"Sone Hisao, yesterday he accidentally fell due to an accident while flying a paraglider and drowned... He is the first graduate of Domoto Academy."
In the living room, the voice of the Memu Police Department sounded. Sitting opposite him were Mouri Kogoro and his daughter, Yuan Huaiyu and Pendant Conan.
"I remember he seemed to be a viola player...wait a minute, Domoto Academy, could it be..."
Mouri Kogoro thought of something, sat up straight and looked at the Megure Police Department seriously.
"Yes, as you think, Mr. Mori, he was a student of the same class as Mizuguchi Yosuke, Renjo Takehiko, who were killed in the Domoto Conservatory of Music bombing last week, and the bar owner Shida Satoshi, who was killed in the bombing the day before yesterday. And I heard that they
The relationship between them is quite good, and they often formed a piano quartet in the past few years..."
Next to Megure Police Department, Shiratori Rensaburo nodded slightly, confirming the suspicion in Mouri Kogoro's mind.
"Then since the Metropolitan Police Department will link these two incidents... it means that the scene where Sone Hisao died should also have found something that appeared in the previous two scenes, right?"
Yuan Huaiyu leaned on the soft sofa and yawned.
"For example, the headpiece of a flute?"
Megure Police Department nodded: "As you expected. From the prefectural police station where the incident occurred, we learned that the wing of the parachute used by Sone Hisao had traces of small cracks cut by a knife..."
Takagi, who was standing aside, added: "And under the seat of his car, the last part of the flute, which is the head tube, was found."
Yuan Huaiyu shrugged: "If you ask me, this guy is really big-hearted. The murderer would choose them to commit serial murders. Obviously there must be some internal connection between these four people. In the case of the death of several others
, why not go and do paragliding in the sea? Isn’t this obviously providing opportunities for prisoners to take advantage of them?”
"Ahem..." Police Department Mu Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, and said it was true, but he was still making excuses for the deceased, "Maybe it's because he didn't see the news..."
"Anyway, if you don't check your paragliding equipment carefully before playing this kind of extreme sport, it looks like it will be short-lived. In fact, it doesn't matter." Yuan Huaiyu spread his hands.
"Uh...then since we have gathered the flutes, does that mean the serial murder case is over?"
Mouri Kogoro felt the vague aggression in Yuanhuaiyu's words, coughed twice quickly, and changed the topic to the serial murder case itself.
"We can't be sure. We can only hope that the murderer will stop."
Police Chief Megure sighed.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and turned his gaze to Yuan Huaiyu: "By the way, Teacher Yuan, about the thermos bottle you brought from the Metropolitan Police Department the day before yesterday..."
Officer Sato responded: "There are highly irritating drugs in the thermos bottle. It doesn't look like a prank."
Everyone else nodded. As the concert was approaching, if Reiko Akiba really drank tea containing irritating ingredients, her throat would be destroyed on the spot, and she would not be able to perform at the concert.
"If we start from the most basic motive, this prisoner probably doesn't want Miss Akinewa Reiko to attend the inauguration concert of Domoto Concert Hall..." Officer Shiratori seemed to have the target of suspicion, with a confident smile between his eyebrows.
Conan promptly complimented: "Then if Miss Qiu Ting is unable to appear at the concert, who will take her place?"
"It should be Chigusa Lala... She is also the first candidate for the original soprano singer. She is also the ninth graduate of Domoto Conservatory of Music and a student of Mr. Domoto."
The Shiratori Police Department has obviously conducted relevant investigations and is quite familiar with the situation behind this.
"However, Ms. Kawabe Souko, who was one of the performers at the beginning, was the one who was seriously injured in the explosion last week. However, she strongly recommended Akiba Reiko, who she had always hoped to cooperate with, so we decided to invite Ms. Akiba to participate."
Officer Sato sighed softly: "We also suspected that Miss Reiko Akita was related to the victims in the four serial murder cases, but we still couldn't find any useful information."
"Domoto Conservatory of Music... everyone is more or less related to Domoto Conservatory of Music. But I don't know what the connection is..."
The Mumu Police Department rubbed his forehead with a headache - murders occurred one after another, but their Metropolitan Police Department was somewhat helpless. The investigation they launched failed to find even a single clue to the murderer.
Similarly, this also confirms another speculation: the murderer planned this series of serial murders and must have planned them carefully for a long time before finally executing them.
"If we look at the motives, is it possible that the only person who might have the intention to attack Miss Akita Reiko is Miss Chigusa Lala for the time being?"
An innocent voice sounded from the side. Conan finally couldn't hold himself back and participated in the discussion.
"That's the case at the moment... But for Ms. Kawabe Kanoko who was seriously injured in the explosion, in fact, besides Chigusa Lala, there are two other people who have certain motives for committing the crime."
Officer Shiratori said seriously.
"First of all, Ms. Yamane Shione, who is the backup for Ms. Kawabe Sōko. If she can stand out at Domoto's concert, she may become a world-class performer..."
It is not impossible for fame and fortune... Mouri Kogoro nodded: "What about the other person?"
"It's the organizer of Domoto's concert, Mr. Ichiwa Domoto. He was originally more optimistic about Miss Yamane Shione, but he chose Miss Riverside because he liked her Stradivarius violin."
The more Officer Shiratori spoke, the more confident he became. In his opinion, as long as he investigates these three people in depth, he will definitely gain something.
"Let me ask more."
At this time, Yuan Huaiyu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone else's attention.
"In the first bombing case, the explosives should have been some distance away from Ms. Souko by the river, right? Otherwise, the other two people would not have died on the spot but she was only seriously injured."
"Yes, just as you thought. The explosive was placed under the piano, and Miss Riverside was a little far away from the center of the explosion."
Officer Takagi replied immediately.
"Is that a special piano?"
Conan tilted his head, looking very confused.
Shiratiao was stunned: "Huh? No, that piano is nothing special, right? Why do you ask that?"
"Because when Conan followed me to that place before, I saw Mr. Pu and Takumi taking back the blown piano pieces. It seemed that he was quite reluctant to part with them, so Conan must have found it strange."
