I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

It's just that I'm using a disguised identity at this time, so I can't ask directly.

……

In a room on the second floor of the hotel, Megure, his right-hand men, Takagi, and Chiba were sitting around.

Spread out in the middle are pieces of information about Moon Shadow Island.

"According to the confession of Hideharu Tsugawa, who was previously arrested, the source of those goods was this island."

"The most suspicious person is the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji."

"The richest man on the island, this time's candidate for village chief, Hideo Kawashima."

"Vagrant, Ken Nishimoto."

"And the former village chief, Kameda Isamu, who died of a sudden heart attack two years ago."

"According to the investigation, what the four people have in common is that they all received wealth from unknown sources."

"It's probably the money gained from selling that kind of goods."

Takagi held his own notebook and reported the current situation responsibly.

"Then the biggest problem now is..."

Mu Mu suddenly fell silent.

Since the arrest of the library director Hideharu Tsugawa a few days ago, after continuous interrogation, they finally asked the source of the goods from the cruel director who was about to lose his mind.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Mumu personally took action and brought a few of his men to the island disguised as tourists to conduct investigations secretly, while the remaining people were on standby at any time.

But as we all know, the Metropolitan Police Department pays attention to evidence when handling cases.

Although they had a suspect, Mumu and others were suffering from the lack of evidence and didn't know what to do next.

The policewoman was also silent.

But she was not thinking about her next move, but about another thing.

The god of death appeared out of nowhere, led her to Mihua Library, and disappeared again.

Even though two major cases of murder and drug trafficking were solved as a result, Miwako Sato still felt strange.

After discussing for a long time, no effective method was found. Seeing that it was getting dark, Mu Mu could only let a few people go back to their rooms to rest.

If that didn't work, he could only apply for a search warrant from above, and then conduct a blanket search at the suspects' homes.

……

At night, the public hall of Yueying Island is brightly lit.

The hall in the museum was decorated as a mourning hall, and in the center of the hall, there was a large photo of the deceased.

It belonged to the former village chief.

Tomorrow is the second anniversary of the death of the former village chief Kameyama, and a memorial ceremony will be held at the public hall.

After all, the death of the former village chief was very tragic at first. Even though it was confirmed that he died of a heart attack, it still made the villagers panic.

Several rituals were held to exorcise evil spirits.

Shinichi disguised himself as a staff member who came to help arrange the scene, and successfully sneaked into the public hall.

He came here because he learned that several village chief candidates would appear here tonight to help win over the people.

This is a great opportunity to investigate.

The first thing Shinichi discovered was Masato Shimizu, the candidate for the No. [-] village chief, who was born as a fisherman.

Mr. Fisherman, who looked very loyal in appearance, and several staff members moved chairs and decorated the mourning hall, as if they were doing it themselves.

Since he had nothing to do with Keiji Aso, Shinichi simply observed and then changed his target.

Unlike Mr. Fisherman, the other two village chief candidates, the current village chief, Bald Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and the richest man on the island, Kawashima Hideo, are sitting in the same room chatting, with no intention of going out to help.

Quietly arriving outside the room, Shinichi leaned against the window, relying on his extraordinary hearing to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two in the room.

Seize the villagers' land?

No wonder we saw villagers demonstrating against the current village chief before.

Polluting the ocean?

Suddenly, I felt that the seafood I just ate was no longer so fragrant.

Spend money to buy votes?

As expected of a rich man, no wonder the support rate is so high.

After listening to all the strange things for a long time, Shinichi still didn't get the news he wanted.

Just when he was about to leave the public hall and visit the clinic of the cross-dressing man, a few words from the village chief's secretary who walked into the room made him interested.

Piano?

Avoiding the sight of others, Shinichi walked into a large room facing the sea in the public hall.

There was only an old piano in the huge room, which seemed extremely empty.

It is said that this piano was played during Keiji Aso's last performance before his death. The former village chief Isamu Kameda also suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed on this piano.

The villagers called it the cursed piano.

Even a deceased person has to hold several rituals to rectify his death, but he still keeps an unknown piano and never throws it away.

To Shinichi, this was like telling him that there was something wrong with the piano.

Recalling what the village chief's secretary had said before, Shinichi groped under the piano and found a hidden compartment.

It was filled with familiar white goods.

After confirmation, the new piano returned to its original state and left the public hall.

He already had some rough guesses about the death of Keiji Aso 12 years ago, but he was still not sure about some aspects.

More importantly, it was obviously a matter of investigating the cause of death, so why was it inexplicably related to these goods?

It was the same last time at Mihua Library.

These things must not be left out, and Shinichi himself is not very good at handling them.

Then there is only one answer.

Although I don’t know what you are doing here, I can only trouble you to work overtime.

Shinichi silently apologized to Officer Megure in his heart.

Chapter 85 Your friend Mihua Death is online

　　"The air on this island is really good, especially at night."

Carrying bread, drinks and other food, Takagi couldn't help but sigh as he walked back to the hotel.

Compared with big cities like Tokyo, Tsukikage Island looks more like a legendary paradise.

"Yes."

Chiba, who was accompanying him, nodded in agreement, and then continued to eat the seafood sushi in his hand.

Although Officer Megure asked them to rest, as a criminal police officer and on duty, how could he really sleep until dawn?

Naturally, after several people arranged the order of the vigil, Takagi and Chiba went out to buy supper.

"I don't know if there will be any progress in this case tomorrow. I always feel that this island is weird."

Takagi felt this way mainly because when he was collecting intelligence during the day, he heard from the island residents about the fire that killed Aso Keiji 12 years ago and the death scene of the former village chief Isamu Kameda two years ago.

Of course, the stories told by the residents are all rumors that have passed through their brains over the years and become very mysterious.

Because of the Mihua Library case a few days ago, according to the autopsy report, the person shot and killed by Tsugawa Hideji should have been strangled to death before, and there were many contusions on the 803 body.

Moreover, Tsugawa Hideharu, the murderer, kept shouting that "the body has moved" and so on.

From then on, the entire Metropolitan Police Department became a little suspicious.

"No problem, I will protect you!"

Compared to Takagi, who is less confident, Chiba appears to be much more reliable.

As an otaku, he always firmly believes that supernatural things only exist in the Two-dimensional, and reality is impossible.

As he spoke, he gave half of the seafood sushi to Takagi.

"Uh, thank you."

To be honest, Takagi blushed for a moment, but it was quickly covered up.

At the same time, I felt a little ashamed in my heart. As a criminal police officer, how could I be affected by such weird rumors?

After taking the sushi handed over by Chiba, Takagi was about to stuff it into his mouth when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of his eye.

Turning his head to look, he trembled. The sushi in his hand slipped quietly and fell to the ground.

"It's not good to waste food, why are you doing this!"

Qian (bada) Ye, who has always cherished food, frowned and scolded her when she saw this scene.

"That, that..."

Takagi, however, had no intention of confessing to his good friend.

He stretched out a finger tremblingly, his mouth was trembling, and he kept repeating one word.

"what?"

Not knowing why, Chiba stuffed the remaining sushi into his mouth and looked in the direction of Takagi's finger.

"Ugh! Ahem! Death!"

This sight almost made him choke to death on the rice grains in his mouth.

Under the streetlight at the end of the road, a figure in black kimono was standing there quietly. The white on his face looked particularly strange under the dim light.

The familiar appearance was exactly the same as the one described in Sato Miwako's report a few days ago.

But doesn’t he only appear in Mihua?Why are you here on Moon Shadow Island?And what is this intended to do?
