In Conan, we build a criminal gang

Chapter 16: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case (1)

The four of them walked along, planning to go to the community center to find the village chief of Tsukikage Island to ask about Keiji Aso. When they passed by a clinic, they saw a medical staff member telling a child about precautions.

Xiaolan walked up and asked, "Hello, where is the community center?"

"It's just after the corner ahead. Just go straight ahead."

Just as the doctor was introducing Moon Shadow Island, a car passed by and a sound came from it. It seemed that the car was canvassing for votes.

"Today is a bit of a surprise, because the island is about to hold an election for the village chief. The candidates include Mr. Shimizu, the fisherman representative, Mr. Kuroiwa, the current village chief whose evaluation has recently declined, and Mr. Kawashima, the largest asset owner on the island."

"But the villagers seem to want to vote for Mr. Kawashima..."

Maori interrupted the medical staff's introduction in time, otherwise it would be dark before they found the village chief.

"Well, okay, Miss Nurse, we have no interest in who will be elected village chief."

"Oh, I'm the doctor here, Narimi Asai, and I have a formal medical license."

Qin Tian looked at the chattering Cheng Shi. Even though he was a cross-dresser, he was so eloquent. He didn't know how he trained himself to be that way. He couldn't help but admire him a little.

"If you were to go to the Civic Center, you might run into the three people I just mentioned."

"Oh."

"Because there will be a memorial service for the former village chief, Mr. Kameda, on the third anniversary of his death."

On the other side, outside the community center, many people gathered here, holding signs in their hands to oppose the tyranny of the current village chief and want to interrupt the privileged horizontal alliance.

"Wow, there are so many people here. It seems like all the villagers want the current village chief to step down."

"Oh, Xiaolan, let's go find the village chief and ask him about Aso Keiji, otherwise there won't be a boat to go back."

"I know, Dad."

In the community center, Mr. Kawashima said with a smile: It seems that I have the most votes now, so it seems that I will be the next village chief.

A bald man came over, and he was the village chief of this term.

"It's just a means of using money. There's nothing to be proud of."

"Haha, I just learned it from you, the village chief."

From their language, we can understand that the bald village chief probably got the job by money, and his governance is not in place, so there are many people who oppose him.

At this time, a man opened the door and said, "Village head, there is a detective from Tokyo outside who wants to see you."

"What, Detective?"

The bald village chief's expression changed slightly, obviously he had done something shameful.

In the room, Maori Kogoro finished his cigarette and said, "How long has this guy made us wait? He still hasn't come yet."

"Hey, where are Conan and Xiaotian? Where did they go?"

At this time, Qin Tian was pulling Conan around inside.

"Hey, where are you taking me?"

"Let's go."

I opened the door and took a look, and saw a piano inside.

"That's right, it's here."

Xiaolan and Maori also followed and tried to stop Qin Tian from pushing open the door, but it was too late.

"What's wrong? It's such a big room, why is there only a piano here?" Maori walked to the window and looked out, and found that there was the sea behind the community center.

"This piano looks so dirty. I guess no one has cleaned it for a long time."

Just as Qin Tian was about to touch the piano, a man passing by outside suddenly shouted loudly.

"Stop, don't touch, don't touch."

"That piano is the cursed piano that Mr. Aso played on the day he died."

When Xiaolan heard this, she quickly pulled Qin Tian's hand, fearing that he would touch her.

"And this curse was verified on the previous village chief. It happened on a full moon night. When Soga passed by the community center..."

After hearing what the man said, Maori and others also learned what happened.

"From then on, the piano was called the cursed piano."

"I see……"

"when!"

Several people looked back at the same time, and saw Qin Tian's little hand already on it.

"Ah, you can't touch Xiaotian."

"It's over. This child is going to be cursed."

"Tsk, this is a lie. If there really is a curse, who knows how many people will die in the day."

Qin Tian didn't care at all, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"Well, whether it's true or not, let's get out of here. There will be a funeral for the former village chief later. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

"Well, thank you for leading the way."

"You're welcome. Follow me."

They arrived at a hall and the ritual officially began. Qin Tian felt a headache just listening to it, even more so than when his teacher was giving lectures before. He simply lay down on Xiaolan's legs and fell asleep.

When the ritual was halfway through, a song suddenly broke the lively scene.

"What's going on? Where does the piano sound come from?"

"This voice is so familiar, and it's very close to us."

"This, this sound seems to be the cursed song "Moonlight"."

"It really seems to be the cursed song "Moonlight", and the sound seems to be coming from next door."

"Let's go and take a look."

A group of people rushed to the room where the sound came from. As soon as they opened the door, a horrifying scene happened.

Everyone was shocked to see a dead man lying on the piano. His expression of death was exactly the same as the previous village chief's. His eyes were wide open, as if he saw something, maybe a person or something else.

"No one can leave this house now, call the police now."

"You said I can't leave, so I can't leave. Why should we listen to you? Who are you?"

"That's right, who are you and why should we listen to you?"

"Ahem, I'm from Tokyo." Maori Kogoro paused, adjusted his tie, and continued, "I'm a detective. Maori Kogoro is me."

"What? He is the famous Tokyo detective, Kogoro Mori?"

"It should be right. I didn't expect to see the legendary sleeping Kogoro today."

Conan hurried over to check, and found that the dead person was him. He said, "Uncle, the dead person is Mr. Kawashima."

"Mr. Kawashima is dead? Could it be that the curse really worked?"

"Aso Keiji's curse has come. I have to leave here, or we will all die."

Kogoro Mouri also carefully checked the surrounding situation and found that the sound just now was not made by the piano, but by a tape recorder placed inside the piano.

"Everyone, this sound came from a recorder. Someone must have recorded it in advance and put it here. If I'm not wrong, this should be a planned murder."

Everyone else found it incredible when they heard it, mainly because Kawashima's way of death was exactly the same as the way the previous village chief died.

They couldn't help but suspect in their hearts that this was really Keiji Aso's curse. Now it was Kawashima who died, but who knew if they would be the next to die?
