Conan Moslin
Chapter 55: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - Notes
From Kuria's previous words, Conan knew that someone else might be killed. On the way back from the unsuccessful pursuit, he also told Kogoro Mori about this idea.
After learning this, Kogoro Mori immediately decided to stay in the community center tonight and wait for the arrival of the police to prevent the person from coming to take the music score and the drugs, or even continue killing people.
But they were both soaked, and they were still regretting that they had to go back to the hotel to change clothes before coming back, but when they heard Li An asking Xiaolan to get clothes, they felt warmed up whole body and mind.
When the police officer said that there seemed to be something wrong with the fourth section of the music, Conan looked at the piano stand: "Huh? Strange? Why is the music missing?"
"What???" Kogoro widened his eyes.
The police officer smiled and took out a folded paper from his inside pocket and raised it proudly: "I think the paper is not missing, look!"
Maori Kogoro and Conan: ...
……
The four people who had already left separated at the fork in the road. The doctor went to the clinic to get a spare sleeping bag, while Li An and the other two returned to the hotel.
After Kuriyasu and Yuko entered the house, Yuko was obviously relieved.
"Sister Li An, isn't this a bit too long..."
"No problem. One of the main purposes of my test this time is to see how long it lasts."
"Well then... don't be so stubborn."
"Yuuko, there's a call over there...If Asai comes, you can just do as I say."
Kuroba Kurian walked quickly into his room and locked the door.
Soon, the doorbell rang impatiently.
Yuko opened the door.
A very gentle female voice sounded: "Excuse me, is this Ms. Yuko and Ms. Kuriyasu's room?"
"Dr. Asai, why are you here?"
Doctor Asai looked up and smiled apologetically at her.
"I'm sorry to bother you so late, Miss Yuko. It's like this, I just remembered that the police officer told me that a couple called Soraki came here twelve years ago. I wanted to ask about your relationship with them, maybe it can help with the case."
Yuko Soramu was a little surprised and said, "My grandparents did come here, but they can't be related to the case... They left before the fire."
"If you're asking about the fire twelve years ago, I can tell you directly that my grandmother brought back a child from Moon Shadow Island..."
She patted her head as if she remembered something.
"Wait a minute, let me call Sister Li An... I remember she brought photos... I really don't know why she brought photos, to let the photos experience life on the island?"
"That's a photo from seven years ago, taken by my grandmother."
When she got to this point, she suddenly frowned, carefully observed Asai Makoto for a while, and then said, "Come to think of it, what Li An said is true... You look a bit like her, don't you?"
When Asai Narimi heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.
He interrupted Yuko's recollection and said goodbye in a very calm voice: "Ah, it's so late, don't bother looking for photos... I won't bother you anymore..."
……
Kogoro Mouri, Conan and the police officer who stayed in the community center looked at each other in silence.
The police officer still smiled.
Soon, Mao Lilan came back with clothes first. She asked in confusion, "Strange, Miss Cheng Shi hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet."
"Xiao Lan, have you called the police?"
"I called a few people when I went out with Miss Yuko, but none of them went through. Then we went straight to find the police officer in the village." Xiaolan reacted and immediately called again.
The call was connected, but the signal was not good and was a bit intermittent.
Maybe because of the wind and rain outside, the noise here is very serious, making it almost impossible to hear what the person's original voice sounds like.
However, Mao Lilan still heard that the voice was very nice, but it was not the voice of the police officer she was familiar with: "Hello, this is Tokyo...Excuse me, is there anything you need to report?"
It can be said that she is so used to calling the police that the police officers who answer the calls probably recognize her voice.
But this one obviously didn't know.
Mao Lilan briefly stated what happened, including the fact that a detective and police officer were present.
At this time, Kogoro Mouri grabbed the phone.
The voice on the other end seemed a little embarrassed: "...I understand what you said. The problem now is that due to the weather, the police officers cannot leave immediately."
"When can the other police officers and the coroner arrive?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
There was a pause, and then the faint sound of him and someone confirming something came from the receiver.
Kogoro Mori heard that the other voice should be a female voice.
The already unclear sound on the phone became even more blurred, and Kogoro Mouri could hardly hear what was being said on the other end.
Soon, a reply came from the other side: "Sir, if the rain does not continue, the police officer will arrive at the scene tomorrow evening."
"I understand." Kogoro Mouri returned the phone to his daughter.
The police officer confirmed some information with Mao Lilan.
Before hanging up the phone, Mao Lilan heard a smile in the voice on the other end: "I hope this case didn't scare you, Miss."
The voice whispered, "Sweet dreams to you."
After hanging up the phone, Conan pestered Ran Mouri to try to look at the music score.
He drew the score of the fourth section on his notebook and looked at it for a long time but still had no clue.
Unable to persuade him, Mao Lilan sat at the piano and tried to play "Moonlight" in the music score.
so la do, so la do, so la do… Starting from the prelude, the melody of "Moonlight" sounded.
Conan discovered that in addition to the very inconsistent score of the fourth section, there were also two lines of somewhat special notes at the end of the third section.
If it were sung, it would be something like the following.
Fa, do, re, fa, mi.
Re is a whole note, Do and the second Mi are eighth notes, and Re and Fa are sixteenth notes.
Ms. Li An did not mention the question in the third paragraph...it was clearly before the fourth paragraph.
"In the third paragraph..." Conan frowned as he heard the different notes that appeared in this paragraph.
While he was thinking hard, the door of the piano room was pushed open.
A large package squeezed into the door, and then a head popped out.
"Excuse me? I went to ask the hotel, and the manager said that Miss Xiaolan has returned."
Maori Kogoro took a few quick steps and helped take the package from Cheng Shi's hand: "It's Doctor Cheng Shi."
The two of them carried the sleeping bags into the door together, and then Asai Narimi held up the bag in his hand and said, "I wanted to go to the hotel to look for Miss Xiaolan to come back with me, but I couldn't find anyone, so I bought some midnight snacks and came here for you guys."
Several people covered their stomachs.
Xiaolan: “Hearing you say that…”
Kogoro Mouri: "My stomach..."
