Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

Conan also heard this sudden voice and ran straight to the broadcasting room. He saw Nishimoto Ken slumped at the door of the broadcasting room, pointing his finger inside in horror.

Conan rushed over and saw that the village chief Kuroiwa had been stabbed to death in the broadcasting room with a knife stuck in his back. Others also arrived here at this time, and Inspector Megure took over the scene directly.

Since Mr. Kawashima drowned the previous day, there was no way to perform an autopsy on Tsukikage Island, so the medical examiner took him back to Tokyo. This left the second murder case with no medical examiner to perform. Dr. Asai Narimi, who was less suspected, was asked to serve as the temporary medical examiner.

Yes, objectively speaking, Asai Narimi is indeed one of the suspects, but in the eyes of Inspector Megure and Mouri Kogoro, he is currently considered a lesser suspect, so under such circumstances, they asked Dr. Asai Narimi to perform the autopsy.

Asai Narumi began his autopsy. When he approached the body, he took advantage of no one's attention to turn off the replay button on the control panel, and the light of the replay button that was originally glowing under the body also went out.

At the same time, Asai Narumi also made a false report on the time of death of the body, saying that the village chief Kuroiwa was killed just a few minutes ago.

The emergence of this second case clearly suggests that the previous Kawashima case was a serial murder committed by the same killer. Therefore, the number of people who attended yesterday's memorial service has been significantly reduced to the few who were still recording their statements at the village hall.

The repeated suspects in the two cases currently include Ken Nishimoto, Kazuaki Hirata, Reiko Kuroiwa, the daughter of the deceased Kuroiwa village chief, and Reiko Kuroiwa's fiancé Shuichi Murasawa, Narimi Asai who is temporarily serving as the autopsy forensic doctor, and the last one is Masato Shimizu, the only one of the three candidates for the new village chief who is still alive.

The suspicion surrounding Shimizu Masato was magnified in Kogoro Mori's eyes. There were only three candidates running for village chief, and Shimizu Masato was the least likely to win this year's election. He lacked Mr. Kawashima's financial resources, nor the prestige of Mr. Kuroiwa, who had served as village chief.

"I already know, Inspector Megure!" Maori Kogoro said confidently. Good, good! It's time for Maori Kogoro to distribute gold and water again. Anyone who has watched Conan knows that Maori Kogoro's reverse operation is also unique. You know, just like the many multiple-choice questions in the English test, it is difficult to get full marks directly, and it is even more difficult to get all wrong, because if you force your eyes, even if you choose C, you can still get a few correct. That's why there are regulations that prohibit choosing only one option for all multiple-choice questions, but there will still be some loopholes. So Maori Kogoro's ability to avoid the correct answer every time is also a terrifying ability. Therefore, everyone who has been suspected by Maori Kogoro is basically equivalent to being distributed reverse gold, a good guy for sure!

"The murderer must be you, Mr. Shimizu Masato." Maori Kogoro pointed confidently at Tokushimizu Masato. "You're the only one who directly benefited from this case. Of the three new candidates for village chief, you had the least chance of winning. You weren't as wealthy as Mr. Kawashima. And you weren't as prestigious as the previous village chief, Mr. Kuroiwa. So, you discovered that Aso Keiji and the two candidates seemed to be childhood friends. So, you exploited the supposed curse of Aso Keiji to eliminate Kawashima and Kuroiwa. That way, you could easily blame their deaths on the rumored curse. And with no other candidates left, you were naturally elected as the next village chief."

"Hey, hey, hey~ What nonsense are you talking about, you little mustache guy! It's okay that it was hard to prove yesterday because there were too many people around. Today, the village chief Kuroiwa was killed. Doctor Asai just said that he was killed a few minutes ago. You know, I was staying in the lounge with everyone just now. I didn't even go to the bathroom in the middle. How could I have split myself to kill the village chief Kuroiwa?" Shimizu Masato counterattacked forcefully.

"Uh... this, this..." Maori Kogoro began to mumble, then he said seriously, "I was just testing you to see if you had done anything bad."

The uncle is really serious, talking nonsense, without me to help reason, I don't know what he is reasoning every day. Conan is hanging upside down with dead fish eyes, it's really embarrassing to watch.

Elsewhere, Inspector Megure also pulled his hat down and covered his face. It was truly unbearable to watch. This Mori-kun, aside from the correct deductions he made while asleep, never once did he get it right when he was awake and arrogantly reasoning. Unless he was the type of murderer who had absolutely no intention of covering up, clearly declaring, "I'm the murderer! Come find evidence and arrest me!" Other than that, Mori-kun never got his analysis right when he was truly awake.

"Officer Megure, we've found something here! There's a death message here!" a forensic officer shouted.

"What!?" Inspector Megure and Maori Kogoro hurried to the death message. Maori Kogoro was originally in an awkward position, but now, an important clue appeared, diverting everyone's attention. Maori Kogoro silently gave this forensic examiner a thumbs up.

"Inspector Megure, it's the music score again!" Kogoro Mouri looked closely and found the music score carved in blood on the floor next to the chair where Village Chief Kuroiwa was lying.

"Hmm!" Inspector Megure answered in a low voice, without replying much. His eyes were fixed on the music score on the floor, trying to explore the mystery in it.

At this time, not only Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri gathered around, but a big head also came close to the floor, observing the death information.

The closer his head got, the shadow gradually covered the music sheet on the floor. Maori Kogoro also noticed that the light was blocked, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Conan, the little devil.

With a loud bang, Maori Kogoro's huge iron fist hit Conan's head. Perhaps because he was just being strongly questioned by Shimizu Masato, he was upset, so he used a little more force this time. Conan was hit and fell directly to the ground, directly on the bloody music score.

"Oh no! You used too much force!" Kogoro Mouri felt something was wrong and his hands moved quickly to pick Conan up from the ground.

"Fortunately! The blood on the ground has dried up, otherwise all the death information would have disappeared." Maori Kogoro secretly rejoiced! Inspector Megure was also sweating coldly. Were these extra people coming in to destroy the scene? Just when he was about to scold, Maori Kogoro spoke first.

"Ran, keep an eye on this kid and don't let him wander around the scene. Such important death information was almost destroyed by him." Kogoro Mouri scolded Conan loudly.

"Brother Maori, you are the same. Please control yourself. If you continue to act so recklessly, I will ask you to leave!" Inspector Megure scolded Maori Kogoro without hesitation. Forget it, Maori Kogoro has helped the Metropolitan Police Department a lot. Otherwise, Maori Kogoro would definitely be stopped by Inspector Megure and taken away from the scene.

"Okay, Officer Megure!" Maori Kogoro saluted, then touched his head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly. However, he silently made a note of Conan in his heart. It was all the fault of this little brat. He would go back and settle the score with him.

Conan was used to being beaten by Kogoro Mouri. After stroking the bump on his head, he took out yesterday's notebook and started to try to decipher the code in it!

Damn it! How on earth are we supposed to crack these codes? Xiaolan came to Conan silently at this moment. Seeing Conan with his head down in deep thought, she thought that Conan had become autistic after being scolded by Maori Kogoro and that his brain had been damaged.

"Conan, are you okay? Dad is such a jerk. He hit me..." Mao Lilan said halfway when she saw Conan staring blankly at the music sheet he copied yesterday. She started to explain, "Conan, are you looking at this sheet music? The B on this sheet music represents a flat key and the B represents a sharp key, which generally correspond to the black keys on the keyboard."

As Mao Lilan muttered the answer to Conan, Conan's mind exploded.

“Masaka!!!”

Conan understood it and figured out the code!

Then, following the code's trick to translate the meaning of the music sheet, Conan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly translated the message on the floor. "This... is this! Is this the murderer's message to the victim!?"

"Ah!"

Well, Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Conan and started to act cute over there, ah, it’s late but it’s finally here.

Conan's voice attracted everyone's attention. Maori Kogoro was thinking about how to teach Conan a lesson because of what happened just now. Conan jumped out at this time. If he didn't teach him a lesson now, when would he teach him a lesson? Maori Kogoro rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Conan, ready to give Conan a big blow.

"If you put the English letters into these music scores in order from the left keyboard of the piano, you can directly come out with a complete sentence!" Conan said his discovery slowly, not caring that Kogoro Mouri had already come to him and was ready to hit him.

But after hearing what Conan said, Maori Kogoro was obviously stunned, his hands still tucked in his sleeves, but he fell into thought. Then he grabbed the music score left at the scene of Kawashima Hideo's death that Conan had copied, and after substituting it letter by letter, Maori Kogoro spoke.

"Do you understand? The next one is you!"

"Ah!?" Maori Kogoro came back to his senses and repeated it again in full, "Do you understand? You're next!"

"This is not a death message from the deceased at all, but a death warning from the murderer to the next victim!" Kogoro Mouri said in astonishment. After being stunned for a few seconds, he immediately reacted and came to the floor with blood words in one step.

"The resentment of the Karma Fire is eliminated here!" Maori Kogoro translated it again word for word, then said to Inspector Megure with a serious face, "Inspector Megure, this is not the victim's death note at all. I've always found it strange. Judging from the amount of blood the deceased bled, he should have died on the spot. It's unlikely that he would have left such a long death note. It seems that these are not left by the deceased, but are simply provocative messages left by the murderer."

"Aso Keiji, it's Aso Keiji! That guy is not dead at all, he is seeking revenge on everyone!" Nishimoto Ken was scared out of his wits by these messages. He firmly believed that Aso Keiji was still alive and was seeking revenge on everyone!

He had never been close to the crime scene before. Yesterday, he was stopped outside the door by Fujiwara Hiroshi, Mori Ran and others. Today, he was shocked by the powerful murder scene of Village Chief Kuroiwa and did not look inside at all. So when he heard the code cracked by Mori Kogoro and the code message was spoken out, Nishimoto Ken immediately thought of Keiji Aso, because this method of code was invented by Keiji Aso. The only people who could understand this method of message were Keiji Aso, the deceased Village Chief Kameyama, Kawashima who was killed yesterday, Kuroiwa who was just killed today, and finally himself. Only they could understand this code under the guidance of Keiji Aso.

So yesterday's "Do you understand? You're next!" was directed at the Kuroiwa village chief, while today's "The resentment of the karmic fire is eliminated here!" is directed at himself. Only Aso Keiji knew that the fire that burned the Aso family twelve years ago was the work of the four of them. They claimed that they witnessed Aso Keiji killing his family, setting fire to his own home, and then committing suicide.

In reality, the four of them were outside the house when they heard Aso Keiji playing "Moonlight Sonata," a coded message conveying his hatred for the fact that they had disregarded their childhood friendship and set fire to his family. So, when the others were drawn in by the flames, they heard the resentful "Moonlight Sonata." This guy must have been alive at the time and had returned to seek revenge.

"That's impossible! Keiji Aso really died twelve years ago. At that time, he personally found the bodies of Keiji Aso, his wife and daughter who were burned to death in the fire. The fire burned everything, leaving only the handwritten music scores in the fireproof safe. Those music scores are now kept in the warehouse of the community center, and the key to the warehouse is kept in the village office." The old policeman suddenly spoke at this time.

"Then please go find the handwritten music score left by Keiji Aso." Inspector Megure instructed the old policeman.

Then the old policeman went to the village office to get the warehouse key. Conan also secretly left Xiaolan and followed the old policeman.
