"As expected, it was you! Masato Shimizu! It was you who killed my father! In order to seek the throne of the village chief, you actually... dared..."

Emotionally excited, Kuroiwa Lingzi pointed at Masato Shimizu and shouted sternly, but because the reaction was so intense, he was speechless for a while.

In response to this, everyone looked at Masato Shimizu, as if he had been greatly wronged. His face was red with grief and anger, as if he was filled with all kinds of depression, his mouth was open, but he could not hold back a word.

——

"Is it a mistake?"

At this time, the old policeman who had been silent all this time suddenly felt strange and said:

"Although Qingshui, who has a sense of justice, has a bad relationship with Kuroiwa and the others, he killed people because of this..."

Saying this, the old policeman couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little incomprehensible.

"Not just because of the so-called sense of justice..."

Kogoro's voice spoke again and began to explain:

"As I mentioned before, these three murders that happened one after another, because of the "Moonlight" played at the scene, will always remind people of Aso Keiji's death in the sea of ​​fire twelve years ago. And the purpose of the prisoner's doing this,

The essence is to use this method to draw the suspicion of the suspect to the child "Naomi" who is still alive in the world and is mentioned in the music score left by Keiji Aso that we will eventually find.

"In that case, have you ever thought about a question - why does the real murderer know about the existence of 'Chengshi'?"

Solemnly, Kogoro's voice asked everyone present.

In this regard, such an inquiry couldn't help but make the three people present, Hirata Kazuaki, Kuroiwa Reiko and Murasawa Monday, look puzzled, seeming not to understand this.

However, it is obvious that the old policeman on the side has a lot of say in this matter——

"I'm sorry, let me interrupt... Although the young people on the island may not know that Aso also has a son named 'Narimi', this matter is important to some older people on the island.

For people of an older generation, this should be something everyone knows."

Hearing this, in the broadcast room, Conan echoed this in Kogoro's voice:

"Yes, the fact that Mr. Aso has a son named 'Narimi' may not be a secret to the people on the island. But..."

As he spoke, Kogoro's voice suddenly paused, and then he spoke out the next most critical part in an extremely serious tone -

"Mr. Aso actually does not have a son named 'SEJI'. Instead, he has a son named 'NARUMI'. I'm afraid only a few people know about it!"

As soon as Kogoro's voice finished speaking, except for Officer Megure and others who had known the inside story for a long time, their expressions were normal, but everyone else present, including Masato Shimizu, couldn't help showing a look of surprise on their faces.

However, the surprise on Masato Shimizu's face only faded for a fleeting moment, and he immediately returned to his original angry-eyed mood——

But Conan, who was far away in the broadcast room upstairs, couldn't see this scene.

"'NARUMI'?"

After pronouncing this pronunciation, Hirata Kazuaki looked at Asai Narumi beside him with a surprised look on his face, and his expression started to tremble in panic——

"You...you are..."

"That's right."

Regarding the current situation, now that Kogoro has revealed his identity, Asai Narumi has nothing to hide. After sighing a little, he calmly and frankly admitted his identity——

"I am Keiji Aso's daughter."

"What? Then you..."

Looking blankly at Narumi Asai who confessed her identity, Reiko Kuroiwa, who was more than shocked, looked at her in disbelief and asked:

"You come back to this island..."

"Indeed... I first returned to the island where my father lived in order to find out the truth about his murder."

There is no need to hide it, Asai Narumi said:

"However, I didn't expect that when I first came to the island two years ago, I would be called to the piano room of the community activity center by the former village chief Guishan. As a result, after he knew my true identity, he

I was so frightened that I told everything. This also made me know the truth very smoothly...

"It turns out that Kameyama, Kuroiwa, Kawashima, and Nishimoto threatened my father and asked him to use the opportunity of overseas performances to buy illegal drugs, and then transported the illegal drugs back to the country through my father's piano. However, in

Twelve years ago, after my father refused their request, in order to prevent the secret from leaking out, they worked together to lock my father’s family in their home and burned them alive!”

"Oh! No wonder, that's why it happened so well that four of them witnesses appeared at the scene of Aso's death. It turns out that this is what happened..."

Slightly surprised, the old policeman couldn't help but said as if he had a sudden realization.

In this regard, after listening to what Asai Narumi said, Murasawa on the side couldn't help but say:

"So, after you found out the truth about your father's murder, you wanted revenge, right? And your first target of revenge was the former village chief Kameyama who was in the piano room at the time? You killed him

?”

"no."

Faced with such a question, Asai Narumi calmly shook his head:

"At that time, after the head of Guishan Village told me all the truth about that year incoherently, he was probably really frightened by my identity, which caused him to die of a heart attack. And I was next to that guy's body, and I shot

When my father's favorite song "Moonlight" was played as the funeral song, he began to have a revenge plan..."

"So, what happened this time..."

Confused, when Murasawa was about to continue asking on Monday, Kogoro's voice sounded again and he began to explain:

"Let me briefly describe all the events——

"Originally, in this incident, Dr. Cheng Shi had already formulated a revenge plan, and was planning to take advantage of the former village chief's funeral to start looking for opportunities to kill the three people. And in order to use the 'cursed piano'

'It is rumored that Dr. Sung-sil had prepared a tape recorder to play "Moonlight" and the music score on the piano.

"It's just that although Dr. Chengshi was very well prepared, her plan was discovered by us before it was implemented, thus preventing her from killing people."

At this point, Kogoro's voice paused for a moment, and the Kuroiwa Reiko and several others present were surprised by this statement. They couldn't help but look at Officer Megure in charge of the investigation, as if they were trying to excuse Asai Narumi in this way.

The statement is somewhat unbelievable.

However, Officer Megure just silently agreed, saying that the police already had clues in this regard, so Kogoro Mori's statement was trustworthy.

"However, Dr. Chengshi's murder plan was stopped by us, but another murderer who also planned to kill the three of them also took this opportunity to kill them -"

As Kogoro continued to say this, everyone present once again turned their attention seriously to the identity of the murderer Kogoro just mentioned - Masato Shimizu, and involuntarily looked towards him for fear that he would do something outrageous.

She silently took a step back away from him——

"The murderer took advantage of the opportunity of the funeral to invite Mr. Nishimoto out and made him take a lethal amount of illegal drugs. Then, the murderer also wanted to take advantage of the rumor of the 'cursed piano' and took Nishimoto to the hospital.

Mr. Nishimoto's body was placed on the piano in the piano room - this is how we later found Mr. Nishimoto's body.

"However, I am afraid that the murderer himself did not expect that the scene of Mr. Nishimoto's death that he arranged would end up with "Moonlight" playing, making the entire scene look particularly fitting for the term 'cursed piano.' Although, the murderer

You may not know what is going on, but the "Moonlight" played at the scene is tantamount to giving the murderer an excellent inspiration. Therefore, following the same example, in the murderer's second action,

The murderer also began to use "Moonlight" to make the situation even weirder!

"And the murderer's second action was just as I mentioned to you during the investigation -

"At the crime scene, which was guarded by the island's police and a few of us, someone was found peeping outside. After we discovered it, the peeper chose to jump into the sea in order not to be caught by us. Then, at

More than an hour after the voyeur jumped into the sea, the second movement of "Moonlight" sounded from the radio loudspeaker, attracting us to the office on the island, where we discovered the drowned body of Mr. Kawashima.

"

Speaking of this, Kogoro's voice sounded a little sad, and he sighed slightly, then suddenly changed the topic and said:

"Remember what I said before? Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Hirata were using the piano in the piano room to complete the smuggling of illegal drugs. Therefore, if we follow normal reasoning, when we discovered the smuggling of illegal drugs on the island

, and if the affair between Kawashima and Hirata is found, then obviously, what will we think so when facing this second incident?

"I think at least we would think that the figure peeping outside the house at that time was Mr. Kawashima who later drowned. Because Mr. Kawashima was worried that the illegal drugs placed in the piano room would be discovered by us on duty, so to be on the safe side, Kawashima

Mr. Kawashima wanted to find an opportunity to take away these illegal drugs hidden in the piano before we discovered this. Then after we discovered his whereabouts, Mr. Kawashima chose to jump into the sea to escape under the cover of night in order not to expose himself.

, but unfortunately he accidentally drowned in the sea, and his body was eventually pushed to the coast near the office by the ocean current——

"In short, this makes the second incident look more like an accident. As for the "Moonlight" played at that time, the murderer could have pushed it into the first incident. Dr. Chengshi who played "Moonlight"

body, thereby freeing himself from suspicion."

"I see……"

Hearing what Kogoro said, Murasawa nodded slightly and said as if he finally understood:

"In other words, the murderer has already found someone who can bear all the suspicion for him. Then, the murderer only needs to kill those three people step by step according to his plan, because in the end, even if they dig up

As for the truth about Mr. Aso's murder twelve years ago, the suspicion will only be placed on Mr. Aso's surviving child... However, based on this alone, how can you be sure that the real murderer is Masato Shimizu?"

"In the second incident, by calculating the ocean currents, we found that theoretically, the time interval and distance between the location where we found the figure diving and the final location where Mr. Kawashima was found were completely reasonable based on the ocean current conditions at the time.

Therefore, if the second incident is a carefully planned murder, then obviously the murderer is well aware of the ocean currents on the island at night. Therefore, Mr. Shimizu, who is the representative of the fishermen on the island, is one of the biggest suspects..."

Kogoro's voice began to answer Murasawa's Monday question, but obviously this statement made Shimizu Masato even more angry, but before he could speak, Kogoro continued:

"Of course, these are just speculations. But as I said just now, since the murderer wanted to draw the suspicion of the murderer onto Keiji Aso's surviving child, then it is possible that the murderer knew that Mr. Aso's child was already on the island.
