"Kawashima, that detective from Tokyo, did you hire him to investigate me?"
Village Chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji finally couldn't help but ask. Ever since the previous village chief, Kameyama Isamu, died, this guy had become his biggest rival. Shimizu Masato lacked a solid foundation and didn't have enough money, so he was no match for him at all.
So the only person he cared about was this guy.
Hideo Kawashima sneered, "That's not true at all. I'm going to the restroom," and walked straight outside.
Little did he know that once he left, he would never have the chance to return.
Instead of going to the restroom, he went to the piano room in the corner of the community center, the place where the so-called cursed piano was located.
"Hmph, come out now. You told me before that you had something important to tell me about Keiji Aso. Hurry up and tell me, I don't have much time right now."
A figure slowly emerged from behind the piano, completely shrouded in darkness. He smiled slightly, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"You've said a lot, and I definitely should hurry up!"
"Whoohoo-"
Although he had already made up his mind, he was still very excited at this moment, after all, a fresh life had just been completely ended by his own hands!
Using a clever trick, he quickly pulled the already drowned Hideo Kawashima from the sea and placed him on the piano, feeling a surge of satisfaction.
"Father and mother, and now another enemy has died, so there are two left!"
He clenched his teeth tightly, but his voice still carried a soft, feminine quality.
"The remaining two should be Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken, right?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it sounded like thunder to my ears.
"We've been discovered! Kill them!"
Having just committed murder, he was now in a bloodthirsty rage. Upon hearing these words, he realized that his actions had been discovered, and instinctively attacked.
His slender figure, like a small cheetah, attacked the approaching person with surprising speed.
However, this swift attack was easily blocked by an arm. The moment his arms made contact with the opponent's arm, an indescribable feeling came over him.
It was as if the arm was not resting on flesh and blood, but on a blade; the opponent's arm was like a real blade.
The moment the opponent braced his arm, the blade was already drawn. His body jolted, and he staggered back four or five steps, nearly losing his balance.
"Your freestyle fighting skills are quite good. If you didn't have this level of combat ability, it wouldn't have been easy to quickly defeat Kawashima Hideo, would it? Dr. Asai Makoto?"
Only when the light and shadow revealed the true faces of the two people did the attack come from Asai Makoto, and the one who blocked his attack was Miyazaki Yu!
Miyazaki Yu looked at the cross-dressing master with a smile, while Asai Makoto's face was full of shock.
"I've trained hard for years to avenge my enemies, just so I could quickly eliminate them. How could you possess such strength and know everything so soon? Who exactly are you?"
At this moment, a storm was raging within him.
He has four enemies: former village chief Kameyama Isamu, current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, capitalist Kawashima Hideo, and former wealthy man Nishimoto Ken.
These four people are all his enemies!
However, the whole incident was very complicated, and it took him many years to gradually uncover the truth.
Moreover, Kameyama Isamu died of a heart attack caused by excessive shock after learning his identity, while Kawashima Hideo was the first person he personally killed.
This person only just arrived on Moonshadow Island today, yet he was able to detect my actions. This person is far more terrifying than I imagined!
Of course, she didn't know that there is such a thing as foresight in this world. Miyazaki Yu knew the answer in advance. If that weren't the case, it would be extremely difficult to find her as the real culprit.
Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "As I said before, my name is Miyazaki Yu. You have many questions, and I also have some things I want to talk to you about. Tonight, Mr. Mori will be staying here, and then we will have time to discuss them in detail."
He then walked towards the door, leaving behind Asai Makoto, who was trembling all over.
"Where exactly did things go wrong? What exactly happened?"
He is not afraid of death. He has suffered too much since childhood, becoming an orphan and being adopted. Now that his adoptive parents are dead, he is all alone. The only thing that sustains him now is the hatred in his heart.
But then suddenly a person appeared who not only saw through his plan but was also incredibly powerful. What could he do if such a person tried to stop him from taking revenge?
There's no turning back now; there's only one path left to take!
He quickly dealt with the scene, then turned on a pre-prepared tape recorder, carefully pressed the play button through his sleeve, and soon the famous song "Moonlight Sonata" would be played here again, and those bastards would feel fear once more!
After a while, the people in the hall suddenly heard music playing. Everyone was stunned, but then, everyone trembled.
Anyone who has lived on the island for more than a decade will feel an overwhelming sense of fear at this moment.
"It's 'Moonlight Sonata,' the cursed piano is being played once again!"
Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken's faces immediately lost all color, turning as pale as if they were dead.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji murmured, "He's back!"
Chapter 158 Conan at a loss
Then things unfolded exactly as they did in the original timeline.
Conan reacted the fastest, rushing in first and seeing Kawashima Hideo's soaking wet body.
Kogoro Mouri reacted quickly, telling Ran to find the police on the island and call the police. He also asked Makoto Asai, who had also appeared at the same time, to examine the body.
It's quite an interesting thing to have the murderer perform an autopsy on the victim.
After a perfunctory autopsy, Makoto Asai revealed his deductions.
"The time of death was between thirty minutes and an hour ago, and the cause of death should be asphyxiation. Without an autopsy, I cannot make a definitive statement."
Then Conan used his reasoning skills to deduce what had happened.
The murderer took Mr. Kawashima to the beach and drowned him during the religious ceremony, then dragged his body to this room, locked the door, turned on a pre-prepared tape recorder, and went out into the corridor.
Kogoro Mouri, having received a hint from Conan, made his own judgment. Since the place was close to the sea, the culprit had locked it from the inside, while everyone had been staying in the entrance hall, which meant that the culprit could not have escaped from the sea.
The only way to leave is to re-enter the community center, which means the murderer is still among the people!
This conclusion surprised everyone, and they looked at each other in bewilderment. Then, they began a textbook-perfect exchange of blame. The village chief, Kuroiwa, tried to shift the suspicion to another competitor, Shimizu Masato, in a sarcastic tone.
As Kogoro continued to question them, he discovered the sheet music hidden on the piano lid, namely the staff notation for "Moonlight Sonata". This discovery caused Ken Nishimoto, who was already terrified and on edge, to break down completely and run outside screaming.
The entire religious ceremony had to be temporarily suspended due to the sudden murder, and everyone dispersed with heavy hearts.
Kogoro Mouri, who was originally supposed to go to a hotel, decided to stay at the community center for the night after hearing Conan's discovery. Ran had no choice but to follow him and decided to stay there with Kogoro for the night.
"I'm so sorry, Xiaoyu. I thought we were just going out to have fun, but I never expected something like this to happen. Now I'm even dragging you into staying in this kind of place."
Xiaolan looked at the corpse that had been placed in a body bag in the distance, her eyes filled with apology.
Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Ran, don't forget, I am a sword master. For me, even if I don't sleep for several days in a row, there will be no problem. Even cultivating all night is commonplace for me. I don't think there is anything wrong with this place."
We should also support Uncle Mori's discovery. If we find the murderer, that would be a great achievement.
Kogoro chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I knew you were the most reliable kid. I admire outstanding young people like you. You won't suffer if you stay by my side. Although you're already a swordsman, your reasoning skills are still lacking. I'll train you properly!"
Conan couldn't help but complain from the side.
"This uncle is quite the talker. Miyazaki Yu is not only incredibly strong, but also has amazing insight. You can see his abilities from some of the things that happened before. This incident is very complicated, and I don't have many clues right now. I wonder if he has noticed anything?"
Just then, Miyazaki Yu's expression suddenly turned serious. He leaped to the window and looked out, only to see a dark figure hurriedly leaving.
Kogoro Mouri chuckled and said, "I knew it! Someone really does want to come back for this piece of music. Now let's examine it and see what the problem is."
So he had Ran try playing the score, but after several attempts, they still couldn't find anything, which made Kogoro and Conan both deep in thought.
"There's nothing wrong with it; it's the actual score for Moonlight Sonata, without any changes, so it's impossible for it to hide any information. This doesn't match my deduction."
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful figure walked in. It was Asai Makoto, who brought everyone a late-night snack.
It was only then that Kogoro Mouri realized that he had been busy for most of the day and was starving.
Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Dr. Asai is so thoughtful and gentle. I've also prepared some food. Although it's all cold food, it'll fill my stomach. I'll take it out too."
As he spoke, he took out a number of lunch boxes from his large backpack, which were filled with a lot of food and bento boxes, making Kogoro and Ran Mouri's eyes light up.
"I knew you were clever, you even brought food, that's great."
Makoto Asai was stunned by what he saw. Just what kind of person was this young man?
Although they only had a brief interaction, the shock he brought to me was like a resounding bell, violently impacting my heart.
She felt a deep fear of him, but his actions were strange. He knew he was the murderer, but he didn't say it. Instead, he pretended not to know anything.
And I just made another discovery, which is that sheet music.
That sheet music was a clue I deliberately left behind; it was part of my plan. I wanted to leave a clue so that the famous detective would stop my actions. The clue was hidden within the sheet music.
But this Mori detective just said that the sheet music is the original. What's going on? That sheet music wasn't something he left behind!
After eating and drinking their fill, Miyazaki Yu volunteered to keep watch, allowing everyone to sleep peacefully. Kogoro was naturally overjoyed; after a long day, all he wanted to do was sleep.
This kid is full of energy and could stay up all night without any problem, so he readily agreed. Ran was very grateful and went back home. Conan originally wanted to observe him for a while.
But now there are almost no clues, many people are suspicious, and he has no way to help them. This sense of powerlessness makes him resentful.
After lying down, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier until I finally fell asleep completely.
Outside the piano hall, the sound of waves gently surged, and the moonlight in the sky was cold and clear, adding to the chill.
Miyazaki Yu stood side by side with Asai Makoto, and he sighed deeply.
"Twelve years ago, my parents were killed by those four people on this very island."
Miyazaki Yu said calmly, "So this is your reason for killing people? I roughly understand what happened. Kameyama Isamu must have been so frightened after learning your identity that he died, right?"
Makoto Asai sighed, then spoke in disbelief.
"I still don't understand. I've only just made my move, and the whole plan is perfect. You shouldn't have been able to detect it, but you seem to be looking down on me from the sky, seeing everything I do clearly. How did you do that?"
Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly. Of course, he already knew the answer, but for him now, there were indeed other methods.
"This matter is complicated, but it's actually quite simple. I've discovered two flaws in you, two flaws that ordinary people wouldn't be able to find, flaws that only someone like me could discover."
Chapter 159 Talent Recruitment Plan
"Two flaws? We've only known each other for a few minutes in total, and you've already found two flaws in me?"
Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "Actually, it can't be called a flaw. You are naturally slender and delicate with a well-proportioned frame, almost indistinguishable from a girl. But a man is a man. The moment I saw you, I realized that you are not a girl, but a boy."
