Chapter Twenty-Six: Moonlight, Moonlight! (viii)

"Now, Uncle Policeman." Conan asked, "Did Mr. Aso really set fire to his own family?" ”

"Probably so." The old man thought for a while, "Because there are four people who saw it in one phase." The former village head, Mr. Kameyama, the head of Kuroiwa, Mr. Nishimoto, and Mr. Kawashima. ”

"Then," Conan's heart moved, "what is the relationship between these four people?" ”

"Including Mr. Aso, the five of them are friends who grew up together."

Friends who grew up together? Conan felt as if he had found a clue to the truth, but he couldn't see it clearly. "So, what about the big brother named Murasawa?" Conan asked in a different person.

"That guy came to this island three years ago," the old policeman thought for a moment, "and it was said that he was finally engaged to Miss Kuroiwa a few days ago, but the village chief has always been against it. ”

"So, what about the secretary named Hirata?" Conan asked.

"He," said the old policeman, with a look of indifference, "he is just a timid and cowardly man, and he probably would not do such a vicious thing." However, I often see him and Mr. Kawashima sneaking around at the public hall and don't know what to do. ”

"Where's Mr. Shimizu?"

"He's a man with a strong sense of justice, and he's very much loved by the fishermen." The old policeman looked down at Conan, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" Little detective? ”

"Ah......h

"What kind of boy are you like," said the old policeman, "and he came to me early this morning to ask me questions like these!" ”

"What? Charlotte? Conan was shocked. He also ......

"Huh? I remember that the kid wasn't called Asaba? The old policeman looked at Conan strangely.

"Ah, yes, Charlotte is his teacher's name." Conan said quickly.

An hour later.

"Strange, it should be right here!" The old policeman rummaged through the rooms looking for the key.

"Please," Conan lowered his eyelids, "I've been looking for an hour!" ”

"Ahh Found it, this is it! The old man finally found his key from under a pile of papers.

At this time, Xiaolan ran in from outside, "Sister Lan? Conan looked at her in surprise.

"You're too slow," Xiaolan ran out of breath, "everyone is impatient to wait, and they have already gone back." ”

"What!" Like a bolt from the blue, Conan's whole body froze, "You mean, all the suspects went back?" ”

"That's right," Lan wondered about Conan's reaction, "the last thing the prisoner left was 'The grudge of sin is removed here,' indicating that it is over, so there will be no more killings." ”

How could it be! Conan gritted his teeth, so far, the crime scene has played the first and second movements of Moonlight, but the song of Moonlight ......

"There's still a third movement!" The dark public hall, accompanied by the low sound of the piano, a voice whispered.

"You, who the hell are you!" In the warehouse, a figure was screaming in despair, it was a man, the whole person was standing on a chair, his legs were tied, "Why are you locking me here!" Are you Keiji Aso? Are you! Isn't it! ”

"Guess what," the voice said with a thick teasing, "three of the four have already gone, and your hands are already covered with blood, do you think you have escaped for a while, for a lifetime?" They're still waiting for you! The icy killing intent permeated the entire Citizen Hall, and even in summer, there was a faint feeling of coldness in the air.

"I know! I know it all! The figure in the warehouse completely collapsed, "We did it!" It's our ...... But I ......."

"Needless to say, go to hell and explain it to your good brother." The voice snorted coldly, "Choose your own way of dying, otherwise, it won't be as simple as dying." ”

The man in the warehouse picked up the rope with trembling hands and put it in front of him, but he couldn't put it on, "Tell me, are you Aso...... Isn't Aso! After shouting the last sentence with all his might, he seemed to be paralyzed, and the noose hung right around his neck, so frightened that he hurriedly tried to untie it, but his hand kept shaking.

"Listen to this and you'll know what it is." The voice no longer speaks, but is replaced by a smooth and soothing sonata, the sound is very beautiful, as if there is a sense of silence in the moonlight shining quietly on people.

The figure in the warehouse was like a smell, his legs were weak, the chair fell over at once, and he was hanging on the rope, struggling violently, but the strong feeling of suffocation made his movements smaller and smaller, and finally stopped. The moonlight shone on his pale face, revealing a face that had crumbled after enduring infinite fear and spiritual condemnation.

"Moon...... Light...... Ma ......" The man spat out the last few notes, and then he ran out of breath.

The warehouse fell silent.

The sound of the piano stopped, and a figure walked out, walked straight to the warehouse, opened the door, looked at the man who was no longer breathing, and sighed.

"Childhood friendship is too insignificant in the face of interests."

He untied the rope that bound the man's legs, threw it into the pile of debris on the side, threw down a wad of papers, walked back to the piano room, looked at the man with sunglasses who had fallen to the ground, and shook his head.

"It's a good person, it seems that I thought wrong, and I'm sorry to make a mistake." With that, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

......

"Hurry up!" In front of the warehouse, Conan is urging the old policeman to open the door of the warehouse quickly.

"Conan's curiosity is really strong." Xiaolan smiled helplessly.

"By the way, where did Asa Yu go?" Conan asked as if he remembered something.

"Huh?" Xiao Lan looked surprised, "Isn't Xiao Feng with you?" ”

"What? How could he be with me? Conan couldn't help but raise his voice. I haven't seen him again except in the evening! ”

"How so? He told me he was by your side, huh? Xiaolan was also anxious.

"Forget it, I don't have time to care about that guy for a while...... What the! "Conan hears a sound in the piano room next door!

Conan ran over quickly, "Stop! He shouted at a dark shadow, and when the dark shadow saw someone coming, he leaped and broke the window and fled. Conan was about to chase after him, but suddenly tripped over something, and when he looked up, he saw a man with sunglasses lying on the ground moaning.

"Mr. Murasawa!" Conan was taken aback, and was about to go up to check, but heard Xiaolan's piercing scream coming from the warehouse!

"Ran!" When Conan heard Xiaolan's voice, he immediately became anxious and immediately ran to the warehouse. When he arrived, he saw such a terrible scene;

The man hung from the beams of the room, his eyes wide open, his face full of fear and horror, as if he had really seen the scene of demons and hell, and a few musical scores were scattered under his feet.

"Mr. Nishimoto!"
