Inside Doctor Narumi's office.
Kazumi Asai poured drinks for Shu Yunwen and the others. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Maori Kogoro also raised the issue of finding a client.
"What? Are you saying that you received a commission from the deceased Mr. Aso Keiji?”Doctor Narumi asked in surprise.
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes.
Alright, if he didn't already know that the person who sent the power of attorney was Dr. Narumi, he might have been deceived…
Maori Kogoro smiled and said,"Yes, that's right." However, we have already asked in the public office. Since Mr. Aso Keiji is already dead, I have deduced that the person who sent us this letter is very likely a friend of Mr. Aso Keiji. "Moreover, the commission fee we received was not a small sum. His friend should be a very rich friend. Therefore, we would like to ask, in your impression, is there such a person?”
After saying that, Conan rolled his eyes. Uncle, what did you deduce?
Shu Yunwen also smiled and said,""The content of the letter of authorization given to us by the client is a little too vague. Only by finding the client can we complete what the client wants us to do…"
" Actually, I was born in Tokyo," Dr. Narumi replied." I've only been on this island for a little more than three years. I've only heard about the situation of the island's residents from the patients, so I don't know much about it. However, I did hear from a patient that Aso Keiji seemed to be friends with Mr. Kuroiwa, Mr. Kawashima, Mr. Kameyama, and Mr. Nishimoto since they were young."
"Oh?" Mr. Mao Li said seriously," Can you please tell me about these four gentlemen?”
"Of course, no problem." Dr. Narumi nodded. Mr. Kuroiwa Tatsuji was the current village chief of Moon Shadow Island. Mr. Kawashima's name was Hideo, and he was a well-known wealthy man on the island. Mr. Nishimoto has no occupation. As for Mr. Tortoise Mountain, he was the previous village chief of our Moon Shadow Island. He died three years ago. Oh right, speaking of which, today is the third anniversary of Mr. Turtle Mountain's death. There will be a memorial service in the Citizen Hall later…"
"Hmm? Is Mister Turtle Mountain dead?" Conan belonged to the type of person who was more alert than anyone when he heard of a dead person." May I ask what was the cause of Mr. Kameyama's death? Was he killed?"
Dr. Narumi chuckled and shook his head."How could that be? He only died of illness! He died of illness! Mr. Kameyama had a heart attack, and no one noticed it when it happened. In the end, he died.”Doctor Narumi paused for a moment before continuing,"However, when he died, he fell on the piano in the Citizen Hall. The piano even played a piece of music for his funeral. I heard that the owner of the piano seems to be the Aso Keiji you mentioned. From then on, people said that Aso Keiji's ghost seemed to have been attached to that piano…"
"G-Ghost?" Xiaolan was very afraid.
"Sister Xiaolan, there are no ghosts in this world! Even if there are ghosts, they only appear in novels and television dramas…"
Uncle Mao Li also ignored the topic of "ghosts" and said,"In that case, the person who entrusted us here is very likely Mr. Kawashima Hideo? Among the three of them, he seems to be the only one who fits the description…"
Conan the Little Joker rejected Uncle Mao Li's words again.""No, it's not like that, Uncle Mao Li. The current village chief of Moon Shadow Island, Mr. Kuroiwa Tatsuji, could also be a possibility! He was the village chief. By the way, Dr. Narumi, that Mr. Nishimoto doesn't have a job. His daily life must be very poor, right?”
"That's not it." Dr. Narumi shook his head." Although Mr. Nishimoto doesn't have a job, he seems to be very rich. I heard that three years ago, he drank, gambled, and played with women every day. This required a lot of expenses…"
"Oh?" Conan smiled proudly."In that case, this Mr. Nishimoto Ken might also take out a large sum of money to hire us to come to Moon Shadow Island. In this way, the three of them are very likely to…Ouch ~"
Uncle Mao Li moved his hand away from Conan's head.""Little brat, don't pretend to be an adult and ask all sorts of questions!”
Then, Mr. Maori smiled and looked at Dr. Narumi."I'm really sorry. Children are too troublesome. Yes, but these three people were indeed very likely to be the clients. So, Dr. Narumi, how can we find the three of them?”
Dr. Narumi glanced at Conan, then smiled and said,"If you want to find them, you can go to the Citizen Hall! As I said earlier, the Citizen Hall will be holding a memorial service for the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama. The village chief, Mr. Kawashima, and Mr. Nishimoto are all friends who grew up with Mr. Kameyama. They should all be attending. Oh right, actually, I'll be there too, but it'll be after work ~ The first person I'll be doing an autopsy on is Mr. Turtle Mountain…"
Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes.
When Dr. Chengshi went to the Citizen Hall, it would probably be the beginning of the murder case, right?
"Is that so?" Uncle Mao Li smiled and nodded." Thank you for telling us this.”
The few of them chatted for a while more before Uncle Mao Li stood up and said goodbye.
After they walked out of the clinic on Moon Shadow Island, Conan turned to look at Shu Yunwen curiously. Brother Yunwen, you didn't seem to ask anything just now…"
Shu Yunwen was still thinking about how to help Cheng Shi when he heard Conan's question. He rolled his eyes and said,""You've already asked what you need to ask. What else do I have to ask?”
"Hmm…I don't care. Since we're here, we should take the opportunity to taste the delicacies on Moon Shadow Island…"
Uncle Mao Li turned into a foodie, but before he could finish speaking, Conan interrupted him,"Uncle Mao Li, I think we should go to the Citizen Hall first! Those three people might be in the Citizen Hall now. Hmm…If we can find the client, perhaps the client will treat us to the most unique delicacies of Moon Shadow Island…"
" Uh…" Uncle Mao Li held his chin." Kid, what you said makes sense!”
Of course, the real delicacies of Moon Shadow Island could only be found by the people of Moon Shadow Island.
Moreover, the most important thing was…if he found the client, the client would definitely treat him to a meal. He, Maori Kogoro, would not have to spend money.
"…In that case, let's go to the Citizen Hall first.”
……
Outside the Citizen Hall.
Kazuaki Hirata bowed to Shu Yunwen, Maori Kogoro, and the others."All in all, before the memorial service ends, please wait here at the door and don't run around…After the memorial service ends, the village chief and the others will meet you. Please!"
After Hirata Kazuaki finished speaking, he turned around and was about to enter.
"Secretary Hirata, I'm a Spirit-Exorcist!" Shu Yunwen quickly said. There's a memorial service here, but you're making me, a Spiritualist, stay outside…"
Kazuaki turned around." Shusang, please don't give us any trouble, okay?" We've already invited the monks from the temple.”
After Hirata Kazuaki entered the Citizens 'Hall, Mori-san mumbled,""What a rude fellow! Could such a person be the secretary of the village chief? Really…"
Shu Yunwen turned his head and looked at Conan helplessly.""Do you think it's interesting, Edogawa? It's all because of you messing around inside and playing that piano that we were chased out!”
That's right. Shu Yunwen and the others had entered the Citizen Hall and were waiting to meet. However, Conan the little brat ran around everywhere and even ran into a room with a piano. He played the piano randomly, and then…they were chased out ~
Hmm, a bunch of unfriendly fellows.
Conan didn't care much about this."Mr. Hirata seems to be very nervous about that piano." Moreover, that piano didn't look like it hadn't been played for a long time. Its tone was very accurate. If no one tuned it, it wouldn't be like this ~!”
"It's, it's a ghost! It must be a ghost! It was Mr. Aso's ghost that was helping it tune!”Xiao Lan looked terrified.
Shu Yunwen rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Hey, hey, hey! Do you have to get into character so quickly? I haven't said anything yet…
Moreover, when he saw the piano just now, Shu Yunwen also opened his Ghost Eyes and glanced at it.
He was sure that there was no ghost on the piano. There was not even a trace of Yin Qi.
"Damn it…the sky is already turning dark.”Maori Kogoro raised his hand to look at his watch." If we had known earlier, we might as well have gone to eat something. We wouldn't have ended up like this, waiting foolishly at the entrance of the Citizen Hall. Little brat, it's all because of you!"
Uncle Mao Li also represented the people and bombarded Little Conan.
Conan chuckled and glanced at the scared Xiao Lan beside him. He suddenly had the thought of teasing her."Sister Xiaolan, do you think ghosts will come out when the sky turns dark?”
" Ahhhhh! I hate you!" Xiaolan shouted frantically and pushed Conan.
" Ouch!" Then, Conan fell to the ground helplessly.
Lan quickly helped Conan up.""Conan, are you okay? Seriously, who asked you to scare me…"
"Haha…Maori-san, you can leave now. If a ghost really comes out, I'll catch it.”When Shu Yunwen spoke, there was a smile on his face. He looked at Conan with amusement. Who told you to scare Xiaolan?
"Then I'll leave it to Shu Sang!" Xiao Lan immediately expressed that she believed in him.
"By the way, when Dr. Cheng Shi wore black just now, he looked very beautiful too!”No one knew what Uncle Mao Li was thinking.
Xiaolan was taking photos of Conan's clothes, but when she heard this, she immediately glared at Uncle Mao Li.""Daddy! Can you stop too?”
As the four of them chatted, the sound of chanting could be vaguely heard from the Citizen Hall.
After some time, Xiao Lan looked up at the sky.""The moon tonight seems to be very beautiful!”
Uncle Mao Li also raised his head. Such a beautiful moon was not common in Yonaka Town…The air quality here was indeed very good…Speaking of which, the piano room was connected to the sea. If he were to look out from that room, the scenery at night would definitely be amazing. What a pity, it's all this brat's fault…"
Uncle Mao Li looked at Conan with resentment.
"... Hehehehe..." Conan laughed foolishly and immediately changed the topic." I wonder how long this memorial will take.”
"It should be soon, right?" Shu Yunwen smiled and turned his head to look behind him. When he saw the situation in the Citizen Hall behind him, his expression changed.
On the other side of the Citizens 'Hall, a wave of Yin Qi and Ghost Qi slowly grew and dispersed into the surroundings.
This scene also meant that someone had died.
Kazumi Asai finally made his move.
Shu Yunwen stood up, estimated the direction, and walked in the direction of the Yin Qi. Uncle Mao Li, Conan, and Lan were all curious. Conan even asked,""Brother Yunwen, what are you doing there?”
Shu Yunwen waved his hand and said casually,""I'm going to the forest for a while. Don't worry about me.”
Uncle Mao Li glanced in Shu Yunwen's direction and said,""What a strange fellow."
Conan narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up. He quickly chased after Shu Yunwen."Big Sister Xiaolan, Uncle Mao Li, I'll go take a look too. Don't worry about me.”
"Conan! Don't run around! " Really…" Lan looked at the direction Conan ran in and wanted to chase after him. However, when she saw the dark forest, she was afraid and felt a chill down her spine.
Uncle Mao Li glanced into the distance and said casually,""Alright, Xiaolan, don't worry about that brat. With Shu Sang taking care of him, he would be fine.”
" But…" Xiao Lan hesitated. After thinking for a while, she decided to give up.
In the forest.
Shu Yunwen looked at the little ghost behind him and felt a little helpless.""Edogawa, why are you here?”
"Oh? Can't I?" Conan asked curiously," Brother Yunwen, do you have something that you need to do alone?”
I found out that Narumi Asai killed someone and went to deal with the evidence and traces, alright? You little brat will be a hindrance if you follow me!
Shu Yunwen complained in his heart, but he said,"Tsk! It's up to you. If you want to follow, then follow."
Conan responded and then suddenly asked,""Oh right, Brother Yunwen. Regarding that Secretary Hirata, don't you think he's a little strange?”
"Strange? Is there?" Shu Yunwen asked.
Conan nodded. At the beginning, his attitude towards us was not bad. However, after seeing the piano, he seemed to have lost his composure. I feel like he's hiding something…"
As the two of them chatted, Shu Yunwen slowly strolled to a place not far away from the soul.
Conan looked around curiously." This place…should be behind the piano room in the Citizen Hall, right?"”
"It should be! Strange, how did he end up here?”Shu Yunwen watched from afar. Through the faint light, he could see a newborn ghost floating on the sea, as well as some strange traces on the ground and beach. They should be footprints.
Could it be that Narumi Asai drowned someone in the sea?
Shu Yunwen chanted a witchcraft spell and then said the word " absorb ". The newborn ghost was already caught in Shu Yunwen's hand and turned into a soul ball.
Shu Yunwen looked down and saw a ferocious face on the surface of the soul ball trying to break free.
Shu Yunwen had never seen this face before. However, it should be one of Cheng Shi's goals. Moreover, this newborn ghost should have already lost its mind. It was just the most common newborn ghost.
"Can we enter the piano room from here?”Conan said curiously and wanted to walk forward.
Shu Yunwen quickly reached out and grabbed Conan.""Edogawa, don't run around. The beach is right in front of us. If you get swept away by the sea and die, I can't bear the responsibility.”
" Hehehe…" Conan laughed foolishly, rolling his eyes in his heart. You will die!
As for Shu Yunwen, after carefully looking at the traces in the distance and confirming that they should be footprints, he narrowed his eyes and chanted the witchcraft again.
Ghost Sorcery, Spirit Controlling!
As the witchcraft ended, the soul ball in Shu Yunwen's hand suddenly rose into the air. A ball of Yin Qi and Ghost Qi flew toward the beach not far away. Under the effect of a strange power, the footprints on the sand were filled up one by one, as if no one had walked on them.
Seeing that the footprints were beginning to disappear, Shu Yunwen did not stay any longer. He took Conan's hand and turned around to leave."Alright, little brat. I've had enough of wandering around. I'm going back!"
"Oh…Alright!" Although Conan felt a little strange, he did not notice anything unusual. He nodded and followed Shu Yunwen out of the forest.
When they returned to the entrance of the Citizens 'Hall, Lan immediately carried Conan over.""Seriously, Conan, you're running around again. You're too disobedient! Shusang, I'm really sorry. Conan has troubled you.”
"Oh, it's okay." Shu Yunwen shook his head casually. At the same time, the newborn ghost in the distance quickly flew back to Shu Yunwen's hand and turned into a soul ball again.
Uncle Mao Li held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep puff."Is there anything to see in the forest?”
"Of course not," Shu Yunwen replied with a smile. I told you, I was just going to slip away…"
"Hmm?" Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano coming from the Citizen Hall.
After listening for a few seconds, Conan's expression changed drastically. He pushed open the door of the Citizen Hall and rushed in.
Uncle Mao Li's expression was solemn as he stood up. Xiaolan, if I remember correctly, this song should be…"
"…Moonlight, right?" Shu Yunwen took over the conversation and looked at Conan's running figure in the Citizen Hall. He immediately followed.
Seeing this, Uncle Mao Li and Xiaolan also rushed into the Citizens 'Hall.
In the Citizen Hall, Conan followed the sound to the piano room and pushed the door open.
In the empty room, on the piano facing the door, a drenched person sat on a chair with his head on the keyboard and his face facing the window. Beautiful and light music sounded beside the piano. It seemed to come from heaven, but also seemed to come from hell.
At this time, Uncle Mao Li had also rushed to the piano door. After seeing the situation in the room, he immediately rushed into the room and pressed his hand on the victim's neck. A few seconds later, he closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly."It's too late, he's already dead."
Conan also walked into the room. He first looked at the drenched corpse, then followed the water stains on the ground to the back door of the beach.
"The corpse should have been moved in from here. The water stains on the ground should be seawater. There was also some sand in the marks on the ground. The deceased's feet were also stained with sand. According to our preliminary analysis, someone probably called the victim out and drowned her in the water. Then, they dragged her into the piano room from the back door…"
Conan deduced in his heart. At the same time, he thought of what he and Shu Yunwen had seen from the forest and the situation on the beach.
"Judging from the time, when Shu Yunwen and I were in the woods, the deceased had already been killed and dragged into the room. Damn it! Who did it? Who is it?"
Conan was still thinking about it. As for Shu Yunwen, he was smiling as he looked out the window at the beach outside.
The waves on the beach were surging. The ground was flat and there was no trace at all.
Conan walked up to Shu Yunwen and jumped to the window of the back door. He looked outside and was stunned.
How could there be no traces on the ground?
"Damn it!" Mr. Mao Li shouted and turned around to see Dr. Cheng Shi in the crowd." Dr. Cheng Shi, can I trouble you to help with the autopsy?"”
"What? Yes!" Dr. Chengshi, who had superb acting skills, responded and walked in. After looking at the victim for a while, he said with certainty," The victim should have drowned. However, we can't be sure until we dissect him…"
" Drowned... and the marks on the ground..." Maori Kogoro walked to the back door." Was she drowned in the sea and then dragged into this room?" What a vile criminal, what a hateful fellow…I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will definitely arrest you!”
"Uncle Mao Li, my deduction is the same as yours. However, don't you feel that something is missing on the beach outside?”
"Is there anything missing?" Mr. Mao Li was stunned.”
"There are no footprints or drag marks on the beach outside.”Conan said.
Uncle Mao Li stared outside, then opened the door and looked at the beach."Really, really? How was this possible? How did he do it? How did he not leave any footprints?!”
Conan stood on the wooden ladder in front of the door and looked down at the flat beach below. There was also a slightly obvious water stain."If our deduction is correct, it means that the beach is missing the most crucial part that can prove our deduction. In other words, this is…"
"…It's impossible for him to commit a crime!"
