Chapter 22: Moonlight, Moonlight! (iv)
"If Mr. Kawashima was thrown into the sea and drowned, then the probability of the prisoner returning to the public hall is very high!" Mori Kogoro said solemnly.
"What do you say? Do you mean that the prisoners are still among us? The village chief of Kuroiwa shouted.
"That's right." Mori Kogoro replied firmly, "Did any of you see Mr. Kawashima go out after he went out?" ”
"Cut, who remembers this kind of thing!" Murasawa said disdainfully on Monday.
"If Mr. Kawashima died, wouldn't you be happier if he died?" The village chief of Kuroiwa looked at Mr. Shimizu Masato behind him and said.
"Aren't you the same?" Mr. Shimizu said angrily.
"Yes," Kuroiwa-sama said in a weird voice, "if someone hadn't changed Mr. Kawashima's vote to himself, my father would have been elected." ”
"What did you say!" Mr. Shimizu let out a low roar.
"Miss!" Mr. Hirata hurriedly stopped in front of her.
"It's the epitome of human sin." Asa Yu said lightly, "The inferior nature of human beings is exposed in front of interests, such a guy really doesn't deserve to be called a human anymore, it's just a group of vultures competing for carrion!" The voice was soft, but Conan beside him could still hear it clearly.
"Please, Charlotte." Conan didn't say much, because he also felt that the behavior of these people was really ugly.
"Such a person should die early." After Asa Yu finished speaking, he got up and walked to the window and stopped talking. Conan was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
Standing in front of the piano, Asai Narumi looked at the figure in front of the window, and a hint of discoloration flashed on his face. She felt that the child seemed to smile at her the moment he turned around, and the smile was meaningful.
Well, he's just a kid. Cheng Shi smiled, and the gentleness on his face was intoxicating.
"Alright, everyone calm down!" Mori Kogoro stopped the impending quarrel, "When was this piano here?" ”
"It was donated to the public hall by Mr. Aso fifteen years ago, and it has been here ever since." Secretary Hirata replied.
"Aso......" Kogoro muttered for a moment, "is that Aso?" ”
"Yes," said Hirata, "his name is still engraved on the lid of the piano!" ”
"Name," Mori Kogoro said, opening the lid of the piano, "this, this is!" ”
There was also a commotion in the crowd, but no one noticed that a man's body was shaking.
"Sheet music......" Kogoro looked at the thing in his hand strangely, "It's strange, I haven't seen it during the day?" ”
"Ahh The man finally couldn't help it, and ran out of the room trembling and screaming, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Who is this man?" Mori Kogoro looked strangely in the direction the man left and asked Secretary Hirata beside him.
"He's Mr. Nishimoto." Secretary Hirata explained, "Anyway, he used to be quite powerful, but since the death of the previous village chief, she has become decadent, by the way," Hirata suddenly remembered something, "He and the village chief are still childhood playmates, right?" ”
"Ah, that seems to be the case." The village chief of Kuroiwa was stunned for a moment, and then continued.
This reaction! Conan looked at him strangely, does this kind of thing still need to be considered?
"The police are coming!" At this time, Xiaolan, who was out of breath, finally rushed back, with a thin old man wearing glasses.
"You're too slow, aren't you?" Kogoro said dissatisfiedly.
"There's no way," Xiaolan said helplessly, "because he's not in the police station, I'm running around looking for him." ”
"Who found me?" The old man asked as he pushed his glasses.
"It's Mr. Kogoro Mori from Tokyo!" Secretary Hirata said.
"Ahh The old man looked delighted, "You are the famous ......" Hearing this, Kogoro's face couldn't help but rise with pride.
"Space astronauts?" The old man's next sentence made his face fall with praise.
“...... Okay, anyway, let's go back today. Investigative inquiries begin tomorrow. Kogoro said.
"What kind of murder, it's obviously Mr. Aso's ghost! Amitabha. An old man said before leaving.
......
"I'm really surprised by Conan's reasoning just now!" Walking on the way back to the hotel, Chengshi spoke.
"Ah, I'm just imitating Uncle Maori!" Conan touched his head and said with a pretending of innocence.
"Not really." Chengshi said seriously, "That convincing feeling is absolutely real!" And Kaede," she looked at Asa Yu, "and he looks like an adult!" ”
"Speaking of which, these two children are really not ordinary." Xiaolan said with a smile, touching Conan's head dotingly.
"......" Conan secretly rolled his eyes.
"Sister Chengshi," Asamu suddenly spoke, her voice was soft and glutinous, Xiaolan's eyes were red when she listened, and Conan was disgusted. "You live alone on the island, what about your parents?"
“...... They're gone. After being silent for a while, Chengshi lowered his head and said with a little sadness, "There was an accident." ”
In an instant, Asa Yu's pupils turned into shocking pure gold, he stared at Chengshi's eyes, from the window of his heart, he seemed to see all her emotions, no hatred, no anger, only a thick nostalgia and sadness.
Asa Yu's heart seemed to be twitched violently, a feeling he had never had in the thirty years of his previous life. Why do you embarrass such a kind girl, O world? In an instant, he extinguished the golden pupils, but he made a decision in his heart.
"Mr. Maori," Cheng Shi said, in silence, "can you end this case quickly, I really don't want to do any more autopsy." ”
"Okay, with my Maori Kogoro here, I will definitely rob the case as soon as possible!" Mori Kogoro is still as flamboyant as ever.
"That's great." Chengshi smiled reluctantly, "Then, I'll go back to the clinic first." As he spoke, he turned around and left, took a few steps, turned his head again, and smiled at Asa Yu; My brother, when you left, you were your age! ”
"Then, I'll be your brother!" There was no hesitation, and in Conan's surprised eyes, Asaba replied with a smile.
A smile like a flower bloomed on Chengshi's mouth, and even Xiaolan was shocked for a few seconds, Chengshi walked over, bent down, and hugged Qianyu; "Then, okay, Xiao Feng, you are my younger brother." As if suddenly, Asaba felt a hot drop of liquid drip on his face. Before he could react, Chengshi had already gotten up, turned around and left quickly.
Asa Yu touched the liquid that had become cold on his face, looked at the direction where Asai Narumi left in a daze, and was silent.
