Chapter 31: Uncle's Trust

When you think it's over, it's just beginning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Uncle and Conan don't think that the beginning of Kawashima's killing is the end.

In fact, it was true, and as they expected, there was a follow-up to the killings.

Moreover, the murderer was very blatant, and the police investigated and questioned the people who participated in the ceremony last night on the first floor of the village office, and this murderer actually killed someone on the second floor.

The scene of the crime is the radio room on the second floor of the village office, which is usually used to broadcast some of the latest decisions to the villagers on the island.

But today, in this radio room, the second movement of the Moonlight Sonata was heard.

Yes, moonshine again.

The uncle and others on the first floor heard the music and hurriedly ran up.

But it was too late, and the village head, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, died there, lying on the operating table.

This time it was not drowned, but stabbed to death with a knife, with a knife stuck in his back, and blood stained the console red.

The bodies were found by Conan and Ken Nishimoto.

Ken Nishimoto's questioning was long over, but he didn't leave.

Conan felt a little strange about this, so he followed Ken Nishimoto.

It turned out that such a thing was discovered.

"Call the coroner right away."

The Twilight Police Department stopped Reiko Kuroiwa, who was about to rush in, and gave the order at the same time.

But it's not all good.

"The police department, the coroner has gone to Tokyo because of Mr. Kawashima's autopsy."

There is no way to do this, after all, on Lunaris Island, there are no conditions to complete the dissection, so you can only rush to Tokyo.

It's obviously a bit unrealistic to let people come over now, and even if they do, I don't know how long they'll have to wait.

"The ......"

Asai Narumi on the side raised his hand weakly.

"If I could......"

"Hmm."

Looking at her, the Twilight Police Department frowned slightly and thought for a moment.

It's a bit out of order, and Asai Narumi is also one of the suspects, although the suspicion is not big, but it's still not good to let her come for an autopsy.

It's just that now, there is no other way, after all, they are not professionals, and the general investigation may not be anything, and if it is more detailed, it will not work if it is not a professional.

"Then please."

The Twilight Police Department still made up their minds.

Asai Narumi just nodded, didn't say anything, and immediately went to prepare, and started working later.

The officers of the forensics section also began to take photographs for evidence and so on.

The lights in the broadcast room were also turned on, and the sight became brighter.

The uncle also walked in and watched carefully.

This is the second case on the island, and it is also a homicide, which is also accompanied by the music of moonlight.

Obviously, this is a serial murder case, and the murderer can basically conclude that it is the same person.

And this murderer is among the people present.

Reiko Kuroiwa, Kazuaki Hirata, Monday Murasawa, Masato Shimizu, and Ken Nishimoto.

Or maybe you have to add Asai Narumi, but the uncle subconsciously denied this idea.

But Conan wouldn't, even if Asai Narumi was just as skeptical.

……

"I believe that the deceased was brutally killed a few minutes before the body was found."

Narumi Asai, who had been preliminarily inspected, reported the situation.

The Twilight Police Department also took out the tape from the console, looked at it, and agreed with Asai Narumi's report.

"That's true, there's a blank space of about five minutes and thirty seconds in front of this tape."

This is similar to the tape tape found in the tape recorder found at the scene of Kawashima's murder, the only difference being the music inside.

One is the first movement, and now this one is the second movement.

In addition to tapes, there are other discoveries as well.

After moving the body aside and removing the chair, a sheet music was found on the floor.

Sheet music written in blood.

Uncle and Conan also walked over.

They looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

Now they seem to have a tacit understanding with each other.

A tacit understanding that you investigate yours, I investigate mine, and no one interferes with anyone.

This makes Conan feel a little strange, after all, he is just a child now, and it is a bit unreasonable for the uncle to ignore him?

But now, he didn't bother to think too much about it.

In comparison, it is clear that the case is more important, and everything else is a small matter.

Squatting next to the score written in blood, the uncle also looked at it carefully.

Obviously, this is not the death message left by the deceased, but the murderer deliberately left here.

After all, if the deceased had time to do such a complicated thing, it would be better to just crawl out and ask for help.

Or just write the name or something, but it is clear that when the deceased was attacked, he died very quickly, so fast that there was no way to leave any information.

Most likely a one-hit kill.

And those who can do this, it is obvious that ordinary girls can't do it at all.

In other words, the murderer is one of the few men who remained?

Uncle frowned.

If that's the case, Ken Nishimoto, Kazuaki Hirata are the most suspicious, and then Murasawa Monday and Shimizu Masato.

After all, Ken Nishimoto and Kazuaki Hirata's behavior are a bit strange.

Ken Nishimoto was more scared than strange.

But Kazuaki Hirata is really weird.

It's been saying what the cursed piano or something, and it's he saying it there from beginning to end, and basically haven't seen anyone else say the title.

So what is the purpose of this all the time? And when Uncle Xiaolan and Conan first touched that piano, why was Hirata Kazuaki so excited? And they were kicked out.

Why?

I can't figure it out, it's a little hard to figure it out.

The uncle rubbed his eyes, he didn't sleep well last night, and he felt a little tired after another busy day today.

Stood up, pulled out a cigarette, lit one and smoked it.

At this time, a cigarette is needed to help calm down.

Looking at the music score on the ground, the uncle was thinking calmly.

Conan also took out a small notepad to write down the score, also thinking.

I have to say that sometimes these two people are really alike.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, the uncle noticed something strange.

Squatting down again, his fingers touching the blood stains used to sketch the score.

I raised my hand and looked at it, but there was no blood on it.

That is, the blood on the ground has dried up.

"What's going on?"

The uncle frowned, this is indeed a bit strange.

If anything, Asai Narumi clearly said just now that Tatsuji Kuroiwa was killed a few minutes before the body was found.

It took a few minutes to get the blood on the ground dry.

"Do you mean ......?"

The uncle looked at Asai Narumi on the side.

Could it be that this girl is lying? But what good is it for her to lie?

He frowned and thought about it.

But soon, the thought was thrown aside.

Perhaps, it was just a mistake by Narumi Asai, after all, she is just a doctor, not a professional forensic doctor.

Besides, Kawashima drowned, which means that he was drowned by someone who had his head pressed into the sea, and then dragged the body back to the piano room of the public hall.

A weak woman, although it is not impossible to do such a thing, but it is really difficult to do, and there is not much possibility.

Well, anyway, the uncle just thinks it can't be Asai Narumi.

But his mood inevitably became solemn.

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

Even if there is only a 1 percent, or even 1 in 10,000 chance, it may become a reality.

Sure enough, it's time to try to find out the truth.

Not only to find out the murderer, but also to prove the innocence of Narumi Asai.

The uncle believes that she is innocent.

Smile so gently, so sunny, be kind to people, talk so well, no matter who you talk to, you can talk quickly.

Yes, she is such a lively and cheerful girl with a good heart.

The uncle didn't believe that such a girl would do something murderous.

And it was the killing of two people in a row.

Of course, when the uncle firmly believes that Asai Narumi is not from this island, he has only been working on this island for two or three years, and his personality is so good, obviously he will not conflict with anyone.

There was no motive to kill, so the uncle believed that she was innocent.

But is that really the case?
