"Really, how long are we going to have to wait!"
They had just found someone to notify the village chief. After seeing no one for a long time, Maori Kogoro was a little anxious.
"Strange, where is Conan?"
In a blink of an eye, Conan disappeared from everyone's sight again, and Xiaolan was a little worried.
At this time, Conan discovered a huge room with only a piano in it.
Push the door open and enter.
"No, Conan!"
"Wow, what a big room!"
Shirakawa Yuki and others also followed, and Mouri Kogoro felt a little emotional.
"Why is this piano so dirty?"
Walking to the piano, Xiaolan felt a little strange because it was covered with dust.
A staff member passed by the room and saw them about to touch the piano, and quickly stopped them.
"No, no, don't touch it. That piano is the cursed piano that Mr. Aso played at the concert on the day he died!"
"No way, how could this be cursed?"
Mouri Kogoro was a little strange.
"It's not just Mr. Aso, the same thing happened to the former village chief."
The staff continued to explain.
"So, it's Mr. Isamu Kameyama who's doing the job today?"
"Yes, that happened two years ago, it was a full moon night, and I happened to pass by this neighborhood.
There should be no one in the public hall, but there was the sound of someone playing the piano.
When I opened my mouth to check if anyone was there, the sound stopped immediately.
When I walked inside, Mr. Kameyama was on the piano. The cause of death was a heart attack.
Also, the song he played until his death was the moonlight sonata that Mr. Aso kept playing in the flames.
From then on, the piano unknowingly became known as the Cursed Piano. "
After listening to the staff, Conan ran to the piano and played a few times.
The strange thing is that the piano sound, which has obviously not been touched for a long time, is accurate.
"There's obviously nothing different about this piano!"
Conan never believed in such things as curses.
After that, the group of people were pushed out by the staff.
"Anyway, please wait at the entrance until the ceremony is over."
After that, he left.
"Oh, you are still here!"
At this time, Asai Makoto walked over from the side. When he saw Shirakawa Yuki, his eyes shook unnaturally, but they soon returned to normal.
But because Conan was still thinking about the piano, he didn't notice anything wrong with Doctor Honest's expression at that moment.
"Doctor Honesty, are you also here to attend the ceremony?"
Xiaolan was a little curious to see Asai Makoto also dressed in black.
"Yes, because when I came to this island, the first subject of the autopsy was Mr. Kameyama, so I wanted to come and burn incense to pay my respects."
Asai explained honestly and then introduced the man next to him.
"Oh, this is Mr. Qingshui, the one we just mentioned."
"Oh, this is the first time we meet. I am Qing Shui. Please give me your advice."
Masato Qingshui greeted everyone.
…
The group of people were sitting outside the public hall, and Conan was still thinking about the commission letter and the piano just now.
Suddenly, a slow piano sound came out.
It is the first movement of "Moonlight".
"Suffer it!"
As soon as Conan heard the song "Moonlight", he immediately thought of the curse on the piano and rushed into the piano room.
None of the people on the side could stop him.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Kawashima lying motionless on the piano.
"Xiaolan, hurry up and notify the police."
After confirming that the deceased was not breathing, Mouri Kogoro shook his head and told Xiaolan.
"Doctor Honesty, could you please come and do the autopsy?"
Doctor Honest walked over and began the autopsy, while Conan looked on with regret on his face.
Apparently he had understood that the commission letter had predicted that someone would die, and he regretted that he had failed to prevent the murder.
The staff on the side began to hold their heads and shout.
"It's a curse! This is the curse of that piano!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Mr. Kawashima’s body.
"Hey, there's no curse. It's not the piano that makes the sound, but this tape recorder."
As he spoke, he lifted a tape recorder from the side and turned off the switch.
"Judging from the events that happened two years ago, this was a planned murder!"
…
"It is inferred that the time of death was thirty minutes to an hour ago. The cause of death was probably suffocation! I think Mr. Kawashima was drowned in the sea."
After examining the body, Dr. Honest told Kogoro Mori what she had concluded.
"He was drowned?"
Mouri Kogoro was a little surprised.
"If we don't dissect the corpse, I can't guarantee it."
"No, I think what the honest doctor said is right."
At this moment, Shirakawa Yuki, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
"Look, the coat on the beach outside must belong to Mr. Kawashima.
From that door to the piano, there are also traces of being dragged from the seaside. And Mr. Kawashima also had dirt and sand on his back.
Judging from the fact that all doors or windows are locked, the first few minutes of the tape should be blank. "
After saying that, she pressed the recorder. As she said, the first few minutes of the tape were blank.
"I'm afraid the prisoner took Mr. Kawashima to the beach and drowned him during the funeral, then moved the body to this room and locked it.
Press the switch on the recorder and exit the room to the hallway.
I think I said it right? Uncle Maori. "
After saying that, he looked at Mouri Kogoro who was already stunned.
"That's right, that's right, hahahaha!"
Mouri Kogoro didn't want others to see that he didn't notice this, so he had to smile and pass it by.
"If this door is locked, since we have been staying at the entrance just now, in my judgment, the possibility of the prisoner returning to the venue is quite high."
Mouri Kogoro became serious and touched his chin to analyze carefully.
"Wait... wait, you mean, the prisoner is still among us?"
Miss Kuroiwa on the side was a little anxious.
"Yes, the prisoner is here. Did anyone see Mr. Kawashima leaving his place during the ritual?"
The village chief of Heiyan on the side replied: "I know about this. I'm sure he said he wanted to go to the toilet."
"Did anyone else see anyone leave their seats?"
Mouri Kogoro looked around and continued to ask.
"How can you remember everything like that?"
A villager on the side said.
"Then what if Mr. Kawashima has offended someone?"
"I can't say I'm offended, but the person who was happiest after Mr. Kawashima's death was none other than Mr. Shimizu, who was also a candidate for village chief like him."
The words of the village chief of Kuroiwa pushed the suspicion to Masato Qingshui who was aside.
"What did you say! Then the same goes for you, Black Rock Village Chief!"
Seeing that he had become a suspect, Masato Shimizu became a little anxious.
"Yes, you are right. If someone did not arrange Mr. Kawashima's vote source as his own, then my father would have been elected long ago."
Miss Kuroiwa on the side began to add fuel to the fire.
