Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 433 Moonlight Sonata Second Movement (addition to stout)

"Oh, I should have gone to eat something with you before." Sitting on the paved floor, Kogoro Mori yawned and leaned back listlessly, "It turns out that I haven't eaten anything until now. "

Mao Lilan squinted and smiled when she heard the words, reached out and groped in her backpack for a while, and took out two wrapped pieces of sushi: "I know you won't have time to eat, here, take it."

"...When did you buy it?" Mori Kogoro took it in surprise, "Did you buy it when you were eating?"

"Yeah, Conan suggested that I buy a few more, saying that if their event is too late, they probably won't be able to find a place to eat. In the end, it really came in handy..." Mao Lilan sighed, taking out of the corner of her eye He glanced at the body covered in white cloth in another corner of the room.

I have to say, being in the same room with the deceased, even if not by myself, is still a bit frightening.

Is this the fate of the detective family?Maurilan thought sadly.

Conan, who was tapping on the screen of his mobile phone, paused for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at the two of them, hiding his feeling of guilt.

He wasn't out of kindness or consideration...that was the reason why he distracted Xiaolan away, and he just took the time to meet the joker in this spare time.

Thinking of the flowers swaying in the twilight, he calmed down and continued to send messages to joker with his head down.

[Is this deceased person related to what you are investigating?Have you been to the crime scene?
You didn't succeed in stopping the killer, did you?Is there something wrong here?

If you encounter any serious problems, you can contact me first, and I will do my best to help.

By the way, how on earth did you get to the island?The police on the island said that no other outsiders have been found on the island in the past few days...]

Flipping through what he had written, he pondered for a moment with a headache, then clicked the send button.

The first time he found the emblem, he sent an email to joker, and he didn't know what was going on with joker, so he hasn't replied yet...

Now he has more and more doubts in his chest, and he can't help but worry about the safety of these young strange thieves.

It involves the serious issue of drug trafficking, what kind of forces are behind it, and what kind of right and wrong will be involved in the whole chain. Without any imagination, you can guess how big it will be. This is really a few strange thieves relying on individuals Can strength settle things?
Looking at the terrified and inexplicable look on the guy named Takeshi Nishimoto, he guessed that the music score would not be the death message left by Hideo Kawashima, but most likely the murderer's message, or a secret language involving drug trafficking. .

It is delicate and dangerous to leave one's own emblem in such a grandiose manner.

Where did Joker find such secret information, how did he lock down the candidate, and the homicide case that may involve grievances ten years ago, and what kind of relationship will it have with the drug trafficking chain...

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but joker still didn't reply a word, he was afraid that the strange thief who was fearless these days might have been sunk into the sea by some evil forces.

There is no record of going to the island, and no one else will find out about his disappearance. Isn't this an excellent choice to be silenced?
Conan raised his hand and patted his head.What a headache.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Kogoro Mori had finished a piece of sushi, and finally his cell phone received the long-awaited light vibration.

【You should be at the community center now?
Shh, be quiet, stay calm, you will know the answer right away...]

Conan, who clicked on the message full of anticipation, froze his fingers on the phone screen.

What kind of ghost story tone is this, here it comes again, this mysterious tone.

Although the feeling of being speechless was extremely strong, Conan still sat quietly in his seat and waited according to the content of his email.

After a while, when Mori Kogoro swallowed the last mouthful of sushi with the oolong tea in the water glass, there was a sudden "squeak" sound of opening and closing from the window not far from them.

This community activity center is very close to the coastline behind it, so it can be regarded as a building directly adjacent to the sea.

Concerned about Mao Lilan's mood, they chose to keep a certain distance from the corpse covered in white cloth, and sat at the foot of the wall on the other side of the piano.

The direct effect of this is that, through the window that is being pushed open at this moment, the three people sitting in the corner on the other side will not be found at all.

After a silence, the sound of the metal hinge opening was so piercing that it immediately attracted their attention.

"Hush——" Before a shivering Morilan made a sound, Kogoro Mori and Conan reached out to cover her mouth at the same time.

"It may be the murderer. I want to deal with something when I return to the scene..." Kogoro Mouri lowered his voice and whispered in Mao Lilan's ear.

Mao Lilan blinked her eyes, her horrified mood calmed down a little, and she nodded slightly.

The three sneaked together, not daring to speak out, quietly observing the situation of the intruder.

The detectives who were curled up in a ball were not found, and the person who opened the window was relieved, stepped on the window sill, and turned into the room.

He was obviously familiar with this route. As soon as he landed, he ran straight to the piano without stopping, squatted down in a hurry, and looked at the bottom of the piano.

——then saw the three people staring at him in shock.

"Secretary Hirata!" Eyes met, Mori Kogoro called out the name of the intruder, "Why did you come here!"

"Mr. Mao, Mr. Mori...!" Realizing that there were other people in the room, Hirata and Akira's heart rate suddenly increased, he stood up staggeringly while holding the piano, and backed away in a hurry.

It's over, but at this time, they saw him checking the piano!

Gritting his teeth, Hirata Kazuaki glanced at the window he turned in, and retreated towards the window a few steps in succession.

Leave now and talk to the village chief about it!
Although the fact that I moved the goods in private would cause some trouble and the village chief's censure, but compared to the fact that the matter was exposed to the eyes of outsiders, this is a small problem!

Hurry up, if you go to him now, there is still time—!
"Why did you come back here? What are you looking for?" Mori Kogoro shouted, "Don't run!"

"Yeah——" After confirming that it was a suspicious suspect who ran in rather than some ghost in the ghost story, Mao Lilan quickly recovered, and as she shouted, she rushed forward and kicked Pingtian and Ming waist and abdomen.

Hirata Kazuaki, who was sweating profusely after running for a few steps, was Mao Lilan's opponent. He unavoidably took a kick from her, sprayed out a mouthful of foam, and slammed into the wall behind him hard. superior.

"Where are you going to run!" Although the expression on the opposite side was completely lost after hitting the wall, Mao Lilan leaned in front of him without letting go, grabbed his arm and cut it behind him, pressing him on the ground. On the ground, "Don't move!"

"What are you doing here?" Looking at Hirata Kazuaki who couldn't move, and even rolled his eyes a little, Mori Kogoro's expression became gloomy.

Could the murderer be this honest man with a square face?

"He was looking at the bottom of the piano just now. Is there something under there?" Conan clearly saw the movements of Hirata and Akira, and reminded loudly, "Uncle, look under the piano!"

The content of the email Joker replied flashed through his mind.

Thinking of the piano, Keiji Aso's donation, drugs... some of the various methods of hiding drugs that he has heard of in order to deceive the world, he felt a little haze in his heart.

Hirata Kazuaki is the secretary of the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji.So how likely is it that the village chief is completely unaware of this matter?

Thinking back on his movement through the window, Mori Kogoro agreed with Conan's statement, so he reached out and touched the piano legs in the same direction as Hirata and Akira had squatted down, and then began to touch the bottom of the grand piano inch by inch.

Seeing his movements, Hirata's pupils shrank, and regardless of the severe pain in his body, he struggled with all his strength under Mao Lilan's hands.

"There is a hidden compartment." When his fingertips touched a loose wooden board, Mori Kogoro immediately explained, squatting down to observe and caress, and soon, slowly removed the movable wooden board, exposing the interlayer at the bottom.

A bag of powdery white stuff fell to the ground the moment he pushed the board away.

Mori Kogoro, who has many years of experience as a criminal police officer, vaguely understood what was going on with just one glance. His face showed mixed expressions of anger, disgust, and vigilance. Hirata Kazuaki immediately took out his mobile phone.

"Hello, Meguro." In a tone of contacting an old colleague, Mori Kogoro called Meguro Shisan without hesitation, "Do you know Tsukage Island? There is a big problem and we need support."

Finished!

A few big blood-red characters flashed in his mind, and the panting Hirata and Ming gave up struggling, panting heavily, and stared blankly at the corner of the wall in front of them.

From his angle, he could vaguely see the hideous and terrifying expression of Hideo Kawashima, who had been dead for a long time under the white cloth.

The pained and weird look of dying without resting his eyes seemed to herald his end.

"Click-"

There was a soft knock from the door in the direction of the corridor.

Kogoro Mori set up his attacking posture, turned around alertly, and saw Narumi Asai's bewildered expression.

"What's the matter, everyone, what happened?" She raised her hand, indicating the rice balls and mineral water in her hand, "I heard from Mr. Police that you are going to spend the night here, so you want to send something Come here... Mr. Hirata, is this?"

With a smile on his face, he lowered his eyes, looking down at Hirata Kazuaki who had given up his futile struggle, looked at the dead body of Hideo Kawashima with a panicked and desperate expression, and his lips trembling.

Yes, it's this expression, this desperate, unable to struggle...

Laughing in his heart, he tilted his head innocently and blankly.

"Did something bad happen?" His gaze naturally moved to the flour-like thing in Mori Kogoro's hand, "This is...?"

Is the source of all these evils, this thing that breeds countless hatred and ugliness, finally, about to be exposed to the sun?
----

"Mr. Nishimoto, Mr. Nishimoto—"

"Nishimoto—where are you—"

Hearing the series of calls behind him, the expression on Nishimoto Ken's face became more frightened, and he tried to curl up deep in the bushes.

What to do, what to do? !

Aso Keiji is not dead, he must not be dead... No, not necessarily, maybe he is really dead, like those people said, he became a ghost, he chased after him...

No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet—

"Takeshi Nishimoto, Mr. Nishimoto! Here!" His intermittent sobbing attracted the attention of the seekers, and the light of the torch moved over, illuminating his face hidden among the leaves.

"What's the matter with you, what were you running just now?" Murazawa Zhou Yi, who was called out by the police to help, took a breath, and stretched out his hand to him, "Come on, come out first..."

"Don't come here, don't come close!" Seeing his palm, Nishimoto Ken let out a frantic cry again, "The ghost is here, the ghost is here, the ghost is here again!"

"Ghost, what the hell, you are too scared because Mr. Kawashima's death..."

"Didn't you hear?!" Standing up suddenly from the bushes, Nishimoto Takeru rushed forward from his hiding place and grabbed Murazawa Monday's shoulder firmly, ""Moonlight" is "Moonlight Sonata"! The second "Moonlight Sonata"!"

"What "Moonlight"?" Hurt by his out-of-control force, Murazawa Yiyi hissed and broke free from his palm, "Only the sound of ocean waves and cicadas?"

"Can't you hear?!"

"What did you hear..."

The bewildered look on Murazawa Yiyi's face made Nishimoto Ken's fear deepen once again.

He raised his head, a full full moon was in the sky, and the indifferent moonlight cast on him.

"On the night of the full moon, today is also Aso Keiji's memorial day..." He muttered in a vague accent, thinking of the missing stack of music scores, Nishimoto Ken's legs trembled, "He came to find me, He's coming to see me—!"

"Mr. Nishimoto—"

"It's great that Xiben is here, he's fine!"

More volunteers helping to find people were attracted by the movement here, and they leaned over one after another.

"Keiji Aso is here!" Hearing the more brisk and beautiful melody in his ears, Ken Nishimoto let out a scream, "He came to me, he came to me—!"

Regardless of the crowd's calls and obstructions, he turned his head and ran towards the highest point on the island.

Go over there, over there is the place where Keiji Aso died 12 years ago!

Only there, it is possible to get rid of Keiji Aso!
"Hey, Nishimoto—"

After chasing after Xiben who was running wildly, a group of islanders looked at each other for a while, and then they could only resign themselves to their fate and followed.

There has already been a murder case tonight, don't scare another one to death...

----

"What's going on over there?" Mao Lilan, who was standing against the wall and kept the vigil in rotation, heard some noisy voices in the quiet night, and glanced out the window.

"It seems that the islanders are gathered together..." Asai Chengshi took a few steps closer and looked out the window, "Over there is the highest mountain on the island, which is the villa area where Mr. Kawashima and the others live... what happened What's wrong?"

Even with such a long distance, the sparsely connected torches are very conspicuous in the night.

"Be careful." The alert value of this small island was unprecedentedly high, Mouri Kogoro reminded immediately, "Don't draw their attention."

God knows what kind of ghosts and monsters there will be on this island.

Safety is paramount, through tonight, the people from the Metropolitan Police Department are about to arrive.

"Then, is there someone?" Conan squinted his eyes to observe the mountain, and saw a light spot appearing on the highest point of the cliff, "Is someone standing on the edge of the cliff?"

"It seems to be..." Mao Lilan frowned, "It's dangerous to stand so close..."

"Yeah, it's very dangerous..." With both hands pressed against the glass, Asai Chengmi's eyes widened, watching this scene with almost greedy eyes.

Of course he knew who it was, of course he knew where it was...

The shrill scream, like Zigui's cry at night, was sent to his ears from the top of the cliff along with the sea breeze.

The next moment, Nishimoto Ken, who was ignited all over his body, jumped down from the top of the cliff, like a meteor piercing the night, the red flames streaked across the sky, and fell heavily into the rocky rocky beach below the cliff.

"Ah——" Mao Lilan let out a cry when she saw this scene, and quickly covered her mouth.

"Someone committed suicide by jumping off a cliff?" Mori Kogoro, who was also witnessing this scene, was completely sleepless. He glanced at Hirata Kazuaki who was tied into rice dumplings and leaned to the side, and then leaned over to the window to take a look, "At this height, it must be It's hopeless..."

"And he's on fire." Conan added, "I just don't know who it is..."

Soon, the screams and exclamations on the cliff sent the answer to their ears.

"I seem to hear words like 'Nishimoto', 'Nishimoto Ken'..." Asai Chengmi said slowly, trying to distinguish those messy movements, pretending to listen attentively.

"Takeshi Nishimoto, that crazy guy?" Mori Kogoro rubbed his chin and muttered, "That's not surprising..."

Hirata Kazuaki, who was gagged and tied there, his eyes rolled frantically, and cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.

Nishimoto Ken, Nishimoto Ken jumped off the cliff with his body on fire.

On the top of the cliff, isn't that the old site of Aso's house? !

That, doesn't it mean...

Asai Narumi turned his head, glanced at Hirata Kazuaki whose face had completely faded from color, leaned against the window glass, and suppressed the upward trend of the corners of his mouth.

It's a pity that the place where Takeshi Nishimoto died is not so suitable, otherwise...

Just thinking like this, a string of melodious piano sounds followed the sound of the waves below the cliff, faintly resounding in the moonlit night.

"The second movement of "Moonlight Sonata"." Conan reacted immediately, digging at the window sill, looking towards the direction of the cliff, "Someone may have placed a tape recorder or a loudspeaker under the cliff..."

So, is Ken Nishimoto's suicide also the murderer's arrangement?
Looking at the movement on the island, Nishimoto Ken seems to have made a crazy move of jumping off a cliff...

Why is the murderer so confident that Ken Nishimoto will fall to his death there?Is this also a kind of design and planning?
At this time, such an urgent and hasty arrangement can still take into account the effect he wants to achieve. He is indeed an excellent collaborator, joker, and he really didn't lie.

""Moonlight"..." Naruto Asai muttered in a sleepy voice as if sighing.

　day!Ten thousand!up!
