Chapter Twenty-Four: Moonlight, Moonlight! (f)
"So, there must be a murderer on the fourth piece of music?" Mori Kogoro looked solemnly at the sheet music in his hand. "That means the killer may come back here." This was a sudden sound of the door opening, and everyone looked at the door vigilantly, only Asaka was still calmly looking out the window.
There was a squeak, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the people walking in. "I asked the hotel and they said you were still here, so I came to bring you something to eat." Narumi Asai walked in and said.
"Sister!" Asa Yu turned around and looked happily at the woman walking towards the door.
"Kaede." With a gentle smile on his face, "Hungry, I brought you delicious rice balls!" β
"What do you mean..... It's like ...... "Conan." Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro touched their stomachs at the same time, which had already made a protest sound.
In a few moments, a delicious supper was presented to everyone. Conan and Asaba are holding a large rice ball.
"It's delicious!" Conan looked at Chengshi and said with a satisfied expression.
"Sister, did you do it yourself?" Asa Yu asked, biting into the rice ball.
"yes." Chengshi smiled, "I'm usually alone, so I always have to learn a little bit of life skills." β
"So, Doctor Chengshi, you're not from the island, are you?" Xiaolan asked, biting on the sushi.
"Hmm." Narumi nodded, "I usually go to Tokyo on weekends. So, I can go to ...... every week," she said in the middle of her life.
"Huh?" Xiaolan looked at her questioningly.
"Ah, nothing." Chengshi smiled and didn't say anything. But the fleeting sadness in her eyes did not escape Asa Yu's eyes.
Still have that kind of thought? I wanted to say I could go and see me, but I stopped, do you still have that will in your heart? Asa Yu silently thought, no, this time, I will definitely not let you die.
Sister!
"Dr. Narumi," Mori Kogoro asked, "Is it true that the Kameyama village chief who died two years ago died of a heart attack?" β
"Yes," Chengshi nodded, "The previous village chief's heart has always been bad, but when he died, his face was quite tense, as if he had seen something terrible. β
"Then, when the village chief died, was there anything strange that happened?" Conan asked.
"Well," Cheng Shi's face showed a thoughtful expression, "That's right! "I think there's a window that's open," she remembered, "I think there's a window open." β
"Well," said the old policeman, sipping oolong tea, "maybe someone forgot to close it?" β
"Is this the window?" Kogoro said, pointing to a window.
"Well," Sung Sil stood up, walked to the window in front of the piano, pointed to it, and said, "This is it." β
"Who!" Maori Kogoro suddenly roared. Cheng Shi was startled, only to see a dark shadow flash in front of her window.
And people! Asa Yu was also taken aback, wasn't it just now......
Conan and Kogoro jumped out of the window, and Asaba also ran to the window, whispered a word to the stunned Chengshi, and jumped out of the window after him.
Chengshi walked to the window and looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, completely stunned. Because, the child, said a word to her.
"I'll always protect you. Don't be afraid, sister. β
"Always protect me......" Chengshi muttered to himself.
"Damn, I can't see it." When Asa Yu arrived here, he only saw Conan scolding in a low voice.
"Sure enough, I was right." Kogoro said solemnly, "The prisoner really came back to get the score!" β
"Well, then, we'll take turns keeping vigil tonight."
"Good!"
The next day at noon.
"Maori, Maori!" A familiar voice woke Mori Kogoro from his sleep, and when he saw the familiar face and round figure, his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
"Officer Twilight!" Mori Kogoro looked at him in surprise, "Why are you here?" β
"Please, it's noon now." Officer Twilight looked at him speechlessly, "This place still belongs to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government!" He said as he looked at the police officers around him who were checking the scene.
"Ahh Mori Kogoro immediately touched into his arms.
"......" Officer Twilight showed his half-moon eyes, "The score was given to me by Conan." Looking back at the three people who were sleeping, "When I came, all four of them were awake, and only you and this old man were sleeping." He gestured to the old policeman who was sleeping.
"Huh? Strange, where did that little imp go to Asahata? Maori said, looking at the bed in the light of the empty feather.
"That kid!" Officer Twilight said, "He saw me coming early in the morning, told me about the situation, and then went out. Let's be honest. , this child's ability to retell is really amazing! can tell the location of the corpse at the time of death. Then he said, "We're going to check the whole village, and you can help!" β
"Yes......" said Kogoro Maori, who was still sleepy-eyed.
The sun is in the west.
"Ah......" Conan, who slept for a day, Yawned at the same time as Chengshi.
"This place is really not suitable for sleeping......" Conan looked sleepy. Anyway, that Charlotte guy disappeared for a day, and I don't know where he went. Conan thought.
At this time, Maori Kogoro walked over, "Dad, is the interrogation over?" Xiaolan hurriedly asked.
"Don't be stupid, there are 38 people in total. How can it end so easily. Maori Kogoro also looked helpless.
"So," asked Narumi Asai, who was sleepy and hadn't opened his eyes yet, "how many am I?" β
"You're tired, but I'm sorry," Kogoro said apologetically, "it's the last one." β
β...... All right! Chengshi was also extremely helpless, "Then before you start, let me wash my face." With that, he got up and left.
"So, Dad," Xiaolan asked, "who was Dr. Chengshi before?" β
"The people who have not yet been interrogated are the village chief's daughter, Reiko Kuroiwa, her fiancΓ© Murasawa Monday, village chief candidate Masato Shimizu, and the village chief's secretary Kazuaki Hirata." Mori Kogoro replied. "It's Ken Nishimoto who is currently going on. But this guy is quite time-consuming, and he is silent when asked anything. I think he was the prisoner. β
Outside the interrogation room.
Chengshi had just walked to the second floor when a soft voice came from behind her, and she turned around and saw a pair of amber golden eyes.
"Sister, where are you going?"
......
"What a joke! I can't have a motive to kill Mr. Kawashima at all! Xiaolan and Chengshi listened helplessly to Miss Heiyan's shouting, Xiaolan looked helpless, but Chengshi had a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"It's really amazing......" Xiaolan couldn't help but say, "Miss Kuroiwa has been yelling for more than ten minutes!" β
At this moment, Conan noticed another thing.
"It's strange, the interrogation is obviously over, why hasn't this Mr. Nishimoto left?" Conan saw that he was leaving, and immediately slipped out of his chair and followed.
As soon as he went out, Conan felt a hand tap on his shoulder, startling him, and Conan turned his head sharply, and a familiar and delicate face appeared in front of his eyes. "Asa Feather!" Conan exclaimed in surprise, "How ...... you?"
"Shh Asa Feather held up a finger, "Same as your purpose." He patted Conan on the shoulder.
