Conan's Almighty Extraction

After finishing talking with Narumi Asai, Shiraiwa Maha returned to the waiting room, and waited for the end of the ceremony with Mori Kogoro and others.

However, not long after, in the quiet public hall, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded, and it was the first movement of the famous piano piece "Moonlight".

"Wait. This song is "Moonlight"? It's not good!"

Conan, who had guessed the contents of the letter, immediately realized that a crime might have occurred inside, and immediately ran to the big room where the piano was.

"Oh, as expected."

Shiraiwa Maha's eyes darkened, it seems that even though Asai Narumi learned of his father's last words, he still chose the path of the original book.

It has been 12 years since the Aso family extermination case, and the ten-year prosecution period has passed, and the other party has long since erased the relevant criminal evidence, so it is impossible to punish the murderers by relying on the law. A way to avenge his family.

Shiraiwa Maha understands Naruto Asai's approach. After all, if this kind of thing happens to him, he will choose the same approach as the other party, even if this approach is not just.

Seeing Conan running out of the waiting room, Shiraiwa Maha and the others followed and found a wet middle-aged man lying motionless on the piano.

"Ah, that's Mr. Kawashima, what's going on?!"

At this time, Asai Chengshi and others who participated in the ceremony also rushed over. Someone recognized the identity of the middle-aged man. He was the island's largest property owner Hideo Kawashima, and he was also one of the three culprits who were still alive.

"Let me go, let me take a look."

Mori Kogoro was used to such scenes, he pushed away a few staff who were at a loss, and went in to check Mr. Kawashima's situation.

"Oh, he's already dead," Mori Kogoro tentatively touched the other party's neck, then shook his head helplessly, and ordered, "Xiao Lan, hurry up and notify the police."

"I see, Dad." Xiaolan has long been used to the work of reporting crimes, and immediately ran out to notify the police stationed on Moon Shadow Island.

"Doctor Chengshi, may I trouble you to have a preliminary examination of the corpse?"

Encountering such a murder case, Mori Kogoro became serious and asked Naomi Asai, the only doctor on the scene, to help determine the circumstances of Mr. Kawashima's death.

"Okay, Mr. Mori." Asai Narumi nodded, and walked over to check Mr. Kawashima's body.

Secretary Hirata, who received everyone before, turned pale and shouted in horror: "It's a curse, this is the curse of that piano."

"Hmph, it's not a curse at all."

Mori Kogoro took out a tape recorder that was playing the first movement of "Moonlight" from the piano, and snorted coldly: "It's not the piano that makes the sound, but this tape recorder. If I'm not wrong, this is a premeditated plan." homicide."

"Hey, don't talk about some messy things here," one of the three culprits, the current village head Heiyan Chenci, walked out of the crowd and asked with a bad look: "Who are you?"

Mori Kogoro straightened his tie, and introduced himself a little embarrassingly, "My name is Mori Kogoro, and I am a famous detective who was invited from Tokyo."

"Mori Kogoro, is that the space pilot?"

"It should be the person who often appears in mystery novels"

"No, the man you said is wise"

"Um, so who is this Mori Kogoro?"

It may be that Mori Kogoro's reputation is still too small, or it may be that the villagers of Tsukage Island have too little information. In short, no one knows Mori Kogoro's name, which makes Mori Kogoro suffer a lot.

"Based on my past experience, the time of Mr. Kawashima's death was probably between 10 minutes and an hour. The cause of death should be suffocation. Mr. Kawashima probably drowned in the sea."

Fortunately, Asai Narumi completed the preliminary examination of the corpse, and told the information he got, which helped Kogoro Mori resolve this embarrassing situation.

"Ms. Chengshi's judgment is correct. On the beach outside, there is Mr. Kawashima's suit jacket. From the door to the piano, there are also traces of sea water left by dragging the corpse, and Mr. Kawashima's back is still stained with mud. and sand."

"I'm afraid the prisoner took Mr. Kawashima to the seaside to drown, then carried the body to this room, pressed the switch of the tape recorder, and left the scene during the legal service."

"And judging from the fact that the doors and windows of this room are locked, the first few minutes of the tape should be blank. Look, it really is."

As a qualified tool man, Shiraiwa Maha spoke out the information Conan deduced through clues, and rewound the tape to prove the correctness of the reasoning.

"Ahem, that's right, what Maha said is what I'm going to tell you."

Mori Kogoro coughed lightly, and continued to add: "And if the windows are locked, the prisoner can only leave from the corridor, but the waiting room we were in was facing the entrance, and no one was seen leaving, so the prisoner is likely to return. At the legal scene."

Heiyan Chenci, the current village chief, questioned dissatisfiedly after hearing this: "Wait, what do you mean, is the prisoner among us?"

"That's right, the prisoner is here," Mori Kogoro nodded with great certainty, and asked, "Did anyone see Mr. Kawashima or others leave their seats in the middle of the ceremony?"

Those who participated in the ceremony didn't pay much attention to other people's actions, and they couldn't tell who had left in the middle of the ceremony. Only Kuroiwa Tatsuji remembered that Mr. Kawashima, who died, had left the ceremony for the reason of the toilet.

Without any useful clues, Kogoro Mori had to continue to search the scene, but found a sheet of music behind the opened key cover, and took it out to check.

"what!!!"

Before Kogoro Mori could figure out anything, Ken Nishimoto, one of the three culprits who came to participate in the ceremony, screamed as if seeing something that frightened him, and then rushed out of the room and fled.

Kogoro Mori didn't know Ken Nishimoto, so he quickly asked Secretary Hirata, "Who was that person who ran away just now?"

Secretary Hirata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied: "He is Mr. Nishimoto. He used to be quite powerful and invested a lot of money in wine, women, and gambling. However, after the death of the former village chief two years ago, he heard that She said she seemed to be afraid of something, so she seldom went out."

"Dad, the police are here."

Not long after, the elderly policeman stationed on Moon Shadow Island was brought here by Xiaolan. After dealing with the scene, the people present were allowed to go home and rest, and they would come here again tomorrow morning for investigation and questioning.
