Conan Moslin

Chapter 56: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - Madam

Dr. Asai naturally stayed in the community center.

They placed their lunch boxes, rice balls, and hot water on the floor, ate a little, and then started chatting.

"Then Doctor Cheng Shi, you are not from this island..."

"Yes, I usually go back to Tokyo on weekends. I think I work as a doctor here. I have always wanted to work on an island surrounded by nature. This is my second year."

Maori Kogoro asked her: "Dr. Chengji, was it true that the former village chief Kameyama who died two years ago had a heart attack?"

Cheng Shi answered honestly, "Yes, the former village chief had a bad heart. But his face looked very tense, as if he had seen something terrible."

Conan asked, "By the way, did anything strange happen at that time?"

"This..."

……

Somehow, the night passed very quickly.

Kogoro Mouri was sleeping soundly, and when Ran Mouri and Conan realized what was happening, it was already morning.

Just as the old policeman whose beard blows when he sleeps said, the rain has been falling since midnight and has not stopped until now.

Because the old gentleman was the only police officer here, he was woken up early by Yuko who came with breakfast, and then began to conduct simple interrogations of all the people who came to the village mansion one after another.

Why continue the investigation?

Because the murderer who killed Mr. Kawashima has not yet been found.

Moreover, although the police officer said that he saw Mr. Hirata and Mr. Kawashima possibly conducting a transaction, there is no definite evidence yet, and other police officers have not arrived, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

It rained very heavily last night, so when Conan and his companions came back from chasing the man, they took back Mr. Kawashima's clothes to prevent them from being washed away by the heavy rain or taken away by the person who had returned.

……

Asai Makoto did not sleep well that night.

In his brief and hazy dream, he seemed to see his father playing his favorite song "Moonlight" in the bright flames, and he followed in his father's footsteps and placed his hands on the black and white keys.

In the dream, many chaotic thoughts flashed through his confused mind, but eventually turned into ashes.

Isn't the fate he is heading towards the same as his father's?

In any case, he couldn't turn back.

……

With the help of Mr. Maori, who got up at noon, the old police officer's interrogation was coming to an end. At this time, Miss Lingzi was yelling at him.

Ms. Kuriyasu and Ms. Yuko stayed in the community center to guard it.

Conan discovered that Mr. Shimizu, who had just arrived and left, seemed to have a little wet on the shoulders of his clothes, but they were almost dry. Mr. Nishimoto, who had been hesitant during the interrogation until the end, did not leave immediately, but was looking at his watch, waiting for something.

He remembered what he had asked Xiaolan about this gentleman half an hour ago when Dr. Chengshi went to the bathroom.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that Xiaolan had sent this gentleman off, so he asked her, "Sister Xiaolan, Mr. Xiben ran away yesterday. How was he then?"

Xiaolan thought for a moment and replied, "Mr. Nishimoto, when Ms. Yuko and I brought the police officer back, he fell in the rain and yelled to stop playing. He looked very strange. I held an umbrella for him and heard him say some strange things."

"Weird words?"

"He said Aso Keiji is still alive, he's here, he's here for revenge. Then he mixed in some words like don't play, but I didn't hear any music at all."

Mao Lilan carefully recalled the scene of yesterday, and tried to convey the information he wanted to Conan as clearly as possible, "Also, when Miss Yuko came over yesterday, he showed great panic towards Yuko. He said, Madam Sora, please forgive me..."

"Mrs. Soragi?" Conan asked in confusion.

"Yes, Mrs. Soragi." Mao Lilan also felt strange at the time, "Miss Yuko also looked distressed. The two of us sent him back to his home and then walked back. Miss Yuko said that her grandparents came here twelve years ago. I don't know what they did to make this person so scared."

What did the Souki couple do on this island twelve years ago, and why did Nishimoto Ken want to beg for mercy from that person twelve years ago? Conan felt that if he had time, he would go to Miss Yuko to ask.

Oh, Ms. Li An said that the two of them had other purposes for going to the island, so let’s ask them as well.

Then, one more thing.

"Sister Xiaolan, is the music he mentioned referring to "Moonlight"? "

"I'm not sure about this, because at the beginning I heard the music of "Moonlight" coming from the community center, but it stopped soon, but he was still shouting "Stop playing it." I think he might be hallucinating."

After that, Dr. Asai came back and Conan shut up obediently.

While I was thinking about it, Mr. Nishimoto left.

Conan followed him on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

At this moment, the second movement of "Moonlight" sounded like a death urge.

……

In the broadcasting room, a knife was stuck in the back of the Heiyan village chief, and blood spread out and slid down his wrist.

Something was glowing red.

Conan saw the red light and also saw the music score drawn in blood on the ground.

He wrote down the music in his notebook, but strangely, when he smelled it up close, the smell of blood was not as strong as he had imagined.

He felt a little strange. As soon as his hand touched the edge of the music score, he was lifted up by Kogoro Mori.

At this time, Mori and others had already arrived, and the police officer had no choice but to ask Miss Asai Narumi to perform the autopsy again.

"I believe the victim was murdered in the first few minutes before the body was found."

After Mori and others arrived, Conan listened to Dr. Asai's analysis and Kogoro Mori's opinion on the five-minute and thirty-second blank on the tape while holding up the music score and looking at it carefully.

Mao Lilan came over.

"Conan, what are you doing?"

"I was looking at the music score left behind by the murderer. I think that must be the secret code left by the murderer. What is the connection between this sharp and flat sign?"

Xiaolan thought about it and said it out loud: "In terms of a piano, it's a black keyboard, right?"

"keyboard?"

At this time, Lingzi, who was crying, stood up and yelled at the police officer: "Catch this murderer quickly, or there will be more victims if you don't catch him!"

At this time, Conan read out a sentence word by word in a childish voice: "Do you understand? The next one is you."
