Chapter Twenty-Eight: Moonlight Revelation on the Isle of Moonshadow
"It's the moonlight, it's the curse on the piano, it's the one who killed Mr. Kawashima!" The village chief's secretary said with a frightened look on his face, and took a few steps back as he spoke.
"Is there any doubt?" Seeing Conan looking out the window, Harukawa asked.
"No, though, the prisoner should be a man." Conan was still a little unsure.
"Oh!" Harukawa wondered.
"It's not a woman who can kill Mr. Kawashima and bring him here." Conan explained.
"Really?" Harukawa wasn't sure, but what was going to happen next gave him no time to think.
"Hey, hey! Who are you? A group of people who participated in the ceremony walked in, and the Black Rock Village Chief said.
"In Shimomori Kogoro, it's a detective from Tokyo! Honest doctor, can you ask for an autopsy! Maori said to a group of people at the door.
"Space pilot?"
"It's reasoning!"
"Isn't it called wise?"
"That's in the book!"
A group of people had never heard of Mori's reputation as a detective in Tokyo.
Maori's face froze, and he didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Maori!" The honest doctor has simply examined the cause of Hideo Kawashima's death.
"Ahem! How did Mr. Kawashima die? Maori asked, averting his embarrassment.
"Mr. Kawashima died of suffocation, and he should have drowned in the sea." Said the honest doctor.
"Are you sure?" The cause of death of the deceased cannot be determined, and it is difficult to find clues about the culprit.
"I can't be sure without an autopsy!" Said the honest doctor.
"I agree with the honest doctor's statement that the coat in the sea must have belonged to Mr. Kawashima, and judging from the fact that it was locked, there were obvious traces of sea water left by dragging on the floor, and there was sand and mud on Mr. Kawashima's body.
I think I should have taken Kawashima to the beach and drowned and then dragged back here, and then pressed the tape recorder, so that the moonlight would have been blank before. Conan deduced that he pressed the tape recorder again, and sure enough, it was blank before the moonlight began.
"This kid, when!" Maori looked at Conan in surprise.
"Isn't it? Uncle. Conan immediately pretended to be a child again.
"Yes! Ahem! Judging from the scene, it must have been a premeditated murder, and if the door had been locked, since we were all in the hallway, the prisoner would still be among you! Maori pointed to Kuroiwa Chenji and a group of people.
"Wait! You say the prisoners are still among us! The one who seems to be Kuroiwa Tatsuji's daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, said.
"Hmmm! The probability is quite high. Maori replied.
"Guys, have any of you noticed any of you who have ever left during the ritual?" Maori began his career as a detective.
"How can we remember this!" Reiko Kuroiwa's fiancé said.
"So who knows why Mr. Kawashima left halfway?" As soon as Maori finished speaking, Kuroiwa Tatsuji said.
"I know that, I'm pretty sure he said he was going to the bathroom." Kuroiwa Tatsuji is sure.
"Did he offend anyone?" Maori asked again.
"It's not offended, it's just that Mr. Kawashima seems to be able to benefit from this village head candidate, Mr. Shimizu!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji calmly poured water on his opponent.
"Aren't you the same!" Qing Shui immediately jumped out and said loudly.
"If someone hadn't turned Mr. Shimizu's vote source into their own, then my father would have been elected village chief a long time ago!" The Miss Reiko Kuroiwa said.
Shimizu Masato was about to speak, when Xiaolan, who went to look for the police, rushed in with an old policeman and interrupted Shimizu Masato.
"Why is it so slow?" Maori is somewhat to blame.
"Because this policeman is not at the police station." Xiaolan explained.
"The one who came to me?" The old policeman with glasses said.
"That's him! A detective from Tokyo, his name is Kogoro Mori. The village chief's secretary came out to introduce the old policeman.
"It's the famous space pilot!" The old policeman was excited, but disappointed some of the expectations of Maori.
"Why did the prisoner drag the body back here?" Conan didn't understand that the prisoner was an act, and since he had already been killed, why bother dragging him back here.
"Because the prisoner wants to disguise a piano and curse to kill people, by the way, whose piano does this piano belong to?" Maori asked the secretary.
"It was donated by Mr. Aso fifteen years ago, and his name is still printed on the lid!" The secretary, who was very afraid of the curse, said.
"It's Mr. Aso again! What is it? Maori lowered the lid and found a piece of paper.
"It's the score, it should be the clue left by Mr. Kawashima!" Maori thinks.
"Ahh A man with a messy hairstyle ran out as if he saw Maori take out the sheet music.
"Who is he?" Maori asked.
"He's Mr. Nishimoto, he used to be very powerful, and he threw a lot of money at women, gambling and alcohol, but since the death of the previous village chief, he has rarely gone out, and he seems to be afraid of something, by the way, I remember the village chief, you and Mr. Nishimoto seem to be childhood playmates!" The secretary looked at the village chief.
"That's right!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji was a little reluctant to talk about this topic.
"Alright, it's late, let's go back first! Let's start the investigation tomorrow! Maori said to a group of people, and after saying that, the group went back to their own countries.
Mori Kogoro also walked back to the hotel to rest.
"Conan is really amazing, he actually found so many!" The honest doctor praises Conan.
"There's still a big gap compared to me!" Maori also blushes either.
"Because this kid usually likes to play reasoning games!" Xiaolan said.
"Honest doctor, we're going back to the hotel too!" Maori said to the honest doctor who was still with him.
"By the way, I know, the prisoner will still kill, the new letter said that something will happen on the night of the full moon, but this time the matter is not over!" Conan ran back after saying that.
"That's true!" Maori thought about it carefully, and really, just about to go back, he saw that Conan had already run away, and hurried to follow.
"Conan, Daddy." Xiaolan was also going back, but Qingchuan grabbed her.
"Xiaolan, we have something to deal with, so we won't go back, and I'll come to you when it's settled." Qingshuang had already left just now, and Maori didn't care.
"Hmmm! Be careful. Xiaolan was worried, because she wanted to miss what Harukawa had said before she lost her memory.
"I will, Bo!" After speaking, he kissed Xiaolan, and left after the kiss.
Qingchuan was very fast, and he didn't find that Xiaolan didn't go to the public hall, but followed him, and Qingchuan rushed to solve the trouble, so he didn't find Xiaolan following.
