Chapter 40 The First Dead
"not good!"
Conan's face changed drastically. He pushed open the gate of the citizen hall and ran inside.
"Conan..." Xiaolan was a little surprised, and she didn't understand what nerves Conan was causing.
Kogoro Mori responded quickly and muttered: "This piano seems to be a moonlight sonata, can you say..."
Thinking of the bad things, he ran towards the citizen hall.
"Dad~~~" Xiaolan stood up, stretched out Erkang's hand, still with a confused expression on her face.
What exactly happened?
There was Conan in front and father behind. Both of them hurried into the citizen hall. Could it be that any case happened?
"Xiaolan, what's going on? Why did uncle and Conan run into the citizen hall?" Naoko asked with a curious look on her face.
"I don't know either." Xiaolan shook her head.
"Maybe it's because someone died." Lin Qiu explained.
"Someone is dead!" The two girls made octaves.
"Well..." Lin Qiu rubbed his ears and said, "Didn't that person say that? When Keiji Aso and his former village chief, Yuuchi Kameyama died, a moonlight sonata sounded. Now... the moonlight sonata sounded again, maybe someone died again..."
"This kind of murder case is very strange. Maybe it's a ghost?"
"Ghosts are at the worries?" The two girls looked at each other, then screamed very similarly, and then hugged each other to get rid of the fear in their hearts.
(Okay, except for tomboys, girls are usually afraid of ghosts...)
Lin Qiu shrugged and said, "Okay, two, just make a joke to make you play with. There is no ghost in this world..."
(I'm talking about this world, but other worlds may not be necessary!)
"Don't be afraid. Even if you really encounter a ghost, I will protect you." Lin Qiu showed his masculinity and said to the two girls: "Uncle Maori and Conan have both ran into the citizen hall. Let's go in and take a look. Maybe what can I help."
After saying this, neither of the girls opposed it.
The three of them walked into the citizen hall and came to the room where the piano was stored.
At this time, many people were standing at the door with an overly frightened expression on their faces, obviously seeing the dead.
Kogoro Mouri walked over, checked, and confirmed that the other party was dead, so he ordered someone to call the police, and then asked Asai to test the body, and he walked aside and began to ponder silently.
"It's a curse!" The fat man hugged his head, with a terrified expression on his face, and shouted hysterically: "This is the curse of that piano!"
"Shut up!" Kogoro Mori glared at him in annoyance, then walked to the piano, took out a radio, and said, "What curse? It's not the piano that makes the sound, but this recorder!"
"Judged by what happened now and two years ago, this is a planned murder!"
Kogoro Mouri finally came to this conclusion.
"Kill, kill someone?" The fat man was so scared that he was dying.
"Hey hey hey, don't talk about some messy things, who are you?" asked the man in sunglasses.
"I'm a famous detective from Tokyo." Kogoro Mouri tidied up his collar very badly and said, "I'm Kogoro Mouri..."
"Oh oh oh, he's a space pilot!"
"No, he often appears in mystery novels..."
"That person is called Mingzhi."
"So, who is this guy?"
Kogoro Maori was completely speechless. How ignorant are you, the primitive people living on the island? You even don’t even know a famous detective like me. It’s so hateful!
Just when Kogoro Mouri explained his identity, Conan began his own actions.
He first secretly observed the body, then reached out to dip the water stains on the ground, and finally licked it with his tongue...
(It should be sea water.)
Conan said in his heart.
At this time, Asai Sei's body was over and reported to everyone: "The inferred death time is thirty minutes to an hour ago, and the cause of death is suffocation. I think Mr. Kawashima should have drowned in the sea..."
"Did he die because of drowning?" asked Kogoro Mouri.
"Maybe." Asai Naruhi smiled bitterly, "If I don't dissect it, I can't determine the cause of death..."
"Doctor Seki is right." Conan stood beside the window and said his reasoning: "Look, the coat on the beach outside must be Mr. Kawashima's thing. From that door to the piano, there are also traces of dragging from the beach. Moreover... Mr. Kawashima's back is also stained with soil and sand... With the fact that the door and window are all locked, the first few minutes of the recording should be blank..."
"When did this guy, this..." Kogoro Mouri's face was full of surprise.
"...I'm afraid it was during the cemetery that Mr. Kawashima was brought to the beach to drown, and then he moved the body to this room, then locked it, pressed the switch of the recorder, and then walked out of the room and into the corridor. Isn't it, uncle?"
When Conan said this, he felt that this was not something he could say, so he used his usual technique to act cute towards Kogoro Mouri.
"That's it, yes." Kogoro Mouri smiled ugly: "If the door of this room is locked, because we have been in the entrance hall just now, according to my judgment, the possibility of the prisoner returning to the ritual hall is quite high!"
"Wait, wait a moment, you mean... the prisoner is still among us?" asked a very goblin woman.
"Yes, the prisoner is among you." Kogoro Maori replied with certainty, and then asked at them: "Did anyone see Mr. Kawashima leaving his position halfway through the ritual?"
"I know this, I'm sure he said he wanted to go to the bathroom." said the current village chief bald man.
"Have anyone else seen others leave their seats?" asked Kogoro Mori.
"Haha..." The man in sunglasses smiled, and then mocked: "How can I remember all this kind of thing?"
"So, what if Mr. Kawashima had offended someone?" Kogoro Mouri continued to ask.
"It's not a question of offending, but after Mr. Kawashima's death, the happiest person is the one who is the village chief candidate, just like him." said the bald man.
"What did you say?" Mr. Kiyomizu was so angry that he pointed at the bald man: "Then the same is true for you. In order to continue to be the village chief, you, the current village chief, are likely to kill people!"
"Yes, that's right. If someone hadn't arranged Mr. Kawashima's vote source as his own, then my father would have been sure to be elected." The goblin girl mocked.
"What?" Mr. Kiyomizu was very angry.
"Miss, stop talking." The fat man came out to ease the atmosphere.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Kogoro Mouri immediately stood up as a peacemaker so as not to find the murderer, and these people started fighting.
With Kogoro Mouri coming out to help, the atmosphere gradually eased.
At this time, Xiaolan also brought the police.
There is only one policeman on Yueying Island, and he is an elderly policeman.
Because it was too late, the old policeman left everyone's information and asked everyone to go home and start investigating and inquiring from tomorrow morning.
The crowd gradually dissipated.
The old policeman stayed to guard the body, while Kogoro Mori and his party returned to the hotel. Asai Naiji happened to walk along the way and walked together for a while.
