The police arrived at Yueying Island around eight o'clock the next morning. Yu Jiang met them at the pier, and then naturally led them to the activity center as a witness who had experienced last night's murder.
The body is still placed in the piano room - this is Kogoro Mori's request. No one can destroy the scene until the Tokyo police arrive.
Conan, Mao Lilan and Asai Narumi stood waiting outside the piano room, and they were sincerely relieved to see the police.
"Fortunately, you guys are here." Asai Narimi stretched tiredly, "I haven't slept all night, I'm so sleepy now."
Mao Lilan looked at Yujiang.
Seeing him appearing here with the police, Mao Lilan knew that Qingshui Yuxian's journey had been delayed by this incident again. She said embarrassedly: "Teacher Qingshui, I feel really bad for causing you trouble."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Jiang was very open-minded, "When the police arrive, I think this case will be over soon, and it will be the same when I start my journey."
Officer Memu looked around and asked doubtfully: "Huh? Where is brother Maori? Didn't you say he is here too?"
"We were indeed together yesterday, and now he..." Mao Lilan paused, because the snoring in his ears could no longer be ignored, "That's it, dad is still sleeping in the piano room."
Officer Memu was confused: "Piano room? I heard from Brother Qingshui that the deceased was in the piano room, right?"
"Uh, that's it..."
Officer Megu followed the sound of snoring and pushed open the door of the piano room——
I saw Kogoro Mouri and the old policeman from Tsukikage Island yesterday standing in a row, sleeping soundly next to the corpse.
Well, that’s outrageous.
Officer Memu's face turned dark instantly.
After a long day of work yesterday, everyone else was keeping vigil, but this guy was the only one sleeping soundly and contentedly?
"Officer Megure." Conan handed the music score he had been holding to Megure Thirteen, "This is the score that was placed on the piano before. It should be "Moonlight", but some of the notes in it have been specially processed. Maybe
It is a message left by the deceased or the murderer."
"Oh, really?" Officer Megure took the sheet music and looked at it back and forth for a long time but still didn't understand. "Forget it, I can't understand this thing. Let's hand it over to the forensics department and keep it as evidence." Conan was not very satisfied with this answer, but fortunately he had memorized the music score in advance and could still reason on his own.
"Ah, no, no, no, I have to catch up on some sleep now." Asai Narumi yawned several times in succession. She pulled a piece of silk used for the ceremony yesterday, draped it over her shoulders, and shrank into the corner of the piano room.
Get ready for a good night's sleep.
After the first person appears, it is no longer difficult to make the same decision immediately after.
Maori Lan and Conan simply lay down next to Maori Kogoro and slept.
Asai Naomi raised his eyes tiredly and said to the energetic Ikue: "I'll leave it to you to cooperate with the police investigation, Mr. Shimizu!"
"Ah, don't worry."
Officer Megu watched dumbfounded: "Okay, okay, you guys rest first, I'll let the forensics class collect the evidence."
He called Yu Jiang outside the door and asked in detail what happened last night.
Yu Jiang told the truth, only omitting some "minutiae".
They were busy until about 11 o'clock at noon. When Officer Megure saw that Kogoro Mori was still awake, he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He lay down next to Uncle Maori's ear and shouted loudly: "Hey! Brother Maori!"
"Maori brother!!"
"The sun is hitting your butt, why don't you get up?!"
With his unremitting efforts, Mouri Kogoro finally woke up from his dream: "Ah... Officer Megure?"
The first time he saw Officer Megure, Kogoro Mori obviously didn't react, "Why are you here?"
"Huh?" Officer Megure said with an expression of 'Listen to what you said!', "I heard that you are involved in difficult cases and the police force on Yueying Island is limited, so I specially took the earliest ferry today to come here! Anyway,
Tsukikage Island also falls under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government."
"Ah, by the way, I have something to give you!"
"If you are talking about music scores, then there is no need. Conan already gave them to me this morning."
After investigating the scene, according to regulations, the forensic doctor who followed Officer Megure to the island will transport the body back to Tokyo for autopsy.
In order to speed up the investigation, they took the afternoon ferry and left first.
Officer Megure and the others stayed behind to continue the investigation.
5:58 pm——
Conan, Mao Lilan and Asai Narumi finally woke up.
But it is difficult for the biological clock to be completely changed in a short period of time. They are all dizzy and not very energetic.
"Teacher Qingshui, did we sleep for a long time?" Mao Lilan asked, rubbing her temples.
"It won't be long. You can sleep a little longer. Anyway, with the efficiency of the police, it is impossible to solve the case within ten days and a half." Yu Jiang said nonchalantly.
"Ah?" Mao Lilan was confused, "Yes, it shouldn't be the case, right?"
Asai Narumi rubbed her eyes and said, "In that case, I'll go to the bathroom and wash my face first."
"I'll go too..." Mao Lilan originally wanted to go with Asai Narimi, but before she could say anything, she saw Asai Narimi had already hurried to the bathroom.
She said helplessly: "Then I'll go there later."
Ikue's eyes always fell lightly on Asai Narumi, and as her figure disappeared, his eyes became deeper.
"I'm going out for some air." Yu Jiang stood up and walked in the other direction.
……
Yu Jiang walked around the activity center and finally found Asai Narumi's trace.
She had just inserted the knife into Kuroiwa Tatsuji's back, and before Kuroiwa Tatsuji even had time to cry out in pain, he had already passed away in bliss.
Asai Narumi stared blankly at Kuroiwa Tatsuji's blood-soaked back. When the recording was played, his hands were shaking.
Obviously, killing is not something that this young man feels comfortable doing.
"Hey, are you trying to use a blank tape to forge an alibi, Aso?"
A cold voice sounded from the back of his head, startling Asai Narumi, and the tape almost dropped to the ground.
She raised her head and looked at Yu Jiang. After she saw who it was, she felt much calmer.
"That's not a blank tape. I just used the automatic turning function of the tape. No one will find out." Asai Narumi said with a smile.
"Really?" Yu Jiang pushed open the door and said indifferently, "As far as I know, a detective from Tokyo can discover it."
Asai Narumi was a little surprised when she heard this. In her opinion, Mouri Kogoro was really embarrassed.
It can only be said that the uncle hid it very well. Not to mention Asai Narumi, even he himself was kept in the dark.
But...
"That's fine." The smile on Asai Narumi's face not only did not shrink, but also became a bit sincere.
