Chapter 9: Moonlight Sonata: Conan (1)

I'm a high school student detective Shinichi Kudo, and when I went to the amusement park with my childhood friend Mao Lilan, I witnessed the suspicious transaction scene of the man in black, and I was just looking at the peeping, no, it was a peeping. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info ignored another accomplice from behind. I was drugged by the man and when I woke up......

My body has shrunk! If they knew that Kudo Shinichi was still alive, not only would my life be at risk, but my loved ones would also be in danger. At Dr. Asasa's suggestion, I withheld my identity. When Ran asked for my name, I assumed the name Conan Edogawa. In order to collect information about those guys, he lived in his father's Xiaolan house, who was a detective.

Although I haven't found out the true face of the men in black yet, I must settle the matter with them in the name of the detective. A detective with a smaller body but just as flexible a mind that can solve any puzzle!

I firmly believe that there is always only one truth!

Now, however, a mysterious figure appeared in front of me, his name was Twilight Star, my classmate, and the only son of Officer Twilight.

I had asked Dr. Asa to investigate him secretly, and if it weren't for the complete background information, I would have every reason to suspect that he was, like me, an adult who had become smaller after drinking drugs.

After the murder at the museum, I approached him and asked him to give me an explanation, only to receive a letter of war from him.

I have always believed that all criminals deserve to be punished by the law, and that we have no right to deprive others of their lives, no matter how good the reasons may be. But this guy wants to help the real culprit cover up his crimes.

I admit that there are some people who deserve sympathy, but no one can make a judgment in place of the law, and since you are going to carry out your convictions, then I must also insist on my will.

Come on, I'll take your challenge and see who can find out the truth sooner.

……

A week ago, Uncle Maori received an anonymous letter made from newspaper clippings.

"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Lunaris Island, so please investigate why. Keiji Aso. ”

If it had been before, Uncle Maori, who was struggling to make ends meet, and often did not receive a commission for several weeks, would have rushed over as soon as possible. But since I helped him solve a few cases, my uncle has a certain reputation in the circle, so now he can pick his favorite cases to investigate.

Uncle Maori, who originally received an anonymous letter, didn't take it seriously, and he was going to see Yoko Okino concert on the weekend, but a mysterious phone call changed his mind.

The man's hoarse voice came out of the earpiece: "There are still two days before the full moon, and the fee of 500,000 yen has already been entered, you must come." ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute, who the hell are you?"

"Keiji Aso of Moonshadow Island. ”

After saying that, the phone hung up.

I once told my uncle that I should put a caller monitor on the phone so that I could find out where the call came from, but he preferred to buy a few more beers with this money.

Compared to him, I have a lot of special props made by Dr. Asasa.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. It's no wonder that after all these years, I have become the savior of the Japanese police, and my uncle is just a confused detective who leads the case into a labyrinth.

At this moment, I am standing on the boat to Moonshadow Island, the salty sea breeze is blowing on my face, and for me, who has always lived in the metropolis, I am very happy to be able to come to this kind of rural island with my beloved Xiaolan. It would have been more perfect if Uncle Maori had not been a light bulb.

Uncle Maori lit a cigarette and stood at the bow of the boat and complained: "Really, you can go to enjoy the flowers, why do my detective Maori Kogoro have to go to that kind of island!"

When others hear my uncle's complaints, they will think that he is too far away to come, but I know that my uncle dislikes his client, Keiji Aso, and this name is a man at first glance.

Don't you see? Uncle is using the metaphor of flower viewing to see beautiful women!

After landing on the island, we first went to the island office. It was learned from the staff that Keiji Aso, the client of this incident, had died twelve years earlier.

It was a full moon night twelve years ago, and the famous pianist Keiji Aso returned to his hometown to hold a piano recital at the village public hall. After the recital, he suddenly killed his wife and daughter, and set a fire, as if he was entangled in something in the raging flames, and continued to play the piano. It is Beethoven's piano sonata "Moonlight".

Hearing that the "dead man" was sending a letter to himself, Uncle Maori first thought that it was a prank.

But I don't think so, no one would make such a joke with 500,000 yen for no reason, not to mention that the postmark on the letter is also from Shadowmoon Island.

The detective's instincts told me that this trip to Moonshadow Island would be fun, and the detective blood I had hidden in my body was already boiling.

Under the persuasion of Ran and me, Uncle Maori decided to go to the public hall where Keiji Aso died first.

On the way, we passed a small clinic and met a lovely older sister named Narumi Asai, who is a doctor on the island.

It was learned from her that the village chief was currently being elected on Moonshadow Island. The three candidates are Mr. Shimizu, a representative of the fishermen, Mr. Kuroiwa, the current head of the village, and Mr. Kawashima, the island's biggest asset. In addition, tonight at the public hall, a ceremony will be held to commemorate the third anniversary of the death of the former village head, Mr. Isamu Kameyama.

When I came to the public hall, I first took a general look at the terrain and found that the public hall was built on the seaside, and the back door faced the sea.

Walking around the building, we came to an empty room with a slightly old piano on its own.

Just when Xiaolan wanted to touch the piano. A middle-aged man with glasses walked in and stopped, "This is the cursed piano that Mr. Aso played at the concert on the day of his death......"

It turned out that not only Mr. Aso, but also the former village head, Mr. Isamu Kameyama, used this piano to play "Moonlight" before he died.

It's ridiculous, I've studied materialism, how could I believe in such a deceptive thing!

Then I played the piano a few times, and found that the sound of the piano was completely fine, and it felt like someone had recently adjusted it, and it didn't look like it had not been used for more than ten years.

The middle-aged man, who claimed to be Mr. Hirata, the secretary of the current village chief, Kuroiwa, became very nervous when he saw me playing the piano, and "politely" invited us out of the room, locked the door, and asked us to wait in the entrance for the end of the ceremony.

On the way to the entrance, we met Dr. Sung Sil again, who had come to pay respects as the examiner of the body of the former village chief. During the visit, he also introduced us to the candidate for village head who traveled with him, Mr. Shimizu, a representative of the fishermen.

The ritual was long and tedious, and I sat in the hallway and waited, thinking about the case.

Letters sent by the dead twelve years ago, the cursed piano. I had a hunch that something big was going to happen.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of piano playing in the public hall, although I was not good at singing, but I could hear that the piano sound was Beethoven's moonlight sonata!

I subconsciously looked up at the starry sky and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky.

I hurried to the piano room, but I was still a step too late.

One of the three candidates for village chief, Mr. Kawashima, the island's biggest capitalist, lies motionless in front of the legendary cursed piano.
