145 Why are they still dead?
Frightened, Gao Yuan, who thought that everything had settled, turned his head reluctantly and looked at the community room behind him, and now, where everyone was standing, facing the room with the piano-
At this moment, looking into the room through the window of the community room, faintly, although the lights are not turned on, you can vaguely see that on the piano in the activity room, a figure is collapsing!
In this regard, not only Takato, but also Jinguji Reito and Asai Narumi couldn't help but look surprised and felt strange after noticing the strange appearance in the piano room.
At the same time, even Conan, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly realized that something was wrong when he heard the "Moonlight Sonata" sound, and got up and ran towards the piano room-
The entire community room is constructed with only two doors to enter and exit.
One is the front door of the activity room where Mori Kogoro and Ran are now, and the second is a side door on the right wall of the activity room.
At the same time, this side door of the activity room is connected to the room where the piano is placed in the activity room, and Conan's position at this time is just next to the wall where this side door is located.
Therefore, after realizing that something was wrong, although there was also a window on the wall on the side where Conan was located to see the situation in the room, he chose the most concise method and directly opened the door on the side wall, becoming the fastest person to enter this room!
However, on the other hand, although there is no direct entrance door directly behind the community room near the sea where Takato, Asai Narumi, and Jinguji Reito are located, but also due to the existence of the window, Takato first tried to push the window of the activity room subconsciously, wanting to see if he could simply enter through the window.
As a result, luckily, the windows on this side were not locked.
After pushing open the window, Gao Yuan took the brunt of the climb through the window into the piano room-
"Who is it?"
However, when Gao Yuan just climbed up the window, Conan, who had already entered the room, noticed the movement by the window, and because the room was not lit and it was almost pitch black, Conan subconsciously shouted towards the window.
At the same time, Gao Yuan immediately noticed the movement of a living person in the room, and found that the side door of the room was actually open, so he immediately shouted with a serious expression-
Therefore, in this way, Conan and Gao Yuan shouted at the same time at the same time.
Then, the two of them each heard each other's voices, and they breathed a sigh of relief, and then they didn't dwell too much on why Conan was here, and Gao Yuan instructed:
"Conan, turn on the lights!"
Conan also understood this, and hurriedly ran to the front door of the room, and groped for the light switch in the room with his memory.
Then, as the lights in the room turned on, the scene of the room was finally unobstructed.
I saw, shockingly, on the piano in the room, there was really a figure lying -
The man sat on the chair in front of the piano, his upper body toppling and pressing against the keys of the piano, his eyes wide open, and he was no longer alive.
As for the cause of this person's death......
"A small amount of fluid oozing from the mouth and nose, a symptom of suspected pulmonary edema...... It's kind of like a fatal case of diacetylmorphine overdose......"
At this time, Jinguji Lingren followed behind Gao Yuan, and also came to the scene, and after checking the death status of the deceased, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he muttered in his mouth.
- "Diacetylmorphine?" β
Hearing this familiar term and looking at the death of the person in front of him, Takato couldn't help but recall that time, when he pretended to be Miyano Shiho and encountered the train secret room on the Shinkansen to Shikoku Island......
In this regard, Asai Narumi remained outside, looking at the deceased in the room with a surprised expression, this is a middle-aged man with a slightly thin body and a hairstyle that is raised upwards.
- "It's Ken Nishimoto......"
With a strange look, Asai Narumi said the name of the deceased.
"Is that him?"
Hearing this, looking at the appearance of the deceased, Takato couldn't help but recall that when he first landed on Moon Shadow Island, when he and others were in the office on the island, this Ken Nishimoto was standing outside the door of the office and drinking.
And he, if you look at it from the original plot, he is also a person who is inseparable from the death of Keiji Aso twelve years ago, that is, he was also the target of Asai Narumi's revenge......
But......
Thinking so, Takato's gaze couldn't help but glance at Asai Narumi outside the house, and then without saying anything, he turned his gaze back-
No, Asai Narumi has been under his own attention, and there is no way to carry out revenge......
Just as he was thinking like this, at this moment, the main door of the room was also opened from the outsideβ
Led by Mori Kogoro, and a group of candidates for village chief such as Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who followed closely, had already broken down the door with a shocked face because of the sudden sound of the "Moonlight Sonata".
And when the people outside the door, after seeing the scene in the room at this moment, after looking at the tragic situation of Nishimoto Ken dying on the piano, everyone showed surprised expressions-
"It's too late. He's dead. β
Looking at the door of the room, after the villagers who were supposed to participate in the ritual gradually began to flock to the door, Gao Yuan shook his head at everyone and said so.
"What ......"
"How could it be ......?"
In the crowd, there was a lot of discussion, and the leaders of them, Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Hideo Kawashima, looked at the situation on the scene with a shocked face, and couldn't calm down for a long time-
"Xiaolan, report to the police station here, everyone else stays at the scene and is never allowed to leave!"
At this moment, Xiao Gorou reacted immediately, hurriedly made professional arrangements, and then walked into the room immediately, and Xiao Lan also responded quickly, hurriedly turned around and ran in the direction of the door-
"Miss Chengshi, please be in charge of the autopsy...... Others ......"
Looking at Asai Narumi outside the window, Kogoro said with a serious face, and then stepped forward and pushed away the Jinguji Reito who was already here:
"Don't go near here for irrelevant people! You don't understand this! β
It should have recognized that Jinguji Reito was a staff member of the village office in the morning, Kogoro said half to Jinguji Reito, and the other half, Kogoro scolded Takato.
In this regard, Jinguji Reito did not show any disgust, but made a look of being frightened by Kogoro, and came to the room far away from the deceased.
At the same time, after hearing Kogoro's words, Asai Narumi couldn't help but nod his head, went around the side door of the room, and began to perform an autopsy on the dead Ken Nishimoto.
At this moment, Conan looked at this somewhat chaotic scene, frowned deeply, and felt that his thoughts were very confused-
First of all, the "shadow disappears" mentioned in the letter that my uncle received last week, which can be understood as a metaphor for "surrounded by light", and that "light" deserves to be this Beethoven's "Moonlight"!
Twelve years ago, pianist Keiji Aso played this piece repeatedly when he was burned to death in his home.
Two years ago, the former village chief Isamu Kameyama, who died here, played this tune before he died.
Now, "Moonlight" is once again at the scene where there are dead people......
It can be seen that the letter is actually a prophecy that on the night of the full moon, there will be another murder on Moonshadow Island-
Originally, it was no problem to think like this, but after overhearing the words of Mr. Akechi and Dr. Sungsil, it felt that things were not so simple......
Damn, what the hell is going on?
Mr. Wise!
With a chaotic mind, Conan stood aside, looking at Gao Yuan, who was in the middle of the scene, with infinite thoughts in his heart, but he could only endure it without asking.
- "It's a curse on the piano!" β
At this time, looking at the "Moonlight Sonata" that was still ringing at the scene, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary Hirata Kazuaki showed endless fear on his face, and shouted in panic:
"This must be the cursed piano starting to do things again!"
Saying this, the villagers at the scene couldn't help but be frightened by these words, and some of them were too timid to continue to stay at the scene.
Hearing this, Kogoro looked around the scene and refuted solemnly:
"What a curse! Sling the bull! β
"But...... And no one is playing, how can there be a piano sound! β
With a trembling tone, Hirata Kazuaki pointed to the piano and shouted.
"Oh, it's because of the tape recorder......"
At this time, looking at the performance of Hirata Kazuaki with such a big reaction, Takato, who was already wearing gloves, took out the tape recorder that he had already discovered from under the piano with a helpless face-
"You see, the sound is coming out of this tape recorder, so it's not a curse or a ghost or anything like that."
Although it is clear that the reason why Kazuaki Hirata emphasizes the piano curse so much is that he wants to keep people away from this piano-
Because, this piano is related to the illegal drug trade on the island.
But at this moment, Gao Yuan can't directly expose it-
Things were so unexpected, it was clear that Asai Narumi was already under his nose, but the murder still happened......
And, again, in this piano room!
You know, you just now, but it's just outside this room!
Even if you don't always pay attention to the situation in the room, if the murderer is killing in this room, how can you not notice yourself outside the room?
It's weird!
Moreover, the cause of Ken Nishimoto's death is likely to be related to illegal drugs, so this matter will inevitably involve the illegal drug trade on the island, and at present, Jingu Temple Reito did not take the initiative to reveal his identity when facing Kogoro, obviously he doesn't want to directly do it against this group of forces on the island now, what considerations may he have.
Therefore, he naturally can't just break this point, so he can only stand still......
"That's right! Someone used a tape recorder to create such a trick, which means that this person was killed! β
γ
Following Takato's words, Kogoro turned his head to look at the crowd at the door, and couldn't help but say seriously.
"Hey!"
In this regard, in the crowd, Murasawa Monday, who was wearing sunglasses and a knitted hat, couldn't help but step forward and said impatiently:
"Don't talk about these things...... What have you two been talking nonsense about since just now? Who are you? β
Saying this, Murasawa couldn't help but look at Takato in front of him and asked Kogoro.
"Me?"
In this regard, Kogoro couldn't help but put his hands in his pockets and said with a serious face:
"I'm a detective from Tokyo...... Mori Kogoro! β
"Also a detective, my name is Wise Gaoyuan."
Hearing Kogoro's imposing self-introduction, Takato couldn't help but add.
"Maori? Oh, it's the astronaut......"
"Not really! It's the main character of that detective......"
"That protagonist is called Wise......"
"Wisdom isn't the one on the side......"
"And who the hell is he......"
After listening to the two of them introduce themselves, the elderly villagers in the crowd began to whisper, as if they had never heard of the name of Mori Kogoro, and what they were talking about was somewhat out of touch with the current era.
In this regard, Gao Yuan didn't care, but after Kogoro heard the discussion of the crowd, he looked embarrassed, and he didn't want to explain too much to them.
As for the leaders of the village, such as Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Hideo Kawashima and others, they seem to know Kogoro's name, so they don't have much objection to Kogoro's behavior of controlling the scene.
And soon, on Asai Narumi's side, the autopsy has been preliminarily completed-
"Based on the corpse spots and the stiffness of the corpse, the time of death should have been half an hour to an hour ago...... A small amount of fluid oozing from the mouth and nose is suspected to be ......"
Asai Narumi said truthfully, but when he was about to talk about the cause of death, Asai Narumi saw Gao Yuanzheng looking at him with a serious face, shaking his head slightly.
So, Asai Narumi paused slightly, and his words were a little stumbling, as if he had rethought it, before he said:
"It is possible that death was due to suffocation due to nasal bleeding, but sudden death due to myocardial infarction cannot be ruled out, so the details will not be determined until after dissection."
"Is that so......"
After listening to Asai Narumi's explanation, Kogoro couldn't help but ponder, and then felt a little puzzled, looking at Takato who arrived at the scene much earlier than himself and others, as well as Jinguji Reito and Conan, and asked with a slight frown:
"Speaking of which, what were you guys doing before? Where did you come from? Why did you come to this eucalyptus site so quickly? β
"Some of them wanted to discuss with Dr. Asai, so when the ceremony was held, I was in the corridor outside this door, waiting for the ceremony to end."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but explain:
"Then, I happened to meet Dr. Asai who came out in the middle of the ceremony, so I went out through the side door of the piano room with Dr. Asai and went to the beach behind the activity room and chatted for a while."
Even if he was telling the truth, Takato explained the general situation, and Asai Narumi also nodded in affirmation.
"As for ......"
As he spoke, he looked at Lingren Jinguji on the side-
"Oh, I happened to be walking by the sea, and I met Mr. Akechi and Dr. Sung Si chatting behind the community room, so we just happened to bump into each other, so we chatted a few words together."
Jinguji Reito explained.
"Really......"
In this regard, Kogoro believes that he will not lie out of his understanding of Takato, but in the face of Jinguji Reito's words, he shows suspicion-
"You can't just kill the dead here and leave through the side door of this place, and then pretend to talk to them by chance, right?"
Kogoro took a few steps closer to Jinguji Reito and asked solemnly:
"Because there are only two entrances and exits here, and Xiaolan and I have been staying at the main entrance before, so if the murderer wants to escape after killing the deceased, he can only go through the side door. And you just happened to be at such a time......"
"That uncle shouldn't be lying!"
Then, just as Kogoro was questioning like this, Conan couldn't help but speak at this time.
"Huh?"
Hearing Conan's voice, Kogoro couldn't help but look down at Conan who would interject with disgust, looking a little displeased.
"Because, I wanted to go in through the side door to go to the bathroom...... As a result, I happened to hear Brother Akechi chatting with Sister Chengshi at the beach, so I stayed there curiously and accidentally eavesdropped......"
Saying this, Conan scratched his head a little embarrassed.
And listening to this, it made Asai Narumi's expression change slightly-
This kid ......
He heard his own conversation with Wise Takato, that is, he heard Wise Takato's reasoning......
What if he spoke what he heard in front of so many people?
With such worries, Asai Narumi's face was a little ugly.
"So what?"
Displeased, looking at Conan's appearance, Kogoro asked with a frown.
"That's why I've been at the side door! At that time, no one came out of the side door at all! Also, I heard that the uncle came from the other side, so he couldn't be a murderer from the room! β
Conan smiled innocently and said playfully.
"Humph......"
In this regard, after listening to Conan's words, Kogoro felt that what he said was also a little reasonable, so he didn't say anything.
But, soon, Kogoro immediately realized a problem -
"Wait a minute! That is to say......"
