Chapter 38: Video of the Murderer's Last Words

In order to verify Lin Si's testimony, the police immediately went to the piano room of the activity center to inspect the piano. As Lin Si said, they found a hidden compartment under the piano, and when they opened it, they found packets of white powder hidden inside.

Hayashi Shi's words have been confirmed, and it seems that what Murasawa said on Monday was right, Kawashima, Kuroiwa, Hirata, and Nishimoto were secretly carrying out drug trafficking operations. Higashi XZ is in the piano, and Keiji Aso is bound to be an insider.

However, the discovery of drugs did not reveal the truth, but only made things more confusing.

"If they're all accomplices, what the hell is going on with serial killings?" The Twilight Police Department really can't figure it out, could it be that this is an accomplice killing each other? Why?

Conan suddenly cried out, "I see! ”

Everyone looked at him in unison, and Lin Si said secretly: A new generation of understanding kings has been born!

It's still the old routine, Conan was beaten up by Kogoro, and then reluctantly asked under Kogoro's threat: "I want to ask...... Who were the eyewitnesses to Kei Aso's case twelve years ago? Since everyone knows about him playing the piano in the flames, it means that someone saw that picture, right? ”

The old inspector nodded and replied, "That's right, this matter was seen by Kawashima, Kuroiwa, Hirata, Nishimoto, and the former village head, Mr. Kameyama. ”

Lin Si pretended to react just now, and looked surprised, "This is too strange, isn't it?" ”

"What's weird?" Kogoro was puzzled.

Lin Si explained: "Four of these five people have died, and one person is suspected of being a murderer and his whereabouts are unknown. If it's just a coincidence, it's a bit too coincidental. ”

After thinking about it, everyone also agreed with Lin Si's statement, today's serial murder case may be a follow-up to that incident back then. It was Ken Nishimoto who suddenly turned back and killed all his partners for some reason.

What was his reason for doing so?

Conan thought about it, but didn't dare to say it. At this time, Lin Si opened his mouth and said his speculation, "Do you remember what Xiben's house found? There are posters of Keiji Aso and out-of-print tapes, which shows that he is a die-hard fan of Keiji Aso. ”

Mori Kogoro said to himself with a solemn face: "Sure enough, are the fans still avenging their idols?" ”

"It is estimated that Nishimoto may not have participated in the killing of Keiji Aso back then, and he only found out about it after the fact. Although he cooperated with his accomplice on the surface, he actually hated his accomplice in his heart......"

Although this reason can be explained, no one can guarantee whether it is the truth or not.

I'm afraid that the truth will only be revealed until Nishimoto is caught.

……

In fact, the police did not stop searching Nishimoto all day, but Nishimoto seemed to have evaporated from the world and completely lost his trace on the island.

Naturally, it was impossible for anyone to find Xiben, because Xiben was already dead, and his body was sealed into the scroll by Lin Si. However, Lin Si didn't plan to hide Nishimoto's body all the time, so he found an opportunity to quietly put the body somewhere in the afternoon.

"Dad, leave the search to the police, let's go back to Tokyo, shall we?" Xiaolan said to her father, "Tomorrow is Monday, and I still have to go to school." ”

Conan was very depressed, he actually wanted to stay and see the final result, but he couldn't guarantee that there would be a result if he stayed, maybe in the end he would just wait for nothing. Besides, even if he said he wanted to stay, it is estimated that no one would listen to him.

Children have no human rights......

Lin Si opened his mouth to echo Xiaolan's words, "We really should go back, my second uncle called last night to persuade me to study hard, if I don't go to school tomorrow, it is estimated that I will be counted out again." ”

When Kogoro heard this, he said, "In that case, I'll go and see if there is a boat going to Tokyo." ”

Just as Kogoro said this, Detective Takagi suddenly ran to the activity center and shouted, "Mr. Mori! Got it! Got it! Hearing this, the corners of Lin Si's mouth raised slightly.

"What? Found a boat to Tokyo? "Maori Kogoro is happy, I don't need to inquire about it myself.

Hey? Strange, I haven't said it yet, how does he know I'm looking for a ship? Could it be that Takagi can read minds?

Takagi ran in front of everyone and was stunned, "Boat? No, no, I've found Ken Nishimoto! ”

"What? Got it? Where is he? Conan couldn't wait to ask, being able to wait until the truth came out before leaving, it was happier for Conan than a full meal.

Takagi replied, "He's in the woods, but it's just ......."

"Just what?" Kogoro looked puzzled.

"Well, you'll find out when you go and see......"

……

Lin Si and the others came to the woods together, and sure enough, they saw Ken Nishimoto with a hedgehog head, but he was already dead, and the police only found his body.

"What's going on? Who killed him? "Kogoro and Conan are both shocked by this, isn't he a murderer? Why was he himself killed? Xiaolan turned her head to the side and didn't dare to look

The Dusk Police Department replied, "He wasn't killed by someone else. This is the phone we found at the scene, leaning against a tree and recording the corpse, you can see for yourself. ”

The phone comes in a transparent sampling bag, so Kogoro can hold it without gloves.

The video was played, and Ken Nishimoto could be seen taking a few steps backwards after putting the phone away, and then taking out another phone to play music next to it. The music he played was the third movement of the Moonlight Song.

Twilight explained, "The phone that played music belonged to Secretary Hirata, and we only found the mobile phone of the village chief Kuroiwa at the scene of the fire, and it should be that Nishimoto took Hirata's mobile phone away after committing the murder. ”

In the picture, Nishimoto begins to talk to himself in front of the camera. "This is my suicide note to the police, and I killed them all."

This is - using the video as a suicide note? So he committed suicide?

Conan glanced at the corpse that was being examined not far away. I saw Ken Nishimoto facing the sky on his back, a knife in his chest, his hands near his chest, and some blood on his hands, which did look like suicide.

"Keiji Aso is a talented pianist who often performs overseas, so we used his piano to hide drugs and successfully evade customs inspection. Keiji Aso didn't dare to resist, but kept persuading us not to do it again, of course we didn't listen, until finally he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to call the police, so he was killed. ”

Ken Nishimoto's voice came from his phone, "I didn't know anything about the killing, and it was too late to know. You may think I'm pretending to be innocent, but that's the case, Keiji Aso is my idol, and I will never kill him. ”

Ken Nishimoto said that he held a grudge against his companion because of this, and finally decided to avenge his idol, and then killed the murderers one after another. "Then it's time to kill the last murderer, and that murderer is myself. I had a part in forcing Keiji Aso to assist in drug trafficking, and I indirectly killed him......"
