Chapter 523: The island is not big, and there are a lot of
Edogawa Conan nodded when he heard this, and he said loudly:
"The murderer's method of doing the crime is not difficult, there is no sound for a few minutes at the beginning of this tape, and the murderer should take advantage of this time difference to commit the crime, and only those who participate in the ritual can commit the crime."
"Well, the back door and windows are locked and there are no signs of picking, and we're crouching at the door, so there's no way the killer can leave the hall." Fujiwara Yu agrees with Kudo's idea, and it is indeed the most likely at this stage.
It's just that he thinks a little more, and he always feels that Asai Narumi is not simple, just like she took the initiative to reveal the autopsy in front of them, and took the initiative to help the autopsy after the eucalyptus happened...... In particular, the seawater stained with the cuffs seemed to be deliberately contaminated, so that I could not distinguish whether it was stained during eucalyptus or during the autopsy.
As a detective, Mori Kogoro also wanted to show a little of his ability in front of these people, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who finally saw him:
"Chief Kuroiwa, can you ask when this piano was placed here?"
"This piano was donated to Moonshadow Island by Mr. Keiji Aso fifteen years ago, and he hopes that more islanders will be born on the island who love music and love pianos, oh yes, the piano also has Mr. Aso's exclusive signature on the lid, which he specially asked the craftsman to help carve it." Squinting and pushing his glasses, he took the initiative to explain.
He also did not forget to introduce himself at the end, telling Mori Kogoro and others that he was the village chief's secretary Kazuaki Hirata.
"Did Mr. Aso donate it?" Mori Kogoro didn't expect this to be related to Keiji Aso, who had been dead for many years, he walked to the piano and put down the piano lid that had been lifted, and before he could look at the signature on it, he found a sheet of music in it, he picked it up suspiciously, looked at Takaji Sosuke and asked, "Officer Takaji, when we came here during the day, we shouldn't have this sheet music, right?"
"It's true, no, the murderer should have put it up." Fujiwara Yu didn't care about the content of the score, because he didn't need to read it to know that the score had something to do with the "Moonlight Sonata", so he turned to look at the surrounding islanders, and sure enough, he found that their faces gradually turned pale after hearing these words, and even mixed with a little horror.
What kind of secrets are hidden behind this score? Why do they show such expressions, they can't really be feudal and superstitious enough to believe that there is some boring curse in this world.
If anyone had the most exaggerated reaction, it was the thin man with a hairstyle like a sea urchin, who staggered back two steps, and then screamed in front of everyone, as if there was a man-eating monster here, which scared his facial features to the point of flying.
Maori Kogoro looked at the thin man who ran away speechlessly, turned his head sideways and asked:
"Hey, who's that guy who ran out just now?"
"He is Mr. Ken Nishimoto, he used to be quite powerful on the island, but after the death of the previous village chief two years ago, he liked to lock himself in the house and rarely went out, and if it weren't for the death of the former village chief, he probably wouldn't have appeared this time." Kazuaki Hirata explained.
The death of Isamu Kameyama caused Ken Nishimoto to rarely go out and go crazy when he saw the score of "Moonlight Sonata"? Fujiwara Yoshi bowed his head and glanced at Edogawa Conan, it seems that the death of the previous village chief is also a key, is his death related to Keiji Aso, who died twelve years ago?
Fujiwara Yu rubbed his hair with a headache, there were a lot of things to figure out, but now there is suddenly another one, this island is not big, but there are a lot of things.
"Daddy! I'll bring in, I'll bring the police!"
Mao Lilan, who had disappeared for a long time, stood panting at the door, and beside her stood a sweaty police officer who was in the same posture as her...... Well, it's a small island that is rarely visited by outsiders, and it's nice to have a policeman.
The silver-haired elderly policeman looked around suspiciously, and finally locked on the eldest Mori Kogoro, who stepped forward and pushed his glasses, which looked like the bottom of a soy sauce bottle, and asked in a loud voice:
"May I ask who called me, and what happened?"
"I called you here, and there was a death here."
Maori Kogoro suddenly felt that the police in front of him were unreliable, but fortunately there was Takaji Sosuke this time, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"Fate?" The old policeman showed a surprised expression, he looked sideways at the body facing the sky, and after staring at Maori Kogoro for a long time, just when the other party had an expectant expression, he directly chose to pour a basin of cold water: "So who are you?"
Maori Kogoro stumbled and almost fell, and you didn't find out who I was after thinking for so long.
Edogawa Conan covered his mouth and secretly had fun, if he hadn't hid behind Sosuke Takaji, he would have been discovered by Maori Kogoro and would definitely not have been able to avoid a fat beating.
Fujiwara Yu looked helplessly at the old policeman in front of him, and introduced himself in a loud voice:
"Hello senior, I'm Sosuke Takaji of the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Section, the victim's preliminary autopsy has been completed, and he is currently inclined to drown, so I asked my senior to come here just to ask if there is a place to keep the body?"
"Oh! You're the famous cop, I've heard of you!" The old policeman said happily, and then spread his hands and said that there were no conditions on Moonshadow Island to preserve the body, and all he could do was to cover him with a white cloth and wait for Tokyo to notify the Tokyo authorities tomorrow to recover the body.
With the help of the islanders, he reluctantly found a two-meter-long white cloth to cover Kawashima Hide's body, Fujiwara Yo looked at the night outside, and proposed:
"Let's wait until tomorrow to record the confession?"
"Well, that's all I can do." Mori Kogoro glanced at the body placed in the corner, and sighed, "Hey, we can only spend the night here tonight, then, old gentleman, can you help us prepare a few sets of futons?"
"No problem, no problem, but do you really want to live here? If you sleep with a corpse for one night, you may get a bad smell on your body." The old policeman pushed his glasses and reminded.
Fujiwara Yo showed a disgusted expression when he heard this, he didn't like the smell of corpses very much, but the murderer was likely to return, so it was necessary to stay here. He took out his phone and sent a LINE message to White, who was spying on Sotaro Goji, to tell him that he couldn't leave here anytime soon.
[I don't want to work overtime today]: I have a fatal accident, and I will call directly if there is a situation.
[Tricolor dango hite]: Received.
White stared at the content on the screen of his phone, he squinted his eyes at Sotaro Goji, who was drinking sake in an open-air tavern, and couldn't help but whisper in his heart: It is worthy of Mr. Krell, he really lives everywhere he goes.
Fujiwara Yo, who shoved his phone back into his pocket, couldn't help but sneeze, he raised his eyebrows, could it be that Akemi was thinking about him?
