The old man was very angry.

"What's going on! Who's playing the piano!"

"Why does this song sound familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

"Wait! There is indeed a piano in the community center, but..."

Kuroiwa's male secretary Hirata seemed to have thought of something, and his expression instantly became extremely panic. Seeing this, the village chief Kuroiwa scolded him angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it quickly! It's so annoying to be so slow!"

"A... Aso Keiji... The piano room in the community center is the piano that Mr. Aso used at the concert before his death!"

"What did you say!"

Kuroiwa and other villagers on Yueying Island were shocked when they heard this!

"Where is that piano room? Tell me!"

Compared to the panicked villagers of Tsukikage Island, Kogoro, an outsider, was much calmer. He grabbed Hirata's secretary and asked about the piano room.

"I... I... I'll lead the way."

Frightened by Kogoro, Hirata regained his composure and led Kogoro and his group to the piano room. Moonlight was still playing, and it stopped abruptly at the end of the first chapter.

"Bang!"

Kogoro pushed the piano room door open with a bang. The next moment, the scene in the piano room appeared in front of everyone. Kawashima, who had left to go to the toilet, was now lying on the piano with his whole body wet. The expression on his face could be described as a death wish.

"Curse... Curse! It's Keiji Aso's curse! He's back! Ah!!!"

A decadent middle-aged man in the crowd saw this scene and immediately let out a piercing scream, and then ran away without looking back.

"Xiaolan, call the police!"

"Yes!"

She skillfully took out her phone and called the police. About an hour later, Officer Megure arrived by boat with his men, and then began a series of work including the autopsy.

After tying the body bag and letting the police take it away, Officer Megure then read out the information he had at hand: "The deceased's name is Kawashima Hideo, he is 57 years old this year, and the cause of death was drowning by being pushed into the sea water by external force. According to the current investigation results of our police, the sea water that drowned Mr. Kawashima came from the sea water flowing outside the community center."

After telling all the investigation results, Officer Megure slowly turned his eyes to Kogoro, and then said helplessly: "By the way, brother Mori, why did you appear at the crime scene again? How many times has this happened?"

Faced with Officer Megure's connotation, Kogoro scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Oh~ Maybe this is the fate of a detective, always appearing at the crime scene in time."

"Alas, I feel more like you are entangled by the god of death. Go back and find a master to take a good look."

After shaking his head and sighing, Officer Megure immediately walked out of the piano room. "Let's record other people's statements first and see what clues we can find."

"Officer Megure, wait a minute! I'll go with you!"

Just like that, Kogoro followed Officer Megure out of the piano room, and not long after the piano room returned to calm, Conan and Xiaolan walked in quietly.

Xiaolan said worriedly: "Shinichi, this is the crime scene, it's not good for us to come in like this, right?"

Conan smiled and took out his equipment: "Don't worry, I have prepared gloves and shoe covers, so don't worry about damaging the crime scene."

"I see, Shinichi, you are really thoughtful."

"It's okay."

After putting on gloves and shoe covers, Xiaolan and Conan officially entered the piano room, and Conan's attention was immediately attracted by the huge piano, and then he sat on the chair and began to look at the piano carefully.

Seeing Conan's actions, Xiaolan's expression suddenly became a little puzzled: "Shinichi, what are you going to do?"

Conan did not answer immediately, but gently pressed the keys, and the next moment beautiful notes popped out.

"This piano is not right."

After pressing several keys, Conan made a serious judgment on the piano.

Xiaolan still didn't understand for a while: "What's the problem? The notes played are obviously very accurate?"

Conan explained: "That's why it's not right. This piano model is the kind that needs regular tuning. If it has been left here for twelve years without being moved, the notes it plays will definitely not be so accurate."

Xiaolan

Ran suddenly realized what was going on when she heard this: "So Shinichi, you mean that someone is secretly tuning this piano?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Conan jumped down from the chair and began to tap gently around the piano. Finally, when he tapped the bottom of the piano, a hollow sound seemed so harsh.

[There is a secret compartment! ]

"Xiaolan, help me."

"Okay."

Xiaolan quickly lay down under the piano, and then successfully opened the secret compartment under the piano with a force, while Conan reached in and fumbled for a while, and instantly felt a granular touch.

"What is this?"

Pulling his hand back from the secret compartment, Conan saw a few white crystals similar to salt in his hand, and then put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and instantly a strong sense of stimulation came to his nose!

"Cough! It's D grade!"

"Shinichi, are you okay?"

Seeing Conan coughing violently, Xiaolan hurriedly patted Conan's back to help relieve it.

"What happened?"

Just then, Dr. Cheng Shi happened to pass by the piano room. After hearing the noise inside, he hurried in to ask.

Seeing Dr. Cheng Shi, Xiaolan subconsciously said: "Dr. Cheng Shi, you came at the right time. This piano..."

"This piano has so much dust. It choked me~"

Without waiting for Xiaolan to finish her words, Conan quickly grabbed Xiaolan's arm, and then complained like a child, while putting the secret compartment back as quickly as possible.

Although Xiaolan was somewhat puzzled by Conan's behavior, she still followed Conan's words reflexively: "Conan, you are really something. I told you not to touch the piano. You are such a disobedient child."

Conan apologized pitifully: "Sister Xiaolan, I know I was wrong."

"Okay, Xiaolan, don't blame Conan. Children of his age are at their most curious, so it's normal for him to do these things."

I don't know if Xiaolan and Conan cooperated too well, or if Dr. Chengshi was too naive. In short, Dr. Chengshi didn't doubt it at all, but instead excused Conan and spoke well of him.

After successfully getting through, Conan pretended to be casual and asked: "By the way, Dr. Chengshi, haven't the police officers gone to record their statements? Have you finished yet?"

Dr. Chengshi smiled and explained: "Not yet, because the police didn't have enough people, and I was at the end of the list, so I just went to the bathroom. Anyway, as long as I don't leave the community center during this period, it's fine."

"Is that so~"

Hearing Dr. Chengshi's explanation, Conan responded with a cute smile, but a barely noticeable light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.

At the same time, in the reception room of the Citizens' Observation

"Really! I'm really innocent! Can you believe me!"

At this moment, the decadent man who ran away crazily was excitedly telling Officer Megure that he was innocent. Because he was too excited, he even had to send two police officers to hold him down.

Officer Megure wiped the saliva from his face and patiently explained: "Calm down, Mr. Nishimoto. This is just a simple questioning. If you are really innocent, our police will naturally not embarrass you."

"Okay... I know..." Nishimoto lowered his head and grabbed his thigh tightly with a panic expression.

Seeing that Nishimoto finally calmed down, Officer Megure immediately began to ask questions: "First of all, I would like to ask Mr. Nishimoto to answer me, why did you run away screaming when you saw the body? Do you know anything?"

"Curse... Curse, it is Keiji Aso's curse... Two years ago, it was Kameyama, now it is Kawashima, and next..."

Just when Nishimoto was mumbling like he was possessed, the radio of the community center suddenly sounded, and the radio was playing "Moonlight"! But this time it was the song of the second chapter.
