Chapter 646 For justice on the island

"what?"

Hearing this, when he learned that Kogoro already knew the truth about Kuroiwa Tatsuji's death, and had obtained the evidence, Police Officer Mumu was stunned, and couldn't help saying in surprise:
"What you said is true! Brother Maori!"

"That's right!"

Kogoro said in a very serious voice:
"I have already understood, what is the real crime logic behind the series of events committed by the murderer!"

"Brother Maori, what's going on?"

Regarding this, Police Officer Meguro asked eagerly.

And Kogoro's voice began to explain slowly:

"The truth of all these events can be traced back to 12 years ago when Keiji Aso was buried in a sea of ​​flames. And when it comes to this matter, I have to mention the deal that has existed on the island for a long time... "

At the beginning, he was just talking lightly, but suddenly, Kogoro's voice suddenly shouted:
"Mr. Hirata!"

Suddenly, following Kogoro's voice calling out this name, Hirata Kazuaki who was present couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, with a panicked look on his face, and he was at a loss for what to do——

"Mr. Hirata, I think after you became Mr. Kuroiwa's secretary, you were helping Mr. Kuroiwa take over that deal, right?"

Kogoro's voice was serious and unquestionable, and he said this, which made Hirata Kazuaki, who had already understood the meaning of Kogoro's words, start to bow his head with guilt.

At the same time, Police Officer Megure already knew what the hidden deal on this island was, but he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard Kogoro confessing the truth here in front of so many people——

However, Police Officer Megure didn't do much to stop this, thinking that since Kogoro chose to confess at this moment, the truth of all this must come to light with his subsequent reasoning.

Moreover, the police and the people from the Narcotics Control Department have already laid a net here. Once the truth is revealed, there is absolutely no room for the suspect to escape!
Confidently, Officer Megure thought so, and then waited for Kogoro to continue talking——

"Mr. Hirata and Mr. Kawashima, the second person who died last night, were doing business in the room where the piano was placed!"

"Illegal Drugs!"

Hearing this word, among the people present, except for everyone who had already known about it, only Murasawa Monday and Kuroiwa Reiko yelled out the word with horror on their faces, completely unaware of what was going on— —

"The method of the transaction should be that Mr. Hirata put the prohibited drugs smuggled and imported from abroad into the hidden opening of the piano, and then Mr. Kawashima took out the prohibited drugs from there and put the money in. Therefore, Mr. Take it out afterwards to complete the transaction..."

Slowly, borrowing the news from the old policeman, Conan reasoned in Kogoro's voice in the radio room.

Regarding this, the old policeman who was also downstairs with everyone at this time couldn't help touching his chin, muttering in thought:
"So that's why...the two of them often meet at the community activity center, that's why..."

"Mr. Hirata spread the rumor of the 'cursed piano' so that the villagers did not dare to approach the piano. Naturally, no one would discover that there was a hidden opening under the piano for storing prohibited drugs. Therefore, in Nishimoto After Mr. died, someone would want to return to the scene to take away the illegal drugs that were still hidden in the piano, which would seem to be a normal thing..."

Kogoro said lightly.

"kindness……"

In this regard, Police Officer Megure couldn't help but nodded, and looked at Hirata Kazuaki who was already terrified because Kogoro pointed out that he was involved in illegal drug smuggling, and then——

"Ok?"

All of a sudden, Police Officer Mu Mu suddenly found that what Kogoro said just now was a bit strange——

"What do you mean 'it will look normal'?"

"It's literally."

After Police Officer Megure asked this question suspiciously, Kogoro's voice answered:
"After the murderer chooses to use an excessive amount of prohibited drugs to kill Mr. Nishimoto, it will be a matter of time before the police will find out that there is a trade in prohibited drugs on the island in the follow-up investigation... So, from the very beginning, the murderer wanted the police to Know the facts about the illegal drug trade that exists on this island!"

"What! The murderer wants the police to know the fact that there is a trade in illegal drugs on the island... Brother Maori, what is going on? You have confused me!"

Officer Megure only felt that what Kogoro said was too unexpected, so he couldn't help asking.

In this regard, Kogoro's voice began to explain:
"To be more precise, the murderer wanted us to think about what happened on the island in the past two days to the truth about Keiji Aso's death that year. That's why he made this arrangement...whether it's the illegal drugs used to kill Nishimoto, or death. The "Moonlight" sounded at the scene all hinted that the police should investigate the truth of Keiji Aso's death 12 years ago!"

"What do you mean?"

Still don't quite understand, Police Officer Megure couldn't help asking.

"To put it simply...the murderer set up doubts in order to kill these three people and also to get rid of his own suspicion. Let us think about the truth of the incident in terms of 'someone wants to avenge Keiji Aso'."

Kogoro's voice seriously explained:

"In the beginning, Mr. Nishimoto was killed with prohibited drugs, and then while we were on vigil at the scene, we pretended to be a dark shadow who wanted to have an attempt on the scene, so that we could realize what was there. In this way, When we found hidden prohibited drugs in the piano on site, we would naturally realize that someone on the island was using that piano to trade prohibited drugs.

"Then, as the second movement of "Moonlight" sounded for the second time, we who were attracted to the office, and when we found the drowned body of Mr. Kawashima, we would naturally think that Mr. Kawashima had made an attempt on the scene at that time. The dark shadow of the man, and what he is trying to do is the illegal drugs hidden in the piano...

"In this regard, due to the 'banned drugs' and the sound of "Moonlight" twice, then normally, as detectives, we will naturally start to trace the truth about the death of Keiji Aso 12 years ago. In this way, It is expected that we will discover the sheet of music that Mr. Aso left behind before his death..."

Saying so, Kogoro's voice gradually became serious——

"From the perspective of the murderer, we as detectives should reason in this way, and as we find the music score left by Keiji Aso in the fire, we can learn the truth of his death by interpreting the code above, and it can also be obtained by So we know who is involved in the smuggling of prohibited drugs on the island... And the most important thing is that when we learn that Aso still has a man named 'Se Ji' alive through the music score, it will be natural He thinks that what happened on the island is a case committed by 'Chengshi' in revenge for his father...

"That's right... The reason why we feel that what happened is very strange is because we did not reason according to the steps prescribed by the murderer. We knew the existence of 'Chengshi' from the very beginning, and from the very beginning We knew from the beginning that 'Cheng Shi' was not the murderer, so the murderer's plan to put all the crimes on 'Cheng Shi' was untenable from the very beginning! And it is precisely because of this that our investigation has come to a deadlock...

"And now, with Mr. Heiyan's death, after the real murderer is about to be revealed, I finally determined this—for the sake of justice on the island, who is the murderer who killed the three sinners who smuggled prohibited drugs on the island! "

With a solemn tone, Kogoro's voice said...
