Phantom Thief of Heart!but conan

Chapter 436

"The same way of death as Mr. Kawashima..." Not being allowed by Asai Shiromi to follow, Mao Lilan fidgeted and leaned against the head of the bed, "Is it some kind of special poison?"

The police in Tokyo have already arrived, and they have already taken away the village chief Heiyan, who is likely to be involved in drugs. However, under the heavy siege of the police force, Heiyan Tatsuji still died.

"It's hard to say, it may be a special drug with a delayed effect, or it may be a long-term chronic poison..." Conan answered Mao Lilan's question casually, but he was thinking in another direction.

Three dead, three deaths, excluding Nishimoto Ken who may not have committed homicide, the circumstances of the death of the two dead are complicated, and the cause of death is still unclear... To deduce the possible murderer from the method, facing so many unknown conditions , the difficulty is still too high.

For now, it should be considered from the perspective of motivation first.

Only considering the underlying logic of the incident, they already have a lot of information about this strange island.

First of all, there is a high probability that the murderer is the client who sent the request and sent the letter to Uncle Mori.

In the name of Keiji Aso, this person invited Mori Kogoro to the island. It’s hard to say whether his purpose was to challenge the detectives, or to hope that the truth of Keiji Aso’s death would be revealed to the world. This person must be related to Keiji Aso. characters.

In the letter, the client clearly stated that there will be shadows disappearing in the moonlight, which is exactly consistent with the three deceased persons who died one after another in "Moonlight Sonata". It is too unlikely that the sender is not an insider.

The reason why the word "again" was used in the letter, combined with "night of the full moon", the three deceased this time must also be related to Guishan who also died on the night of the full moon two years ago.

As for the piano that the village head of Guishan played when he died, today, two years later, they found heroin at the bottom, and the secretary of the village head, Hirata Kazuaki, who has been repeatedly emphasizing the "curse of the piano" and "can't touch the piano" , it is the drug-related personnel related to this thing...

What is the connection between these people, and what is their relationship with Keiji Aso?
While thinking about it, Conan noticed from the corner of his eye the old policeman who walked into the infirmary, opened the oxygen bottle to inhale oxygen, and eased his breathing.

Because he ran all the way along the highest residential area on the island to the clinic at the foot of the mountain, the gray-haired old man with a beard obviously couldn't breathe smoothly, so Asai Chengshi kindly asked him to rest in the infirmary before leaving, expressing himself You can find the police escort who brought them here.

Conan, whose reasoning desire was unprecedentedly high, moved to his side, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, you said that you have stayed on the island for decades... When Mr. Aso died more than ten years ago, Are you on the island?"

"When you said he set fire to his own house? Yes." Through the oxygen mask, his voice was slightly dull.

"Oh, then, did Mr. Aso really burn down his own home? We came to the island to investigate after receiving a commission related to him. Could it be the same as Mr. Nishimoto Ken said, Keiji Aso, or his family members, didn’t really die in that fire?” Conan asked him like a curious child.

Mao Lilan, who originally wanted to stop Conan and tell him not to disturb the old man's rest, couldn't help but feel curious when he heard this question, and took two steps closer, waiting for the old man's answer.

"Well, at least, that's what the eyewitnesses said at the time." The old policeman pushed the retro-shaped glasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing the color of memory, "That was really a big fire, it made the sky red …After the fire, we specially invited the police from Tokyo to investigate, and indeed the DNA of their family was detected from the bones at the scene, and it is absolutely certain that the three members of Aso’s family died in the fire.”

"Witnesses?" Conan blinked and caught the key words, "Who is there?"

"This, let me think about it..." Adjusting the position of the oxygen mask, the old man squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly replied, "The former village chiefs Kameyama, Kawashima, Heiyan village chief, and Nishimoto, It's just the four of them."

Conan's eyes widened.

Mao Lilan, who was listening to them, also raised her hand to cover her mouth: "Doesn't that mean... all the witnesses of the fire have died?"

"Yes, it seems to be like this." Touching his chin, the old policeman nodded suddenly, "The four of them, plus Aso, had a good relationship when they were young. Our island is not big, and their family conditions are relatively good. Well, they played together since they were young, and the five of them went to learn piano together. Later, Aso insisted on learning and became a well-known pianist. Nishimoto, the one who fell off the cliff before, often went overseas to participate in his performances, cheer him on."

"A childhood playmate..." Conan said in a low voice, and his mind turned again.

All five of them have a piano foundation, so when Guishan died, no one on the island seemed to have any doubts about his playing "Moonlight".

Therefore, Ken Nishimoto, who was so frightened when he saw the music score, ran out of the door in panic, and ran out in a panic...

Quickly digging out the small book that he had transcribed the live score, Conan stared at the strange fourth line of score and began to think.

What secret words will there be...

----

"Yes, it's similar to Mr. Kawashima's state of death." Standing up straight, taking off the medical gloves on his hands, Asai Narumi lowered his eyes, watching Kuroiwa Tatsuji, whose expression was inexplicably terrified and full of pain, calmly Narrated, "I can't give an explanation of the cause of death. As for the time of death... everyone is present, so I don't need to explain it."

"What a headache." Mu Mu Shisan raised his hat, and vented the irritable heat from his head, "It seems that we can only wait until after dawn, and then send them to an institution in Tokyo for special testing."

"After what happened in Kawashima, Kuroiwa Tatsuji returned to the residence accompanied by his family. According to his daughter's testimony, he had no contact with anyone other than his family before we arrived." One night did not get After a lot of sleep, and being tense due to various incidents, Mori Kogoro's face was cloudy, "That is to say, he has not been in contact with other people for seven or eight hours. Could there be a lethal poison with such a good delayed effect?"

It's not that he hasn't encountered cases where capsules or other wrappings were used to delay the action of poisons.

But no matter which method is considered, this length of time is somewhat surprising.

If you want to go back seven or eight hours ago, all of the thirty or so residents who participated in the ceremony are suspicious.

"I'm not sure..." Asai Chengshi blinked, remembering the terrifying posture of the enemy before his death, and slowly added, "But if the symptom is 'organ failure', 'the corners of the mouth and the corners of the eyes I've seen similar things on the island before."

"Have you ever seen a similar situation?!" Mumu Shisan and Mori Kogoro repeated in unison, their attention suddenly raised.

"Yes, two years ago, although the death of the head of Kameyama Village was finally confirmed as a heart attack in Tokyo's forensic laboratory, his state at the time was similar to this." Asai Narumi nodded, thinking Everything that happened after encountering the strange thieves today made the corners of his mouth a little bit sad.

He didn't understand the way and state of this death two years ago. He thought it was his real gender and identity that had an impact on Guishan. In addition, Guishan had a serious heart disease, so he didn't think anything about the cause of death. question.

But sure enough, as early as that time, he had already become a sinner unintentionally, and walking on the current path was just a continuation and necessity of past grievances.

This is probably the real reason why the strange thieves contacted him...

----

"Being able to use cognitive abilities before Shimizu Asai?" Sitting on a sunny, warm and happy surface palace, Xing Chuanhui looked at the navigation on his mobile phone and said with a little surprise, "The special impression space state of this island is really amazing. Did he do it alone?"

"It's hard to say." Holding an apple plucked from a fruit tree in his hand, Tang Ze, who really felt a little moved, chewed the fruit in his mouth and shook his head. It may not be related to him, but since he returned to the island two years ago and caused the death of Guishan, this place should slowly become like this."

"Kameyama, is that the former village chief? According to you, he was also one of the murderers who killed Keiji Aso. It was from him that Asai Narumi learned part of the truth about that year." In the dark reality Shuttled back and forth between the world and the Sunshine Island of Eternal Day several times, Miyano Akemi stretched lazily, feeling that her biological clock was in disarray, "But didn't Kameyama be scared to death? It can't be called 'caused his death' 'Bar?"

"Regarding the shadow of Naruto Asai, he might have been frightened to death." Tang Ze shook his head loudly, "But his shadow is so powerful that it can occupy a part of the impression space..."

It's a bit like the prison of P5S, which is quite strange.

Thinking of this, a subtle sense of foreboding floated in Tang Ze's heart.

I said that this strange world is almost done, there are enough things to sew, don’t sew all the things that can be sewed in just because the edge of the P series is stained, you can’t stop if you don’t sew, right? !

"...The truth of the matter is very likely that Asai Narumi, who learned the truth, awakened part of his cognitive ability in the great anger and grief, but because he never really entered the cognitive world, he did not become a real Persona." Tang Ze pointed to the fox window made of ten pillars, "However, this does not prevent him from using this power unconsciously. His power killed the shadow of Guishan, so Guishan Shan, of course, had a 'heart attack'."

Don't say it, don't you really say it, it really smells like night.

Tang Ze grimaced when he remembered the complaints he made frequently when he first came to this world.

People, you still can't be too iron-toothed, flags can't be inserted indiscriminately.

If Asai Shiromi's mask power, it will really make people's heart paralyzed or something...

Hiss, this is really Kira, but this Kira.

It's not this side that needs to be linked, it's crooked, it's crooked!
Beware that it is really sewn together, and Conan also awakens a strange attribute, come to play with you at the pinnacle of wits, a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!

----

At this time, the only designated battle detective was still inquiring about the relationship between people on Moon Shadow Island.

"That's it..." After inquiring about the relationships of several main characters, Conan rubbed his chin and began to screen the candidates in his mind.

"All the questions are over, detective brother?" The cheerful old policeman stood up and took off the oxygen mask on his face, "Is there nothing else to ask?"

"Ah, no more, no more." Conan quickly waved his hand.

"I'm really sorry, I kept asking you so late, did I disturb your rest?" Mao Lilan, who had listened to the gossip for a while, finally realized that it was already four o'clock in the morning, and this place was on the sea. I'm afraid it will be dawn in half an hour and an hour, so I quickly bowed to the old policeman to express my apology.

"Oh, it's all right." He waved his hands indifferently, "There are so many things going on tonight, I can't sleep. It feels good to talk to you about the past on the island. The feeling of being in vain. Ask other people, you really can’t tell.”

This is true.

Although this kind-hearted grandfather, as a policeman, may not be able to play a role in protecting law and order, but considering that the deceased are all in their forties, it is really difficult to hear that they had a good relationship in childhood without asking the old man. Class secrets.

"There's nothing to ask, I'm going to get busy." Rubbing his back, he walked out slowly, "The police in Tokyo may have something to ask me, I have to continue to help. You guys rest early Ah, children don't grow up if they don't sleep at night."

Keeping these intricate interpersonal relationships in mind, Conan took out his little notebook again, and silently looked at the music score he had copied down.

"Sister Xiaolan, I haven't read the stave much. What is the thing next to this note? Is it a special mark?" Conan asked Mao Lilan, handing the notebook in his hand.

Regardless of not having received much systematic music training, Mao Lilan is actually very talented in music.

She has a good voice, unlike Kudo Shinichi, who is born with a sound idiot, her singing level is generally recognized by everyone.

Out of interest, she has studied professional music theory and knows some musical instruments.

Last time, in the case where the magician was the magician, she was the one who told Mori Kogoro that the DC in the code is the abbreviation of Da Capo, which means "starting all over again", and is used to mark the passage that needs to be repeated.

"Oh, this..." Taking the notebook in his hand, Mao Lilan briefly looked at it and explained, "This is the mark of sharps and flats. If it is placed in the piano score, the piano does not have black and white keys. Is it? Those black keys in it mean these semitones."

"Keys?" Conan took the notebook back and stared at the notes of varying heights.

If you convert these notes into keys...

From the far left of the piano keyboard, put 26 letters into it in turn, and then convert them into Roman sounds...

"Understood? The next one is you." Conan's eyes lit up as his fingers slid across the score.

I found the reason why Nishimoto Ken suddenly started going crazy!

All the deceased in this case, Kameyama, who died two years ago, and Keiji Aso, who died 12 years ago, were all playmates who had studied instrumental music systematically.

Why did Ken Nishimoto have the reaction of "Keiji Aso is still alive" the moment he saw this signal, I am afraid it is also because of this.

Knowing how to read the code so familiarly, this group of people probably used this method to convey information.

Piano who hides drugs, pianist who is famous overseas, often goes overseas to participate in performances, and often comes into contact with Keiji Aso's Ken Nishimoto...

Keiji Aso, did he really commit suicide?And his wife and daughter who died tragically in the fire, were they really killed by him?Such a cruel method...

Conan took a deep breath.

Regardless of the truth about Keiji Aso's death, so far, all their past grievances have disappeared with the death.

All the people involved in it have died, and they can no longer tell the truth with their own mouths, and the only person who still knows all this is the murderer...

It seems that the purpose is to seek justice for Keiji Aso, or in other words, the murderer who figured out the truth of his death has achieved all his goals.

What is his most likely target now?

Escape from the island?Or pretend nothing happened and wait for the police to evacuate?
But think about the bag of heroin, and the poppies on the island that connect all the fates together...

"Sister Xiaolan!" Conan made a decisive decision, raised his head and said to Mao Lilan, "Let's contact uncle quickly!"

"Oh, good!" Mao Lilan skillfully picked up the phone, and pressed the number of Mao Li Kogoro in the alarm state, "Did you find anything to tell Dad?"

"As you heard, everyone at the scene of the Aso Keiji fire is dead. However, there are also drug trafficking and transportation in this matter. The old man of the police just said that Kawashima and Hirata have been weird recently, and they often go to the community center We met and chatted. We witnessed what Secretary Hirata was going to do when he went to the community center."

Acting so sneakily, it may involve disputes between some factions, or conflicts about dividing up interests...

But in short, the bag of heroin that caused Hirata and Kazuaki to venture back to the scene of the crime, so that they were subdued on the spot, was most likely part of the unfinished deal between him and Kawashima.

It is even said that Kawashima will appear in that room for a similar reason...

"The murderer is still at large, and the police haven't identified the suspect yet. If the murderer doesn't give up," Conan said without any reasoning, staring into her eyes seriously, "His next A target can only be Hirata Kazuaki who is also under police control!"
