Chapter 40: Moonlight Sonata under Fire

"Where do you have to go to Captain Asai?" Hearing Yuichi's roar, the Twilight Police Department stopped his steps, touched his chin and followed Yuichi's train of thought.

However, knowing what Yuichi usually does after a person like Captain Asai who is determined to take revenge is revenged, he doesn't care about giving the Twilight Police Department time to use his IQ.

"Twilight Police Department, you go to the ruins of Aso's house! Chiba, you go to the grave of Keiji Aso in the Moon Shadow Island Cemetery, remember to be quick! ”

"Huh? Brother Youyi, what are you doing back? ”

"I'm going to see the only relic of Keiji Aso! Piano in the piano room! After hurriedly answering the questions from the Twilight Police Department, Yuichi, who had just left the community center, turned around and ran towards the community center.

"This is? Gasoline? Damn it! I knew it! When Yuichi hurried all the way back to the community center again, although he was standing at the door, the smell of irritating people dizziness instantly made him understand where the disappeared Asai Lieutenant was, and sure enough, when he kicked open the door of the piano room, the familiar figure was elegantly throwing a match to the wet ground not far away.

"Aso! Are you crazy? Don't you just want to live? Your father's last words to you, are you so inappropriate? Do you think they will be happy when you are far away in heaven? I think seeing you like this now, their hearts will only be more painful, right? ”

Facing Yuichi who was standing at the door with a distressed face, Captain Asai, who had lit the fire of purification, looked back at Yuichi with a mentally retarded look and sneered.

"My father's last words? Don't be funny! How did I not know there was such a thing? If you want to trick me into turning myself in, you have to think of a reliable reason! Officer Kudo! ”

"Huh? You don't know? So how did you find out the truth about your father's murder? While throwing the limited edition sheet music that Keiji Aso had just turned out from the warehouse next door to Lieutenant Asai who was sitting next to the piano, Yuichi couldn't help but ask.

"How do I know? Hahaha! I can only say that God can't look past it, and wants me to take revenge! While reaching out to catch the sheet music bound book that Yuichi threw over, Captain Asai, who was carefully watching Yuichi's further movements, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Yuichi's inquiry.

"That was two years ago.,Twelve years ago, I lived in a Tokyo sanatorium and suddenly lost the news of my father.,And soon after receiving the news of his death and becoming an orphan, I began my own lonely life of being adopted.,Changed my name to Asai Lieutenant I thought I would forget this unbearable memory.,But when I graduated from medical school.,When I looked at the three words of Moon Shadow Island on the assigned unit.,Thinking of the past.,I actually chose to come here to be a doctor., From the bottom of my heart, I never believed that my father would kill my mother and sister and set himself on fire, so I wanted to investigate the truth, and I started my life here as a doctor with my beautiful face and long hair.

Then, when I was still the head of Moonshadow Island, Isamu Kameyama, that old perverted ghost, actually asked me to this piano room after an event to do something indescribable to me, a beautiful female doctor, but when he swiped along my thigh towards the mysterious area, he touched something that shouldn't be there, as if he had seen a ghost, he pointed at me and stammered so frightened that he couldn't speak, and seeing that he had lost his mind, I tentatively told him my real name! As a result, he thought I was coming back for revenge, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried and explained everything to me, and then died in front of me because he was too emotional, and died in front of me because of his heart attack, in order to thank him for telling the truth, he played a moonlight sonata for him as a requiem, and when I heard someone approaching, I put him in front of the piano and hurriedly left the piano room, and then I began my revenge plan! ”

"I see! No wonder you didn't see your father's suicide note and still know what was going on, if only you had seen the sheet music sooner! ”

"Yes! Pity! This score came too late! I've already killed Hideo Kawashima, Ken Nishimoto, and Tatsuji Kuroiwa! If I hadn't bought snacks and went to the hotel to find Mr. Mori and they were told that Mr. Mori and the others had returned to the community center, I wouldn't have seen Ken Nishimoto sneaking you down on the street, and I wouldn't have heard his demonic self-talk, because my father used to have such a good relationship with him, he didn't even feel a trace of guilt until now! If it weren't for the fact that some fool had suddenly approached the piano room and was discovered by Mr. Maori, I wouldn't have left the warehouse in a hurry and circled back to them. In that case, maybe you wouldn't have brought me this sheet music now! ”

"Really? If I'm not mistaken, that bastard should be Kazuaki Hirata, after your father's incident, Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the others didn't wash their hands, and only Hideo Kawashima contacted this guy, and the two continued to use the methods and codes invented by your father to conduct drug deals, that night it should be that he was afraid that the corpse of Hideo Kawashima who was transferred by you to the piano would attract the attention of the police to the piano, so as to find the drugs he hid there, and go to transfer the drugs, but I didn't expect to run into Uncle Maori who killed them again! ”

"Kazuaki Hirata? No wonder he often wanders around the community center! Two years ago, it seemed that he was the one who heard my piano and ran in! It's really not in line with my fate! Okay, we're done talking! Now that the fire is a little out of control, look at Officer Kudo, the ring on your finger should be married, right? You're not like me, and you're still tied up in this world! So get out of here! ”

"What about you! Aso! Turn yourself in! Suicide isn't your only option! Don't hold on, come out! Before the fire spreads, get out of here with me! Yuichi, who heard the persuasion of Lieutenant Asai, realized at this time that he had just patronized the mouth cannon, and he didn't realize that the fire around him had burned so big.

However, after hearing his persuasion, Asai Lieutenant gently stroked the name engraved on the piano lid with Keiji Aso, and then opened the piano lid and played slowly, and the song played was the curse that had been hanging over Moonshadow Island - Moonlight Sonata.

"It's too late! Officer Kudo! My hands are as bloody as the four who died, and I can't accept myself anymore to live in this world, so I beg you! Let me completely purify my sins in this red lotus karmic fire! Father! Lieutenant is here to accompany you! ”

Looking at the tears of relief mixed with remorse flowing from the corners of his eyes and quickly evaporated by the heat wave, Yuichi, who was standing at the door, sighed and turned around and left the piano room, some criminals should not be arrested personally, let them settle their own sins.

Yuichi, who walked out of the fire, was immediately surrounded by the Twilight Police Department and others who rushed to see the smoke and flames.

"Brother Youyi! What's going on? How did the community center catch fire? Are you okay? Would you like to be taken back to the Tokyo hospital by helicopter? ”

Faced with the concern of the Twilight Police Department and others, Yuichi, who was a little tired, pulled up a smile on the corner of his mouth with difficulty and said, "It's nothing! Lieutenant Asai is inside, he set the fire, I didn't have time to rescue him, I'm afraid I'm going to die here today! ”

"Huh? Is it? That's so good, a serial murderer like this, catching him won't give him good fruit to eat! That's a bargain for him! ”

"Really?" Hearing a strange melody that was played after the moonlight sonata, Yuichi, who felt sorry for Captain Asai, couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, a poor man ruined by hatred.

"Thank you! Officer Kudo? ”

"Huh? Conan? What did you say? ”

"Nothing! I'm just talking nonsense! Conan, who also heard the meaning from this weird melody, glanced at Yuichi on the side strangely and couldn't help muttering alone, once again being exposed by this bastard cousin of his! Damn it! Next time, I must solve the case before him!

When the fire completely burned down the community center where his father's relics were placed, Yuichi, who explained the reason for the case with Conan Xiaolan and others, also left Lunaris Island with Conan with the same heavy expression, maybe he would never come here again, right? Standing on the passenger ship and looking at the Moon Shadow Island that gradually disappeared from his sight, Yuichi, who had forgotten his promise to the old policeman for a while, thought about it in his heart, but how could he only have this one sad story to face after becoming a policeman in the Conan world? As long as there is sin in the world, there will be no shortage of stages for sorrow.
