The desire to show off suddenly disappeared.

"This wise young man is really amazing. He actually cracked the code." The old policeman who just walked in from the door praised. He walked to Ye Qiuxin and said, "I'm sorry, young man. I searched the entire warehouse for the sheet music you asked me to find, but I can't find it."

"It's okay. I've already guessed this possibility." Ye Qiuxin said shamelessly.

"Music score?" Conan came over immediately, "What music score are you talking about?"

"It's a piece of music score left behind by Keiji Aso. I clearly remember that it was placed in the warehouse of the community center, but I couldn't find it after searching for the whole afternoon. It was as if it was lost..." The old policeman scratched his head in confusion.

Conan blinked and suddenly realized that he was one step slower than Ye Qiuxin.

Why didn't he think of it? As the origin of everything, Keiji Aso should have a sheet music. But he just didn't think of it, while Ye Qiuxin had thought of it long ago and asked the policeman to find it.

Conan was confused.

Although this kind of situation where Ye Qiuxin was ahead happened more than once.

But whenever he encountered this kind of thing again, a deep sense of powerlessness would emerge from him.

The next second, Conan forced himself to cheer up again: "Old man, are you sure the music score is in the warehouse of the community center?"

"It must be there!"

"Okay then." Conan nodded. "Sister Xiaolan, please tell Uncle Maori and Inspector Megure about the code I just deciphered. Old man, I'll go with you to the warehouse to look for it again. We'll definitely find it this time."

"Hey, you really have to go look for it." Ye Qiuxin said.

The music score is now in his hands, and Conan will never be able to find it even if he searches for it in the warehouse of the community center for his entire life.

"Of course I have to go." Conan said firmly, "My intuition tells me that the music score left by Keiji Aso must have the answer to a series of events twelve years later!"

"Okay, then go ahead." Ye Qiuxin was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

"Okay, I support you, wise boy." The policeman said passionately, "Then let's look for it again!"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded heavily.

In fact, his idea is...

If he found this music score, he could win in one fell swoop and defeat Ye Qiuxin!

Conan and the old policeman left happily together.

At this time, Inspector Megure, Asai Narimi and others also returned to the first floor from the broadcasting room upstairs. Xiaolan immediately walked up to them and explained to them that Conan had cracked the codes of two music scores and went to the warehouse of the community center to look for information such as Aso Keiji's music scores.

"Can the resentment of sin be eliminated here?" Kogoro Mori thought, stroking his chin.

"So, does that mean these incidents have ended here, and no one will die next." Kuroiwa Reiko asked in panic, "Can we go home?"

Inspector Megure looked hesitant and undecided.

If it was a murder case, there would be no problem. But now there was a drug case. If they were allowed to go home, it might bring some trouble. But if they were not allowed to go home...

These people's emotions have been suppressed to the extreme, and they may do something desperate.

Miwako Sato looked at her cell phone. After a few seconds, she walked to Inspector Megure's ear and said something.

Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, looked at everyone and said, "Okay, you can go home now, but Miss Kuroiwa, for your safety, we need to send a few police officers to escort you home and stay near your home. I hope you don't refuse."

"Of course, of course..." Kuroiwa Reiko nodded quickly.

Her father's death had scared her, and she was more than happy to have the police come to protect her.

The people who were stranded at the scene left.

Nishimoto Ken ran the fastest, and Asai Narimi said goodbye to everyone and followed quietly.

Maori Kogoro walked up to Inspector Megure and asked in a low voice: "Inspector Megure, isn't it a bad idea to let them leave like this?"

"No way." Inspector Megure shook his head. "The number of people I brought is insufficient, and it is very difficult to catch all these drug dealers in one fell swoop. But Sato just told me that the reinforcements from the Metropolitan Police Department will arrive tomorrow, so it's better to let them go home temporarily and relax their vigilance.

"They also promised our police officers to monitor them, and tomorrow will be the official day to close the net."

Perhaps Hirata Kazuaki was initially threatened by Kuroiwa Tatsuji, so he wanted to take charge of all the affairs of the drug network by himself.

But as soon as the Kuroiwa village chief died, Hirata Kazuaki completely let down his guard and told the police officers present the entire drug operation network on Tsukikage Island. The scale was so huge and the numbers were so staggering that the police officers could hardly believe their ears.

After years of accumulation, the amount of the drug case on Yueying Island is now among the highest in Tokyo.

"Then I feel relieved." Kogoro Mori said with a heavy heart.

As soon as the case is over tomorrow, he will be able to take Xiaolan away from Yueying Island.

Chapter 135 Do Nothing

Inside the warehouse of the public hall.

Conan and the old policeman searched through cabinets and drawers for more than an hour, but they found nothing, just like they did during the day. It seemed that there had never been any music score.

"This is strange, it should be here." The old policeman was puzzled.

"Yes, the music score was here before." Conan touched his chin, frowning.

He believed that the policeman was right and that Aso Keiji's music score was in the warehouse of the community center. Because they had found the archives before and after Aso Keiji's death, but they could not find any trace of the music score.

Could it be that someone took the sheet music away?

Was it Kuroiwa Tatsuji or Kawashima Hideo? Or was it a collaboration between the two?

Given the current situation, even if you use your butt to think, you can understand that there must be something strange about the death of Keiji Aso's family twelve years ago.

The police are ready to reopen the case. Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo are the main suspects! If these two people were worried about being exposed, it is not impossible that they stole the music in advance.

No wonder Ye Qiuxin said he had guessed this possibility a long time ago.

"Alas..." Conan shook his head and sighed. It seemed that it was impossible to overtake others in the field of music scores.

The two walked out of the warehouse.

The old policeman locked the warehouse door.

At this moment, Conan suddenly had an idea. He thought that since he was already here, he might as well go to the piano room and take a look. Maybe he could get some new ideas and find the real culprit.

He ran to the door of the piano room, pushed it open, and the things in the room came into his sight.

In the dim piano room, Ken Nishimoto's body was hanging in the air with a piece of music under his feet.

"This..." Conan was stunned.

"Hey, isn't this Nishimoto Ken?" The policeman also ran over and confirmed the identity of the deceased. "Why is he here?"

Conan said nothing and ran in to check the music score on the ground. It was written on it was Ken Nishimoto's suicide note. In the note, he said that he killed Hideo Kawashima and Tatsuji Kuroiwa because of the uneven distribution of the spoils from the drug operation.

But when I thought of the childhood friendship, I felt regretful.

He also believed that the police investigation had reached its limit and there was no escape, so he chose to commit suicide.

But how could this be suicide!

Conan was extremely furious. If his reasoning was correct, it meant that the murderer killed Ken Nishimoto when he and the old policeman were looking for music scores in the warehouse.

This is murder right under his nose!

Damn, the distance between the piano room and the warehouse is less than a hundred meters, why didn’t he notice it!

The old policeman reported the situation in the community center to Inspector Megure, and also asked why Ken Nishimoto was able to leave the village office. After learning that another murder had occurred, the police could no longer let these people go home.

Inspector Megure was rushing towards the community center.

Conan is thinking about the murderer's motive.

The murderer’s methods and identity are currently unclear, so we can only go back to square one and judge based on his motives.

He also extracted the key character of Keiji Aso.

So far, all five of Keiji Aso's so-called childhood playmates have died. Was the murderer motivated by money? Not likely. If the murderer was motivated by money, he should not have killed Kawashima Hideo, but instead kidnapped him for extortion.

The moment the murderer killed Hideo Kawashima, the police immediately launched a background investigation on the deceased.

The drug deal would be exposed in an instant, and the murderer wouldn't get a penny.

But assuming the murderer was seeking revenge...

Then it all makes sense!

Conan woke up as if from a dream, and asked quickly: "Old uncle, did Aso Keiji's relatives really die in the fire? Are there any relatives who are familiar with him left outside?"

"Oh, you're asking this..." The old policeman looked up and pretended to recall, "Mr. Aso seems to have a son. He had a serious illness when he was a child, and he was very weak. He has been recuperating in Tokyo.

"His name should be Seiji, right?"

"Seiji?" Conan froze in place, muttering the name, and naturally, he thought of Asai Narumi, "Narumi."

The two have different pronunciations, one is more masculine and the other is more feminine.

But both are written as Chengshi in Chinese characters.

If Asai Shigemi was the murderer, then everything would make sense.

She, or he, was in charge of the autopsies of the two murders and was able to blur the time of death. No wonder the bloodstains in the broadcasting room were not wiped off, which means that the time of death of the deceased was about 30 minutes earlier.

There is no mistake, Asai Narimi is the murderer...

***

Inspector Megure arrived at the community center and collected Ken Nishimoto's body.

The police and Conan both concluded that this was a homicide disguised as suicide.

Everyone returned to the village office, and Asai Narumi was also among the crowd. Conan found a key piece of evidence in the police report. He took the photos of the death scene of Village Chief Kuroiwa and went to the broadcasting room to compare them one by one.

The method was exactly as he expected.

After finding out who the real murderer was, everything became clear.

The case has become so simple up to this point that it couldn't be any simpler.

Conan coaxed and tricked Maori Kogoro into the broadcasting room, then knocked him out with a needle, leaving him sleeping soundly on a chair. He then picked up the bow-tie voice changer and said to the broadcasting microphone: "Inspector Megure, I already know who the murderer of the Tsukikage Island serial murder case is."

"Brother Maori?" Inspector Megure looked for the direction of the voice, "You said you know who the murderer is?"

"It seems to be inside the radio room." Xiaolan said.

"That's right, Inspector Megure."

Everyone was confused. How the hell did you hear us talking in the radio room?
