Conan Moslin

Chapter 63: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - The Price

Kuroba Kurian thought Conan would tell her who the murderer was, but he ended up pulling her into the studio.

What, you want to use her voice but not tell her what happened?

She knew that in the illusion, many of Conan's props could not be used, such as his bow-tie voice changer.

That’s right, Conan thought the bow voice changer broke down in the rain, but it wasn’t.

In fact, his tranquilizer gun was useless.

She still doesn't know how the voice changer can be adjusted to the voice Conan needs without making a mistake?

Can it really only be attributed to Dr. Agasa's black technology?

Li An pushed Conan away and turned the door handle.

Yes, it is locked.

"If you have tools like wire, can you open the lock?" Li An asked.

"How can there be tools now——"

Wait a minute, doesn't this reveal that he can pick locks?

Conan felt that there was something wrong with his reply.

"So it's okay?"

Kuroba Kurian took out two hairpins from his head. They were the very simple black iron hairpins used to pin hair.

She has a lot of small things on her body, not just hairpins.

Who says you can’t hide things in a long skirt?

In the belt around her waist, there are invisible threads, rubber bands, paper clips, coins, rings, lighters...

The invisible thread that opens the curtains in the piano room is made of a very tough material.

Although the magician often uses rings to improve her flexibility, she doesn't like wearing them.

The drawstring itself can be used as a ribbon prop. The inventor of this ribbon is——

Okay, since it’s an invention, there’s nothing more to say.

These props were kept properly by her and would not be seen.

Oh, and those magic props from before.

A special film is wrapped around certain dangerous items to ensure that they will not leak out at will. The film is similar to a semipermeable membrane, but it is different, so water can release a large amount of heat through a chemical reaction and ignite certain luminous objects.

There was also a deck of playing cards in the pocket of her long skirt.

Just ordinary playing cards.

Convinced.

Li An handed the hairpin to Conan: "Here, come on."

Conan's hands trembled a little as he took the hairpin.

It is normal for girls to wear a few hairpins on their heads...

Could not fault it at all.

No, would someone who wears a hairpin think of using it to unlock the door?

"Are you going to open the door or not? Mr. Maori should be back soon." Li An asked him.

She has not seen the sleeping Maori Kogoro directly yet...

Although I certainly won’t be able to see it “today”.

Actually, it's possible, but she has to make the sound.

This changes from watching the sleeping Kogoro reasoning to being Kogoro reasoning yourself.

So why does she waste her time on this?

Conan bent the hairpin at one-third of the way, then inserted it into the keyhole and twisted it.

Click.

The door opened.

"You really know how to drive." Li An exclaimed, "I thought you were just joking."

Conan: So you're giving it to me so hard just to see if I can't open it?

In the dark studio, the village chief Heiyan was still lying on the broadcasting platform, not moving.

The red light indicating "Restart" on the stage is no longer flashing.

The pupils of the Heiyan village chief had dilated. From his cloudy and lifeless eyes, Li An saw that they were still struggling in fear and suffering from the repetitive nightmare of death.

She saw the foam rising from the ocean, the blood-soaked clothes and the tightly strangled neck.

Their expressions were painful and distorted, filled with fear and regret.

Resentment, anger, regret, fear, and eventually turned into dead silence.

The foam burst, the blood dried, and the breathing stopped.

Death is magnified and fear is spreading.

Kuroba Kurian looked away.

Death in the illusion always comes at a price.

The same goes for creators.

However, under normal circumstances, the creator of the illusion will not die in his own illusion.

In the piano room of the community center, the phantom was still playing with all his heart.

Li An put aside everything he had just seen and began to simply debug the equipment in the studio.

After debugging, she spoke directly.

……

Kogoro Mori and others returned to the village mansion again.

At this time, Kuroiwa Reiko was holding Murasawa Shuichi's hand and yelling at Hirata opposite her.

"Hirata Kazuaki! You are just my father's secretary, how dare you attack Murasawa!"

Secretary Hirata shrank his head and trembled.

Dr. Asai advised her: "Mr. Murasawa needs a quieter environment to rest now..."

Lingzi's voice immediately dropped and she glanced at her fiancé apologetically.

But soon, she thought of her father who had just died tragically but still didn't know the murderer, and pointed the finger at Maori Kogoro: "Detective Maori, have you really caught the murderer? Why did a third person die?"

Kogoro Mori had just heard the news that Ken Nishimoto had died in the community center.

Mr. Shimizu Masato came out to smooth things over: "Mr. Maori also just found out who the murderer is, but he didn't expect that he would act so quickly..."

Maori Kogoro was devastated: No, I don't have enough clues, who is the murderer...

An old man with only a tuft of gray hair said, "That's not murder, that's Mr. Aso's spirit haunting him."

Another old man chanted a Buddhist chant.

"So Mr. Maori, why don't you quickly tell us who the murderer is?"

Kogoro Mori broke out in a cold sweat.

"Zizzi-"

There was a sound of electricity coming from the speakers above my head.

A human voice gradually became clear.

"The case on Moon Shadow Island is related to my good friend. Please allow me to point out the murderer, Mr. Maori."

……

Conan was now looking at the music score on the ground again. Since he had found the murderer and the way to expose the murderer, he had time to think about the previous note and the codes in the last two lines.

The blood on the ground had dried up, and the music score on the ground was still clear.

The tape with a blank space of five minutes and thirty seconds was taken away by Kogoro Mori.

He opened his notebook, and inside was the note that Li An had just put away as a reminder.

The first one is “Do Re Mi Fa So La Xi”.

Conan suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Ms. Li An is really... Is it necessary to add such a sentence to suit the situation in the piano room?

By the way, if you try according to Sister Li An’s do, re, mi, maybe you can decipher the code.

Conan put the note away and quickly turned to the last two lines of notes he had written in the notebook.

Then he quickly wrote down:

Fa, do, re, fa, mi.

In musical notation, a whole note is a circle, an eighth note has one tail, and a sixteenth note has two tails.

He thought about it and tried keeping the first letter for one tail, the second letter for two tails, and all for a whole note.

Finally, the following letters were obtained.

a,d,re,a,m.

After a simple combination in order, the two words we get are——

A Dream.
