Chapter 86: Hold my biceps tightly
When the employee saw that the helper came, he hurriedly explained the situation, "That's right, this gentleman said that a resident named Keiji Aso wrote a letter and asked him to come ......"
As a result, before he could finish speaking, the security guard jumped up directly, "Keiji Aso?!" ”
"Yes... That's right. The new employees and Maori were stunned together, and the security guard's reaction was too intense, right, what, is this Keiji Aso still a taboo on the island and can't be mentioned?
The security guard also realized that he was overexcited, he reluctantly calmed down and rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, "It's not that I was deliberately startled, but the person you are talking about, he ...... He's been dead for more than ten years! And the death was very miserable! ”
"......", Xiaolan also silently began to rub her arms, and after listening to the beginning, she felt that it was not a good story.
However, this security guard was obviously very outgoing, and his mouth touched up and down, and before Xiaolan could figure out whether to cover his ears, he spoke with lightning speed.
"Mr. Aso is a famous pianist who went out on our island, 12 years ago, he attended a concert held by the village activity center, and when he returned home, he killed his wife and daughter for some reason, and then locked the door behind him, and burned down the whole house with a fire!"
"Is it so wicked?" , The new employees next to him also joined the ranks of the army of rubbing their arms, and the white trees that looked at it were a little itchy.
The security guard nodded, and swallowed his saliva, obviously he was afraid himself, but it was the gossip that prevailed, and he said it firmly:
According to several eyewitnesses who were fighting the fire at the time, Keiji Aso had been playing Beethoven's moonlight sonata repeatedly and laughing maniacally in the midst of the raging fire! It's scary! ”
"Uh-huh......", Mori Kogoro nodded reluctantly, a little listless, apparently he had no interest in the dead man twelve years ago.
After listening to this history as a story, Kogoro Mori thanked the staff and security guards, walked out of the office with a few people, and then ...... Then he didn't know where to go again.
"It's a letter from a dead man, tricking me." , Maori Kogoro pinched the letter and wandered aimlessly, feeling very unhappy.
"But 500,000, the cost of this trick is too high." , Shiraki also made a thinking appearance, looking for something to do for Maori Kogoro, anyway, he couldn't let him go back now, he analyzed, "Using Keiji Aso's pseudonym to entrust, maybe the purpose is to let us investigate Keiji Aso's affairs, such as...... That strange cause of death? ”
"yes, it's really weird, killing my wife and daughter...... If it's true, this man is mad. Mori Kogoro has a very bad impression of this Keiji Aso.
Xiaolan was seriously thinking about what Bai Shu said, "Let's go to the village chief and ask, if that incident has such a big impact, he should also pay attention to it, what the village chief said is more credible." ”
Obviously, she also felt that the description of the security guard was a bit exaggerated, and it was too fantasy to be burned in the fire and play the piano or something...... It should be that the witnesses were too nervous and saw it wrong.
Conan didn't have a clue at the moment, as soon as he heard this, he could be regarded as having found something to do, and began to support Xiaolan, and gave dry goods, "I heard someone say just now that the village chief is in the community center. ”
"Okay, let's go and ask!" , Xiaolan waved her hand full of fighting spirit, turned around and took a step, and froze in place.
Under the puzzled gaze of the other three, she turned her head a little embarrassed and asked in a low voice, "Dad, where is the community center?" ”
“…… How do I know! Just now I only remembered the location of the office, who knew that I couldn't find anyone. Maori Kogoro snorted, thinking that his daughter had awakened some strange ability to memorize shorthand maps, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.
No one knows, so you can only ask for directions.
Bai Shu turned his head and looked around, and found that several people happened to pass by a hospital, and at the entrance of the hospital, a little girl with a ponytail, a high-necked shirt and a short skirt, and a white coat - emm can be regarded as a little girl - was standing at the entrance of the hospital, gently bent down, and touched a child's head, "Kenta must take medicine obediently, and the cold will get better quickly." ”
"Hmm!" , The little boy was very obedient, and left with the medicine, not forgetting to wave goodbye to her, "Goodbye, Sister Chengshi!" ”
"Goodbye!"
Asai Narumi finished greeting with a smile, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that there was a person standing silently behind him, a fresh face.
Asai subconsciously wanted to step back, but soon, she saw three other people on the side of the road looking at her: a girl, a little boy, and ...... Mori Kogoro.
Bai Shu patiently waited for her to finish looking around before speaking, "May I ask how to get to the community center." ”
"Turn right in front and you'll be ...... at the end," Asai Narumi raised his hand and pointed in one direction, and asked curiously, "Are you from out of town?" ”
Maori Kogoro and the others saw that Shiraki had successfully talked, and they immediately came over, and Xiaolan heard Asai Narumi's question and nodded, "Well, we are from Tokyo." ”
"Wow!" , Asai Narumi's eyes widened, and he chatted very familiarly, "What a coincidence, I'm also from Tokyo!" But in recent years I've been spending more time on the island because the air is great and the environment is quiet, unlike the big cities, which have a lot of noise ......."
Before she could finish speaking, an election car with a loud horn passed by in a high-profile manner, and the squeaky advertising slogan made people's eardrums hurt: "In order to protect the rights and interests of the fishing grounds and the islanders, please support the people's spokesperson, Shimizu Masato!" I beg for a vote! ”
"......", the election car hid its merits and fame, and gradually drifted away, leaving the five people behind the embarrassing opposite.
Asai Narumi quickly adjusted, she cleared her throat and gave herself a round with a slightly red face, "The village chief election is about to be held, so it's been a little noisy lately." In addition to Masato Shimizu, the candidates are the current village head, Kuroiwa, and the rich man Kawashima, so I think Kawashima is more likely to be elected......"
Mori Kogoro didn't really want to know about the election of the village head, and I don't know if it was because he was cheated by someone and was in a bad mood, or because of some mysterious intuition that was difficult to speak...... In short, he couldn't even raise his interest in talking to the beautiful doctor in front of him.
After a brief chat, the group headed towards the community center.
……
The community center is built by the sea, and to be honest, the environment is very good, but unfortunately there is a group of people around the door, shouting slogans such as "Down with the atrocities of the current village chief", which is really a bit of a bad scenery.
Bai Shu and the others struggled to squeeze through the crowd blocking the door, and felt into the center of the event, but the village chief was discussing things with his cronies in the conference hall, and they could only sit on the benches in the corridor and wait.
Conan always felt that this commission was not so simple, and after sitting on the bench for almost half an hour, he finally couldn't help but get up and began to wander around. Finally, his gaze fell on the door at the end of the hallway.
