"Who is it?"

Uncle and Conan, who were looking at a window, shouted at the same time, as they noticed that there seemed to be someone outside the window. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As for why they are looking at this window, it is because of what Asai Narumi said before.

Uncle and Conan asked about strange things, but what made Asai Narumi feel strange was that it seemed that at that time, there was a window that was open.

You have to know that time, but at night.

When I left at night, the doors and windows of the public hall were locked.

So a window that has been opened will still feel a little strange.

But at that time, the final conclusion was that someone forgot to close the door.

Perhaps at the time, this question was really just someone who was negligent and forgot to close it.

But now, when Uncle and Conan subconsciously looked over, they found that there seemed to be someone outside.

Without thinking much about it, he shouted, and quickly rushed over, jumped out of the window and chased out.

But they couldn't catch up with each other.

I don't know if this person is male or female, tall or short, fat or thin.

But at this time, eavesdropping outside, no matter who it is, must have something to do with it.

Maybe it will be the murderer?

I can't be sure of that.

When I returned to the public hall, the uncle looked at the time and found that it was already late, so he asked everyone to rest.

It's just that tonight is going to take turns keeping vigils, so that no one can sneak in and take the sheet music away.

According to Uncle and Conan's calculations, the score is estimated to be hiding some secrets.

And the key is the part that has been modified later.

……

Nothing was said all night.

No murderers came, and nothing else happened.

When the uncle woke up in a daze, he saw the familiar face of the Twilight Police Department.

"Huh? Twilight Police Department, how did you end up here? ”

"This belongs to Tokyo, Brother Maori."

The Twilight Police Department explained.

This place is under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and if something happens, it is natural that the police in Tokyo come over.

And Officer Twilight is also responsible for this kind of case.

The uncle didn't think much of it, and the score was handed over to the Twilight Police Department.

I washed my face, and then briefed the Twilight Police Department, and sorted out my thoughts by the way.

First of all, I came here because of the letter I received before.

Then, that night, while the ritual was being carried out, a case occurred in which Kawashima, one of the candidates for village head, was killed here.

According to the uncle's on-site investigation, it was concluded that the suspect was among those who participated in the ceremony that night.

In addition, this matter is related to the incident of Keiji Aso ten years ago, but it is not clear what kind of connection it has at this time.

In view of this, the Twilight Police Department decided to go to the village office and question the people who participated in the ceremony at that time.

So he woke up Xiaolan and the others, who were still resting, and moved to the village office.

……

The work of inquiry, however, does not need to be in charge of the uncle, nor does it need to help.

So Uncle Zhishui stood there against the wall, smoking a cigarette and thinking.

Mainly thinking about the sheet music, he has a gut feeling.

His instinct told him that if he figured out the information contained in the score, he would be able to solve half the problem.

Of course, even the suspect has not been able to be locked down yet, and it is useless to consider the rest, so you can only think about how the other party hid information in the score.

Xiaolan, Conan, and Asai Narumi were all sitting listlessly in their chairs.

I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't sleep well in that kind of place.

"Dad, how is the situation now, do you know who the prisoner is?"

Xiaolan looked at the uncle who was standing aside smoking and asked.

She wanted to solve the case quickly now, and then she would catch up on sleep at the hotel.

You must know that lack of sleep is the natural enemy of girls.

Well, this phrase seems to be able to be seen quite often.

But for his question, the uncle can only sigh that this girl is still so naïve.

"Don't be stupid, there are thirty-eight people participating in the ceremony, so it's so easy to figure out who the prisoner is."

At that time, there were indeed 38 people attending the ceremony, and it took a lot of time just to make the notes.

Fortunately, the inquiries are almost done now, and the only ones left are Narumi Asai, Reiko Kuroiwa, Murasawa Monday, Shimizu Masato, and the village chief's secretary Kazuaki Hirata have not been questioned yet.

There is also Ken Nishimoto who is being questioned.

For that man, the uncle felt that it was okay, although he didn't dare to say that he was the murderer, but he must know something that others didn't know.

But even in the face of police questioning, Ken Nishimoto didn't say anything, and it was difficult to do it.

"That, may I ask what order is ......?"

Narumi Asai, who looked at his sleep-deprived expression, pointed at himself.

She wanted to know the order in which she was questioned.

In this regard, the uncle naturally answered immediately.

"You're tired, but rest assured, you're at the end."

"Then I'm going to wash my face before I do that."

Asai Narumi covered his face and made a very cute expression, which made the uncle's eyes almost heart-shaped.

Standing up and walking towards the bathroom, the uncle didn't care, and continued to think about the case.

The same goes for Conan.

Xiaolan was drowsy, sitting on the sofa, looking like she might fall asleep at any time.

"You idiot!"

A roar of rage suddenly came.

interrupted Uncle and Conan's train of thought, and also startled Xiaolan, who was about to fall asleep.

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, I found that it was the current village head, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, who was teaching the secretary Kazuaki Hirata who was waiting for the summons.

"What cursed piano? It's because of that kind of thing that this kind of thing keeps happening. ”

"Yes...... However, the village chief ......"

"Dispose of it right away, do you know, Hirata?"

"Ah, yes!"

Kazuaki Hirata, who was taken aback by Kuroiwa Tatsuji's serious tone, hurriedly nodded yes.

Then Kuroiwa Tatsuji turned around and left a little angrily.

The uncle still stood there against the wall, took out a cigarette case, put a cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it.

"Hoo ......"

He took a puff and slowly spit it out, and suddenly smoke surrounded him.

Squinting slightly, he looked at Kazuaki Hirata, the secretary of the village chief.

Suddenly, I found that this Hirata Kazuaki seemed to be a little too scared of the piano.

Originally, I was afraid of those ghostly things, but there was nothing, and Xiaolan was also afraid of those.

But even Xiaolan was not scared to this extent because the piano was said to be a cursed piano, nor because there was a dead person next to the piano.

Could it be that this man named Kazuaki Hirata is even more timid than Xiaolan?

It's not impossible, but it's unlikely.

Some people act like the real thing; There are also some people who act, but they act a little too fake.

This is clearly a murder case, and it has to be a cursed piano.

And from the beginning, I haven't heard anyone talk about this title, only this Hirata Kazuaki himself is talking about it.

Thinking back to the first time I touched that piano yesterday, this guy seemed angry and refused to be touched by anyone.

Could it be that there is some secret hidden in that piano?

Uncle thoughtfully.

Conan seemed to be thinking about it, too.

He may have guessed something, after all, his observation skills and the like are also very powerful.

It's a pity that Uncle and Conan are doing it alone and don't share information with each other, otherwise, maybe there will be more discoveries.
