Outside the citizen hall.

The melon-eating crowd held high signs and was conducting demonstrations.

"The tyranny of the current village chief is not allowed!"

"We want to defeat the privilege!"

"Give us back the farmland and don't pollute the fishing ground..."

Lin Qiu and his group came to the front of the citizen hall and saw this scene.

"Tsk!" Kogoro Mori couldn't help but complain: "How unpopular is this village chief?"

"Yes, with so many opponents, just think about it and know that this village chief did not do anything good to benefit the villagers during his term of office." Lin Qiu nodded.

"For such a village chief, it's better to step down quickly." Kogoro Mori said.

"Dad~~~" Xiaolan put her hands on her hips and her expression became serious, and she whispered: "Don't say such things, give me some face..."

"Hmph, I know." Kogoro Mori replied indifferently.

At this time, a fat man in a black suit and a pair of glasses hurriedly towards the citizen hall.

"Sir, please wait!" Kogoro Mouri quickly shouted.

The fat man stopped, looked at Kogoro Mouri and his group curiously, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked, "What's wrong with you guys?"

Kogoro Mouri briefly explained.

The fat man seemed a little scared. After thinking about it, he agreed to Kogoro Mouri's request, then took them to the reception room in the citizen hall, and went to find the village chief.

However, he has been there for a while.

After smoking a cigarette, Kogoro Mori couldn't help but complain, "It's true, how long should we wait!"

"Dad, for work, just wait a little longer." Xiaolan smiled and asked as if she was asking for advice: "Right, Conan?"

Conan didn't speak.

Xiaolan felt a little strange and immediately looked back, but she didn't see Conan.

"Naoko, Lin Qiu, have you seen Conan?"

Lin Qiu pointed to an open door opposite and said, "I just saw him running into that room."

Xiaolan said angrily: "It's true that you run around without your master's permission. It's wrong to do this."

Naoko smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaolan, Conan is just a child. Let's go and find him back."

The three of them walked towards the room.

Kogoro Mouri felt it was boring to stay alone, so he followed him and walked to the window and said in surprise: "The sea is behind..."

The room is big and there is nothing else except a piano.

Xiaolan saw that the piano was covered with dust, pouted and said, "Oh, why is this piano so dirty?"

Conan took out a tissue and said, "Just wipe it a little."

At this moment, the fat man walked in with a panic expression on his face and said, "No... don't touch it! That piano was played by Mr. Aso at the concert on the day of his death...the cursed piano!"

"If you can't, how could the piano be cursed?" Kogoro Mouri didn't believe it at all.

"This is true!" the fat man hurriedly explained: "It's not just Mr. Aso, but also the same thing happened to the former village chief Mr. Kameyama..."

"So, it's Mr. Yuki Kameyama who is doing this today!" Kogoro Mouri was a little surprised.

"Yes." The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "That happened two years ago. It was a full moon night. I happened to pass by this nearby... It should be in the citizen hall where no one was, but there was a sound of someone playing the piano. When I wanted to confirm whether someone was there, the sound stopped immediately."

"When I walked in, I found Mr. Kameyama lying on the piano. He died. The cause of his death was a heart attack. And... until his death, the song he played was the song "Moonlight Sonata" played by Mr. Aso in the flames. From then on, this piano was unknowingly called the cursed piano..."

After hearing these words, Conan began to commit suicide.

Always believe in science and believe that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. This is the self-cultivation of a detective.

Conan felt that cursing was a fool, so he ran over and played it randomly: "This piano is nothing different at all!"

Xiaolan is a karate champion, but she is afraid of things like gods and ghosts.

This is also the nature of a girl.

Just like Miss Naoko, she was so scared that she hugged Lin Qiu's arm tightly.

Xiaolan looked at Conan with concern and whispered: "Conan, are you okay?"

Conan turned to look at Xiaolan with a confused expression: "Sister Xiaolan, don't you really think this piano is cursed, do you?"

Xiaolan nodded in fear.

"Please, Sister Xiaolan, there are no ghosts in this world. If you don't believe me, please ask uncle?" Conan said.

"Ahem..." Kogoro Mori cleared his throat and said, "That's right, Xiaolan, there are no ghosts in this world, and some of them are just people who pretend to be ghosts."

"Okay, please go out and wait first." The fat man invited Lin Qiu and his party out of the room and said cautiously: "Anyway, before the ritual is over, please be sure not to enter this house again. The village chief will meet you after the ritual is over."

After saying this, the fat man ran away.

"Tsk!" Kogoro Mouri complained dissatisfiedly: "It's so hateful. He actually drove us out. I'm a famous detective after all!"

(What kind of detective is obviously a confused detective...)

Lin Qiu complained silently in his heart.

"You are still here!" Asai Naomi wore a black lady's suit and greeted Kogoro Mori and the others.

"Miss Chengshi, are you here to participate in the ritual?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

"Yes, because when I first arrived on this island, the person who was examined for the first time was Mr. Kameyama, so I wanted to burn incense and greet him." Asai Narimi replied.

"Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Kiyomizu." Asai Nariki pointed to the middle-aged man standing beside him and introduced: "It's the one among the three village chief candidates I just mentioned to you."

"I'm Shimizu when I meet for the first time. Please give me some advice." Shimizu Masato said with a smile.

The adult Kogoro Maori made a few polite words with Shimizu Masato, and then there was nothing left.

Shimizu Masato and Asai Narimi went in to participate in the ritual, while Kogoro and his group were still waiting outside the citizen hall.

Time passes slowly.

The sound of chanting scriptures came from the citizen hall.

"The moon is so round tonight." Lin Qiu looked up at the sky and sighed: "I wonder how long the ritual will last?"

"If Lin Qiu feels sleepy, then go to the hotel with Naoko." Xiaolan said.

"No, let's stay with you." said Miss Naoko.

When the two girls were humble to each other, a familiar piano sound suddenly came, which was the moonlight sonata...
