Cheng Shi, who witnessed Conan's performance at the scene, said in admiration: "I am really surprised by Conan's reasoning!"

"Indeed, it's as if he's really a reliable detective." Wynette echoed.

Mao Lilan explained for Conan: "Because this child likes the simulated detective the most."

"But, his persuasive power is really powerful, everyone says so." Cheng Shi looked at Conan.

"No, I'm just imitating Uncle." Conan said pretendingly, "Because I've been watching him at work all the time."

If you really want to be praised again, maybe you will have some new conjectures!Conan felt troubled by Winnet behind him, but before he had time to think about it, a big hand was placed on top of his head, pressing him down like a retracting turtle.

Mori Kogoro bowed and stroked Conan's hair: "Compared to me, he is far behind!"

Winnet and Chengshi looked at each other and smiled.

"Then, we're going back to the hotel too," Kogoro said.

"Then, goodbye." Cheng Shi said goodbye, "However, please solve the murder as soon as possible, because I don't want to do autopsy anymore."

"No problem, as long as I handle things, it's very simple!" Kogoro laughed.

Winnet also discovered the pattern, as long as he is in front of "beauties", he will become tall and show off.

"Miss Winnet, I will return the handkerchief after washing it."

"Okay." Winnet smiled and waved goodbye to Xiaolan.

Well said!Conan murmured in his heart, feeling that there were still a lot of unresolved problems.He raised his head and suddenly saw a bright round moon.

The three of them haven't gone far——

Wait a moment!Conan had a horrible guess—in that letter, a shadow began to disappear—the meaning would not end here.

"Uncle! The phrase 'a shadow began to disappear' may be the murderer saying that there is more than one person to kill!"

……

228 Winnet's Craft

"What? There will be a sequel to this murderous drama?" Mori Kogoro was startled, "You mean this letter, are you foretelling that meaning?"

"The so-called shadow disappears, which means it is shrouded in light. The so-called light, I think, should refer to the song heard at the murder scene-the meaning of moonlight." Conan explained.

Hearing what Conan said, Mori Kogoro also remembered. "By the way, Mr. Aso played the piece in the flames 12 years ago, and the piece he played two years ago before the death of the former village chief... the pieces in it are all Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata " Moori Kogoro felt that he had grasped the key point, "And the three events that have happened so far, all of them are next to the piano."

In other words, the murderer is likely to continue to commit crimes at the piano!Or kill someone and move the corpse there!The prisoner may also return to the scene and do some manipulation.Mori Kogoro felt that this possibility was very high, so he started running without stopping. "You two go back to the hotel first!"

"Wait a minute!" Xiaolan shouted.

"Sister Xiaolan, let me see, let's go to the public hall together."

They arrived at the public hall and explained the situation to the old police officer on duty.Mori Kogoro insisted on keeping a vigil near the murder, thinking that this is a way to prevent the murder from happening again, and in addition, it can also protect the scene.

"Really, don't you think it's abnormal?" the old police officer complained. "It's true that you want to spend the night here with the corpse and bring a child."

Kogoro leaned on the piano and looked at the two with a very dissatisfied look: "Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

"Because Conan..."

Xiaolan didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Mori Kogoro looked at the body bag next to the chair and asked, "By the way, who is the person who moved the corpse casually?"

"Of course it's me." The old police officer explained, "If I keep maintaining that posture, even the Bodhisattva will feel pitiful."

"It's really nerve-wracking. It hasn't been verified on the spot yet." Mori Kogoro stroked his forehead.

Conan stepped on the piano chair, checked the cover of the piano, and found that the sheet music was missing.

"Strange, why is that sheet of music missing?"

"What!?" Mori Kogoro exclaimed.

The old police officer also panicked.He quickly took out the music paper stacked in his pocket, and stretched it flat: "I don't think the paper is missing, look."

There were more and more beads of sweat on Kogoro's face. He felt that the police officer was here to make trouble.

Xiaolan walked up to the old police officer and stared at the score, she recognized it: "Oh, this is the score of Moonlight."

"What?" Mori Kogoro turned around and looked over.

"Can I borrow it?"

"Okay."

Mao Lilan took the music score from the old police officer, put it in front of the piano, and played on the piano according to the score.When playing the fourth verse, the sound began to be confused and made a noisy sound.

"What are you doing?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"No," Xiaolan said, "it's the score of the fourth verse, which is very strange."

"The fourth paragraph?" Conan leaned over.

Mori Kogoro then commented: "If I'm not mistaken, this piece of music contains Mr. Kawashima's message."

"If this is the case, this score..." Maori held it in his hand, "the prisoner will probably come back and take it back."

At this time, the door of the room was knocked, and it was Dr. Chengshi who pushed the door open.Behind him was Winnet, the two of them were carrying bags and water bottles.

Cheng Shi pushed open the door: "Excuse me, I asked the hotel and I heard that you are still here."

"Doctor Cheng Shi, and Miss Winnet..."

"We brought you a midnight snack for you to eat."

Winnet followed suit with the bag in her hand.

This time, there was a burst of grunting sound.The trio around the piano finally realized that since arriving on the island in the morning, they hadn't had a meal and had already become hungry.

Conan and Mao Lilan turned into peas, looking embarrassed and embarrassed, Kogoro also clutched his stomach.Naturally, before going to bed, there was a food queue.Six people sat on the ground, making a style of outing or picnic with flowers.

Winnet helped untie the cloth bag, spread the cloth on the floor, opened the rice balls and side dishes and arranged them in place. Dr. Cheng Shi helped prepare the cups, and poured the brewed tea into the cups when he came back.

Then came the chat session.

Conan looked left and right, and his eyes finally stopped on Winnet's face: "It's strange, sister Winnet, that big sister didn't come together?"

"In her case, she has fallen asleep after taking the medicine. Although she still has some inconvenience in moving, the wound has healed and scabbed. It is no problem to do some simple things." Winnet said while thinking.

"So that's the case. By the way, Doctor Chengshi, why did you think of inviting Sister Winnet?"

"After I talked to Miss Pastor about the place of work, she expressed her interest, so we made an appointment to find a suitable time to visit and play on the island. Unexpectedly, something like this happened... "

That's why the meals are so rich.Conan looked at the beautiful and full bento box, and couldn't help but guess in his heart, who prepared these.

He glanced at Winnet...it shouldn't be possible, right?

"Are these the food prepared by the hotel? It's so exquisite!" Mao Lilan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of egg roll with perfect outline.

"No...Xiao Lan, guess who did it?" Dr. Cheng Shi shook his head mysteriously.

"Is it Doctor Chengshi?"

As soon as she asked, Xiaolan saw Chengshi's "I didn't guess" smile.Then, Xiao Lan looked at Winnet with an incredulous expression: "Could it be that Miss Winnet prepared these?"

Conan smiled awkwardly.

He guessed it early on, after all, which Japanese would put fish and chips in a bento box?And that sticky stuff in the soup box...

Mori Kogoro picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth: "What is this, it's so delicious!"

Winnett sat like an authentic Japanese, holding a teacup with both hands, and he replied, "It's turtle meat with fresh cream and sherry wine. This dish was a rare delicacy in the Victorian era!"

"No wonder there is a fragrance of wine!" Mori Kogoro exclaimed.

"It turns out that Miss Winnet is so good at cooking!" Mao Lilan was also surprised.

This made her feel a little ashamed of her "female power".There was not much age difference between them, but she couldn't compare with Winnet in terms of sewing or cooking.

Winnet didn't know what Mao Lilan was thinking.If she knew, she would feel embarrassed. After all, she has a lifetime of experience and only went to elementary school in a small town. The rest of the time is spent learning things from various people.Both cooking and sewing, the former is to get the approval of Sister Alyssa, and the latter is required for work.

Embroidered and sewn small gifts, like crosses made of flowers and plants, are best-selling handmade products.

However, Ms. Winnet thinks that most people will pay for it because they think she is cute.

After being able to see her true face, she gradually recognized this fact.

She was born really good-looking.

Conan felt that there were enough pitfalls. They actually ate Anglo-American and Japanese cuisine in this kind of place, relishing it next to the murder scene, but it was indeed delicious.

The more we get along, the more Conan feels a strange sense of disobedience in Winnett. She is young and versatile, and the external image she presents is too perfect-deliberately perfect.

"It's a hobby I honed in the countryside." Winnet changed the topic.

She has lived alone for a long time, and her cooking skills have not fallen.Because I sometimes fantasize about Shirley praising her craftsmanship, I usually try a little more.Thinking of this, her mood became hesitant.

"What about Dr. Chengshi, since Miss Winnett was invited in Tokyo, that means, do you often go back and forth to Tokyo?"

"Well, I was on the island two years ago."

"You are not from this island..."

"Yeah, on weekends, I usually go back to Tokyo, like a part-time doctor here. I've always wanted to be able to work on this small island surrounded by nature since before it was too bad. This is the second year."

When Mori Kogoro heard the time, he asked something he was very concerned about: "Doctor Chengshi, the cause of death of the former village chief Mr. Kameyama who died two years ago was really a heart attack?"

Kogoro suspects that the incident has something to do with this murderer.The Moonlight Sonata is like a symbol, connecting the bizarre events on the entire island together.

Chengshi recalled a little bit, and said: "Yes, the former village head had a bad heart from the beginning. He often visited my clinic, so I also know about his heart problem... He did die because of a heart attack, but……"

"but?"

"Well, his face was quite tense at the time, as if he saw something very frightening."

Fear?Conan followed up and asked: "By the way, did anything strange happen at that time?"

"Well, if you say that..." Cheng Shi was startled suddenly, "I remember that the window was open at that time."

The old police officer expressed his opinion: "I think at that time it should have evolved into not knowing who forgot to lock it up, it should be like this."

"Is that the window?" Kogoro gestured with his finger.

"That's right." Cheng Shi affirmed and walked to the edge of the window at the same time, turned his head to face everyone, "This is the window."

Everyone looked in Chengshi's direction, and under the illumination of the indoor lights, a dark figure appeared on the outer edge of the window.Kogoro immediately rushed to the window and opened it.Since it was the first floor, he planned to go straight down, but Conan was one step ahead.Conan ran and shouted: "Damn guy, don't try to escape!"

They chased for a distance, but the light coverage on the island was not high, and soon the other party disappeared. "Damn it, that's what I thought." Mori Kogoro pulled out the music score in his arms, "I came back to get this music score."

Conan felt that something was wrong.Because the music score is photocopied paper, it is more likely that it was prepared from the beginning, and the person who prepared this is most likely the real murderer.However, if this is the case, why did the murderer come back specifically, or is the person who escaped actually not the murderer?

Kogoro returned to the room and said, "Okay, I'll take turns staying here tonight, is that okay?"

"Okay!" Everyone answered in unison.

Although they were on duty in turn, the elderly police officer and Mori Kogoro soon fell asleep.And there are only women and children left, each worrying about whether the other can handle the situation, and the result is a sleepless night.

At ten o'clock the next morning, the police arrived.

The four briefly explained the situation to them, and went to bed first when they were too sleepy.Among them, Winnet only maintains a light sleep. Her rest efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people, and she only needs more than three hours to cope with the day. Although she will become tired if she keeps this situation for a long time, but occasionally, it will not Create too big of a problem.

She slept on the edge of both sides, quietly left the mattress, and saw the police who were investigating and Mori Kogoro who was still asleep.

Police officer Mumu, who was wearing an orange suit, saw her and said to her: "Miss, the investigation is still underway, and there will be an interrogation later in the evening. It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer."

"Well, I want to leave for a while and go to the clinic. I will come back during the interrogation." Winnet said.

"Uh, okay." Officer Mu Mu reluctantly agreed, thinking that you should come earlier.Then, he put his weight on Kogoro who was still soundly asleep, squatted down, and said on his upper back: "Hello, Mr. Maori, Mr. Maori."

Mori Kogoro opened his eyes in a daze, and saw the dazzlingly bright ceiling, but he was not fully awake yet.

"It's already noon." Police officer Mumu added another sentence. He began to hurt this Maori brother by calling him "Mr. Maori". He put girls and children on duty, but he was asleep. It's really off the line.

"Officer Megure!" Kogoro in the sleeping bag propped his left hand on the floor and got up with an unbelievable look, "Why are you here?"

"Because this island belongs to Tokyo." Megure explained helplessly.

"Oh, yes!" Kogoro realized it later, and then he went to the shirt pocket in his arms, and when he felt it was empty, he was very nervous.

Mu Mu reluctantly took out the music score again, and said, "Conan gave me the music score."

"Please explain what happened. Before we arrived, all four of them were awake, and the only ones sleeping were you and the old man. We are going to conduct an investigation at the village office, so you also come Do me a favor." Meguban ordered, then stood up.In his impression, Mori Kogoro behaved mediocrely when he was a policeman, but after becoming a detective, it was as if he was bent over by something unknown, and cases happened everywhere he went.

"Yes……"
