Conan Moslin

Li An stayed in the piano room. She told Mr. Maori that if there was a mechanism on the piano, she might be able to help.

Hirata's face turned bleak after hearing these words, and even the village chief behind him looked unhappy.

All of this was seen by Kurian and Conan.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Li An's eyes, but he quickly retracted it.

Except for Kogoro Mori, Dr. Asai and Conan, the others spontaneously formed a semicircle, keeping a certain distance from the piano.

Kogoro Maori didn't ask any more questions, but just kept this in mind.

He turned his gaze to Dr. Asai who also stayed behind: "Dr. Cheng Shi, could you please come and perform the autopsy?"

"Oh, okay." Asai, who had been a little dazed because the radio played the "Storm Sonata" which was not there, nodded and approached Kawashima's body.

Dr. Asai walked up to Kawashima and examined the condition of the body with a slightly unfamiliar technique.

When Maori Kogoro and the people around him emphasized that he was the famous detective Maori Kogoro but was not recognized, Conan quietly walked around to Kurian with a radio and whispered to her: "I just found that there were traces of dragging at the door and a coat floating on the beach. It should be Mr. Hirata's."

Although Xiaolan has recently dispelled her doubts about her, she still wants to ask him some questions intentionally or unintentionally, as if she wants to find out other relationships between him and Kudo Shinichi. He'd better be cautious.

Li An nodded vaguely.

Doctor Asai spoke up at this time: "The estimated time of death is thirty minutes to an hour ago. The cause of death was suffocation. I think Mr. Kawashima must have drowned in the sea."

Li An stood up and spoke as if he were relaying what Conan was saying: "Mr. Maori, I just saw traces outside from the window. Mr. Kawashima was dragged in from the beach at the back door..."

Maori Kogoro glanced at Conan, who had almost disrupted all the traces at the door but did not speak at this time, and nodded: "I roughly understand this point."

Then he asked Dr. Asai: "Are you sure he died of drowning?"

Conan fiddled with the radio in his hand, then put it on the ground. He looked out the window and saw the rain falling vertically. In fact, there was no trace of dragging at all.

You can vaguely see a piece of clothing rising and falling with the sea water, but it stubbornly refuses to float away.

After saying that, Li An continued to look at various places on the piano, and then she looked at the middle of the piano lid.

A sheet of music was tucked in there.

Doctor Asai said with some embarrassment: "I can't make a conclusion without an autopsy."

Maori Kogoro pinched his chin and thought: "If the door of this room is locked, since we have been staying at the entrance, I think the possibility of the criminal returning to the memorial service venue is quite high."

Hearing this, Kuroiwa Reiko was a little shocked and said, "Wait...wait a minute, you mean...the criminal is still among us?"

Behind him, the village chief Heiyan, who was standing in the front, clenched his teeth, and Qingshui's face was very serious.

The hedgehog-headed man's face turned blue and he looked quite nervous.

Maori Kogoro's eyes were sharp: "Yes, the criminal is in here."

He looked at the people watching and asked, "Excuse me, did anyone see Mr. Kawashima leave his seat in the middle of the ritual?"

Kuroiwa replied: "Oh, I know about that. I'm sure he meant to go to the bathroom."

"Otherwise, has anyone seen anyone leave their seat?" he asked again.

Murasawa said disapprovingly: "How can you remember everything about that?"

Maori Kogoro followed up with the third question: "So, what if Mr. Kawashima had offended someone?"

Village Chief Kuroiwa added: "It's not that I offended him. But the person who was most happy after Mr. Kawashima's death was Mr. Shimizu, who was also a candidate for the village chief election."

"What are you talking about? It's the same for you, right? Village Chief Heiwa!" Qingshui accused.

"Yes, you're right. If someone hadn't arranged Mr. Kawashima's votes to become his own votes, my father would have been elected long ago," Lingzi said.

Qingshui gritted his teeth: "What?"

Maori Kogoro stopped several people who were about to quarrel: "Okay... calm down."

"Judging from what happened two years ago, this was a planned murder."

"But why did the criminal move the body to this room?" Conan asked.

Li An's gaze followed.

Feeling Li An's gaze, Conan shuddered violently and decided to do what a child should do.

"That's because he wants to blame the murder on the curse of the piano." Maori Kogoro answered briefly and turned the focus to the piano. "By the way, when was this piano here?"

Hirata said, "That was donated by Mr. Aso 15 years ago. He has been here ever since."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "It's Mr. Aso."

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

At this time, Li An pulled out a dozen music scores from between the keyboard covers. She flipped through them briefly, inserted a page into the sheet without anyone noticing, and then exclaimed in confusion, "This piece of music... wasn't here before?"

"Is it a music score? That's strange. There was nothing like this when I looked at it during the day." Kogoro Mouri took the music score and looked at it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

But as soon as they finished speaking, the faces of several people several feet away changed.

Li An thought that their expressions were really rich enough that they could open a paint shop.

When the hedgehog-haired man heard these words, he seemed to be immersed in fear. His already blue face turned even bluer and grayer, and his whole body was shaking. He rushed through the crowd and ran out of the community center without even having time to get an umbrella.

The rain hit his body, making him even more embarrassed, but he didn't care at all.

What made him even more frightened was that the music in his ears seemed to begin to echo again.

The first movement of "Moonlight" seems to be mixed with another melody.

"Don't... don't play it anymore!"

From far away, people in the community center could hear him shouting in a voice that almost tore his throat.

Conan looked up and said to Maori Kogoro and Kuriyasu in annoyance, "Strange, I clearly pressed the start button a few minutes ago, why is there music now?"
