Chapter 26 The Piano Sonata "Moonlight" Murder (2)

On the left side of the entrance to the Citizen Hall is the conference hall, then the bathroom, on the right is a warehouse, then the stairs.

There was a room at the end of the aisle, but no one was in and out. So, curiously, Anakin opened the door and opened the door.

Looking inside, Anakin found that this was a big room, but there was only a piano inside, placed in the middle and right behind, and opposite it, there was a door on the right back of the room, which seemed to lead to the outside.

It's so slow...how long does it take for us to wait here?

Waiting on the bench outside the conference room door, Kogoro Mori was holding a cigarette in his mouth and whispering

Anakin jumped out of the chair and secretly pushed open a glass door on the right.

A black piano is placed in the huge room

It's the piano... Xiaolan couldn't help but walk over

At this time, Kogoro Mouri came over and said: What a big room Ah

As he said that, he walked in, then stood by the window on the right and looked at it, and then said, Oh, you can also go to the beach here.

Walking to the front of the piano, Xiaolan said: Ah, why is this piano so dirty? Ah Anakin said: Just clean it up a little

This way

Xiaolan said that, she wanted to open the cover and see if it could be used.

At this time, no, no touch

A man's voice sounded at the door, Xiaolan immediately stopped and looked at the door with the others.

A man in his thirties with glasses stood at the door and said in horror: This piano was played by Mr. Aso at the concert on the day of his death.

No, Kogoro Mouri asked, how could he be cursed?

The man said: It's not just Mr. Aso, the same thing happened to the former village chief

Kogoro Maori said: So, it's Mr. Kameyama who is doing this today

Yes, that happened two years ago. The man said, it was a full moon night. I happened to pass by the citizen hall nearby, where there should be no one in it, but the sound of a piano came from. When I asked who was there, the sound stopped immediately. When I walked inside, Mr. Kameyama was on the piano... The cause of death was because of a heart attack. The song he played until his death was the same as the song Mr. Aso kept playing in the flames. It was the sonata of moonlight. From then on, this piano was called the cursed piano without realizing it. It looked no different. Anakin said, and quickly lifted the cover, started playing, and then said, the tone was also very good. The man shouted hurriedly: Stop Ah, and then ran in and drove Anakin away, then put down the cover, and said to the three of them, please go out.

The three were kicked out of the room

After arriving outside the door, the door was closed, and the man said: In short, please don’t come here again. Detective Maori, before the ritual is over, the village chief has no time.

After saying that, he left

Ah, isn't that going very late? Kogoro Mori said helplessly

Anakin smiled and said: Maybe it will be pushed to tomorrow again

Xiaolan smiled and said: Isn’t this very good? You can just go sightseeing on the island.

As he said that, he pulled Kogoro Mouri and Anakin out.

As soon as the door opened, Dr. Asai, who was walking towards me, came over, wearing a black short skirt, and asked, "Huh? Why are you still here Ah?"

Xiaolan asked: Miss Chengshi, are you here to participate in the ritual?

Because I have experienced Mr. Guishan's body, that was the first time I did that kind of thing

Miss Chengshi said, so, I want to come and have a stick of incense

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and Miss Chengshi quickly introduced: This is Mr. Qingshui, the one we mentioned in the morning

When I met for the first time, I am Qingshui. Please give me some advice. Mr. Qingshui smiled and then said to Miss Chengshi, "It's almost time to start."

Looking back, seeing that there was no one else, Miss Chengshi immediately said: Then I will say goodbye

After that, he entered the citizen hall with Mr. Kiyomizu

Soon after, the sound of rituals rang

The full moon slowly soars into the sky, playing in the faint floating clouds... The whisper of the monk formation drifts out of the citizen hall with irregular wooden fish sounds

The Citizen Pavilion was designed as a spiritual room. In the middle of the lobby was a large photo of the previous village chief, Yuuchi Kameyama. There were many flowers and wreaths around it.

A large conference table covered with jute cloth, incense burner, candle, dark paper, scriptures, etc.

An old monk was concentrating on knocking on the wooden fish, reciting the scriptures to overcome the dead souls...

Hao, who sat on both sides, is a resident of the island. Among them, there is a thin young man with a stingy look. His name is Ximujian. He is an unemployed vagrant on the island. He is soaked in a wine jar all day long. Today, he is hiding outside the village office and stealing and spying on Maori and others.

Not all the people who kneeled down here came to worship Guishan devoutly, they each had their own purposes...

Hello! You guy is so despicable! Heiyan couldn't help but fire at Kawashima beside him

Huh? Kawashima looked at him for no reason

Seeing his calm expression, Heiyan became even more angry: You have a habit! He actually hired a detective to find out my bottom?

Hum! Whatever you think... Kawashima smiled contemptuously and stood up

You want to leave?! Black Rock's tone is so sharp

I just wanted to go to the bathroom... Kawashima didn't look back and slammed the door, leaving Kuroyao sitting there and holding his face turned purple

Suddenly, a melodious sound of familiar music filled the eardrums, and everyone in the mourning hall was shocked

Anakin, who was waiting outside the door, blurted out: This song is... "Moonlight"!!! Oh no, he ran

Kogoro Maori and Koran also stood up, and Koran shouted in surprise: Moonlight is Moonlight Song

The people in the mourning hall squeezed in front of the door and looked at each other: the sound seemed to be coming from the room where the piano was playing...

Anakin went in and was immediately surprised because there was nothing inside. No, the front cover of the three-angle piano was opened and the back cover was also supported.

I ran over and saw that there was a recorder behind the piano, and the sound came from there. Amid the melodious and charming piano sound, Kawashima was lying on the piano, his head pressed against the piano, his hands naturally erected to the ground, his body was wet, and his clothes were dirty and covered in mud and sand...

His little eyes widened, showing a sense of fear; his mouth opened and opened, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Kogoro Mori stepped forward to look at his breath, measured his heartbeat again, and shook his head helplessly: One step late... He has died

Everyone gasped: Why...how could this happen...

Xiaolan! Report the case to the police station quickly! Kogoro Maori decisively ordered that no one else present was allowed to leave!! Doctor Seki, please be responsible for the autopsy!

Yes!! Cheng Shi walked forward very cooperatively, that was the curse of the piano! It must be the cursed piano that started to make trouble again!! Hirata shouted in panic and retreated step by step

Kogoro Mouri disagreed: What a curse! Nonsense...

Hirata's voice trembled: But... no one is playing here, why is there still a piano sound... Anakin immediately took out the recorder from behind the piano and said: It's not the piano that makes the sound, but the recorder you can watch it yourself! The piano sound is released from this recorder... There is no curse or ghost! In other words, this incident should be linked to two deaths that have happened before, because these are three carefully planned murders!

At this time, the moonlight song of more than ten minutes is still playing

In front of everyone, Anakin pressed the shutdown button on the recorder and the music stopped immediately.

Kill, murder incident?!

People are making noise

Kogoro Maori said confidently: That's right! Mr. Eio Kawashima was killed...

Hello! Stop saying these useless beautiful words... I walked up on Monday, with deep warning, you have been talking nonsense since just now... Who are you?

Me? Kogoro Maori smiled and cleared his throat, with a proud face. I am the famous detective who came from Mihua... Kogoro Maori!!

Maori? Is it that space pilot?

Of course not! It's the protagonist of the detective novel...

No! The protagonist is Akichi Kogoro!

Then...who are you?

Everyone stared at Maori and talked a lot

Humph! Kogoro Mori was disappointed and ignored them

Seeing Kogoro Mouri looked like he was hit hard, Anakin asked: Does anyone know when Mr. Kawashima left the room?

A fat middle-aged man said: About twenty-five minutes ago

Seeing that the others stopped talking as soon as he spoke, Anakin asked: May I ask...

I am the village chief here, Tatsuji Heiyan

The middle-aged man introduced himself, and then introduced the people standing next to him, one of whom was his daughter, Ringko Heiyan.

One of them is the guy who drove people, his secretary, Kazuaki Hirata, and the one who was wearing gray clothes just now was Kuroi Iwai Reiko's fiancé, Shuimi Murazawa

At this time, Anakin, who had already checked the room, said: Judging from the locking of the door and windows, the first few minutes of the tape should be blank. I am afraid that the prisoner would take Mr. Kawashima to the beach, then come back to lock it, turn on the recorder, and then walk out of the room to the corridor.

Then he asked with a smile, is it Ah, Uncle Maori?

Yes, that's right

Kogoro Mori said, thinking to himself that this guy snatched it again...

Then he continued, if the door of this room was locked, because we didn't see anyone when we came here separately, so according to my judgment, the possibility of the prisoner returning to the courtroom is quite high...

Wait, Miss Lingzi immediately said, "You mean, the prisoner is among us."

That's right, if he hadn't gone out just now, Kogoro Maori said, and then asked, Kuroi Village Chief, can you be sure of that time?

He sat next to me, and village chief Heiyan said, "He said he wanted to go to the bathroom."

Kogoro Mouri asked: Did anyone see anyone who followed him out of his seat, or who had never been in the seat, or who often left his seat.

Humph, Mr. Murazawa said, how could anyone care about that kind of thing

Kogoro Maori asked again: So, if you ask Mr. Kawashima if he had offended someone?

It's not a question of offending, Kuroiwa Village Chief said, however, the happiest person after Mr. Kawashima's death is Mr. Kiyomizu, who is the same candidate as him.

What did you say? Mr. Kiyomizu, who was standing behind, immediately retorted, then, you are the same, the head of the village of Heiyan

It's Ah, right

Miss Reiko sarcastically said, if someone hadn't designed and arranged Mr. Kawashima's votes as his own, then my father would have been sure to be elected long ago.

What? Mr. Kiyomizu shouted immediately

Seeing that Miss Lingzi wanted to say something else, Mr. Hirata immediately stepped forward and persuaded: Miss

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately walked among them and said loudly, "Okay, calm down."

At this time, Anakin asked: But why does the prisoner have to play Moonlight? He can go back directly

While walking towards the piano, Kogoro Mori replied: That's because he wants to blame the murder on the piano curse.

Then he stood in front of the piano and turned around and asked, By the way, when will this piano start here?

Mr. Hirata said: It has been here since Mr. Aso donated fifteen years ago

Oh, Kogoro Mori said, it turned out to be that Mr. Aso

Yes, Mr. Hirata said, his name was also engraved on the lid of the keys.

Kogoro Mori immediately put down the lid of the keys when he heard this, which made a piece of paper reveal.

Maori said in surprise when he saw it, this is the music score.

Then I picked it up and looked at it, saying, "It's strange, I remember there was no such thing when I was watching it in the morning."

Ah! A man ran out in horror when he heard this

Who is that person? Kogoro Mori looked up and asked

Others are Nishimoto-sensei

Walking to Maori, Mr. Hirata said, "It was said that he was quite rich in the past. He invested a lot of money in wine, women and gambling. But since his ex-city village chief died two years ago, he seemed to be afraid of something and rarely went out."

Oh, Kogoro Mori said

By the way, Mr. Hirata said again, the village chief and he should be his childhood playmates.

Oh, the village chief of Heiyan smiled, it seems like this

At this time, a very old policeman came in and asked: What happened here? Who called me Ah?

Mr. Hirata introduced: It's this one, his name is Kogoro Mouri

The policeman immediately walked up to Kogoro Mouri, clapped his hands, and smiled happily: Wow, you are that famous person...

Yes, Kogoro Mori immediately replied

Pointing at Kogoro Mouri's nose, the policeman continued to laugh: Mr. Astronaut

Please, Kogoro Mouri said helplessly, you are wrong

Anakin stepped forward and told him the matter. The policeman said: Since that's the case, let them register their names and let them talk about the others tomorrow.

At this time, a village elder came over and handed over a roster to Kogoro Mouri and said: This is the roster of all those who came to participate in the ritual tonight.

Then he turned around and left, sighing, "This is not a murderer, it is clearly Mr. Aso's soul that is causing trouble."

Amitabha The monk who presided over the ritual said that, he turned around and left the room with the old villager. Other villagers also followed him out one after another.

Seeing the number of villagers standing in the middle and unable to leave, Miss Lingzi complained: It's true, that kind of piano that makes people scary, just set the torch and burn it as soon as possible?

Mr. Murazawa echoed: That's right, it might be better if that kind of piano is gone.

Village Chief Heiyan said: Okay, let's go too. As he said that, he took Miss Reiko, Mr. Murazawa and Mr. Hirata and followed the villagers and walked out of the room...
