The dazzling firelight illuminated the dark night sky.
When everyone rushed to the community activity center, the blazing flames had blocked every exit here.
"Police Department, it seems that the surrounding area of the building has been poured with gasoline in advance. The fire is so big that it is impossible to get close!!"
The police officers tried many methods but still could not enter the rescue without ensuring their own safety.
They didn't know how many people were in the community center. The only thing they were sure of was that the murderer Aso must be inside, and he prepared this fire for himself.
Mao Lilan's face turned pale: "Could it be that... Cheng Shi had originally planned to commit suicide?"
"No! Aso can't die!" Conan muttered secretly, and with fast steps, he used his height advantage to successfully enter the activity center through the broken glass window.
But just when he rushed to the door of the piano room, he met an unexpected person here——
"Brother Qingshui?" Conan's eyes flashed slightly, "Why are you here?"
At this time, Qingshui Yuxian looked very embarrassed, his clothes were burned a lot by the fire, and his arms and face were covered with scars and stains left by the smoke.
"Dr. Asai committed suicide." Yu Jiang said every word.
"I know, but he can't die!" Conan crossed Yujiang and was about to go to the piano room.
Conan had just taken two steps when he realized that he was flying into the air - that guy was holding him in the air like a chicken! !
Conan began to thrash: "Let me go, Shimizu Yuzuru! I want you to let me go!!"
How can a child's strength compare to that of an adult male?
No matter how Conan struggled, he was brought out of the fire safely by Yu Jiang.
Outside the activity center, Mao Lilan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Conan in Yu Jiang's arms: "Conan, why are you so stupid? If it wasn't for Teacher Qingshui's fire, you might really die!"
Mao Lilan hugged Conan, and the tears she had been holding back suddenly burst out of her eyes.
Conan felt the moisture on his cheeks and suddenly became unsure.
He seemed to have worried Xiaolan again because of his reckless behavior.
But--
"This is Mr. Aso's suicide note to Aso Minori. He will definitely change his mind after seeing this!"
"The fire is too big, sometimes we have to accept our powerlessness." Officer Megure said with a regretful tone.
In fact, he didn't want to see the scene before him, but this was Aso's own choice. He would not let his men risk their lives for a serial killer who committed suicide in fear of crime.
Conan said stubbornly: "No! I must..."
"Give it to me." Yu Jiang said calmly, with mixed emotions.
"What?"
In Conan's confusion, Ikue took away the music score suicide note left by Keiji Aso to his son.
Immediately afterwards, Conan was shocked to see Yuzuru Shimizu take out a harmonica from his pocket and start playing against the music score.
Perhaps because he used a chromatic harmonica, he could perfectly interpret even the rising and falling tones of the music score.
During the soothing "Moonlight", everyone present subconsciously kept silent.
The melodious piano sound in the activity center mixed with the bright and metallic music of the harmonica outside echoed in the night sky.
Soon, the piano music stopped, and the performer seemed to catch the harmonica coming from outside, and then played the piano again.
But anyone who understands music theory can tell that the piano that plays again is no longer the original version of "Moonlight."
Aso Minoru and Shimizu Yuzuru performed the encrypted "Moonlight" that Aso Keiji left to his son.
[Chengshi, you have to live strong alone...]
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the scorching temperature could almost burn everyone's cheeks.
The only regret was that the song "Moonlight" could not be finished and the piano sound stopped suddenly.
The piano stopped playing, but the harmonica persisted tenaciously.
— right up to the last note of the third movement.
…
The fire at the community center burned until early the next morning.
At this time, Murasawa's consciousness just returned and he told the truth about the beating.
Because he admired the pianist Keiji Aso, he tuned the piano when it was about to be disposed of. However, he accidentally uncovered Hirata's heroin smuggling, and was attacked by Hirata.
To this day, everyone still doesn’t know whether Aso Minori had foreseen the attack in the piano room last night, or whether he had already mastered evidence of heroin smuggling by Hirata and deliberately diverted the police’s attention there.
However, the possibility of Aso realizing his hatred for smuggled drugs does not seem low.
Ikue, Mouri Kogoro and his group got on the ferry back to Tokyo.
The others were in good condition, but Conan had been lying on the deck since boarding the ship, staring blankly at the increasingly smaller Moon Shadow Island.
Aso's self-immolation had a profound impact on him that cannot be explained in a few words.
"But why did Chengshi send such a letter warning of murder to dad?"
Mouri Kogoro has been in a drowsy state since he was given an injection by Conan last night, and even fell asleep even more unconsciously after boarding the ship.
Seeing this, Mao Lilan had no choice but to ask and answer: "Well, I think this may be a challenge written by Chengshi to his father."
Even though Aso Minori has been confirmed as the murderer of three people, Mao Lilan is still used to using the affectionate name "Inari".
"No." Conan, who was in a daze on the side, suddenly sighed, "I think he must be hoping...that someone can stop him from killing people."
It's a pity that he didn't figure out the truth until the end.
If he could have done it earlier, maybe Aso wouldn't have to stain his hands with blood, at least, not so much...
And the only person who has a chance to stop him...
Conan turned his head and looked at the man who was still playing with his mobile phone in front of such a beautiful sea. He frowned and asked, "Brother Qingshui, did you know this a long time ago?"
"What do you know?" Yu Jiang raised his head from the phone, then lowered his head to look directly at Conan.
"Asai Naomi is actually Aso's business."
"Eh?" Mao Lilan was surprised, "So Teacher Qingshui, did you already know about it?"
Yu Jiang narrowed his eyes: "Why do you ask that?"
"Because when Brother Shimizu referred to Asai Narumi, he used him instead of her, right?"
"I don't even remember that such a thing happened." Ikue laughed, "I'm not a prophet, how could I have guessed that Dr. Asai would be Aso Keiji's son."
He wore the mask tightly so as not to reveal any flaws, "After all, Dr. Asai looks like a very sunny and gentle lady, doesn't she?"
Conan was also confused about this.
He could never figure out how Shimizu Yuzuru saw through Asai Narumi's identity.
"But just like Dr. Asai deceived everyone's eyes with his false gender," Yu Jiang suddenly asked, "Is the justice and truth recognized by the public necessarily correct?"
Conan's heart tightened.
My thoughts couldn't help but return to the blazing fire last night.
suddenly! A bright light shines into Conan's eyes.
"what are you doing?!"
"What can you see?" Yu Jiang asked holding a flashlight.
"Can't see anything!"
Yu Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth: "So absolute justice is not a sin. What do you think, Conan-kun?"
