On the dark path, except for the four Mouri Kogoro, there was no one else, and the only sound around them was the sound of four people walking in unsynchronized fashion.
Mixed in with the footsteps was the whispered conversation of a pair of elementary school students lagging behind the Maori father and daughter.
"Hey, Shirai, why did you just say those words to Dr. Asai? Did you see anything?"
Shiraijiu opened his mouth, and in the increasingly ominous atmosphere, he swallowed the words "Because the murderer is Asai Makoto" and said expressionlessly: "No, I'm just reminding you to pay attention to disguise."
Conan:……
This woman feels uncomfortable if she doesn’t say anything sarcastic, right?
Conan carefully looked at Moori Kogoro and Xiaolan walking in front, and then lowered his voice: "I have it!"
Shiraijiu:……
I don’t know how to complain anymore.
Fortunately, although Conan felt that Shiraijiu did not confess to him what she meant by what she said to Dr. Asai before, based on Shiraijiu's behavior for a long time, Conan was used to it and was too lazy to ask again. Instead, he thought about it in his mind.
Now, he has other things to "talk" with Shiraijiu.
"Shirai, do you also think that letter is strange now?" Conan slightly increased his volume so that his words sounded like a discussion between children.
Conan thinks very well. If he is the only one with excellent reasoning ability, he will be different from other children. But if Shirai is added to it, it will give people a feeling of "Ah, so the children nowadays are so smart."
"Ah". In this way, with Shiraijiu's cooperation, his reminder to Mouri Kogoro would not seem so blunt.
Moreover, it is his consistent usage to remind Mouri Kogoro through the conversation between two people, which is very useful.
"..." Shiraiji glanced sideways at Conan, took a deep breath, and asked curiously with an expressionless face and no fluctuation in his tone: "Ah, what's weird?"
"..." Are you curious here?
Forget it, it's great that Shirai is willing to cooperate, and Conan is easily satisfied.
Conan glanced at Kogoro Mori who was eavesdropping and breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, the purpose has been achieved.
Conan began to explain to Shiraijiu in a long explanation: "Do you still remember the content of that letter? [On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island.]. Among them, [the disappearance of shadows] is actually caused by the light.
A metaphor of surrounding, and that [light] is just the song "Moonlight" that was played just now in the community center where Mr. Kawashima was killed!"
"And this letter was sent from this island in advance to Maori. Doesn't this seem like a warning of murder?"
Before Shiraijiu could say anything, Mouri Kogoro, who was eavesdropping from the front, exploded: "What?! The murderer has already predicted this murder?! By sending this letter?!"
Immediately afterwards, Mouri Kogoro began to ponder again: "Indeed, the pianist Aso who burned himself at home twelve years ago played in the raging fire the same as the former village chief Kameyama who died of a heart attack two years ago.
Yong, what he played before his death was Beethoven's "Moonlight". [The shadow disappears] It makes sense to use "Moonlight" as a metaphor..."
"So, the reappearance of this song could mean that the death of a celebrity is happening again...?"
Xiaolan, who was listening briefly on the sidelines, also understood the seriousness of the matter. When she saw Kogoro, who had already taken out the letter and studied it again while thinking, he glanced at the words on the letter, and a not-so-good guess suddenly came to his mind.
: "Dad, look, at the top of the letter, in this sentence, there are two words [beginning]..."
Mouri Kogoro also began to have a bad premonition: "Could it be that... this is a hint that... this murder incident is the beginning?!"
When Bai Jingjiu heard this, his heart ached.
The liquor hasn’t woken up yet…
How much resentment will she miss this time...
Even though he is a puppet, why is there still a feeling of angina pectoris coming from his body...
Over there, Mouri Kogoro could no longer stand, and he grabbed the letter and said, "Damn it! It turns out that this letter is a challenge written by the murderer against my famous detective Moori Kogoro!"
After that, Mouri Kogoro turned around and ran back: "You three go to the hotel first! I'm going to the community activity center where the piano is placed!!"
"Huh?!" Mao Lilan was surprised: "Go to the community activity center?! It's so late?!"
"The three cases so far all occurred next to the piano! So if this matter is not over, then there is a high possibility that the next case will appear next to the piano again!" In order not to worry his daughter, Kogoro Mori hurriedly
He explained something and then immediately ran away.
but……
After explaining this, wouldn't Xiaolan be even more worried?
"Wait a minute..."
Xiaolan wanted to say something else, but was immediately interrupted by Conan: "Sister Xiaolan, please call the hotel later to confirm the room. It's important to solve the case. Let's go to the activity center together!!"
"..." Xiaolan lowered her head and looked at Conan with a serious face, hesitating, "But, Xiaojiu..."
As Xiao Lan finished her words, both Mao Lilan and Conan turned to look at Shirai Jiu.
After several previous accidents, Shiraijiu finally engraved his frail and sickly image into the DNA of the two of them, so this time, even Conan reacted quickly and looked at the pale Shiraijiu worriedly.
"Shirai, you..."
Conan was a little confused.
It is impossible for Shirai to go back to the hotel to rest alone, and everyone will not be relieved. Even if Xiaolan is included, they are still two girls, and there may be a serial murderer in this village, Conan
Also worried.
But... if the three of them go back to the hotel together... At the activity center, Conan is even more worried and wants to go there with Mouri Kogoro to guard it - if something really happens, like Uncle Mouri,
What useful clues can you find? How can you solve the case without him?
Shiraijiu, who was stared at by two pairs of eyes:...
Xiaolan won't say anything anymore, Conan, why are you staring at her with those complicated eyes? Those who don't know think there is some kind of love and hatred between the two, just stare at Xiaolan.
Bai Jingjiu's face turned pale: "I'm fine, let's go together."
Oops, Shirai was so cooperative, and Conan suddenly felt guilty.
But as expected, it is better to solve the case quickly and catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest in peace!
Conan took a deep breath, patted Shiraijiu heavily on the shoulder, and then everyone ran towards the community activity center following Moori Kogoro.
Of course, Shiraijiu used his own Heelys shoes as always. Compared with the three of Mouri Kogoro who were panting and running, it was countless times easier.
