At this moment, the beautiful sound of the piano pierced through the quiet night sky. The sudden sound of the piano attracted everyone's attention.
"Eh?" Akiko pointed at him and said. This is…This is the moonlight of van der Beveten?”
"Oh no!" Conan immediately jumped down from Yukiko's arms.
"What's wrong, Conan?"
Akiko looked at Conan strangely.
"This is the sound coming from the piano room downstairs. Something must have happened. Let's hurry over.”
The three of them went downstairs and found that everyone had followed the melodious piano music to the door of the piano room. The people who had been attending the ritual had already gathered around, but no one dared to open the door. Because this song was a terrifying curse.
Conan rushed over and pushed the door open.
The situation in the room was reflected in everyone's eyes.
A man in a white shirt and black pants was lying on the piano. It was Kawashima. He was drenched.
What was even more frightening was that no one was playing, but the sound of the piano was still coming out.
There were also water stains on the ground.
When Xiaolan saw Kawashima's miserable state, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and leaned against someone.
Xiaolan, don't be afraid."
Xiao Lan turned around and found that it was Ye Fan. Xiao Lan hugged Ye Fan and said excitedly,"Ye Fan, that's great. You're here.”
Ye Fan stroked Xiao Lan's long hair and said,"Sorry, I'm late."”
Youxi saw this and felt a sour feeling in his heart for some reason. What is this? This little brat, she wanted me to be her woman one step ago, and now she's looking for another woman.
"Eh? Isn't there Auntie Xi?"
Xiao Lan was surprised to see Youxi. She never expected Youxi to appear here.
"Hi, Xiaolan. Xiaolan, isn't your boyfriend Shinichi? How could she hug another boy?”
Xiao Lan let go of Ye Fan in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Arisu. I'm no longer in contact with Shinichi.”
"How can that be? Is there some misunderstanding between the two of you?”
" No, Shinichi is always used to disappearing in front of my eyes without considering my feelings at all. I've had enough of this feeling. Instead of always worrying about him, it was better to forget him completely.”
"Xiaolan…"
Youxi looked at Xiaolan apologetically. Xiaolan was not to be blamed for being taken away by Ye Fan. Shinichi was clearly courting death!
Was it really impossible between Shinichi and Xiaolan? No, there was still a chance. If I can make Ye Fan completely infatuated with me, perhaps Ye Fan will give up on Xiao Lan.
Thinking of this, Akiko quickly shook her head.
What am I thinking? Shinichi might be my son, but I don't have to do this for him.
Just as Arisu Xizi was letting her imagination run wild, a terrified cry came from inside the house.
"Curse, this is a curse! Is this the curse of the piano?"
Hirata shouted as he pointed at the piano in horror.
Maori Kogoro looked at Hirata with dissatisfaction."You bastard, get out quickly. Don't destroy the crime scene. Can any of you contact the police on the island?”
Narumi Asai said to Maori Kogoro,""I've already called the police."
Maori Kogoro glanced at Asai Narumi.
"So it's Dr. Asai. Can you help with the autopsy?”
"No problem." Kazumi Asai responded and walked over to prepare for the autopsy.
" It's a curse! It's a curse!"
Hirata was still yelling.
"What curse?"
Maori Kogoro sneered and took out a tape recorder from behind the piano.
"It wasn't the piano that made the sound, but the recorder!”
Maori Kogoro stopped the recorder, and the piano music that echoed in the air finally stopped.
"Judging from this incident and the incident two years ago, this is a planned murder.”
Maori Kogoro's words shocked everyone. A man wearing a hat and sunglasses, who was Miss Kuroiwa's fiancé, Mr. Murazawa, said," Don't talk about nonsense. Murder." Also, who are you?"
Maori Kogoro confidently adjusted his suit."I'm a famous detective from Tokyo, Maori Kogoro.”
"Oh? A space pilot?"
Maori Kogoro almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, another person in the crowd said,"No, he's not a space pilot. He's from a mystery novel, right?”
"No, the person you're talking about is called Mingzhi.”
"Oh, I see. Then who is this person?"
Maori Kogoro fell onto the piano after receiving a heavy blow…
Conan didn't pay attention to Kazumi Asai, who was doing the autopsy. Instead, he focused on the water stains beside the corpse. He reached out his finger and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
"Salty? It's seawater!"
Conan instinctively looked out of the window and was shocked to see a coat floating in the sea! It was Mr. Kawashima.
"It seems that the murderer drowned in the sea.”
Kazumi Asai quickly came up with the preliminary autopsy results and said,""The estimated time of death is between thirty minutes and an hour. The cause of death is suffocation. I think Mr. Kawashima drowned in the sea, but I can't make a conclusion without dissecting him.”
Maori Kogoro rubbed his chin.”
Conan turned around and said," Uncle, I think Sister Narumi is right. Come and take a look!" There's a coat in the sea! That must be Mr. Kawashima's jacket!”
"A jacket?"
"Yes, and look, there's water from the door to the piano, isn't there? It was obvious that it was dragged from the beach. Moreover, Mr. Kawashima's back was also stained with sand. Judging from the fact that the door or window was closed and locked, the first few minutes of the recording should be blank.”
Maori Kogoro looked at Conan with a strange expression.
"Stinky brat, move aside.”
Conan ignored Maori Kogoro and continued,""The murderer should have brought Mr. Kawashima to the beach during the ritual and drowned him. Then, he moved the body to this room, locked it, pressed the switch of the recorder, and walked out of the room to the corridor.”
"Ah, yes!" Maori Kogoro nodded. He felt that Conan's words made sense.
Maori Kogoro coughed lightly and deduced,""If the door of this room is locked, and we were all at the entrance just now, so according to my judgment, the possibility of the murderer returning to the ritual venue after committing the crime is quite high.”
"Wait a minute!" Upon hearing Maori Kogoro's words, a short-haired woman who seemed to be Mr. Kuroiwa's daughter hurriedly said,""Wait a minute, do you mean that the murderer is among us?”
" That's right, the murderer is in this room," Maori Kogoro said seriously,""Well then. Did anyone see Mr. Kawashima leave his seat in the middle of the ritual?”
At this moment, Village Chief Hei Yan noticed Conan.
Why did this brat come out on his own? Forget it, let's ignore him for now. Anyway, those two young men were dead and could not testify.
The village chief's heart sank and he left the scene.
You Xi Zi whispered to Ye Fan,"The Black Rock Village Chief has appeared. Should we capture him?"”
Ye Fan replied,"There's no hurry. We'll talk when the police arrive."”
