Since the old policeman from Lunaris Island arrived at the community center where the incident occurred, the villagers who had been here to participate in the festival of the former village chief have all dispersed.

And in this regard, Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan didn't need to stay at the scene, so they walked on the way back to the hotel-

"Really, this commission is really inexplicable. I haven't even figured out what the sender is, but this kind of thing has happened, and this island is too strange! ”

Along the way, Kogoro muttered and complained, seemingly deeply depressed about his decision to come to the island this time:

"And what kind of mess is this......

Saying this, Kogoro took the letter of entrustment out of his pocket and muttered impatiently:

"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Lunaris Island...... Kei Aso......"

"Don't talk about Dad!"

At this time, listening to Xiao Goro read the content of the entrustment letter, Xiao Lan on the side seemed to be a little afraid, shuddered, and couldn't help but say:

"This letter always sounds a little hairy now...... Otherwise, let's get out of this island quickly......"

Probably because the death of Ken Nishimoto tonight was too weird, Xiaolan, who was looking forward to having a good time on the island, began to worry.

"Hmmm......"

And looking at Xiaolan's performance like this, Xiao Goro also replied helplessly:

"I didn't say it earlier, I don't think there's anything fun going to be on this isolated island. Moreover, I shouldn't have paid attention to this inexplicable ...... in the first place"

As he spoke, Kogoro looked at the letter pasted from the words cut out of newspapers and magazines again, and seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became ugly-

"'The Shadow Disappears'...... Shadows are only created when they are illuminated...... And this island ...... Light? "Moonlight"! ”

Stunned, Kogoro, who was just feeling depressed, suddenly became panicked at this moment-

"Aso, the famous pianist who set himself on fire at home twelve years ago, played this piece in the midst of the raging fire......

Two years ago, the former village chief Isamu Kameyama, who died of a heart attack, played the same Beethoven's "Moonlight" before he died......

"And the reappearance of this tune happens to be someone's death! Could it be that this means that the death will happen again? ”

Clenching the letter paper in his hand, Kogoro stared at the words on it with a very serious expression, feeling a dangerous sense of urgency-

"That's right, Dad......"

And at this time, hearing Xiao Goro's muttering, Xiao Lan was also aware of the problem, and reminded emphatically -

"There is also a sentence in the letter, 'Beginning to disappear'......"

Hearing this, Kogoro suddenly looked at the sentence at the end of the letter, and then couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock:

Is it a hint...... This murder is just about to begin! ”

Almost yelling, Kogoro was in a cold sweat on his face, and he was very angry in his heart, grabbing the letter paper in his hand, only to feel that the current situation might be seriously unexpected-

"Damn! It turns out that this letter is a challenge letter from the murderer to my famous detective Kogoro Mori! ”

As he spoke, Kogoro was stunned, and then turned around and ran in the direction of the community center where he had left before-

"Okay, Xiaolan, you go to the hotel first, I'm going to the community center where the piano is placed now!"

"Huh? What are you doing at the activity center? ”

Seeing this, Xiaolan asked with a surprised expression.

"All three incidents so far have taken place at the piano, so the chances of another killing there are quite ......"

After saying this, Kogoro had already run a considerable distance.

In this regard, Xiaolan couldn't help but hurriedly say:

"Wait a minute...... The key to the hotel room ......"

I want to tell Xiao Gorou that the key to the hotel room is still on Xiao Goro's body, Xiao Lan, seeing that Xiao Goro has run away, so there is no way, Xiao Lan can only follow with courage......

……

"Are you crazy?"

Just when Kogoro came to the piano room of the community activity center, the old policeman who was laying the floor in this piano room and was preparing to be on duty all night looked at the return here Kogoro couldn't help but say helplessly:

"What do you say about staying with these four people for one night, and the truth will be revealed? Even my daughter brought ......"

"Really, didn't I tell you not to come along?"

In this regard, Xiao Wulang looked at Xiao Lan who followed and said helplessly.

"But...... The keys to the inn ......"

Hearing Xiao Goro's inquiry, Xiao Lan could only say so helplessly.

At the same time, when he saw that in the piano room, Ken Nishimoto's body had been removed from the piano at this moment, and moved to the open space on the side, and after being covered with a white cloth, Kogoro couldn't help but angrily questioned the old policeman:

"Also, who guy moved the corpse casually!"

"Ah, it's me."

In this regard, the old policeman on the side said very calmly:

"The original state of death, even the Bodhisattva would be unbearable when he saw it."

Saying this, the old policeman with gray hair and reading glasses looked at the corpse covered with a white cloth in front of him, folded his hands, and made a Buddhist salute, as if he was reverently chanting "Amitabha".

Seeing this, Kogoro on the side had no choice but to show an embarrassed expression on his face, and said to the old policeman:

"It's really nerve-wracking, the scene hasn't been officially searched......"

Saying this, Kogoro began to look around the scene somewhat casually, and then when Kogoro's eyes looked at the piano, he suddenly found that the sheet music placed on the piano was not there, and then Kogoro couldn't help but be shocked-

"Where's that sheet music? That's an important clue to who did the good thing! ”

Looking a little angry, Kogoro only felt that this time things had become more tricky.

However, for Kogoro's excited reaction, the old policeman who finished reciting the Buddha's name on the side also looked calm and began to look for it in his pocket-

"This ...... It's me......"

The old policeman said, took the sheet music out of his pocket, put it in front of Kogoro, and said calmly:

"I'm afraid I'll lose it, so I'm ......"

In this regard, watching the old policeman successively commit the taboo of moving the corpse, destroying the scene, and taking away the evidence at the scene of the eucalyptus, in the face of the only policeman on the island who is old, out of the principle of respecting the elderly, Kogoro can only suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction in his heart, and complain angrily "This dead old man", and can only reluctantly take the score handed by the old policeman -

"Huh?"

At this time, when Xiao Goro took over the score, Xiao Lan on the side stepped forward to take a look, and then couldn't help but say unexpectedly:

"Isn't this the score for Moonlight?"

"What? This turned out to be the score of "Moonlight"! ”

Hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help but ask with a shocked expression.

"Well...... Listen......"

As he spoke, Xiaolan took the sheet music, put it on the music stand on the piano, and then sat down on the chair in front of the piano and began to play—

"Live piano ...... Well...... Forget it......"

Kogoro, who was thinking so much in his heart, saw his daughter and used the piano on the scene to play the score.

Kogoro, who wanted to stop him, looked at the old policeman on the side, thinking that the scene had been destroyed like this anyway, so it could only be indifferent.

So, Kogoro had to listen to Xiaolan play it first to confirm whether this score was really the piano sonata of Beethoven's "Moonlight".

Then, with the beautiful melody at the beginning of the moment, it was cold, and several jumbled syllables sounded one after another, which were not a tune at all—

"Hey, if you can't play, don't play!"

Helpless, Kogoro couldn't help but sigh.

"Not really!"

Hearing Xiao Goro's question, Xiao Lan also helplessly pointed to the music score, and explained a little strangely:

"It's the fourth line of the score that is written strangely......"

"The fourth line?"

Hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help but lean in, looked at the content of this score, and then immediately realized something, and said with some surprise:

"Maybe this score is an important clue left by Mr. Nishimoto before his temporary stay! In this case, there is a high probability that the murderer will return to the scene to retrieve the physical evidence......"

Looking nervous, Kogoro said.

However, at this moment, when Kogoro's eyes were taken away from the score and his head was gradually raised, Kogoro's keen intuition made Kogoro suddenly see that outside the window of this room, there was a figure peeping towards this side of the room-

"Who's where!"

Frightened and resolute, Kogoro shouted out the window......
