Kogoro wanted to look cool, but when he saw the female doctor's face, the flattering smile disappeared on its own for some reason.

"Yep."

Asai Narumi nodded blankly.

"Okay, I'm just asking."

"It's okay if you don't know."

Qin Zhibo would not point at someone's nose for no reason and say, "Fuck you, just call Aso Michiru?"

However, since the real name of this pseudonymous doctor is Aso Minoru, it is very likely that she is related to Aso Keiji on the commission letter.

It's even possible that he is the client who sent the letter!

However, the commission of this mission is not to find out who sent the letter, but to complete the commission in the letter.

Assuming that the murder notice letter was written by Aso, then his commission...

Shouldn't I be asked to help kill people?

...

After leaving the clinic, Qin Zhibo and the Maoli family continued towards the public hall.

However, Qin Zhibo and the Maori family have different purposes.

The Mori family went to ask someone who was friends with Keiji Aso.

Qin Zhibo wanted to ask Keiji Aso about his immediate family members who were not alive yet.

Like a son or something like that...

Arriving in front of the Citizens' Hall, I ignored the villagers' protest against the current village chief's tyrannical exercise of privileges and entered the Citizens' Hall directly.

The person who came to receive him was the secretary of the current village chief, named Ichiro Hirata.

Mouri Kogoro revealed that he was a detective from Tokyo, and Hirata left in a panic.

While waiting on the bench in the corridor of the public hall, Qin Zhibo, who was bored, opened a map in the public hall to see if there were any investigation points here.

At the end of the corridor, Qin Zhibo found a large room with only a piano.

Qin Zhibo walked in.

Conan noticed Qin Zhibo walking in and followed him.

Mao Lilan noticed Conan walking in and followed him.

Mouri Kogoro noticed his daughter walking in, so he followed her in.

Just like that, everyone started walking around the piano room.

Qin Zhibo didn't know much about the piano. He didn't have the skills to play the piano, so he didn't play around with it.

However, Mao Lilan felt itchy and wanted to play a few times.

However, at this moment, Secretary Hirata ran over in a panic.

"No, no! You can't touch that piano!"

"That piano belongs to Mr. Aso! It's a cursed piano!"

Regarding Hirata's warning, Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully: "No way, how can there be a curse in this world?"

"It's not just Mr. Aso..." Secretary Hirata's face was still nervous, "The former village chief Isamu Kameyama also died on this piano!"

"It happened three years ago..." Secretary Hirata lowered his head and fell into memories.

"It was a full moon night. I passed by the public hall where no one should be, but I heard the sound of a piano coming from inside."

"When I opened my mouth to check if anyone was there, the piano stopped immediately."

"When I walked inside, I found Mr. Kameyama collapsed on the piano!"

"The cause of death was a heart attack, and Mr. Aso kept playing the Moonlight Sonata in the flames..."

While Secretary Hirata was vividly telling the story of cursing the piano, Conan used his physical advantage to lift the cover of the piano while others were not paying attention, and typed "Stepped on the Cat".

"This piano is very ordinary..."

"Isn't there any difference at all?"

Conan's behavior scared Secretary Hirata into a cold sweat, and he quickly issued an eviction order.

"Anyway, please wait at the entrance before the ceremony ends!"

But when the door of the piano room is closed, a bright investigation point is quietly under the piano.

...

After coming out of the public hall, Qin Zhibo and Maoli's family could only wait in the parking lot next to the public hall.

Conan held his head and told what he had just discovered.

"The piano just now was so weird. It hasn't been used for several years, but the sound was normal."

"Has anyone tuned it?"

Conan's words seemed to be unintentional, but actually he wanted to see Qin Zhibo's reaction.

Maybe Qin Zhibo knows nothing about music and didn’t notice this at all?

As a result, after finishing speaking, Qin Zhibo did not respond at all to the interference option provided by Conan. He just stood in front and watched the villagers coming in and out of the public hall.

On the contrary, Xiaolan next to her looked unhappy.

"Could it be Mr. Aso's ghost who is tuning that piano..."

Regarding Xiaolan's conjecture, Conan smiled helplessly.

"Sister Xiaolan, in this scientific era, there are no such things as undead and ghosts."

"Right, Uncle Maoli? Uncle Qin?"

Conan wanted to use the words of his two uncles to help Xiaolan change her fear of evil spirits and heretics.

Mouri Kogoro nodded casually and agreed, "Well..."

Just when Conan turned his expectant eyes to Qin Zhibo, Qin Zhibo said something obscure.

"It may exist, it may not exist."

"Human beings live on a calm island of ignorance, in a vast and endless black ocean."

"This ocean is vast and contains endless secrets."

"And perhaps human beings should not sail too far and delve too deeply..."

After Qin Zhibo finished speaking, a big question mark appeared on the heads of Conan, Mao Lilan, and Mao Li Kogoro.

This passage...

What's the meaning?

Conan tried to understand it and felt that Qin Zhibo might have compared the earth to the island where humans live. Does the black ocean refer to the universe?

Does he mean to say that humans should not engage in space exploration?

As early as decades ago when the Apollo moon landing program was launched, there was a minority who believed that it was too early for humans to explore the universe and that it might bring disaster to human civilization.

But I just wanted to ask if there are ghosts in the world. How could this person think so deeply that he even thought of the meaning of human exploration of the universe?

However, from the tone of Qin Zhibo's words, Conan also heard that he did not seem to be a firm materialist.

As a detective...

How can this be done?

Detectives pay attention to using facts to speak and scientific evidence to prove crimes.

How can one become a good detective if he is not a staunch materialist?

...

In fact, Qin Zhibo didn't know why he suddenly said this sentence, or even where he knew it.

But at this moment, Qin Zhibo couldn't think too much.

Because at the entrance of the public hall, Qin Zhibo saw a familiar person walking in.

It was Narumi Asai wearing a tight black dress.

Or maybe it's Aso...

Judging from his attire, he was also going in to attend the ceremony marking the third anniversary of the death of the former village chief.

Transvestite + Conan, the conditions have been met.

I'm afraid he's going to kill someone today!

Qin Zhibo opened the electronic map on the navigator, analyzed the direction, and then walked in the direction where he could almost sneak into the public hall.

Seeing Qin Zhibo leaving suddenly, Mao Lilan also asked where Qin Zhibo was going.
