Conan's I'm really not a model worker in a winery

Chapter 117 Moonlight Sonata (incident investigation)

Conan seemed to smell the smell of the incident and ran to the piano room.

Hiroki followed closely, followed by Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan...

Lie, on the other hand, left at the same time as Conan was about to leave - except that Conan entered through the entrance hall, while Lie ran directly around the house to the back door of the piano room.

Lie, who was extremely fast, was the first to arrive at the back door of the piano room. The first thing he noticed was the drag marks on the beach and the coat on the edge of the beach.

Lie narrowed his eyes.

'Very efficient...but how did he leave the scene?'

Lie went up and pushed the back door and found that it was locked.

Fortunately, at this time, he heard the sound of someone pushing the door open, and immediately shouted: "The door here is locked. There is no one who can help me open the door?"

Mouri Kogoro and Conan, who had already discovered the body, were both startled when they heard Retsu's shout. It took them a moment to realize that Retsu had come running around in a circle. Conan quickly went up and opened the door.

When Kogoro Mori was checking the state of the corpse, people attending the ceremony also heard the sound and came.

"The person is no longer able to survive..."

Mouri Kogoro shook his head at the people who came over, and then said, "Xiaolan! Go find the police immediately!"

"good!"

Xiaolan is a person of action, so she pushed everyone aside and went straight to the police station.

"Who died?"

Lie came up curiously and stared at the corpse - this was a fresh corpse! It also smelled of sea salt...

Well, he looks unfamiliar and I don’t recognize him.

And someone in the crowd who gathered around recognized the identity of the deceased—Mr. Kawashima, one of the candidates for the village chief.

After Lie and Mouri Kogoro looked at the corpse, they both discovered the tape recorder hidden under the piano tripod: "So that's it, is this the reason..."

"If you leave the previous tape empty, you can delay the discovery of the body..." Retsu added, following behind Mouri Kogoro.

On the side, Hiroki Sawada was responsible for holding Conan's mouth, arms and legs to stop him from moving around the scene.

Conan was very puzzled by this and squinted his eyes, "What are you doing, Hiroki?"

He wants to solve the case! He wants to find clues!

Hiroki shook his head: "Let's leave this matter to the adults... After all, we are strangers to this island. It would be terrible if your talents are targeted by unscrupulous people."

Conan was startled.

He hadn't considered this issue at all.

"That's true..." But he has never used the shoes that the doctor made for him to enhance his leg strength, the bow-tie voice changer, the watch-type anesthesia gun and the portable loudspeaker!

However, Hiroki couldn't help but drag Conan out of the back door: "Okay, stop talking, we need to keep a low profile here..."

"But, but..."

He wants to solve the case!

"Don't worry, with the uncles here, the case will definitely be solved." Hiroki Sawada comforted him, "And Lie...Uncle Lin already knows that the criminal will continue to kill people, and he will definitely find a way to stop it..."

Conan reluctantly accepted Hiroki's statement.

Of course, the main reason was that Hiroki pulled him so hard that he couldn't shake him off...

Moreover, in Conan's eyes, Lie's reasoning ability is indeed very strong.

but.

Hiroki felt a little guilty: he just accidentally said Uncle Lie's code name, and Conan must have noticed it.

As expected, while walking around the front of the public hall, Conan suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Lin have another name?"

Hiroki nodded naturally: "Yes, I called him Uncle Ren at first."

The pronunciation of Ren's 'Leon' overlaps with Lie's pronunciation of 'le', which is fine. It's just that the weird settings have been added... I hope Uncle Lie won't hit him after knowing that he has an extra English name.

Hiroki prayed in his heart.

In fact, Conan just asked casually. He also thought that it might be an English name. When he heard that Hiroki's answer was similar to what he thought, Conan didn't care anymore - it's not surprising that the family who immigrated to the United States had an English name.

.

"Then Hiroki, we..."

"Let's go back to the hotel."

Conan: "..."

He wanted to say that it would be better to go back and solve the case!

——

"Lin, do you mean to say that this prisoner will continue to commit crimes?"

Mouri Kogoro held a piano sheet in his hand and looked at Lie with a solemn expression.

This piano score was found in the cracks of the piano. Lie guessed that this thing might be a code or something... However, he and Mouri Kogoro had different music theories, so he could only keep it temporarily.

Lie's expression was still relaxed: "Yes~ Didn't it say in Mr. Maori's power of attorney? 'On a moonlit night, shadows will begin to disappear'... which means that now is just the beginning."

"That seems to be the case..." Mouri Kogoro held his chin and turned his head and said, "Um, Dr. Narumi, what are the results of the autopsy?"

"Yes, preliminary judgment is that the cause of Mr. Kawashima's death was drowning, and the time of death was probably..."

Asai Narumi shared his examination results one by one.

When Xiaolan called the old police officer on the island, Lie and Maori Kogoro explained what happened, and then dispersed the onlookers who attended the ceremony, and also asked the old police officer to contact the police station on the island.

"The only back door of the piano room is locked from the inside. Before the sound of 'Moonlight', we did not see any suspicious persons in the entrance...that is to say."

Mouri Kogoro looked seriously at the backs of those who left.

Lie continued with a smile: "The murderer is someone who attended the ceremony, right?"

"That's right, but the problem is that it's still unclear who left in the middle of the performance... and the flustered Ken Nishimoto just now is also very suspicious..."

Lie nodded while listening to Maori Kogoro's serious reasoning, and waited until he had almost finished speaking before suggesting: "I say Mr. Maori, how about asking Xiaolan to take the music score back to Conan and the others for study? With the abilities of the two of them,

, maybe you can find something."

The corner of Mouri Kogoro's mouth twitched: "Yes, yes..."

Damn it, why do these two brats have a stronger sense of existence than him!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiaolan."

Lie smiled and handed the music score to Xiaolan.

Mouri Kogoro and Retsu also chose to stay in the public hall with the corpse, as well as the old police officer of Tsukikage Island.

As the coroner, Narumi Asai also expressed her wish to stay together, so one more person was appointed to guard the body.

——

midnight.

Kogoro Mouri and the old police officer who originally agreed to stay vigil failed to survive a round of Sandman's attacks and fell asleep just after midnight.

In the restroom.

Asai Narumi came out of the toilet and looked at the mirror in front of the sink with a complicated expression.

He has still come this far...

Asai Narumi sighed, turned on the faucet and prepared to wash his face.

At this moment, a frivolous voice sounded from behind him:

"Hey, is Dr. Asai available?"

Asai Narumi's body froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he turned around: "Mr. Chiyan? What's the matter?"

It's over, he can't have a better time tonight.

Just as Asai Narumi thought, Lie approached him with a smile, and his tone was slightly teasing:

"Well~ Actually, I just want to talk to you about things about you, such as..."

"How do you manage to pretend to be a woman without showing any flaws?"
