Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

After saying this, Haibara Ai didn't stop and walked straight forward.

"what?"

Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then followed him, carefully thinking about what Haibara Ai had just said.

After thinking about it, she could only think of Kitagawa Taki, who was the only connection between her and Haibara Ai.

Did Huiyuan Ai know about her and Kitagawa Taki? Did she think that she had taken Kitagawa Taki away?

Is this the legendary discord between sister-in-law and sister-in-law?

The more Xiaolan thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she became more and more certain.

But how to solve this problem?

"I'm going to the convenience store."

Xiaolan's thoughts were interrupted by Haibara Ai's words.

She followed her into the store and saw Haibara Ai choosing a bento. Then she suddenly remembered that they had not had dinner yet.

Haibara Ai picked out two bento boxes and took two bottles of tea.

Seeing this, Xiaolan also bought a few lunch boxes.

……

In the community center.

Kogoro Mouri was holding the music score and feeling worried. He couldn't understand it at all!

"I say, Detective Mori, can we go back now?" said Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

As soon as he opened his mouth, others started complaining too.

Maori Kogoro said in a deep voice: "No! The murderer is very likely one of you.

The murderer took Mr. Kawashima to the beach and drowned him when he left the room where the ritual was being performed. He then carried the body back and finally returned to the room where the ritual was being performed.

"If you say so, can't people outside do the same?" Heiyan Lingzi said disdainfully, holding his hands.

"This, this..." Kogoro Mouri was suddenly stuck.

"After Kawashima's death, the one who was most happy was undoubtedly Mr. Shimizu. He lost a strong competitor!"

Kuroiwa Tatsuji started to sneer at Shimizu Masato.

"You... aren't you the same? Kuroiwa is the current village chief, aren't you also one of the candidates?" Shimizu Masato was furious and pointed at Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

"I'm not as rich as Kawashima, nor am I as good at winning people's hearts as you!" Kuroiwa Tatsuji sneered.

"You can all go back!" Kitagawa Taki didn't want to listen to these people quarreling.

"Brother Kitagawa..." Kogoro Mori wanted to say something.

Beichuan Taki waved his hand and said, "We'll do the investigation and questioning tomorrow. There's no way a few of us can handle this many people."

Kogoro Mouri thought so too. There were dozens of people here. If only the two of them were to investigate, they would not be able to sleep tonight.

After a while, the people who came to attend the ritual dispersed, and only Kuroiwa Reiko stayed.

Maori Kogoro asked in confusion: "Ms. Kuroiwa, aren't you going back yet?"

"I'll come back on Monday!" Kuroiwa Reiko stood alone.

At this time, apart from a corpse, there were only five people left in the room: Kuroiwa Reiko, Asanari Mizuki, Mori Kogoro, Kitagawa Taki, and Conan.

Without the crowds, the room suddenly felt much emptier.

Conan started from the corner of the room, tapping the wooden floor with his feet as he walked, making a "dong dong" sound.

"Conan!" Maori Kogoro was thinking about the case, and Conan's noise made it impossible for him to concentrate. He turned his head and looked at Conan: "What are you doing with the plane again?"

Conan explained: "Uncle, I just want to see if there is any space under the floor."

When Conan reminded him, Kogoro Mouri immediately thought of Conan's intention. The murderer might have hidden the thing that emitted "Moonlight" under the floor.

So he followed Conan's example and walked from the other end of the room while knocking.

Kuroiwa Reiko rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.

Ma Shengshi looked strange. As the murderer, even he didn't expect it to happen this way.

"Mr. Kitagawa, aren't you coming with us?"

"I don't think there's anything under the floor." Kitagawa Taki asked, "What do you think, Dr. Asai?"

Masashi smiled and waved his hands: "How would I know these things? I'm just a doctor."

Kitagawa Taki looked away. If he didn't have spiritual sense, he might not be able to tell that Masashi was actually a man.

Masashi didn't use a mask or anything, even his hair was real.

In addition, he has a feminine appearance and his Adam's apple is not even visible.

This is natural camouflage.

No wonder Conan and Mouri Kogoro didn't notice it.

A few minutes later, the two had checked the entire room.

"Damn it! There is nothing at all!" Kogoro Mouri sat down on the ground.

Just then, Xiaolan and Haibara Ai came back with two bags of food.

"Ran, why are you back again?" asked Kogoro Mouri.

"We bought some bento." Xiaolan even bought one for Masamichi.

Huihara Ai handed the lunch box to Kitagawa Taki and said, "Here."

Fortunately, these people had experienced many storms and started eating in front of the corpse.

"Ran, take a look at this music score." Maori Kogoro handed the music score to Ran. He almost forgot that Ran could play the piano.

Xiaolan took it and looked at it, "Well, this is the music score of Moonlight."

Maori Kogoro quickly asked: "Is there any problem?"

"I don't know." Xiaolan shook her head: "I need to play it and try it out."

"Then eat first, and try again after you're done!" Kogoro Mouri started to eat rice in big mouthfuls.

……

"Dang~"

Xiaolan played according to the score, but there was a discordant sound.

"There's a problem with the fourth measure here."

"Sure enough, this is most likely the death message left by Mr. Kawashima!" Kogoro Mori pinched his chin, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with the musical score.

"Lan, take Conan and the others to the hotel. Brother Beichuan and I will stay here. The murderer might come back."

"I want to stay too!" Conan raised his hands.

"What are you doing here, little brat? Fighting the murderer?" Maori Kogoro stared at Conan, "Today's detective game is over!"

Xiaolan also said: "Conan, be obedient! Let's come together again tomorrow!"

Conan sighed in his heart and had to accept the arrangement. He was now worried that Kogoro Mouri would not take him with him when he encountered a case in the future.

"Uncle, can you show me the sheet music?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Conan and handed him the music score.

Conan quickly copied the problematic part into his notebook and returned it to Kogoro Mouri.

Maori Kogoro put away the music sheet and turned to Masashi, saying, "Ms. Narishi, you should go back too!"

Ma Chengshi had no reason to refuse and agreed.

……

Just a few minutes after they left, Murasawa Shuichi came back with the police.

"Zhou Yi, what took you so long?" Kuroiwa Reiko was already getting impatient waiting.

"He's not in the police station. It took me a long time to find him!" Murasawa Shuichi looked at the old policeman.

"Okay, let's go back!" said Kuroiwa Reiko and left.

Murasawa Shuichi followed silently.

Maori Kogoro looked at the old man, speechless: "Are you the only police officer in the police station?"

"Yes, I've been on this island for decades, and this kind of thing rarely happens." The old policeman nodded and then asked, "Are you the detectives from Tokyo?"

"Yes." Kogoro Mouri was no longer in the mood to introduce himself.

"Officer, is it confirmed that Keiji Aso is dead?" Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but ask after hearing the old policeman say that he had been on duty on the island for decades.

"Yes, we compared the bones and teeth at the fire scene, and it was definitely their family," the old policeman recalled.

"The scene was horrific. Everything was burned to ashes. Only the sheet music, which was kept in a fireproof safe, remained."

"Music score?!" Kogoro Mouri took out the music score.

Beichuan Taki suddenly had an idea and asked, "Where are the sheet music?"

"In the police station." The old policeman didn't understand why the two were so concerned about the music score.

"Can you bring them here now?" Kogoro Mouri had a hunch that that would be the key clue.

"Yes, yes..."

Maori Kogoro interrupted, "Hurry up, that thing is important!"

Beichuan Taki said at the right time: "I'll go with you!"

"Okay then." The old policeman said helplessly.

……

The old policeman led the way in front, and Kitagawa Taki followed behind him.

"Officer, are there any sleeping bags in the police station?"

"Yes, yes, why are you asking this?"

Kitagawa Taki explained, "Detective Maori and I plan to stay in that room."

The old policeman shook his head. "I really don't understand why you detectives have to stay with corpses."

Kitagawa Taki did not respond. He did not think that the murderer would return to the scene to get the music score.

But those people will definitely come to take the white powder hidden under the piano. That's money!

The two arrived at the police station quickly.

"I think it should be in the warehouse."

The old policeman took Kitagawa Taki all the way to the warehouse.

The warehouse was not big, and Kitagawa Taki directly covered the entire warehouse with his spiritual sense and soon found the music score in the cowhide bag.

He pretended to help look for it and put the music away.

The old policeman searched everywhere but couldn't find it. "That's strange! It should be in here!"

Beichuan Taki asked: "Did you remember it wrongly?"

The old policeman said, "Now that you mention it, it seems...it might be in the warehouse of the community center..."

Beichuan Taki shook his head: "Forget it, take the sleeping bags and let's go back."

……

Civic Center.

"How is it? Did you find it?" Kogoro Mouri asked hurriedly when he saw the two men returning.

The old policeman explained: "We didn't find it in the police station. Maybe I remembered it wrongly. Maybe it's in the warehouse of the community center.

I don't have the key to the warehouse, so we'll have to talk about it tomorrow."

Kogoro Maori's mouth twitched and he sat back silently.

"Brother Beichuan, let's take turns keeping watch tonight. I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and you'll be on duty for the second half!"

He no longer had any hope in the elderly policeman.

Kitagawa Taki nodded.

They said they would take turns guarding the place, but before the middle of the night, Kogoro Mouri fell asleep snoring.

Kitagawa Taki opened his eyes, looked at the two sleeping people, and waited silently for those people to come.

He didn't have to wait too long before he heard rustling sounds near the window.

The person who came was the secretary Kazuaki Hirata. He tiptoed to the window and, using the moonlight, saw that everyone in the room was fast asleep in their sleeping bags. Only then did he feel relieved.

He pushed open the window, carefully crawled under the piano, fumbled to open the secret compartment, and took out a large bag of white powder.

After getting the white powder, he did not linger any longer, but returned the same way, closed the window, and ran away.

Just when he thought everything was resolved smoothly, a voice sounded behind him.

"Mr. Hirata, what are you doing here so late at night?"

Hirata Kazuaki turned to look at Kitagawa Taki, who had a playful look on his face, and tried to remain calm. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

"Under the piano?"

Hirata Kazuaki knew that the truth had been revealed, so he gritted his teeth and reached for the dagger at his waist.

"Click~"

That was the sound of a gun being loaded.

Hirata Kazuaki looked up and saw the gun was pointed at his forehead.

"Mr. Detective, what are you doing?"

"I don't want to waste time talking. Tell me who your accomplices are, or you die!"

The cold murderous intent made Hirata and Ming shudder.

"I said, I said, it's Ken Nishimoto, Hideo Kawashima, Isamu Kameyama, and Tatsuji Kuroiwa!"

"there is none left?"

"It's gone, it's really gone!"

Kitagawa Taki put away his gun and broke Hirata Kazuaki's neck.

Hirata Kazuaki looked incredulous, as if saying, he had confessed everything, so why did they kill him?

"I didn't say I wouldn't kill you."

Kitagawa Taki searched the bag of white powder from Hirata Kazuaki and took some out with a knife.

Then, a fireball destroyed the body.

……

When I returned to the piano room, the two people on the floor were still sleeping soundly.

Kitagawa Taki sprinkled some of the white powder he had just taken under the piano and in the secret compartment.

After doing this, he returned to his sleeping bag...

The next morning.

Until Xiaolan and the other two came over, Kogoro Mouri was still sleeping soundly.

Xiaolan asked with concern: "Taki, nothing happened last night, right?"

"No." Beichuan Taki shook his head. "How did you guys sleep last night?"

"pretty good."

Xiaolan smiled.

In fact, she wanted to sleep in the same room with Haibara Ai last night, but was declined.

Only three people could get a room each.

The old policeman looked at his watch and said, "The Tokyo police should be here soon, right?"

"Tokyo?"

"Don't you know?" the old policeman explained, "This place is under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. I reported the matter yesterday."

Needless to say, the person coming must be Inspector Megure.

As expected, not long after, Inspector Megure came to the community center with Takagi Wataru and several other police officers.

Inspector Megure didn't expect to meet Kitagawa Taki on such a small island. When he saw Kogoro Mouri sleeping soundly, he felt that he had found the root of the problem.

After learning about the case from Kitagawa Takiki, Inspector Megure squatted on the ground and tried to wake up Mouri Kogoro.

"Hey, hey, wake up, Maori brother!"

Kogoro Mouri was sleepy and didn't know what was going on.

"Inspector?"

"Brother Maori, the sun is already high in the sky, it's time to get up."

"Is this place also under the jurisdiction of Tokyo?" Kogoro Mouri yawned.

"That's right, Brother Beichuan said you have a sheet music?"

"Oh, this."

Kogoro Mouri took out the music score. He stared at it for a long time while he was on guard last night, but still couldn't figure it out.

Officer Megure took the music sheet and said to Takagi Wataru, "Brother Takagi, take two people with the old man and go get the person over. We're going to conduct an investigation!"
