People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

"Speaking of which, how did you guys still manage to catch up?" Kogoro Mouri asked, looking at the three people in front of him with droopy eyes.

"It's all because of Conan..."

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's all stay and keep watch. After all, there's strength in numbers," Asakawa Yu said, acting as a peacemaker.

Afterwards, the group encountered Ms. Narumi, who had brought them a late-night snack.

The group chatted and ate. Suddenly, a noise outside the window startled them.

"Who is it?!" Conan ran to the window and jumped out, chasing after the person outside.

"Don't run away!!!" Seeing the two chasing after them, Asakawa Yu and Xiaolan had no choice but to wait in the room.

“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a proper chat like this, Narumi,” Asakawa Yu’s words broke the silence.

"Yeah, after all, everyone goes their separate ways after graduation. Asakawa, you should have a girlfriend by now, right? Back in college, you had so many guys chasing after you, you couldn't count them on one hand," Narumi teased, picking up where she left off.

"No way, I'm still single. The only girl I can really talk to is you. Oh right, now we have to add Miss Xiaolan too." The scary thing is that you're a guy. Of course, I was thinking that to myself.

"Hey, was Mr. Asakawa that popular when he was in college?" Ran joined in the conversation.

"Of course! With his handsome looks, gentle demeanor, and kind-hearted personality, countless girls in the university were after him. But he didn't even fancy a single one of them. Speaking of which, you're not gay, are you?" Asai Narumi said with a laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that."

Hahahahahahaha……

A while later, Conan and Kogoro Mouri, having failed to achieve their goal, returned to the community center. After deciding to take turns keeping watch, everyone slowly fell asleep.

………………

"Brother Mori, wake up." Hearing the voice, Kogoro Mori squinted and slowly opened his eyes, but from his swaying appearance, it was clear that he was still in a daze.

"You are, Inspector Megure, oh, right..."

"If you're looking for the sheet music for 'Moonlight Sonata,' Mr. Asakawa already gave it to me." Inspector Megure explained, looking at Mori who was constantly searching for something on him.

"Also, we're going to hold an investigation at the village office now, so come and help us out." With that, he led Mori outside.

It was 6 p.m., and the interrogation was still ongoing. Just as everyone was waiting, a chilling piano sound came from the piano room upstairs.

It's "Moonlight Sonata"!!!

Upon hearing the noise, everyone rushed upstairs, but it was too late. All that awaited them was Mr. Kuroiwa's cold corpse…

Witnessing this terrifying scene, a shadow fell over everyone's hearts.

"Damn it!!! Who is the culprit?!" Conan pounded on the wall with one hand, his eyes gradually turning serious as he shouted inwardly with resentment.

Asakawa Yu, who had been silently observing all along, simply smiled slightly, turned her gaze to a certain person, and then quickly looked away.

-----------------------------------

Right after Dr. Narumi finished the autopsy, everyone at the scene fell into investigation and contemplation once again…

"This code is actually quite simple if you know the trick." Just when everyone was at a loss, Conan's words were like a lit match falling into an oil drum, igniting a flame of hope in everyone's hearts.

After explaining how to use English letters and musical scores to deduce the code, the man named Nishimoto began to laugh uncontrollably, his eyes filled with deep fear.

"It's him! It's that guy! Keiji Aso isn't dead yet!!!"

But after the elderly police officer explained that Keiji Aso must be dead, everyone learned that Aso had left behind some musical scores after his death...

"Then hurry up and get it!" Megure and Mori shouted in unison.

"Yes, sir!!!" After saying that, the old police officer hurriedly ran outside.

"Wait a minute, officer, I'll go with you." Conan took off running outside.

"It's okay, Ran, I'll go keep an eye on Conan."

"Ah, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Asakawa." After the exchange, Asakawa quickly followed.

………………

On the way, Conan chatted with the old police officer about the past of Keiji Aso, Mr. Kuroiwa, and others, while Yu Asakawa listened quietly beside him.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, the old police officer was searching alone, while Conan sat idly in a chair. Looking at Asakawa Yu in front of him, Conan felt a strange unease, sensing that this gentle and refined man might know some important clues. So he asked, "Asakawa-nii, what are your thoughts on this case?"

[Hmm? Why is he suddenly asking for my opinion? Has Conan discovered something? Anyway, since that's the case, I'll give him a little spoiler.]

“Actually, this case isn’t as complicated as you think,” Asakawa Yu said slowly.

What?! Does this person already know who the murderer is? That's impossible! I clearly saw that he didn't investigate anything, how could he have found the murderer before me?

"Could it be that, Asakawa-nii, you already know who the murderer is?" Conan asked, his mind filled with complex emotions, but his expression remained innocent.

"So what if I said yes?"

"Then we can go and catch the murderer! Do you want to watch a serial killer go unpunished?" Conan shouted excitedly.

"Is that so? How do you know those people who were killed were innocent?"

"Even so, that's no excuse for murder. Evil people should be punished by law!"

"What if even the law can't bring them the punishment they deserve? As far as I know, every year in this country, there are people who use money to evade legal punishment. Even if rich people break the law, most of the time they can avoid legal sanctions through money. So what should you do then? You must have heard this saying: 'When justice is not served, pure revenge is the only justice, even noble one, isn't it?'"

Asakawa Yu's words struck Conan like a giant wave crashing against rocks, leaving him deeply shocked and unable to calm down for a long time.

"Even so, I will find the culprit and bring him to justice." After thinking it over, Conan gave his answer, but his small and slightly trembling voice was so unconvincing.

Just as the two fell silent, Ran came running in from outside, panting. After learning that everyone thought the murder case was over and had gone back, Conan couldn't help but feel worried and immediately ran back to the community center.

However, they were unaware that the seed of revenge was quietly sprouting in that piano room...
