Stay away from Conan.

After listening to the narration of several people, Kogoro couldn't help being very surprised, but at the same time extremely unbelievable, he asked Gao Yuan for proof:
"You said that you and Dr. Cheng Shi went out through the side door of this room and came to the beach behind the community room, right?"

"Ah."

Naturally, Gao Yuan also understood why Kogoro asked such a question, so he couldn't help but nodded.

After getting such an answer, Kogoro seemed a little unbelieving, and continued to ask:
"Then, when you passed by this piano room, there shouldn't be any corpses here, right?"

"Of course."

Gao Yuan nodded and said affirmatively:

"If there was a corpse here at that time, we should have found it long ago!"

——Yes, at that time, I waited in the corridor outside the room until Asai Chengmi came out of the ceremony, and then took the opportunity to prevent the other party from killing, and invited him to talk outside. Gao Yuan and Asai Chengmi passed the piano room in the corridor. Then go through the side door of the club room to the beach behind the club room.

As for this, Gao Yuan was sure that when he passed by the piano room, there was absolutely no dead body on the piano.

Moreover, the problem caused by such a situation is——

"When you came to the back of the activity room, there was no dead body in the piano room. In other words, the dead body was put on the piano after you went to the beach outside the house to chat. At that time, the two of you It’s so close at hand, just a wall away from the crime scene, so you didn’t notice anything?”

Kogoro looked very dignified, so he couldn't help asking.

After hearing such an inquiry, Gao Yuan also felt very troublesome and nodded, and at the same time Asai Chengshi couldn't help but replied "yes" in a daze.

So far, in this matter, a point of great concern is about to come out——

"If this is the case, how did the murderer kill the dead here without making a sound? Moreover, since the murderer also played "Moonlight" on a tape recorder, anyway, the two of you should pay attention immediately There are traces of the murderer in the room..."

Kogoro kept touching his chin, and said solemnly in a very puzzled manner.

"Because of the "Moonlight" tape left at the scene, several minutes of blank parts were intentionally left at the beginning..."

While Kogoro was thinking about it, Conan had already taken the tape recorder from Takato, put it on the ground, pressed the button on it, and confirmed the status of the tape——

"This kid..."

With a speechless face, he watched Conan just fiddle with the tape recorder, but seeing that he did fiddle with something, Kogoro temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​bringing Conan to the scene.

"And not only that!"

After confirming the situation of the tape recorder, Conan continued:
"Although I don't know what method the murderer used to put the body in this piano room without attracting the attention of Brother Zhizhi and Sister Chengshi. However, one thing is certain is that the murderer is at least in the hands of Brother Zhizhi and the others. I only brought the corpse here when I was at the beach. At that time, I was just outside the side door of this room, and I didn’t see anyone coming out of the side door at all...

"I think the murderer should have killed the deceased somewhere else while the ceremony was in progress, and then moved the body to this room, and then escaped from the corridor after the scene was arranged..."

After some serious analysis, after Conan said this, he couldn't help showing an innocent smile, and said to Kogoro:
"Uncle, am I right in making this judgment?"

"Ah... this... seems to be right..."

Listening to Conan's analysis, Kogoro hesitated for a moment, then said involuntarily:

"If you kid didn't see someone leaving from the side door of this room, you have to go out through the main door. But, until just now, we were still staying at the door of the activity center..."

Thinking in this way, Kogoro dragged his chin with his hand, his expression became more dignified.

"Although the window of this room near the sea is not locked, it is theoretically possible to leave through the window, but Dr. Asai and I were on the side near the sea at the time, so it is also impossible for the murderer to jump out of the window... "

In this regard, Gao Yuan could not help but add:
"So, at that time, this room... no, it should be said that it was the entire community activity center, and it was under the surveillance of our three parties... It was an out-and-out surveillance-type secret room!"

"Although all the exits leading to the outside world are not locked, since there are people at each exit, it is impossible for someone to leave this room without being discovered by us... Therefore, the murderer came out of this room and then returned. There is a high possibility of the ceremony venue..."

Regarding the current situation, Kogoro couldn't help but analyze in this way, and at the same time, he couldn't help looking at the crowd behind him——

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Regarding this, when the villagers present heard Kogoro's words, Reiko Heiyan couldn't help it at first, and asked in surprise:
"what do you mean……"

Saying so, Kuroiwa Reiko also looked around the villagers in a panic, and couldn't help saying the meaning behind what Kogoro said——

"The murderer may be among these people?"

Hearing this, everyone present showed surprised and solemn expressions, feeling the urgency of the situation.

"Yes...if the murderer didn't take advantage of the chaos and escape..."

Kogoro had sorted out the current situation, so he couldn't help looking at the crowd in front of him seriously, and began to ask:

"Does any of you know the deceased, or has anyone seen the deceased leave the ceremony during the ceremony?"

"Didn't notice..."

"Has he come to attend the ceremony?"

"It seems to be here?"

Listening to Kogoro's inquiry, the villagers present were whispering to each other, but no one seemed to have noticed when the deceased Ken Nishimoto left the funeral ceremony——

"Then is there any suspicious person who has left the ceremony?"

Listening to the chattering discussions of the villagers, Kogoro felt a little headache, so he couldn't help asking another question.

Hearing this question, the current village chief Heiyan Tatsuji couldn't help saying:

"Ah... I saw this..."

Saying so, Kuroiwa Tatsuji couldn't help looking at Hideo Kawashima, and said in a strange way: ...

"I saw Kawashima going out!"

"What! You..."

Hearing that Kuroiwa Tatsuji confessed himself at such a time, Kawashima Hideo couldn't help saying angrily to Kuroiwa Tatsuji, then looked at Kogoro, and quickly explained:
"I just went to the bathroom and went back right away! Doctor Cheng Shi can prove this!"

Saying so, Hideo Kawashima couldn't help but look at Narumi Asai who was beside him——

"After I went out to use the bathroom, Dr. Cheng Shi came out. She can prove that... ah! Yes! You just said that the murderer did it after Dr. Cheng Shi and the others went out, and since I am in Doctor Cheng Shi The one who came out before, naturally there is no suspicion, right!"

A little nervous, Hideo Kawashima wiped the cold sweat from his face, and quickly analyzed.

In this regard, Kogoro couldn't help looking at Narumi Asai, and after seeing Narumi Asai nodding, he confirmed to Kuroiwa Tatsuji who said that Hideo Kawashima had gone out:
"Did he come back as soon as he went out?"

"Ah... yes."

Hearing this, Heiyan Tatsuji could only answer truthfully.

So, after listening to the statements of these two people, Gao Yuan on the side couldn't help saying:

"Since this is the case, it is indeed impossible to transport the deceased to the piano room under such circumstances...By the way, does the deceased have any enemies here?"

"Yes! That's right!"

Hearing Gao Yuan ask this, Kogoro couldn't help asking:

"Do you know the deceased? Does he have any enemies on this island? Anyway, it has been confirmed that the murderer is a guest who participated in today's ceremony. Next, we only need to confirm who among them has hatred against the deceased..."

"Uh...this..."

Faced with Kogoro's analysis, the villagers present all seemed a little emotional, and among them, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary Hirata Kazuaki explained with some trepidation:

"If you want to say, Mr. Nishimoto's enemies on the island...maybe most of them are against him..."

"Huh? Why?"

Hearing this, Kogoro asked suspiciously.

"I heard that he was not only a high-ranking person on the island, but also invested a lot of money in wine, women and gambling, so this also made him have a lot of troubles on the island. However, since the two After Kameyama-san died a year ago, he hid at home all day as if he was frightened by something."

Hirata Kazuaki explained.

"Since the incident two years ago..."

In this regard, Kogoro couldn't help feeling that there might be something to do with it.

"By the way, aren't you and Mr. Nishimoto childhood playmates, village chief?"

At this time, Hirata Kazuaki who seemed to have remembered something suddenly asked Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

"what……"

Heiyan Tatsuji was a little surprised when asked such a question, and then he just said helplessly:
"That's right... However, I haven't had any interaction with him for many years."

"Is that so..."

In this regard, Kogoro could only say so helplessly.

As for this, after listening to this, Conan looked at the piano in the room and couldn't help but wonder:

"However, did the deceased hide at home all day after the incident two years ago? Could this be related to the incident two years ago? Moreover, under such circumstances, why did the murderer have to move the corpse to this room? Are you not afraid of being discovered by the wise brothers outside the window?"...

"Hmph! What's so difficult about this? The murderer wanted to create the illusion of killing people with a piano curse, so as to disturb people's hearts."

Listening to Conan's words, Kogoro said impatiently, but looking at the piano in front of him, thinking that since the two incidents were related to this piano, he couldn't help but ask:
"When was this piano placed here?"

"It has been here since Mr. Aso donated it to the community activity center 15 years ago."

Hirata Kazuaki replied.

"Mr. Aso donated it?"

Hearing this, Kogoro couldn't help but become serious.

"Yes, his name is still engraved on the piano cover."

Hirata Kazuaki said.

So, after hearing this answer, Kogoro couldn't help but put down the lifted piano cover, wanting to see if the name was engraved on it as Hirata Kazuaki said.

However, as the piano cover was lowered, a sheet of music that was originally covered by the piano cover could not help appearing in front of everyone——

"Music score?"

Seeing this, Kogoro picked it up with a solemn expression, and then said doubtfully:
"It's so strange, I didn't see this when I came here during the day..."

In this regard, just as Kogoro and Conan's attention was attracted by the music score that appeared, Gao Yuan's eyes couldn't help but look at Naruto Asai at the side first. After the music score was discovered, Narumi Asai's expression changed. It became a little ugly and seemed very nervous.

At the same time, Gao Yuan also noticed that other villagers present seemed to be frightened by the music score that appeared...

"Dad, Dad! I brought Mr. Police!"

However, at this moment, out of breath, Xiaolan suddenly rushed in from the door.

She was very struggling to support an old, gray-bearded old policeman to the scene, and she couldn't help but gasped and said, it seemed that she had helped the old policeman all the way here.

And this old policeman also seemed to be struggling because of running around all the way.

"Why are you so slow?"

Seeing that Xiaolan just came back at this time, Kogoro couldn't help asking.

"Because the phone couldn't get through, I had to go out and find the police by myself."

Xiaolan seemed to have finally completed the task, bent over and began to sigh in relief.

In this regard, with the arrival of the police, after figuring out the current situation, the only policeman on the island can only helplessly express that the police force on the island is unable to handle such a situation and must report to the higher authorities, who will send Special criminal police come over.

Therefore, right now, there is no other way than to protect the scene, and there is no way to forcibly question such a person present, so——

"Because it's very late now, it's impossible to interrogate one by one. So please go home and rest first, and be careful at the door!"

Standing at the gate of the community activity center, the old policeman instructed the villagers present, and then told everyone to go home first.

"This shouldn't be a homicide."

"Mr. Aso's soul must be at work!"

"Amitabha! Amitabha!"

As the crowd dispersed, many of the villagers also commented on this incident. …

As for this, Kuroiwa Reiko couldn't help being angry when he heard such a conversation:
"That hideous piano, just throw it away!"

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Murasawa Monday, who was beside Reiko Kuroiwa, couldn't help but sneered:
"Yes! It's best to throw away that piano as soon as possible, so that you won't be upset after seeing it."

As he said that, Murasawa quickened his pace on Monday and walked forward alone.

"Zhou, Monday... just wait for me!"

Reiko Heiyan seemed a little frightened by this, and hurriedly chased after him.

On the other side, Hirata Kazuaki, who is the secretary of the village chief, looked at the back of Murasawa Monday with a gloomy expression after listening to Murazawa Monday's words...

……

At the same time, since the support from the superior police will not return until tomorrow at least, Kogoro and the others can only go back to the hotel to rest.

However, at this time, Gao Yuan did not go to the hotel with Kogoro and others immediately.

After the crowd dispersed, Takato, Narumi Asai, Reito Jinguji, and Conan, who was looking for an excuse to leave Xiaolan's side temporarily, were gathering at the beach not far from the community activity center— —

"Now that things have happened, I will make a long story short..."

When I was in the community activity center just now, it was inconvenient to talk about many things, so Gao Yuan could only take advantage of the present to discuss many situations with the few people at present:

"Doctor Asai... I want to ask, do you know that there are still people on the island who know your secret?"

"Ah! What?"

Hearing this, Naruto Asai's expression became very ugly, and he didn't understand Gao Yuan's meaning.

And Gao Yuan didn't beat around the bush, but said straightforwardly:
"Then I'll just say... the tape recorder playing "Moonlight" and the score on the piano. If you're right, it's something you prepared in advance to kill people! Now, obviously, you're going to These things have been used by people!"
