Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 62 Piano Room
"What's wrong, Dr. Asai?"

"Well, most of the people in the village seem to be wary of Aso Keiji's situation. If possible, please try not to mention this to them?
Also, Aso Keiji didn't leave nothing behind. There's a piano room in the village office, and the piano there is the one Aso Keiji used when he performed abroad.

"Okay, thank you very much, Dr. Asai." Tachibana Shizuka nodded honestly to Asai and left the clinic.

"Ju, you've also noticed something strange, right?" After leaving the clinic, they just walked aimlessly in the village.

After the clinic was out of their sight, Hattori Heiji couldn't wait to share it with Tachibana Shizuka.

Toyama Kazuha strongly condemned Hattori Taira's behavior of only having eyes for Tachibana Shizuka: "What's wrong with that? Doctor Asai is such a kind person. She even invited us here to answer your questions!"

At a time like this, Hattori Heiji's emotional intelligence must have been zero. After hearing what Toyama Kazuha said, he immediately chose to refute: "That's exactly why it's strange. Hey, Tachibana, you must have seen it, right?"

Tachibana Shizuka naturally saw it, or rather, he gained a lot from following Asai Makoto to the clinic this time.

For example, he discovered that his insightful moments allowed him to see through Asai Makoto's disguise, and through various details he analyzed that Asai Makoto was a man.

This discovery was quite a surprise to Tachibana Shizuka.

Because although Asai Makoto can still be considered the T0 version in the casual wear world, after the appearance of Kaito Kidd and Vermouth, he will be relegated to the second line and weakened.

Another thing is the use of moments of insight. Previously, Tachibana Shizuka's use of moments of insight was more inclined towards the visual level.

But this time, Moment of Insight also gave a lot of positive feedback when Asai spoke honestly.

For example.

"There are indeed many suspicious points. Although Asai Makoto claims to be from Tokyo, he seems to be a little too familiar with the situation on Tsukikage Island.

The Aso Keiji incident happened twelve years ago, but she knew some details. Combined with her instructions to us before leaving, since the villagers on the island were reluctant to mention the Aso Keiji incident twelve years ago.

So how did she, as an outsider, know these things?"

"That's right!" Hattori Heiji nodded happily. She said that Tachibana Shizuka was a good candidate for a detective role. "And she specifically mentioned the piano room in the village office. I felt like she was deliberately leading us there to check out the piano."

Both Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji could notice that Asai Makoto seemed to be in an extremely contradictory state.

In this state, Asai Makoto's "performance" was absolutely below par. Considering the level of his disguise, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji's analysis gradually made the three girls understand. After listening, Sonoko asked thoughtfully:

"So, there's something fishy about Aso Keiji's death twelve years ago?"

"There is a problem, and it's quite serious." Tachibana Seiji nodded and acknowledged Sonoko's assessment. "The most important point is, why did Aso Keiji kill his wife and daughter before he 'set himself on fire' twelve years ago?"

"Maybe they have a bad relationship?" This was Yuanshan Heye's subconscious reaction.

"wrong."

"In a village like this, if a couple is very loving, they will most likely not appear in the villagers' conversation.

But if their relationship wasn't harmonious, with constant arguments and even physical violence, then rumors would surely spread throughout the village. Asai Makoto knew even such a secret from twelve years ago, so if Aso Keiji was having trouble with his wife and daughter, she would surely know too.

But we just talked for so long, did you hear her mention even one word about Aso Keiji's family problems?"

"Does that mean our investigation has returned to the starting point?" Xiaolan felt a little strange. Why did their investigation always return to the starting point recently?
The same thing happened when investigating her father, and when investigating the pianist on Moon Shadow Island. Could they really be cursed by some origin spirit?

"No, of course not. In fact, Dr. Asai did give us a hint." Tachibana Seiji explained gently to Xiaolan.

"Eh?"

"The piano room in the village office!" x2
Tachibana Shizuka and Hattori Heiji said in unison.

"That's the next stop for our investigation," Hattori Heiji said confidently. He believed that with the help of him and Tachibana Shizuka, they would definitely find something in the village office.
.
On the way, they asked a random villager for directions and arrived at the village office. When the staff learned that they were tourists, they warmly welcomed them.

After all, the tourism industry in Yueying Island is almost non-existent, and they are still counting on Jingsi Ju and others to go back and help promote their Yueying Island to the people around them.

To this, Tachibana Shizuka agreed with a smile on his face.

Before his rebirth, Tachibana Shizuka might not have had much ability, but after training in sales positions, he still knows how to speak differently to different people.

After all, in this life on the Moon Shadow Island where the people are simple and honest, the staff of the village office probably wouldn't believe that the high school student in front of them could talk nonsense with him seriously.

After just a few words, Tachibana Shizuka and his friends were qualified to visit the village office.

Originally, the staff wanted to enthusiastically take them on a tour, but was persuaded by Tachibana Shizuka that it would be bad to let him leave his post.

Before returning to their posts, the staff of the village office enthusiastically introduced the various areas inside the village office to Tachibana Shizuka.

"Let's go, the piano room is inside, we need to move quickly." The enthusiasm of the staff made Tachibana Jingsi think that there are no good people among the senior management of Yueying Island.

The village chief, the richest man, and the village chief's secretary are all birds of a feather.

These rare "outsiders" might attract their attention, but fortunately, their identity as high school students is a reliable protective color.

As long as Hattori Heiji doesn't reveal his identity as a detective, and Tachibana Shizuka walks at the end of the team and touches the hard object on his lower back.

If there really is an accident, they are not completely powerless to fight back.

"This is the piano room that Doctor Asai mentioned." Hattori Heiji took the lead in opening the door of the piano room and walked into the room.

The piano room in the village office is locked, but is that too difficult for Hattori Heiji? As a detective, it's reasonable for him to have some lock-picking skills.

The piano room is located on the edge of the village office. From the window, you can see the beach and hear the sound of the waves. But to be honest, this environment is not very conducive to the maintenance of the piano.

"Would you like to try playing it?" Hattori Heiji walked around the piano a few times and didn't find anything unusual on the surface of the piano, so he asked tentatively.
