Chapter 124 Moonlight - Dancing Villain

Asai sat on the piano bench again, as if he was very attached to the piano bench.

As Du Kang said, in the way of C major, as a treble clef, Asai Narumi watched the photocopied score play the tune, while Du Kang stood in front of Asai Narumi to the right, observing the inner structure of the grand piano.

Twilight Thirteen saw Du Kang's posture of observing the internal structure of the grand piano, and he also came over and joined in the fun. Even if they are not as talented as these wild detectives in solving crimes, and they are not as professional as these people in some medicine, music theory, or whatever, they are still professional policemen.

The discordant sound coming from the piano, which does not look like some normal piece of music, can already show that the so-called score is indeed a code, not the score of some piece. However, Asai Narumi is still playing seriously.

No one was talking, no one was moving, everyone was standing by the piano and listening.

The performance of the code officially ended, and Asai Narumi stood up. There was no applause, although the fingering and playing temperament were surprisingly good, but because the so-called "music" itself is not a moving melody, the people who listened to it were not considered to be the audience, nor did they have the consciousness of the audience.

"Chengshi, do you have any ideas?" Du Kang took the initiative to ask.

"Nope." Narumi Asai shook his head and said cleanly.

"Neither do I." Du Kang took the words and said in such a tone, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, it's obvious that the code is written with the surname of the music score, even if the person who actually wrote the music score and designed the code are not the same person." But at least speaking of which, the recipient of the information must also be someone who understands music theory to some degree, right? It's sheet music, after all, right? Although I don't know much, I think I'm better than the average person. ”

This is Du Kang's thinking, after all, you make the receiver unclear when you pass on the message, so this is not right. Du Kang himself has done this in his own professional form, and naturally has a deep understanding of this point.

"Form is one thing, and it's a musical code. And the content is even more important. Du Kang used his philosophical thinking to try to decipher this code.

"After all, no matter how good the form is, the content is the focus of the delivery. It's like a man, no matter how handsome he looks, or he is very good and attractive in a certain aspect, but if he can't give the woman safety and a good living environment, it may be okay to be a friend, but forget it when he is a husband. Du Kang naturally muttered to himself, and he could be regarded as convincing himself.

Even if it weren't for the overly rigorous blood-soaked score, Du Kang even suspected that the score was not a masterpiece of Asai at all.

Du Kang took the photo of the score that the police quickly printed, calculating, thinking.

And Twilight Thirteen and Mori Kogoro next to them looked at Du Kang's appearance, listening to Du Kang's words, also thinking and thinking.

"Could it be a pictogram code like the tadpole text in Xia Ke Xing," Du Kang turned the angle of the printed paper and looked at it, "I didn't find anything." ”

There is a plot in Jin Yong's novel "Chivalry and Travel", which is about a pair of tadpole texts engraved on the wall, which is said to be a peerless martial arts. The so-called tadpole text is that the symbol of each word is crooked, not a traditional word, but a tadpole-like symbol. Then a bunch of martial arts masters went, and all kinds of archaeological analysis and argumentation said that this meant this and that meant that, but a bunch of people did not agree with each other, and they all felt that other people's analysis was wrong. However, only one child passed, and this child did not know how to read or write at all, nor did he have much education, so he simply practiced according to the shape and appearance of the tadpole script, and then learned the martial arts of the world.

"That is to say, the musical symbols are half notes, quarter notes, they are actually musical notes, but the meaning expressed is actually the result of the deconstruction of the pictograms." Du Kang explained to everyone. After all, even if it is Chinese, even if Jin Yong himself is known to everyone in China, but people who have watched Jin Yong's "Chivalrous Journey" are not as many people as people who have memorized "sweet leaves on the twisting lotus pond".

And Asai Narumi next to him listened to Du Kang's reasoning and analysis, like Lu Xun, full of thoughts, "Do I really think so?" ”

"Well, it's not impossible." Conan, who was standing next to Kogoro Mori, touched his chin and thought about it, thinking about the possibilities of Du Kang's words if they were really true.

"Could it be that the murderer invited these dead people to come and crack the code, and then these dead people did not cooperate, so they killed them?" Conan said, touching his chin.

Conan analyzed it according to the plot in Jin Yong's "Chivalrous Journey" that Du Kang said.

And Conan, who has read Jin Yong's novels so thoroughly, is more like a Chinese in the eyes of everyone.

As for the real Kudo Shinichi, why he has read Jin Yong is not something difficult to understand. After all, his father Yusaku Kudo has a bookcase in a large circular room, a whole curved wall of books, it can't be a sherlock Holmes with various versions, and of course, it can't be like the father of a well-known cross talk actor, a whole wall of "Golden Vase Plum".

As a writer, Kudo Yusaku naturally has to have contact with Jin Yong's books. And for the "Baron of the Night" series of books, it is not reasonable not to read the martial arts novels of China's most famous martial arts novelists, who also ran to Chinatown and then scares and follows Conan.

"However, if it's a chivalrous tadpole text, it's not impossible." Du Kang said, "However, I think the Japanese can't say that they haven't seen Jin Yong, but there shouldn't be many." ”

As he spoke, Du Kang secretly reminded Conan - "Don't show your head again, causing some people to doubt your identity."

Although the people on Moon Shadow Island think that Conan is Du Kang's younger brother and is a Chinese, it is not strange to know some Chinese works. But Mori Kogoro knew that Conan was a Japanese who was a serious child, and Conan of Edogawa who was a serious child.

In case in case Mori Kogoro was too talkative and told his daughter. Then Xiao Lanhua suspects Conan's true identity and age, who suffers and who knows. Anyway, Du Kang doesn't suffer.

"Speaking of which, I've seen some Japanese people who can recite Kong Yiji word for word. However, the possibility of tadpole text is not very likely, but it may be another code. "So, Sherlock Holmes's dancing villain might be more likely than the tadpole in Chivalry." ”

"Dancing villain?" Conan heard the work of Sherlock Holmes mentioned by Du Kang, and immediately became energetic.

Knowing Jin Yong will arouse suspicion, but knowing Sherlock Holmes will not make people suspicious at all.

After all, his name is Conan, and it is clear that his parents also love Sherlock Holmes. So it's not unreasonable that Conan, as a child, is so sensitive to Sherlock Holmes.

"Well, and, you see," Du Kang pointed to the score, "the five lines of the staff, and then the five lines sandwiched between the five lines and the six rooms above and below, plus the one line below the treble clef representing do, a total of 12. 12 and multiply by two notes, which are half notes and quarter notes, for a total of 24. ”

Why is it 24 letters, everyone is welcome to guess.
