Chapter Twenty-Seven: Moonlight, Moonlight! (ix)
"Mr. Policeman! Tell Officer Twilight! Conan looked at the corpse hanging from the beams and said in a deep voice. The old policeman said yes and hurried out the door.
"One-sided thirty-minute tape," Conan pondered, looking at the contents on the warehouse table, "So, Mr. Nishimoto was killed within thirty minutes now?" And," he looked at the corpse's feet. "Sheet ......"
Conan stepped forward, picked up the sheet music at his feet under Xiaolan's worried gaze, and read it slowly.
"Conan," Ran asked, slightly frightened, "what is written on it?" ”
"Suicide note." Conan said lightly.
"Suicide note?!"
......
"According to the suicide note, he killed Kawashima and Kuroiwa, and he regretted it, so he committed suicide." Officer Twilight said.
"Kill Kawashima and Kuroiwa?" Mori Kogoro exclaimed.
"The reason is probably that the five of them have made mistakes before and killed people in order not to be exposed." Officer Twilight continued, "These five people refer to Mr. Kameyama, who died two years ago, Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Kuroiwa, who were killed this time, Mr. Nishimoto, who hanged himself, and Mr. Aso, who committed suicide by setting fire to himself twelve years ago. ”
"So, what are they using these codes for?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"Nobody knows about that." Officer Twilight waved his hand.
No, Conan thought, if it was really suicide, would anyone write a suicide note in such a troublesome way? In addition, Mr. Nishimoto looks scared to death at the mention of Keiji Aso, how can he compose something with music! But he killed..... It's a bit unreasonable. "By the way, I saw a suspicious person in the warehouse!" Conan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and spoke.
"Nani?" Mori Kogoro and Officer Twilight were taken aback at the same time.
"There were two people in the room at the time!" Conan looked at the two adults and said innocently, "But one of them jumped out of the window and escaped, and the other one is Mr. Murasawa!" At that time, he was knocked unconscious by someone unknown. I'm currently being treated by Dr. Sungsil. Speaking of this, Conan's heart moved again, and that inexplicable sense of familiarity hit again.
"What's going on?" Conan was very troubled, "This feels ......" suddenly a sharp pain in his head interrupted his thoughts.
"Really, why didn't you say it sooner!" Mori Kogoro said with his fist raised.
"Daddy!" Looking at the big bag on Conan's head, Xiaolan exclaimed distressedly.
......
"Why, haven't you found the sheet music left by Mr. Aso?" In the warehouse, Officer Twilight said dissatisfied.
"It's twelve years ago," the old policeman rummaged through his hand, "and the devil knows where it went." ”
Piano room
"Haven't you regained consciousness yet?" Mori Kogoro asked.
"Nope." Dr. Chengshi shook his head, "I guess it's a concussion."
"But I'd like to ask," Officer Twilight said solemnly to Reiko Kuroiwa, who had come to take care of him, "what is Mr. Murasawa doing here at such a late hour?" ”
"How do I know!" With tears in her eyes, Reiko Kuroiwa shouted loudly.
"It's ......," Conan picked up what looked like a hammer that Murasawa had in his hand.
"You don't mess with Monday's stuff, okay!" Reiko Kuroiwa snatched back what was in Conan's hand.
"What's that?" Kogoro asked curiously.
"How do I know!" Reiko Kuroiwa exclaimed with tears in her eyes, "But Monday has been careful to take it with you. ”
That's the tuning hammer for the piano. Conan's eyes sharpened. Could it be that this person?
"That's it!" Officer Twilight shouted, "Bring all the suspects to the town office!" ”
"Conan, what are you doing?" Xiaolan, who was about to walk out of the room, looked back and saw that Conan was lying under the piano and fumbling around.
"I'm looking for ...... That's it! "Conan fumbled for a mezzanine in a piano.
"This is ......" opened the interlayer, looking at the little powder that fell out, Conan twisted a little with his hand, sniffed it, and was immediately shocked, "Heroin!" ”
"Childhood friendship is too insignificant in the face of interests."
Asa Yu's voice echoed in his ears again, and Conan's eyes sharpened.
Inside the public hall.
"In the three cases that are happening now, the murderer must be one person!" Officer Twilight said loudly, "Miss Black Smoke and Dr. Narumi have an alibi, so they are excluded from the suspects, and the only ones left are Mr. Hirata, the secretary Mr. Hirata, Mr. Shimizu, the candidate for village head, and Mr. Murazawa." Dr. Narumi," he asked Narumi back, "Hasn't Mr. Murasawa woken up yet?" ”
"Yes, although I have Miss Reiko to take care of her, I haven't woken up yet." Asai Narumi said. Listening to her voice, Conan always had a strange feeling, as if something was on his mind. But the feeling was fleeting, and he didn't think much of it.
"Officer, the photos of the scene where the village chief of Kuroiwa was killed have been washed out." A police officer came up and said.
"Okay, let's line up at that table." Officer Twilight commanded.
"Strange," Conan, who took the opportunity to sneak forward, looked at the photo strangely, "There is a glow next to Kuroiwa's neck, but the next one is gone. What is that? ”
"Excuse me, can I go buy juice?" At that moment, Secretary Hirata said, "I'm feeling thirsty. ”
His hand was injured. Conan looked at Secretary Hirata's left hand and turned to follow.
Next to the vending machine, Hirata was flipping coins when a childish voice suddenly came.
"Uncle, you have white powder on your sleeve!"
Hearing this, Secretary Hirata's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly cleaned his clothes, but accidentally dropped his wallet on the ground, and scattered colorful coins on the ground.
"Wow, uncle, you have a lot of foreign coins here!" Conan continued.
"Because my uncle likes foreign countries very much!" Hirata hurriedly picked up the coin and hurriedly walked away. Looking at Hirata's hurried back, a sneer appeared on Conan's face.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the side, and Conan looked back, but it was a panting old policeman with a paper bag in his hand.
"Uncle Police!" Conan ran over and asked, "Are you alright?" ”
"Haha! I finally found it! The old policeman ignored Conan, "I finally found the score that Mr. Aso left behind!"
"What!" Conan snatched the paper bag away, "Show me!" ”
Through the dim street lamp, Conan read word by word, his warm blue pupils dilated suddenly, and an indescribable sense of pain instantly filled his heart.
"Actually...... It's you ......."
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
"Hey, little ghost, where are you going?" Mori Kogoro looked at Conan, who was rushing upstairs, and had to catch up.
Looking at Conan's back running away, Asai Narumi pursed his lips, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and turned around and disappeared.
Inside the broadcast room.
Looking at the button that was engraved with 'REVERSE,' Conan closed his eyes in pain. At this moment, how he wished his reasoning was wrong.
"No wonder he pulled me away then......" Conan muttered.
"Hey, little ghost, what did you find again? Running like crazy? Mori Kogoro, who came in a hurry, asked dissatisfiedly.
Conan didn't say much, silently walked behind him and raised his hand. With a soft "whoosh", Mori Kogoro shook a few times as if he was drunk, and collapsed in his chair unconscious.
Conan looked at Kogoro Mori, who had fallen asleep, gritted his teeth several times and touched his hand to the red bow around his neck, and finally couldn't help but put his hand down. Finally, Conan sighed and sat down weakly in a chair.
"What's wrong? Hesitation is not Sherlock Holmes's style! ”
A clear voice came from behind him, and Conan turned his head sharply, and was greeted by a boy whose eyes glowed golden in the darkness.
“...... Charlotte. Conan said lightly.
