Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

Chapter 72, The Crying Detective

After thinking for a long time and still unable to come up with a reason, Conan let out a long sigh.

I still have no idea, but after such a long time, Dr. Narumi must have surrendered. After all, Officer Megure and the others are downstairs...

Thinking again of the letter left by Keiji Aso, Conan couldn't help but lament his fate.

Keiji Aso used the piano as a disguise for transporting drugs in his early years. Relying on this, he learned the best piano skills abroad, met his wife, and lived a prosperous life.

But he was always worried about all this, because he knew that he had obtained it through illegal activities, and if he wanted to have a truly peaceful life, he had to make a break with it all.

So fifteen years ago, he transported the last batch of drugs back to Yueying Island, and he and his close friends and accomplices proposed to quit.

He no longer wanted to do such things that went against his conscience. He wanted to take his wife and daughter away and live a normal life.

Unfortunately, those people did not agree to his request and did not let him go.

"Because a dead man never tells a secret."

Aso couldn't forget the hypocritical and disgusting smiles on those four people's faces when they said these words.

He personally ended the lives of his wife and daughter, ended their pain, and he wrote all of his hatred and regret on the sheet of music.

It's full of music, full of resentment, regret, helplessness, and sadness.

"Perhaps Keiji Aso wrote this so that his son Cheng Shi could discover the truth and avenge him..."

He curled his lips, feeling very disgusted with Keiji Aso's purpose.

Why can't we let our descendants live their lives in peace, but let them bear the regrets and resentments of the previous generation?

With this thought in his mind, he walked slowly downstairs. Looking around, he did not see Dr. Cheng Shi. Instead, Officer Memu was still standing at the table analyzing the evidence with a serious expression.

"Officer Megure, where is Dr. Narumi?"

"Ah." Mumu didn't look up, still staring at the photo in his hand, "Dr. Chengshi went out a long time ago and said he was very tired today and wanted to go back to rest."

"Didn't he tell you anything else?" Conan was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

He clearly made an agreement with Dr. Chengshi to surrender! But looking at it now, it is obvious that he has not kept his promise.

Mu Mu was also a little surprised, "No? He didn't say anything and walked away as if he was very tired."

"Because she is not a suspect and does not want the police to monitor her, we just let her go back on her own."

"Oops!"

Recalling the last words spoken by Dr. Cheng Shi, his pupils tightened. Conan gritted his teeth, rushed out of the village hall door, and looked far in the direction of the public hall.

The sky was red, and a plume of smoke rose from the place where the public hall was located in the distance. Flames engulfed everything, and even the stars and the full moon in the sky were eclipsed by the blazing firelight.

"It's bad, it's the public hall! The public hall is on fire!"

A shout tensed the nerves of everyone in the village hall.

Memu rushed out, looking at the fire all over the sky and shouting urgently to the police officer behind him.

"Quick! Call the firefighters quickly, and the rest of the people will follow me to put out the fire!"

"yes!"

Conan, who set off early, rushed to the scene first.

The public hall of Nottingham University saw thick smoke billowing everywhere, the fire was raging, and crackling and burning sounds continued to sound. The faint sound of a piano could be heard in the thick smoke, and a figure could be seen shaking through the window.

"It's Dr. Cheng Shi!"

Gritting his teeth, Conan rushed into the sea water and soaked himself, turned his head and slammed into the door of the public hall like crazy.

Bang! Bang!

The door didn't move at all, as if it was mocking Conan's ridiculous behavior of using a mantis as a cart.

Damn it! You can't open this door just by relying on your smaller body!

There was another violent impact, and Xiaolan's shout suddenly sounded from behind Conan.

"Conan! What are you doing!"

"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan turned around sharply, but did not stop banging on the door, "Dr. Chengshi... Dr. Chengshi is still inside!"

"What!?" Xiaolan was shocked, "Get out of the way! Let me come!"

Understanding Xiaolan, Conan nodded solemnly and moved out of the way.

Xiaolan stood quietly in front of the door and took a deep breath, "Ha!!"

A whip kick made the door sway, but it did not fall down.

No time to breathe, Xiaolan raised her legs again, "Ha!!!"

boom!

The door opened in response, and Conan rushed into the room instantly. Xiaolan followed closely behind and suddenly felt pain in her ankle and fell to her knees.

There was a sound from behind, and Conan looked back and was stunned, "Sister Xiaolan!"

"Don't worry about me Conan! Bring Dr. Chengshi out quickly!" Xiaolan bit her lip, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat due to the pain, but her eyes were filled with perseverance.

"Yes!" Understanding what Xiaolan meant, Conan nodded vigorously, turned around and ran towards the sea of fire.

"Doctor Cheng Shi!!"

Fortunately, the door to the piano room was not locked. Conan pushed the door open and entered the room, and smoke that was stronger than outside the room escaped.

"Ahem..." Conan coughed twice, covered his mouth and nose with his wet sleeves and rushed into the room.

In the sea of fire, Cheng Shi lay quietly on the piano, his face pressed tightly against his father's piano.

His fingers gently pressed the keys, and Cheng Shi's eyes were relieved.

"It's all over...Dad."

"It's not over yet!!" A small figure rushed out of the thick smoke. Conan coughed twice and looked eagerly at Cheng Shi, who was still sitting there.

"This is not over yet. You shouldn't ruin your future because of your father's hatred! Come true!"

Cheng Shi turned back to look at Conan in slight surprise, winking slightly, "But it's already too late."

"My hands are already stained with the blood of sin."

"Ahem." He coughed twice violently and looked at Conan with gentle eyes.

"Conan-kun is such a gentle boy. Even at this time, he still wants to rush into the fire to save me, a murderer..."

Chengshi's eyes dimmed, and he was interrupted by Conan before he finished speaking.

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Conan clenched his fists and shouted forcefully: "When you need to save someone, do you still need to think about whether the person being rescued is a murderer?"

"...!!"

Cheng Shi looked at Conan blankly, and after a few seconds, he laughed out loud without knowing it.

"Ahem!"

"Thank you so much, little detective!"

He gently wiped away the sad tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice became extremely soft:

"But I already plan to end it all..."

"...End it, my sinful soul!!!"

Before Conan could react, Cheng Shi picked up Conan fiercely and threw him toward the window.

boom!

Wow—

Passing through the flames that rolled up around him, Conan smashed the glass and rolled several meters on the beach.

"Conan!!"
