Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

"Lan! Come to the police quickly!"

"yes!"

"Everyone stays here, no one is allowed to leave!"

As a former detective, Mouri Kogoro showed a rarely seen side of him at this time. He arranged everything skillfully and stepped forward to check the condition of the corpse.

Touching the cold hand with no pulse, the last glimmer of hope left in Maori's heart disappeared.

There was silence in the room for a few seconds. He looked up at everyone and shook his head, "He is already dead."

"Dr. Chengshi, could you please come and do the autopsy?"

"Yes!" Dr. Cheng Shi nodded and stepped forward to check the condition of the corpse.

"How, how could this happen!!"

Everyone present looked horrified. Among them, the secretary named Hirata was the most horrified. He staggered back a few steps and pointed at the piano tremblingly.

"It's a curse! This is the curse left by Keiji Aso on the piano!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mouri Kogoro walked to the side of the piano and took out a tape recorder from the corner. "It's just a tape that was recorded in advance. It's not the piano that makes the sound!"

Turning off the recorder, Mao Li looked around at everyone present, "This is a well-planned murder!"

"Kill, murder!?"

Mao Li finally looked like a detective at this time. He nodded seriously, "That's right."

"The criminal just wanted to use the cursed piano to cover up the purpose of his crime!"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" In the crowd, the tall and thin man standing next to the village chief's daughter looked at Mouri Kogoro next to the body with suspicion.

"You are there to command this and that, who are you?"

Mouri Kogoro straightened his collar and chuckled, "I am the famous detective from Tokyo, Moori Kogoro!"

"Who is that, Kogoro?"

The dignity that Mao Li had just saved was suddenly shattered to pieces. Listening to everyone's conversation, he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

Suddenly a voice of surprise came from the crowd, Maoli's eyes brightened slightly, and he looked back expectantly.

"It's the famous space pilot!"

Hope was shattered again.

"What? This shouldn't be the character in that one!"

"That's Kogoro Akechi, not that one!"

"Eh? Then who is he?"

After some discussion, they could not come to a correct conclusion. Everyone looked at Maori who was standing aside.

Mouri Kogoro's face was full of black lines. He turned around and glanced at everyone with resentment, then silently turned his head to grieve alone.

Kurosawa Rin sighed helplessly, patted Maori's shoulder and comforted:

"Uncle Maori, after all, this is a small island with limited communication. I don't know anything about Tokyo, but you are still very well-known in Tokyo!"

"Don't worry about them, let's quickly investigate the scene! I also hope that Uncle Maori can teach me some reasoning skills!"

There were tears in the corners of Maori's eyes, "Rin!"

What a good child! He is so humble and sensible, hard-working and eager to learn, and he also knows how to comfort himself. Why did he get into a car accident?

After recovering his emotions, Maori cheered up again and discovered several key clues under the guidance of Kurosawa Rin, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ah, there seems to be something on the sea outside the window!"

Maori heard the sound and walked to the window to look out.

This is the side of the back door of the public hall, and there is the sea and beach right outside. There are no roads or street lights, but due to the reflection of the moonlight and sea water, the window does not look dim, but very bright.

On the sparkling sea, a black suit was floating on it. It should be the coat lost by the deceased Kawashima. There was a long drag mark on the beach nearby, extending to the back door. This was the murderer.

The traces left by dragging the body.

Although his reasoning ability is really not strong, his many years of criminal police work have allowed him to see some clues.

"Mr. Kawashima was probably drowned in the sea. Judging from the lack of other footprints on the beach and the fact that all the doors and windows were locked, the murderer should be someone from the public hall."

"That is to say!" Maoli looked at everyone with sharp eyes, "The prisoner is among you!"

"What! The prisoner is among us?!"

The crowd suddenly began to commotion. Everyone looked at everyone around them with panic and suspicion. People unconsciously began to move away from each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

At this time, Dr. Chengshi also finished the autopsy and turned back to report the situation to Maori and everyone else.

"The cause of death was drowning. Judging from the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death should be within 30 to 40 minutes."

"The details are still being analyzed by forensic autopsy. Now I'm just waiting to get these clues."

Mouri Kogoro nodded to express his thanks, "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Narumi, this is enough!"

Conan, who didn't know what he was doing at the side, also held up the tape he had just discovered, with a serious analysis expression on his face.

"Dr. Chengshi is right!"

"As Uncle Maori said just now, the prisoner took Mr. Kawashima to the beach and drowned him, and then dragged his body back here. The water stains on the ground and the sand and mud on the body's back can prove this!"

"And the first thirty minutes of this tape are empty. It should have started playing after the prisoner killed Mr. Kawashima!"

"In this way, the prisoner can calmly return to the original route after arranging everything and re-enter the ritual venue..."

The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Conan was startled. He looked up and saw Kurosawa Rin standing in front of him with a kind smile.

He looked at the idiot detective in front of him with great interest, "Hey~"

"Conan is really amazing, he can actually find so many clues!"

Conan was so frightened that he quickly changed his expression to an innocent one like a child, and his voice began to tremble unconsciously.

"This... I am actually imitating the reasoning of Brother Shinichi and Uncle Mouri..."

"Yes...isn't it, Uncle Maori..."

Conan looked at Maori aside, his eyes filled with hope, help, and deep fear...

Maori was also confused for a while. Whether it was Conan who was strange or Rin Kurosawa who suddenly became so scary, he was confused.

"Ah, that's right."

Maori vaguely agreed to Conan's words, and when he looked at the two of them again, he no longer had the strange feeling he had just now.

Is it an illusion?

Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and stopped thinking about it. He turned around and started looking around the body again. However, a piece of paper sandwiched on the piano lid caught his attention.

"This is... music score?"

Conan was stunned, and immediately stood up to find out what was going on, but he did not dare to be too showy due to Kurosawa Rin's captivating gaze.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he timidly looked at Kurosawa Rin and suggested:

"Well, brother Rin, why don't you go and see if there are any clues?"

Conan's somewhat fearful and apprehensive look made Kurosawa Rin feel inexplicably happy, but he obviously didn't realize this, and just complained secretly in his heart.

As expected, this kid can fly without being scared. I really don’t know how he survived the more than a thousand episodes after that...

Just tease the cat once in a while, but if you tease it too often, it will be boring.

Kurosawa Rin withdrew his gaze and looked at Mouri, who was holding the music sheet and was confused, and ignored Conan who stepped forward to check.

Conan breathed a sigh of relief, followed Kurosawa Rin quietly, jumped on the stool, stretched his head and looked at the sheet music in Mouri Kogoro's hand.

"moonlight!"

Uncontrollably shouting out, Conan felt Kurosawa Rin's gaze again and quickly covered his mouth.

Kurosawa Rin glanced at Conan helplessly, and then returned to the music score, but his mind was recalling the next plot.

Mao Li did not dwell on the music score for too long, but turned back to look at everyone and continued the topic.

"We have been waiting at the entrance during this period. No one came or went during this period, so anyone who left the ceremony venue during this period is probably the murderer!"

Maoli's eyes were sharp, "Who has left the venue during this time?"

"Who can remember this? At that time, everyone had their eyes closed and their heads lowered. Who would care about that!"

The discordant sounds came from the crowd, Maoli looked stunned, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

Rin Kurosawa, who was trying to maintain his sense of presence, reminded him, "Maybe Mr. Kawashima has offended someone?"

Maoli suddenly realized, "Yes, it's possible that an enemy committed the crime!"

The head of Heiyan Village in the crowd suddenly shouted:

"Although I can't say I'm offended, the person who is happiest when Mr. Kawashima dies is probably my fellow candidate, Mr. Shimizu!"

Masato Shimizu, who was inexplicably lying on the gun, immediately retorted: "In this case, aren't you also very suspicious?"

"Ah la la." The daughter of the chief of Kuroiwa Village said in a strange tone, "That's different! If you hadn't put Mr. Kawashima's unwanted votes in his own name, my father might have been elected long ago!"

"What did you say!?" Qing Shui roared.

Secretary Hirata also advised, "Miss, you said so..."

The venue suddenly became chaotic.
