Conan: I'm really not a model worker at a winery

Chapter 117 Moonlight Sonata (Incident Investigation)

Conan seemed to smell the incident, and ran to the piano room.

Hiroki followed closely behind, followed by Uncle Mori and Xiaolan...

Lie, on the other hand, left at the same time as Conan had just left—it was just that Conan entered through the entrance, while Lie ran around the house to the back door of the piano room.

Lie, who was extremely fast, was the first to arrive at the back door of the piano room. The first thing he noticed were the drag marks on the beach and the coat on the edge of the beach.

Lie narrowed his eyes.

'It's very efficient...but how did he leave the scene? '

Lie went up and pushed the back door, only to find that it was locked.

Fortunately, at this time, he heard the sound of someone pushing the door inside, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "The door here is locked, and there is no one who can help me open the door?"

Mori Kogoro and Conan, who had already found the body, were startled when they heard Lie's shout, and it took half a beat to realize that Lie had come running around in a circle, and Conan hurried up to open the door.

When Mori Kogoro checked the state of the corpse, the people attending the ceremony also heard the sound.

"People are dying..."

Mori Kogoro shook his head at the people who came, and then said, "Xiao Lan! Go to the police immediately!"

"it is good!"

Xiaolan is an actionist, she pushed everyone away and went straight to the police station.

"Who is dead?"

Lie leaned over curiously, stared at the corpse for a while—this is a fresh corpse!There is also a smell of sea salt...

Hmm, I don't know him.

And someone in the crowd who came over recognized the identity of the deceased—Mr. Kawashima, one of the candidates for the village head.

Lie and Mori Kogoro both found the tape recorder hidden under the tripod of the piano after looking at the corpse: "So that's it, is it because of this..."

"If you play the previous tape blank, you can delay the time when the body is found..." Lie added after Mouri Kogoro.

On the side, Sawada Hiroki was in charge of grabbing Conan's mouth, arms and legs to keep him from moving around the scene.

Conan was puzzled by this, squinting his eyes, "What are you doing, Hiroki?"

He wants to solve the case!He's looking for clues!

Hiroki shook his head: "Let's leave this incident to your lord... After all, we are very unfamiliar with this island. It would be terrible if you showed your talents and were targeted by unscrupulous people."

Conan was startled.

He didn't think about it at all.

"That's right..." But the shoes that the doctor made for him to strengthen his feet, the bowknot voice changer, the watch-shaped anesthesia gun, and the portable loudspeaker he has never used once!
However, Hiroki couldn't help but dragged Conan out of the back door: "Okay, don't talk about it, let's keep a low profile here..."

"Yes, but..."

He wants to solve the case!
"Don't worry, with the uncles here, the case will definitely be solved." Sawada Hiroki comforted, "And Lie...Uncle Lin already knows that the criminal will continue to kill, he will definitely find a way to stop it..."

Conan reluctantly accepted Hiroki's statement.

Of course, the main reason is that Hiroki pulled him so hard that he couldn't get rid of it at all...

Moreover, in Conan's eyes, Lie's reasoning ability is indeed very strong.

but.

Hiroki's heart is a little empty: he accidentally said Uncle Lie's code name just now, and Conan must have noticed it.

Sure enough, when he made a detour in front of the public hall, Conan suddenly asked, "Does Mr. Lin have another name?"

Hiroki nodded naturally: "Yes, I always called him Uncle Ryan at first."

Ren's 'Leon' overlaps with Lie's pronunciation 'le', there is nothing wrong with it, it's just that the strange setting has been added... I hope Uncle Lie won't hit him after he knows that he has an extra English name.

Hiroki prayed in his heart.

In fact, Conan just asked a random question, and he also thought that it might be an English name. Hearing that Hiroki’s answer was similar to what he thought, Conan didn’t care. It’s not surprising that a family who immigrated to the United States has an English name. .

"Then Hiroki, we..."

"Let's go back to the hotel."

Conan: "..."

He wanted to say that it's better to go back and solve the case!
-

"Lin, do you mean that this prisoner will continue to commit crimes?"

Mori Kogoro held a sheet of piano score in his hand, and looked at Lie with a solemn expression.

This piano score was found in the cracks of the piano. Lie guessed that it might be a code or something... But he and Kogoro Mouri have different music theory, so they can only keep it for now.

Lie's expression was still relaxed: "Yes~ Didn't Mr. Maori's power of attorney say? 'On a moonlit night, shadows will start to disappear'...It means that now is just the beginning."

"It seems to be true..." Mori Kogoro supported his chin, turned his head and said, "Well, Doctor Chengshi, what's the result of the autopsy?"

"Yes, according to the preliminary judgment, Mr. Kawashima's cause of death was drowning, and the time of death was probably..."

Asai Chengshi reported his inspection results one by one.

After Xiaolan brought the old police officer from the island over, Lie and Mori Kogoro explained what had happened, and then dispersed the crowd who came to watch the ceremony, and at the same time asked the old police officer to contact the police station on the island.

"The only back door of the piano room is locked from the inside. Before the 'moonlight' sounded, we didn't see any suspicious people in the entrance...that is to say."

Mori Kogoro looked seriously at the backs of those who left.

Lie continued with a smile: "The murderer is someone who attended the ceremony, right?"

"That's right, but the problem is that it's not clear who left in the middle of the performance... and the flustered Nishimoto Ken just now is also very suspicious..."

Lie listened to Kogoro Mori's serious reasoning while nodding, and waited until he had finished speaking before suggesting: "Mr. Mori, why don't you ask Xiaolan to bring the piano score back to Conan and the others to study? With the abilities of the two of them , maybe you can find something."

Mori Kogoro twitched the corner of his mouth: "Yes, yes..."

Damn it, why do these two brats have a stronger sense of existence than him!
"Then please, Xiaolan."

Lie smiled and handed the piano score to Xiaolan.

Mori Kogoro and Lie also chose to stay in the public hall with the corpse, as well as the old police officer from Moon Shadow Island.

Asai Chengshi, who was the coroner, also expressed that he wanted to stay together, so there was one more person guarding the corpse.

-

midnight.

Mori Kogoro and the old police officer who had planned to keep watch at night failed to survive a round under Sandman's hands, and fell asleep just after midnight.

in the bathroom.

Asai Chengmi came out of the toilet and looked at the mirror in the mirror in front of the sink with a complicated expression.

He still came this far...

Asai Chengshi sighed, and turned on the tap to wash his face.

At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded from behind him:

"Hey, is Dr. Asai free?"

Shigemi Asai's body froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched while turning his head: "Mr. Chiyan? What's the matter?"

It's over, he can't think about it tonight.

Just as Asai Chengmi thought, Lie smiled and approached him, with a slightly teasing tone:
"Well~ Actually, I just want to chat with you, about you, such as..."

"How did you manage to pretend to be a woman without showing any flaws?"
