Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 417 I just like your inexperienced look! (asking for monthly votes)
"disappear?"

Hearing what Murasawa Shuichi said, Kuroiwa Reiko subconsciously stopped, turned around, and looked at her fiancé in disbelief, "Shui Yi, you..."

Burning and disappearing are two different things!
If it's burned, then everything is gone, but disappearance is not certain.

As long as the person who caused it to disappear is willing, he can make it reappear at any time and continue to wreak havoc on the world.

Knowing that the piano was unlucky and extremely dangerous, he did not choose to completely destroy it, but instead prepared to make it disappear. Did her fiancé plan to use the cursed piano for something in the future, or did he know something?
Hirata Kazuaki who was standing nearby also stopped.

After taking a deep look at Murasawa Shuichi, Hirata Kazuaki's eyes flashed with an inexplicable cold light...

Want to make that cursed piano disappear?

This is really a bold idea!
However, although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, he didn't say anything, but quietly quickened his pace...

……

"Conan," Asai Narimi glanced at Conan beside him on the way back, with a strange look in his eyes, "I am really surprised by your reasoning."

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that such a brilliant reasoning could have come from the mouth of a school-age child!
Being this smart, is this really still a child?
Asai Narimi had doubts about this.

Surprised? Reasoning?
Bai Ye turned his head to glance at Asai Chengmi, and wanted to say something to her: "I like the way you look like you have never seen the world."

Of course, he also likes other looks of a certain Miss Chengshi.

Mao Lilan pondered for a moment, then took over the topic and said, "Because this child's favorite thing to do is to imitate the detective's work."

Even though he had become a child, her childhood sweetheart still couldn't change his habit of reasoning and showing off, and he completely forgot that he was just a child. This made her not know what to say to him.

"But..." Asai Narimi smiled and said, "He is so persuasive. Everyone says so."

She felt that she did not have that kind of extraordinary persuasiveness and reasoning ability.

At the very least, when she was the age of the little boy named Edogawa Conan in front of her, she did not and could not do what the other person did. Not only did he remain calm when facing a corpse, but he was also able to confidently explain his own reasoning.

"Nothing," Conan touched his head, looking a little shy, "I was just imitating Uncle Maori."

"Because I've been watching him work."

Although he was very happy about Asai Narimi's praise, after all, the other party was not one of his own. In order to avoid being noticed by him, he didn't mind giving his credit to a confused detective.

Anyway, he had done similar things more than once or twice before.

"Compared to me, he's still far behind!" Maori Kogoro held down Conan's little head, his face full of pride and arrogance, "And if I, a little kid, could imitate him, then I wouldn't be a famous detective."

He didn't like the guy who imitated him.

"Hey Hey hey."

Conan rolled his eyes.

He is obviously the famous detective, but a confused detective who has been relying on him to solve cases has the nerve to call himself a famous detective and say that he is no match for the other. How shameless!
Asai Chengmi covered his mouth and chuckled, "Hehe..."

After taking a look at the smiling Asai Narimi, Maori Kogoro said goodbye, "Well, we have to go back to the hotel, too."

"Good-bye, then!"

Before leaving, Asai Narimi asked Maori Kogoro, "Please solve the murder case as soon as possible, because I don't want to do autopsy work anymore."

Maori Kogoro readily agreed, "No problem, everything will be very simple if I take care of it! Hahahahaha..."

As he spoke, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but burst into laughter...

I have to say that when it comes to bragging, Kogoro Mori's ability is undoubtedly the best in the world.

Moreover, he is not only thick-skinned, but also has an extremely good mentality.

Even if someone slaps him in the face, he can recover immediately and continue bragging next time. He will not remember the slap in the face at all, and will not be affected by it.

Hearing him say this, Conan next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes again, with a look of disgust and speechlessness on his face.

"That sounds really nice. There are obviously still a lot of things I don't understand!"

He really wanted to know if a confused detective could continue to solve cases without the guidance of a famous high school detective like himself.

Of course, he could only think about this kind of thing.

After all, he has not yet found a suitable tool other than Kogoro Mori.

Moreover, his love for the case made him unable to tolerate the fact that the case was not solved.

……

"There are too many suspicious points in today's case. Why did the criminal deliberately drag the body into the room where the piano is?"

"Also, who hid the sheet music next to Kawashima Hideo's body under the piano lid? Was it the murderer who killed Kawashima Hideo? Or was it someone else? What special meaning does this have?"

"And who wrote the letter that foreshadowed all these events? Who is the so-called Aso Keiji? Who was the person who 'tricked' us to Tsukikage Island under his name?"

After separating from Asai Narimi, Conan followed Kogoro Mori and others while stroking his chin and recalling everything that happened today.

Hmm? Wait a minute! The content of the letter contains the words "started to disappear". Does that mean? Does that mean that this case is not over yet?"

As Conan walked, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.

Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri and others noticed Conan's actions very quickly and couldn't help but stop.

"Little ghost? What's wrong? Why didn't you leave suddenly?" "Uncle, the letter sent to you by the so-called Aso Keiji may have foreshadowed this incident!"

After a moment's silence, Conan shared his new discovery.

"What? Are you saying that the content of this letter is a murder notice?"

Kogoro Mouri took out the letter of commission from his trouser pocket, then opened the paper again and looked at it.

This letter was a murder notice, how come he didn't see that?
"Hmm!" Conan nodded heavily, confirming that Maori Kogoro had not heard wrongly. Then, as if knowing that Maori Kogoro had not yet understood the meaning of the letter, he explained: "The so-called disappearance of the shadow actually refers to being covered by light, and the so-called light refers to the moonlight, which is the meaning of the song "Moonlight" heard at the murder scene."

As soon as these words came out, Maori Kogoro suddenly realized, "That's right, the song that Mr. Aso played in the flames 12 years ago, and the song that the previous village chief played before his death two years ago, were both Beethoven's Sonata Moonlight! And the three events that have happened so far, all happened next to the piano."

Looking at the letter of entrustment in Maori Kogoro's hand, Maori Ran couldn't help but think of another question, "Wait, wait a minute, this letter only says that the shadows are starting to disappear, but it doesn't say how many shadows will disappear!"

"That's right. The phrase 'beginning to disappear' in the letter doesn't mean it's the end!"

Conan nodded, confirming Mao Lilan's guess, "So, the shadows in the letter began to disappear again, which is a hint that when the Moonlight Sonata sounds again, someone will die! And, more than one person!"

In other words, this is a serial murder case, and the death of Hideo Kawashima is not the end, but the beginning!
Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's pupils shrank suddenly, "Could it be? This murder drama will have a sequel? Will there be another case on this island?"

"Ok!"

Conan nodded seriously.

After confirming that his guess was very likely, Kogoro Mori's mood instantly became unsettled.

"You guys go back to the hotel first, I want to go to the community center!"

After saying that, without waiting for Mao Lilan and others to reply, he ran towards the community center.

"Wait a minute... Dad..."

Mao Li Ran was about to reach out to stop him, but unfortunately, Mao Li Kogoro had already run far away.

Seeing the worried look on Mao Lilan's face, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Xiao Lan, how about we go over and take a look together?"

Naturally, Maori Ran and Conan had no objection to this, so the three of them chased in the direction where Maori Kogoro left.

……

Public office.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri and others coming again, the old policeman was speechless, especially after hearing their request to stay in the government office tonight, he was even more speechless.

Unfortunately, she was no match for them, so she had no choice but to carry some bedding to the piano room. When she came in, she was still complaining, "I really don't know what you are thinking. You actually want to spend a night here with a corpse, and with a child. I don't know how to say hello to you!"

Let alone him, Maori Kogoro couldn't help but complain to Bai Ye and the other three in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you guys to go back to the hotel and rest first?"

He doesn't care where he lives, but he doesn't want his daughter to suffer such injustice.

After exchanging a glance with Mao Lilan, Bai Ye replied with a smile: "We are also worried about you, Uncle Mao Li, and we also want to find out the truth of this murder case!"

"That's it!"

Kogoro Mori nodded, accepting this statement.

After all, the people were already here, so it would be difficult for him to send them back.

You know, the murderer who killed Kawashima Hideo has not been arrested yet. If Bai Ye and others meet the murderer on their way back and then encounter danger, he will probably regret it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Maori Kogoro was about to say something else when he noticed that the body of Kawashima Hideo, who was lying on the cursed piano in the room, had been moved down. He immediately couldn't help but complain, "By the way! Who moved the body so casually?"

Damn it! He just casually touched the crime scene. Isn’t this causing trouble for his work?
The old policeman said confidently, "Of course it's me! If he keeps that posture, even the Buddha would feel pity for him!"

Maori Kogoro really couldn't do anything to him. After all, the other party was already old, and it was not easy for a young man like him to blame an old man. Moreover, Kawashima Hideo's body had been moved down, so even if he wanted to blame him, it was too late. He could only hold his forehead awkwardly and continued to complain in a low voice: "It's really a headache! There is no way to verify the scene!"

What’s going on with this old man?
As a policeman, he didn't even know how to protect the crime scene, and he actually moved the victim's body and destroyed the crime scene.

Is the other person really a policeman? Or has he forgotten his police instincts and professional abilities because of his age?
While Kogoro Mouri was speechless because of the old policeman's "wise" operation, Conan made a new discovery.

"Strange, where is the sheet music? Why is it gone?"

Conan stood on the stool in front of the piano, ready to look at the previous music score again, but was surprised to find that the music score was gone.

"what?"

Hearing Conan's words, Kogoro Mouri was shocked and immediately ran over to check. He found that the music score that was clearly on the piano at the time of the crime had disappeared.

"I don't think the paper is missing, look!"

Just when Kogoro Mouri and Conan were looking everywhere for the missing music score, the old policeman took out the music score from his arms and showed it to everyone happily.

Seeing him like this, Maori Kogoro became even more worried. He looked at him helplessly and said, "Old man, if you destroy the crime scene like this, it's still a question how many traces will be left behind!"

Originally, he still had many questions that he had not figured out about this murder case.

For example, the identity of the murderer and his method of committing the crime.

As a result, a certain old policeman is still destroying the crime scene, which undoubtedly adds unnecessary trouble to his detective work and may even cause him to miss some important clues and never be able to solve this murder case.

Wait, could this old policeman in front of me be thinking about this?
Could it be that the other party is actually the real culprit behind this murder?
