In order not to disturb them from holding the memorial ceremony for the death anniversary of the former village chief Mr. Kameyama Isamu, the group had to wait outside the public hall. In order to maintain their strength, Mouri Kogoro just sat on the steps without knowing it. Those who didn't know thought he was here to guard the door.
of.
Edogawa Conan stole a glance at Xiaolan and made sure that her attention was not on him, then he ran to Takaji Sousuke, tugged on his trouser legs, and waited until he squatted down before whispering in his ear.
said:
"Brother Takaji, I played the piano just now and it felt a little weird."
"Huh? Can't you make a sound?" Yu Fujiwara, who knew nothing about music or musical instruments, tilted his head and asked doubtfully.
After all, in his opinion, an instrument that can produce sound is equal to a good instrument, and he has no idea about pitch.
The corner of Edogawa Conan's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Takaji-san didn't know anything about musical instruments. He had no choice but to explain in easy-to-understand terms:
"No, I mean the pitch. Logically speaking, a piano that has not been used for two years should have a buzzing sound, but when I played it, I found that the pitch of this piano is very accurate."
"You mean...someone tuned this piano?"
"That's right, I just don't know what the purpose of the tuner is. I always feel that this matter is not that simple, especially the commission letter sent to my uncle. Why did he use the name of Keiji Aso?" Jiang
Conan Togawa frowned, he had a vague feeling that something bad would happen.
Fujiwara Yu pursed his lips and did not answer. He knew that Moon Shadow Island was not simple, but from now on, he was not sure what the purpose of the person who sent the commission letter was.
He was not even sure whether Keiji Aso was related to the organization, or... whether this seemingly peaceful island hid some unknown and shocking secrets waiting for them to explore.
"Don't think so much now. After the ritual is over, go see the Black Rock Village Chief who was boycotted by the islanders."
"Well, that's all we can do."
Edogawa Conan was just about to sit down on the floor when he saw Sosuke Takaji squatting in front of the steps with a serious look on his face. He first sprayed the alcohol disinfectant that he carried with him on the steps. After taking down half the can, he took out a wet wipe.
Wipe it on top, and finally put a clean handkerchief on it.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. In sync with his expression, there was Mouri Kogoro who was sitting beside him and was so idle that he was in a panic. The whole family couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Mr. Takaji's mysophobia is really serious.
ah.
Fujiwara Yuko didn't care what others thought of his behavior, as long as he was happy. He sat on the steps and took out his headphones to play music, but the volume was not turned up very high to ensure that the conversations of the people around him could be heard.
For example, Maori Ran and Edogawa Conan were chatting about what they were going to eat for dinner, and another example was Maori Kogoro holding his mobile phone and tapping the screen constantly, and laughing like a maniac from time to time. I don't know what he was enjoying.
As time passed by, the sky gradually became darker. Fujiwara Yu raised his head and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky. Today was a very standard full moon night.
Just as he was staring at the moonlight in a daze, the melodious piano sound came from the public hall. He did not realize what the sound was at the first time. It was not until Edogawa Conan suddenly stood up that he realized that it was ""
Moonlight Sonata".
not good!
The police had an equally keen sense of smell for the case. Fujiwara Yu quickly stood up without even bothering to take away the handkerchief under his buttocks, and ran in different directions with his long legs. He knew that Kudo would directly open the door and enter the piano room.
, then he would go in through the back door near the beach. Maybe he would be lucky enough to bump into a suspicious person.
However, his idea was good, but his luck was not very good.
When he arrived at the back door, he didn't find any suspicious persons. He lowered his head and looked at the large amount of seawater mixed with fine sand in front of the door. There were also drag marks left by the seawater on the steps.
Fujiwara Yu followed the dragging traces and walked towards the beach. He noticed the black suit jacket washed up on the beach by the waves. Is this the victim's clothing? After taking out his mobile phone and taking photos of the physical evidence, he came to the door again.
He leaned over and inspected carefully, and found that there were no signs of being pried on.
And it's locked.
After confirming these things, he returned the same way and entered through the main entrance, pushing aside the residents of Moon Shadow Island who were blocking the door to participate in the ritual. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mouri Kogoro with a calm look on his face, picked up the tape recorder hidden inside the piano, and pressed
Pressing the pause button, he stared at the fussing man with his half-moon eyes and said with narrowed eyes:
"The sound of the piano is neither a ghost nor a curse, but the tape recorder. From this, it can be seen that the prisoner is imitating two previous cases. It is a planned murder case."
"Hey, hey, hey, can you please stop talking nonsense? By the way, who are you?" The tall man wearing a woolen hat and round-framed sunglasses frowned in displeasure, looked at Mouri Kogoro and asked
.
Mouri Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, cleared his throat, and said confidently:
"Are you asking me? I am the famous detective Mouri Kogoro from Tokyo!"
The people around stared at Mouri Kogoro for a long time, and then started whispering. It could be seen that they did not know Moori Kogoro, and had never even heard of such a figure in the detective world.
This made the confident Mouri Kogoro a little embarrassed. He noticed Takaji Sousuke in the crowd and quickly waved:
"Officer Takaji, where did you run to just now?"
"I went to the beach and took a look." Fujiwara Yu's eyes fell on the drag marks of sea water on the floor. He smiled and handed his mobile phone to Edogawa Conan, indicating to him to look at the photos he took, and continued: "The victim
After being attacked at the beach, he was dragged all the way into the house by the murderer, so it is very likely that there was sea water on his body."
"Really? Then when the local police arrive, they will have to check the people participating in the ceremony!" Kogoro Mouri glanced suspiciously at the guys in black clothes and said righteously.
Fujiwara Yu glanced at Asai Narumi, who was conducting a preliminary autopsy, and his eyes fell on the seawater stained on her sleeves. He approached calmly and asked aloud:
"How did the examination go, Dr. Asai?"
"Based on my preliminary judgment, the time of death should be thirty minutes to an hour ago. The cause of death was suffocation. I think he was probably drowned."
Fujiwara Yu did not rush to answer, but inspected Kawashima Hideo's body. After reaching a conclusion consistent with Asai Narumi, he nodded and said:
"The eyelids are wrinkled, the small blood vessels in the alveolar walls are ruptured and bleeding, there are traces of red foam in front of the mouth and nose, and the hair follicles on the back and top of the head are damaged. It should be caused by the murderer pulling the victim's hair and pushing it into the water. From the above points
To judge, the possibility of drowning is indeed the highest. Dr. Asai has the ability to be a coroner."
However, Naomi Asai, who was praised, did not show any joy. Instead, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Fujiwara Yu, who successfully captured this abnormality, still maintained an indifferent expression and pretended not to have seen it.
"Officer Eagle is joking, I'm just trying to do my job in front of an excellent police officer."
"Doctor Asai is really humble. Go and take care of your cuffs. It should be very uncomfortable when your clothes are wet."
After Fujiwara Yu watched Asai Narumi leave, he turned around and saw Edogawa Conan squatting in front of the recorder. He reached out and took his cell phone from his hand, leaned over and asked:
