Kindaichi of Kexue World

Chapter 105 Three Detectives Two Ideas
On the way back to the hotel, Conan and his friends described the scene of Hideo Kawashima's death as well as the relevant clues and reasoning.

Kindaichi also told Conan and his party what he saw and heard, that is, those fantastic processes have been adapted to some extent.

"Wow! Ms. Liu Lizi can hypnotize?!" Mori Kogoro exclaimed, "Not only are you young and beautiful, but you are also really versatile!"

"It's just that I read a lot, and I happen to know a little bit, which is not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Sakura Liulizi said modestly.

Next, the two people discussed while walking, not only integrating the existing clues, but also put forward two different ideas in the end.

The first way of thinking.

At this time, the village chief election is going on on the island.

Don't look at it as a mere village chief, but don't use bean buns as dry food.

Judging from the living conditions of the villagers on Yueying Island, although it is remote, it is not poor. On the contrary, it is very wealthy. Therefore, the position of village chief still has extraordinary value.

According to the current understanding, the most dominant candidate is undoubtedly Hideo Kawashima, a big capitalist in the village.

The one who died happened to be Hideo Kawashima.

So in terms of motivation, it is likely that someone used the legend of Keiji Aso’s mysterious death and cursed piano 12 years ago to eliminate competitors.

From the perspective of alibi, as long as you prepare in advance, people from the same faction will cover each other, and it is not difficult to create an alibi in a crowded ritual venue.

Therefore, Masato Shimizu and his henchmen, who sent people to monitor the detective team, are very suspected of murder.

He is currently the second most popular candidate for the village head. Only Hideo Kawashima stands in front of him, so his motivation is very strong.

On the other hand, as the big boss and faction leader, Hideo Kawashima would naturally not be invited out so easily, unless he was a high-level defection from a competing faction, so he would not disappear.

Among the supporters of Masato Shimizu, there are many people who vacillate between him and Hideo Kawashima. It is not impossible to have one more person who pretends to vote for honesty as an assassin.

Of course, another candidate, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, is not a small suspect, perhaps even bigger than Shimizu Masato.

Because the person who sent the letter to the detectives was unlikely to be Masato Shimizu, otherwise he would have spotted them at the pier.

Moreover, Heiyan Chenji was at a greater disadvantage in the election for the village chief. As the former village chief, he must be more eager to keep his position.

Even the other high-level leaders in the Hideo Kawashima faction are not completely impossible, after all, it is a Japanese tradition to "undertake the top".

But there is a problem with this direction of thinking.

Why did the murderer send the detectives a murder notice similar to the challenge letter?

This is of no benefit to them. It is important to know that scandals are the most taboo thing during election campaigns. Even rumors that are rumors have a great impact.

When the detectives come, they will inevitably uncover the old events of 12 years ago and the old cases that have been concluded two years ago.

At present, this old case has already involved the former village head and several candidates for the village head.

Even if there is no inside story about this matter, the rumors spread by the villagers will inevitably cause the candidate's reputation to be damaged to varying degrees.

From this point of view, all candidates will inevitably be affected. Will they really do things that hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred?
Then another idea emerged.

The murderer is someone related to Isamu Kameyama, who died two years ago, or Keiji Aso, who died 12 years ago.

There may be something hidden about the deaths of these two people, and the relevant person is Hideo Kawashima.

After the murderer learned of the matter intentionally or unintentionally, he had the idea of ​​revenge.

So Hideo Kawashima died.

Among them, a clue discovered by Conan can serve as evidence for this conjecture.

He had played a piece of music on the "cursed piano" before, a children's song called "Stepped on the Cat."

Although this nursery rhyme is not very difficult to play, it has a large range span and frequent ups and downs, taking care of many keys on the piano in a short time.

It is very amazing that when Conan played, there was not a single note that was out of tune.

According to the villagers, since the piano was moved from Huohai to the community room, no one wanted to touch it because of the legend of the "cursed piano".

However, it is impossible for a piano that has not been used and maintained for many years to maintain such accurate pitch.

This proves that someone has secretly maintained this piano, and the worst thing is that it has adjusted the pitch.

Who would do that?
It must be someone related to Keiji Aso, the original owner of this piano.

The identity of this person is likely to be Keiji Aso's relatives, friends, apprentices, admirers, etc.

And this person is likely to be the murderer.

In addition, the way the murderer kills is very ritualistic.

The day he picked was the night of the full moon.

Even if it takes some effort, the deceased must lie down in front of the "cursed piano".

The piano piece "Moonlight" is played after the death of the deceased.

The murderer must have gained something in this act.

If it is not to disrupt the direction of the police investigation, it is to satisfy some emotional needs of his own, such as revenge.

But such a murderer also has the same problem. Why did he write a letter to find the detective?

Isn't he afraid that the detective will spoil his good work?

Or is this person a perverted murderer, all he plays is the heartbeat, and it doesn't matter if the murder succeeds or fails?
In any case, the existence of this letter has cast a layer of fog over the entire murder incident.

[The next full moon night, on Moon Shadow Island, shadows will start to disappear again, please investigate the reason.Keiji Aso. 】

What is the meaning of this letter?

"Oops!" Conan suddenly said: "This case is not over yet!"

"[The shadow will start to disappear again] means that this case may not have only one victim!" Conan said anxiously.

Everyone hurriedly took out the letter they had received, and they really used such a sentence.

"Damn it!" Mori Kogoro clutched the envelope tightly in his hand: "This is clearly a challenge to me!"

"What should we do now? We don't know who the murderer will be next?" Mao Lilan was worried.

"If the truth of the case is that the village head elected to exclude dissidents, then the next victim must be one of Shimizu Masato and Kuroiwa Tatsuji. If it is revenge for Aso Keiji, then it is hard to say who the next victim will be !” Kindaichiji thought for a while and said.

"That's it! Let's split into two groups again!" Mori Kogoro said: "You guys go to the piano in the community room to guard. The three deaths so far have all happened next to the piano. The next murder Probably happened there too!"

"how about you?"

"Dr. Chengshi and I went to the village chief's house and Shimizu Zheng's house to remind them to be careful, and then join you. After all, they are likely to be the murderer's next target!"

"I think since Keiji Aso is the starting point of everything, it is still necessary for us to quickly investigate Keiji Aso's information, such as the hospital's medical files or death reports. If the murderer is really out for revenge, the victim may not be It's those two candidates for village chief!"

"Then we have to split into three groups!"
