Conan's Silence in the Dark

"Huh? Did you hear anything? Kogoro asked.

Conan Xiaolan listened after hearing it, and Xiaojing looked at the bright moonlight above the night sky.

"Oops, it's moonshine!" Conan ran over first. Kogoro also hurriedly got up and followed.

When they arrived, there were already some people who felt strange gathered in front of the door, and Kogoro directly pushed the door open to find Mr. Kawashima lying on the piano.

"Maybe there's a case, and none of you are allowed to come in!" Kogoro said and stepped forward to check on Mr. Kawashima.

"Already dead." It didn't take long for Kogoro to determine Mr. Kawashima's death.

"What!" The villagers outside the door exclaimed.

"Xiaolan, you hurry up and call the police. Dr. Cheng Shi, can I trouble you to come to the autopsy? Kogoro instantly entered work mode, and his expression became serious.

"Okay." Chengshi nodded.

"It's a curse, that's the curse of that piano." Hirata pointed to the piano in horror and said.

"What's the curse, it's not the piano that's making the sound, it's just this tape recorder." Saying that, Kogoro pressed the tape recorder found behind the piano, and sure enough, the sound of the piano came from inside.

"Based on what is happening now and with the money for two years, it's quite possible that this is a planned killing." Kogoro said assertively.

"Kill.... Homicide? "

"Don't you say some nonsense, who the hell are you?" Now the village chief's son asked.

"Anyway, my father is also a famous detective in Tokyo. But you must not have heard of this kind of place, but at least listen to my father's judgment before you. Xiao Jing came out to make an introduction for Kogoro and walked towards Chengshi at the same time.

Conan looked at the water stains on the ground, stained a little, and tasted it in his mouth. Sea water?

"Hey, you're not afraid to put medicine in it and taste it like this? You deserve to die! Xiao Jing warned Conan's movements.

"Uh.... I didn't think so much about it later, I noticed. Conan, who was all focused on the event, didn't think about it at all.

Xiao Jing watched her autopsy next to Cheng Shi, and Cheng Shi naturally knew about Xiao Jing when he sent a letter to Xiao Goro. Therefore, it did not stop the appearance of concentrating on the post-mortem.

"It is inferred that the time of death was thirty minutes to an hour ago, and the cause of death was asphyxiation. I think Mr. Kawashima must have drowned in the sea, but I can't say anything without dissecting it. Chengshi said based on his findings.

At the same time, Conan also found Mr. Kawashima's coat in the sea outside, and the water stains on the ground were dragged from the door facing the sea. In addition, there was also mud and sand behind the victim, and it was basically determined that he drowned in the sea.

"According to what you said about the time when Mr. Kawashima went to the toilet, the murderer's route was basically determined to take Kawashima to the beach, drowned Mr. Kawashima, and then dragged him back to this room." Kogoro said after thinking about the water stains on the ground and the time Mr. Kawashima went to the bathroom.

"The doors and windows here are locked from the inside." Xiao Jing pointed to the door behind her now with a book and said.

"Because a few of us are at the entrance of the entrance, if we come out from this entrance, we will definitely meet." But we didn't see anyone coming out. Xiao Jing continued, giving Kogoro a look at the same time.

Kogoro immediately straightened his tie and cleared his throat: "So the prisoner, as I expected, is the murder and then returned to the law, that is, the murderer is among you!" Kogoro said, pointing to everyone.

"What!" The crowd pointed at let out a terrified cry.

"Who saw anyone else in the ritual who has also left?" Kogoro asked everyone.

"How can I remember all this kind of thing, after all, I was trying to pay attention to the people who left." The son of the village chief, still wearing an eye hat, replied.

"So who did Mr. Kawashima offend?"

"It's not about offending, but after he dies, it can be said that it is the most beneficial to Qingshui." The current village chief said.

"Then it's the same with yourself, Chief Kuroiwa!" Shimizu, of course, immediately refuted.

"Yes, if someone hadn't arranged Mr. Kawashima's vote source as his own, my father would have been elected long ago." The village chief's daughter also attached her father to fight Qingshui.

The secretary hurriedly made a round for them.

"But why did the murderer move the body to this room?" Conan looked at the room and asked.

"Definitely trying to attribute the murder to the piano curse just like the last time." By the way, when did this piano start here? Kogoro asked after walking to the piano to explain.

"It was donated by Mr. Aso ten years ago, and it's been here ever since." It was still the secretary Hirata who answered.

"Yes, sir?"

"Yes, his name is also engraved on the keyboard cover."

"Really." Kogoro checked the lid and found a sheet music at the same time.

"Strange, during the day, there is no such thing." At this time, a person rushed out with an unusual expression and asked the secretary to learn that it was Mr. Nishimoto. And at this time, Xiaolan arrived belatedly with the gray-haired old policeman.

Finally, because it was late, the inquiry was scheduled to begin tomorrow morning.

On the way back, Narishi and Kogoro travel together.

"Your daughter is as good as you, and this child is also very qualified." Chengshi praised Xiao Jing and the others.

"Where, the little girl just learned from her mother. As for this little ghost..."Kogoro is very satisfied with his daughter's other places besides being more withdrawn. And Conan...

"That's his father's teaching, Conan likes to run around with his father, so he can also be considered his father's assistant, right?" Xiao Jing also took the opportunity to tell the identity of the conan, just when his father would definitely admit it at this time.

"Haha, that's right, this kid is far worse than me. Hahaha. Kogoro's reaction was as Xiao Jing expected, this cheap dad is actually good at everything. Compared with the speechless supporting character in the anime, the real Kogoro does not give Xiao Jing a bad feeling, love family, excellent judo, very concerned about his relatives, and reasoning ability is actually remarkable. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, and I can't help but boast .... Some arrogance... The most important thing is that both of them are very hard-mouthed with their mothers... Fortunately, he and Xiaolan made a seasoning, otherwise the relationship between these two people would still be the same as in the anime.

"Then we're going back to the hotel too," Kogoro said goodbye to Narishi.

"Then goodbye, please quickly solve the murder, because I don't want to do post-mortem work anymore."

"No problem, things are very simple as long as they are in my hands! Hahaha. Kogoro naturally agreed.

Chengshi saw that Kogoro agreed very cheerfully, so he left with a sigh of relief.

"Father, please don't get carried away, there are still many mysteries unsolved." Xiao Jing saw Cheng Shi leave and immediately poured cold water on Kogoro.

"Well, sooner or later, you have to trust Daddy!"

"Hi hi, I've always believed in father." I believe you will definitely not be able to unravel it in such a short time.

"Wait, uncle's letter says that there is a shadow disappearing..." Then Conan deduced through the copy in his notebook that someone might be killed, especially moonshine also became the key word.

Xiao Jing admired Conan's reasoning in her heart, but she vaguely felt that the words that had just come true also had the meaning of prompting.

Kogoro used his original police nature when he knew that it might be a serial murder, and asked Xiaoran to go back to the civic hall alone.

And Conan, who was also concerned about the incident, also followed, and Xiaolan, who was helpless, had to pull Xiao Jing to follow.

"Didn't you tell you to go back first?"

"Because Conan also came with me, so..." In fact, Xiaolan didn't want to follow.

"By the way, who moved the body casually." Kogoro looked at the corpse that had been placed on the ground on the side.

"Of course it's me, if I keep that posture, the bodhisattva will be pitiful." The old uncle police on the island brought Kogoro a sleeping bag.

"It's really nerve-wracking, and it hasn't been verified on site." Kogoro was quite helpless with this policeman.

"The score is gone!" Conan, who had planned to study the score, found that the score was gone.

"Oh, that score, here I am." The old man took out the sheet music from his arms.

"Hey, this is the score of moonlight." Xiaolan, who was closer, looked at the sheet music and said.

Koran flicked it and found that the fourth paragraph was strange, while Kogoro reasoned that it might be Kawashima's death message, believing that the murderer would return to retrieve the music score to eliminate the evidence.

At this time, Chengshi also came over in the name of delivering a late-night snack.

While Chengshi was chatting with everyone, Xiao Jing, who was sitting on the left side of Chengshi, observed it up close again.

That's right..... What about women....

At this time, Kogoro and Chengshi inquired about the death of the village chief two years ago.

"To say something suspicious, I remember that there was a window that was open, and it was that window." Chengshi pointed to the window next to the piano.

Conan and Kogoro immediately noticed a suspicious figure outside the window and chased after him. However, because it was too dark around, I lost it all at once. However, Conan and Kogoro were sure that the prisoners would come to destroy the evidence, and they decided to take turns to keep vigil.

And Xiao Jing also plans to persuade Cheng Shi at this time.

Although it was a vigil proposed by Kogoro, he couldn't support falling asleep at twelve, and it was originally time to change shifts with his old man at twelve. But after all, when he was old, the old man couldn't wake up at all, so he had to keep Conan and the others keep vigil.

Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Lan, who was already sleepy, and pulled Chengshi's hand.

"Sister Chengshi, go to the toilet with me, it's too dark outside for me..." This afraid Xiaojing was really a little unspeakable, because she didn't camp in the wild when she traveled in her previous life.

Chengshi naturally only thought that Xiao Jing was afraid to go alone because she was afraid, and Xiao Lan was also in a state of half sleep, so she found a relatively awake self.

Chengshi pulled Xiao Jing to open the door and go out to the toilet. Conan did not doubt this, still vigilant while thinking about the case.
