Time went forward for a while. When Conan, Xiaolan, and Asai Narumi followed the old inspector who took the key to the public hall and wanted to open the warehouse door, Conan heard something strange coming from the room where the piano was placed at the end of the corridor. ring.
"Did you hear anything?" Conan pointed to the room at the end of the corridor and asked the three people present.
"Really? I didn't pay attention." Xiaolan shook her head.
"Would you like to go take a look?" Asai Narumi said.
Conan did not hesitate and ran over quickly. Asai Narumi accompanied him. When Xiaolan saw this, she did not go over but stayed where she was because their original purpose was to enter the warehouse and get Aso Keiji's relics.
But when Conan and Asai Narumi ran to the piano room, they heard footsteps coming from inside. When Asai Narumi opened the door, they saw a black shadow in the dark room through the moonlight. , smashed the glass window and escaped.
"Stop!" Conan rushed forward quickly, and then fell to the ground. Fortunately, the room was paved with floor, so he was not injured.
Asai Narumi turned on the light in the room, and then the two saw Kuroiwa Reiko's fiancé Murasawa Monday falling to the ground.
"Mr. Murasawa, Mr. Murasawa!" Conan stepped forward and checked Murasawa's breathing on Monday, and then breathed a sigh of relief. He was not dead. Fortunately, he was not dead.
Suddenly, he saw something like a hammer placed next to Murasawa Monday. This was... a tuning hammer!
Asai Narimi stepped forward to check and made a preliminary judgment, "He seemed to have been hit on the head and was unconscious..."
"Ah~~~"
At this time, Xiaolan let out a shrill scream outside.
Conan ran out without saying a word, and saw Xiaolan and the old patrolman exiting the warehouse as if they had met each other, with shock on their faces.
"What's wrong, Sister Xiaolan..."
Conan ran over and took a look into the warehouse, and saw Ken Nishimoto being hung up through the lights in the corridor. Due to the darkness of the warehouse, Ken Nishimoto, who was already scary-looking, became even more terrifying.
"Grandpa, go and notify Officer Megure!"
…
When police officer Megure rushed to the scene with his people, they sealed off the public hall.
"Is this...suicide?" Mouri Kogoro looked at Ken Nishimoto hanging high in the warehouse, and then at the stool kicked over by Ken Nishimoto's feet, and said hesitantly.
"Officer, I found these two things on the ground." Officer Chiba handed a piece of paper to Officer Megure, and he held a piece of dyed cloth.
Officer Memu, who was wearing gloves, took the paper and saw three words "I'm guilty" written crookedly on the paper.
Involuntarily, he looked at the piece of cloth and exclaimed: "Could this be..."
Officer Chiba nodded solemnly and said: "This piece of cloth matches the missing part of the clothes Mr. Kuroiwa wore. It should be that when the murderer assassinated Mr. Kuroiwa, in order to prevent the liquid from splashing, he used this cloth to wrap the blade and then used force. Stab it down."
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri held his chin with his right hand and said in deep thought: "I heard from Mr. Shimizu that Ken Nishimoto, Mr. Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima who died, and Mr. Kameyama who died two years ago, and Mr. Shimizu who died twelve years ago Mr. Aso and Mr. Aso were both childhood friends. However, after Mr. Kameyama passed away two years ago, Takeshi Nishimoto suddenly changed his temperament and became suspicious."
Hoshino Sora started to think and answered: "Could it be that the person who killed Mr. Aso twelve years ago was Ken Nishimoto? And several other people had witnessed his murder and arson, so..."
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, he hit his left palm with his right fist, and said loudly: "That's right, that's it! Back then, three people had witnessed Ken Nishimoto killing someone. Perhaps because they were all friends, they covered it up for him. But there was a gap between them two years ago after the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, passed away due to illness.”
"Although the cause of Mr. Kameyama's death was a heart attack, Mr. Kuroiwa and Mr. Kawashima still suspected that Ken Nishimoto killed Mr. Kameyama, and this suspicion made them distrust each other and made Ken Nishimoto sensitive. stand up."
"And then there was today's series of serial killings!"
Hoshino Sora praised: "As expected of an uncle, what he said seems to be true."
"What are you talking about? Things must be as I reasoned. As long as I find the relics left by Aso Keiji, I should be able to prove my reasoning!" Mouri Kogoro said with confidence, "I think Aso Keiji must have left a death message, writing it in the form of a musical score!”
Officer Memu quickly asked the old patrolman who was rummaging around, "Did you find it?"
"Not yet. After all, it has been twelve years. There are a lot of things...ah, I found it!" The old inspector happily picked up a thick file bag.
Officer Megure quickly took it, opened the bag, and took out a thick stack of paper inside, and then...he looked at the music score on the paper with a confused expression.
Mouri Kogoro and Hoshino Sora also came over to take a look, and instantly turned into beet-eyed.
"Uncle, is this really a code?" Hoshino Sora asked blankly.
"Ah..." Mouri Kogoro was sweating profusely, hesitating and unable to explain.
Conan jumped to his feet, eager to take a look, so he took out the small notebook and pen he carried with him, and in a hurry, he said: "This may be something to write down. I watched a puzzle game on TV and said that as long as the content is If you break it down, you can understand it. Can I try it?"
"Really? Brother Maori, come and try to decipher it." Officer Megure put the music notes on the ground one by one with the attitude of giving it a try, hoping to pool everyone's wisdom to decipher the possible death messages.
Conan quickly copied the content into his notebook, and then he was confused about the '#' and 'b' in the music score. It was Xiaolan who helped him solve the puzzle. '#' is a sharp sign and 'b' is a flat sign.
"This is the basic knowledge of piano, which is taught in music class." Xiaolan said.
Conan: "..."
Haha, music class...the class I hate most, bar none!
While complaining, Conan was shocked. He spread out all the music scores because he already knew how to interpret the music scores.
Hoshino Sora looked at the imaginative music score and felt unwilling to do so. He was also a famous detective after all. How could Watson, who was known as the Heisei era, be stumped by such a small difficulty? Who are you looking down on? With his wisdom, he can crack the code in just a few minutes.
So, he took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the music scores, and then sent the picture by email.
Then, he left the warehouse, came outside, walked far away, and called Lupine.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
"Akong, please, don't call me at this time..." Lupine's voice came from the other end, and Zenigata's roar could still be faintly heard.
Hoshino Kong grinned and said with a smile: "I came to you when I had something to do. Please help me decipher the password. It's urgent. I've sent the stuff to your email."
"No, I don't have a computer now!" Lupine lamented, but he quickly unfolded the folded mobile phone into a large tablet, entered the computer system, and began to operate it.
"Your mobile phone is a concept phone designed by the doctor. The doctor said it is twenty years ahead of the world! What's more, you even modified it magically. I believe you can use it as a computer." Hoshino Sora curled his lips.
