Chapter Forty-Nine: The Supernatural Murder on Moon Shadow Island, the Dead~
Inside Dr. Sungsil's office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Asai Narumi poured Shu Yunwen and the others a drink, and after a few polite words to each other, Kogoro Maori also raised the issue of finding a client.
"Ahh
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes.
Well, if he hadn't known that it was Dr. Chengshi who sent the letter of entrustment, he might have been deceived......
Mori Kogoro smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. However, we have already asked in the public office just now, and since Mr. Keiji Aso is dead, I reasoned and guessed that the person who sent us this letter was probably a friend of Mr. Keiji Aso. Moreover, the commission fee we received was not a small amount, and his friend should still be a very rich friend. So, we would like to ask, do you have the impression that there are such people?"
As the words fell, Conan rolled his eyes on the side - Hey, hey, hey, hey, this uncle, what did you deduce about what you said?
Shu Yunwen also smiled and said: "The letter of entrustment given to us by the client is too vague. Only by finding the client can we do what the client asks us to do......"
Dr. Narumi replied, "Actually, I was born in Tokyo, and I have only been on this island for a little more than three years...... However, I have heard from a patient that Keiji Aso, Mr. Kuroiwa, Mr. Kawashima, Mr. Kameyama, and Mr. Nishimoto seem to be friends since childhood......"
"Oh?" said Uncle Maori, "could you tell us about these four gentlemen?"
Dr. Chengshi nodded, "Of course it's no problem." Mr. Tatsuji Kuroiwa, who is the current village chief of Moonshadow Island, Mr. Kawashima, whose name is Hideo, is a well-known bourgeoisie and tycoon on the island, Mr. Ken Nishimoto has no career, and Mr. Kameyama, who is the former village chief of Moonshadow Island, died three years ago. By the way, today is the third anniversary of Mr. Kameyama's death, and there will be a memorial service in the public hall in a while~ ......"
"Hmm?Is Mr. Kameyama dead?" Conan belongs to the type of "I'm smarter than anyone else when I hear the dead", "What is the cause of Mr. Kameyama's death?
Dr. Chengshi chuckled and shook his head, "How could it be? He just died! Mr. Kameyama had a heart attack, and then no one found out when he had a heart attack, and finally died." Dr. Chengshi paused and continued: "However, when he died, he collapsed on the piano in the public hall, and the piano played a piece of music for his funeral. I've heard that the owner of that piano seems to be the Keiji Aso you are talking about. Since then, it has been said that Keiji Aso's ghost seems to have been attached to that piano......"
“...... Ghosts, ghosts?" Xiaolan was scared.
Conan pouted: "Sister Xiaolan, there are no ghosts in this world at all! Even if there are ghosts, they will only appear in novels and TV series......"
Uncle Maori also ignored the topic of "ghosts" and said, "In this case, it is very likely that Mr. Hideo Kawashima entrusted us to come? Of the three people, it seems that he is the only one who fits the characteristics the most......
Conan's imp vetoed Uncle Maori's words again: "No, that's not the case, Uncle Maori. It's also possible that the current village chief of Moon Shadow Island, Mr. Tatsuji Kuroiwa, is also the village chief. By the way, Dr. Chengshi, that Mr. Nishimoto Ken has no occupation, and his usual life must be very poor, right?"
"Not really. Dr. Chengshi shook his head, "Although Mr. Nishimoto Ken has no career, he seems to be very rich. I heard that three years ago, he drank alcohol, gambled, and played with women every day, which required a lot of expenses......"
"Oh?" Conan smirked, "In that case, this Mr. Nishimoto Ken may also come up with a large sum of money to hire us to come to Moonshadow Island." In this way, there is a good chance that all three of them will ...... Ouch~"
Uncle Maori's hand was removed from Conan's head: "Little ghost, don't pretend to be an adult for me, ask questions!"
Then, Uncle Maori looked at Dr. Chengshi with a smile again: "I'm really sorry, the child is too messy." Well, however, these three people are indeed very likely to be the principals. So, Dr. Sungsil, how can we find the three of them?"
Dr. Chengshi glanced at Conan, and then said with a smile: "If you want to find them, then you can go to the public hall!" I just said that the public hall will hold a memorial service for the former village head, Mr. Kameyama~, the village chief of Kuroiwa, Mr. Kawashima, and Mr. Nishimoto, they are all friends who grew up together since childhood, so they should all go. By the way, actually, I'll go too, but I have to do it after work~ When I came to this island, the first object of the autopsy was Mr. Kameyama......"
Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes.
After Dr. Chengshi went to the public hall, it was probably the beginning of the murder case, right?
"Really?" said Uncle Maori nodded with a smile, "Thank you so much for telling us this." ”
After a few more conversations, Uncle Maori stood up and said goodbye.
After the group walked out of the Moon Shadow Island Clinic, Conan turned his head to look at Shu Yunwen, curious: "Brother Yunwen, you didn't seem to ask anything just now......
Shu Yunwen was still thinking about what he wanted to help Chengshi, and after hearing Conan's question, he came back to his senses, and then rolled his eyes: "You have already asked what you should ask, what else do I have to ask?"
"Hmm...... No matter how much it is. Now that we're on Moonshadow Island, we should also take the opportunity to taste the food on Moonshadow Island......"
Uncle Maori turned into a foodie, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Conan: "Uncle Maori, I think we should go to the public hall first to have a look! Those three people may be in the public hall now." Well...... If we can find a client, maybe they will treat us to the most unique and delicious ...... of Moonshadow Island."
"Uh......" Uncle Maori held his chin, "little ghost, what you said makes sense!"
The real food on Moonshadow Island is, of course, only found by the people of Moonshadow Island.
And, most importantly...... If you find a client, it must be a treat from the client, and you don't need to spend money on his Maori Kogoro~
“...... In that case, let's go to the public hall first. ”
......
Outside the public hall.
Hirata Kazuaki bowed to Shu Yunwen and Maori Kogoro: "All in all, before the end of the memorial method~ meeting, please wait here at the door and don't run around...... After the memorial method~ meeting is over, the village chief and they will meet with you. Please!"
After Hirata Kazuaki finished speaking, he was about to turn around and go in.
Shu Yunwen hurriedly said: "Secretary Hirata, I'm a soul exterminator! There is a memorial method here~ Yes, but you let me stay outside as a soul exterminator......
Hirata Kazuaki turned around: "Shusang, please don't trouble us, okay? We have already invited the monks in the temple." ”
After Hirata Kazuaki entered the public hall, Uncle Maori muttered, "What an impolite guy! Can such a person be the secretary of the village chief......?"
Shu Yunwen turned his head and looked at Conan helplessly: "Edogawa little bonyou, do you think it's very interesting? It's all because you make trouble in it and play that piano indiscriminately, we will be kicked out!"
That's right, Shu Yunwen and the others originally entered the public hall and were waiting to meet, but Conan's little ghost ran around, and ran into a room with a piano, played the piano, and then ...... They were kicked out~
Well, a bunch of not-so-friendly guys.
Conan didn't care too much about it: "That Mr. Hirata, he seems to be nervous about that piano. Also, that piano doesn't look like it hasn't been played in a long time. Its timbre is still very accurate, if no one tunes it, it won't be like this~!"
"Yes, it's a ghost! It must be a ghost! It's Mr. Aso's ghost tuning it!" Xiaolan looked very frightened.
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes speechlessly-
Hey, hey, hey, do you want to get into the play so quickly? I, the soul slayer, haven't said a word yet......
Moreover, when he saw the piano just now, Shu Yunwen also opened his ghost eyes and glanced at it twice.
He could be sure that there was absolutely no ghost on that piano, not even a trace of yin qi.
"Damn...... It's starting to get dark. Mori Kogoro raised his hand and looked at his watch, "If I had known, I might as well go and get something to eat, and we wouldn't be waiting at the door of the public hall like we are now." Little ghost, it's all because of you!"
Uncle Maori also represented the people and bombarded Conan's little pot friend.
Conan smiled, glanced at the scared Xiaolan next to him, and suddenly had a tricking thought: "Sister Xiaolan, you said that it was dark, would there be a ghost running out?"
"Ahhhh
"Ouch~" Then, I saw Conan eating and lying on the ground with a helpless face.
Xiaolan hurriedly helped Conan up: "Conan, are you okay? really, who told you to scare me......"
"Haha...... Maori students, don't worry. If a ghost does escape, I'll catch it. When Shu Yunwen spoke, he looked at Conan with a smile on his face, and looked at Conan funny--little ghost, did you do it yourself?
"Then please Shusang!" Xiaolan Tongshou immediately said, I believe you.
"By the way, Dr. Chengshi looked beautiful in black just now!" Uncle Maori didn't know what was going on in his head.
Xiaolan was patting Conan's clothes, but when she heard this, she immediately glared at Uncle Maori: "Dad, can you also give me moderation?"
The four of them were chatting, and the sound of chanting was already faintly heard from inside the public hall.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaolan looked up at the sky: "The moon tonight seems to be very beautiful!"
Uncle Maori also looked up: "Yes! Such a beautiful moon is not common in Rice Flower Town...... The air quality here is really good...... Speaking of which, the piano room is connected to the sea behind it. If you look out from that room, the view at night is also wonderful. It's a pity, it's all to blame on this little ghost......"
Uncle Maori looked at Conan with resentment.
“...... Hehehehe......" Conan smirked and immediately changed the subject, "I don't know, how long will it take for this memorial method~ to end." ”
"It should be soon, right?" Shu Yunwen smiled, turned his head and glanced behind him, and his face changed when he saw the situation in the public hall behind him.
On the other side of the public hall, a yin qi and ghost qi slowly grew and dispersed towards the surroundings.
This sight also means that someone has died.
Asai Narumi finally got his hands dirty.
Shu Yunwen stood up, estimated the direction, and walked in the direction where the yin qi was breeding. Uncle Maori, Conan, and Xiaolan were all a little curious, and Conan even opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Yunwen, what are you doing over there?"
Shu Yunwen waved his hand and said casually: "I'll go for a walk in the woods, don't worry about me." ”
Uncle Maori glanced in Shu Yunwen's direction, and the two rings were on the back of his head: "Weird guy." ”
Conan squinted, suddenly stood up, and chased quickly in the direction of Shu Yunwen: "Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Maori, I'll go and see it too, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Conan, don't run around! It's really ......" Xiaolan looked in the direction where Conan ran and wanted to catch up, but when she looked at the inky woods, she was afraid and felt a kind of hair.
Uncle Maori glanced at him from a distance and said casually, "Okay, Xiaolan, don't worry about that little ghost." With Shusang taking care of him, he will be fine. ”
"But ......" Xiaolan hesitated, thought about it, and finally gave up to keep up.
In the woods.
Shu Yunwen looked at the little ghost who came behind him, a little helpless: "Edogawa little pot friend, why did you come with you?"
"Oh, isn't that possible?" Conan asked curiously, "Brother Yunwen, do you have to be alone for anything?"
Is it good for Lao Tzu to find out that Asai Chengshi killed people, and to deal with the evidence and traces?
Shu Yunwen complained in his heart, but said on his lips: "Cut! If you want to follow, then follow. ”
Conan answered, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, Brother Yunwen." Do you think there's something strange about Secretary Hirata?"
"Is it strange?" Shu Yunwen asked.
Conan nodded, "Of course! He was pretty good at the beginning. However, after seeing the piano, he seemed to lose his temper. I always felt as if he was hiding something......"
The two of them chatted with each other and without a pair, and Shu Yunwen slowly slipped to the soul position not far away.
Conan looked around curiously: "Here...... It must be the back of the piano room in the public hall, right?"
"It should be, it's strange, how did you sneak here?" Shu Yunwen watched from a distance, and through the faint light, he could see a newborn ghost floating on the sea, as well as some strange traces on the ground beach, which should be footprints.
That guy Narumi Asai shouldn't have drowned someone in the sea, right?
Shu Yunwen chanted a witch spell in his mouth, and then with the word "shooting", the newborn ghost had been caught by Shu Yunwen in his hand and turned into a soul ball.
Shu Yunwen looked down, only to see that on the surface of the soul ball, a hideous face kept trying, as if trying to break free.
Shu Yunwen has never seen this face. However, it should be one of the goals of success. Moreover, this newborn ghost should have lost his senses, and it is just the most common newborn ghost.
"From here, can I enter the piano room?" Conan said curiously, and wanted to walk forward.
Shu Yunwen hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Conan: "Edogawa little pot friend, don't run around." There's the beach right in front of you, and if you get swept away by the sea and die, I can't afford it. ”
"Hehehe......" Conan smirked, rolling his eyes wildly, ahh
As for Shu Yunwen, after carefully looking at the traces in the distance, after confirming that it should be footprints, he squinted his eyes, and recited the witch spell in his mouth again.
【Demon Sorcery・Imperial Spirit】!
As the witchcraft ended, in Shu Yunwen's hand, the ball of soul suddenly rose into the air, and a cloud of yin qi and ghost qi flew towards the beach not far away, and under the action of the strange force, the footprints on the sand were filled one by one, as if no one had walked over it at all.
After seeing that the footprints began to disappear, Shu Yunwen didn't stay any longer, took Conan's hand, turned around and left: "Okay, little ghost." I've had enough of wandering, I'm back!"
"Oh...... Okay!" Although Conan was a little strange, he didn't notice anything unusual, nodded, followed Shu Yunwen, and walked out of the woods.
Walking back to the door of the public hall, Xiaolan immediately hugged Conan: "Really, Conan, you are running around again, you are so disobedient! Shu Sang, I'm really sorry, Conan has caused you trouble." ”
"Oh, it's fine. Shu Yunwen shook his head casually, and at the same time, the newborn ghost in the distance quickly flew back into Shu Yunwen's hand, turning into a soul ball again.
Uncle Maori took a cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath and said, "Is there anything to see in the woods?"
Shu Yunwen replied with a smile: "Of course not." As I said, I'm just going to ......."
"Huh?" Before he finished speaking, all of a sudden, he heard the sound of a piano coming from inside the public hall.
Conan listened for a few seconds, then his face changed dramatically, pushed open the door of the public hall, and rushed in quickly.
Uncle Maori looked solemn and also stood up: "Xiaolan, if I'm not mistaken, this song should be ......"
"...... "Moonlight", right?" Shu Yunwen took over the conversation, looked at the figure of Conan running briskly in the public hall, and immediately followed.
Seeing this, Uncle Maori and Xiaolan also rushed into the public hall together.
In the public hall, Conan followed the sound, found the door of the piano room, and pushed the door open vigorously.
As far as the eye could see, in the empty room, on the piano directly from the door, a soaking wet man sat in a chair, his head resting on the keyboard, his face facing the window. Next to the piano, the sound of beautiful and light music sounds, as if from heaven, but also from hell.
Uncle Maori also rushed to the door of the piano room at this time, and after seeing the situation in the room, he immediately rushed into the room, stretched out his hand and pressed on the neck of the deceased, and after a few seconds, he closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly: "It's too late, he's already dead." ”
Conan also walked into the room, first looked at the soaked corpse, there were water stains along the ground, and walked to the back door of the beach.
"The corpse should have been brought in from here. The water stains on the ground should be seawater, and there are some sand in the traces of the ground, and the feet of the deceased are also stained with sand. The preliminary judgment is that someone must have called the deceased out, then pressed it into the water and drowned, and dragged it into the piano room through the back door......"
Conan reasoned in his heart, and at the same time thought of the incident when he and Shu Yunwen saw the situation on the beach from the woods before.
"Extrapolating from time, when Shu Yunwen and I were in the woods, the deceased had already been killed and dragged into the room. Damn, who did it?!"
Conan was still thinking in his heart, and as for Shu Yunwen, with a smile on his face, he looked out at the beach through the window of the back door.
The water on the beach is surging, and on the beach, the ground is flat and there is not a trace of it.
Conan walked up to Shu Yunwen, jumped hard to the position of the back door window, looked outside, and the whole person was stunned.
Ground ...... How could there be no traces?
"Damn!" Uncle Maori yelled as he turned his head to see Dr. Chengshi in the crowd, "Dr. Chengshi, can you please help with the autopsy?"
"Ahh However, before the autopsy, it is not certain that ......"
"Drowned...... And there are traces on the ground...... "Mori Kogoro also walked to the back door, "was he drowned in the sea, and then dragged to this room......? I'm Detective Mori Kogoro, I'm going to get you arrested!"
Conan said solemnly, "Uncle Maori, my reasoning is the same as yours. It's just that don't you think there's something missing on the beach outside?"
Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment: "Is there anything missing?"
"Outside on the beach, there were no footprints or trails of dragging. Conan spoke.
Uncle Maori stared outside, then unscrewed the door and looked at the beach: "Really, really not? How is this possible? How the hell did he do it, without leaving footprints?!"
Conan also stood on the wooden ladder in front of the door, looking at the flat beach below, and there was a slightly obvious drag mark of water stains: "...... If our reasoning is correct, it means that the most crucial link that can support our reasoning is missing from the beach. That is, this is ......"
“...... It is impossible to commit a crime!"
