After listening to the stories of several people, Kogoro couldn't help but be very surprised, but at the same time extremely unbelievable, he asked Gao Yuan for confirmation:

"You said that you and Dr. Chengshi went out through the side door of this room just now, and then came to the beach behind the community activity room, right?"

"Um."

Naturally, Gao Yuan also understood why Kogoro asked this and couldn't help but nodded.

After receiving such an answer, Kogoro seemed a little disbelieving and continued to ask:

"So, when you passed by this piano room, there should be no corpses here, right?"

"Of course."

Gao Yuan nodded and said affirmatively:

"If there had been a body here at that time, we should have discovered it long ago!"

——That's right, I waited in the corridor outside the room until Asai Narumi came out of the funeral scene, and then took the opportunity to prevent the other party from committing murder and invited him to talk outside. Gao Yuan and Asai Narumi were in the piano room passing by the corridor.

Then go through the side door of the club activity room and come to the beach behind the club activity room.

In this regard, Gao Yuan can be sure that when he passed the piano room at that time, there was absolutely no body on the piano.

Moreover, the problem caused by this situation is——

"When you guys came to the back of the activity room, there was no body in the piano room. In other words, the body was placed on the piano after you came to the beach outside to chat. At that time, the two of you

It's so close, just a wall away from the crime scene, why didn't you notice anything?"

Kogoro's expression looked very solemn and he couldn't help but ask.

After hearing such an inquiry, Gao Yuan felt very awkward and nodded, while Asai Narumi couldn't help but replied blankly, "That's right."

At this point, a very concerning point in this matter is about to emerge——

"If that's the case, how did the murderer kill the deceased here without making any noise? Moreover, since the murderer also used a tape recorder to play "Moonlight", then anyway, you two should pay attention immediately

There are traces of the murderer in the room..."

Kogoro kept touching his chin and said seriously in confusion.

"Because in the tape of "Moonlight" left at the scene, there was intentionally a few minutes of blank space at the beginning..."

While Kogoro was meditating on this, Conan had already taken the tape recorder from Takato, placed it on the ground, pressed the button on it, and confirmed the status of the tape——

"This little devil..."

He was speechless, watching Conan just fiddle with the recorder, but seeing that he had indeed fiddled with something, Kogoro temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​bringing Conan to the scene.

"And that's not all!"

After confirming the status of the recorder, Conan continued:

"Although I don't know what method the murderer used to put the body in this piano room without attracting the attention of Brother Akechi and Sister Narumi. However, one thing that is certain is that the murderer at least brought the body to Brother Akechi and the others.

The body was brought over when we were at the beach. At that time, I was outside the side door of this room, and I didn't see anyone coming out of the side door at all...

"I think the murderer took advantage of the ceremony to kill the deceased elsewhere, then moved the body to this room. After setting up the scene, he escaped from the corridor..."

After some serious analysis, Conan couldn't help but show an innocent smile and said to Kogoro:

"Uncle, am I right to judge this way?"

"Ah...this...seems right..."

Listening to Conan's analysis, Kogoro hesitated for a moment, then he couldn't help but think about it and said:

"If you, a brat, don't see anyone leaving the side door of this room, you have to go out through the front door. But, until just now, we were still staying at the main entrance of the activity center..."

Thinking like this, Kogoro dragged his chin with his hand and his expression became more solemn.

"Although the window of this room facing the sea is not locked, it is theoretically possible to escape through the window, but Dr. Asai and I were on the sea side at the time, so it is equally impossible for the murderer to jump out of the window...

"

In this regard, Gao Yuan could not help but add:

"Therefore, this room at that time... no, it should be said that it was the entire community activity center, and it was under the surveillance of our three parties... It was an out-and-out surveillance-type secret room!"

"Although all the exits to the outside world are unlocked, because there are people at every exit, it is impossible for anyone to leave this room without being discovered by us... Therefore, the murderer came out of this room and then returned

There is a high possibility of a ritual venue…”

Regarding the current situation, Kogoro couldn't help but analyze this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but look towards the crowd behind him——

"Wait...wait a minute!"

In this regard, when the villagers present heard Kogoro's words, Kuroiwa Reiko could not help but asked in surprise:

"you mean……"

Saying this, Kuroiwa Reiko looked around in panic at the villagers present, and couldn't help but tell the hidden meaning behind what Kogoro said -

"Maybe the murderer is among this group of people?"

Hearing this, everyone present showed surprised and solemn expressions, feeling the urgency of the situation.

"Yes...if the murderer hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to escape..."

Kogoro finally clarified the current situation. He couldn't help but look at the crowd in front of him seriously and began to ask:

"Does any of you know the deceased, or has anyone seen the deceased leave the ceremony during the ceremony?"

"Didn't pay attention..."

"Did he come to attend the ceremony?"

"It seems like it's coming?"

Listening to Kogoro's inquiry, the villagers present were whispering to each other, but no one seemed to have noticed when the deceased Ken Nishimoto left the memorial site——

"Then are there any suspicious people who have left the funeral scene?"

Listening to the chattering discussion of the villagers, Kogoro felt a little headache and couldn't help but change the question.

Upon hearing this question, the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji couldn't help but said:

"Ah...I saw this..."

Saying this, Kuroiwa Tatsuji couldn't help but look at Kawashima Hideo on the side, and said in a strange tone:

"I saw Kawashima going out!"

"What! You..."

Hearing that Kuroiwa Tatsuji confessed himself at this time, Kawashima Hideo couldn't help but angrily said to Kuroiwa Tatsuji, then looked at Kogoro and quickly explained:

"I just went to the bathroom and went back right away! Dr. Chengshi can prove this!"

Saying this, Hideo Kawashima couldn't help but look at Narumi Asai who was standing aside——

"After I went out to use the bathroom, Dr. Chengshi also came out. She can prove...ah! That's right! You just said that the murderer killed someone after Dr. Chengshi and the others went out. Since I was with Dr. Chengshi,

Those who came out before are certainly not suspicious, right?"

A little nervous, Kawashima Hideo wiped the cold sweat from his face and quickly analyzed.

In this regard, Kogoro couldn't help but look at Asai Narumi. After seeing Asai nod, he confirmed to Kuroiwa Tatsuji who said that Kawashima Hideo had gone out:

"Did he come back immediately after he went out?"

"Ah...yes."

Hearing this, Kuroiwa Tatsuji could only answer truthfully.

So, after listening to the statements of these two people, Gao Yuan on the side couldn't help but say:

"In this case, it is indeed impossible to move the deceased to the piano room under those circumstances... By the way, does the deceased have any enemies here?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Hearing Gao Yuan ask about this, Kogoro couldn't help but ask:

"Do you know the deceased? What enemies does he have on this island? Anyway, it has been confirmed that the murderer is a guest attending today's ceremony. Next, we just need to confirm who among them has a grudge against the deceased..."

"Um...this..."

Faced with Kogoro's analysis, the villagers present seemed a little emotional, and among them, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary Hirata Kazaki explained with some anxiety:

"If anything, most of Mr. Nishimoto's enemies on the island...maybe have a grudge against him..."

"Ah? Why?"

Hearing this, Kogoro asked doubtfully.

"I heard that he was not only a high-ranking person on the island, but also invested a lot of money in wine, women and gambling, so this also made him create a lot of enemies on the island. However, since the two

After Mr. Kameyama died two years ago, he hid at home all day long as if he was frightened by something."

Hirata Kazuaki explained.

"Ever since the incident two years ago..."
