Conan Moslin

At this time, Kogoro Mori, who came back to call a few people back to the hotel, and Dr. Asai, who happened to be planning to travel together, walked in.

Seeing Yuko carrying Conan, Maori Kogoro asked Conan: "Conan, what did you do again?"

Yuko put Conan on the ground. He didn't dare to run and could only laugh.

Li An has already handed the cloth bag to Dr. Asai.

"Doctor Cheng Shi, this was found in the secret compartment under the piano. It may be helpful to the case."

Dr. Narumi Asai opened the cloth bag and saw the white powder inside the plastic. His expression became a little solemn.

Since it is hidden in such a secluded place and is white powder, the most likely possibility is...

Li An carefully observed the changing expression of Asai Chengmi, and then said: "Although I don't really understand this, I think this should be... Hailuoyin."

Kogoro Mouri and Conan almost simultaneously thought of Ken Nishimoto who had just run out in the rain.

In fact, Ken Nishimoto's expression and behavior are very consistent with the image of a drug addict.

He was thin, with sunken cheekbones, constricted pupils, and a dazed look.

However, judging from the time, he only started to behave like this after Mr. Kameyama passed away two years ago. A month ago, he saw something that greatly stimulated him.

Mao Lilan said with some confusion: "I remember Mr. Hirata said that this piano was donated by Mr. Keiji Aso. Why did this... this thing appear?"

The police officer seemed to have thought of something, and clapped his hands and said, "Oh! I remember now. Sometimes, I saw Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Hirata come to the community center late at night..."

Maori Kogoro suddenly realized: "In other words, Mr. Hirata said that the piano was cursed, and Mr. Hirata and Mr. Kawashima had a conflict during the transaction, so he killed him to silence him?"

"There is absolutely no mistake, the murderer is Mr. Hirata!" He was almost certain of the result, and he raised his head proudly and laughed.

"As expected of Kogoro Akechi!" the police officer echoed.

Maori Kogoro's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned to the police officer and roared: "Not Akechi! I am Maori! The famous detective Maori Kogoro!"

At this time, Conan's words floated into the ears of everyone present.

"But...what about that letter of commission? If Mr. Hirata and Mr. Kawashima had a sudden conflict, why would they send such a letter to you, Uncle Mori, in advance?" Conan looked thoughtful, "Also, the music score that suddenly appeared on the piano..."

"That's what Sister Li An thinks, right?"

In Conan's opinion, everything will be fine if he can just put the blame on adults.

Kuroba Kuriyasu had just been watching the interaction between Mr. Maori and the police officer with great interest, and was finding it very interesting, but then he was suddenly blamed by Conan, with his slightly ingratiating smile.

Fine.

She quickly thought about what had "already appeared" and then said, "First of all, the commission letter that Mr. Mao Li showed me before said that shadows began to disappear."

"Where there is a beginning, there is an end." Li An walked around the piano, went to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the blurred moon shadow under the rain. "Obviously, Mr. Kawashima's death is just the beginning, not the end."

When his eyes moved downward, Li An saw a dark shadow standing outside the blurry window.

He is of large build, broad shoulders and very tall.

He was holding an umbrella and obviously didn't expect anyone to open the curtains.

The black shadow seemed to be stunned for a moment, then disappeared immediately.

There was only an upside-down umbrella left, still shaking. Soon a lot of water accumulated and the umbrella ribs were almost crushed.

"There's someone outside!" When Conan saw this person, he immediately walked past Li An, opened the window and jumped out despite the rain.

Kogoro Mouri was a step slower, so he snatched the still dry umbrella that Asai Makoto had just brought in and jumped out of the window, opening his umbrella and trying hard to hold it up as he chased after the man.

The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, making it difficult to keep the umbrella open, so he gave up and just ran away holding on to it.

Only a group of people were left here in a daze.

Mao Lilan leaned against the window and shouted, "Dad! Conan! It's still raining heavily outside!"

……

At this time, such a conversation was taking place in the community center.

"Doctor Asai, I always felt that you looked familiar since I saw you. Have we met somewhere before?" Li An brought the umbrella from outside the window in and splashed the water out of the window. She half leaned on the window frame and turned to ask Asai Chengmi.

"What? Do I look like anyone?" Asai Narimi's heart tightened, but he just asked jokingly.

Kuroba Kurian looked at him carefully and nodded meaningfully.

"But maybe this is just a coincidence." Li An smiled and didn't seem to care about this question. "I have a younger brother. When he was a child, he looked almost exactly like Conan who ran away."

Hearing this, Asai Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were such a coincidence, the resemblance between him and his sister would not be so obvious.

"Anyway, I'd like to ask Officer and Dr. Chengshi to convey what I haven't finished saying." Li An stood up, leaned his umbrella against the window, and said to the two people, "When I was looking through it just now, I found that the fourth section of the score is a little different from "Moonlight."

Then, she said to Mao Lilan: "Xiao Lan, why don't you come back with us and find some clean clothes for Mr. Mao Li and Conan. I don't think Mr. Mao Li will go back to rest tonight."

Mao Lilan nodded.

Doctor Cheng Shi thought for a moment and said, "If you have to stay here overnight, there are some sleeping bags at the clinic. I can send them over."

……

Conan and his companion naturally failed to catch up with the man. When they came back with wet feet, they found that the police officer was the only one left in the community center.

Oh, and there's Mr. Kawashima lying on the ground.

The police officer with round glasses was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window at the bright full moon in the rain, and sighed: "If it rains again tomorrow... the other police officers and the coroner won't be able to come."

Hearing this and seeing Kawashima being moved to the ground, Maori Kogoro touched his hair which was still dripping with water and said in a speechless tone: "This is really a headache. We haven't even verified the scene yet..."

"Officer, where are Sister Xiaolan and the others?" Conan also tugged at his slightly wet clothes and bow tie.

Oops, his bow-tie voice changer seems to have gotten wet...

After this, I must ask Dr. Agasa to prepare a waterproof voice changer!

"Oh...them..." the police officer explained slowly.
