"Well, if you want to see the village chief, Mr. Kuroiwa Tatsuji, you should be able to see him at the community activity center." Asai Narumi said, "Not just him, the three people I just mentioned should be at the activity center at this time.
~"
From the perspective of a disguise master, Asai Narimi's demeanor and tone have been imitated so well that Yukiko Kudo may not even be able to see his true gender in front of him.
Mouri Kogoro was confused: "Why?"
"Why? Because the second anniversary of the death of former village chief Kameyama Isamu will be held there tonight."
The Maori trio all showed confused expressions: "Former village chief, second anniversary celebration?"
What a coincidence that they came at the right time.
Huh? Could it be that the person pretending to be Keiji Aso actually wanted them to investigate the cause of death of Isamu Kameyama?
"Um, let me ask you, Miss Asai." Kogoro Mouri asked, "Do Keiji Aso and Isamu Kameyama have a good relationship?"
Asai Narumi was stunned when he heard this: "Aso, Aso Keiji?"
"Oh, Dad, you will definitely not know if you ask Dr. Asai. She also just came here to be a doctor, and Kei Aso died more than 20 years ago." Mao Lilan reminded her father in a low voice.
But Narumi Asai laughed: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I have heard of Mr. Aso's name. I heard from the villagers that he seemed to have been a great pianist."
"I'm afraid he is mentally unhealthy, right?" Mouri Kogoro tried to explain Aso Keiji's behavior of dragging his wife and daughter to self-immolation from a medical perspective. "Does Tsukikage Island Clinic have any records in this regard?"
Asai Narumi's facial expression stiffened for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "Well... I haven't discovered it yet. None of the islanders really want to talk about it, so I don't know much about the specific situation." "Well, that's such a pity."
While they were talking, they had already walked to the community activity center.
Before even stepping into the room, I could already clearly hear the shouts coming from inside——
"Oppose the autocratic atrocities of the current village chief!!"
"Stop land grabbing!!"
"Give me a clean fishing ground!!"
The shouts grew louder and louder. Except for the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the other two candidates seemed to have many fans who supported them.
The village chief is the biggest official on Moon Shadow Island. If the famous detective Mouri Kogoro wants to see the village chief, he has to sit obediently in the activity center and wait.
Mao Lilan saw Yu Jiang coming with them and asked strangely: "Teacher Qingshui, aren't you going to go for a walk on the beach?"
"Such a rare excitement is in vain if you don't see it." Yu Jiang replied matter-of-factly.
Mao Lilan's eyes widened in shock, and she almost thought she was hallucinating.
It’s really not like the serious math teacher in class could say this.
Yujie and Mouri Kogoro waited for a long time at the activity center, and the village chief had no intention of seeing them. When he got bored of waiting, Yujie took a walk near the activity center.
As luck would have it, the place where he was walking happened to be right outside the auditorium, and the village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji was talking with his subordinates here.
On a remote island like Tsukikage Island, the sound insulation effect of the buildings is not very good, so all the voices of Kuroiwa Tatsuji fell into Ikue's ears, even if he didn't want to hear them.
"Damn it, you singled out the former village chief to do trouble on this day. It's so rude!"
"What disgusting guys! Hirata! What are you doing standing there? Why don't you shut up those guys quickly!!"
"Yes, yes, Miss!"
"I just asked a few villagers for their opinions, and it seems that your father is not very favored this time."
"Week, Monday?"
"Yes, the candidate with the most support from the people this time is none other than me!"
At first, people in the Kuroiwa Tatsuji camp were worried about the public opinion outside, and then another candidate also joined their conversation.
Yujiang saw that the man was well-dressed and guessed that he must be Hideo Kawashima, the richest man in Yueying Island.
"Village Chief, there is a gentleman who wants to see you." The secretary came back with a request from Mouri Kogoro to see the village chief. "He is a detective from Tokyo."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the identity of Mouri Kogoro, Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the lady next to him showed frightened expressions, and broke out in cold sweat: "Detective, detective?!!"
Hmm?
Yu Jiang glanced at them one more time.
Generally speaking, people who are afraid of detectives have ulterior motives. They have either done something embarrassing and are afraid of being found out by detectives, or they have committed illegal crimes and are afraid that detectives will find clues.
Is this Kuroiwa Tatsuji someone related to the organization?
Yujiang was thinking when he suddenly heard Kuroiwa Tatsuji shouting: "Who is there?!"
Yu Jiang suddenly shivered.
"Hirata! Go to the piano room and have a look!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji ordered hurriedly.
Yujiang breathed a sigh of relief.
That is to say, his tracking technology is not easy to deal with these guys. How could he be noticed by these people?
Just in time when everyone in the room was distracted by the movement in the piano room, Yu Jiang returned to the activity center along the same path.
Mouri, Kogoro and the other three were no longer here. Yujiang walked forward along the corridor and soon saw a group of people.
"No, it's not just Mr. Aso's incident!" Hirata Kazaki, the village chief's secretary, explained to Mouri Kogoro in a panic, "A similar thing happened to the previous village chief."
Mouri Kogoro was confused: "The former village chief? Is he the one who will hold the ceremony tonight?"
"Yes. It happened two years ago, and it was also a full moon night." When mentioning what happened two years ago, Hirata Kazuaki was still frightened.
"At that time, I happened to pass by the community activity center. There was a pleasant sound of the piano coming from the activity center that was supposed to be empty at the time. When I asked who was inside, the gin suddenly stopped.
"I walked in curiously and saw that the head of Guishan Village was lying on the piano and had expired. The cause of death was a heart attack."
It was clearly daytime, but there was a layer of gloom on Hirata Kazuaki's face, which looked a little scary: "What's even more frightening is that the song Kameyama Village Chief played before he died... was Aso twelve years ago.
Beethoven's "Moonlight" that Keiji played repeatedly in the fire!!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had goosebumps all over their bodies.
"So, can Mayor Guishan know how to play the piano?" Yu Jiang suddenly poured a basin of cold water on the side.
Hirata Kazaki was stunned: "Yes, it should be...actually I don't know, I have never seen Kameyama Village Chief playing the piano before."
"That means there is someone else playing the piano. This is just the result of his pretense. It would not be surprising if the mayor of Kameyama can play the piano. Maybe he just thought of Keiji Aso who also played Moonlight ten years ago." Yue's analysis can be called rational, but why does he think Mouri Kogoro and the others prefer ghost legends?
