A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 20 Confused clues

"How did you sleep last night?"

"Very well, thank you Ms. Asai for your hospitality."

"Oh, don't mention it, it's hard to say."

Last night, when Conan and Noah went back, Xiaolan and Uncle Maori had already gone back to their room. There were not many vacant rooms in this public house, so Noah and Conan could only sleep together.

Unexpectedly, Conan didn't sleep honestly at all. He kept talking in his sleep at night, saying to catch the murderer and don't run away. The situation will be better, but the result is of course that there is no change at all. I just punched Conan unconscious, and I haven't woken up yet.

"Ah, it hurts so much, it seems like someone hit me on the head."

While everyone was eating breakfast, Conan came out with his head covered, and asked in a scream.

"It's like this. You didn't sleep well last night, but you hit the wall next to you and passed out directly."

Noah explained with a guilty conscience that he didn't leave any traces when he shot, so he shouldn't be discovered. Of course, Conan wondered when he was so dishonest in his sleep. Just about to ask carefully, Asai came in from the outside and asked.

"Mr. Maori, do you have any plans on the island? After all, you have to stay for such a long time."

"No, we were in a hurry when we came here, we didn't prepare anything, and we didn't know any interesting places on Moon Shadow Island."

Mao Li looked at Asai with a nymphomaniac expression, and he didn't care about the disgusting eyes of the people around him. Asai was naturally a little embarrassed to be looked at by Uncle Mao Li like this, and quickly looked at Xiaolan as if asking for help.

Of course Xiaolan would not be polite, she stretched out her hand and pulled her father away from Qianjing's side, and communicated with him by herself.

"Our village is going to hold a village chief election in the past two days. If you have nothing to do, you can stay and visit."

"Okay, we don't have anything to do, and we have plenty of time."

……

The selection of the village head of Moon Shadow Island is actually participated by the villagers. Everyone has the right. On the night before the election of the village head, the villagers have to pay homage to the former village head, Isamu Kameda. Although Conan Noah and the others are only sightseeing guests, but also came here to watch the memorial ceremony together.

Today's memorial ceremony was not smooth, because Hideo Kawashima, who was the candidate village head, did not show up at the scene, and the current village head Tatsuji Kuroiwa looked annoyed. It is really annoying that the candidate is not at the scene for such a big matter.

Suddenly, a melodious pianist resounded in my ears, and the faces of the villagers at the scene became ugly, even a little scared. Conan noticed this keenly, and wondered in his heart why the villagers here hated the sound of the piano so much.

"Ah!! It's dead!"

A scream broke the sound of the piano, and Conan and Maoli's expressions became solemn for a moment, and they ran to the mansion quickly, because the dead person was in the mansion where they lived, and on that piano.

"This is Kawashima, why is he here?"

The villagers who followed him recognized the deceased and couldn't help asking questions. Mao Li's quality as a policeman was reflected.

"Xiaolan, Noah, you go and call the police here, and the others stay on the scene and don't come in and out at will."

"Who are you and why did you order us?"

"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Mori Kogoro, and I'm a detective."

The place is remote, and I have never heard of Maori's reputation, but after knowing his occupation, he still chose to obey. Maori borrowed a pair of gloves from the villagers, and went into the house to observe the scene. Of course Conan would not give up such a good opportunity, and so on. When the police come, you can't get in.

……

Noah and Xiaolan ran all the way to the police office, but unfortunately there was only one old policeman in the police office here, and he was not in the house, so the two had to follow the clues provided by the villagers to search along the road, and they didn't go far before they met The old policeman who was rushing back.

Noah hurriedly told the other party what happened, but unexpectedly, the old policeman was a little deaf. The more Noah expressed his eagerness, the more ridiculous the other party's listening was. Xiao Lan also tried to explain to the other party, and the effect was the same.

The situation was urgent, Noah put the policeman on his back and ran all the way to the public hall. The old policeman yelled on Noah's back to tell him to slow down. His old bones couldn't stand such a toss. The police almost had their last breath left, and they almost didn't recover, otherwise Noah would become a murderer.

……

"There are no other policemen here, so we can only call to inform the outside."

Seeing that Mao Li handled the scene more sophisticatedly than himself, the veteran policeman looked at Mao Li with a strange look in his eyes. Mao Li hurriedly explained his occupation and his past police work, so that the old policeman could rest assured and called Notify the outside.

"Officer Mumu said that this place is too remote, and it will take tomorrow for them to arrive. We can only rely on us to maintain the scene tonight, and let Mr. Mori work hard for you."

It was the old acquaintance Police Officer Mumu who answered the phone. Knowing that Uncle Mao Li was also there, he asked him to pay more attention. The old policeman's attitude towards Mao Li became more intimate, and the power was handed over to Mao Li.

"Conan, did you find anything so serious.?
After Noah brought the old policeman over, he also entered the scene to observe. His own reasoning and detection is no match for Conan, but his perception ability has been greatly improved recently, allowing him to observe places that ordinary people can't detect, such as murderous intent.

"There is one more sheet of music here than when we came yesterday, and nothing else is different. The deceased did not die here, but was brought here after being drowned, and was put in such a pose by the murderer."

There is another point that Conan did not say in public. The murder notice letter received by Uncle Mori is true, and this time the murderer has an important relationship with Keiji Aso who died in 12. It may be related to this, and the reason for not speaking out is for fear of causing panic.

What puzzled Conan was that the murderer of this incident should have been planning for a long time, and the scene was handled very cleanly. He has not found anything suspicious so far, so why did he send the murder notice to Uncle Maori? What is it for?

Noah also looked at the scene with a frown. Although he has no detective talent, he can tell that the scene is almost the same as when he came yesterday. There is only the music score on the piano. Asia has also seen, the famous "Moonlight Symphony".

Now everyone on the island is very likely to be a suspect, so the work of vigil at night must not be left to the villagers. Uncle Mao Li asked Xiaolan and Asai to rest, and the three of them and the old police guarded here to prevent the scene from being destroyed.

The uncle originally wanted Conan to go too, but Conan refused to go anyway, saying that he wanted to be with brother Noah. Noah naturally didn't believe it, so he sneered. You are so obsessed with corpses, aren't you afraid of being regarded as a pervert by others?

Xiaolan originally persuaded Conan and herself to go back to sleep, but after seeing Conan's appearance, she stopped persuading and went out with Chengshi, but there seemed to be some inexplicable meaning in the eyes that looked at Conan.
