Chapter 80 The Moonlight Song Played for the First Time
"Cheng Ji, have you noticed?" Conan sat on the ground with his head in his hands. Because it was too hot in the living room, several people sat outside. After listening to Conan's words, Cheng Ji glanced at him and replied in a low voice, "What?
Already?"
Conan held his head in his hands and raised his head, looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky. "No one has used the piano for several years, but the music is not out of tune at all!" His eyes revealed a kind of wonder, thinking.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I think there must be someone who often tunes it in private, but why? The strangest thing is the anonymous letter. What special meaning does the word have, and why do you want to play that Beethoven song?"
Where’s the moonlight?”
After listening to Conan's words, Cheng thought for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and made his posture against the door more comfortable. "Who knows, maybe I played Beethoven's "Moonlight" just to cheer up the atmosphere. Otherwise, how could it be possible?
Are there rumors about being cursed? Are you right?"
A burst of piano music sounded, and several people were startled. They raised their heads and listened carefully. "This piece of music seems to be "Moonlight?"
Conan was stunned for a moment and nodded, then turned around quickly and ran towards the house as if he had thought of something. Cheng followed him and walked a short distance away. "Did the sound come from the room where the piano was placed?"
With a bang, the door of the room where the piano was originally placed next to the reception room was kicked open by Cheng Zai, and a person fell on the piano inside. It seemed to be the richest man in Yueying Island, Mr. Kawashima, in the room.
There was a sense of moisture, as if they had just been soaked in water. At this time, the residents of the island also rushed over from the Dharma Hall next door. They were all shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. Cheng already walked over and pressed Chuan with one hand.
For a long time, there was no weak beat in Mr. Dao's neck. This man was already a corpse. He glanced at Conan and said, "He died!"
Maori Kogoro pushed away everyone and ran up. He was surprised at first when he saw the mess in front of him, and then calmed down and gave instructions calmly, "Xiaolan, hurry up and report. Miss Wei Zhong, please be responsible for examining the body!", Maori
Lieutenant Lan and Lieutenant Asai nodded, one hurriedly ran out to make a phone call, while the other frowned and walked forward to examine Mr. Kawashima's body.
Conan frowned and thought strangely, "The disappearance of the shadow mentioned in the letter my uncle received is actually a metaphor for being surrounded by light!" Thinking of the content of the letter at that time, he was very surprised.
Simple: The next full moon night, on Moon Shadow Island, the shadows will begin to disappear. Please be sure to come and investigate, Keiji Aso. The more I think about it, the more likely it is that the light mentioned in the letter should refer to
The song was Beethoven's Moonlight. He raised his head and looked at Lieutenant Commander Asai who was doing the autopsy in the distance and Kogoro Mori who was carefully supervising on the side. A cold sweat flowed down. He felt a little creepy. The pianist twelve years ago
When Keiji Aso burned himself at home, he played this song repeatedly in the blazing fire. It was also the song played by former village chief Isamu Kameyama before he died of a heart attack two years ago.
, and now the moonlight is bounced up again, so there is a trace of that letter saying that on the night of the full moon, there will be another murder on Yueying Island. This is a warning letter, and several of my people are being targeted.
Already?
He raised his head and glanced at the corpse. Conan didn't know what he was thinking. Conan took a breath and said, "Fortunately, I brought this guy here. At least there is no problem in terms of safety!"
"It's a curse! It must be a curse! This piano is an ominous piano and must be thrown away!" Someone in the crowd shouted, with a hint of panic in his voice. Conan turned around to see who had made such stupid remarks. It turned out that
It was Hirata Kazaki, the secretary of the current village mayor. Hirata Kazaki shouted as if he saw a ghost, "This cursed piano must be causing trouble again!"
"What a cursed piano! What nonsense!" Cheng already took a breath, this guy was quite noisy, he couldn't help but echo.
"Then why is it still ringing when no one is playing it?"
"Are you mentally retarded?" Cheng already took a few steps towards the piano and took out a radio from the piano case in front of Kawashima's body. Beethoven's "Moonlight" was still playing on the speaker of the radio. "The music was played from this radio."
Oh, where did the curse come from!"
Mouri Kogoro also turned his head to look at a few people and nodded, "Yes, that is to say, if we associate this incident with the two previous deaths, it means that someone clearly planned a murder case carefully!"
"Murder case? No?" Everyone on the island started talking about Mouri Kogoro after hearing this, and the room suddenly became noisy.
Mouri Kogoro nodded affirmatively and said with a serious expression, "Yes, Mr. Kawashima was killed!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Are you done with this? Let me ask you, who are you?" A tall, thin man wearing a hat and black sunglasses squeezed out from the crowd of island residents.
He yelled at Moori Kogoro in displeasure.
Mouri Kogoro seemed to be prompted by the question. He looked as if he was filming a movie and said with a stinking look on his face, "Me? Hum, I am the famous detective from Tokyo!" He raised his head and looked at Gao Gao.
The thin man said, "Mouri Kogoro!" But unfortunately, his reputation was not as resounding as he imagined. Everyone just looked at him blankly, and some strange comments started, "Moori? Is he a pilot?"
"No, the protagonist of detective novels!" "That one is called Akechi Kogoro, not Mori!"
Turning his head in embarrassment, Mouri Kogoro snorted with disdain, a bunch of country bumpkins!
Conan ignored the people at this time, and just walked to the feet of Kawashima's corpse beside the piano and observed. There was a pool of water at the feet of Kawashima's corpse. "Sea water?" The little body stood up and followed the water traces.
He walked to the window sill on one side, climbed up with his hands on the window sill, and looked out the window with a sharp look in his eyes...
"Okay!" Lieutenant Commander Asai rummaged through Kawashima's corpse and finally stopped. "Based on the spots on the corpse and the degree of stiffness, we can deduce that the time of death should be 30 to 60 minutes ago!"
Hands wearing sterilized gloves gently opened the eye sockets of Kawashima's corpse. "The bleeding inside the eyes of the deceased seemed to have been caused by suffocation at first glance!" However, there was no swelling on the face, and there were no strangulation marks on the neck. Adding to the mouth,
Judging from the residual fine foam on his nose, there is no doubt that he died from drowning!" Lieutenant Commander Asai looked at Narimi, Mouri Kogoro and others with somewhat lively eyes. As a reason to strike, Nari was retained by Mouri Kogoro.
down
"Is it possible that someone pushed him into the water and then the murderer forced his head into the water?" Cheng already thought about it and asked.
"It's hard to tell because I can't dissect the body. In this case, I might be able to find out more information! But there is no doubt that he drowned!" Lieutenant Commander Asai frowned and thought for a moment.
"Well, Mr. Kawashima drowned here!" Conan's voice came. Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked at Conan. Why did this kid sneak in again? But he was surprised after hearing Conan's words and walked to
Conan looked out the window. There was a black figure on the sea outside the window. If he looked closely, it was a coat. "Look, doesn't the coat on the sea belong to Mr. Kawashima? The murderer must have drowned him, then...
Back at the scene! Because the murderer moved the body by dragging, not only was there an obvious water stain on the floor from the side door to the piano, but there was also a lot of sand on the back of the deceased's clothes!" Low down!
He held his chin with his first hand and reasoned, "In addition, the door leading to the seaside and all the windows in the house are all locked from the inside! This is only planned!"
"You kid, didn't I ask you to go out?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Conan in front of him angrily and cursed, "You will only get in the way here!" As he said this, he walked up to Conan and stretched out his hand to lift Conan up.
Send " out the door
"etc!"
Mouri Kogoro turned around and saw that it was Nari. Nariji grabbed Moori Kogoro's hand with one hand and said with a smile, "It's better to let Conan talk about it. Sometimes children may be more observant than us."
Deep!" Turned to look at Conan and nodded.
Conan broke away from Mouri Kogoro's hand and took a breath and said, "So the murderer probably took advantage of the ceremony to lure Mr. Kawashima to the beach, then managed to drown him, and then moved the body to this room.
After the arrangement was complete, he locked the door, pressed the radio button, blew the wind down the corridor, and left calmly to escape!" After saying that, he smiled at Mouri Kogoro and said innocently, "Uncle, this is my judgment.
right?"
"It seems to make sense!" Mouri Kogoro was startled, then thought for a while and said, "If the door by the seaside is locked, you have to go out through the front door, but until an hour ago we were still staying at the door of the activity hall!
"Suddenly stunned, he calmed down. Mouri Kogoro turned his head and looked at the people passing by in the room. "So after the murderer escapes from this room, it is very likely that he will return to the ritual venue. In other words, the murderer is here.
