After some investigation, Maori Kogoro pointed at the piano and said to the people around him,""The murderer dragged the drowned Mr. Kawashima to this beach. He must have wanted to shift the attention of this matter to the curse of the piano. Do any of you know when this pianist started here?”
Hirata, who was standing at the door, said to Maori Kogoro,""This piano was given to me by Mr. Aso Keito fifteen years ago. It has been here ever since.”
"So it's Mr. Masheng's thing.”Maori Kogoro was a little surprised.
"Yes, and his name is on the piano cover.”Hirata pointed at the piano.
"I see!" Maori Kogoro walked over to check the piano cover and found something surprising.
"Eh? This is…the score? No one was using the piano anymore. What was the meaning of putting a score?”
Just as Maori Kogoro said this, a man with a spiky head and an ugly expression cried out in fear and ran out.
"Who is that guy?" Maori Kogoro asked in confusion.”
Hirata explained to Maori Kogoro,""He is Mr. Nishimoto, a very powerful man who spent a lot of money on women, alcohol, and gambling. However, after the previous village chief died two years ago, he seemed to be afraid of something and rarely went out. It was said that he was the village chief's childhood playmate.”
At this moment, Xiaolan walked forward and said to Maori Kogoro,""Dad, the police officer is here."
"You're only here now."
The police officer of Moon Shadow Island looked very old. His hair was all white.
The old policeman walked to the middle of the room.
"May I ask what exactly happened?”
Hirata extended his hand and introduced,""This gentleman here is Maori Kogoro.”
The old policeman rushed over and shouted excitedly,"You're that famous…"
Seeing the police officer looking at him with admiration, Maori Kogoro said excitedly," That's right, it's me, it's me."”
"You're that famous…astronaut?”
Maori Kogoro rubbed his head in disappointment.
"Please. There's a dead person here. I hope you can maintain the scene. It's your job.”
"I see. I understand. Leave it to me.”
Maori Kogoro found that the people of Moon Shadow Island were still very uncooperative about Aso Keiji's matter. Since the police were here, he would leave the matter to the police. Moreover, it was already very late. There was no use for everyone to stay here, so he asked everyone to go back.
The villagers who left discussed animatedly.
"What murder! It must be Aso Keiji's soul!”
"That's right! In that case, that piano was too unlucky.”
"That's right! He might as well burn such an unlucky thing.”
"Alright, I'll burn it in a few days!”
The people from the Citizen's Hall went back one after another. Only Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan, Conan, Yukiko, the old policeman, and Ye Fan were left in the Citizen's Hall.
Maori Kogoro shook his head and said disappointedly,""I have no choice but to rest in the Citizen Hall tonight.”
Xiaolan comforted Maori Kogoro,"It's okay, Dad." There are long stools in the citizen hall, and we can sleep on them.”
"I've wronged you, Xiaolan."
Maori Kogoro suddenly noticed Yukiko.
"Eh…this beautiful lady is…Akiko, Akiko, why are you here?”
"I heard that Shinichi hurt Xiaolan, so I came here to apologize to you, Mr. Maori. I hope you can forgive Shinichi.”
"Sigh…Forget it. My daughter will handle her own matters. It's useless for you to look for me. He thought that he was lucky enough to meet a beautiful lady tonight, but he didn't expect that there would be an annoying fellow like Xi Zi. What a disappointment.”
Maori Kogoro stretched his back and walked out of the piano room. He found a bench and slept.
After hearing Maori Kogoro's words, several black lines appeared in Akiko's head, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"Damned Maori Kogoro!"
"Aunty Yukiko, where's Shinichi?" Xiaolan asked after some hesitation.”
"Eh?"
Akiko stammered and could not think of a good reason for a long time. " Shinichi suddenly had something to do," he said with an awkward smile." He'll go back first."”
"Oh, I see."
Xiao Lan nodded and didn't say anything else. The reason why Xiaolan asked about Akiko was purely because the kind-hearted Xiaolan was worried that Shinichi would be in danger. Even though Xiaolan had decided to ignore Shinichi, she couldn't completely ignore him. After all, they had grown up together.
Conan's heart ached when he saw that Xiaolan no longer cared about him as much as before. He wanted to tell Xiaolan that he was Shinichi and that he had been accompanying her all this while. However, he could not do that for Xiaolan's safety. Moreover, even if he did this, he would not be able to make up for the mistakes he had made before and salvage this relationship.
Ye Fan looked at Conan's uncomfortable expression and smiled slightly. "Xiaolan, let's go rest too."”
"Yes."
Xiao Lan snuggled in Ye Fan's arms and was very at ease. She felt that even if the sky fell, Ye Fan would help her hold it.
The two of them sat on a long chair. Xiao Lan lay in Ye Fan's arms and fell asleep.
Conan silently watched Ye Fan and Xiao Lan love each other. His heart was extremely sour. No matter how many lemons he ate, it wouldn't be as sour as it was now.
When Arisu Niko saw Conan's miserable appearance, she sighed and picked him up.
Conan, it's time to sleep."
"Hey, let go of me. I'm not a child!”
Conan jumped down from Yukiko's arms and found a place to sleep alone.
