229 Deciphering the Code

With Renata still hiding in the clinic, Winnet decides to say hello to her.

It was still dark, and there were not many things in the small town that could obstruct the view, and there were no high-rise buildings like the city. In terms of sniping, it was an absolutely poor environment.Setting up a sniper rifle in such an environment is much better than holding a handkerchief against a suppressed pistol, waiting for the target to appear in a certain corner, and quickly leaving after a hit.Residents on the island are very vigilant against outsiders, and it is easy to overturn if they conduct suspicious actions while the police arrive.

During the chat last night, Winnet was lucky enough to learn that there was a foreigner on board the boat carrying Conan and the others. Presumably, this was the person chasing Renata, and the target was determined to be injured, so the vigilance began to relax.In the small town to find the target heavy.She estimated that on her way to and from the public hall, the other party had confirmed her location.

The color of the hair, the inconspicuous height difference, and the characteristics of Europeans are all factors that cause the opponent to misjudge.And Renata has changed all the obvious features through her disguise, and the target of the pursuer will be shifted and transferred to her.

When Winnet returned to the clinic, she felt something was wrong when she entered the clinic. The furnishings in the clinic had changed, and the professional ethics of the killer made her extremely sensitive to the environment.Whenever she arrives at a new place, the first thing she does is to check every corner and remember the arrangement of furnishings and things. This habit helps her judge from extremely subtle factors.

"Didn't you go inside..."

Or, do you not want to be alerted, witnessed, or killed innocent people?

In Winnett's impression, the intelligence organization is not a good match.In the early years, it was common for them to execute their targets, which was far more decisive than that of the organization.

Maybe it's peace that makes them weak, or maybe it's something unique to the world.Winnet was not surprised. She came to the back of the clinic, the room where Dr. Cheng Shi usually lived, and knocked on the door according to the negotiated signal. Two or three seconds later, Renata opened the door.Renata wanted to hug Winnet, but the latter was very puzzled.

"The time is urgent." Winnet didn't make unnecessary explanations, she directly took out the makeup utensils in the luggage.This time, she only needs to do a little hair treatment, and for the rest, she uses herself as a reference template to dress up Renata.

Due to their bloodlines and similar external features, the process of makeup went smoothly. Although some differences can be seen in more detailed areas, Winnet has always worn loose clothes, and it is difficult for people who communicate with her to treat her well. There are body specifics—she never wears slim-fitting clothes.

Renata stared wide-eyed, looking at herself in the mirror full of extremely complicated emotions, she couldn't practice getting along with her sister in front of the mirror, she asked with complicated emotions: "I don't know you well enough now, I'm not sure if Can successfully play this image. According to you, that person is a famous detective from this country, can you really hide it?"

Maori Kogoro?His level looks very ordinary to Winnett, at least before the deep sleep, but she has never seen him after the deep sleep, maybe like Popeye after eating spinach-sudden inspiration also said indefinite.

"It doesn't matter, because you, like them, don't understand me at all." Winnet looked at Renata in the mirror, and felt that there was no obvious problem.She took out a note, on which was written what happened on Moon Shadow Island. The plan was discussed in advance. She didn't think that Renata, who had been a spy, would stumble like a student who was forced to give a speech.

"Okay, you have to be careful." Renata said, grabbing Winnet's arm.

But her hand was quickly freed.Although Winnet's attitude was a bit relaxed, Renata could still feel the estrangement in contact, and Grenache, the member of the organization who could get along in danger, was helpless with blood relatives.If you don't take the initiative, wouldn't it be like this for the rest of your life?Renata decided to play Winnet well, gain her approval, and gradually mend the relationship between the two.

Winette asked Renata to go out in her identity and go to the village house, where she was questioned by the police.

At this time, Winnet was dressed as a rough man.The general impression heard from Xiaolan and Conan is that the other party is a big man with a music box on his back.Winnet was sure there was a gun in it, but she didn't know when the other party was going to do it.

If you are confident in your shooting ability and seek safety, the possibility of doing it directly on the island is very low.

Due to the existence of the police, once a sniper gun is used to kill someone, the entire island will be blocked.As outsiders, men from other countries are the primary suspects. I am afraid that the other party did not expect that there will be many police officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on this small island.

"Take advantage of it for now."

Winnet made up her mind about dressing up as a man of similar physique, made padding in the clothes and cloak, and checked the gun to a certain extent by the way, and then she began to wait for the dark.

……

Renata's disguised Winnet came to the villager's house, and the clock was approaching six o'clock at this time.After she arrived, she saw Cheng Shi sitting on the seat with the girls and children from the detective trio, stretching lazily and breathing in front of the waiting table not far from the entrance.

After seeing Winnet, Mao Lilan said hello: "Miss Winnet, I think you are so energetic."

Trying to be as graceful as possible, Renata replied with a smile, "Well, because I sleep very efficiently, but I seem to have a bit of a cold."

"It's okay?" Cheng Shi took the initiative to come to her side, and gently touched his forehead, "Well, there is no fever."

Conan rubbed his face, but didn't think there was anything wrong.To be honest, no matter how healthy a person is, sleeping on such a floor can still get sick—that kind of place is not suitable for sleeping at all.

"Well, I've already gone back to the clinic. I took some medicine myself, Dr. Chengshi, you don't mind?"

"Haha, of course."

At this time, Kogoro Mori came over.Seeing Kogoro, Mao Lilan felt that there must be some progress, so she asked, "Dad, how is it? Do you know who the prisoner is?"

"Don't be stupid, there are 38 related parties who came to participate in the ceremony, and it is impossible to end it so easily." Kogoro was worrying about how to find the murderer. Judging from the current situation, there is no one at all. There is a way to lock the suspect within a certain range. During this period, this dangerous murderer is likely to strike again as Conan said, and he feels very distressed.What's more, I don't know what the hidden message is in that piece of music, and it's really uncomfortable to be looked at by Officer Megure's expectant eyes.

"Well, what's our order?" Cheng pointed his index finger at himself, his face was still sleepy, and his eyes seemed a little hard to open.

Kogoro came over embarrassingly, and said to Chengshi with an apologetic expression: "Ah yes, although I know you are really tired, but you are at the bottom of the queue. If Miss Winnett, you don't have to participate, because When the incident happened, you and we were talking at the door."

"Then, before the interrogation, I'll go wash my face first." Chengshi covered his cheeks, put his hands flat on his waist, and walked away at a slightly duck-like pace, while Renata waited in place.

Following the question just now, Conan asked: "By the way, how many people are left to go in for interrogation?"

"Including Dr. Naruto, the village chief's daughter Kuroiwa Reiko and her fiancé Murasawa Monday, the candidate Shimizu Masato, the village chief's secretary Hirata Kazuaki, and Nishimoto Ken who is currently under investigation, these six people .But Ken Nishimoto is quite time-consuming, and he hesitates and hesitates when asked about anything. According to my intuition, the prisoner is likely to be this person."

The interrogation is still going on, and they can only continue to wait.Ken Nishimoto couldn't find out what was going on, so he had to change to Ms. Kuroiwa Reiko, but she was dissatisfied with the police officer's way of questioning, and continued to protest and roar, which caused the interrogation time to be prolonged again.The time has come to dusk.

Conan stared down the hall.

The interrogation of Ken Nishimoto was over, but he did not leave the village house, but kept looking at his watch, as if he was waiting for someone, which made Conan very concerned. In the next second, Ken Nishimoto left his original position and walked to Inside the building, Conan subconsciously wanted to follow, and he said to Xiaolan, "I'll go to the toilet!"

After escaping from the toilet, he chased Nishimoto Ken to the men's toilet, and it happened that Murasawa came out of it on Monday.He opened the toilet door, only to see Masato Shimizu inside.

"Strange, didn't Mr. Nishimoto come in just now?" Conan asked as he opened the door again.

"No."

Oops, it's the stairs.

Conan ran up the stairs quickly, and just after turning the corner, he heard the Moonlight Sonata.

At this moment, everyone downstairs also heard the music.

"This is... the Moonlight Sonata, which chapter is it?" Xiaolan was puzzled.

Mu Mu, who was being interrogated, was also surprised: "Where did the music come from?"

Conan rushed to the end of the stairs, and saw Ken Nishimoto sitting on the ground with a panicked face, pointing at the situation in the broadcasting room in a panic, unable to say anything, just pointing at the room with his fingers.Conan looked at the position he pointed at. On the broadcasting station, the head of Heiyan village fell there, with a black-bladed sharp knife stuck behind him.

What?Is the murderer still in the village at this time?Conan was shocked.This situation means that the murderer is very confident that he will not be caught, and there is a high probability that he is one of the people who are still staying in the village.

Who is it! ?

When Conan was thinking, everyone downstairs also ran up, seeing the scene of a lot of bleeding.Miss Lingzi, the daughter of the village head of Heiyan, called "Father" and wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Mumu.

"Miss Lingzi can't, you can't go inside." Mu Mu turned to the policeman and said, "Hurry up and call the forensic personnel and the coroner."

"Officer, the coroner has gone to Tokyo in the evening because of Mr. Kawashima's autopsy."

"What! Damn it, at such a time..."

Chengshi volunteered: "Excuse me, if I could..."

Mu Mu nodded slightly, and he turned to Kogoro and said, "However, in this way, many suspects will be filtered out."

After the police arrived, all the entrances and exits were guarded by the police.Conan was pounding on the wall, he had no idea at all.

who is it?Who is the criminal?

Police officer Mumu asked the rest of the people to wait on the first floor, and led the forensic personnel to start searching for evidence at the scene.Chengshi helped with the autopsy and came to the corpse of the head of Heiyan Village.

"I believe that the deceased was killed between fifteen and three 10 minutes after they were found."

Mu Mu took out the tape playing in the studio and nodded: "Indeed. There is about 15 minutes of blank space in front of this tape."

Obtaining this result, Mugure was very disturbed, because during the interrogation period, everyone was constantly walking around, the village chief Heiyan, and others also had to go to the toilet or the room at the end of the second floor.

"Officer Megure, something strange was found under the victim's chair." The forensic officer's loud voice sounded, and Meguro and Kogoro walked over quickly.What caught my eye was a score drawn with blood, "What, is it a score?" Mumu called another forensic officer to take a photo.Kogoro guessed, "Could it be, is this also the victim's last words?"

Conan, who intends to find the murderer, entered the serious mode. He took a pen and a notebook, squatted beside the corpse, and denied Kogoro's statement. "No, no," Conan's voice attracted the attention of the two, "If you still have the time and strength to do this kind of thing, you can go outside to ask for help, so these should be left by the murderer. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the hammer of punishment directly above landed on top of his head——Kogoro hit Conan on the back of the head in a circle.

Conan, who was stunned by the blow, fell forward, lying on the music score on the floor.Mori Kogoro raised Conan in a hurry: "Idiot, don't touch important evidence, damn it!"

The three of them checked the music score on the ground and found that there was no change, so they breathed a sigh of relief. "You little brat, you're always making trouble," Kogoro pointed at Conan's nose, "Go outside for me!"

Conan smacked his lips.

After the investigation came to an end, Police Officer Meguro called everyone in the lobby on the first floor and announced: "After the victim is killed, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata will be played. Judging from these techniques, I think Mr. Kawashima and Heiyan were killed. The murderer of Mr. Hei Yan is the same person. Moreover, from the time of the killing, Mr. Hei Yan was killed 10 minutes before he was discovered, that is, around [-]:[-]. At that time, at this Everyone in the public hall is suspected. As for these people, besides Mr. Mori and the others, Mr. Takeshi Nishimoto who was the first to discover the corpse, Dr. Narumi Asai who did the autopsy for us just now, and the secretary of the village chief, Hirata Kazuaki Sir, Ms. Kuroiwa Reiko, the daughter of the village chief, and her fiancé, Mr. Zhou Yi, and Mr. Shimizu Masato, the candidate for the election of the village chief.”

"Wait a minute, why am I also a suspect? Just kidding, I've been being interrogated by you since [-]:[-]!" Kuroiwa Reiko growled.

"Indeed, you are unlikely to commit a crime."

"Then it's the same for Doctor Chengshi!" Mao Lilan interjected, "Because we've been together since six o'clock."

Mu Mu pressed his chin with his thumb and nodded: "Well, I heard from other people that Dr. Cheng Shi never left the scene during the ceremony, and she sprained her ankle when offering incense. Then the suspect can only There are only four men left."

Hirata Kazuaki also came to him and explained: "That police officer, I have also been staying on this floor since six o'clock."

"So do you have any witnesses?"

"You all know, I've been here since six o'clock!" Hirata and Akira waited for a cold response.

"So, Mr. Nishimoto. Although you are the first person to find Mr. Kuroiwa's body. But what are you doing in such a place? It is doubtful." Megure ignored Hirata Kazuaki's appeal and walked to Nishimoto Ken's In front of him, question him.

"Heiyan told me to go there!" Nishimoto Ken shouted and explained.

"Hmph!" Kogoro approached Nishi himself, and said in a suspicious tone, "He told you to come over, so you go and kill him."

"No!" Kuroiwa Reiko stood up and retorted, "It's Shimizu! The candidate for the village head, if there is no my father and Kawashima, then the position of village head will become Mr. Shimizu's."

Several people started to quarrel.

Conan ignored these and looked at the music score he had drawn on his notebook.There is a music score painted with blood in the second murder case, and Conan is sure that the music score of the first murder case also contains some information,

Seeing his concentration, Xiaolan asked curiously, "Conan, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the music score left by the murderer at the scene of the murder. I think it must be a code left by the murderer. There may be some connection between the sharp mark and the flat mark."

Xiaolan leaned over to look at it, and smiled.In her opinion, Conan is really smart, and the code is like a game to him.

"Let me see... the black keyboard in terms of a piano."

"keyboard……"

Yup!

"Understood...the next, one, is you." Conan suddenly read out.

He looked up at Xiaolan, and explained: "This code is very simple if you understand the rules. Starting from the left side of the piano keyboard, put the English letters in order, and then put the message you want to convey in pinyin. Use notes to write on the music score. According to this clue, reading the music score at the scene where Mr. Kawashima was killed becomes "Understood, you are next."

"You are amazing, Conan!" Xiaolan lamented Conan's intelligence.It's very similar to when Xin was a child, but it's not as bad as him.

"So, what about the score written in blood just now?" Kogoro asked.

"Well..." Conan opened his notepad, found the transcribed music score, and said slowly, "The resentment of Karma is eliminated here."

The people present were startled.Among them, Hirata and Ming muttered to themselves: "Could it be that Yehuo's resentment is..."

"The pianist who committed suicide 12 years ago..." Kuroiwa Reiko added.

After hearing this, Ken Nishimoto opened his mouth wide, showing an expression of almost collapse.He trembled his lips: "It's that guy! Keiji Aso is still alive!"

"He is indeed dead." said the old police officer who opened the door and walked in. "The bones and teeth found at the scene of the fire have also been compared. It is absolutely true that they are his family. Everything was destroyed at the time." Only the sheet music in the fireproof safe survives."

"Score!"

Mao Li immediately pointed to the old police officer and asked, "Where are those scores now?"

"It's in the warehouse of the public hall, but if the warehouse is in the police station."

"Then why don't you hurry up and get it! Go!" Officer Mumu roared.

"Yes!" The old police officer ran out.

Conan also quickly caught up, he was very interested in what happened 12 years ago. "Wait, I'll go with you too." Conan chased after the old police officer.At this time, Ken Nishimoto, who was staying in the public hall, had a grim expression.

Cheng Shi also looked extremely worried.He didn't want any of his father's relics to get involved in this matter, and although Miss Winnet assured him that there was nothing wrong, he still felt very uneasy.When he personally killed the head of Heiyan village, this uneasiness began to spread, which made him feel shaken.You can't implicate those who help you, you must carry it out-this is for yourself.Chengshi remained calm, and slowly moved his gaze to Nishimoto Ken.

……

Conan, who chased him out, walked side by side with the old police officer under the streetlight. "Did Mr. Aso really set fire to the family by himself?" Conan raised his head and confirmed the situation of the case 12 years ago to the old police officer.

The old police officer looked up to recall.

"Well, because there were four witnesses at the time." The old police officer listed, "Mr. Kameyama, the former village chief, and Mr. Heiyan village chief, Mr. Nishimoto and Mr. Kawashima. They and Mr. Aso grew up together as five people. big."

"What about Mr. Murasawa Monday?"

"Oh, he came to this island suddenly three years ago. A few days ago, he finally got engaged to the village chief's daughter, but the village chief has been objecting."

"What about the secretary of the village chief, that person named Hirata?"

"That man, he is a cowardly person, and he is unlikely to do such a vicious act. However, I often see him sneaking around with Mr. Kawashima in the public hall."

"Mr. Shimizu, how is he?"

"His sense of justice is very strong, and he is loved by fishermen."

Conan listened to his description of everyone.It is still uncertain which person is most likely to be related to this incident. The biggest beneficiary after the death of Heiyan Village Chief and Mr. Kawashima is Mr. Shimizu, but he does not seem to be the person who would do such a thing.Mr. Murasawa is already engaged to Miss Lingzi, and there is no reason to harm Village Chief Heiyan.As for Mr. Hirata, in terms of his psychological quality, it is too difficult to complete these. Takeshi Nishimoto is even more so. If it is just acting, it is too realistic.

As a result, he still did not draw a reliable conclusion.Why is it so long, almost an hour has passed!Conan glanced at the old police officer who was still rummaging around, and felt deeply that he was unreliable.Just when he was about to find a stool and help them find it together, the old police officer exclaimed in surprise, "I found it!" Then he took out the key from the box. When they were about to return to the public hall, Xiaolan appeared at the door of the police station He bowed his waist and looked at Conan with a smile.
