Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sheet Music
The deceased, Kawashima, who was one of the candidates for village chief, came to attend the ceremony. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now, though, it will soon be someone else's turn to participate in his rituals.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the uncle, and he doesn't know this person, so there's no need to remember or anything.
It's just that he can't help but sigh a little, life is so fragile, maybe when, it will be his turn.
Shaking his head, he went straight to pick up the tape recorder again.
Then start checking the tapes inside, mainly to see how the recordings are going.
All of this seems to come at your fingertips without thinking, as if you have done it countless times before.
Uncle doesn't know why this is happening, he was just an ordinary person before he crossed over, and it was difficult to even reason about a math problem, let alone these murder cases or something.
And there is a lot of professional knowledge that I haven't learned before, but now I can easily say it.
Maybe it's because he inherited the memory of Kogoro Mori.
Or maybe it's the instinct of a detective.
But in that case, it would be strange.
If Mori Kogoro is really just a third-rate detective, how can such expertise and instinct be inherited? Did you get it when you were a police officer?
But that doesn't make sense.
I couldn't figure it out, and the uncle didn't think much about it in the end.
The most important thing now is the case at hand.
Perhaps because of professional habits, when encountering such a case, the uncle quickly entered the state and began to investigate and reason.
The tape starts to have a blank space for about a few minutes.
Coupled with the situation that we have investigated before, such as the water on the ground and the coat soaked in the sea in the back, we can also roughly deduce the situation at that time.
Uncle, Xiaolan and Conan have been outside the entrance door, and no one has left.
So it can be speculated that the murderer is still here.
The approximate situation is that the murderer left the room where the ritual was performing, passed by the room where the piano was placed, and drowned Kawashima in the back.
Then he dragged Kawashima back, placed it at the piano, activated the tape recorder that had been prepared in advance, and then left the place and returned to the room where the practice was held.
A few minutes later, the recorder started playing the moonlight sonata, attracting everyone's attention.
Needless to say, the rest of the story.
"So it can be concluded that the murderer is among you."
The uncle expressed his speculation.
But this is only a matter of speculation, and there is still a lack of evidence to infer who the culprit really is.
Hearing this, although some people are talking about it.
But the uncle glanced around and found that Kuroiwa Chenji, Shimizu Masato and the others didn't say anything, but their faces seemed to be a little dignified.
At this time, Asai Narumi also completed the autopsy, although it could only be a simple examination.
"According to the examination, the time of death was estimated to be between thirty minutes and an hour ago, and the cause of death was drowning."
Of course, this inference is not 100%, although it is basically not wrong.
But if you want to be sure, it's best to send it for autopsy.
But for now, it doesn't need to be so much trouble for the time being.
"So, during the time period that Miss Chengshi said, who ever left the room where the ceremony was held?"
The uncle looked at everyone present.
If it is known who left the room during this time, then the suspect will be able to roughly lock down.
"All I know is that Kawashima said he was going to go to the toilet and leave the room."
Kuroiwa Tatsuji spoke.
His position is with Kawashima, and if he doesn't know, no one will believe it.
His son-in-law, who was named Murasawa Monday, seemed to pout with some disdain.
"How could that kind of thing be remembered in its entirety."
If it's okay, who cares about which person has left and who has returned?
So it's normal not to know.
The uncle didn't expect anyone to be able to say it clearly, so he simply changed the topic.
"So, if Mr. Kawashima has ever offended anyone, so what?"
"It's not an offense, but the happiest person after Kawashima's death is Shimizu, who is a candidate for village mayor like him."
Kuroiwa Tatsuji said, and glanced at Shimizu Masato over there.
This is pouring dirty water without hesitation.
This made Qing Shui very unhappy.
"What did you say? If you had to say that, you would be the same, wouldn't you? ”
After all, Kuroiwa Tatsuji is also a candidate for village chief, and if he can be elected, he will be re-elected.
But is it really good to splash dirty water on each other like this?
The uncle took out a cigarette and smoked it.
The mutual accusations of those two people also seemed to trigger a scolding war.
The Black Rock family sneered at Qing Shui without hesitation.
In this regard, the uncle just watched quietly.
The scolding war between politicians, which the uncle used to only be able to see on TV, is now being staged vividly in front of his eyes.
Just looked at it, and suddenly there was no interest.
The shrews scolded the street and had a level higher than that.
Over there, Narumi Asai also found a large piece of cloth and covered Kawashima's body.
The uncle walked over to help, and inadvertently touched his hands together, which made the uncle a little fluttery.
Fortunately, he understood what the situation was now, so he quickly regained his composure.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he found something again, and the uncle frowned.
Behind the lid of the piano, a sheet of music was taken out.
Conan also leaned in, also frowning.
They all remembered that when Conan opened the lid and played the piano indiscriminately, there was no score here.
That is, the murderer put it here?
Uncle and Conan subconsciously glanced at each other, and then seemed to retract their gaze with tacit understanding, and neither side said anything.
"Sheet ......"
The uncle took the sheet music and motioned to the people present, just about to ask something.
But a man with messy hair suddenly turned around and ran away with a scream of "ahhhhhhhhhh
This made the uncle inexplicable for a while, just a piano score, is it so scary?
Conan thought it was strange, too, but he ignored it.
Because he knew that the uncle would ask.
In fact, this is indeed the case, if there is something strange, you have to figure it out, the other party is so excited, it is obvious that there is something special about this score.
That man's name is Ken Nishimoto, and it is said that he used to be a rich and powerful person, gambling, playing with women, and having a good life.
Later, that is, after the death of the previous village chief, I don't know why, this Nishimoto Ken became like an otaku, basically not taking him out of the house, and he became very decadent, as if he was afraid of something.
"By the way, the village chief and him seem to be childhood playmates."
The village chief's secretary, who explained to the uncle, suddenly thought of this matter and looked at Kuroiwa Tatsuji.
Such a thing is naturally undeniable, after all, they are all people on this island, and they have grown up together since childhood, and they can't hide it at all.
So Kuroiwa Tatsuji also nodded in confirmation.
The uncle just glanced at him and didn't say anything, but planned to look at the score.
I usually don't pay much attention to it, but now that I look at it, the uncle finds that he can understand it, and he also knows what kind of music this sheet music is.
Moonlight Sonata.
Yes, it's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
It's this moonlight again, and it seems that everything that happened after coming to the island is related to this moonlight.
Moreover, it was a full moon night.
It seems that the death of the former village chief and the death of Kawashima now are likely to have something to do with Keiji Aso ten years ago.
But without waiting for the uncle to think about it, Xiaolan, who went to the police, finally pulled a person in a police uniform and ran back.
The elderly policeman who looks like he is about to retire, and he is the only policeman on the entire island.
It's much easier to have the police here.
For the detective uncle, the old policeman is still more respectful.
It's just that it's too late, and the uncle just asked the policeman to guard the crime scene, and he didn't plan to do anything else.
"All in all, it's late tonight, ask about the work starting tomorrow, remember to come over."
This was instructed to those present, and then everyone left.
The uncle also planned to go back to the hotel, but he couldn't rest all day today, and he felt a little tired.
Narumi Asai is also going back to the clinic, and there happens to be a part of the road that is the same.
So the uncle was a little ape-like.
