I'm writing a novel in Ming Ke, if you mess with me, you'll be the heroine
Chapter 18 Moonlight Sonata
Seeing Mao Li and the others discussing going to the community center to ask the village chief, Chu Ming nodded and said, "Let's ask the young lady over there for directions."
Xiaolan ran over to ask, and after Asai Chengmi pointed the way, he asked with a surprised look on his face: "Are you from Tokyo? I was also born in Tokyo. This island is very different from Tokyo, isn't it great? The air is very fresh, and it is very-quiet."
As he was speaking, a propaganda car with a loud speaker drove by: "Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato——"
She was most afraid that the air would suddenly become quiet. Chu Ming felt embarrassed for her. She felt like she was being slapped in the face at the speed of light.
Cheng Shi excused himself: "This is an exception, haha. The main reason is that the election for the village chief is about to be held."
Xiaolan was a little curious: "Village head election?"
"Yes, the candidates include the current fishermen representative Mr. Shimizu, the current village chief Mr. Kuroiwa whose evaluation has recently been lowered, and Mr. Kawashima, the largest capitalist on the island..." Asai Narimi talked incessantly.
Maori Kogoro couldn't help but interrupt her: "Miss, we are not interested in the election. We just want to go to the community center to find the village chief to ask something..."
"My name is Asai Narimi, and I'm a doctor on the island. If you want to find the village chief, go to the community center and you'll see the three people I just mentioned, because today they're holding a memorial service for the third anniversary of the succession of the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama..."
After saying goodbye to Chengshi, the four of them met the village chief's secretary who happened to come out. The secretary asked the four of them to wait in the reception room and then hurried back.
After waiting for a long time but seeing no one coming, Chu Ming quietly poked the little detective and pointed outside. He knew Conan would definitely not be able to sit still.
The two of them colluded with each other and hit it off immediately. They prepared to sneak away while Kogoro Mouri and Ran were not paying attention.
Conan took the lead and, relying on his detective intuition, went straight to the piano room. The two pushed the door and prepared to go in.
Maori Kogoro and Xiaolan also chased after him at this time: "Conan, you can't run around everywhere - Brother Chu Ming, you are really something, don't stop him."
Chu Ming smiled sheepishly: "It's normal for children to like running around. It's okay as long as I'm with you."
"Hey, hey--" Conan was angry. It was clearly you who instigated me to come out, why are you turning the tables on me?
Maori Kogoro also came in quite consciously and walked around, as if the detectives in the world of science can always walk around other people's rooms calmly\u003d \u003d
"This piano is a bit dirty—" Chu Ming touched the surface of the piano.
Conan also came over to open it and take a look. The secretary who was looking for them also rushed over: "Don't touch it! That's Mr. Aso's piano! It's a cursed piano!!"
Chu Ming muttered secretly: This is so funny, is the god of death afraid of curses?
Seeing that they were unmoved, the secretary added: "It's not just Mr. Aso, the same thing happened to the previous village chief!"
Upon hearing the clues coming to him, Conan tilted his head and asked, "Is that the village chief who is going to hold the funeral today?"
"Yes, that happened before. It was also a full-moon night. I happened to pass by this place. In the mansion where no one should have been, I heard the sound of a piano playing moonlight! When I was about to check if anyone was there, the piano music suddenly stopped. When I walked in, Mr. Kameyama was lying on the piano. The cause of death was a heart attack..."
"…Since then, the piano has unknowingly become known as the cursed piano."
In the tense atmosphere deliberately created by the secretary, Chu Ming squatted on the ground and quietly encouraged Conan: "You are a child. No one will say anything if you act naughty occasionally. Go and try the piano to see what the secret is."
Upon hearing this, Conan, the stubborn boy, really rushed over and opened the lid, and his fingers skillfully played the piano: "This piano is no different, it's the same as an ordinary one."
Chu Ming stood behind, hiding his achievements and fame.
Seeing that Conan was determined to take action, the secretary pushed them out of the room like a cat whose tail was stepped on and locked the door: "In short, please wait at the entrance until the ceremony is over!" After saying that, he left angrily.
Chu Ming squatted down and asked Conan: "Is there anything unusual?"
Conan frowned and whispered, "It's very strange. According to them, the piano hasn't been used for several years, but when I played it just now, the sound was normal, as if someone secretly adjusted the tune for some purpose."
Chu Ming touched Conan's clever head and said, "I was right, you——"
Conan was shocked, thinking that Chu Ming had seen through his identity. He was just about to say something like "I learned from my uncle Shinichi" to get away with it, but he heard the second half of Chu Ming's sentence.
"——You are really a little prodigy. Your logical thinking and knowledge are far beyond those of children of your age. Moreover, you can tell whether the piano sound is normal or not just by your ears. You should have absolute pitch. Have you ever taken an IQ test? To have such wisdom at your age, well, you have the demeanor of me when I was a child..."
Conan listened to Chu Ming bragging with a smile on his face, while sitting on the steps of the entrance with Maori Kogoro.
"So there must be something fishy about this matter. A piano that hasn't been played for several years can still maintain its pitch, and the secretary's reaction is too big. Maybe he knows some details, or the piano itself has some secrets, so he made up this curse to prevent people from approaching... How about we sneak in at night to see what's wrong with the piano?" Chu Ming began to instigate Conan to do bad things again.
Conan nodded thoughtfully. He found that Chu Ming's thinking and reaction were indeed amazing. He could reflect so many connections just by listening to a few details. He wondered if he could also be a detective.
The night gradually deepened, and the full moon hung in the sky. Chu Ming looked at the sky, and suddenly turned to the three people and said, "Didn't the letter that Uncle received say that on the night of the next full moon, a shadow will disappear on Moon Shadow Island... On the previous full moon night, Aso Keiji and the village chief died. Does this mean that someone might die tonight--"
Before he could finish his words, a melodious piano sound was heard - it was the moonlight!
"Oh no!" Conan and Maori said in unison and rushed towards the piano room.
