"Damn it! It's already dark, why isn't the ritual over yet?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker and complained.

If he hadn't taken the one million yuan from someone else, would he be suffering this humiliation here?

Wouldn’t it be nice to lie down comfortably at home?

Kitagawa Taki was waiting quietly, not waiting for the ritual to end, but waiting for Masashi to take action.

He didn't mind helping Masamichi out, teaching some rude locals a lesson, and giving Conan some trouble at the same time.

……

Night falls.

A melodious piano sound came.

"What is this?" Kogoro Mouri turned his head and looked at the community center.

"The first movement of Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor." Haibara Ai said lightly.

"What c? Ten or so?" Kogoro Mouri didn't understand at all.

Xiaolan reminded: "Dad, it's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata!"

Conan rushed directly to the previous room.

"Conan!"

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Ran hurriedly followed.

Kitagawa Taki and Haibara Ai followed slowly behind.

At this time, a group of people had gathered outside the room.

However, no one dared to go in.

Conan took the lead and pushed open the door of the room.

The slow melody came to an abrupt halt.

I saw a man lying motionless on the piano keys, and there was a winding water stain on the ground.

Kogoro Mouri and Conan went forward to check, and Kitagawa Taki took the opportunity to walk to the piano and put a tape recorder inside into the bracelet space.

"The person is already dead." Kogoro Mouri shook his head at the crowd crowded at the door.

Only then did a few more people enter the room.

Including Asanami Miura, Shimizu Masato, Hirata Kazuaki, the bald current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji and his daughter Kuroiwa Reiko.

"Lan, go to the police station and notify the police!"

Beichuan Taki interrupted, "I think it's better to let the locals go. They are more familiar with it."

"Murazawa, you go!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji turned around and instructed Kuroiwa Reiko's fiancé Murasawa Shuichi.

Maori Kogoro said to Asami Narimi, "Ms. Narimi, please come and examine the body!"

Ma Chengshi responded and began the inspection.

Conan had checked around the piano but didn't find what he wanted.

He gritted his teeth, secretly hating himself for not discovering the clue in the commission letter earlier - the letter had already foreshadowed that someone would die on the full moon night.

"Curse! It must be a curse!"

Hirata Kazuaki screamed in fear.

"This isn't a curse, this is clearly a premeditated murder!"

Kogoro Mouri walked forward and directly denied it.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji asked in a deep voice, "Are you the detective from Tokyo?"

"That's right!" Maori Kogoro straightened his suit and introduced himself quite complacently: "I am the famous detective from Tokyo, Maori Kogoro!"

A voice came from the crowd: "Ah! I know, it's that alien!"

Another old man said, "No, I clearly remember him often appearing in mystery novels."

The person next to him whispered, "That's Kogoro Akechi..."

Kogoro Mouri looked hopeless and turned to walk to Asano Minoru's side.

Asami made a judgment: "The deceased is Hideo Kawashima, one of the candidates for village chief, and he died between 30 minutes and an hour ago.

The cause of death was asphyxiation and he was most likely drowned in the sea.

However, we can only make a definitive conclusion after an autopsy."

Maori Kogoro pondered and said, "The water stains on the ground extend all the way to the door leading to the sea outside... Miss Cheng Shi, your conclusion is correct!"

Conan doesn't care about these things now. He just wants to know where the "Moonlight" came from?

First, we must rule out the possibility that the deceased played the gun himself.

When he ran to the door of the room, he could still hear the sound of the piano. By then, Hideo Kawashima had already died.

When I entered the room, the piano music stopped.

But he didn't find anything like a tape recorder in the room.

Conan was confused...

Kitagawa Taki glanced at the dazed Conan and felt a little amused.

At this time, Maori Kogoro also realized this problem and wondered: "Where does the sound of the piano come from?"

He glanced around the empty room and then began searching on the piano.

Masami walked to the side of the piano calmly, but was surprised to find that the tape recorder he had placed in the piano was missing!

Although he didn't understand what was going on, this would undoubtedly make the matter shrouded in mystery and more conducive to his plan.

"This is... a piano sheet?!"

Maori Kogoro took out a piece of paper from the opened piano cover and said, "I remember there was no such thing when I looked at it during the day!"

At this moment, a hedgehog-haired man in the crowd seemed to have seen something terrifying and ran out of the room screaming.

Seeing this, Kitagawa Taki asked, "Who is that?"

Asami introduced, "That's Ken Nishimoto. He was already like this when I came here two years ago."

"Mr. Nishimoto used to be very rich, but since the death of the previous village chief, he has become a different person. He doesn't like to go out and is suspicious of everything," said Masato Shimizu.

Kitagawa Taki nodded. This guy was most likely one of Masamichi's targets of revenge.

Then, he said to the two girls, "Xiao Lan, why don't you and Xiao Ai go to the hotel on the island first? We can leave this here."

Maori Kogoro slapped his forehead and said, "Brother Kitagawa is right. You two should go to the hotel and rest!"

Xiaolan nodded when she heard this, then she looked down at Haibara Ai. She didn't know whether Haibara Ai would be willing to be with her.

Haibara Ai was not very interested in solving the case, so she did not refuse.

The two then left the community center together.

……

Walking on the deserted street, Xiaolan was a little distracted. She hesitated whether to ask Haibara Ai for clarification.

"What are you thinking about?" Haibara Ai's cold voice sounded a little distant.

When Xiaolan came to her senses, she realized that she had taken the wrong road and walked onto another small path, several meters away from Haibara Ai on the main road.

She smiled embarrassedly and quickly trotted to Haibara Ai's side.

Haibara Ai didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them just walked quietly and silently.

Finally, Xiaolan couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Xiaoai, you're not autistic, right?"

Although Haibara Ai is a little strange, doesn't talk much and occasionally says some very mature words, Xiaolan feels that she is definitely not autistic.

Huiyuan Ai stopped and gave a negative answer, then asked: "What do you want to ask?"

She had expected Xiaolan to ask some questions about whether their lying was autism.

But Xiaolan didn't expect the next sentence she said was: "Xiao Ai, I'm asking directly, do you not like me very much?"

Haibara Ai was stunned. Was she showing it very obviously?

To be honest, it's hard to dislike someone like Mao Lilan.

The same is true for Haibara Ai.

But who made Kitagawa Taki come between them?

After a moment of silence, Huiyuan Ai confessed: "I really don't like you very much, but it has nothing to do with you as a person."
