NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45: Play Beethoven's Moonlight for You
"I'm sorry, the resident record sheet does not find the Mr. Aso Keiji you mentioned." The man in charge of the inquiry said.
"How is it possible, that guy clearly sent me a letter of entrustment." Kogoro Mouri looked at the letter in his hand and questioned.
"This...I don't know either, I'm just a person who just came here two years ago..." The man who investigated quickly waved his hand.
"Ah, so Mr. Mori came here to ask Mr. Keiji Aso's information." Shuji Tsushima walked over slowly and said.
"But that Keiji Aso was actually a person who died twelve years ago." Toru Amuro, who was following him, said calmly.
"So that Keiji Aso is a person who has been dead for twelve years?!" Kogoro Mouri said in surprise.
Causing fearful eyes from other residents.
"Aso Keiji was a famous pianist at the time. Twelve years ago, after his performance, he killed his wife and daughter. He kept playing the piano in the fire, as if he was possessed by something evil. It's like being..." The person in charge who heard the voice and rushed over explained.
"And the piece he played at that time was Beethoven's Moonlight..."
…
"Really, how could a dead person send me a letter of entrustment?" Sitting on the edge of the flower bed, Kogoro Mori looked at the letter and thought while touching his chin.
"It sure is someone's prank."
"Not necessarily, you see, it uses the code of Moon Shadow Island, and the entrustment gold has already called. It may be someone from Moon Shadow Island who wants Uncle Mouri to investigate this matter." Conan said at said while saying.
Shuji Tsushima squatted on the side of the road and watched the ants carefully.
"Tou-kun, they are densely packed, like they are hugging together to keep warm, so disgusting~" He raised his head and complained to Amuro Tou who was standing beside him.
Toru Amuro: It's disgusting, why are you still enjoying it so much!
"I thought that only kindergarten children would do this about observing ants." He said with a smile.
"I didn't expect Tsushima-kun to do it too."
"Tou-kun wants to say that I'm like a kindergartener, wow, I'm so happy~ So I'm in Tou-kun's heart, so—cute?" Tsushima Shuji blinked and said innocently.
Said I was like a troublesome kid in kindergarten? Disgusting to kill you, a little bit.
Toru Amuro: Speechless.
"Tsushima-kun and Amuro-kun, we're going to the public hall to ask the village chief about Keiji Aso, do you want to be together?" Maurilan came over and asked.
"Let's go together then." Amuro said with a dignified smile.
A hand grabbed Shuji Tsushima's collar without hesitation.
"Tsushima-kun must also agree, right?" he said with a smile.
Tsushima Shuji was silent for a while, then nodded stiffly.
Bourbon, you laughed like it was broken.
"Hello, how can I get to the Civic Center?" Maurilan walked up to a woman and asked.
Ponytail, white coat, smiling brightly.
Tsushima Shuji: It's a doctor.
Maorilan and others who asked for directions were also very enthusiastic and showed them the way.
While chatting, he mentioned that he also came from Tokyo.
I really like the air and quiet atmosphere on Moon Shadow Island.
"Please vote for Masato Shimizu..." a loudspeaker car passed by her and shouted.
"Ahahaha... This is an accident." She smiled.
"Actually, it's because Moon Shadow Island is holding the election of the village chief recently..."
"Sorry, this lady, we have no interest in the election of the village chief." Kogoro Mori interrupted her.
"I'm Makoto Asai, a doctor, and I have a doctor's license." She introduced herself.
"If you are going to the public hall, there is a funeral for the former village chief, and you will definitely meet the three people I just mentioned." Said the female doctor named Masayoshi Asai.
…
"Really, this village chief looks unpopular at all." On the way to the civic center, I saw many people waving banners and shouting slogans for the current village chief to step down.
Mouri Kogoro complained.
"That's true." Toru Amuro nodded in agreement.
"Hello, we'd like to meet the village chief Heiyan." Kogoro Mouri said to the village chief's secretary.
"Please wait a moment." The secretary said so, and ran to inform the village head of Heiyan.
"Really, how long do we have to wait?" Kogoro Mori said impatiently, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
"Strange, where has Conan gone?" Maurilan looked around and asked strangely.
Tsushima Shuji silently pointed the direction for her.
I saw a certain elementary school student silently pushed open a closed door.
"Don't make trouble, Conan...hey, this is..." Maurilan, who was about to stop Conan, looked at the things in the room and was stunned for a moment.
"It's a piano." In the empty room, there was only the dusty grand piano.
"This piano is that Mr. Keiji Aso, the piano he played when he died, the cursed piano..." The secretary appeared and explained.
A scattered piano sounded.
"It's obviously just an ordinary piano." The boy in the blue suit complained after playing for a while.
The secretary's face changed drastically, and he pushed the person out of the room.
"Anyway, before the ritual is over, you should wait at the entrance." He said in a bad tone.
…
"Tou-kun~~~ It's so boring~~"
"I just saw the sea~ It's so beautiful..." Tsushima Shuji, who was sitting on the side, said tiredly.
Why haven't people died yet? UU reading www.uukanshu.com is too slow.
He came to experience death up close.
Tsushima Shuji: Since I can't die myself, I'm madly envious of other dead people.
"Yes, but even if you think this sea is beautiful, don't jump into it." Amuro threatened with a smile.
"What, why not." Tsushima Shuji was dissatisfied.
"Because if someone dies, it won't look good." Amuro said in a serious tone of coaxing the child.
"Hey, so many people die in the sea every year, but the sea is still beautiful." Tsushima Shuji said mercilessly.
Toru Amuro: Hey, chicken soup for the soul is actually useless to you?
"You guys are still here." Dr. Masayoshi Asai, who met him on the road, said in surprise.
"This is Mr. Shimizu we mentioned." She introduced the man in the black suit who was following her.
"It's in the clear water." The man smiled approachably.
…
In the room where the ritual was being held, someone walked out of the room silently.
"What are you doing?"
"Just a trip to the toilet."
The man closed the door.
Tsushima Shuji, Mouri Kogoro and the others sat outside at the entrance, quietly waiting for them to finish the ritual.
Strange...that piano doesn't look like it hasn't been used in years...
Instead, it was as if someone had secretly tuned it.
Kudo Shinichi thought while sitting on the steps.
The melodious sound of music came from the public hall.
"Ah, it's moonlight." Tsushima Shuji said after listening to the music.
"It's the tune that Mr. Aso Keiji played when he died." He added silently.
Kudo Shinichi: Damn!
