Chapter 21 Moonlight Moonlight III

"Really, how long do we have to wait!" In the living room, Kogoro Mori impatiently squeezed the cigarette in his hand.

"Strange, where is Conan and Xiao Feng?" Xiaolan looked around and searched for the two children.

At this time, Conan and Asaha were standing at the door of a room. Conan gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"Piano..." Looking at the only item placed in the room, Conan pondered.

"No!" Xiaolan also walked into the room and wanted to pull the two children out.

"What a big room!" Kogoro Mori also walked in. He walked to the window and looked out the window, "So that's it, there's a sea behind the citizen hall!"

"This piano is so dirty!" Xiaolan said looking at the piano.

"It doesn't matter, just clean it up." Conan said as he wanted to wipe the dust on it with his hands.

Secretary Hirata, who walked to the door, was shocked to see this, "No! You can't touch it!"

Everyone was startled and saw Secretary Hirata saying with a gray face: "This piano... is the cursed piano played by Mr. Aso at the concert!"

"No?" Kogoro said strangely, "How could he be cursed?"

"It's not just Mr. Aso!" Secretary Hirata said hurriedly, "The same thing happened to the former village chief!"

"Oh?" Kogoro was surprised, "So today's ritual is the former village chief, Mr. Yu Kameyama?"

"Yes," said Mr. Hirata for a moment, "this happened two years ago..."

"It was a full moon night. I happened to pass here. It was so late that no one would be in the citizen hall. But..." Hirata said with fear, "The sound of playing the piano came from inside!"

"When I spoke to confirm if there was anyone, the sound suddenly stopped. When I walked in..."

"Mr. Kameyama is lying on the piano! The cause of death was a heart attack! And..." Hirata's face was extremely pale, "The music he played was the sonata that Mr. Aso kept playing in the flames before his death, moonlight!"

"From then on, this piano slowly turned into a cursed piano." Secretary Hirata ended his story, and before he knew it, everyone felt a little chill in his heart.

But Conan walked forward, opened the lid of the piano, pressed it randomly, making a crisp sound. "This piano is no different!" Conan said with a smile regardless of Xiaolan's slightly white face.

"Old... Anyway, before the ritual is over in the evening, you should stay in the reception room first!" Secretary Hirata, who was so scared that his face turned pale, turned around and left.

"...What a timid man!" Conan looked at his back speechlessly.

"Hey, are you still here?" A vibrant female voice came. Everyone looked back and found that it was Nariki Asai, the female doctor in the clinic. She changed into a black dress and looked very youthful. She was surrounded by a man in a black suit.

"Are you here to participate in the ritual tonight?" Kogoro Mori said as he looked at her black outfit.

"Yes, because when I first came to this island, the first autopsy was Mr. Kameyama." Asai Narimi replied, "So I want to come and burn incense to greet you."

"The subject of the first autopsy..." Conan rolled his eyes, and Asaha also endured the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"By the way," Asai Narishi introduced to everyone, "This is Mr. Shimizu Masato I mentioned."

"Hello you guys." Shimizu Masato said with a smile.

night.

In the mourning hall, all the guests were kneeling on the ground, and an abbot in front of the spirit was muttering to recite the scriptures.

"Kawashima, it was you who thrust my heart to spy on my detective, right?" Kuroiyan Village Chief asked Mr. Kawashima beside him.

"Hmm? How is that possible!" Mr. Kawashima snorted coldly, and stood up and walked outside.

"You want to escape, don't you?" the village chief Heiyan whispered.

"You're thinking too much." Kawashima turned around, "I'm just going to the bathroom." After that, he walked out of the room.

On the steps outside the door, Conan and his group were sitting bored.

"Did you feel it?" Conan whispered to Asaha sitting next to him. "That piano..."

"Yeah." Asayu also lowered her voice, "Based on my years of experience playing the piano, it is impossible to play the piano sound for many years. There must be noise. It seems that someone has specially maintained that piano."

"Well, someone must have adjusted the rhythm secretly..." Conan suddenly frowned, "Did you hear any sound?"

Qianyu listened to it, "The sound of the piano, this song is...Moonlight!"

"Oh no!" The two looked at each other and ran quickly towards the citizen hall.

......

He pushed open the door heavily, ignoring the amazing eyes of the people around him, Conan gritted his teeth, "Damn it, it's too late!"

"The person is dead." Asaha looked at Mr. Kawashima's face and said calmly.

"Ran, go and notify the police!" Kogoro Maori shouted to Xiaolan. Xiaolan agreed and ran out. "Doctor Seiji, please come for an autopsy."

"Okay." Asai Nariki agreed and walked forward.

Damn! The letter that day has been previewed! Conan gritted his teeth and said, on the full moon night, someone will die!

Qianyu looked at the pool of water next to the corpse and frowned without saying a word.

"Curse! This is the curse!" Secretary Hirata was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, "This is the curse of the piano!"

"What a curse!" Kogoro Mori snorted coldly, "It's not the piano that happened at all! It's this recorder!" As he said that, he took out a recorder from the feet of the corpse, clicked the play button, and the cold melody of the moonlight floated out from it.

"This is a murder that someone took advantage of the incident two years ago!" Kogoro Mouri made the final decision.

"Hey, who are you?" asked Miss Kuroshiro's fiancé Murazawa.

"I am, a famous detective from Tokyo," said Kogoro Maori proudly, "Kogoro Maori!"

"Oh, space pilot!" Someone destroyed Kogoro's pride in just one sentence.

"It seems like a character in a mystery novel!"

"Your name is Akichi Kogoro."

"..." Although he knew that the situation was wrong, Asayu couldn't help laughing out loud when he looked at Kogoro's distorted face.

Conan gave him a blank look, as if he was blaming him for his incompetence.

"Don't worry, I have noticed what should be paid attention to." Qianyu put away his smile and pointed to the water traces next to the body.

......

"It is estimated that the death time is between half an hour and an hour. Is the cause of death? It should be suffocation." Cheng Shi provided the autopsy results.

"Seawater..." Conan looked at the water traces, then looked at Akaha who was looking by the window.

"I think Mr. Kawashima's death should be drowning," said Seung Shi. "However, I dare not make a judgment without the dissection."

"Doctor Seki is right," Conan said, "The coat on the beach should be Dr. Kawashima's things, and there are traces of water trails in the room. There are also sand on the back. There should be no problem, right?" The last sentence was what he said to Asaha in a low voice.

"Maybe." Qianyu looked at Cheng Shi, the autopsy, thoughtfully.

....I hope you don't do that kind of stupid thing in the end. Qian Yu sighed lightly.
