Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 116 Moonlight Sonata (Death Effect)

Civic Center.

A large number of people gathered in the open space in front of the museum to protest against the "tyranny" of the current village chief.

"These people are really noisy. Today is clearly the funeral for the former village chief..."

The current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, stood by the window, looking at the crowd outside the museum with displeasure.

His opponent in the race for village chief, Hideo Kawashima, was also in the room, which made him extremely unhappy.

There were two other people in the room:

One is a fashionable woman, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's daughter - Kuroiwa Reiko;
And her fiancé, Shuichi Murasawa, who doesn't like her father, is a man wearing a knitted hat and sunglasses.

At this time, his secretary Hirata Kazuaki rushed in and said, "Village Chief, there is a guest outside who wants to see you..."

Kuroiwa Tatsuji said unhappily: "Who wants to see me at this time!"

"Yes, it seems to be... a detective from Tokyo."

For some reason, everyone in the room showed a look of fear: "Detective?"

-

"Really... where did Conan go?" Mao Lilan looked around worriedly, "I don't know where Mr. Lin went..."

They came in and waited for more than ten minutes. When Xiaolan went to the bathroom, Conan ran away.

Also running together is Lie who loves adventure.

Only Hiroki Sawada sat next to Kogoro Mori, reading the mystery novel intently, with no distractions.

Kogoro Mouri looked at Hiroki with a frustrated look on his face - he wanted to smoke.

But every time he took out a cigarette, Hiroki would snatch it away.

He said that smoking would burn his books.

Hearing his daughter's question, Maori Kogoro stood up weakly and said, "They just went to a room inside. I don't know what they went to do... I say, kid, don't look at it!"

"Don't bother me, I'm just seeing the crucial plot..." Hiroki concentrated and didn't buy into Kogoro Mori's account at all.

Maori Kogoro:"……"

At least give him some face!

……

Civic Center, a room on the coast.

Conan and Lie pushed open the door and found that there was only a piano and nothing else.

"Uncle Lin, there is a piano here~"

Conan deliberately pretended to speak in a cute tone like a child.

Coincidentally, Kogoro Mouri and Ran Mouri came into the room, and behind them was Hiroki Sawada, who was always reading a book.

"It's just a piano room, why are you making such a fuss..." Kogoro Mouri curled his lips.

Lie was very interested in the piano. "Well, is there anyone here who can play the piano? I have nothing to do anyway."

As he said that, Lie opened the piano key cover.

However, at this moment——

"Wait, wait! Don't touch that piano!"

A secretary wearing glasses rushed in and said, "That is the piano that Keiji Aso played on the day he died. It still has his curse on it..."

Maori Kogoro squinted his eyes and chuckled twice, "How could there be a curse..."

"it is true!"

The secretary named Hirata Kazuaki said anxiously, "A similar thing happened to the previous village chief, Mr. Kameyama..."

...Turtle Mountain?
"Isn't that the one from today's Dharma Assembly..."

The corners of Kogoro Mouri's mouth twitched. Could this piano really be cursed?

Hirata Kazuaki lowered his head and said, "Yes... One night two years ago, when I passed by here, I heard the melody of a piano coming from the community center, which should have been empty... But just when I wanted to go in and see who was inside, the piano stopped playing."

"…When I entered, I only saw the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, lying on the piano, and the song I heard before was the Moonlight Sonata played by Keiji Aso before his death…"

"The curse of the dead?"

Lie waited for the other party to finish speaking, and under the other party's stunned gaze, he flicked his hand twice, and then felt a little disappointed, "It doesn't seem to be anything special?" Aren't curses all insidious things? He didn't feel the cold air either...

Not as cold as the eldest brother.

……

"Bam—"

After getting a few people out, Hirata and Ming shut the piano room door heavily, saying impatiently, "In short, before the ceremony ends today, please stay in the entrance and wait!"

After saying this, he went straight back to the Dharma Assembly.

"Eh——so fierce."

Lie curled his lips, had a bad attitude, and gave a bad review.

Just at this moment, a familiar figure made him happy again: "Dr. Asai~ You are here too?"

The two people who came in were Asai Narimi and Shimizu Masato, one of the candidates for village chief.

"You are still here?" Asai Chengmi asked with a smile, trying his best to suppress Rei's extremely aggressive gaze.

"Yes, yes. Is Dr. Asai also here to attend the Dharma Assembly?" Rei smiled brightly.

As smart as Conan was, he saw through Rei's psychological activities almost immediately and twitched his lips twice.

Why didn't he realize that Mr. Lin was so hungry before?
Asai Narimi could probably sense Rei's little thoughts, and he felt helpless, but he could only bear it: "After all, when I first came to the island, I was the first person to perform an autopsy on Mr. Kameyama... Oh, by the way, this is Mr. Shimizu whom I mentioned before."

People on both sides probably got to know each other.

Asai Narimi checked the time and said, "The ceremony is about to begin... then..."

Lie immediately took over the conversation enthusiastically, "Doctor Asai, why don't you go first? By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right? How about I treat you to dinner after the ceremony is over?"

Asai Narimi: “…”

He really doesn't need it!
Conan: "..."

Mr. Lin, please restrain yourself!

Even Hiroki, who was reading a book, noticed something was wrong: "..."

Uncle Lie, don’t you know how old you are?
Kogoro Maori and Ran Maori also noticed Rei's abnormality.

After Asai Chengshi left, Mao Lilan approached him curiously: "Mr. Lin, isn't Dr. Asai very beautiful?"

Lie Sha nodded seriously: "Yes, especially the breasts..."

Mao Lilan: “???”

Is there something wrong with Mr. Lin’s painting style?

On the contrary, Maori Kogoro was full of praise: "Not bad, Lin! You have good taste, but if you ask me, Doctor Asai is only a B at best..."

Lie expressed doubt: "But it's not far from C, right?"

Mao Lilan/Hiroki/Conan: "..."

They were wrong... They didn't expect you to be such a Mr. Lin (Uncle Lie)!

-

After the ceremony began, Maori and his group stayed outside the entrance as instructed, waiting for the ceremony to end, without even having a meal.

at last……

Hiroki finished reading a mystery novel, exhaled, and looked at Conan, "Conan, do you want to read it?"

Conan's eyes twitched: "No, no need, I've seen them all..."

Just kidding, these books were written by his father and he has read them all to pieces.

"I see..." Hiroki Sawada silently stuffed the book into his bag, thinking to himself that he should bring a few more books next time.

Then he enthusiastically discussed the contents of the book with Conan...

however.

When the ceremony was halfway through, a strange melody suddenly sounded, and instantly spread throughout the mansion...

When the melody just sounded and everyone was wondering what kind of music it was, Conan's pupils suddenly shrank -

It's the Moonlight Sonata!
