Conan: Silence in the Dark

"On a full moon night, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moonshadow Island, please investigate the cause, Keiji Aso. Kogoro looked at the words spelled out by the newspaper clippings and was confused.

At this time, the phone rang just in time.

"Hey, hello here, the Maori Detective Agency. "

"There are two weeks left before the full moon, and the handling fee of 500,000 has been remitted to you in full, you must come. "

"Etc.. Wait a minute, who are you?".

"Keiji Aso of Moonshadow Island" said and hung up the phone.

Because of this phone call of unknown significance, Kogoro got on the boat to Moon Shadow Island, and Xiaolan and the others naturally followed.

"Really, forcing someone to investigate. I was going to go cherry blossom viewing this week. Kogoro said a little depressed as he lit a cigarette while leaning on the bow of the boat.

"What's wrong with relaxing on the small island in the center of the Izu Islands, isn't it Xiaojing and Conan. "

"That's right, and my father is fine even if he doesn't come. This kind of non-indication of intention is invalid in the first place, and my father is really responsible. If we can't find clues, let's take a vacation!" Xiao Jing was very disgusted by this anonymous commission.

No, no, please learn from your father. Conan couldn't help but correct Xiao Jing's attitude in his heart.

Kogoro, who came to the island, immediately asked the village office about Keiji Aso, after all, he didn't even provide the address in the letter or on the phone. But the staff searched for a long time and couldn't find the name.

At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses walked from the side.

"Ah, Director, you came just in time, this gentleman came here on the behalft of the island's behold. But I can't find the client's registration here, you know? It's a gentleman named Keiji Aso. "

"What? Did you say Keiji Aso?" said the director, startled, so loud that everyone else here could hear it and start talking.

"There can't be such a thing.... Cause..... Because of him... He died more than a decade ago!" The director said intermittently from surprise to fear.

With the dilated pupils of his eyes, his body trembled and he couldn't even speak clearly, you are such an adult, don't be so afraid of ghosts. Xiao Jing thought helplessly.

"Please come to my office and explain the details to you. The director led the group into his office.

"He was born on our island, and used to be a famous pianist, and that happened on the night of the full moon twelve years ago. After returning to his hometown after many years, he held a piano recital in the village public hall. However, after the recital, he suddenly closed himself to his family and set fire to his family, and it is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. In the raging flames, he seems to be entangled in something, and he continues to play the piano, which is Beethoven's 'moonlight'. The director told Kogoro and the others about what he knew about Keiji Aso.

Kogoro took his leave after learning about the matter.

"Really, is it a letter written by the deceased? What a bad prank. Kogoro said, staring at the envelope in his hand.

Xiao Jing lowered her head and recalled the memories of her previous life, this seems to be the famous murder of the pseudo-mother. Uh, but I still don't remember the specific plot.... Anyway, the murderer is the honest doctor.

"That's right, this prank is just too damning. It turned out to be deliberately scary. Xiao Jing took the envelope in Xiao Goro's hand and quickly tore it up and threw it into the trash can on the side. I thought it would be good if I didn't investigate this case directly!

"Not necessarily, because the handling fee has been paid in full, and the postmark is also from Moonshadow Island. I think someone on the island must have asked his uncle to help him investigate the guy named Keiji Aso. After Conan analyzed it aloud, he watched speechlessly as Xiao Jing tore up the envelope.

"yes, maybe it's a friend of Mr. Aso, so let's ask the village chief on this island. Maybe you can find a clue. Xiaolan also proposed.

"It's not unreasonable, but the envelope has been torn up by Xiao Jing, and it's a little troublesome to investigate. Kogoro said a little depressed, in fact, he himself planned to throw away the envelope.

"I think the contents of the envelope are interesting, and I've copied them down. At this time, Conan took out a small notebook from his backpack and handed it to Kogoro. He instantly felt Xiao Jing stab him fiercely with his eyes.

"Then let's continue the investigation, I remember that the village chief came to the public hall to ask someone. As he spoke, he looked around and noticed that the Moonshadow Island clinic was so nice that there was a man dressed as a doctor saying goodbye to a child.

"Well, sorry to excuse me... How do I get to the following public halls?" asked the doctor after the child left.

"Hey, it's okay, just turn around the corner and go straight to the end. Aren't you from Tokyo?" the doctor pointed out the way before moving on to something else.

Hey, there's no obvious accent in Tokyo, how do you know we're from Tokyo? You're the first to suspect you if I'm Conan!

"I was born in Tokyo, but this island is different from Tokyo, the air is fresh and it's very quiet. As he spoke, he opened his hand and made a comfortable motion.

But as if she had deliberately dismantled her platform, one or two cars with horns passed by. "Shimizu, Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato!".

"However, there are exceptions, because the village chief election is about to be held. The doctor looked helplessly at the back of the vehicle.

"The village chief chooses?" Kogoro asked subconsciously.

The doctor told the people about the candidate chosen for the village chief and said that the patient's opinion should be voted for Mr. Kawashima.

"Alright, Miss Nurse, we don't have any interest in the election of the village chief," Kogoro interrupted the doctor with some embarrassment

"I'm the doctor here, and I'm a doctor. Cheng Shi corrected.

"I'm sorry it's a doctor. Kogoro hurriedly apologized.

"Now if you want to go to the public hall, you can meet the three candidates I just mentioned, because tonight there will be a morning ceremony for the former village head, Mr. Kameyama. "

Kogoro and others came to the public hall and expressed their intention to the secretary. The secretary asked Kogoro and the others to wait for a while, and invited them to the sofa on the side to inform the village chief.

Conan, on the other hand, wanted to investigate, so he sneaked away to see if there were any clues in the nearby room, after all, this was where Aso played last.

"Sister, Conan just ran away, I'll go over and take a look. Xiao Jing said hello to Xiao Lan first, and also planned to follow.

"What a worrying little devil. Let's go along and see if there are any clues by the way. Kogoro also stood up.

Conan pushed the door to the room, found it unlocked, looked inside, pushed it open and walked in.

"No, Conan! Xiaolan complained that Conan had started running around again.

"But this room is really big. Kogoro saw that the door was already open, and walked straight in, looking around for a moment out of the detective's instinct, and then looking out the window.

"There's the sea right behind the public hall, so it's a nice place. Kogoro sighed.

"But this piano is really dirty, don't you know how to take care of it? Xiao Jing looked at the piano with pity.

"Really, it just needs to be taken care of. Xiaolan also took a closer look and said surely.

Kogoro and Conan's attention was naturally attracted, and at the same time approached the piano, intending to take a look together.

"It looks like a very high-end piano, and the dust doesn't look like it's getting into the cracks. Xiao Jing knocked on the piano, and suddenly the dust fell off the piano easily. Obviously, there isn't much resistance, it's structurally quite holistic.

At this time, the secretary suddenly walked in, and when he saw Xiao Jing's movements, he hurriedly shouted, "No..... Don't touch it, that piano was used on the day of Mr. Aso's death, it's a cursed piano!".

"Why, the curse or something is completely unbelievable. Kogoro naturally said with a look of disbelief.

"It's not just Mr. Aso, it's the same thing that happened to the former village chief. The stronger secretary said with a real look.

"So, is that Mr. Isamu Kameyama who did the business today?" Xiaolan said with some fear on the side.

"That's right, it was two years ago, and it was two years ago when I passed by the neighborhood, and there was a piano sound in the public hall where there should be no one. I walked in to see if anyone was still there and didn't go back, and the sound immediately stopped. When I got inside, Mr. Kameyama was buried on the piano, and the cause of death was a heart attack. Later, I remembered that the piano sound was the moonlight sonata that Mr. Aso kept playing in the flames. "

Since then, no one has dared to move this piano, and over time it has been called the cursed piano. "

"Oh? I don't think there's anything different about this piano. Xiao Jing directly opened the piano lid with the book in her hand. Conan also pressed a few times casually after Xiao Jing opened the lid.

"If you can't move, you who will be cursed will leave quickly!" The secretary pulled Jing and Conan out of the room, and at the same time urged Goro and Lan inside to come out as well.

The secretary slammed the door shut after Kogoro and the others came out, "Anyway, please wait in the entrance before the ceremony is over!"

After the secretary left, Kogoro also met Mr. Shimizu, one of the candidates, and Narumi was also with him. I said hello to everyone and took my leave.

Helplessly, Kogoro and the others walked out directly from inside again, sat on the steps of the entrance to the entrance and waited.。。

"It's strange, that piano hasn't been used for years, but the sound is still very normal. Conan muttered quietly as he recalled the piano just now.

"Someone probably made it up secretly. And although there is dust on the piano, it seems to have been deliberately sprinkled on it. Overall, the piano is very well preserved. Xiao Jing approached Conan and said casually.

"What is the purpose of the other party, and what does that letter mean?" Conan continued to look down in thought.

It means that people will continue to die, of course I won't tell you.
