"Sorry, the Mr. Keiji Aso you mentioned is not found on the resident record sheet." The man in charge of the inquiry said.

"How is it possible? That guy clearly sent me a letter of entrustment." Mouri Kogoro questioned looking at the letter in his hand.

"This... I don't know. I'm just a guy who just came here two years ago..." The man who was investigating quickly waved his hand.

"Ah, it turns out that Mr. Mori came here to ask for information about Mr. Keiji Aso." Shuji Tsushima walked over slowly and said.

"But that Keiji Aso was actually a person who died twelve years ago." Toru Amuro, who was following him, said unhurriedly.

"So that Keiji Aso is a person who has been dead for twelve years?!" Mouri Kogoro said in confusion.

Attracting frightened looks from other residents.

"Keiji Aso was a famous pianist at the time. Twelve years ago, he killed his wife and daughter after playing. He kept playing the piano in the fire, as if he was possessed by something evil. It's like I'm pregnant..." explained the person in charge who rushed over after hearing the sound.

"And the music he played at that time was Beethoven's Moonlight..."



"Really, why would a dead person send me a letter of entrustment?" Sitting by the flower bed, Mouri Kogoro thought while looking at the letter and touching his chin.

"It must be someone's prank."

"Not necessarily. Look, the code used on it is the code of Yueying Island, and the commission fee has been sent over a long time ago. It may be someone on Yueying Island who wants Uncle Maori to investigate this matter." Conan said While saying.

Shuji Tsushima squatted on the roadside and looked at the ants carefully.

"Toru-kun, they are so densely packed that they look like they are hugging each other for warmth. It's so disgusting~" He raised his head and complained to Amuro Toru who was standing next to him.

Toru Amuro: It’s disgusting, why do you still enjoy watching it so much?

"I thought observing ants was something only kindergarten children would do." He said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Tsushima-kun to do it."

"Tou-kun, you want to say that I look like a kid in kindergarten. Wow, I'm so happy~ It turns out that in Tou-kun's heart, I am so--cute?" Tsushima Shuji blinked and said innocently.

That I look like a troublesome kid in kindergarten? I'm going to disgust you to death, Luo Luo Luo.

Toru Amuro: Speechless.

"Tsushima-kun and Amuro-kun, we are going to go to the public hall to ask the village chief about Aso Keiji. Do you two want to come together?" Mao Lilan came over and asked.

"Then let's go together." Amuro Toru said with a smile on his face.

One hand grabbed Tsushima Shuji's collar without hesitation.

"Tsushima-kun must also agree, right?" He said with a smile.

Tsushima Shuji was silent for a while and nodded stiffly.

Bourbon, your smile looks like it’s broken.

"Hello, how can I get to the public center?" Mao Lilan walked up to a woman and asked.

Ponytail, white coat, cheerful and bright smile.

Shuji Tsushima: It’s a doctor.

Mao Lilan and others who asked for directions were also very enthusiastic and showed them the way.

While chatting, I mentioned that I was also from Tokyo.

I really like the air and quiet atmosphere on Yueying Island.

"Please vote for Masato Shimizu..." a car with a loudspeaker shouted as it passed by her.

"Ah ha ha ha... this is an accident." She smiled.

"Actually, it's because Yueying Island is holding a village chief election recently..."

"Sorry, miss, we are not interested in the election of the village chief at all." Mouri Kogoro interrupted her.

"I'm Makoto Asai, a doctor. I have a medical license." She introduced herself.

"If you go to the public hall, where the former village chief's funeral is being held, you will definitely meet the three people I just mentioned." said a female doctor named Asai Makoto.



"Really, this village chief seems to be unpopular at all." On the way to the public hall, I saw many people waving banners and shouting slogans asking the current village chief to step down.

Mouri Kogoro complained.

"That's true." Toru Amuro nodded in agreement.

"Hello, we would like to meet the village chief of Black Rock." Mouri Kogoro said to the village chief's secretary.

"Please wait a moment." The secretary said this and ran to inform the Black Rock Village Chief.

"Really, how long are we going to have to wait?" Mouri Kogoro said impatiently and put out the cigarette in his hand.

"Strange, where did Conan go?" Mao Lilan looked around and asked strangely.

Tsushima Shuji silently pointed the direction for her.

I saw a certain primary school student silently pushing open a closed room door.

"Don't make trouble, Conan... Hey, this is..." Mao Lilan, who was about to stop Conan, looked at the things in the room and was stunned for a moment.

"It's a piano." In the empty room, there was only the dusty grand piano.

"This piano is the piano that Mr. Keiji Aso played when he died. It is a cursed piano..." Mr. Secretary appeared and explained.

A sporadic piano sound sounded.

"It's obviously just an ordinary piano." The boy in a blue suit complained after playing for a while.

The secretary's face suddenly changed and he pushed the person out of the room.

"Anyway, before the ceremony is over, you should wait at the entrance." He said in a bad tone.



"Toru-kun~~~It's so boring~~"

"I just saw the sea~ It's so beautiful..." Shuji Tsushima, who was sitting aside, said tiredly.

Why haven't anyone died yet? The efficiency is too slow.

He came here to experience death up close.

Shuji Tsushima: Because I can’t die, I’m crazy about other dead people.

"Yes, but no matter how beautiful you think this sea is, don't jump in." Amuro threatened with a smile.

"What, why not?" Tsushima Shuji was dissatisfied.

"Because it won't look good if someone dies." Toru Amuro said in a serious tone to coax a child.

"Hey, even though so many people die in the sea every year, the sea is still very beautiful." Shuji Tsushima said without mercy.

Toru Amuro: Tsk, chicken soup for the soul is useless to you?

"You are still here." Dr. Makoto Asai, who I met on the road, said in surprise.

"This is Mr. Shimizu we mentioned." She introduced the man in black suit following her.

"I'm going to clear the water." The man said with an approachable smile.



In the room where the ritual was being held, someone silently walked out of the room.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just going to the toilet."

The man closed the door.

Tsujima Shuji, Mouri Kogoro and others sat at the entrance outside, waiting quietly for them to finish their rituals.

Weird...that piano doesn't look like it hasn't been used in years...

Instead, it feels like someone has secretly tuned it.

Kudo Shinichi sat on the steps and thought.

Melodious music came from the public hall.

"Ah, it's the moonlight." Shuji Tsushima said after hearing the music.

"It's the song that Mr. Keiji Aso played when he died." He added silently.

Kudo Shinichi: Oh no!
