Chapter 129: Moonlight - Death and Rebirth

"Nobody sleeps tonight?" Hearing Mori Kogoro's voice, Twilight Thirteen, who was going to catch Asai Narumi, was suddenly stunned.

"Actually, the first person to find out that Dr. Chengshi was the murderer was another doctor. That's right, I'm talking about Du Kang. "Mori Kogoro, who played Conan, did not debunk it on the spot, and Mori Kogoro and Du Kang had known each other for a long time.

Although the police present all knew about this hidden relationship, since Maori Kogoro did not reveal it, if Conan revealed this relationship at this time, and Maori Kogoro did not have this memory after waking up, and was still pretending to be an unknown identity relationship, it would naturally cause the surprise of many policemen. And when Mori Kogoro finds himself in this period of time without memory, he doesn't know why he has exposed this memory, he will definitely have some suspicions. Then the fire may burn Conan himself. Therefore, Conan did not choose to expose this relationship, but followed the pre-agreed setting of Mori Kogoro and Du Kang.

"And, just from my and Conan's narratives, we know the truth of the matter." Mori Kogoro's voice said so, and it was clear that Du Kang's absence gave Conan a little more confidence.

"I told him some clues, and then he said that if he was a murderer, he would accompany the melody......" Mori Kogoro hummed the melody of jasmine.

"Isn't this a Chinese folk song? I remember calling it Jasmine. Miwako Sato, who was next to her, said.

"Yes, Chinese folk songs." Maori Kogoro's voice was full of remorse, and it was obvious that Conan was also very unwilling, "Conan sang it at the time, and then it was his singing that induced me." ”

"Oh, did Conan get it wrong?" Twilight Thirteen is intrigued by this Jasmine plot.

"No, he didn't make a mistake." Mori Kogoro continued, "I didn't notice why Du Kang, who is Chinese, didn't sing it, but hummed the melody. ”

"Why?" Miwako Sato is clearly interested in Du Kang.

"Because it's not supposed to be sung in the first place." "You know, this melody is the most familiar Chinese sound in the Western world, and not just because it's a Chinese folk song. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by Maori dude? ”

"Turandot. That's right, Turandot. In Puccini's opera "Turandot", there is such a melody. It is said that Puccini received a music box from China with this melody in it, and then Puccini wrote the famous "Turandot" based on it. It's just that when this melody sounds, it is not a cheerful occasion, but every time the head is chopped, this melody will be played. ”

"Turandot" probably tells the story of a princess named Turandot recruiting relatives, well, a bit like Mu Nianci. And the project of recruiting relatives is not a competition like Mu Nianci, but a guess of Turandot's three questions. And the answer to the last question is "Turandot"

"That's why Du Kang said that this melody is used for killing." Miwako Sato said.

"Yes. After Conan sings this song, the doctor suddenly arrives at the Bureau Tavern and sings "No One Sleeps Tonight". ”

"'No One Sleeps Tonight', I've heard this." Twilight Thirteen had apparently heard this tune too.

"It's also from Turandot. After all three of Turandot's questions were guessed by the male protagonist, the male protagonist gave Turandot a problem, that is, to guess what his name was. And in order to guess his name, Turandot, as a princess, ordered that no one in the city could sleep and that he had to find the name of the male protagonist. ”

"But what does this have to do with the case?"

"The doctor meant to let everyone guess his name. Or rather, it has already been told that he himself is the murderer. ”

Conan slammed the floor hard, but didn't make a sound.

There is a fact that does not tell everyone, Du Kang did not know about the murderer when he knew about it when he was in an izakaya, but it is very likely that he knew about it before the crime.

Conan thought of the melody of the jasmine hummed by Du Kang, and the song "Nobody Sleeps Tonight" sung by Dr. Sungsil. Then I thought about it and thought of "The Demon King" played by Du Kang.

"Du Kang, did you know everything from that time?" Conan turned off the voice changer and whispered unwillingly, "Demon King, son and father, aren't they Keiji Aso and Narumi." ”

"Hey, where's Dr. Chengshi?" Conan, who came out from behind the sofa, was puzzled when he saw that the person who was still talking was gone.

"Isn't Dr. Chengshi here all the time?" Twilight Thirteen said, then turned to see, "Hey, what about people? ”

"Ran away?!" Conan was surprised. I've worked so hard, I haven't been faster than Du Kang, and I've been sending him for a long time, and you just look at people like this.

"Why don't you go find it?"

The police searched Moon Shadow Island from Ken Nishimoto's residence, and smoke slowly rose not far away.

It is the public hall.

In the public hall, Narumi Asai came to the room where the piano was located and sat on the piano bench.

And a man walked in at the door.

It was Du Kang.

"Lord Demon King. Is there something you need from me? Asai Narumi played light music, and it was clear that everything was done and Asai Narumi's heart was also very relaxed.

Du Kang took off his coat, threw it into a bucket in the room, soaked it, and set it up on the couch next to him. Then he threw the phone wrapped in thick tin foil into the pocket of his coat.

"Lord Demon King?" Du Kang paused for a moment, and thought of what Asai Narumi said in his ear in the izakaya, "I am Calaffer, Lord of the Demons." ”

"Yes. Yes. I'm here to see you off for the last time. Calaffer. Du Kang said.

"Yes." Narumi Asai smiled with satisfaction.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Du Kang tried to carry out hospice care, and there was no intention of admonishment.

"Well, no. Maybe I've never seen Turandot, so it's a bit of a pity. Obviously, Narumi Asai, who is obsessed with revenge, is not in the mood to fall in love. Narumi Asai, who became a woman, also has no way to fall in love.

"Neither do I." Du Kang is also a single dog, and Du Kang, who has no mission of revenge, is also a single dog.

"An ensemble? Lord Demon? Asai sat on the piano bench and invited.

"Okay." Du Kang sat directly on the right side of the piano bench, found that the height was a little wrong, and prepared to adjust the height, and then thought of Asai Narumi next to him, and canceled the plan to adjust the height. Bend your knee directly, your left foot is slightly ahead, and your right foot rubs against the piano bench and throws it behind.

"The piano is also a dialogue between the scales." Because of the reason for bending his knees, Du Kang couldn't help but think of Shinji Ikari and Kaoru Nagisa.

"Kaoru Nagisa doesn't know what kind of mood she feels to play the piano, but it must be the opposite of me." Du Kang thought to himself, playing the piano theme with Asai Narumi.

It's not a famous song, it's clearly a freewheeling work. And this also gives Du Kang room to play.

Du Kang, who was in a heavy mood, turned his head slightly and looked at Asai Narumi. Asai Narumi, who knew that he was facing death, was staring intently ahead, obviously very familiar with the keys. And the smile on Asai Narumi's face made Du Kang think of the word "redemption".

"It's wonderful, a note with you." Looking at Asai Narumi as if he felt something, turning his head, Du Kang adjusted his facial expression, smiled, and said, "I don't have any talent for playing the piano, and I love to improvise." Thank you for filling me in. ”

Leaving without concern is also a kind of mercy.

The four palms flew on the white and black keys, and the fire gradually grew larger. Du Kang could even smell honeycomb coals burned in winter.

Du Kang, who was smiling, was extremely heavy in his heart.

I thought of Kaoru Nagisa and Shinji Ikari, thought of the severed head, and then thought of my Shiho.

"I'm afraid I'll never see you again, because nothing has been passed on to you." Du Kang said.

Du Kang said what he wanted to say to Shiho, but he could never say it, to Asai Narumi.

Du Kang knew why he felt so sorry for him, wasn't it because he was the same as the first girl he pursued when he was in China. The same piano playing, the same medicine, the same hair.

"The Demon King also has his own Demon King." Narumi Asai said, making the last care.

"My Demon King, my Shihoyo."

"Nice name, you must like her very much." Asai Narumi looked at Du Kang's side face and sighed.

"Yes, her voice is like the complement you gave me. Let me get made up. Du Kang thought of Shiho, couldn't help but think of Rei Ayana, and then thought of the human completion plan, "The human race was not complete in the first place, and with her, I feel that the whole person has been made up." ”

"Doctor Chengshi, Doctor Chengshi." The fire was already raging, and a man rushed in from the outside.
