9, Moon Shadow Island Murder Case (2)
"So that's it, Koran!" Suzuki Kai said softly: "It turned out that it was because a week ago, Uncle Maori received a letter from Keiji Aso who had been dead on Tsukikawa Island for 12 years, and 500,000 had been transferred to Uncle Maori's account in advance."
"The letter says: On the next full moon night, shadows will begin to disappear on Moon Shadow Island again. Please investigate the reason. Keiji Aso."
"Then two days before the full moon, Keiji Aso called and urged you to come. After climbing the island, when it was dark, you discovered that Mr. Kawashima was drowned and moved to the piano room of the citizen hall."
"Then Conan, have you found anything?" After listening to Conan and Xiaolan's talk, Suzuki Kei finally asked Conan: "Let's go, let's go to the citizen hall at the murder scene first, and talk while walking on the road."
Conan touched his chin and frowned, "If you want to find anything, it's the music score."
"Score?" Suzuki Kai said in confusion: "What's wrong with the score?"
Xiaolan held Conan's hand and said, "Brother Qi, that is the fourth section of Beethoven's sonata Moonlight, but that piece of music is weird. I tried to play it yesterday, and it always felt a bit strange."
Just as Suzuki and the others were talking, they had already arrived at the piano room for the murder. After all, the place where Conan and the others slept at night was the citizen hall, but they were not in the same room as the corpse. It was enough for Suzuki and the others to tell the matter one by one, so what else could be done?
Suzuki Kai lifted the cloth covering the body, and Xiaolan secretly closed her eyes and did not look at the terrifying appearance of the corpse. Suzuki Kai first looked at the entire body, then reached out to touch the back of the corpse's head. Then Suzuki Kai looked at the only piano in the room and said, "Did the body beside this piano at that time?"
"Yes!" Seeing Conan and Xiaolan nodding, Suzuki Kai walked around the piano, then knocked on the piano cover, and seemed to have discovered something. Then, he opened the piano cover, Suzuki Kai found a secret door without hesitation, and then took out a few transparent bags wrapped in white powder from it.
When Conan saw the few transparent bags that Suzuki took out from the piano, he was shocked and said stutteringly: "What is that? Could it be..."
Xiaolan heard Conan suddenly become stuttering and asked strangely: "Conan, what is this? Why do you become stuttering all of a sudden? Isn't this just some white powder? Is there anything strange?"
Kei Suzuki reached out to stop Conan and said, "Xiaolan, you don't need to ask, go and call the police from the forensic department to come over."
After being told by Suzuki Kiyo, Xiaolan certainly knew that what Suzuki Keyo had just touched out of the piano was not a good thing. Otherwise, Suzuki Keyo would not have told her. After Suzuki left, Suzuki Keyo thought to Conan and asked: "Did you find something yesterday? You checked it for a night and didn't find anything, right?"
Conan rolled his eyes and said, "No! But yesterday when we wanted to touch the piano, the village chief secretary Kazuaki Hirata hurriedly stopped us and said the piano was cursed and the like. Now it seems that the secretary Hirata knew the secret of the piano, so he stopped us from touching the piano and prevented us from discovering the poison inside."
After Suzuki Kei said "Oh", he said nothing and left with Conan. After Suzuki Kei came out of the room, he found that Police Officer Meguri had gathered several suspects. Kogoro Maori was introducing several suspects to Police Officer Meguri: "The young lady is the daughter of the village chief, Miss Kuroi Iwara Reiko, and the one who hugged her was her fiancé, Murazawa Chuchi, who was sitting with the village chief candidate Masato Shimizu. The other was looking at the watch, Kazuaki Hirata, the secretary of the village chief. The one who had just left was Dr. Asai Naiki, the doctor in the village, and the six Nishimoto Ken was being questioned."
After Suzuki Kei came in, Officer Meguchi turned around and asked Suzuki Kei, "Brother Suzuki, have you found anything?"
Suzuki Kai leaned into Officer Megumi's ear and said, "The few people in the room seem to have never killed anyone. In the piano inside, I found many drugs. I think there must be people in this village. Moreover, when Conan and Xiaolan wanted to contact the piano yesterday, the village chief secretary Mr. Hirata immediately stopped them. It seems that Mr. Hirata knows very clearly about drugs. Even if he has not participated in drug trafficking, it is definitely true."
"Drugs?" Officer Meguchi looked at Kazua Hirata who was often looking at his watch at this time, saying, "If you say this, then this person is very suspicious?"
Suzuki Kai shook his head and said, "Although I really want to say this, I did not notice the murderous aura that was unique to killing people from him. So I don't think he killed the murderer of the deceased, but he is very likely to have had an argument before the deceased died, because I found a wound that had been attacked on the back of the deceased. I think it should be that he and the deceased knocked the deceased out after the deceased had a dispute, but someone threw the deceased into the sea and drowned after the deceased fainted. If he had the strength to throw a person from the house to the ocean, the murderer must be a man."
"Is it a man?" Officer Megumi touched his chin again and said, "If this is the case, then Dr. Asai will be ruled out? In that case, we can further narrow the scope of the suspect."
At this time, Suzuki Kai thought to Officer Memu and asked: "Official Memu, how did you confirm that the suspect is among these people?"
"Oh!" Officer Meguri said casually: "That was told by Brother Maori. He said that during the time when Mr. Kawashima died yesterday, everyone else was in the mourning hall, and only these few people were not there."
Hearing Officer Meguri say this, Suzuki Kai looked at the people at the scene and said, "Where is that Dr. Asai? Why didn't I see it?"
Officer Meguchi said: "She was here just now. She just said she wanted to wash her face and went out."
"She?" asked Suzuki Kai: "Is this Dr. Asai a woman?"
Officer Meguchi nodded and then watched Ken Nishimoto who was being questioned with Kei Suzuki. After a while, a man in purple women's clothing came in. After Kei Suzuki looked back, he looked like Officer Meguchi asked, "Officer Meguchi, is this what you meant by Doctor Asai?"
"Yes!" Officer Meguru sensitively noticed the difference in Suzuki Kai's tone and said, "Does she have any problems?"
Suzuki Kai nodded and said, "You said he is a woman? But he is obviously a man!"
Officer Memu was immediately surprised and turned his head to look at Doctor Asai. The people behind him heard Officer Memu's voice and turned to look at Officer Memu.
