Conan's Silence in the Dark

"Next a full moon night, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island, please investigate the reason, Keiji Aso." Kogoro looked confused as he looked at the words spelled out from the newspaper clippings.

At this time, the phone rang just in time.

"Hey, hello Maori detective agency here."

"There are still two weeks left before the full moon, and the handling fee of 500,000 has been remitted to you, you must come."

"etc. Wait a minute, who are you? "

"Keiji Aso of Tsukage Island" said and hung up the phone.

Because of this phone call of unknown significance, Kogoro got on the boat to Moon Shadow Island, and Xiaoran and the others naturally followed.

"Really, forcing someone else to investigate. I was going to go cherry blossom viewing this week. Kogoro said at the bow of the boat, lighting a cigarette and saying a little depressed.

"What's not good can be a leisurely time on the island in the center of the Izu Islands, isn't it Xiaojing, Conan."

"That's right, and my father will be fine even if he doesn't come. This kind of delegation that does not indicate intention is ineffective in the first place, and the father is really responsible. If we can't find a clue, let's go on vacation! Xiao Jing was very disgusted by this anonymous commission.

No, no, please learn from your father. Conan couldn't help but correct Xiao Jing's attitude in his heart.

Kogoro who came to the island immediately asked the village office about Keiji Aso, after all, the address was not even provided in the letter or on the phone. But the staff rummaged for a long time and did not find the name.

At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses came from the side.

"Ah, Director, you just came, this gentleman came here on the commission of the islanders. But I can't find the registration of the principal here, you know? It was a gentleman named Keiji Aso. "

"What? Did you say Keiji Aso? The director said in surprise, and the voice was so loud that the others here also heard it, and they all began to talk.

"There can't be such a thing.... Cause..... Because of him... He died more than a decade ago! The director finished his words intermittently from surprise to fear.

Just hearing the name is so obvious to be afraid? With the dilated pupils, the body trembles and can't even speak clearly, you are such an adult, don't be so afraid of ghosts. Xiao Jing thought helplessly.

"Please come to my office to explain the details for you." The director led the crowd into his office.

"He was born on our island and used to be a famous pianist, which happened twelve years ago on the night of the full moon. After returning to his hometown after many years, he held a piano concert in the village civic hall. However, after the concert, he suddenly locked up his home with his family and set it on fire, reportedly killing his wife and daughter with knives. In the roaring flames, it seems to be entangled in something, and he continues to play the piano, which is Beethoven's 'moonlight'. The director told Kogoro and the others about what he knew about Keiji Aso.

Kogoro took his leave after understanding the matter.

"Really, is it a letter written by the deceased? What a nasty prank. Kogoro said, staring at the envelope in his hand.

Xiao Jing looked down and recalled the memories of her previous life, which seemed to be the famous murder of the pseudonym. Uh, but I still don't remember the specific plot.... Anyway, the murderer is that honest doctor.

"That's right, this prank is so abominable. It turned out to be deliberately scary. Xiao Jing took the envelope in Kogoro's hand and quickly shredded it and threw it in the trash can on the side. I thought in my heart that it would be good not to investigate this case directly!

"Not necessarily, because the other party has paid all the fees, and the postmark is also covered by Moon Shadow Island." I think someone on the island must have asked his uncle to help him investigate the matter called Keiji Aso. Conan analyzed it speechlessly, watching Xiao Jing tear the envelope apart.

"Yes, maybe it's Mr. Aso's friend, go and ask the village chief on this island." Maybe you can find clues. Xiaolan also suggested on the side.

"It's not unreasonable, but the envelope has been torn by Xiao Jing, and it's a little troublesome to investigate." Kogoro said a little depressed, in fact, he himself planned to throw away the envelope.

"I think the contents of the envelope are very interesting, and I have already copied it." At this time, Conan took out a small book from his backpack and handed it to Kogoro. He instantly felt Xiao Jing stab him fiercely with his eyes.

"Then continue to investigate, I remember that the village chief came to the civic hall to find someone to ask." Saying that, he looked around and found that the Tsukikage Island Clinic was really good that there was a man dressed as a doctor saying goodbye to a child.

"That, sorry to interrupt... How do I get to the following civic center? Xiaolan asked the doctor after the child left.

"Hey, it's okay, just turn the corner in front and go straight to the end. Could it be that you're from Tokyo? The doctor showed the crowd the way and then moved on to other topics.

Hey, Tokyo doesn't have a distinct accent, how do you know we're from Tokyo? You flaw, I was the first to doubt you when I was Conan!

"The place where I was born is also in Tokyo, but this island is different from Tokyo. The air is fresh and very quiet. He said and opened his hand and made a comfortable motion.

But as if her platform was deliberately dismantled, one or two cars with horns drove by. "Shimizu, Masato Shimizu, please vote for Masato Shimizu!"

"But there are exceptions, because the election of village chiefs is about to be held." The doctor looked helplessly at the back of the vehicle.

"Village chief picked?" Kogoro asked subconsciously.

The doctor told everyone about the candidate chosen for the village chief, and said that the patient's opinion was to be voted for Mr. Kawashima.

"Okay, Miss Nurse, we have no interest in electing the village chief..." Kogoro interrupted the doctor a little embarrassed

"I'm the doctor here, Narumi Asai, but I have a full medical license." Cheng Shi corrected.

"It's a doctor, I'm really sorry." Kogoro hurriedly apologized.

"Now if you go to the civic hall, you can meet the three candidates I just mentioned, because tonight there will be a morning ceremony for the former village chief Mr. Kameyama."

Kogoro and the others came to the civic hall and expressed their intentions to the secretary. The secretary asked Kogoro and the others to wait for a while, and then went to inform the village chief on the sofa next to him.

Conan, on the other hand, wanted to investigate, so he sneaked away to see if there were any clues in the nearby room, after all, this was where Aso last played.

"Sister, Conan just ran away, I'll go over and take a look." Xiao Jing said hello to Xiao Lan first, and also planned to go over.

"What a worrying little ghost. Let's go together and see if there are any clues by the way. Kogoro also stood up.

Conan pushed the door of the room, found that it was not locked, looked inside, and pushed it open and walked in.

"No, Conan! Running around again. Xiaolan complained that Conan had started running around again.

"But this room is really big." Kogoro walked straight in when the door had been opened, looking around for a while out of detective instinct.

"Behind the civic hall is the sea, which is really nice here." Kogoro sighed.

"But this piano is really dirty, don't you know how to maintain it?" Although the lid is closed, there will still be dust. Xiao Jing looked at the piano with pity.

"Really, it just needs to be taken care of." Xiao Lan also took a closer look and made sure.

Kogoro and Conan's attention was naturally attracted to the piano at the same time, intending to take a look together.

"It seems to be a very high-end piano, and the dust does not enter the gap." Xiao Jing knocked on the piano, and suddenly the dust fell a lot from the piano easily. Obviously, there is not much resistance, and structurally speaking, it is quite a whole.

At this time, the secretary suddenly walked in, saw Xiao Jing's movements, and hurriedly shouted: "No..... Don't touch it, that piano was used by Mr. Aso on the day of his death, it is a cursed piano! "

"How come, curses or something are completely unbelievable." Kogoro naturally said with a look of disbelief.

"It's not just Mr. Aso, the same thing happened to the former village chief." The stronger secretary said with a serious look.

"So, that's Mr. Isamu Kameyama who did things today?" Xiao Lan said with some fear on the side.

"That's right! That was two years ago, it was two years ago I passed nearby, and there was a sound of pianos in the civic hall where there should be no one. When I walked in to see if anyone was still there and hadn't returned, the sound stopped immediately. When I got inside, Mr. Kameyama was buried on the piano! The cause of death was a heart attack. Later, I recalled that the piano sound was the moonlight sonata that Mr. Aso kept playing in the flames. "

"Since then, no one has dared to move this piano, and over time it has been called the cursed piano."

"Oh? I don't think this piano is any different. Xiao Jing directly opened the piano lid with the book in her hand. Conan also pressed a few times casually after Xiao Jing opened the lid.

"Can't move, you who will be cursed will also leave!" The secretary pulled Xiaojing and Conan out of the room, and at the same time urged Xiaogoro and Xiaoran inside to come out as well.

The secretary snapped the door shut after Kogoro and they came out, "All in all, please wait at the entrance before the ritual is over!" "

After the secretary left, Kogoro also met Mr. Shimizu, one of the candidates, and Narishi was with him. Greeted everyone and took his leave.

Helplessly, Kogoro and the others walked out directly from the inside and sat on the steps of the entrance to the entrance to wait.

"Strange, that piano should have been used by no one for several years, but the sound is still very normal." Conan recalled the piano just now and muttered.

"Probably someone secretly adjusted. And although there is dust on the piano, it also seems to be deliberately disguised and sprinkled. Overall this piano is very well preserved. Xiao Jing approached Conan and said casually.

"Then what is the other party's purpose? And what exactly does that letter mean? Conan continued to look down and think.

It means that there will continue to be dead people, of course I won't tell you.
