Chapter 100: Explanation of the Moonlit Night
April 3, Wednesday, the sixteenth day of the lunar calendar, evening.
Under the "moonlight", the "shadow" on Moon Shadow Island continued to "disappear". Two more events happened this evening, and they were two different events from the previous two.
Conan and Yamazaki deduced that the key figure in the Tsukage Island incident, Mr. Nishimoto Ken, was attacked by the sea. It looks like the method was done by the same murderer. However, the code words left this time are different from the previous two. One is that Mr. Xiben was engraved with three rows of music scores, and there was an extra row of notes from the beginning of the first chapter of Moonlight. The second is the score left by the murderer, which is not a score containing code words, but a complete score of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. And there is an extra piece of music that is exactly the same as the one engraved on Mr. Nishimoto's body, only the notes at the beginning of the first chapter of Moonlight.
The fiance of Kuroiwa Reiko, the daughter of the current village head Mr. Yan Chenji, Mr. Murasawa Zhou Yi was attacked in the piano room of the public hall. However, judging from the method, it was done by another murderer, but Mori guessed that after the murderer attacked Mr. Nishimoto at the beach, Mr. Murazawa ran into him when he returned from the piano room, so he used the piano bench in desperation. Attacked him, and then Conan broke through the Xingzang, so before he could make a move, he hurriedly broke the window and escaped.
Since Conan found some other things in the piano room at the time, he and Yamazaki came to the piano room together when the Megure Police Department summoned the suspects to the village office.
Conan said: "I saw that person looking for something under the piano before he escaped from this room." He got under the piano, and after groping around, opened a hidden compartment.
I reached in and felt it, and it was empty. However, looking at the white powder stuck to his hand when he took it back, Conan said again: "This is where the check for 500,000 yuan was hidden. Yamazaki, you folded the check because it was also glued to it." And it’s pretending that I don’t want me to smell it, the unique smell of this white medicine.”
"Because that guy is so exaggerated that he won't even be touched." Yamazaki said with a smile, "and since he is so afraid of this cursed piano, why did he come alone late at night? If If you must meet, why do you have to come here?"
"That's because," Conan said, "here is a cursed piano that no one else wants to get close to."
Yamazaki said with a smile: "So, the more he doesn't want people to touch it, the more I suspect that there is something wrong with this piano, so I came to check yesterday afternoon, and found this check for 500,000 yuan, and a package of that Plant something."
Conan smiled and said, "They should have traded last night, the night of the full moon, so you said that if you don't take it away first, someone will take it away."
"Yeah," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I think they won't let the check stay after they find out the check for 500,000 yuan."
"By the way, if they don't take it away, maybe it will be confiscated by the police in the end." Conan asked, "Are you sure it's for us, isn't it..."
"You can rest assured about this." Yamazaki said with a smile, "If you are not at ease, you can tear it up after the incident is over. However, in this way, you may have to live in the utility room for a long time in the future. "
Conan immediately gave Yamazaki a pair of triangular eyes, then took out the small bag containing the check, and asked angrily, "Now, can I open it?"
"No," Yamazaki said with a smile, "unless you understand the whole story of this incident now."
"It seems that the client's name is a bit special.
Putting the bag away, Conan asked again, "By the way, have you confirmed it's him?" "
"Not yet." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Unfortunately, last night, I wanted to come here at night to catch him at the scene, but unfortunately I was disturbed by you, and I didn't even see his appearance. I really couldn't confirm whether it was him or not. .”
"Didn't you say he came here out of curiosity?" Conan smiled angrily, "Who told you not to tell me in the future, otherwise how could he run away. Moreover, this also shows that my reasoning is correct. This piano room is a key location in this event."
"It's not the key to him anymore. He has already taken the package away, and now we can only wait for the inspection results of those window fragments to catch him." Looking at the cleaned ground, Yamazaki said with a smile, "It's a pity There are not enough forensic personnel, otherwise, the inspection should be completed now, and he can be arrested immediately."
"There is almost no evidence to catch him, but I want to confirm whether it is him," Conan asked with a smile, "Isn't there a very simple way?"
"Oh, you're trying to trick him," Yamazaki asked back, "Didn't you say he's slippery? Is he so easy to be fooled?"
"What's the point of trying?" Conan asked with a smile.
"Well, you can give it a try." Looking at Conan, Yamazaki said with a smile, "Then this task will be entrusted to you."
"You guy." Conan said, "Okay, let's go to the village office too, and we'll get that guy out first."
When they arrived at the village office, Yamazaki and Conan found that Mr. Hirata had just arrived, and the bandage on his left hand should have been made when he broke the window. He just arrived now, he should have dealt with the package first, then caused the injury, and then wrapped it up before coming here.
Seeing that everyone is here, the Megure Police Department said: "These three incidents that happened on the island, judging from the circumstances, the murderer is definitely the same person. Now Mr. Nishimoto Takeshi has been removed from the suspects, so, the secretary of the village chief Hirata Sir, Ms. Reiko Kuroiwa, Mr. Shimizu, the candidate for village chief, Dr. Narumi Asai, and Mr. Murasawa who is recuperating in the clinic, one of the five of you must be the murderer."
Seeing that the four people present were silent, the police department asked, "Dr. Chengshi, Mr. Murasawa, is he still awake? How is Mr. Nishimoto?"
Dr. Cheng Shi said: "Yes, Mr. Murasawa, he has not woken up, and Mr. Nishimoto, too. Mr. Forensic Doctor is taking care of them."
"Excuse me," Mr. Hirata asked, "may I go out and buy juice?" Then he explained, "I just ran over and I'm a little thirsty."
"Yes." Mumu Police Department agreed.
Outside the village office, looking at Mr. Hirata who was putting coins into the vending machine with a wallet in his left hand and coins in his right, Conan walked up to him and asked inadvertently, "Uncle, why is there something sticky on your left sleeve? Some white powder?"
"Ah!" Mr. Hirata was taken aback, and immediately patted the sleeve of his left hand with his right hand. Unexpectedly, in a panic, he dropped the wallet to the ground, and the coins rolled all over the floor immediately.
Looking at the coins on the ground, Conan immediately exclaimed: "Wow, there is a lot of foreign money."
Mr. Hirata immediately said: "Ah, that's because my uncle likes to collect foreign coins." After saying that, he squatted down and quickly collected the coins, then took the drink that fell from the vending machine and left.
"It seems to be him," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Now we are waiting for the forensic personnel to provide evidence."
"This one is solved," Conan asked, "What about the other one?"
"It depends on the speed of that policeman." Yamazaki said with a smile, "There must be some clues on the score left by Keiji Aso."
At this time, Mr. Police, holding a document bag and panting heavily, ran over.
Conan immediately stepped forward and asked, "Did you find it, Mr. Police?"
Mr. Police said with a smile: "I finally found the music score left by Mr. Aso." He waved the file bag on his hand.
"Ah," Conan said, "Let me take a look." He snatched the file bag, opened it, and found that there were more than 20 sheet music in it.
"Is it written in coded language?" Yamazaki said, "Read it and listen."
Conan interpreted: "To my son..."
"Son?" Yamazaki asked back.
Mr. Police said: "By the way, besides his daughter, Mr. Aso also has a son. Because he had a serious illness when he was young, he has been staying in the hospital. His name should be Chengshi."
"Chengshi?" Yamazaki asked back.
Conan confirmed: "Noromi Asai is true."
I said what's wrong, thinking about the commonality of the three incidents... If it was done by Dr. Chengshi, it would make sense. Thinking of this, Conan said, "It should be Doctor Chengshi."
"What about gender? According to Dr. Chengshi, he's not a man." Yamazaki said with a smile, "By the way, doesn't Lan live in the same room as Dr. Chengshi?"
Conan immediately said: "I'll ask her." Then he put the music score in Yamazaki's hand and entered the village office.
Yamazaki said with a smile: "Mr. Police, please wait a moment, or wait a moment, I will come to the Megure Police Department."
"I'm not in a hurry," Mr. Police said with a smile, "You just check slowly." He sat down on the flower bed next to him.
Walking to Lan's side in the village office, Conan whispered, "Sister Lan, come with me." Then he pulled Lan out of the village office.
"Sister Lan, can I ask you a question," Conan asked embarrassingly, "that is, you and Dr. Chengshi live together today, right?"
"Yeah." Lan asked back, "What's the problem?"
"That," Conan asked again, "is Dr. Cheng Shi really a woman?"
"Yes." Lan asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"
"Sister Lan," Conan asked again, "Can you tell me how you know?"
Lan said in embarrassment, "This..."
"Sister Lan, tell me," Conan said, "tell me, Sister Lan."
"Crack!" After knocking on Conan's head, Lan said angrily, "What are you doing asking about these things?"
Yamazaki came over and said seriously: "This is very important."
"Yamazaki..." Lan said in surprise.
Nodding his head, Yamazaki continued to say seriously: "You must know."
"Well," Lan said, "Doctor Chengshi is indeed a woman. Her bathrobe fell on the floor last night and got wet. I gave her a new one. She changed it in front of me. Yes." Then he asked earnestly, "Now tell me, what is the reason, are you going to ask this question?"
With a sigh of relief, Conan smiled and said, "That's great."
"That way I can say it with confidence." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Keiji Aso has a son named Naruto, we suspect..."
"What?" Lan said in surprise, "No way..."
"That's it." Yamazaki smiled, "No problem."
"Hmm..." Thinking back again, Lan replied solemnly, "There is absolutely no problem, Dr. Cheng Shi is definitely a woman."
"That's good." Yamazaki said with a smile, "Then you go in, let's look again, and see if there are any new clues."
"Okay." Lan said before turning back and entering the village office.
Yamazaki asked: "Do you still doubt Dr. Chengshi now?"
"Yes," Conan said, "although I don't know why it's different from the score left by Mr. Aso. It may be someone else, but these three consecutive incidents are definitely done by Dr. Chengshi. Only Doctor Chengshi can do it."
Yamazaki asked again: "Do you have evidence? There is no evidence to show that these three consecutive incidents were done by Dr. Chengshi."
"There is no evidence now, but there will be," Conan said with a smile, "and, there is no need for evidence at all."
"Then you go," Yamazaki said with a smile, "I think that studio is not bad, you can talk while watching." Then he handed the file bag to Conan.
After taking the file bag, Conan ran into the village office. Yamazaki bowed slightly to the policeman and said, "Sorry, please wait a little longer."
"It's okay," Mr. Police said with a smile, "the moonlight is very good tonight."
When Yamazaki entered the village office, Conan and Mori were gone, and the Megure Police Department was talking to the four suspects, Mr. Hirata, Mr. Shimizu, Ms. Reiko, and Dr. Chengshi. ...
