" Dr. Narumi, may I know the identity of the deceased..." Mr. Maori looked at the beach again, and finally turned his head to look at the corpse lying on the piano. Thanks to Conan, they only stayed in the Citizen Hall for a while in the afternoon before they were chased out. In their eyes, the deceased was just a stranger.
"Ah…yes!" Dr. Narumi, who was still helping with the autopsy, immediately replied," The deceased's name is Kawajima Hideo. He's a big businessman on Moonshadow Island..."
"Oh? " So…" Mori-san stared into Kawashima Hideo's eyes," Is he the friend of Aso Keiji that you mentioned?" Hmm…It was really tragic to be killed by someone in the sea…However, why were there no footprints on the beach?”
Shu Yunwen also stood at the side and watched. As for Xiaolan, she shouted loudly,""…It's, it's an evil spirit! There must be an evil spirit at work! The evil spirit must have drowned him in the sea and then dragged him in, so there were no footprints!”
Conan turned around and looked at Xiaolan speechlessly.
Please, this place is already very chaotic. Little Lan, can you not join in the fun and cause trouble?
"Big Sister Xiaolan, how can there be evil spirits in this world? The murderer must have used some kind of method…"
Before Conan could finish, someone at the door shouted,"It's, it's a curse! It was the curse on this piano! It must have been Aso Keiji and Kameyama Isamu's ghosts that attached themselves to the piano and then, then killed Mr. Kawashima!!”
The person who spoke was the previous secretary, Kazuaki Hirata.
Lan took two steps back in fear." Is this piano really cursed?”
"Yes! Definitely!" Kazuaki nodded fearfully." We'd better leave this place quickly. Otherwise, we, we will all be killed by the curse!”
Shu Yunwen turned his head and rolled his eyes. Mao Li, you and this guy are singing the same tune. This is f * cking crosstalk!
Uncle Mao Li rolled his eyes and took out a recorder from the piano. He pressed it and the music disappeared."What curse? That was all a lie. The piano music was played from this recorder. However, you people should leave the door immediately to avoid ruining the scene!”
Someone in the crowd immediately questioned,""Hey! That bearded guy, who are you? Why are you asking us to leave?”
Shu Yunwen smiled and pointed at Uncle Mao Li.""This is a famous detective from Tokyo, Maori Kogoro!”
Maori Kogoro immediately coughed twice and gave Shu Yunwen a thumbs up in his heart.'Young man, I have high hopes for you. This introduction is awesome ~'
And then…
Crowd A: " Maori Kogoro? Wasn't he a space pilot? When did you become a detective?"
Crowd B: This was definitely not the same person! Speaking of detectives, I do know Kogoro Akechi…"
Crowd 3:"Wise Kogoro?" That was a mission in a novel, alright?”
Uncle Mao Li's face fell, and he was a little dejected. Coincidentally, he heard Xiao Lan shouting about her fear, so Uncle Mao Li waved his hand."Xiaolan, if you think it's dangerous here, why don't you call the police?”
"Yes, sir! But…am I going alone?”Xiao Lan expressed that the Lun family was very afraid.
"Yes, you alone are enough." Mr. Mao Li didn't seem to care." If you really encounter an evil spirit, you can use karate to deal with it…"
"Ou Dusang! How could karate beat a ghost?”Xiao Lan was even more afraid.
At this moment, someone in the crowd took the initiative to say,"It is indeed too dangerous to let a beautiful lady act alone at night. Why don't we call the police…"
"No, I can't! No! We're the only ones who can call the police!”Before the man could finish his sentence, Conan, who was staring at the corpse, immediately denied it. He said seriously," Since the afternoon before dark, Uncle Mao Li, Sister Lan, and Brother Yun Wen have been sitting at the front door of the Citizen Hall and have never left. There are no footprints on the beach near the piano room, but Mr. Kawashima's coat is floating on the surface of the sea. Inside the piano room, the door and windows are locked from the inside, and there are no signs of damage. In other words, the murderer who killed Mr. Kawashima is very likely to be the person who attended the memorial ceremony tonight…"
Maori Kogoro nodded. If you have any important evidence on you and you want to destroy it…Yun Wensang, can you please go to the police with Xiaolan?”
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and nodded.""Alright, no problem."
After saying that, Shu Yunwen turned his head and glanced at Dr. Cheng Shi. He smiled at Xiao Lan and said,""Maori-san, let's go."
"Ha Yi! Shu Sang, I've really troubled you.”
Shu Yunwen and Xiao Lan walked out of the Citizens 'Hall together. They found the police at the police station and returned to the Citizens' Hall. It had been half an hour.
There was only one cop on the island. It was really a cop uncle, and he was not young.
After the commotion, the old policeman left everyone's information. It was too late, and everyone who participated in the memorial ceremony was allowed to leave. The wind and waves were too strong at night, and the police investigating the murder wouldn't be able to rush over for a while. Because of the corpse, the old policeman had to stay behind to look after the corpse and maintain the scene. Shu Yunwen and the others also walked to the hotel. Asai Kazumi happened to be on the way, so they walked together for a while.
After Asai Narumi left, Conan deliberately pulled Shu Yunwen to a distance behind Uncle Mao Li and Xiaolan. Then he said,""Brother Yunwen, did you find anything suspicious?”
Shu Yunwen shook his head." No. By the way, I'm just a Spirit Exorcist. I'm not a detective…"
Conan rolled his eyes. I've noticed it long ago. You rely on your keen observation skills and reasoning skills to do things that are impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, making others think that you're a Spirit-breaker, right?”
"…How is that possible?" Shu Yunwen was speechless.
You little brat, how did you come to this conclusion?
Conan ignored Shu Yunwen's answer and continued,"" The situation in the piano room at that time, the doors and windows were originally locked. Mr. Kawashima's body was lying on the piano, and there were traces of seawater mixed with a small amount of sand on the ground. Mr. Kawashima was drenched and smelled of seawater. Some parts of his body were also covered in sand. We can be sure that the murderer should be among those people in the Citizen Hall tonight. However, I still don't understand how the murderer managed to drown the victim in the sea outside the back door without leaving any footprints on the beach…"
Shu Yunwen misled Conan." Could it be that a big wooden board was placed on the beach?"”
Conan rolled his eyes. Even if a large wooden board was placed on the beach, it would leave traces of the wooden board pressing against the beach, okay? There was not a single trace on the beach! Also, if you were the victim and someone took you to the beach, but there was a wooden board on the beach for you to walk over, no normal person would walk over, right? Besides, tell me, where is he going to hide such a big piece of wood after he uses it? It's definitely impossible to do it indoors. If it's outdoors, we'll be discovered…He must have used some other method…"
" Oh," Shu Yunwen responded and said casually," Then, could the scene of death be indoors?"”
Conan glared at Shu Yunwen. This was even more unreliable than placing wooden planks on the beach! First of all, the deceased should have drowned. In order to drown the deceased, there must be a container of seawater, seawater, and a place that would definitely not be discovered. As you know, there was a memorial ceremony in the Citizen Hall at that time. People were coming in and out. If they heard anything, wouldn't they be discovered? Besides, you saw the situation in the piano room. If the crime scene was really in the Citizen Hall and not the piano room, the body would definitely be dragged into the piano room. Do you think that's possible? Alright, assuming that the crime scene was in the piano room, where was the water container? How was the murderer going to move out? As long as someone saw it, it would be very bad, okay?”
After saying that, Conan said helplessly,"Damn it…you're just fooling me, aren't you?”
" Hehehe..." Shu Yunwen chuckled.
Motherf * cker! The heavens had mercy on him. He had racked his brains to think of this, okay? Who knew that Conan's eyes were full of loopholes.
"Forget it. It seems like you didn't find anything.”Conan waved his hand and continued solemnly," Brother Yunwen, do you still remember the contents of the two letters? Now that he thought about it, it should be the killer's premonition. If my deduction is correct, the person who sent us the two letters must be the murderer!”
"…Also, the contents of the letter. Uncle Mao Li had written in his letter that 'some shadows will start to disappear'. In other words, this was only the beginning, and there might be more to come. In your letter, the word 'purify all evil spirits',' all 'also means that there isn't just one evil spirit, but several. The murderer might continue to kill…"
As soon as Conan finished speaking, Shu Yunwen turned his head to look at the stinky little brat and immediately shouted at Uncle Mao Li in front of him,"Mr. Mao Li, the murderer might continue to kill!”
"What? W-what?" Uncle Mao Li, who was also thinking about the case, immediately turned his head." Yun Wensang, did you find anything?”
"Actually, it's our trust letter," said Shu Yunwen with a smile.
Shu Yunwen repeated Conan's analysis, and then Uncle Mao Li held his chin and thought,""If that's the case, it seems to make a lot of sense. Yun Wensang, your observation skills are really sharp! Compared to the famous detective, Maori Kogoro, he's only a little bit weaker ~"
Shu Yunwen smiled."Mr. and Mrs. Mao Li, you're too polite. How can I compare to you?" Actually, Conan secretly told me all of this just now ~"
"Ke, Conan?" Uncle Mao Li and Xiaolan looked at Conan in surprise.
Conan laughed dryly, while Uncle Mao Li said,""This little brat can occasionally find some important clues. Hmm, if that's the case, then everything related to the case happened next to the piano…No, it looks like we'd better go to the piano room tonight to guard it, in case something happens again…"
"What? Do you want to go to the piano room?" Xiaolan was afraid.
……
Citizen Hall, piano room.
Uncle Mao Li looked at the corpse covered with a piece of cloth with a headache.""Seriously…this old policeman, does he have any common sense? He actually moved the corpse so casually and even took away the evidence score…This was simply destroying the scene!”
He could already imagine how depressed he would be when the police investigating the murder case arrived tomorrow.
He, Maori Kogoro, had clearly maintained the crime scene very well, but in the end, he encountered a police officer who was causing trouble…However, it seemed that it was useless to be depressed now. Anyway, it was already a mess.
Mori-san looked at the corpse carefully. When he saw the shirt on Kawashima Hideo's body, he felt a little strange."Eh? Why was there a hole in his clothes? Hmm…maybe someone accidentally broke it. Of course, rich people like him wouldn't wear clothes with holes in them…"
Conan held the music score and looked at the strange score on it. He frowned and pondered.
Xiao Lan had said that this should be the music score for Moonlight. However, it seemed that when Xiao Lan was playing the piano just now, a strange piece of music appeared. In Conan's deduction, the deceased Mr. Kawashima would definitely not have left such a music score. This music score must have been left behind by the murderer, and it must have been a message to others. The specific information should be in this strange piece of music…
Next to them, Shu Yunwen, Xiao Lan, and Doctor Cheng Shi spread out the supper they had bought and greeted them,""Everyone, you can come over and eat ~"
Uncle Mao Li and Conan sat down and started eating rice balls and vegetables.
As they chatted, Conan curiously asked about the death of the former village chief, Kameyama Isamu. Doctor Cheng Shi told the truth and pointed at the window."…If we're talking about the window that was opened at that time, I remember that it was this window…"
Shu Yunwen and the others looked at the window and saw a black shadow flash past.
Uncle Mao Li and Conan stood up at the same time." Who is it?!"
While they were talking, the sound of running came from outside the window. Uncle Mao Li and Conan had already pushed open the window and chased after him.
Shu Yunwen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Dr. Cheng Shi. He quickly walked to the window and chanted a witchcraft spell. Then, a spell flew toward the guy running in front.
Ghost Sorcery-Bad Luck!
This was the spell that Shu Yunwen could use to influence others.
It was pitch-black outside. Even if they chased after him, they might not be able to catch up…However, as long as this spell was used, they would be able to determine who the person tonight was the next day.
Shu Yunwen was still thinking about it when he suddenly heard an " Aiyo " sound from afar.
Xiao Lan hurriedly asked loudly from the window,""Daddy! Are you alright?"
"Sneaky fellow, I caught you now, right? " Hahaha…" Uncle Mao Li's smug voice came from afar. He then turned around and shouted," Xiaolan, don't worry, I'm fine!" The guy who escaped accidentally tripped and was captured by the famous detective, Maori Kogoro!”
Shu Yunwen's expression turned awkward.
Captured?
Was there such a plot in the original novel? Why didn't he remember?
Wait a minute, could it be that he had used the Misfortune on him, which was why he had fallen down and was caught…
"Did you catch him? Daddy, be careful." Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment before jumping out of the window.
Shu Yunwen thought for a moment and turned around." I'll go take a look too. You guys wait inside."”Then, he jumped out of the window.
On the beach not far away, Uncle Mao Li pressed down the person who had fallen on the beach and held his hands. Then, he laughed and said,"Come on! Let me see your true colors! Peeping outside the piano room at a time like this, you must be the one who killed Mr. Kawajima, am I right? Mr. Murderer!"
Conan turned on the light on his watch, and the dazzling light shone on the face of the person who was caught.
The man immediately shouted in horror,"No, I can't! It wasn't me! I'm not the murderer! I didn't kill anyone!"
" This voice is…" Xiaolan and Shu Yunwen both found the voice familiar.
Conan looked at the face with a solemn expression.
" Secretary Hirata Kazuaki…"
Was this the murderer?
[P.S. The case on Moon Shadow Island is really hard to write…]
[P.S. 2: I'll create a fake killer to mislead Conan…Sigh, is it really okay for me to do this?]
