The sun was setting and the moon was about to rise. In the office, Miwako Sato, who seemed to have just been reincarnated, was enjoying a delicious meal.
"It's all your fault. The food is so delicious. How can I eat anything else in the future?" Sato complained while eating. She hadn't been here for a few days, but she didn't expect that Narumi Kiyotaka's cooking skills had improved so much.
The greedy person who was easily suppressed was instantly hooked again.
"It's so cheap but so good! How's the matter that I asked you to help me investigate?" Narumi Kiyotaka asked as he took out the last dish from the kitchen.
"The man named Keiji Aso died twelve years ago. I looked at the records, and there are obviously many problems in them. I really don't know how those people handled the case in the first place." Sato said angrily, full of a sense of justice.
In addition to hating those vicious criminals, I also hate those perfunctory police officers. "By the way, why did you suddenly think of investigating this case?"
"Not long ago, Keiji Aso wrote to me!" Narumi Kiyotaka took out a letter and said.
"Ahem!" Sato almost choked when he heard this, "How could a dead person write you a letter?"
Narumi Kiyotaka handed the letter to Sato, and it read: "Next full moon night... on Moon Shadow Island... shadows will begin to disappear again... Please investigate the reason... Aso Keiji"
After reading the letter, Sato said: "This letter cannot be written by him. Someone should have forged his name. But looking at the postmark, it is indeed sent from Yueying Island. What does this letter mean? Why does it seem to be something?
An ominous premonition?”
Narumi Kiyotaka said: "If my judgment is good, it should be a ban notice."
"Murder notice?" Sato's face suddenly became serious, "Are you sure?"
Narumi Kiyotaka said: "On the night of the full moon, the time and place on Tsukikage Island are the same as when Aso Keiji died. I heard that Aso Keiji was playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata before his death. The moonlight dispels the darkness, which coincides with the sentence "Shadow Disappears"
, combined with the death of Keiji Aso, in a sense it also implies the disappearance of life. Shadows begin to disappear again, indicating that someone has died again, and it is just the beginning. There should be more than one death in the end."
Sato said: "If it is true as you said, why did the other party ask you to investigate?"
Narumi Kiyotaka said: "Maybe the other party is still hesitating and hopes someone can stop him. How about it, are you interested in going with me?"
"Since the other party is really planning to kill someone, as a police officer, of course he has to stop it." Sato said, "Without further delay, I will ask for leave tomorrow and go with you."
If there is any case in Conan that is the most difficult to resolve, Moonlight is definitely on the list. Many years later, the official animation of this case was even remade, and Narumi Kiyotaka still remembers it fresh.
Not long after, Conan came home from school and learned that the two of them were going to Moon Shadow Island to investigate the case tomorrow. He immediately shouted that he wanted to go too. Sato felt that it was inappropriate, so Conan just lay on the floor and rolled around, saying that the two of them went out to play but
Without him, his acting skills are as high as his mother!
"It's better to take him with you." Narumi Kiyotaka said.
"Would it be too dangerous to take Conan with us?" Sato asked worriedly.
"Even if we don't take him with us, given his character, we might still follow him secretly, which would only be more dangerous." Narumi Kiyotaka said, this case is the pain of Conan's life, let him go with him, in a sense,
It can also be considered as making up for past regrets.
The next day, the three of them drove to the port and took a boat to Moon Shadow Island. Moon Shadow Island is still under the jurisdiction of Tokyo and is not very far away. The three of them arrived quickly.
On the way here, Narumi Kiyotaka had already analyzed it for Sato. The reason why the other party used the name of Keiji Aso to invite him to investigate was because he hoped that he could find out the truth and bring the real criminal to justice. If the law cannot do it,
When you arrive, the other party will do it yourself.
It is difficult to re-investigate a case twelve years ago. The three of them first went to the local police station, where there was only one old policeman. Sato took out his ID and identified himself.
The old policeman said: "It turns out you are an adult from the Metropolitan Police Department. What's the matter with coming to a small place like ours?"
Sato said: "We were investigating a case recently and found that it was related to a person named Aso Keiji. I heard that this is Aso Keiji's hometown, so I wanted to come and investigate."
The old policeman said: "Aso Keiji? He died twelve years ago."
Sato said: "How did you die specifically?"
The old policeman said: "According to the witnesses who went to the rescue, that night, Keiji Aso locked the whole family in the house, first killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and then set the house on fire, while he repeatedly bounced in the raging fire.
He played a piece of music and ended up being burned alive."
Sato said: "Who were the witnesses at that time?"
The old policeman said: "Let me think about it, the former village chief Kameyama Isamu, the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, the local richest man Hideo Kawashima, and yes, that Ken Nishimoto."
Sato asked: "Did Aso Keiji leave anything behind?"
The old policeman said: "The fire burned down the entire house, and the only thing left was a piece of handwritten music score in the fireproof safe."
Sato and Narumi Kiyotaka looked at each other, and the latter nodded. Sato then asked, "Where is that sheet of music now?"
The old policeman said: "It should be in the warehouse of the community activity center."
Sato said: "Please take us there immediately."
The old policeman said: "Don't worry, I'll look for the key first. No one can get in without the key."
The key was in the police station. The old policeman rummaged around and spent nearly an hour finding it. After getting the key, everyone immediately went to the community activity center and after a lot of trouble, finally got the music score.
Miwako Sato flipped through the music scores, and there was a thick pile. It was really just music scores, with no other words. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Narumi Kiyotaka and Conan also looked at it. With his piano skills, Narumi Kiyotaka quickly saw through the hidden content, "So that's it!"
Sato Qidao: "What did you find?"
Narumi Kiyotaka pointed to the marks next to several notes and explained: "These are the sharp sign (#) and the flat sign (b). Once these signs are added next to the notes, they will rise or fall by a semitone. On the piano
Generally speaking, it generally refers to the black key part.
This code is actually not difficult to understand. Just start from the far left of the keyboard, put in the 26 English letters in order, and then use the Roman pinyin method to convert the text of the message you want to convey into note marks and write it on the music score. According to
This inference, what this sentence means is that I never want to help them do this kind of thing again..."
"It's not difficult to understand?" Sato suddenly felt that his IQ had been hit hard! Conan was a little annoyed. If he knew piano, he would definitely be able to see through it at a glance, and he would consider learning some related knowledge in the future!
