Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Kazuma Kudo raised an eyebrow: "This piece of paper wasn't here when we looked at it during the day."

"What paper?" Conan stood on tiptoe, trying to understand. "What's written on it?"

Kudo Kazuma was just about to pick up his unlucky brother so he could see him more easily when suddenly a man in the crowd, his hair standing on end, let out a scream and ran away in a panic.

"Huh?" Kogoro Mouri was taken aback. "Who is it? Why such a big reaction?"

“That’s Mr. Nishimoto, who used to be quite powerful and influential.”

The village chief's secretary explained, "Mr. Nishimoto is a spendthrift when it comes to money, gambling, and women. However, after the previous village chief passed away, he rarely went out, as if he was afraid of something."

Upon learning that this man named Nishimoto Ken was also a mission target, Kudo Kazuma shrugged. What was there to be afraid of?

He has a guilty conscience; he's afraid of being killed.

"By the way, village chief, you and Mr. Nishimoto are childhood friends, right?"

No sooner had the village chief's secretary finished speaking than Xiao Lan, panting, dragged a policeman with white hair into the room.

"Phew... The police are here... They're here..."

Seeing that both of them were out of breath, Kudo Kazuma couldn't help but ask, "Ran, what's wrong with you two?"

Xiaolan shook her head, somewhat helplessly: "The policeman wasn't at the police station at all. I went to several places before I finally found him..."

The older policeman looked at everyone and asked, "Who called me?"

"Who it is doesn't matter, does it?" Kogoro Mouri pointed helplessly at the body lying on the piano. "There's been a murder, officer!"

Kogoro Mouri, who had once been a detective, was speechless.

The body is right here. How slow-witted is this old man?

In comparison, Inspector Megure is much better than this old cop!

The old policeman took two steps back after seeing the corpse on the piano, then muttered under his breath, "This isn't a murder case; it's clearly Mr. Aso's ghost haunting us..."

Noticing Kogoro Mouri's speechless expression, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, anyway, it's getting late. Let's start the investigation tomorrow morning... Everyone, go and get some rest."

The police didn't intend to investigate, and there was nothing they could do but return to their hotel.

On the way back, Makoto Asai, who was traveling with them, said with some admiration, "Conan's reasoning is so clear and logical, it's really surprising."

Xiao Lan said with a smile, "Because, this child loves to imitate detectives solving cases."

Makoto Asai affirmed, "His persuasive skills are amazing; he really does look like a detective."

“That’s true.” Kudo Kazuma said, counting on his fingers, “This kid is bold and meticulous, and his logical thinking is very clear. He has the qualities that an excellent detective should have. I think he might catch up with Uncle Mori in a few years.”

Conan chuckled inwardly, but smiled sheepishly and said, "I was just imitating how Uncle works..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was immediately crushed by his future father-in-law.

Kogoro Mouri pressed Conan's head down with one hand and waved his other hand, saying, "This kid is far from being as good as me! Kazuma, don't praise him too much, or he'll forget who he is."

Seeing Asai Makoto cover his mouth and laugh, Ran couldn't help but laugh along: "Then let's go back to the hotel first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Asai said honestly to the group, "Detective Mori, and this young detective, please solve the case as soon as possible."

She lowered her eyes with a hint of helplessness and said, "Because I no longer want to do autopsies."

With his hands on his hips, Kogoro Mouri confidently declared, "No problem! I'm a famous detective; I'll solve the case quickly!"

Looking at Makoto Asai's silhouette in the moonlight, Kazuma Kudo sighed softly.

This Dr. Narumi both desires revenge for his father and hopes someone will stop him. Despite meticulously planning his murders and remaining remarkably calm, he seems unable to accept the feeling of his hands being stained with blood and his increasing depravity…

He is a very complex person, and also someone who deserves sympathy.

Should we save him?

As he was pondering this, he suddenly noticed that Kogoro Mouri had taken off running towards the community center.

"Huh?" Kudo Kazuma, coming back to his senses, looked puzzled. "Why did the old man run away?"

Ran said, "Conan just mentioned that every case happens near a piano, so Dad went to the community center. He probably went to check if there's anything wrong with the piano."

Kazuma Kudo said, "According to what Conan said before, there might be more than one murder case. Let's go take a look; maybe we can help the old man."

Conan asked curiously, "That's strange. You've been watching Dr. Honesty the whole time. Is there a problem?"

Kazuma Kudo shook his head: "I just feel like she's paying more attention to me? It's been like this since the first time we met."

Conan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Maybe it's just your imagination..."

As the three rushed to the community center, another man, Kudo Kazuma, wearing a white hoodie and a mask, knocked on the clinic door...

When the three arrived at the community center, the old policeman was putting down a set of bedding and muttering to Kogoro Mouri.

"What are you thinking, wanting to spend the night sleeping with a corpse?"

He then looked at Conan and the other two who had entered and said, "Don't you think this is abnormal? It's one thing for you to be with the corpse, but you also have to bring a few children with you."

Kogoro Mouri, somewhat exasperated, asked the three, "Didn't I tell you to go back to the inn first?"

"I'm here to help," Kudo Kazuma commented bluntly. "Dear Mori-san, didn't you come back to investigate clues? Are you going to sleep already?"

Conan pointed to the body stuffed into a body bag: "This? Who moved the body?"

"I put it in the body bag," the old policeman said with a compassionate look. "If it stayed in that position for too long, even the Bodhisattva would feel sorry for it."

"Then, where are the sheet music here? Why is it gone too?" Kudo Kazuma pointed to where the sheet music had been and asked the old policeman, looking somewhat weary. "You didn't put it away too, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly stepped onto the piano stool to go and see.

The older policeman smiled and took a piece of paper out of his pocket: "Young man, you guessed right. You can't just call it lost, can you?"

For a moment, the four men looked at the old policeman with speechless disbelief.

Did this old man know he had been tampering with the crime scene?

Is this a legitimate police officer?

Kazuma Kudo sighed deeply: "When will Inspector Megure arrive...?"

Even though he wasn't a detective and had no intention of solving the case, seeing the old policeman's actions still made him miss Inspector Megure.

Although the Metropolitan Police Department is pretty incompetent and relies on detectives for everything, at least they respond to calls promptly, cordon off crime scenes quickly, and don't cause any damage...

Compared to the veteran police officers, they actually seemed much better.

Xiao Lan, who works full-time as a police officer, said, "There are no boats tonight, they won't arrive until tomorrow morning."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the sheet music the old policeman was holding.

"Hey, this sheet music is 'Moonlight Sonata'!"

Xiao Lan sat down and tried to play the piece according to the sheet music.

Meanwhile, at the Moon Shadow Island Clinic, Makoto Asai feigned ignorance towards the masked boy in front of him: "What are you talking about? What do you mean I killed Mr. Kawashima? Why would I kill him? Isn't it inappropriate for you to come here so late at night, especially for a girl like me?"

“It’s not just him.” Kudo Kazuma didn’t seem to mind Asai Makoto’s attitude at all, and instead spoke calmly, “Kawashima Hideo, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Nishimoto Ken, and Kameyama, who died two years ago…”

"They were the ones who killed Keiji Aso's family, so you must kill them to avenge your father, Keiji Aso, and your family."

"Am I right? Asano Makoto?"
