Vol 20 Chapter 39: Cursed

Afterwards, Hirata Kazuaki drove them out of the room and slammed the door shut.

"In short, before the end of the ritual, please wait at the entrance!" After dropping this sentence, he turned and walked out quickly.

Hirata Kazuaki had just disappeared in the corner of the corridor, and Asai Narumi in a black dress walked over.

"You are still here," Asai said with a smile.

"Miss Chengshi." Mao Lilan said, "Are you also here for the ceremony?"

Asai Nodded and said, "Yes, because when I came to this island, the first post-mortem was Mr. Kameyama, so I wanted to come and burn incense."

Then, she pointed to the middle-aged man standing behind him and introduced: "This is Mr. Shimizu, which is what we just mentioned."

Masato Shimizu smiled and said, "When we first met, I am Shimizu, so please show me more."

In this way, I waited until 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky began to darken, when the former village chief's ritual began.

In the spacious room where the memorial service was held, the villagers who participated in the memorial service were all dressed in black, kneeling and sitting in front of Mr. Guishan's photo. A monk was sitting in front of the photo, knocking the wooden fish one after another.

"Kawashima." Kuroiwa Tatsuji whispered to Hideo Kawashima, who was kneeling next to him, "You hired a detective to spy on my heart, right."

"How is it possible." Hideo Kawashima sneered and stood up and walked out.

"Do you want to escape!" Heiyan Chenci growled low.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Since the ceremonies were being held in the public hall, Kogoro Mori and the others could only sit on the steps outside and wait.

Looking up at the dim starlight in the sky, Xie Chen suddenly thought of the piano in the room.

That piano should have not been used for several years, but the sound was very normal. Xie Chen thought that someone might have adjusted the rhythm secretly for some purpose.

And the article in the letter that Kogoro Mori received, what does it mean?

Just thinking of this, a soft piano sound suddenly came from the public hall.

"moonlight……"

Without hesitation for a second, Xie Chen turned around and pushed open the door of the public hall. Because of the sound of the piano, a large number of people had gathered outside the door of the room where the piano was placed.

Xie Chen ran to the door of the room and pushed open the door.

"Hey, kid..."

The moment the door was pushed open, everyone was greeted by Hideo Kawashima lying on the piano.

"It's Mr. Kawashima." Kogoro Mouri pushed away from the crowd and walked over quickly.

Although Hideo Kawashima is lying on the piano, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is still in progress.

Kogoro Mori walked into the room and probed the breath of Hideo Tankawajima, then shook his head and said softly, "He's dead."

"What did you say?" Heiyan Chenci took a breath.

Mouri Kogoro ignored Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and turned to Mouriran and said, "Xiaolan, hurry up and rule the police."

"Yes." Mao Lilan immediately ran out of the room.

Kogoro Mouri said, "Doctor Chengshi, would you please come for an autopsy?"

"Okay." Asai Nodded, and walked into the room for an autopsy.

Xie Chen frowned slightly, the letter had clearly predicted that on the night of the full moon, there would be a news that someone would die on this Moonshadow Island, but he had not had time to stop it.

At this time, Hirata Kazuaki suddenly shouted in horror: "It's a curse! This is the curse of that piano!"

Kogoro Moori glanced at him, and said with some disdain: "What is the curse, it is not the piano that makes the sound."

He took out a small tape recorder from the piano stand, held it in front of everyone and said, "This is the tape recorder." After pressing the pause button of the recorder, the piano music stopped playing.

"Judging from what happened two years ago, this is a planned killing."

"Kill...Kill..."

"Hey," Murazawa said at this moment on Monday: "Don't talk about messy things, who are you?"

Kogoro Mouri sorted his clothes, and then slowly said, "I am a famous detective from Tokyo, Kogoro Mouri."

After hearing the name of Kogoro Mouri, the crowd began to talk.

"Sky pilot."

"No, he often appears in mystery novels, right."

"That person is wise."

"Then who is this person."

Seeing that the people on the island had never heard of his name, Moori Kogoro looked disappointed, sighed with his hands on the piano stand.

Xie Chen shrugged. Speaking of which, he has resolved only three cases. It is normal to not be well-known.

Afterwards, Xie Chen walked into the room, touched the water stains on the ground with his fingers, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"seawater……"

While the crowd was talking about it, Asai's post-mortem work was completed.

"It was thirty minutes to an hour ago." Asai Narumi said to Mouri Kogoro, "The cause of death was suffocation. I think Mr. Kawashima should have been drowned in the sea."

Kogoro Mouri asked, "Did he die because of drowning?"

"If I don't examine it, I can't make a sentence."

Xie Chen suddenly said at this moment: "I think that what Dr. Chengshi said is not wrong. Look, the coat on the beach outside must belong to that Mr. Kawashima."

Kogoro Mori walked to the window to check, and he had a black coat on the beach outside.

Xie Chen walked to the back door and continued: "From that door to the piano, there are also traces of being dragged from the beach, and Mr. Kawashima's back is also stained with mud and sand."

"From the situation that this door or the windows of the room are all locked." Xie Chen immediately pressed the play button of the recorder. "The first few minutes of the tape should be blank."

"This... this guy... when is he..." Mouri Kogoro shook his mouth.

"I'm afraid the prisoner took Mr. Kawashima to the beach to drown in the middle of the ritual, and then carried the body to this room, then locked it, pressed the switch of the tape recorder, and walked out of the room to the corridor, isn't it, uncle."

Kogoro Mouri was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a strong smile: "That's right, that's right."

Suddenly realizing his embarrassment, he coughed slightly. ..
