Conan Moslin
Chapter 51: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - Moonlight
When the melody of "Moonlight" suddenly echoed in the execution ground, everyone became visibly panicked.
Among them, a gentleman with a hedgehog head had the biggest reaction. He clenched his hands and his whole body was shaking.
In the reception room, Mao Lilan and Yuko heard the melody of piano music.
Youzi was the first to react. She shook Li An gently and whispered, "Sister Li An, wake up quickly. Something might have happened."
Li An, who was caught by her, rubbed his eyes and said in a confused tone that he had rarely used before: "I understand. You go first, I'll be down soon."
So, Yuko pulled Mao Lilan and ran downstairs first.
Conan, who was originally sitting outside the entrance, was thinking about the possibility of someone tuning the piano and the commission letter. When he heard this melody, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"
He rushed into the main entrance before Maori, walked through the people coming out around him, and pushed open the door of the piano room amid their noise.
……
This was the scene that Mao Lilan and Yuko saw when they arrived.
A long water stain was left on the originally clean floor, extending from the back door to the side of the piano, and a hand hung down limply.
Looking up along the arm, they saw a figure slumped over with his back to them. The man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with his head resting on the piano.
The piano was making a somewhat harsh sound, but it did not cover up the low and elegant melody of "Moonlight".
Conan squatted down and confirmed that the water was sea water. When he followed the water stains to open the locked back door, he saw a winding trail leading to the seaside. Wind mixed with rain blew in. In order not to affect the scene, he quickly closed the door.
A flash of lightning struck, which was particularly conspicuous outside the dark window, and was accompanied by a sudden downpour of heavy rain.
Just like destroying evidence, the long trace was quickly broken up by the rain and disappeared.
If you look out the window at this time, you will know that the full moon has not disappeared behind the dark clouds. It is still hanging there, but it is a little blurry due to the thick rain.
But no one was in the mood to look at the moon.
"Uncle Maori, the back door was just locked!" Conan said.
Maori Kogoro nodded, not blaming him for almost destroying the scene. After a brief inspection of Kawashima, Kogoro put down the man's drooping hand, lowered his eyes and said, "He's dead."
The village chief Hei Yan looked a little shocked: "What did you say?"
At the same time, Conan, who was standing aside, clenched his teeth, his expression somewhat angry and unwilling.
By the way, the letter had already predicted that someone would die on this Moon Shadow Island on the night of the full moon.
He should have known better.
Kuroba Kurian rushed over when no one noticed. She stood in the piano room. The drowsiness she had just felt had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed. She walked very naturally across the traces left by the sea water, walked to the piano, and saw the radio placed next to the frightened face.
The radio played a low, elegant melody, but this familiar melody was like a nightmare to some people.
Hirata's pupils shrank extremely small. He held his head and shouted, "It's a curse! This is the curse of the piano!"
Behind him, a group of people looked a little scared.
Hearing this, Kuroba Kurian picked up the radio and held it in front of Hirata with a smile on his face.
"Here, the curse you wanted." Her voice was very gentle, just like her usual tone.
The radio was still playing the somewhat monotonous melody of "Moonlight".
Then she pressed the button.
Conan heard the radio freeze and then play another song.
It is a soothing melody, but it contains the breath of a storm.
This is the second movement of Beethoven's "The Tempest Sonata".
Although he didn't know why this radio actually had the "Tempest Sonata", Mr. Hirata realized that Kurian had played a song on this piano before, which was the first movement of the "Tempest Sonata".
After Miss Li An played a complete piece of music, he said that the cause of death of the person next to him was the curse of the piano...
Isn’t this a curse?
"This is obviously a murder case, so don't even think about cursing it." Kuriyasu said to Hirata.
Although she had a smile on her face and her voice was as gentle as ever, her words were very rude: "Mr. Hirata, if you put it that way, I would think you have something shameful that needs to be covered up with a curse."
This sentence is just short of saying that Hirata is the murderer.
Hirata's eyes dodged.
Conan caught this look.
He could tell from Hirata's eyes when he was face to face with Miss Kuriyasu that he seemed to be very guilty.
Could Mr. Hirata be the murderer?
Would the murderer show such an expression so obviously?
The melody of the Storm Sonata was still echoing. Conan ran to Li An and whispered, "Sister Li An, please turn off the radio. Uncle Maori is about to start investigating the case..."
Li An looked at Conan strangely and said, "But I have already closed it?"
Looking at the deep confusion in Li An's eyes, Conan was a little confused. What was going on?
Kuroba Kuriyasu naturally would not answer him. As the carrier of the illusion, the second movement was the key to preserving the memory of this illusion.
Only a few people she designated could hear it.
She herself... naturally "can't hear" it.
Conan took the radio from Li An. Although the melody of "The Storm" was almost coming to an end, the radio in his hand had indeed stopped working.
After arriving on the island, several things that happened were strange in every way. It couldn't really be a curse, right?
But that’s not right?
The curse should also be the "Moonlight" Sonata, and what about "The Tempest"?
As I was thinking this, the melody had ended, as if it had never appeared.
Kogoro Mori did not see Hirata's eyes, his attention was always on the dead Kawashima.
Because it was confirmed that a murder had occurred, Maori Kogoro became serious for a rare time. He said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, go and notify the police as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Xiaolan replied.
But looking at the rain outside the window, she hesitated a little, and when she was about to leave the room, Yuko mentioned going with her.
At Kuriyasu's signal, Yuko had a quick exchange of words with secretary Hirata, took the key to the community center from the distracted Hirata, and together with Mao Lilan, quickly went back and forth from the warehouse several times to take out many umbrellas and placed them at the entrance. They only took out two and then quickly left in the rain.
"Are there so many umbrellas in the warehouse?" On the way, Mao Lilan was a little confused.
Yuko said, "I guess it's accumulated from the past."
In the rain, the two figures gradually became blurred.
