Chapter 67 Moonlight Sonata: The Fire of the Past
On Friday evening again, Conan found Qianjun, who had just returned from the dojo practiced kendo. It turned out that Detective Maori received a letter of commission. A man named Keiji Aso invited him to investigate on Tsukikawa Island. The letter said, "When the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear on Tsukikawa Island again." At the same time, a commission fee of 500,000 yen was transferred to the account of Detective Maori.
Originally, the commission that had not been agreed upon before could be rejected, but Uncle Maori was excited to spend a lot of the commission fee. Of course, he had to go to Yueying Island this Saturday. Conan felt a little unpleasant, so he asked Qianjun to find an excuse to go with him, so he was more stable. Qianjun had a certain impression of Yueying Island in his memory, so he immediately agreed.
After enjoying the fun that night, Jingyang and the other two leaned against Qianjun's side and were breathing in a low voice, trying to calm their breathing. Qianjun was also a little tired. He was really crazy just now. Qianjun told them about tomorrow's itinerary. Jingyang gently bit Qianjun's shoulder and said softly: "Let's go too, just go on a trip. I heard that Yueying Island is a quiet and beautiful place." Qianjun was startled and warned that there might be danger.
Naoko hugged Jing Yang Manmiao's delicate body and made an attractive move, saying lightly, "I'm not worried about danger, I'm afraid you'll take the opportunity to mess around outside, are you still not busy at home?" Qianjun was speechless. Xiaoya stretched out her hand and gently drew circles on Qianjun's chest, deliberately adding fuel to the fire, "That Xiaolan should go too. Let's take care of us together, so as not to feel uneasy." Looking at the distrustful gaze of the three girls, Qianjun had to agree to take them with her, but she asked them to bring them all with her this time.
After dawn, everyone finished breakfast, Qianjun called Yumi and asked her to come over the next few days to help take care of Heishan. Just as she was about to set off, she found that Xiaoyue and Chihiro came over with Jian. It turned out that Chihiro came from Osaka to Tokyo to play overnight. Xiaoyue suggested that she and Jingyang and the others go to the Kanyi Dojo to practice kendo. When they learned that Qianjun was going to Yueying Island, the two sisters immediately decided to join. They wanted to see the sleeping Kogoro's mystery show. After Qianjun's scolding was invalid, he had to agree to them to go with him, complaining that people in this world were so interested in reasoning and crime. So everyone boarded the ship together. Xiaolan was very happy to see that they were all here. When asked the reason, Qianjun had to say that he would take these girls to Yueying Island.
Conan had a black thread, "Please, Qianjun, you can do it yourself. Wouldn't it be a mess?" Qianjun smiled bitterly, "You think I want it, but when they heard that I was going to travel to Yueying Island, they had to follow me." Qianjun patted the long box behind him, "Here, they knew there would be dangers to bring all the weapons." Conan was angry, "You won't take some measures, really, I don't know how to keep the secret." Qianjun said that the most difficult thing for a man to keep the secret when facing his beloved woman on the bed, but comforted Conan, "Okay, Conan, they can also reduce the vigilance of those who are interested, let these 6 beauties attract others' attention, and we just privately investigate the case." Conan agreed with this.
But Detective Maori was complaining, "Tsk, how could there be such a client? He actually forced my detective Kogoro Mori to do things. He also asked me to take a group of high school students and children to investigate the case during the weekend break. What a scam!" Xiaolan couldn't bear it anymore, "Dad, you said, if you didn't spend all the commission, would we have to accompany you to take risks?" "Baga, I'll go by myself, who asked you to follow me?"
Xiaolan was angry, "We followed us to protect your safety. Didn't the letter say that there would disappear if there was a shadow? Qianjun and the others just happened to want to travel there, so don't mess with others." Xiaowuro disdained, "It's really convenient to have money. Hey, I said Qianjun, you can cover all the costs of our trip this time. Anyway, you and Xiaolan are classmates, and Conan are just children." Qianjun was depressed, and this uncle really knew how to save money. He nodded and agreed. Xiaolan's embarrassed face turned red, thinking that his father was too embarrassing.
Qianxun saw the island appear and shouted loudly. She has liked to wander on the sea since she was a child. In the words of Qianshui Yimu, she is born to be the daughter of the sea. Xiaoyue is also very interested. This island happens to be Month, so maybe something interesting will happen. This beautiful island is in the sea, with the waves slamming the beach, and the scenery looks pretty good. There are many fishermen near the shore to salvage sea fish. Jingyang sorted out her hair blown by the wind, "Oh, it looks very beautiful, I like it here very much." Naoko straightened her body and looked into the distance, "Indeed, there are not many people, so it must be very elegant and comfortable."
Xiaoya pulled Xiaolan and opened her arms to praise, "The shape of this island is also very beautiful, there must be many beautiful places." Looking at the beautiful girls' comments, the sea breeze blows the corners of their clothes and long hair, as if a group of goddesses from the sky descended to the mortal world together. Qianjun was a little obsessed for a moment. When he turned around, he saw Conan staring at Xiaolan's thighs in a daze. Qianjun was funny. This guy often tricked Xiaolan and held him to sleep and had not seen enough.
Kogoro looked disdainfully, "Tsk, what scenery can you see, but there is a place to drink." As if nothing had happened, Kogoro walked up the shore with his luggage, "I'll solve the case early and go back early. What a broken place." Everyone had no choice but to follow the uncle to the household registration office. Qianjun carried a lot of luggage and complained, "Are you wrong? Is it necessary to bring so many things for just one night? These women are really troublesome." Conan also carried the suitcase in his hand and nodded in favor, "Sister Xiaolan said it was already simple." Xiaoyue and Chihiro had already chatted with the villagers on the shore. Chihiro, who had been hanging around the beach for a long time, easily gained the favor of the fishermen.
But at the household registration registration office, the household registration staff told everyone, "Keiji Aso? Sorry, Mr. Maori, there is really no such person." Kogoro Maori was very angry, "Hey, why is there no such person? I was invited by him from Tokyo from afar. Please, please help me check it." The household registration staff was helpless. Looking at the beautiful girls swallowing, he really wanted to help find this person, "Mr. Maori, there is really no, it's not that I refuse to help, the list is here. If you don't believe it, you can see it yourself." At this time, a person came in outside to ask about the situation, and the household registration staff hurriedly stood up, "Director, they came here to find someone. I said nothing, but they didn't believe it."
The middle-aged director of household registration is a little strange, "Oh, that's it, everyone, I'll say the director of household registration in Yueying Island. What are you doing and who are you looking for? Our registered person just came last year, and he may not know much about some situations." Xiaoyue answered first, "Uncle, hello, we are here for a trip, oh, this is a famous detective Mouri Kogoro from Tokyo." Kogoro also nodded, "Hello, I was commissioned by a man named Keiji Aso to investigate the case." The director of household registration was shocked when he heard the name, his face was pale, and he shouted in fear, "Keiji Aso? It's impossible, how could it be?"
Everyone around looked at each other in fear, and the atmosphere was very tense. Kogoro had to ask about the situation. The registered director replied tremblingly, "Keiji Aso is a famous pianist on Tsukikage Island. But 12 years ago, for some reason, he locked the whole family in the house and set a fire. The whole family was burned to death, and even his wife and daughter were not spared." A person next to him also answered Chihiro's question, accompanied by the trembling sound of teeth, "Yes, I remember it was the full moon at that time, and in the raging fire, he kept playing Beethoven's piano music moonlight until everything turned into ashes..."
"Damn it, it was actually a letter written by the deceased, it must be a prank." Kogoro was furious, "I should burn it and go back to Tokyo immediately." Conan hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle, it's not necessarily a joke. Maybe someone on the island asked you to investigate the cause of Keiji Aso's death back then." Qianjun also agreed with Conan's opinion, "Yes, uncle, that commission fee is not fake. I don't think there will be any dead people sending money underground."
As soon as this sentence was said, the girls and the girls looked ugly, and girls were generally afraid of these supernatural things. Xiaoyue also frowned and said, "The postmark is also from Yueying Island. It seems that the person who sent the letter was really on Yueying Island." Qianxun also recovered, "Yes, why not do this. Let's go directly to the village chief. I just heard the fishermen mention that the village chief has been on this island for many years, and usually ordinary things should not be hidden from him."
Everyone walked towards the central area of the village. Several girls took out the blade from the box on Qianjun's back. It seemed that they thought the island was a bit weird. Suddenly, a beautiful white figure appeared at the entrance of the hospital in front. "The tendon is too much, you have to take medicine, go back and have a good rest, don't run around, do you know?" A cute little ghost nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Sister Cheng Shi, then goodbye, bye."
The tendons were too bouncing away. Only then did everyone see the appearance of the female nurse. Qianjun and Conan were both amazed at the same time, and they were a beautiful woman. They stood there in a cool and heroic look at the rosy and beautiful waves, and were very young. Qianjun immediately stepped forward to chat with him, "I'm sorry, I'll bother, this beautiful lady nurse, we are here for a trip. Can you please tell us the village chief's work place? Your beauty is as dazzling as the stars in the sky, and your love is as warm as an angel." Everyone looked dark, and Jingyang cursed angrily, "This bastard is here again. He can't walk when he sees the beautiful girl. This female nurse happens to be the type he likes."
However, any girl will be very happy to hear others praise her beauty. The female nurse with a ponytail is no exception. She smiled and told Qianjun the way to the village chief’s work area and corrected, “Look at the sign on my clothes, I am a doctor, not a nurse. My name is Asai Narishi. By the way, are you from other places?” Xiaolan went up and replied, “Yes, we came from Tokyo.”
Cheng Shi smiled, "I have also come from Tokyo. I have been a doctor here for only three years. You are here for travel. Look at how good the environment on this island is, the air is fresh, elegant and comfortable, the most important thing is that it is very quiet, and it is most suitable for vacation here..." Before she finished speaking, an election car passed by, and the speaker shouted loudly, "For the interests of the island... please vote for Mr. Shimizu Masato..." Everyone was a little stupid, and Cheng Shi was also embarrassed, "This, we are conducting the village chief's election, so it's a bit noisy these days..."
Next, Cheng Shi enthusiastically introduced several candidates. Kogoro was impatiently yelling to leave, and Cheng Shi's face immediately became cold. Qianjun hurriedly said, "Uncle, take Conan to find the village chief first. I will have a good exchange with Miss Cheng Shi about the election. Jing Yang, you guys should settle down first, haha." Naoko hurriedly grabbed Jing Yang who was about to get angry, and Xiaoya also whispered: "Sister, we women should not do anything random when they work. This is not good." Jing Yang was unhappy, "Work? I think he clearly likes someone, so he takes the opportunity to get close."
Xiaoyue was funny next to her, "Sister Jingyang, what are you worried about? You look like a fool brother. Will that beautiful doctor fall in love with him?" Chihiro also agreed, "You can accept Brother Qianjun's girl from the heart, you have to spend at least half a year with him. Only his handsome guy like Shinichi Kudo can trick such a beautiful girl in a short time." Xiaolan heard the sound of the black look on the side, and looked at Cheng Shi. She was really lively and beautiful, thinking in her heart that it was a good thing that Shinichi didn't come.
Qianjun held Nakashi's hand and asked about some of the situation on the island. The election is now on the island. The candidates include the representative of the fisherman, Masato Kiyomizu, the current village chief, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, and the rich entrepreneur Eio Kawashima. Nakashi is more optimistic about Kawashima Eio Kawashima. Of course, he inferred based on the conversations of patients. Qianjun also obtained an important information from her. Two years ago, the former village chief, Yuu Kameyama, also died on a full moon night.
That night, someone passed by the Citizen Hall and heard the sound of a piano coming out of the Citizen Hall. He walked in and checked it out. When he approached, the sound of the piano stopped immediately. When he walked in, he found that Mr. Kameyama had fallen on the piano and died. The piano piece was the Beethoven piano sonata "Moonlight" that Mr. Aso continued to play when he died. Qianjun felt it was interesting. Nakami was curious about why Qianjun was interested in these situations. Qianjun did not hide it, saying that he was commissioned by Keiji Aso to investigate the case with Detective Maori.
Next, Qianjun touched Cheng Shi's little hand and started chatting from all over the world, talking about history and people's hearts. Qianjun accidentally mentioned the story of Han Sui in Cao Cao's writing books in the history of the Three Kingdoms. He commented that the most terrifying thing in the world is the hearts of the people. Sometimes, killing people with a knife is even more difficult to guard against. Cheng Shi also remembered that it seemed that Oda Nobunaga also used similar strategies to disintegrate the hostile alliance during the Warring States Period.
After reluctantly separated from Asai Narimi, Qianjun rushed to his residence to meet with everyone and told the news he knew about Conan and Detective Maori. They both met the village chief Tatsuji Kuroi, but he was very afraid of the questions raised by Detective Maori and refused to speak out. The villagers are now very dissatisfied with the village chief of the Kuroi, and they are protesting and calling for him to step down along the way. However, Chihiro knew from an old fisherman that Aoyama Kazuyama, Eio Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroi, Ken Nishimoto and 12 years ago
Keiji Aso, who died, was a good friend who had been playing since childhood, and the witnesses of Mr. Aso's death were Mr. Kamenyama, Mr. Kuroi, Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Nishimoto. Conan vaguely knew that the matter was probably related to these people. Detective Maori learned from Kuroi Village Chief's son-in-law, Shuichi Murazawa, that tonight was the second anniversary of Kamenyama's death. So everyone went to participate in this grand ceremony, but before that, Conan proposed to go to the citizen hall to see the scene of Kamenyama's death.
Everyone passed by the reception room of the community activity center together. It was indeed very lively, protesting, speaking, and talking, and there were chaos everywhere. Qianjun smiled and asked the six girls to meet the candidates of the village chief Heiyan and others to see if they could know anything. When the villagers were attracted by the beautiful girls, Qianjun, Conan and Kogoro entered the room where the piano was placed. There was a piano there, which was very expensive, with a thin layer of dust on it. Conan whispered that the piano seemed to be useless, but someone was doing maintenance, and the paint and other things were all new. Kogoro walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and opened the window, "Oh, it turned out that this place was facing the sea, and the scenery was really beautiful." At this time, a weak man wearing glasses came over, "Don't move the piano around, this is the curse piano used by Mr. Aso when he committed suicide."
The person Kogoro recognized was Kazuaki Hirata, the current village chief's secretary. "Why is it said to be cursed?" Kazuaki Hirata explained that the former village chief, Yuu Kazuyama, who died two years ago, died on this piano, and the song he played before his death was the moonlight sonata. "What? Are you saying that the former village chief also died on this piano? And this piano was originally Mr. Keiji Aso?"
