Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 635 "Moonlight" Second Movement

"What! That is to say..."

When Gao Yuan and others told the truth about Asai Narumi to Mori Kogoro, Kogoro couldn't help being stunned on the spot, unable to calm down the shock in his heart for a long time.

Afterwards, when Kogoro finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter in his mind, Kogoro couldn't help looking at Narumi Asai at the side, and asked in surprise:

"So, this strange entrustment letter and that phone call are actually Miss Chengshi..."

"Yes, it is……"

Slightly apologetic, Asai Narumi bowed slightly to Kogoro:

"I'm so sorry..."

"No! Miss Cheng Shi, you don't need to apologize! The ones who should pay the price are those scumbags who killed your father!"

However, before Asai Chengmi finished speaking, Kogoro stepped forward and took Asai Chengmi's hand, showing a neat and unrestrained expression, and said deeply:

"Don't worry, I, Detective Mori Kogoro, will not tolerate those guys who ruined your family, and will definitely seek justice for you!"

Seeing this, watching Kogoro's attitude change so quickly, both Gao Yuan and Conan couldn't help giving Kogoro a blank look, and at the same time worried that he would mess things up if he was acting so positively now , but if I don’t tell him, I’m worried that he’ll be a disservice to me...

Forget it, I still have to believe in the quality of this former criminal policeman in this kind of matter, at least in this kind of big right and wrong, Kogoro's sense of justice is trustworthy.

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan stepped forward at this moment and interrupted Kogoro who was courting Asai Narumi——

"In short, the current situation is not optimistic. Although we now know who the sender of this entrustment letter that seems to announce the imminent serial killings is, it does not help the current incident at all. After all, the sender's behavior has been blocked..."

Gao Yuan was very helpless, and said so.

"Well...then according to what you said..."

Regarding this, Kogoro began to analyze it with a serious expression, and then seemed to think of something, suddenly he clenched his fist with one hand and knocked on the palm of his other hand, and said as if he knew the truth:

"No mistake! Nishimoto Ken committed suicide!"

"what?"

Hearing Kogoro's words with such certainty, Takato and Conan both looked horrified and puzzled, while Jinguji Reito was looking forward to hearing Kogoro's explanation.

So, thinking of himself, even if no one asked about it, Kogoro explained with a proud face:
"Hmph! I don't think you have noticed that Mr. Nishimoto looks extremely thin for such a tall figure. I think if I am not mistaken, Nishimoto must be an out-and-out drug addict.

"Today, the reason why he died in the piano room of the activity center should be because he was addicted to drugs during the ceremony, so in order to hide from others, he had to go out and find a place to take illegal drugs, so he So he chose to hide in that piano room. However, it may be that he couldn't bear it anymore and suffered great mental torture, so he accidentally took an overdose of illegal drugs! And it was this overdose Illegal drugs, this is what killed him, so in theory, Ken Nishimoto is..."

"But... what about the container for prohibited drugs?"

Before Kogoro could finish speaking, Gao Yuan voiced his objection:
"If it is said that Mr. Nishimoto died as a result of taking an overdose of prohibited drugs in the piano room, then what did he use to contain the prohibited drugs? Where did the container that contained the prohibited drugs go after Mr. Nishimoto's death? "

"Forehead……"

Facing the question raised by Gao Yuan, Kogoro was speechless for a while, his face was embarrassed for a while, he didn't know how to continue the sentence——

"In short, this incident must be related to the smuggling of illegal drugs on the island. It is absolutely correct. Then we only need to investigate Heiyan and that Kawashima who were engaged in illegal drug smuggling before, and we will definitely find out the cause of Nishimoto's death. the truth!"

Immediately, Kogoro couldn't help but change his words, leading the topic to Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo.

"However, compared to this right now, why don't you go to the piano room and investigate carefully? I think, if you investigate the opening of that piano carefully, you should find something... Ah! It hurts!"

While Conan was muttering analysis, the displeased Kogoro suddenly punched Conan on the head, and said with some dissatisfaction:
"Children, don't interrupt at this time! Come back to me!"

"Well……"

Regarding this, Conan covered his head in depression, gave Kogoro a slight look, and hid behind Narumi Asai with a helpless expression——

"Speaking of which, does that piano really have a so-called opening? After all, it was something they used to transport prohibited drugs more than ten years ago. Since the death of Keiji Aso, this piano has lost its use value, right?"

Kogoro asked suspiciously.

"This is..."

Hearing this question, Reito Jinguji couldn't help feeling that what Kogoro said was reasonable, but Gao Yuan said:

"That opening should still exist! And, I think that person should at least know the secret of the piano!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Faced with Gao Yuan's sudden words, this made Kogoro and Jinguji a little puzzled. They didn't know who the person Gao Yuan mentioned was——

"It's the current village chief's secretary——Hirata Kazuaki!"

Gao Yuan said bluntly:
"Don't you think that Hirata Kazuaki reacted too abnormally to the curse of the piano?"

Based on his memory of the original work, Gao Yuan said with certainty——

After all, if I remember correctly, although the original work did not say whether the other four people were still smuggling illegal drugs overseas after the death of Keiji Aso 12 years ago, it was still specified at the end of the plot that among the four people In addition, Hirata Kazuaki, the secretary of the current village chief, has been using the opening of that piano recently to trade prohibited drugs with Hideo Kawashima.

Moreover, if the plot of the original work is followed, after the first homicide on the island, the dark shadow who secretly watched the community center at night was actually Kazuaki Hirata. The illegal drugs that were hidden in the opening of the piano that no one had discovered and had not had time to take away were taken away.

According to this analysis, the person who jumped into the sea just now may be Hirata Kazuaki...

"He deliberately talked about the 'cursed piano'. When we first entered the piano room and wanted to touch the piano, he repeatedly emphasized this point and tried every means to stop our behavior... I don't think his behavior seems to be deliberately hiding. what the hell?"

Gao Yuan continued.

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Asai Chengshi couldn't help but think:
"If you say that, it seems true... the legend of the piano curse on the island came out after the death of Isamu Kameyama two years ago, and the person who first discovered the death of Isamu Kameyama and started to spread the curse of the piano was the secretary Hirata He Ming..."

"What! So then!"

In this regard, Kogoro also realized the problem——

"He may be deliberately spreading rumors of a 'cursed piano' so that people on the island are afraid to approach the piano...so that no one will find out that there is an opening in the piano..."

Jinguji Lingren also understood Gao Yuan's meaning, and then hurriedly said:
"In this case, let's go and have a look at that piano. After seeing it, we will know the truth of the matter. Besides, with regard to Nishimoto Ken's death, aren't we going to investigate the scene carefully?"

Everyone agreed with this one after another, but Kogoro reminded in a bad way when he saw the situation:
"Well...that being said, I'm going to say something ugly, the scene has already been destroyed by that old policeman who is a complete layman, I'm afraid it's very difficult..."

Before he finished speaking, at this moment, the sound of a piano playing, but at this moment, came from a distance——

And that tune is the second movement of "Moonlight"!
