Chapter 32: It's Not Over
"After being killed, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is played, and judging from other methods, I think that the murderers of Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Kuroiwa are the same person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the hall of the village office, the Twilight Police Department expressed its speculation.
As a police officer, it's not like the Twilight Police Department has no reasoning skills at all.
Judging from the blank time of the tape, the time when Kuroiwa Tatsuji was killed was a few minutes before the body was found.
During that time, everyone who remained in the village office was suspicious.
In addition to the uncle and his party who had no motive to kill for the first time and the police, the rest were Ken Nishimoto, Reiko Kuroiwa, Monday Murasawa, Masato Shimizu, Kazuaki Hirata, and Narumi Asai.
Among them, Reiko Kuroiwa has been being interrogated by the police during the time period speculated to have occurred, so the alibi is established.
And Asai Narumi's alibi was identified by Xiaolan and Conan, so it was also established.
This means that the suspects are just a few men, none of whom have a clear alibi, and no one knows what they are doing at the speculated time period.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it.
The uncle stood there against the wall, observing the several men present who were attacking each other through words.
Smoke enveloped him, making it a little difficult to see his expression.
At this time, the uncle's mood was a little irritable, a little melancholy, and a little dignified.
It's possible that Asai Narumi lied.
This question has been haunting my mind and refuses to go away.
Although it is possible that Asai Narumi was just nervous or some other reason, he misjudged the time of death.
But this is only a possibility, and it is not entirely certain.
So lying, it's also a possibility.
Fortunately, those who can do this can basically be concluded to be men.
Although there is a bit of an ominous premonition, the uncle still believes in Asai Narumi's innocence.
But more importantly, it is the score that remained at the scene of the crime.
"Understand? You'll be next. ”
Conan's little boy's voice came out, interrupting several of the suspects in the argument while drawing everyone's attention.
Except for the uncle.
Almost in no particular order, the uncle also answered the information left in the score through continuous reasoning in his mind.
Perhaps, in Mori Kogoro, in addition to inheriting memory, he also inherited extremely strong reasoning ability.
As for why Mori Kogoro has such a strong reasoning ability, and why he hides such reasoning ability and disguises himself as a third-rate detective, there is no way to know.
But that doesn't matter.
"Conan, how did you know?"
Xiaolan was puzzled.
She had always wondered about Conan's child, even though it was the child of Dr. Asasa's relatives or something.
But this little kid seems to be a little too strong in reasoning.
Moreover, some small actions when thinking are too similar to a certain high school detective.
No, it shouldn't be said like, but almost exactly the same.
It's just that it's true or false, so that although she has doubts, she doesn't have much doubt.
"If you know the trick to this code, it's easy."
Conan smiled and pretended to be cute.
He always uses this trick to make some reasoning.
The so-called trick is actually to start from the left side of the piano keyboard, in order, on the black and white keys, put the English letters in order, and convey the information through the form of romanization.
So the sheet music I got at the scene of Kawashima's death, the information on it is: Understand? You'll be next.
As for what to understand, only the murderer and certain people will know.
For example, Kuroiwa Tatsuji.
And according to this trick, interpret the information on the sheet music found at the scene of Kuroiwa Chenji's death, that is......
"The resentment of this sin, be removed here."
Conan uttered this piece of information word by word.
This trick does make sense, as complete information can be formed.
Moreover, when they heard this, Reiko Kuroiwa, Kazuaki Hirata and others immediately thought of the pianist who committed suicide by arson ten years ago, Keiji Aso.
That's when everything started.
After ten years, someone will have to pay the price.
From this, it is also certain that the murderer must be someone who has an unusual relationship with Keiji Aso.
It's just that it's impossible to know for sure who it is.
"It's that guy, Keiji Aso, he's still alive!"
Ken Nishimoto seemed to be very frightened, and his voice had changed, as if his voice had broken.
Seeing this, the uncle only narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy must know some insider information that others don't know.
"He's really dead."
The old policeman on the island pushed open the door and walked in.
Maybe I just heard Ken Nishimoto's words, so I couldn't help but open my mouth to refute.
Of course, his rebuttal is also well-founded.
The reason why Keiji Aso is so sure that he is dead is because the bones found at the scene of the fire at that time have been compared with the tooth shape, and it is indeed Keiji Aso and his wife and daughter.
"Everything was burned down at the time, and only the sheet music that was left in the fireproof safe was fine."
The old policeman seemed to have some reminiscence, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
When people get old, the number of sighs becomes hidden.
Merely......
"Sheet music?"
Uncle, Conan, and the Twilight Police Department have a keen grasp of this key point.
As for emotion, that's not what should be done now.
"Where's that sheet music now?"
The Twilight Police Department hurriedly asked.
That excited look almost scared the old policeman.
"It's in the warehouse of the public hall, but the key to the warehouse is at the police station."
"Then why don't you hurry up and get it!"
The Twilight Police Department was really excited this time, and they just yelled.
It's really this old policeman, who doesn't know how to do things, and he knows that there is such a thing left, but he doesn't say it sooner.
Well, maybe it's because I'm getting older and my memory has deteriorated.
Either way, this score may be the key to solving this serial murder case.
The old policeman quickly ran out, and Conan went out with him.
The uncle didn't go with him, he just had to wait for the old policeman and Conan to bring it.
……
Time always passes quietly and inadvertently.
At this time, it was already night, and everyone was busy all day.
The Twilight Police Department also put a few suspects back, after all, everything that should be asked, but there is no evidence to prove who is the murderer.
The uncle didn't say anything about this, just smoking a cigarette on the side.
I've been smoking for a day today, and I'm estimated to have smoked more than the previous ten days combined.
After all, the uncle only smokes frequently when he is investigating the case, and under normal circumstances, he doesn't smoke much.
Maybe it's not because of a smoking addiction, it's just that when investigating the case, I used cigarettes to calm myself down.
Keep reasoning in your head, and overturn your reasoning one by one.
Uncle thought about it like this, unconsciously.
When I took out the cigarette case again and wanted to light a cigarette, I suddenly reacted when I shook there for a long time and didn't get the cigarette.
The cigarettes have been smoked.
"If you don't mind, just smoke this."
A white and weak little hand held a box of cigarettes and handed it to the uncle.
When I looked up, I found that it was Asai Narumi.
It's still that gentle and sunny smile, which makes people feel so comfortable.
Just seeing this smile, the uncle felt that smoking ten cigarettes could keep him in a peaceful state of mind.
"Thank you, Miss Sung Sil."
"You're welcome."
Watching the uncle take the cigarette, Asai Narumi also withdrew his hand.
"I'm going back to the clinic, so I'll go back today."
"Oh, you walk slowly."
The uncle nodded, indicating that he understood.
Asai didn't say anything more, smiled and turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Asai Narumi leaving, the uncle was just silent.
The killings are not over yet.
