"I'd like to speak with him alone for a few minutes. You don't mind, do you?" Reiko Kuroiwa asked, looking at Ran Mouri.

"Of course not." Ran Mouri snorted and walked to the side. "I'm going to the restroom first."

[Hmph! Chen Mo wouldn't be so blind as to fall for you.]

"Is there something you need?" Chen Mo looked up at Kuroiwa Reiko in front of him and asked.

Reiko Kuroiwa didn't answer, but walked straight up to Chen Mo.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the flashlight.

Chen Mo hadn't expected her to be so bold.

Could it have been burned?

Aren't you afraid of being discovered?

"And Xiaolan will probably be back soon."

"The crucial point is that now is the time to perform the ritual."

Reiko Kuroiwa curled her lip.

"Ha, I don't believe in that kind of thing."

"And I prefer doing what I love."

"Since you feel there isn't enough time, then that's really a pity."

She turned around and sighed dramatically.

Especially when deliberately swaying,

Chen Mo stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Although there wasn't enough time to test you,"

"But there's still plenty of time to make a meal of mushroom and chicken."

Ran Mouri went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror with a sullen expression.

"That's outrageous! How dare they try to steal Chen Mo from me!"

"No! I have to take him back! Tonight I have to do as Sonoko says! Chen Mo can only belong to me!"

Ran Mouri took a deep breath, then washed her face again and went back.

Gulu!

Gulu!

A hint of resentment lingered in Reiko Kuroiwa's eyes.

Why didn't you say anything?

Chen Mo smiled and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

He just forced the other person to swallow the gold leaf.

Reiko Kuroiwa rubbed her cheeks.

It's too sour.

Thankfully, I haven't had plastic surgery.

Otherwise, his jaw would definitely have dislocated.

"Ok?"

Kuroiwa Reiko wanted to say something more,

Suddenly, the sound of a zither came from there.

"This, this piece of music..."

"Moonlight!" Chen Mo smiled slightly, it seemed that he had already succeeded in getting Ma Sheng.

"Could the legend be true?" Kuroiwa Reiko looked ahead with a look of fear.

Soon, everyone came out of the house.

Gathered outside the piano room,

"Don't be afraid!"

Chen Mo went straight up and pushed open the door to the room.

"What happened?! Oh no!"

Ran Mouri also heard the noise.

Walking over from the side

After seeing the situation in the room,

His expression changed involuntarily.

"Yes, it's Mr. Kawashima!"

Chen Mo gently shook his head. "He is already dead."

"What?!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji exclaimed in astonishment. "What did you say?!"

"Let's wait for the police." Chen Mo shook his head slightly; he had already texted Sato Miwako.

He looked at Asami Narumi in the crowd and said, "Dr. Narumi! Then I'll trouble you to perform the autopsy."

"Oh, okay!" Asagi Masaru immediately came out.

"It's a curse!" Hirata Akikazu exclaimed, covering his face. "This is the curse of that piano!"

Chen Mo looked at him speechlessly, "What curse! Didn't you see the tape recorder next to us? That's the tape recorder that made the sound just now."

"Judging from the scene, this should be a planned murder."

"What!" Everyone's expressions turned somewhat panicked.

Murasawa Shuichi stared at Chen Mo, "Hey! Don't spout nonsense! Who are you anyway!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly, "I'm just a junior lawyer from Tokyo. My name is Chen Mo. You may not know me, but that's not important."

"It's you! You're that lawyer with the amazing reasoning skills!"

"Oh, it was you! Please, you have to find the murderer!"

"..."

Soon someone in the crowd recognized Chen Mo and spoke up with some surprise.

"Yes, I will." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

Murasawa Shuichi scoffed, "Tch, what's so great about it?"

"Shut up!" Reiko Kuroiwa said irritably from the side. "If you don't have the ability, then stop whining."

"The results are in! The time of death was between thirty minutes and an hour ago! The cause of death is asphyxiation!" Asagi Makoto held up the report. "I think Mr. Kawashima probably drowned at sea, but we'll need to do an autopsy to make a more definitive diagnosis."

"It's probably pretty close to the truth."

Chen Mo looked outside and said, "The jacket on the beach outside probably belongs to Mr. Kawashima. There are also traces on the ground indicating that it was dragged from the beach."

"It is estimated that the perpetrator took Mr. Kawashima to the beach to drown him during the memorial service, then moved the body to this room, locked it, turned on the tape recorder, and walked out of the room into the corridor. I was just near the door. There is a high possibility that the perpetrator returned to the memorial service venue."

Reiko Kuroiwa's expression changed. "You mean! The prisoner is still among us."

Chen Mo nodded slightly, "That's right! The prisoner is right here!"

Kuroiwa Reiko looked flustered and glanced around. "Who killed Mr. Kawashima?!"

"Hey, don't cause trouble!" Murasawa Shuichi said irritably.

Chen Mo grinned. "Alright, it's getting late! Everyone should go home and get some rest! Let's start the investigation tomorrow morning!"

"Let's go back together!" Asagi Masayuki walked over.

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded slightly. "I didn't expect to encounter a case so soon after arriving."

"Yes! I hope you can help resolve this murder case quickly." Asagi said, looking at Chen Mo.

"Don't worry! Now that I'm here, I'll make sure the truth comes out." Chen Mo said, looking at Asagi Masayuki.

"Hmm!" Asagi Shigemi grinned and walked forward.

[It must be my imagination! How could he...]

"Chen Mo," Ran Mouri suddenly called out from beside him.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo turned to look at Ran Mouri.

Ran Mouri looked up at Chen Mo.

"Chen Mo, I have something to tell you tonight!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked Ran Mouri, looking at her with suspicion.

Ran Mouri's face turned bright red.

She took a deep breath.

It was as if they had mustered up their courage.

"I... I just bought a new outfit. Could you check if it fits me later?"

Chapter 29: Ran Mouri: What should I do if I'm pregnant?

A smile appeared on Chen Mo's face.

"Great! What clothes did you buy?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Ran Mouri replied, blushing.

Asagi stood to the side, somewhat envious.

Seeing their appearance,

She sighed softly.

I'm so envious of Xiaolan!

If it weren't for avenging my father, I probably would have pursued Chen Mo just like her.

But in the end, all of this is out of my reach.

Chen Mo heard Ma Shengshi's inner thoughts and looked up at her.

Asagi Senshi felt Chen Mo's gaze and quickly looked ahead again.

Why do I feel like I've been seen through?

[Perhaps it's because the other party is a detective! I need to stay calm! This time, I must avenge my father!]

After returning to my residence

"Then I'll go back to my room first. You can do as you please."

Asagi changed into slippers, said hello, and walked inside.

Chen Mo and Mao Lilan returned to the house.

"Xiaolan, where are the clothes you mentioned?"

Ran Mouri blushed and hesitantly opened her backpack.

"You, you turn around first."

"Okay." Chen Mo smiled and turned around.

Ran Mouri took a deep breath.

She knew that things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.

She reopened her backpack.
