Chapter 87: A Spell and a String
The community center on Moonshadow Island is a popular public facility, and the doors of the rooms are open to make it easy for residents to enter at any time without scruples, telling everyone that "no one is here, you can enter".
And in those closed doors, they are all being used, and there is always some movement.
But the door at the end of the corridor is neither moving, but it has been closed, and it is a bit abnormal to put it in the heart of community activities.
Conan had the heart to go in and take a look, but he was worried that Xiaolan would stop him, and when he was planning a route to avoid Xiaolan's sight, the person next to him suddenly got up, stuffed an inconspicuous small notebook into his pocket, and walked towards the door.
Then in the puzzled eyes of the three people behind him, Bai Shu held the doorknob and pushed it, and walked in unceremoniously.
“…… Brother Naoki! Isn't that good? Xiaolan didn't pay attention to the movement inside the door, thinking that Bai Shu had trespassed into the room that someone else was using.
"It's okay, there's no one in there." , Bai Shu pretended to look around.
The room was very large and empty, with only a piano in the middle.
There are windows on three sides of the room, and on the wall directly opposite the door, there is also a back door.
Open the back door and go down the stairs two or three meters to the sea. This room is very close to the sea.
Bai Shu didn't open the back door, he had a very clear goal, and went straight to the piano in the middle.
It was a black grand piano, it looked old, it was covered in a layer of dust, it looked like an antique that had not been properly treated, and I don't know why it was left in this room.
The room was really empty, Xiaolan glanced out the window after entering the door, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the piano.
She sighed, walked in and touched the lid of the piano, and when she withdrew her hand, the dust on her fingertips and the thick fingerprints covered it.
Xiaolan took out her handkerchief and wiped her fingers, and went to wipe the piano distressedly, "It's so dirty, such a good piano, why don't you wipe it well." ”
When Xiaolan sighed, Bai Shu had already looked up and down the piano, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
But the little book doesn't lie...... Shiraki stared at Qin for a while, then reached out and opened the huge top cover.
This action raised a mess of dust, and at the same time, under the lid of the top plate, a cowering soul raised its head blankly, staring at the white tree.
A few seconds later, he noticed the identity of the white tree, and suddenly jumped up excitedly.
Obviously he looked like a little old man with a beard, but at this moment, like a frightened bear child seeing his parents, he tried to throw himself into his arms, "My lord! There are three geists here, they are particularly fierce, take them away! ”
"......", Bai Shu quickly raised his hand to block his face, Kankan intercepted him, and his soul snapped into his hand, but he didn't dislike this treatment, and immediately grabbed his arm like an octopus, with a posture of refusing to let go.
…… It's miserable, what the hell has it been through before.
Bai Shu shook it, but didn't shake it off, just hung with him, thinking about the benefits, at least he didn't let him pounce on his face just now.
His action was a little abrupt, Conan and Xiaolan both looked at him suspiciously, Bai Shu clenched his fist and fanned it in front of him, and coughed twice very realistically, "The ash is too big, it's a little choking." ”
"It's a little." , Xiaolan didn't pay much attention to it, but when Bai Shu mentioned it, he found that there was indeed a lot of dust, how long has this piano been placed, it's so pitiful......
Just as he was about to continue wiping, a loud shout suddenly came from the door, "Don't touch that piano!" ”
The person who came shouted too loudly and hoarsely, Xiao Lan Jiling retracted his hand suddenly, and reflexively apologized, "I'm sorry!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." Kazuaki Hirata pushed his glasses and walked in through the door, examining them nervously.
He didn't see anything unusual in the looks of several people, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to a tone of "I'm doing this for your good", and said heavily, "Actually, this is the piano that Mr. Aso played on the night of his suicide, and it is a cursed hoodoo." ”
"Mr. Aso?" , Maori Kogoro scratched the back of his head, he had completely forgotten about this person, Conan sweated, and reminded him in a low voice, "It's the pianist who killed a family and then set fire to his own house before." ”
"Oh, he." , Maori Kogoro nodded suddenly, but after only a second, his attitude immediately changed, and he snorted and knocked Conan on the head, "What are children doing with these things, not doing business!" ”
"......", Conan died unjustly, and glared at Maori Kogoro secretly, you are definitely annoyed and angry because you were reminded by the child, Waste wood father-in-law!
Hirata Kazuaki saw that the terrifying atmosphere he had created was gradually dissipating, and he suddenly couldn't be silent anymore, and hurriedly continued what he had just said, "No, it's not just Mr. Aso, in fact, our former village chief also died from this piano. ”
"Huh?" , this new material, finally attracted the attention of a few outsiders.
Akikazu Hirata breathed a sigh of relief and was able to continue:
"Two years ago, late at night, when I was passing by the activity center after working overtime, I heard the sound of the piano coming from inside, and I thought someone had slipped in - it was closed to the public at night - so I asked who was playing, but as soon as I spoke, the piano suddenly stopped......."
It's just this passage, it's not very scary, but Hirata Kazuaki swallowed his saliva as he spoke, obviously the memories behind are not very good.
"I was curious for a moment, and when I walked in to check, I saw the village chief of Kameyama lying on the piano with his eyes staring, and he was already out of breath...... It was then that I suddenly remembered that the previous sound of the piano was the "Moonlight Sonata" that Mr. Aso had repeatedly played when he was burned to death! ”
"Wow!" , Xiaolan was already scared to Maori Kogoro, but Conan's focus was completely wrong, he asked suspiciously, "How did Mr. Kameyama die, didn't the police file a case?" ”
"No, the cause of death was a heart attack...... But Kameyama Village Chief has always been in good health, so he is said to be cursed. In fact, Kameyama Village Chief has always had a heart attack, but for some reason, Hirata Akiwa concealed this, and tried his best to make things weird, wishing they would never come near this piano again in their lives.
As a result, in the next second, the chaotic sound of "duangduang" resounded throughout the room - Conan was standing on the piano bench, hehe in his heart, looked at Xiaolan with a super innocent face, and smiled innocently, "This piano is nothing special!" ”
"Conan, don't mess around." , Xiaolan sighed and slipped him away.
was disturbed by this unusually ugly piano noise, and the terrifying atmosphere collapsed like an avalanche in an instant, which shows how important BGM is to the atmosphere.
fell short, Hirata Kazuaki was almost angry with this bear child, and he didn't make a fool of himself, so he showed the identity of the person in charge with a cold face, and forcefully invited them out.
