Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Murder on Moonshadow Island III

"Yes, when I came to this island, the first person I met was Mr. Kameyama, so I wanted to burn incense to pay my respects." Asai Narumi nodded with a smile, then pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said, "This is what we said before, Mr. Shimizu." ”

Shimizu Masato nodded at the four of them, and said with a smile: "Under Shimizu Masato, please give me a lot of advice!" ”

"Hello!" The group smiled and returned the salute.

"The ritual is about to begin, so let's go first." Narumi Asai smiled and waved his hand, and after glancing at Yoshitsuru Yamamoto, he walked in with Masato Shimizu.

Looking at the back of Asai Narumi leaving, Yamamoto Yoshitsuru sighed secretly, this beauty may still have to do it, if there is a case tonight, I am afraid that it should be her.

"Yamamoto, everyone is gone, what else to see." Moriran waved his hand and shook it in front of Yoshizuru Yamamoto's eyes.

"It's nothing, it's just a blind look." Yoshitsuru Yamamoto replied and continued to sit down. All I can do now is wait here, and if I can, I can find a way to cover her up. He really couldn't bear to let such a beautiful woman die and be arrested in front of her eyes.

As time passed, the full moon began to slowly rise and hang in the sky, shining silver light over the earth.

"Bang bang"

Listening to the piano music that suddenly appeared, the group waiting in the entrance was stunned for a moment, and Conan immediately reacted and ran directly to the piano room. "It's moonshine!"

"Moonlight Sonata!" For this famous piano piece, even Yoshitsuru Yamamoto, who doesn't know how to play the piano, has heard it, so when it sounds, he knows that the incident still happened. It's just that he didn't mean to go first, and when Conan ran away, he followed.

Glancing at the residents on both sides of the corridor, Yoshitsuru Yamamoto opened the door of the piano room first, only to see a man lying on the piano facing the other side.

"Ah, it's Mr. Kawashima!" The residents who walked in couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, they didn't need to look at them to know that the situation was not good, and maybe they were already dead.

Seeing this, Maori Kogoro, who was running behind, walked in directly, pressed the pulse on the corpse a few times, shook his head, and looked at everyone: "It's dead!" ”

"What did you say?!" A short, bald man dressed in black exclaimed in disbelief.

Ignoring the bald man, Maori Kogoro said to his daughter: "Xiaolan, go and inform the police!" As he spoke, he said to Asai Narumi at the door: "Doctor Chengshi, can you please come for an autopsy?" ”

"Huh? Oh! Good! Asai Narumi was stunned for a moment, then responded and walked to the corpse on the piano.

"Curse! This is the curse of this piano! A middle-aged man with eyes covered his head, pointed to the piano that was still playing the moonlight sonata with a frightened expression, and kept backing away.

"Alas! What a curse, it's not the piano that makes the sound, it's this video recorder! Kogoro Mori said as he picked up the video recorder on the piano and handed it to the crowd.

Turning off the recording, Mori Kogoro looked at everyone: "Judging from what happened now and three years ago, this is someone's plan and a planned murder!" ”

A young man in black sunglasses said, "Oops! You don't want to talk nonsense, who the hell are you? ”

After listening to the young man's question, Mori Kogoro tidied up his clothes and said with a smile on his face: "I'm a detective from Tokyo, I'm Mori Kogoro!" ”

"Mori Kogoro?" Hearing the name, one of the residents suddenly realized: "Oh, it's that space pilot!" ”

The resident next to him shook his head and retorted, "No, he often appears in mystery novels." ”

"That's wise!" Another villager retorted.

Yoshitsuru Yamamoto stood beside Asai Honestly, looked at Kogoro Mori, who was a little injured, and Conan, who was observing the scene, and asked Narumi Asai, "Doctor Narumi, you say, if you want to move an adult man from somewhere else, can a young woman do it?" ”

Asai Narumi trembled when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I'm not a detective, if you want to know, Mr. Yamamoto, you have to ask the Maori detective." ”

"Actually, I'm also a detective, and I'm learning from Master Maori." Yoshitsuru Yamamoto said and stood up and stepped aside, not bothering her anymore for the autopsy.

After a short time, Asai Narumi took the recorded notes and read, "The preliminary speculation is that the time of death should be thirty minutes to an hour ago, and the cause of death is suffocation." As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the sea and said, "I think Mr. Kawashima must have drowned in the sea." ”

"Drowned!" Mori Kogoro muttered to himself.

Asai Narumi nodded and said, "If you don't take a look, I don't dare to make a conclusion." ”

"I don't think what Dr. Sung Sil said was wrong. You see, the coat on the beach outside must be Mr. Kawashima's. Conan, who was standing by the window, pointed to his coat in the sea, then walked to the floor and squatted down, pointed to the door and the piano, and said, "There are also traces of being dragged from the door to the piano, and Mr. Kawashima's body is also covered with mud and sand." With the doors and windows locked, the first few minutes of the tape should have been blank. I am afraid that the prisoner took Mr. Kawashima to the beach and drowned him in the middle of the ceremony, and then carried the body to this room, locked it, pressed the light of the tape recorder, and walked out of the room to the corridor. ”

Speaking of this, Conan saw everyone looking at him like a monster, and he knew that it was not good, so he turned to look at Maori Kogoro cutely and said, "Isn't it?" Uncle! ”

"Uh-huh! That's right, that's right! Mori Kogoro smiled awkwardly as he spoke, coughed dryly, and then said, "If the door to this room is locked, because we have been at the entrance just now, the possibility of the prisoner returning to the scene of the ceremony is very high." ”

"Hey, you mean to say that the prisoners are still among us." A young woman in a black white-collar uniform with long curly orange wavy hair draped over her shoulders kept looking at everyone present as she spoke, fearing that the prisoner would suddenly attack.

"That's right, the prisoner is here!" Mori Kogoro nodded and looked at the crowd, "Excuse me, has anyone seen Mr. Kawashima leave his position during the ceremony?" ”

"Oh, I know that, I'm sure he said he's going to the bathroom." The short, bald man replied.

Mori Kogoro nodded and asked again, "Who hasn't seen anyone leave their seats yet?" ”

The young man with sunglasses thought about it, shook his head and said, "How can you remember that kind of thing!" ”

Hearing this, Mori Kogoro asked again, "So, what if Mr. Kawashima once offended someone?" ”

The short, bald man said, "I can't talk about offending, but the happiest person after Mr. Kawashima's death is Mr. Shimizu, who is also a candidate for the village chief election." ”

"What do you say!" Shimizu Masato on the side was furious when he heard this, and then pointed at the short bald man and said, "You yourself are not the same, Chief Heiyan Village!" ”

The young woman scoffed, "Yes, that's right, if someone hadn't arranged Mr. Kawashima's ticket clerk as his own ticket clerk, then my father would have been elected a long time ago." ”

"What!" Shimizu Masato looked at the village chief of Kuroiwa and his daughter with an angry face.

"Alright, calm down!" Seeing this, Mori Kogoro hurriedly stepped forward to appease.

Conan, who was on the side, looked at the corpse next to the piano and said to himself, "But why did the prisoner carry the corpse here?" ”

"Needless to say, of course the prisoner wants to attribute this murder to the curse of this piano." Mori Kogoro replied, and then asked, "By the way, when did you put this piano here?" ”

The frightened middle-aged man with glasses had recovered at this moment, and after listening to the question, he immediately replied: "It was donated by Mr. Aso about fifteen years ago, and it has been here ever since." ”

"Oh? That Mr. Aso! ”

The middle-aged man with glasses said, "Yes, his name is also engraved on the cover of the keyboard." ”

Hearing this, Mori Kogoro hurriedly stepped forward and closed the keyboard, but saw a note placed there, picked it up, and said to himself, "This is a sheet music!" Then he said strangely: "It's strange, when I look at it during the day, I obviously don't have this thing!" ”

Hearing the score, a middle-aged man with straight hair screamed in horror and ran out.

Seeing this, Mori Kogoro couldn't help asking, "Who is that person?" ”

"He's Mr. Nishimoto, and he's been quite powerful before, and he's invested a lot of money in wine, women, and gambling. But three years ago, after the death of the previous village chief, I heard that I was afraid of something, so I rarely went out" The middle-aged man with glasses said and looked at the village chief of Heiyan and said, "By the way, the village chief and he should be childhood playmates!" ”
