Shizuka Hiratsuka doesn't understand love!

Mm, it tastes like happiness! ~

"I've also heard about the general situation from Xiaolan." Fujiko stood beside Shizuka Hiratsuka with a smile. She took off her sunglasses because it was getting dark and listened to the monks' mourning voices coming from the mansion with some amusement.

"A famous pianist would suddenly go crazy and set fire to himself, burning his wife and children to death." Fujiko chuckled and shook his head. Although he was not a detective, his mind was much smarter than that of an ordinary person. He did not believe such a ridiculous thing at all.

"If that pianist named Keiji Aso really had a mental problem, then his death is definitely related to the people in this village."

"Eh, is that so?" Xiaolan looked at Fujiko in surprise. She didn't expect her to come to such a conclusion.

"Of course, this is just my guess." Fujiko chuckled and shrugged, then put his hands behind his head and stretched his body gently.

"But conflicts and contradictions can easily arise between people. Add to that the human impulse that easily drives people, and it's not surprising that they do anything."

"Okay, what terrible things are you saying in front of a child?" Shizuka Hiratsuka knocked Fujiko on the head in annoyance and rolled her eyes at the smiling Fujiko.

"Really? A dead person still makes others worry about him." Kogoro Mouri leaned on the stairs with an unhappy look on his face, a cigarette in his mouth and eating a rice ball in a few bites.

"In my opinion, the guy who plays the piano in the flames when he dies is definitely not a normal person."

"Playing the piano in the flames, it feels like an urban legend." After hearing Kogoro Mouri's complaint, Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head with amusement.

"If Yuanzi were here, he might even be so excited as to drag us to the ruins to see if there's anything strange there."

"Ah, Sonoko is indeed very interested in this kind of thing." Upon hearing this, Xiaolan also laughed. Although she was not very brave, Sonoko was really interested in this kind of urban legend based on hearsay.

"By the way, what song was Keiji Aso playing when he died?" Looking at Kogoro Mouri smoking, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little greedy. She took out her cigarette box from her trouser pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

“It’s Beethoven’s Moonlight.”

"Oh, a famous song. What a pity! I guess after this incident, people on this island won't dare to listen to this song anymore, right?" Shizuka Hiratsuka took out her lighter and was about to light a cigarette while casually complaining, but was interrupted by the sound of a piano that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Eh? Do we have to play piano music during rituals now?" Shizuka Hiratsuka, who is not very sensitive to music, was a little surprised why the sound of piano was heard at this time.

"Baby Jing, this is not an ordinary piano piece~" After listening for a few seconds and recognizing the source of the song, Fujiko's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and curiosity, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Hey, what is that?"

"Oh no, it's moonlight!" Conan, who did not receive Fujiko's answer and recognized the song two seconds later than Fujiko, saw his face change drastically. He supported himself on the steps with one hand, turned over and ran into the mansion.

"Moonlight?" Seeing that Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro both chased after him immediately, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was not too worried about any accidents, turned her head curiously.

"Is it Beethoven's Moonlight?"

"That's right~" Fujiko walked to Shizuka Hiratsuka's side with a smile, and gently put her arm around Shizuka Hiratsuka's arm, her eyes full of watching the fun.

"Don't forget, whether it's the deceased Aso Keiji, or the former village chief who died two years ago as Xiaolan mentioned just now, they were all accompanied by this famous song when they died~"

"That is to say." Her expression suddenly changed, and she looked towards the room at the end of the corridor that was surrounded by a crowd, and Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned.

"Someone died again?"

"I guess so." Fujiko chuckled and nodded, then walked slowly forward with her arm around Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm.

"But I'm more curious about who did it, and if it was just this one time."

"...You really have a bad taste, Fujiko." Looking at the smiling Fujiko beside her with subtle eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know how to complain for a moment.

"Let's go and take a look." Pulling Hiratsuka Shizuka's arm, Fujiko easily pushed away the crowd in front of her with her hand. Amid their strange gazes, she slowly walked into the room where the murder had occurred.

"Has something happened?" Her vision broadened. She first glanced at Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan in the room. After confirming that they were all fine, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the wet body lying on the piano.

"Xiao Jing, you're here." Nodding to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Kogoro Mouri stood beside the corpse, watching a woman stirring something on the corpse.

"Well, I heard that strange sound, so of course I had to come over and take a look." He chuckled and nodded. If the people around her hadn't looked so serious, Shizuka Hiratsuka might have acted more relaxed.

After taking a quick look around and realizing there was nothing she could do to help, Shizuka Hiratsuka thought for a moment and pulled Fujiko against the wall.

"What's wrong, Fujiko? You seem to care a lot about that doctor?" Thinking of helping Kogoro Mouri to calm the situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned against the wall with her arms folded. As her eyes wandered casually, she found that Fujiko beside her was staring at the doctor who was helping with the autopsy with an interested look.

"Hehe, because I found some interesting things~"

Chapter 169 Are all murderers so particular nowadays?

"Something interesting?"

After hearing what Fujiko said, Shizuya Hiratsuka, who had nothing to do, turned her gaze to the doctor who was carefully examining the corpse.

"I remember we met just now. Brother Kogoro introduced her to me. What was her name? Oh, it's Dr. Asai Narushi." Blinking her eyes slightly, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked up and down at this doctor who seemed to have a good figure and appearance.

"Hmm?" But after observing carefully for a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Baby Shizuka, you figured it out~" Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's reaction, Fujiko smiled and nodded.

"That's about right. But didn't I tell you, Fujiko, that I don't care when there are few people around. But when there are many people around, you'd better not call me in such a cheesy way, it will cause misunderstanding." Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at Fujiko with some disgust. Having no good way to deal with her, she had to focus her attention elsewhere.

"That Dr. Asai Makoto is a man."

"Indeed, you can say he is gifted. I can see that except for a little makeup on his face, he doesn't use a mask or anything like that. It's rare for a boy to be so handsome." He shrugged with a smile. Fujiko had seen too many people like him and was not surprised. He just found someone he could tease among a group of boring people.

"But Xiaojing, you seem very calm. I thought someone with your personality wouldn't be able to stand someone like that."

"What's so unbearable? It's not against the law. It's not my turn to comment on my hobbies." Her neck twisted tiredly, making a cracking sound. Hiratsuka Shizuka had already taken her eyes away from Asai Narumi.

"Besides, I've seen people who are cuter and prettier than women." Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't help but think of Huajian Yingluo in the tavern, and shook her head with a smile.

"No, I should say I've seen things even more exaggerated than this. I believe even you, Fujiko, would be surprised when you see that child."

"Oh, even I am curious to receive such an evaluation from you, Xiaojing~" Fujiko's eyes flickered slightly, and she instinctively wanted to be alert, but after hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's general description, she put her mind at ease.

She's just a kid, even if she looks cute it won't have any impact on me.

"What's wrong, Kogoro-kun, have you asked enough questions?" Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka and Fujiko were huddled together to talk alone, the people watching outside the room began to slowly disperse, and finally only an old policeman was left standing in the room.

"That's about right. I should say I didn't get any useful information." He shook his head helplessly. The case happened too suddenly, and there were too many people in the mansion. It would be too difficult for Kogoro Mouri to find out everything by himself.

Fortunately, Kogoro Mouri is not such a hardworking and inflexible person.

All the people around are on this island, and there is only one ship leaving the island every day. He has asked Xiaolan to call the police. When the police arrive tomorrow, there will be enough manpower.

"Let's leave for now and wait until the police come tomorrow." Looking at the corpse still lying on the piano, Kogoro Mouri said while scratching his hair.

"That's fine. We have already booked a hotel, so we can just go there directly." Nodding, Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of staying in this place.

"Speaking of which, Brother Kogoro, do you have the invitation letter with you?" The group walked out of the mansion and slowly moved forward on the dim road. With her hands in her trouser pockets, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who felt a little bored, thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak to Kogoro Mouri.

"I have it with me, but why do you want to see it?" With some surprise, Kogoro Mouri reached into the inner pocket of his suit, took out the neatly folded letter and handed it to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Xiao Jing, aren't you not interested in this kind of case at all?"

"I'm not interested, but isn't it boring to just walk around like this? I thought it would be nice to have something to kill time." Reaching out to take the invitation letter which was made up of small pieces of text cut out from newspapers, Shizuka Hiratsuka casually read it under the nearby street lights.

"You said that the person who sent this invitation letter to Kogoro-kun should be closely related to this murder case." After quickly scanning the contents of the invitation letter, Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in confusion.

She is really not good at reasoning.

"That's for sure~ Using the name of a person who has been dead for twelve years to invite others to come to this island at this time, it would be strange to say that it has nothing to do with the previous case~" Without giving Kogoro Mori a chance to speak, Fujiko, who was standing next to Shizuka Hiratsuka, answered Shizuka Hiratsuka's doubts with a smile.

"Is that so?" He nodded in understanding, but this made Shizuka Hiratsuka even more puzzled.

If the other party really wanted to kill people in a planned way, then why did they invite detective Kogoro Mouri to come?

Do you like to make things more difficult for yourself, or do you want to do something with the identity of Kogoro Mori?

Her consciousness was lost in thought for a moment, and Shizuka Hiratsuka followed the group silently with a paper in her hand.

Walking beside Xiaolan, looking at the thoughtful Hiratsuka Shizuka, Conan forced himself to resist the opportunity to pretend to explain in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The eyes behind his eyes pretended to casually glance at Fujiko beside Hiratsuka Shizuka, but they ended up looking at each other.

Conan pretended to be a little embarrassed and showed an innocent face to Fujiko who was looking at him with a smile, and turned his head away nervously.

"Not good!" Sweat broke out on his forehead, but Conan didn't dare to reach out and wipe it.

From the moment they were in the mansion just now, Conan felt Fujiko's undisguised look of inquiry.

That kind of look made Conan feel nervous, and he didn't even dare to be too obvious during his on-site investigation. The feeling of being restricted everywhere really made Conan very uncomfortable.

Especially now, when he was so careful to observe Fujiko's expression to judge something, he was discovered by Fujiko in an instant, which made Conan crazy and wanted to pull his hair.

I recalled my behavior at the crime scene in my mind. Although it was a bit unchildlike, I reacted quickly enough. After realizing something was wrong, I was very careful about my actions. There shouldn't be any big problems.

only.

"Ahhh, who on earth is this friend of Aunt Jing's? I felt something was off the mark the last time we met, and this time it's even scarier. How can she be so perceptive? And she's always smiling, making it impossible to tell what her emotions are. Even when she saw a corpse, she didn't seem scared at all!"

"But Aunt Jing never seems to be afraid of corpses. People are divided into groups, right?"

Not knowing that Conan was struggling and complaining madly, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the invitation letter in her hand again. Feeling that she couldn't see anything, she was going to return it to Kogoro Mouri.

"But are suspects these days all that particular? There's a full moon and shadows starting to disappear and all that. Wouldn't it be better to just say I'm planning to kill someone?"

"Um?!"

Chapter 170: Don't be too polite to me~

After hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, Conan, who had been lowering his head to reduce his presence, suddenly raised his head.

Just one sentence made him realize that something was wrong.

"Yes, the shadows are beginning to disappear. The so-called shadows are shrouded in light, and this light is the piano piece Moonlight! In this case, this case is not over yet!"

His expression became anxious. Conan believed in his judgment. At this time, he must guard the crime scene. No matter what the murderer wants to do, they must ensure that the murderer will not return to the scene to check if there are any omissions!

And then there's that all-important piano.

but.

As soon as his mouth opened, Conan clenched his teeth so hard that he almost bit his tongue.

Conan moved his feet carefully and hid his body behind Xiaolan's legs. With the help of the darkness of the shadow, he secretly glanced at Fujiko beside Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Damn it! Normally, it's fine. If I tell Xiaolan, Uncle, Aunt Jing, and others about my judgment, they won't find it strange. But with this woman, I have a hunch that I dare not show something too strange in front of her! However, if I don't tell her about this judgment, then I will miss an important clue!"

Conan's heart began to conflict, and his eyes kept changing, but in the end, his emphasis on the case gradually prevailed.

"I just need to act more like a child and speak more ignorantly! Just like before, I will use an inconspicuous way to let my uncle understand what I mean." With a decision in mind, Conan sorted out the expression on his face, walked out from behind Xiaolan's legs, cleared his throat and was about to say something.

"Let's not talk about why this person wrote the invitation letter like this. I have no interest in a guy who is suspected of being a murderer." Reaching out and taking the note from Shizuka Hiratsuka's hand, Fujiko unfolded the letter with one hand and glanced over it with a smile.

"But I'm a little curious. The murderer went to such great lengths to link the deceased to Beethoven's Moonlight, and even mailed such a meaningful invitation. His intentions must be more than simple, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked curiously. Knowing that Fujiko was much smarter than her, she was too lazy to ask herself and asked directly.

"Emmm, this is just my guess~" Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes on herself, Fujiko nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao Jing, you should know that the song Moonlight has three movements~"

"Three movements?" Shizuka Hiratsuka blinked in surprise and didn't react for a moment, but Xiaolan beside her had already understood.

"Ms. Fengzi, is it possible that the murderer could continue to kill people?"

"It's just a guess, but it's very possible, isn't it~" Fujiko said softly, smiling and putting the letter in Xiaolan's hand.

"After all, the song played in the piano room was only the first movement~"

"Is that really the case? Damn it, I almost got tricked!" Taking the invitation letter from Xiaolan's hand, Maori Kogoro put it into his pocket arrogantly, then ran towards the mansion without looking back.

"Dad!" Looking at Kogoro Mouri's back getting farther and farther away, Xiaolan called out anxiously.

"Sister Xiaolan, let's go to the mansion too. We can't let uncle go alone!" Conan encouraged, reaching out to pull Xiaolan's clothes.

Conan was not relieved when his idea was proposed. Instead, he became more wary of Fujiko.

Although she didn't make any logical inferences, the fact that the murderer might have killed more than one person was enough to make Conan pay attention to her!

After all, Conan didn't know whether the other party really didn't see deeper.

If he had no good way to get rid of Shizuka Hiratsuka's pursuit of such a dangerous person, he would definitely stay away from him.

Why get rid of Shizuka Hiratsuka?

It's obvious to the naked eye how attached the woman named Mineko is to Hiratsuka Shizuka. If it weren't for the fact that it's not good to tease Hiratsuka Shizuka too much, since he still respects her very much, Conan would have suspected that she had bad intentions towards Hiratsuka Shizuka.

I believe Uncle Kogoro also noticed this. Although he was always confused about the case, his older experience allowed him to clearly distinguish many things. Otherwise, with his lustful personality, it would be impossible for him to ignore such a beautiful woman.

I think Xiaolan is the only one who doesn't feel anything strange at the moment.
