexpected values. I think it can be fixed simply by swapping the leads of the right trigger object.

I know that the multiplying object stores two values (left inlet and right inlet) and performs the operation when both are stored or when a bang is sent to the left inlet.

Not really. As lorenzo said, PD has strict rules regarding inlets and order or execution. The [* ] only stores the value of the right inlet. Any value sent to the left inlet will not be stored, it will simply be multiplied by the stored value. So when you change the DeTuner value, it will simply be multiplied by itself. There are other ways to accomplish what you want, but I think the simplest is probably to use two [* ] objects. See attached.
