A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 23 Unexpected Ending
"What, who is it, what is the meaning expressed in this score."

"This sheet of music says that Keiji Aso actually has another son named Aso Mitsu."

Under the watchful eyes of Mumu Conan and others, Xiaolan slowly said a name.

"How is it possible? I have lived in this village for so many years, and I have never met anyone named Aso Shishi, and I have never heard of Aso's family having a son."

The old policeman expressed his doubts in surprise. After Noah saw it, he was even more convinced that this person was abnormal. He was definitely faking his deafness when we first met. What was his purpose?

"Maybe it's your memory that's wrong. It's normal to have a bad memory when you're older."

Uncle Mao Li denied the old policeman's words. How could the clues that had finally appeared be false.

"Because Aso is in poor health, he has cultivated in Tokyo since he was a child, and has never set foot on Moon Shadow Island."

Xiaolan also retorted, reading the last few words on the music score, Conan's eyes changed after hearing Xiaolan's name Chengshi, his confident eyes shone brightly, he had already found the case s answer.

"Officer Megure, hurry up and give an order to arrest Asoshi with all his strength."

"Ding"

"Well... why are you here again?"

Uncle Maori's body dangled back to the chair behind him, as if he was drunk. After Noah saw that Conan was gone, he knew that the anime famous scene was coming. This anesthesia needle is really easy to use. Be careful in the future, otherwise it will be bad if you fall into Conan's way.

"Everyone be quiet, I already know who the murderer is."

"What, brother Maori, isn't Aso Shishi?"

"It is true that Aso is real, and he is always by our side."

Because of the continuous occurrence of cases, several villagers who had been in contact with Aso in the radio station were waiting to be interrogated. At this time, they heard Mr. Mori's words and surrounded them one after another.

"We have never seen Asagi when we were young, let alone Asagi who grew up more than ten years later. We only know that there is such a person. The death of Village Chief Guishanyong two years ago is probably not so serious. Simple things, I’m right, Miss Asai, no, you should be called Mr. Aso.”

"What, Brother Mori, are you mistaken? Asai Naomi is a woman."

"No mistake, he just put on makeup."

No one noticed that Noah had quietly exited the radio station and walked straight to the public hall. Xiaolan was looking for Conan around, but she found that Conan had disappeared again.

Conan continued his reasoning, starting from the death of the village chief Isamu Kameda, to the death of Ken Nishimoto at the end, telling the truth about Aso's actual murder method and the reason he deduced.

……

"Father, they are a bunch of devils, a bunch of damned people, but now I have become that kind of person, how ironic."

The speaker was Naomi Asai. He was not in the radio station, but came to the public hall. He had already poured gasoline inside and outside the public hall, and was about to slowly throw down the lighter in his hand.

"Miss Asai, why are you so overwhelmed?"

Asai turned his head suddenly, and found that Noah was standing not far behind him, and the words just now came from his mouth.

"You... shouldn't be at the radio station, why are you here?"

"I just have some questions that I want Miss Chengshi to answer. No, Mr. Chengshi can answer them for me."

Looking at the beautifully dressed beauty in front of him, Noah really didn't expect that the other party was a man. If it wasn't for Conan's answer, he really couldn't tell.

"Have you discovered it? What a failure. You have observed very carefully."

"No, although I don't want to admit it, I didn't discover this, but the little brother next to me."

"yes."

Asahi really remembered the little brother who had been following them all the time. That kid didn't seem like an ordinary person, and he could observe the neglected places every time.

"Mr. Chengshi, what I want to ask you is, were you the one who sent those two letters from Uncle Maori? Did you really kill the four people in Kameda?"

Aso Shishi didn't seem to expect that Noah would ask himself such a question, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"How did you find out, that Maori detective didn't seem to find out about it?"

"I also discovered it by chance. I was puzzled, so I rushed over to ask you. I hope you can tell me the answer. Maybe I will give you an unexpected gift."

Noah pretended to be mysterious and said that Aso didn't take it seriously, his adoptive parents were no longer in this world, and he was going to die, so what gift could he have, and thinking that he was going to die, there was no need to hide it.

"Isamu Kameda was not killed, but when I returned to the island and forced him to tell about my father, I was terrified and died of a heart attack. The police at that time can testify to this. Those two letters It wasn't me who sent it, and I don't know who it was, I really killed only Nishimoto Ken, Kawashima and Heiyan, but I am also very grateful to those who killed them."

After Noah heard that Chengshi admitted that he was not the one who sent the letter, and that someone else was responsible for the death of Kawashima and Heiyan, the mystery in his heart gradually dissipated, and his bold idea was also verified. It seemed that it was really that person.

"Mr. Chengshi, are you planning to die? In this way, the death of Chuan Dao and Hei Yan will also be pressed on you, and it will only help the real murderer behind the scenes."

"It doesn't matter, my target is a few of them. Since someone has stained blood for me, it doesn't matter if I help him."

Aso really didn't care if he would take the blame, his wish had been fulfilled, he had nothing to worry about, he threw the lighter in his hand to the gasoline on the ground, walked slowly towards the piano in the mansion, sat down gracefully, stretched out his hand Play Keiji Aso's favorite piece "Moonlight Symphony".

Noah didn't expect Chengshi to be so decisive. When he reacted, the fire had already started to spread. Without the slightest hesitation, Noah jumped into the sea of ​​fire to save people. Of course Chengshi wouldn't go out. Noah knocked him out. Take it out.

……

Conan and others came running from the radio station. His reasoning was over, and he believed that Chengshi was the final murderer, but he didn't expect that when he came out to look for the prisoner, the mansion caught fire.

"I seem to have seen Chengshi come here just now."

After Noah settled Chengshi in a hidden place, he ran to tell everyone, but he didn't tell Police Officer Mumu what happened, because he knew that the real murderer might be a person with a conscience, but he just told them that Chengshi might be there in.

Under the guidance of Police Officer Mumu, the gathered villagers put out the fire in an organized manner, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

"It can't be done, everything inside has been burned, and we can't confirm whether Ma Sheng is actually inside."

The police officers who followed quickly surveyed the scene. Unfortunately, they failed to rescue anything. The gasoline burned too fast, and it was too late when they discovered it.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Conan couldn't help but ask himself, what is the difference between us detectives killing ourselves after driving the prisoner to a dead end, and the murderer.

"Perhaps this is the best result. Cheng Shi didn't want to live with his own sin, and chose to kill himself. His kind heart made him unable to bear the crimes of these devils."

Noah slowly said a few words beside Conan, this is his real thought, this is also the understanding when he watched the anime at the beginning, and now he said it to Conan who was confused, he felt very high-handed.

"Maybe so"

……

"What should I call you, Mr. Inspector?"

Because it was already very late, it was not safe for the ship to sail on the sea, and everyone could only wait for the day to leave tomorrow. Noah was sitting cross-legged at the old policeman's house at this time.

"Young man, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"Mr. Aso Keiji, what do you think, seeing your son die, what do you think?"

The policeman, who was originally dazed, became sharp in an instant, and his body exuded a murderous look, indicating that his current mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

"When did you find out? I don't seem to have exposed anything."

"Your back of the ear is obvious, and only Xiaolan and I have seen your back of the ear, and when Chuan Dao and Hei Yan died, I felt the faint smell of blood on your body."

"I didn't expect it to be my own carelessness. I'm getting older, and it really doesn't work."

The old policeman admitted his identity as Keiji Aso, sat on the stool a little lonely, stared at Noah, and told his story with a sad expression.

Keiji Aso did not die. It was his wife and daughter who were burnt to death. He escaped by luck. At the beginning, he wanted to kill the four people who hurt his family, but he thought of his son who was far away in Tokyo. Suppressing the grief, he let go of his thoughts.

Later, I also went to Tokyo to see my son, and saw that the adoptive parents were very kind to my son, so I felt relieved and went back to Shadow Island to monitor the four of them, hoping to find a suitable opportunity, but unfortunately, the four of them rarely stayed on the island Stay, never have a chance.

Until two years ago, his son Aso actually came to the island to seek the truth of the year, and forced Isamu Kameda to tell the truth, causing Isamu Kameda to be frightened to death. In order to cover up the facts, he spread the piano music The supernatural event, I wanted Mr. Maori to come to the island to prevent this incident, but Mr. Maori couldn't come because of something.

The other three people stayed on the island after seeing Isamu Kameda's death, and saw that their son had the intention to kill someone, so they sent an email again asking Mr. Mori to come to the island, hoping to stop themselves child homicide.

At the same time, I planned the killing plan in advance, and I was going to kill the three of them one step ahead of time. What I didn't expect was that my son killed Ximen Jian one step ahead of time, and then committed suicide. I felt pain and suffering in my heart.

"I never expected that Mr. Keiji Aso would have such a tragic family story."

"Young man, if you want to report the crime, go ahead, I won't leave."

"Report the case, why should I report the case? I think some people really deserve to die. Look behind you."

Noah smiled and expressed his inner thoughts, stretched out his hand, and pointed to Keiji Aso's back.

"You... you are... a reality?"

"That's right, it's me...Chengshi, father, I didn't expect you to be alive, why didn't you come to me earlier."

……

Seeing the scene of the two people's confession in front of them, Noah couldn't help but curled his lips. He didn't know how to thank me as a lifesaver. Without a conscience, Cheng Shi and Aso are naturally not ungrateful people, and thanked Noah for his help , Tell Noah that the two of them are going to leave Moon Shadow Island and live in Shizuoka County, and if you need help with anything in the future, just ask.

"Drip drip"

The phone rang suddenly, and when he turned on the phone, he found that it was Conan calling. He couldn't help but wonder why he was looking for him at this point.

"Why do you like to call me in the middle of the night so much? I'm not gay. Change to someone else."

"Brother Noah, save me quickly, sister Xiaolan is crazy."

Conan's urgent voice came from the phone, and Xiaolan's voice was also mixed with Xiaolan looking for Conan. Did this call him secretly?
