"Village chief, someone outside wants to see you!”The bespectacled man returned to the village chief's office and said to the bald middle-aged man inside.
"Who else could it be at this time?"
The bald middle-aged man asked in puzzlement.
"I heard them say that they are detectives from Tokyo!”At this point, cold sweat dripped down the glasses man's forehead.
"What? Detective!" Upon hearing that it was a detective from Tokyo, the bald village chief also looked at the other middle-aged man in the office in surprise.
In the hall of the Citizen Hall.
"Seriously, how long do we have to wait?”
Maori Kogoro, who had already smoked five cigarettes, was getting impatient.
" Huh?" Xiao Lan looked around and asked curiously," Strange, where did Ming Hui and Conan go?"”
At this moment, in a room on the upper floor of the Citizen Hall.
"Is there a piano here?" Conan looked at the piano in the room and asked curiously.
"Hey, you can't, Conan. This is someone else's house!”Xiao Lan was already helpless about this. This child was really curious.
"What a big room!" Maori Kogoro, who was following behind Xiaolan, also entered the house.
"The dust on this piano is really heavy! "It seems like no one has used it for a long time." Conan looked at the piano carefully, his curiosity growing.
"Also, there was white powder on the bottom of the piano!”
Ming Hui came out from under the piano and said to Conan and the others with some white powder on his fingers.
"No, you can't touch that piano!”The bespectacled man who came out to look for Maori Kogoro and the others saw the three people in the room and was sweating profusely. Ming Hui immediately put his hand, which was stained with white powder, behind his back the moment the bespectacled man appeared.
"Why can't I touch it?" Maori Kogoro asked the bespectacled man.
Glasses quickly explained to them," Because this is the piano that Mr. Aso played on the day of his death. Anyone who touches it will be cursed!"”
"Hmm?" At this moment, Conan saw that Ming Hui's fingers were stained with white powder.
After he got close to smell it, his expression suddenly changed. He whispered to Ming Hui, but Ming Hui blinked at Conan and smiled strangely, making Conan confused.
At this time, the bespectacled man began to tell the horror story of the piano.
After listening to the man with glasses, Conan boldly played the piano." But there's nothing different about this piano."
The bespectacled man saw that he did not scare the group of people, so he could only use violence to chase him out of the room.
" In short, before the ritual ends, you can wait in front of the entrance." After saying that, he ignored them and left.
" Really?" Maori Kogoro scoffed at the bespectacled man's words." Is there a need to be so petty?”
"Hey, you guys are still here?" Narumi Asai and the middle-aged man behind him smiled at Kogoro Maori.
"Miss Narumi, are you here to attend the Dharma Assembly as well?" Xiaolan asked as she looked at Narumi Asai's black woolen sweater.”
" Yes, I came with this Mister Masato Shimizu." As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged man behind him.
" Hello." Masato Shimizu nodded politely at us.
" Then we'll leave first." After saying that, he brought Masato Shimizu into the house.
"Eh? Where were Conan and Ming Hui?”Xiao Lan looked at the two people who had disappeared again and said helplessly.
"Forget it, let them play!”Maori Kogoro, on the other hand, expressed his understanding.
" I'm going to the toilet." Maori Kogoro walked into the toilet.
…………
"Dong dong dong…"
At the spiritual conference, the sound of wooden fish being knocked could be heard. Dozens of people in black clothes were kneeling there solemnly.
"Hey, Kawashima!" The bald chief hesitated for a moment before looking at Kawashima suspiciously."Did you hire those detectives?"”
After Kawashima heard this, he snorted,"Why would I do that? Besides, we're on the same boat."
" I'm going to the toilet." After saying that, she stood up and walked out.
"Da da da…"
In the dark and quiet corridor, Kawashima walked steadily on the old wooden floor, making ear-piercing creaking sounds.
At this moment, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Kawashima. He held a handkerchief in his hand and attacked him!
"Woo! "Wuuuu…" Kawashima's eyes widened. After struggling for a while, he fell silent. It was obvious that the handkerchief was smeared with drugs like knockout powder.
"Creak!"
Just as the murderer was about to drag the prey out, the door next door was pushed open.
When the murderer saw the two figures walking out, his eyes were filled with shock and astonishment.……
"Clang! Clang ~ Clang…"
Not long after, the entire Citizen Hall was filled with the strange and loud sound of a piano.
The faces of the people in charge of the ritual in the Citizen Hall changed drastically when they heard this. The bald village chief brought his daughter and assistant to the room where the piano was placed.
The moment he pushed open the door to the piano room!
He saw Kawashima's body lying on the dusty piano. The grand and pleasant piano music was still playing.
"Kawashima!" Seeing the corpse on the piano, the bald village chief wanted to pounce on it, but he was stopped by Maori Kogoro who arrived in time.
" He's dead," Maori Kogoro said in a heavy tone as he touched his wrist.
"No one else can enter now! Xiaolan immediately called the police over. After stopping the bald village chief, Maori Kogoro instructed Xiaolan and Kazumi who had rushed over.
"It's…it's a curse! This is the curse of the piano!"
The bespectacled man pointed at the piano that was still playing with a trembling voice.
"This is not a curse, but the sound of a tape recorder!”Maori Kogoro took out a tape recorder from the piano and explained to them.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't say such nonsense. Who are you?”The village chief's son-in-law was wearing sunglasses, so the emotions in his eyes could not be seen.
When he heard someone ask his name, Maori Kogoro straightened his clothes and introduced himself." I'm the famous detective from Tokyo, Maori Kogoro!”
"So you're a space pilot!"
"No, he said his name is Kogoro, a character from a mystery novel."
"I think Xiaowulang's surname is Mingzhi!"
When they heard Maori Kogoro's self-introduction, everyone started to discuss it, making him feel a headache.
After the autopsy, Chengshi told Kogoro the information he had obtained.
After hearing this, Kogoro began to share his reasoning with everyone." From the situation at the scene, the murderer is still among us!”
"You said that the murderer is among us?”Hearing Maori Kogoro's reasoning, everyone started to distance themselves from the people around them, even glancing at the others suspiciously.
"That's right! "The criminal is here," Maori Kogoro said firmly.
Then, he asked everyone present," Has anyone seen Mr. Kawashima leave his position in the middle of the ritual before this?”
" I know that. He was sitting between us at that time. He said he was going to the toilet," the bald village chief replied.
Maori Kogoro asked them again,"What enemies does Kawashima have?"”
" Not really enemies, but after Kawashima's death, I think the happiest person is definitely Masato Shimizu." As he spoke, he glanced at Masato Shimizu behind him.
"What did you say?" After hearing this, Masato Shimizu glared at the bald village chief and shouted angrily,"Aren't you the same, village chief Heiyan?!"”
" That's true. You're right. If someone didn't transfer Mr. Kawashima's vote source to himself, my father would have been elected as the village chief long ago," the bald village chief's daughter also began to help her father mock Masayoshi Shimizu.
" What?!" Masato Shimizu looked at her angrily after hearing that, and the village chief's assistant began to persuade her not to make a fuss here.
"Alright, calm down and stop arguing!”Maori Kogoro advised them.
"Mr. Mao Li, there seems to be something here!”Dr. Narumi closed the piano cover and looked at the music score on it as he reminded Maori Kogoro.
" This is..." Maori Kogoro picked up the music score and looked at it carefully. The bald village chief's expression turned ugly when he saw the music score. One of the people in the crowd broke down and fled in panic when he saw the music score in Maori Kogoro's hand.
"Alright, since there's nothing else, you can go back first. We'll do a detailed investigation when Officer Mu Mu comes tomorrow!”
Maori Kogoro chased them out after he finished speaking. After he left, he walked towards the house of the person who had just collapsed.
In the dilapidated attic, the man with a spiky head who had just escaped from the Citizen Hall was still curled up in fear under the blanket. There were many empty wine bottles on the ground, and plastic lunchboxes were everywhere. Many mosquitoes were flying around.
"Zi! Zi!"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew through the room, causing the spike-haired man, who had already shrunk into the blanket, to tremble. The light bulbs in the entire room flashed a few times before extinguishing, and the expression on his face became even more fearful.
The entire house was still pitch black, and the leaves outside were rustling in the cold wind, as if someone was constantly approaching.
" Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"
Just as the hedgehog head was tensed up, a woman with waist-length hair holding a short-haired child's hand was illuminated by the moonlight and reflected on the wardrobe by the bed.
"Ah! Don't look for me, Mrs. Aso. It was Kuroiwa, Kawashima, and Kameyama who instructed me. Don't look for me!!”Listening to the resentful calls and the reflection on the wardrobe, the hedgehog head finally could not control himself and broke down shouting.
"Why did you kill our family? Why!”
At this moment, a tall and sturdy curly-haired man walked out from the other end of the window and asked the hedgehog head in a fake tone.
"I'm telling the truth, Brother Keiji. They made Kazuaki go out to buy some heroine and then put it in your piano to make a deal. I was really forced to do this. "Wuwuwu," she said and started crying.
"Pa da!"
As soon as the hedgehog man finished speaking, the lights in the room were switched on, and the room lit up. Under the shocked gaze of the hedgehog man, Maori Kogoro, Narumi, Akira, and Conan all walked in together.
"Is everything clear now, Officer Megure?”Maori Kogoro said to Officer Megami on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, I've already figured it out. Watch the witness! I'll come over tomorrow morning!" With that, he hung up.
" Alright, Mr. Nishimoto," Maori Kogoro said to Nishimoto, who was also the hedgehog man," because of what you said and the music score we found in the storage room, we have already grasped the underground drug trade between you, Hirata, Kawashima, and Kuroiwa. I am officially detaining you on behalf of the police!”
"Hu! It was good to catch him. This way, he would not have to be afraid of anything.”Nishimoto heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Maori Kogoro's words.
After all, he had had enough of living in fear. Now that he was finally free, he didn't have to think about anything else. He just wanted to have a good sleep.
" Then, Narumi, Minghui, and Conan, you guys stay here and guard him. I'll go back and watch over the unconscious Kawashima first. Otherwise, it'll be bad if he wakes up." After saying that, he hurriedly ran back because there was only Xiaolan and the old policeman who had just arrived. He was really worried.
" Thank you so much!" Looking at Maori Kogoro who had already left and Akira Conan who was standing there, Narumi sincerely expressed his gratitude. After all, they were the ones who saved him before he became a demon.
"You're welcome. After all, this is what detectives should do!”Conan explained with a smile,"And this plan and music score were all thought of by Ming Hui."
" I don't want a beautiful and kind big brother to continue being so wrong." Ming Hui turned his face away with a tsundere expression.
"No, you are all my saviors. I will always remember you!”After saying that, Cheng Shi wanted to walk out, but he was surprised to find that the door was locked from the outside.
"Why are you courting death? Haven't you already taken your revenge?”Conan was puzzled.
"Because I don't have anyone to worry about in this world. Without family, how can I still have the face to live in this world!”As he spoke, tears streamed down Cheng Shi's face.
"Don't you understand what your father left you? He wants you to live! Do you want your parents and sister in heaven to suffer?!”Ming Hui was practically roaring at the end of his sentence. His furious roar stunned Cheng Shi, who was crying.
"Those who deserve it have already received their punishment. Why can't you forgive yourself? If you still want to die, if you want to go to heaven to see your family's sad and painful tears, then go." As he spoke, Ming Hui expressionlessly kicked open the door that seemed extremely fragile to Ming Hui. He stood by the door and looked at Cheng Shi's dull eyes with disdain. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
"…" Cheng Shi stood up silently and hugged Ming Hui tightly in his arms.
They silently shed tears of sadness, joy, nostalgia, and other unknown emotions.
In the early morning, the golden sunlight drove away the endless darkness, dispelling the sins of the past for Moon Shadow Island, and also reminiscing the beautiful crossdresser who had left countless footprints on the island.
" Hey, what did Narumi say to you just now?" On the ship back to Tokyo, Conan asked Ming Hui, who was staring at the sunrise.
" He... he said that after he came out, he would have a sex change operation and want to be the godsister of my cute little brother." Ming Hui looked at the sunrise with a lonely figure and said the words that Cheng Shi said before he was taken away by the police.
Because Ming Hui had changed the plot, he had stopped Narumi from having a sad ending, but he had also brought his sister two months later.。。
Conan, Xiaolan, and Maori Kogoro were speechless.
"Hahahahaha!"
In the end, everyone couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
"See you next time, Brother Hui!"
She was also looking at the sunrise outside the window. Facing the golden sunlight, she revealed a pure and beautiful smile.
The police officers who were guarding him were mesmerized.
Author's Note: Originally, I wanted to write a simple story, but after watching this episode a few times, I still couldn't bring myself to write it. In the end, I wrote such a long story.
I wrote all of this based on my own ideas without an outline.
I don't know if it suits the readers 'taste.
In the end!
