Chapter III: Facts of the Case
After a detailed examination of the deceased, Chengshi gave his own test results:
"The deceased, Hideo Kawashima, the cause of death was suffocation, and the time of death was about half an hour to an hour ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I want to... I guess I was drowned by the murderer in the sea. ”
Listening to the truth, Conan reached out and dipped the water stains on the ground and put them to his lips and licked them.
Not... It's salty, that's right... It's seawater.
Chengshi twitched the corners of his mouth with some disgust, the boy... This is the water that has soaked the corpse.
Then, Conan walked to the window again, turned to the crowd, and said, "You see, the coat on the beach outside is probably the deceased's belongings. ”
"From that door to the piano, there were also staccato traces of dragging from the seashore, and the deceased's back was also stained with mud and sand. Moreover, given that the door or the windows of the room were all locked, the first few minutes of the tape would have been blank, since no one had entered the room during that time. ”
"And the murderer should have taken Mr. Kawashima to the beach to drown in the middle of the ritual, and then carried the body to this room, and finally locked it, pressed the switch of the tape recorder, and walked out of the room back to the corridor."
After speaking his reasoning in one breath, Conan also noticed the strange gazes that everyone was looking at him. After secretly screaming that something was not good, Conan hurriedly pulled Mori Kogoro's sleeve and said with a stupid smile, "I'm right, Uncle Mori!" ”
"That's right, I didn't expect you to really learn two hands from me, hahahaha!"
Hehehe... Conan laughed dryly.
Next, with the help of Conan's reasoning, Mori Kogoro told everyone at the scene his own inference - the murderer was among the people who participated in the mage.
looked at everyone's panicked looks, and the undisguised suspicion of each other in their eyes. Chengshi shook his head, stepped forward and picked up the sheet music on the piano, and asked, "Hey, strange... Where did this score come from? ”
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Chengshi, Conan walked over and took the score, observed it for a moment, his face changed, and he exclaimed: "It's..." ”
“!!” After hearing this, Nishimoto's fitness body in the crowd began to tremble again.
Everyone present also began to discuss this matter, and Cheng Shi took this opportunity to quietly pull Conan to the vicinity of Nishimoto Ken, and said in a low voice: "Conan, you are so good at reasoning!" So you say... Could this score have something to do with Mr. Aso's death? ”
Hearing this, Ken Nishimoto trembled even more violently.
"I don't know, I'd like to hear Sister Chengshi's opinion." Conan is cute.
Sister, your sister... Chengshi resisted the urge to rub Conan's hair up, pretended to be mysterious and a little scared, and whispered, "You say... Could it be that there is some kind of secret hidden between some people and Mr. Aso, who died ten years ago? ”
And in order to keep this secret, one of them was determined to kill the rest of them. And you recall it carefully...... Just now, the head of Kuroiwa Village found out that Mr. Kawashima was dead, but he didn't show a sad look, they were all childhood playmates..."
"I don't think things have come to fruition, my sister thinks it's so complicated." Conan rolled his eyes, hey, hey... Your heart is too dark, isn't it? Black-bellied girl, you've overdone it!
"That's right... I'm just guessing. Sung Shi scratched his cheek 'embarrassed'.
Who knew that after Chengshi said his inference, Ken Nishimoto, who was shaking non-stop, slowly calmed down. His face, pale from irregular life, slowly pressed down and buried in his chest, so that people could not see his expression, and could only feel an inexplicable depression.
By this time, it was getting late. Mori Kogoro had no choice but to announce that everyone present should go home first and wait for tomorrow's questioning.
With Mori Kogoro's permission, people began to leave in twos and threes.
Serumi watched silently as Nishimoto walked through the corridor until it disappeared......
Some mentally unstable people, when threatened, tend to burst out with greater energy than normal people. It's like a balloon that's already full of gas, if you continue to inject gas into it, the result will only be an explosion......
……
The three of them walked along the sidewalk by the sea towards the hotel, and not far from the hotel was Chengshi's apartment.
Looking at Conan's frowning and pondering the case, his little face had maturity that should not be there at this age. Cheng Shi's heart moved, and he reached out and nodded his chin and said, "Conan's reasoning is so powerful!" ”
"yes, this kid's favorite thing is to imitate detectives." Xiaolan smiled and rubbed Conan's head, looking pure and gentle.
"That's right, it's such a rare interest. I always feel that Conan doesn't look like a child~ It's like an adult getting smaller! ”
Accept... Nani!!? Conan was startled when he heard this, and he was shocked like an electric shock, and his feet slipped so that he didn't fall.
"But how is this possible..."Cheng Shi shook his head with a light smile, negating his previous speculation.
"That's right... That's right, how could something like Sister Chengshi say! You say yes, Sister Xiaolan! Conan wiped his cold sweat and sold cuteness, and laughed dryly in his heart: Heh... Hehe, in fact, this kind of weird thing can really happen......
"Hmm...," Xiaolan nodded inexplicably, "yes... yes, of course that can't happen. ”
"Alas, I really hope that this case can be ended sooner, this kind of autopsy work is enough for such a once..."Chengshi sighed, and the frowning appearance made people can't help but want to protect. Hope.
"Doctor Chengshi, please rest assured, with my detective Mori Kogoro appearing, this kind of small case will come to light tomorrow! Hahaha..."Mori Kogoro showed his trademark tongue out laughing.
Hey, there are still many suspicious points in this case...... Conan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Huh?" Chengshi suddenly screamed.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... After you walked under the street lamp just now, your shadow disappeared, and it felt a little scary..."After speaking, Chengshi shrugged again: "Alas... I've really been affected by the case just now, this kind of thing, what's so scary. ”
"That is to say, Sister Chengshi, don't scare yourself anymore!" Conan replied angrily, and then, his body trembled, wait! … Lamplight... Shadow... Disappear...... I see, I see.
"Hey, hey! You little ghost was shocked, what the hell is wrong? Mori Kogoro grabbed Conan by the back collar and pulled him into the air, blowing his beard and glaring.
"Daddy!"
Xiaolan screamed in dissatisfaction, and Maori Kogoro put Conan down.
After Conan returned to the embrace of the earth, he said eagerly, "Uncle, do you remember the letter signed by Keiji Aso? ”
"How could I forget such a thing!"
"The letter says, 'When the next full moon comes, shadows will begin to disappear again on Lunaris Island.' Is that so, uncle? ”
"That's right."
"I want to... The full moon refers to today's full moon night, the shadow represents people, and disappearing means being killed. And the reason why the shadow disappears is because it is shrouded in light. ”
"Light? Do you mean the "Moonlight" tune? Cheng Shi asked cooperatively.
"That's right."
"I see!" Mori Kogoro clapped his hands violently, pinched his chin and frowned, and said, "The music that Mr. Aso played in the flames twelve years ago, and the music that he played before the death of the former village chief two years ago, are all Beethoven's moonlight sonatas, and the three events that have happened so far, all next to that cursed piano." ”
“…… If this continues, there will be people who will continue to suffer. ”
"Doctor Chengshi is bothering you today, Xiaolan, you take Conan back to the hotel first!" Mori Kogoro gave a word of advice, and ran towards the public hall where the crime scene was located.
"Quick, Sister Xiaolan, let's go too!" Conan pulls Ran as she prepares to keep up with Mori Kogoro.
"Then I'll go back and prepare some food first, and then I'll bring it to you." Chengshi waved at Conan and Xiaolan.
"That's... Then bother you. ”
"It's okay~"
