154 Moonlight, Second Movement
"What! That is to say......"
When Takato and others told the truth about Asai Narumi to Mori Kogoro, Kogoro couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, unable to calm the shock in his heart for a long time.
Subsequently, when Kogoro finally sorted out the ins and outs of the matter in his mind, Kogoro couldn't help but look at Asai Narumi on the side, and asked in surprise:
"So, this strange letter of entrustment and that phone call are actually Miss Chengshi......"
"Yes, yes......"
Slightly apologetic, Asai Narumi bowed slightly to Kogoro and said:
"I'm so sorry......"
"Nope! Miss Chengshi, you don't need to apologize! It's the scum who killed your father who should pay the price! ”
However, before Asai Narumi finished telling the truth, Kogoro stepped forward and grabbed Asai Narumi's hand, revealing a neat and chic expression, and said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, for those guys who ruined your family, my detective Maori Kogoro will definitely not tolerate it, and I will definitely seek justice for you!"
Seeing this, watching Kogoro's attitude change so quickly, Takato and Conan couldn't help but glance at Kogoro, and at the same time they were a little worried that he was acting so actively now, would he mess things up, but if he didn't tell him, he was worried that he would help......
Forget it, I still have to believe in the literacy of this former criminal policeman in this kind of thing, at least in this kind of major right and wrong, Kogoro's sense of justice is trustworthy.
Thinking like this, Takato stepped forward at this time and interrupted Kogoro, who was paying tribute to Asai Narumi-
"In short, the current situation is not optimistic. Although we now know who the sender of this letter of entrustment, which seems to be announcing the imminent serial killings, it does not help the current events in the slightest, after all, the sender's actions have been stopped......"
Gao Yuan was very helpless and said so.
"Hmm...... ...... according to what you say."
In this regard, Kogoro also began to analyze it with a serious expression, and then as if he thought of something, he suddenly knocked on the palm of his other hand with a fist, and said as if he had already known the truth:
"Can't be wrong! Ken Nishimoto committed suicide! ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Kogoro say so firmly, Takato and Conan were both shocked and puzzled, while Jinguji Reito was slightly looking forward to it and wanted to hear Kogoro's explanation.
So, taking care of himself, even if no one has asked about it, Kogoro explained proudly:
"Humph! I don't think you noticed that Mr. Nishimoto, who is so tall and extremely thin, I think that if I am not mistaken, Nishimoto must be a true addict.
"Today, the reason why he died in the piano room of the activity center should be because he was addicted to the puja during the ceremony, so in order to hide people's eyes, he had to go out and find a place to take illegal drugs, so he chose to hide in the piano room. It's just that he probably couldn't stand it anymore and was mentally tortured, so he accidentally took an overdose of illegal drugs! And it was this overdose of illegal drugs that killed him, so theoretically speaking, Ken Nishimoto was ......"
"But...... What about containers for illegal drugs? ”
Before Kogoro could finish speaking, Takato raised an objection in a loud voice:
"If Mr. Nishimoto died as a result of an overdose of illegal drugs in the piano room, then what did he use to put illegal drugs? Where did the container with the illegal drugs go after Mr. Nishimoto's death? ”
"Forehead ......"
Faced with the question raised by Gao Yuan, Xiao Golang suddenly felt speechless, and his face was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to continue speaking-
"In short, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong that this incident must be related to the smuggling of illegal drugs on the island, then we only need to investigate in depth the black rock and that Kawashima, who was engaged in the smuggling of illegal drugs before, and we will definitely find the truth about Nishimoto's death!"
Immediately, Kogoro couldn't help but change his words and led the topic to Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Hideo Kawashima.
"But for now, let's go to the piano room and investigate it carefully, right? I think a closer look into the opening of that piano will reveal a little...... Yes! It hurts! ”
Just as Conan was muttering and analyzing, Kogoro, who looked displeased, suddenly punched Conan on the head, and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Don't interject at such a time, little ones! Give me back! ”
"Hmm......"
In this regard, Conan covered his head a little depressedly, and after glancing at Kogoro a little, he hid behind Asai Narumi with a helpless expression-
"Then again, does that piano really have an opening? After all, it was what they used to transport illegal drugs more than ten years ago, and since Keiji Aso's death, this piano has lost its usefulness, right? ”
Kogoro asked suspiciously.
"Well...... this"
Hearing this question, Jinguji Reito couldn't help but feel that what Kogoro said was reasonable, but Takato said:
"That opening should still exist! And I think that person should at least know the secret of the piano! ”
"Who are you talking about?"
In the face of Takato's sudden words, this made Kogoro and Jinguji a little puzzled, and they didn't know who the person Takato mentioned was-
"It's the secretary of the current village head, Kazuaki Hirata!"
Gao Yuan said bluntly:
"Don't you think that Kazuaki Hirata's reaction to the curse of the piano is too abnormal?"
With the memory of the original work, Gao Yuan said with some certainty-
After all, if I'm not mistaken, although the original work didn't say whether the other four were still smuggling illegal drugs in the open sea from twelve years ago and after Keiji Aso's death, the plot still pointed out at the end that in addition to those four people, Kazuaki Hirata, the secretary of the current village head, has been using the opening of the piano to trade illegal drugs with Hideo Kawashima recently.
Moreover, according to the original plot, after the first death on the island, the dark shadow who secretly appeared in the community center at night was actually Kazuaki Hirata, who was looking for an opportunity to take away the illegal drugs hidden in the piano opening that no one had found before the police landed on the island.
....If you analyze it this way, the person who jumped into the sea just now may be Kazuaki Hirata......
"He deliberately made a point of talking about the 'cursed piano,' and when we first entered the piano room to touch the piano, he repeatedly emphasized this point and tried everything possible to stop our behavior...... Don't you think he's acting like he's hiding something? ”
Gao Yuan continued.
And after listening to Takato's words, Asai Narumi couldn't help but think:
That seems to be true...... The legend of the piano curse on the island came from after the death of Isamu Kameyama two years ago, and the first person to find out about Isamu Kameyama's death and began to spread the piano curse was none other than the secretary Kazuaki Hirata......"
"What! So to speak! ”
In this regard, Kogoro also realized the problem-
"It's possible that he was deliberately spreading rumors about the 'cursed piano' so that the people of the island would not dare to approach it...... That way, no one will notice an opening in the piano......"
Jinguji Lingren also understood what Gao Yuan meant, and then hurriedly said:
"In that case, let's go and see the piano, and you'll know the truth of the matter after seeing it. And, as for Ken Nishimoto's death, aren't we also about to investigate the scene carefully? ”
In this regard, everyone agreed, but Kogoro reminded him a little badly when he saw this:
"Well...... Having said that, I'm afraid it's hard to ...... that the scene has been ruined by the old policeman who is a complete layman."
Before he finished speaking, at this time, a piano sound, but at this time, from a distance-
And that tune is the second movement of "Moonlight"!
Stay away from Conan.
