Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

Zhiyong didn't think it was because Xiaolan was around, or because he was shy about meeting a beautiful woman for the first time.

It now seems that Kogoro Mouri is not as ordinary as he appears on the surface.

……

Chapter 133 Moonlight Sonata

Zhiyong felt that Kogoro Mouri had probably discovered that Makoto Asai was suspicious.

He must already know Conan's true identity.

This made Zhiyong realize that no one in this world is simple.

I still need to be careful when dealing with Kogoro Mouri in the future.

When they arrived at the community center.

Zhiyong discovered that a large number of villagers had gathered at the entrance of the community center.

These villagers stood in front of the community center, chanting slogans against the current village chief.

No wonder they hadn't seen a single person along the way when they tried to ask for directions.

It turns out that all the villagers have come here.

The murders in the Zhiyongji case only occur at night.

It's already noon, and they still haven't eaten.

He said to Kogoro Mouri, "Uncle, with something like this happening at the community center, the village chief won't have time to meet with us. It's already noon, so why don't we go have lunch first and then come back to the village chief to ask about Keiji Aso?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at his watch and said, "I didn't realize it was already noon. Okay, let's go eat first."

"It's already noon before we know it. Let's go to that restaurant we just passed," Xiaolan suggested.

Tourism on Moonshadow Island is fairly good, so there are several restaurants on the island.

Kogoro Mouri originally wanted to ask the restaurant owner about Keiji Aso.

However, the owner of this restaurant took over the business after his father passed away.

The restaurant owner was studying in Tokyo back then and was unaware of Keiji Aso's situation.

After eating.

Zhi Yongcai said, "Uncle, you should go to the community center. We can't leave today either. I'll go to the Guangtian Hotel over there and book a room for us tonight."

“Sato, let me go with you. You paid for the boat fare and lunch on this trip to Moonshadow Island. Let us pay for the accommodation,” Ran said.

"No need, it won't cost much. You and your uncle go together, I can manage on my own," Zhiyong said with a smile.

"I'm so sorry," Xiaolan replied.

“You’re welcome. The letter from the client to Uncle Mori said that a shadow will disappear on the night of the full moon, which means the event will happen at night. I’ll rest at the hotel first. If you understand the situation, you can also rest so you’ll have the energy for the evening.”

"Well."

Kogoro Mouri and his friends went to the community center to find the village chief, while Tomoyuki went to the hotel to book a room.

After booking the room, Zhiyong went straight inside and began meditating.

Anyway, this incident only started in the evening.

Zhiyong no longer wants to waste time.

Since the last time Zhiyong cultivated a trace of true qi, some time has passed, but he has not made any further progress.

However, his previous progress motivated Zhiyong to work even harder and not waste any time in his training.

Zhi Yong practiced for two hours.

Kogoro Mouri and the others haven't returned; it seems they're still at the community center.

Zhiyong wasn't particularly concerned about the case and simply went to sleep in his room.

Zhiyong didn't wake up until 6 p.m.

That afternoon, Kogoro Mouri and the others did not return.

Young people really have a lot of energy.

Zhiyong had actually forgotten that he was still very young.

After having dinner first, Zhiyong also brought dinner for Xiaolan and the others before heading to the community center.

At this time, the religious ceremony inside the community center had already begun.

Kogoro Mouri and his two companions sat on the steps in front of the community center.

"Uncle Maori, have you eaten yet? I brought you dinner."

"Great! I was wondering if something was missing, and now I realize we haven't had dinner yet."

"Thank you, Sato," Ran said with a slight smile.

The three of them opened their lunchboxes, placed the food on the ground, and sat down at the entrance of the community center to eat their dinner.

At this moment, Zhiyong received a warning that there were ghosts.

Zhiyong knew that Asai Makoto had definitely started killing people, but he didn't say anything about it.

But it was during their meal.

At that moment, a melodious and beautiful piano piece drifted out from inside the community center.

“This is the Moonlight Sonata,” Zhiyong said casually.

"What? Oh no!"

Conan seemed to have thought of something, and got up and ran towards the community center.

Kogoro Mouri and Ran seemed to have thought of something as well, and they followed after them.

Inside the community center, those performing the religious ceremony also heard the familiar piano music.

Upon hearing the familiar piano music, both Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Nishimoto Ken's expressions changed.

Two years after Kameyama Isamu's death.

Ken Nishimoto felt that it was the ghost of Keiji Aso who was haunting him, and that he killed Isamu Kameyama in order to take revenge.

As a result, Ken Nishimoto's mental state also deteriorated.

Over the past two years, Ken Nishimoto has been afraid and has put up a lot of talismans in his room, and he rarely leaves his room.

This time, they hired a Taoist priest to perform a ritual for the second anniversary of Kameyama Yu's passing.

Among them is the ghost of Keiji Aso, who was sent to the afterlife.

Zhi Yong wasn't in a hurry. He first picked up the food that was on the ground and threw it into the trash can next to him.

Only then did he enter the community center.

The person who was originally in the lobby of the community center was performing a religious ceremony for the former village chief, Kameyama Isamu.

Because of the piano music, everyone had already gathered in the piano room.

The Moonlight Sonata was still playing at that moment.

Zhiyong listened to the hushed conversations around him.

"It's a curse, the curse of the piano!"

This caused the villagers inside the community center to change their expressions and become panicked.

Kogoro Mouri stood beside the piano, utterly disdainful of the villagers' talk about the piano being cursed.

"This is not a curse, nor is it the work of a vengeful spirit, as you can see."

As he spoke, he took a tape recorder out of the piano and said, "This is not the sound of the piano, but the sound of this tape recorder."

After Kogoro Mouri turned off the tape recorder, the Moonlight Sonata also stopped.

"Based on the previous village chief and this case, I am certain that this is a planned serial murder case."

Kogoro Mouri's words caused an uproar among the people present, and some even showed expressions of fear.

"Who are you? Don't spread alarmist rumors here," said a young man wearing a gray hat and sunglasses.

Kogoro Mouri straightened his clothes, struck what he thought was a very cool pose, and said, "I am the famous detective from Tokyo, Kogoro Mouri."

Since Kogoro Mouri solved the case on TV, his fame has skyrocketed.

Therefore, Kogoro Mouri assumed that everyone here had heard of his name.

But Kogoro Mouri didn't know that.

This small island is relatively isolated.

Therefore, not many people have actually heard of his name.

Makoto Asai also returned to Tokyo and only learned Kogoro Mouri's name after watching television.

"Is he a space pilot?"

"No, is he the person who appears in the novel?"

"That's Kogoro Akechi."

……

Chapter 134 Spending the Night at the Community Center

This made Kogoro Mouri very depressed. He never expected that he would be so praised by everyone in Tokyo.

But when he arrived here, no one knew his name.

When Kogoro Mouri was feeling down.

Conan, however, is nothing like an ordinary child.

Upon entering the piano room, they began searching for clues next to the body.

Because of the deaths, the villagers were still deeply terrified of the curse on the piano.
