Chapter 434: Past Grievances Vanish

"The same way to die as Mr. Kawashima......" Moriran was not allowed to follow by Asai Narumi, and Moriran rested restlessly on the head of the bed, "Is it some kind of special poison?" ”

The police in Tokyo have arrived, and they have also taken away the village chief Kuroiwa, who is very likely to be involved in drugs, but in the midst of the heavy siege of the police, Kuroiwa Tatsuji still died.

"It's hard to say, it may be a special drug with a time-delaying effect, or it may be a long-term chronic poison......" Conan casually answered Maolilan's question, but his mind was thinking in another direction.

Three deceased, three dead, excluding Ken Nishimoto, who may not have been killed by him, the scene of the death of the two deceased is complicated, and the cause of death is still unclear...... To deduce the possible murderer from the technique, it is still too difficult in the face of so many unknown conditions.

For now, we should start with motivation.

Considering only the underlying logic of the incident, they already have a lot of information about this strange island.

First of all, the murderer is most likely the one who sent the commission to Uncle Maori and sent the letter.

This person invited Maori Kogoro to come to the island in the name of Keiji Aso, it's hard to say whether his purpose is to give the detective a war letter, or to hope that the truth of Keiji Aso's death will be revealed to the world, this person must be related to Keiji Aso.

In the letter, the client accurately pointed out that there would be shadows disappearing in the moonlight, which is completely consistent with the three deceased people who died one after another in the "Moonlight Sonata", and it is too unlikely to say that the sender is not an insider.

The reason why the word "again" is used in the letter, combined with the phrase "full moon night", and the three dead this time must also be related to Kameyama, who also died on the night of the full moon two years ago.

And the piano that Kameyama Village Chief played when he died, two years later, they found heroin at the bottom, and the village chief's secretary Kazuaki Hirata, who has been repeatedly emphasizing the "curse of the piano" and "can't touch the piano", is a drug-related person related to this thing......

What is the connection between these people, and what is their connection with Keiji Aso?

While thinking about it, Conan's peripheral vision noticed the old policeman who walked into the infirmary, opened the oxygen cylinder to inhale oxygen, and eased his breathing.

Because he ran all the way along the highest residential area on the island to the clinic at the foot of the mountain, the gray-haired old man with a beard was obviously unable to breathe, so before leaving, Asai Narumi kindly let him rest in the infirmary, saying that he could find a police escort to escort them.

Conan, whose desire to reason was unprecedentedly high, moved his steps to his side and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, you said before that you had been on the island for decades...... Were you on the island when Mr. Aso died more than ten years ago? ”

"When you say he set fire to his house? Yes. Through the oxygen mask, his voice was slightly muffled.

"Oh, then, did Mr. Aso really burn down his own house with his own hands? We only came to the island to investigate after receiving a commission related to him. Could it be that Mr. Keiji Aso, or his family, didn't really die in that fire, as Mr. Ken Nishimoto said? With the energy of a curious child, Conan pestered him and asked.

Mao Lilan, who originally wanted to stop Conan and tell him not to disturb the old man's rest, couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this question, and walked two steps closer, waiting for the old man's answer.

"Well, at least, that's what the eyewitnesses at the time said." The old policeman pushed the retro-shaped glasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing the color of memory, "That's really a big fire, it burns the sky red...... After the fire, we specially invited the police from Tokyo to investigate, and it was indeed detected from the bones at the scene that the DNA of the family was detected, and the Aso family of three died in the fire, which is absolutely certain. ”

"Eyewitness?" Conan blinked, catching the keyword, "Who are they?" ”

"Well, let me think about it......" Adjusting the position of the oxygen mask, the old man squinted and thought for a while, and slowly replied, "The former village chiefs, Kameyama, Kawashima, Kuroiwa Village Chief, and Nishimoto, are the four of them." ”

Conan's eyes widened.

Mao Lilan, who was listening to them on the side, also raised his hand to cover his mouth: "Doesn't that mean...... Are all the witnesses to the fire dead? ”

"yes, that's what it looks like." Touching his chin, the old policeman nodded suddenly, "The four of them, plus Aso, had a good relationship when they were young." Our island is not big, and their family conditions are relatively good, they have been playing together since they were children, and the five of them went to learn piano together. Later, Aso insisted on learning and became a well-known pianist, Nishimoto, the one who fell off the cliff before, he often went overseas to participate in his performances and cheer him on. ”

"Childhood friends...... Conan whispered, his mind spinning again.

The five of them all have a piano foundation, so when Kameyama died, the people on the island didn't seem to have any doubts about him playing "Moonlight".

Therefore, as soon as he saw the sheet music, he was shocked, and he panicked so much that he rushed out of the door and ran out in a panic......

Quickly flipped out the small notebook in which he had copied the live score, Conan stared at the strange fourth line of sheet music, thinking.

What are the code words......

————

"Yes, similar to Mr. Kawashima's death." Standing up straight and taking off the medical gloves in his hands, Asai Narumi lowered his gaze, stared at Kuroiwa Chenji, whose expression was frightened and inexplicable, and his face was full of pain, and he recounted flatly, "I can't give an explanation of the cause of death. As for the time of death...... You are all here, and I don't need to explain it. ”

"It's a real headache." Twilight Thirteen lifted her hat and let out the irritated heat above her head, "Looks like we'll have to wait until dawn to send them to a facility in Tokyo for special testing." ”

"After the incident in Kawashima, Kuroiwa returned to his residence accompanied by his family, and according to his daughter's testimony, he had no contact with anyone other than his family before we arrived." After not getting much sleep one night, and feeling nervous because of various incidents, Mori Kogoro's face was cloudy, "That is, he hasn't been in contact with anyone else for seven or eight hours." Could there be a lethal poison with such a delaying effect? ”

He is not without encounters with cases of using capsules or other wraps to delay the effect of poison.

But no matter which method is considered, this length of time is somewhat amazing.

If you go back seven or eight hours, all of the thirty or so residents who participated in the ritual were suspicious.

"I'm not sure...... "Asai Narumi blinked, remembering the enemy's terrifying posture before he died, and slowly added, "But if the symptoms are 'organ failure', 'weirdly colored body fluids coming out of the corners of the mouth and eyes', I've seen similar situations on the island before." ”

"Seen something like this?!" Twilight Thirteen and Mori Kogoro repeated in unison, their attention suddenly rising.

"Yes, two years ago, the death of the village chief Kameyama was finally confirmed to be a heart attack in the forensic laboratory in Tokyo, but his state at that time was similar to this." Asai nodded, thinking of everything that had happened after encountering the strange thieves today, and the corners of his mouth were a little enlightened and a little sad.

He didn't understand the way and state of death two years ago, he thought that his true gender and identity had caused an impact on Kameyama, and Kameyama already had a serious heart attack, so he didn't question the cause of death.

But sure enough, as early as that time, he had already inadvertently become a sinner, and embarking on the current path was only a continuation and inevitability of past grievances.

This is probably the real reason why the thieves contacted him......

"Can you use cognitive abilities before Asai Narumi?" Sitting on a sunny and warm surface hall, Hoshikawa Hui looked at the navigation on his mobile phone and said with some surprise, "Is the special impression space state of this island really caused by him alone?" ”

"It's hard to say." Grabbing an apple pulled down from the fruit tree in his hand, Tang Ze, who really had a sense of déjà vu, chewed the fruit in his mouth and shook his head, "The creation of this special space may not be related to him, but since he returned to the island two years ago and caused the death of Kameyama, this place should have slowly become like this." ”

"Kameyama, the former village chief? According to you, he was also one of the murderers of Keiji Aso, and it was from him that Narumi Asai learned part of the truth about the year. Akemi Miyano, who had traveled back and forth several times between the dimly lit real world and the sunny island of eternal daylight, stretched lazily as her biological clock was confused, "But wasn't Kameyama scared to death, it can't be called 'causing his death', right?" ”

"Ignoring the shadow of Narumi Asai, he may indeed have been scared to death." Tang Ze shook his head loudly, "But his shadow is strong enough to entrench itself in the local impression space......"

It's a bit of a P5S prison.,It's weird.。

Thinking of this, Tang Ze felt a subtle sense of foreboding in his heart.

I said this strange world.,It's almost there.,There's enough sewing stuff.,Don't just because you're stained with the edge of the P series.,You can sew everything you can sew in for me.,Don't you stop?!

“…… The truth of the matter is very likely to be that Asai Narumi, who learned the truth, awakened part of his cognitive abilities in great anger and grief, but because he didn't really enter the cognitive world, he didn't become a real personality mask. Tang Ze pointed to the fox window formed by the ten pillars, "However, this does not prevent him from using this power unconsciously. His power killed Kameyama's shadow, and Kameyama naturally had a 'heart attack'. ”

Don't say it, don't say it, it's really a bit of a night and a moon.

Thinking of the frequent complaints he brought up when he first came to this world, Tang Ze grimaced.

People, you still can't be too iron-toothed, and it's not okay to insert flags indiscriminately.

If Asai Narumi's mask power is really paralyzing people's hearts......

Hey, it's Kira, but it's Kira.

It's not this side that wants to be linked, it's crooked, it's crooked!

Beware of the real sewing piece, Conan has also awakened a strange attribute, to play the peak wit battle with you, and the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!

————

At this time, the only designated battle detective is still inquiring about the interpersonal relationship on Moon Shadow Island.

"That's it......" After inquiring about the interpersonal relationships of several main characters, Conan touched his chin and began to sift through the candidates in his mind.

"Done asking, little detective brother?" The old policeman stood up and took off the oxygen mask on his face, "There's nothing else to ask, right?" ”

"Ah, no, no." Conan hurriedly waved his hand.

"I'm really sorry, I'm still pulling you to ask questions so late, disturbing your rest, right?" Mao Lilan, who listened to the gossip for a long time, finally reacted, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and this side was located on the sea, so he was afraid that in another half an hour and an hour, the sky would be bright, so he quickly bowed to the old policeman to apologize.

"Oops, it's okay, it's okay." He waved his hand indifferently, "There are so many things going on tonight, I can't sleep." It feels good to talk to you about the past on the island, and I feel like I haven't been in vain for so many years. Ask the others, you really can't ask. ”

That's the big truth.

Although this kind-faced old man, as a policeman, I am afraid that he will not play any role in protecting law and order, but considering that several of the deceased are in their forties, it is really difficult to hear the secrets of their good childhood relationship without asking the elderly.

"There's nothing to ask, I'll just get busy." Rubbing his back, he walked out slowly, "The police in Tokyo may still be looking for me, I have to continue to help." Rest early, children won't grow up if they don't sleep at night. ”

With these intricate interpersonal relationships in mind, Conan took out his small notebook and silently looked at the music score he had copied.

"Sister Xiaolan, I haven't looked at the stave much, what is the thing next to this note, is it a special mark?" Conan handed the notebook in his hand to Mao Lilan and asked.

Don't look at the fact that he has not received much systematic music training, Maolilan is actually very talented in music.

She has a good voice, and unlike Shinichi Kudo, who was born a music idiot, her singing level is generally recognized by everyone.

Out of interest, she has studied professional music theory and knows some musical instruments.

Last time, in the case of the magician, it was she who informed Mori Kogoro that the code word DC is an abbreviation for Da Capo, which means "start all over again", and is used to mark the passage that needs to be repeated.

"Oh, this one......" took the notebook in his hand, and after a brief look at it, he explained, "It's a sign of a sharp and falling semitone." If you put it in a piano score, doesn't the piano have black and white keys? Those black keys in it are the meaning of these semitones. ”

"Keys?" Conan took the notebook back and stared at the high and low notes.

What if you convert all these notes into keys......

From the far left of the piano keyboard, put the 26 letters into it one by one, and then convert them to Romanization......

"Understand? Next, it's you. Fingers ran across the score, and Conan's eyes lit up.

Found the reason why Ken Nishimoto suddenly started going crazy!

All the deceased in this case, as well as Kameyama, who died two years ago, and Keiji Aso, who died twelve years ago, are all playmates who have undergone systematic instrumental learning.

Why did Ken Nishimoto have the reaction of "Keiji Aso is still alive" the moment he saw this code, I'm afraid it's also because of this.

will read the code so familiarly, this group of people, I'm afraid that they don't use this method to transmit information.

The piano that hides drugs, a pianist who is famous overseas, often goes overseas to participate in performances, and often comes into contact with Ken Nishimoto of Keiji Aso......

Keiji Aso, was it really a suicide? And his wife and daughter who died tragically in the fire, were they really killed by him? Such a murderous method......

Conan took a deep breath.

Regardless of the truth of Keiji Aso's death, by this point, all their past grievances have disappeared with death.

All those involved in it are dead, and they can no longer tell the truth in person, and the only person who knows all this is the murderer......

It seems that the purpose is to seek justice for Keiji Aso, or rather, the murderer who finds out the truth about his death, and all the goals have been achieved.

What is his most likely target now?

Escaping from the island? Or pretend to be casual and wait for the police to evacuate?

But think of the bag of heroin, and the poppies on the island that are connected together and that bind all destinies together......

"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan immediately made a decision, raised his head and said to Maolilan, "Let's contact Uncle quickly!" ”

"Oh, good!" Maori Lan skillfully picked up the mobile phone and pressed Maori Kogoro's number with the status of the alarm, "Do you have anything you find to tell Dad?" ”

"You also heard that everyone at the scene of the fire in Keiji Aso is dead. However, there is also the case of drug trafficking and transportation. The old policeman just said that Kawashima and Hirata have been very eccentric lately, often meeting and chatting at the community center. We witnessed firsthand what Secretary Hirata was going to do when he went to the community center. ”

Acting so sneaky, it may involve some factional disputes, or contradictions in the division of interests......

But in short, the bag of heroin that caused Kazuaki Hirata to risk returning to the scene of the crime, so that they subdued him on the spot, is most likely part of the unfinished deal between him and Kawashima.

Even if Kawashima appeared in that room, it would be for a similar reason......

"Now the murderer is still at large, and the police have not yet locked up the suspect. If this murderer doesn't give up," without these reasoning processes, Conan stared into her eyes solemnly and said word by word, "His next target can only be Kazuaki Hirata, who is also under the control of the police!" ”
