Conan Moslin

Based on his communication with Yuko and his previous communication with the police officer, Conan confirmed one thing.

Mr. Kameyama who died two years ago, Mr. Kawashima who died these two days, the village chief Kuroiwa, and the mentally ill Mr. Nishimoto were friends with Keiji Aso who died twelve years ago.

Combined with the medicines under the piano in the community center, he had a guess.

There is a hidden story behind the fire that occurred twelve years ago.

His speculation was that twelve years ago, the four men locked the Aso family in their home and set it on fire, and Mr. Aso's daughter should have been locked in the villa at the time.

However, it is said that Mrs. Kongmu, who had left early, used some unknown method to take the four-year-old girl away early.

Mr. Nishimoto may have seen Mrs. Soragi, but he did not see the girl.

Or, the four people who spread the rumor about the piano curse might not have thought that the girl they were sure was dead was not dead at all.

until--

Two years ago, after Mr. Kameyama's death, Nishimoto Ken's mental state began to become somewhat abnormal. And a month ago... before he became Edogawa Conan, Nishimoto Ken's behavior became even more abnormal.

Maybe... he saw Mr. Aso's daughter still alive?

Connecting the news about his daughter with what happened twelve years ago, an idea formed in Ken Nishimoto's already confused mind: Mrs. Soraki saved the girl who was supposed to have died, so... by begging for mercy and confessing his crime, he might be able to avoid being killed.

But the person who killed these people couldn't be that girl.

Twelve years ago, Mr. Aso's daughter was only four years old, and two years ago she was only fourteen years old.

Moreover, it was said that she did not have time to go to the island because she was preparing for her final exams.

So...the possibility that Keiji Aso's relatives are the murderer seems to be blocked.

Maybe someone else who is related to Aso Keiji? After all... since the letter of commission was sent in the name of Aso Keiji, it is impossible that he has no connection with him at all.

The people on this island...

There is another strange place.

Last night, when village chief Kuroiwa heard the word "father" from Kuroba Kuriyasu, his expression was not shock or surprise, but rather, it was as he expected.

Why does he have such an expression?

Shouldn't it be shocking?

Conan's head was now a mess. Perhaps only the music score could tell him the answer.

……

When we walked into the community center, except for the piano room, the lights were still off everywhere else, and there was no one at the door of the piano room.

Conan pushed the door open before the other two did.

There were two people lying on the ground, one near the door and the other near the window.

The window opposite the piano room was broken, and the curtains had been rolled up, with a darker color around the edges.

There were some spots of light flashing on the ground, which must be water stains.

Kuroba Kuriyasu was just collecting the transparent props on the ground and stuffing them into the belt around his waist when he heard the sound of a door being pushed open.

Conan looked at the mess and asked in confusion: "What just happened?"

Li An glanced at the man lying by the window and said, "Oh, it was a magic trick. My props might have scared him."

Magic...magic?

Mr. Hirata, whose eyes were almost blinded by the light, fell to the ground, thinking that the magic props the lady was talking about must not be what he imagined.

"What kind of magic is this?" Conan asked curiously.

"Ask them."

Feeling that Li An had no intention of revealing the secret of the magic, Conan looked around and found several notes left at the place where Miss Li An found the medicine yesterday.

Li An didn't have time to take them back.

He quickly collected the note before Li An and put it in his notebook without looking at it carefully.

After all, what we should do now is to find the murderer.

Kuroba Kurian shook his head and laughed.

Yuko stood up from beside Murasawa and said, "I think we need to see Dr. Asai first. Mr. Murasawa is still conscious, but he may have a mild concussion."

Mr. Murasawa squeezed the tuning hammer in his hand and whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble Miss Li An."

"I should be the one to apologize." Li An's smile faded a little, and she said apologetically, "I didn't consider Mr. Murasawa's arrival. Although I prepared a reminder on the piano, I didn't expect someone to see it... I will discuss compensation and medical expenses with Miss Lingzi later."

"I'm so sorry..."

Yuko, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch.

This is a blank check...

Speaking of compensation, Conan suddenly remembered something.

Not long after Tino Cabana was arrested, he and several other children in the detective team received anonymous packages. The packages had no address on them. When they were opened, they found a brand new set of toys with a small note inside.

"To calm down the brave children."

Because the Tino Cabana incident in the warehouse happened only a few days ago, he immediately guessed that it was sent by that "Hou Lian".

The value of several sets of toys is much less than the treasure map that I bought with my own money.

Conan was very confused by this.

He had specifically compared the notes with several children, and found that none of the handwriting was identical. The notes did not have a signature, but instead had a few green leaves drawn on them, and the leaves on each note were different.

I don’t know when I can see this person again.

At this time, the conversation between several people was still going on.

"Please, officer, keep Mr. Hirata under guard," said Kuroba Kuriyasu. "I guess the person Conan and the others mentioned who came here last night is him."

The police officer nodded.

"Yuuko, go find Dr. Asai... and bring Mr. Mori here too. Ask him to confirm that the person who came last night was Mr. Hirata Kazuaki."

"Oh."

Yuko, who felt like she had been running on the road all the time, sighed and went out resignedly.

Conan felt ignored: "Li An-xiao... Li An-jie! I saw it yesterday too..."

The police officer interrupted him: "Little brother, what you said cannot be used as evidence."

right.

Kuroba Kuriyasu felt that what the police officer said was truly insightful.

As for Conan, he is only one step away from the truth.

No matter which truth it is.

"Officer, do we need to go and see the music score in the warehouse now?" Li An asked.

The police officer was a little embarrassed: "I can't get away right now...why don't you and the detective go and take a look? I'll stay here to look after these two gentlemen."

After saying this, he sat down on the piano bench, obviously taking his words very seriously.

Two people lying on the ground: ...

Hirata: He can’t see clearly right now, how can he run?

Murasawa: No, I have a headache, ouch——

Li An and Conan went into the warehouse together.

There was a thin figure hanging inside the door.
