Chapter 243 Don’t mislead the investigation direction casually.
The only person who supports Yu Jiang’s theory is Conan, the youngest person outside.
Conan climbed onto the piano bench and started playing directly. While playing, he said: "This piano is nothing special..."
His move made Hirata Kazaki jump, and he quickly pushed everyone out of the piano room.
"Anyway, I'd rather trouble you to wait here before the ceremony ends."
Looking at this posture, it is impossible for them to see the village chief in a short time.
Mouri Kogoro sighed and had no choice but to accept this reality.
As they were walking out, they suddenly met Naomi Asai, who was wearing black mourning clothes. There was also a kind-faced man beside her who seemed easy to get along with.
The two chatted happily and seemed to have a good relationship.
"Hey, Miss Narumi, why are you here?" Mao Lilan was very happy to see Asai Narumi.
Asai Narumi also laughed: "Ah, I happened to meet Mr. Shimizu on the road, so we came together."
"Hello, I am Masato Shimizu, please give me your advice!" Village chief candidate Masato Shimizu greeted Mao Lilan very kindly. At least in terms of attitude, he performed much better than the other two.
After Masato Shimizu entered the auditorium, Narumi Asai explained: "Mr. Kameyama was the first deceased person I inspected after coming to this island, so I came here to pay homage to him."
"That's it..."
Forensic medicine and doctors are two completely different professions, but on Moon Shadow Island, where resources and talents are scarce, Asai seems to have to wear multiple hats.
The memorial service began soon, and Ikue and Mouri Kogoro stood outside the activity center to enjoy the cold wind.
Mao Lilan always felt embarrassed for involving Yu Jiang for nothing, so she took this opportunity to apologize to him specifically: "I'm really sorry for affecting Teacher Qingshui's mood during the trip."
"Don't take it to heart, I took the initiative to participate because I was interested in what happened on Yueying Island." Yu Jiang smiled slightly at Mao Lilan, "Compared to the natural scenery that can be seen everywhere, the interpersonal and life on Yueying Island
It is the most precious souvenir of travel."
Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
They soon started chatting about the customs and customs of Yueying Island.
Conan sat on the other side of Mouri Kogoro, with an uncle between him and Mouri Lan. He tried his best to look in Mouri Lan's direction, but he was blocked by the uncle every time.
Ah, really, I really want to know what those two people were talking about!
Suddenly!
A melodious piano music floated from the activity center.
Just the beginning made Conan's face change drastically.
Too bad!
It's "Moonlight"!!
At this time, he finally understood what the sender meant by "shadows continue to disappear" in the letter. He wanted to kill someone!!
Conan ran in the direction of the sound, followed closely by Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro. Even the villagers who were paying tribute in the auditorium came out to check the situation.
Only Yujiang is still hanging lazily at the back.
Is that Aso Minori finally going to take action?
Should he take this opportunity to visit Murakami's archives?
Yu Jiang quickly rejected his idea.
No, with Kudo Shinichi here, it would be better for him to act alone in the middle of the night.
When Yu Jiang arrived at the piano room, a large group of people had already gathered here, except for Hideo Kawashima.
At the request of Kogoro Mori, Asai Narumi is doing the most basic superficial examination of the corpse.
"The curse of that piano must be causing trouble again!!" Hirata Kazuaki turned pale, pointed at the piano and said tremblingly.
"What a curse, nonsense!" Mouri Kogoro took out a radio from the piano, held it in front of Hirata Kazaki, and said loudly, "You see clearly! The sound of the piano came from the radio!
"In other words, there is no curse at all. Someone clearly deliberately connected this incident with the two previous deaths. This is a carefully planned murder!!"
When it comes to serious matters, Mouri Kogoro still possesses a kind of serious contagion.
At his call, the police were called, the bodies were inspected, and the crime scene suddenly became orderly.
Conan followed the traces under the piano and quietly walked to the back door.
Well, here?
"This leads to the seaside, as mentioned in the guide I made before."
Yu Jiang quietly appeared next to Conan and said quietly.
Conan looked up at him with a deep gaze: "Teacher Qingshui, didn't you just buy a boat ticket to come to Yueying Island? When did you make a guide in advance?"
"Huh? Are you questioning me?"
"It's not a question, it's just a level of curiosity. It doesn't matter even if you don't answer."
"I wish I could answer your confusion, but...I don't want to."
Conan: "..."
This was the first time he encountered a wall in asking questions.
On the other side, Asai Narumi has already made a judgment on the time of death: "Based on the body spots and the degree of stiffness of the body, the time of death should be 30-60 minutes ago.
"Furthermore, there was internal bleeding in the deceased's eyes. At first glance, it looked like he had died of suffocation. But there were no signs of swelling on his face, and there were no marks of strangulation on his neck..."
"He drowned." Conan said loudly.
His words attracted the attention of everyone in the piano room.
Those glances were not friendly, and obviously most people regarded it as a child's joke.
Conan quickly threw away the blame in embarrassment: "Well, this is what Brother Qingshui said. He told me that the deceased must have been dragged up after drowning, because there are still traces of sea water on the floor."
Yu Jiang quickly proved his innocence: "I'm not, I didn't."
Conan was aggressive and didn't give Yu Jiang any chance to make excuses. He pointed out the window and said, "Brother Qingshui also told me that Mr. Kawashima's clothes were floating on the sea, so he must have drowned in the sea."
"Oh, that's it."
"I think what this gentleman said makes sense."
"Ahem, I didn't expect Teacher Qingshui to have the talent for reasoning."
Yu Jiang: "..."
No, why do you believe whatever Kudo Shinichi says?
Didn’t anyone hear his denial just now?!
"The door leading to the seaside is locked, and there are a few minutes of blank space intentionally left in the tape. The murderer should have transported the body into this room, set up the tape recorder, and then escaped through the front door."
After Conan analyzed it, he didn't forget to add, "Brother Qingshui said it all."
The layout of the activity center is as follows——
【Dharma Ceremony Venue...】【Steel】
【Main entrance】【Corridor.】【Qin】
【Warehouse】【Bathroom】【Room】
Mouri Kogoro nodded frequently: "But if that's the case, we have been at the main entrance and haven't seen anyone pass by. Could it be that..."
"Yes, it's just what uncle thought."
"Could it be that the murderer escaped through the warehouse window?"
Conan falls!
Ah ah ah, why has the reminder reached this point, and how can uncle still reason casually?!
He had to look at Yu Jiang: "What does Brother Qingshui think?"
"Me?" Yu Jiang looked like he was thinking seriously, "I think what Mr. Maori said is very reasonable. It is enough for the murderer to get the key to the warehouse."
Conan: "..."
Don't mislead the investigation direction casually!
