Vol 20 Chapter 44: The disappeared piano

At the same time, Mao Lilan's scream came from the direction of the warehouse.

"Xiao Lan..."

Xie Chen immediately turned around and ran to the warehouse. In the gloomy warehouse, Nishimoto didn't know who was hung from the beam.

"Mr. Police." Xie Chen shook his head and said, "Hurry up and notify Officer Mumu."

"I know."

After the elderly policeman went out, Xie Chen walked to the shelf to the side. On the shelf was a small tape recorder. Inside the tape recorder was a 30-minute single-sided tape.

"Xie Chen, look." Mao Lilan said suddenly: "Mr. Nishimoto has scores again."

Xie Chen looked in the direction pointed by Mao Lilan, and a stack of music scores was neatly placed at Nishimoto Ken's feet.

"Why on earth this time."

"Suicide note..."

Ten minutes later, Officer Mumu led people to the scene.

Officer Megome looked at the score and said, "According to the suicide note, he feels regret for killing Mr. Kawashima and Mr. Kuroiwa."

Mouri Kogoro said, "Nishimoto killed those two people?"

"The motivation seems to be because the five of them had made mistakes before and killed them in order not to be exposed. These five refer to the Kameyama who died two years ago."

Officer Megome said: "There are Kawashima and Kuroiwa who were killed this time, Nishimoto who hanged himself and died, and Keiji Aso who set fire to himself twelve years ago."

Kogoro Mouri said, "The score left by that pianist?"

"What are they doing with these codes?"

Kogoro Mouri squashed his chin and said, "It turns out that Nishimoto was afraid that the secrets of the past would be discovered, so he infiltrated this warehouse to destroy the music scores, but he couldn't find the music scores. He chose to commit suicide because he was desperate."

Xie Chen suddenly said, "I don't think it was suicide."

"Yep?"

Xie Chen pointed at Nishimoto's feet and said, "Because there is no way to hang yourself without a footstep."

Mouri Kogoro said, "Will you put it away?"

"How is this possible..." Xie Chen curled his lips and said, "Also, I don't think anyone would use these secret signs to write his suicide note."

Officer Megome said, "Then you mean that the murderer is someone else?"

"I saw a suspicious person at the time."

"what?"

"There were two people in the piano room. One broke the window and escaped. The other was Mr. Murazawa. He didn't know who was knocked out at the time. Now he is receiving treatment from Dr. Cheng Mi in the piano room."

Kogoro Mouri said loudly, "Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

Xie Chen smiled and said, "You didn't ask either."

Officer Megome looked at the elderly policeman who was rummaging in the warehouse and asked, "How is it, hasn't the music score left by Aso been discovered yet?"

The elderly policeman said: "It's all twelve years ago anyway."

So Officer Mumu came to the piano room while he was looking for music scores. After being bandaged on Monday, Murazawa was still lying unconscious on the floor.

"I haven't regained consciousness yet?"

auzw.com "Yes." Heiyan Reiko said, "I think it's probably a concussion."

"But, Miss Kuroiwa, I want to ask you, what the **** is Murazawa doing here so late?"

Heiyan Lingzi shouted: "How do I know this!"

Officer Megumi picked up the small gray hammer that had fallen on Murazawa's side and asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know!" Heiyan Lingzi snatched it over, and said angrily: "But I always hold it carefully on Monday."

Looking at the things in Heiyan Lingzi's hand, Xie Chen frowned slightly.

"Okay." Officer Mumu stood up and said to the officer on the side: "Call all the suspects at the Dojin office to gather."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the police officers carried Murazawa out on Monday, and Xie Chen walked to the piano and fumbled under it.

"Xie Chen, what are you doing? I'm going to the town office." Mao Lilan called.

"The person escaping from this room seems to be looking for something under the piano." While speaking, Xie Chen pushed open the secret door under the piano, "found it."

Mao Lilan also got under the piano, "Isn't this a hidden secret door? Very interesting."

There was nothing inside the secret door. Xie Chen used his fingers to dip the white powder on the ground, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Heroin..."

At the same time, all the suspects were driven to the town hall.

"In the three incidents that happened on the island, the murderer is definitely the same person. Doctor Cheng Shi and Miss Heiyan Lingzi had alibi, so they were excluded from the suspects."

Officer Megome said, "In addition, Mr. Hirata, the secretary of the village mayor who has no alibi, Mr. Shimizu, the candidate for the election of the village mayor, and Mr. Murazawa who is now training in the clinic.

"One of these three people must be the murderer." Officer Megome looked at Asai Narumi and said, "Doctor Narumi, is Mr. Murazawa still awake?"

"Yes." Asai said, "Although she was taken care of by Miss Lingzi, she still didn't regain consciousness."

At this time, the forensic staff came over, "Police officer, the photos of the scene where Heiyan was killed have been washed out."

"Very good, then line up on that table."

"Ok."

After the photos were arranged, Xie Chen walked over and took a general look, and then smiled softly as if he had found something.

"Excuse me..."

Hirata Kazuaki suddenly walked to Police Officer Mumu and touched his head and said, "Can I go out and buy juice? My mouth is so thirsty."

"Yes." Officer Mumu nodded and agreed.

So, Hirata Kazuaki went directly to the vending machine next to the town office.

"Uncle." Xie Chen walked over and asked: "Your sleeves are stained with white powder."

Hirata Kazuaki's face suddenly turned pale, his wallet fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the change spilled out.

"So many foreign coins." Xie Chen said with a smile.

Hirata immediately squatted down and quickly collected the scattered change, "Because my uncle likes foreign countries." After putting the change into his wallet, he didn't even care about the juice, and hurried back to the town office as if to escape.

At this time, the elderly policeman ran over out of breath.

"What's wrong, Mr. Police."..
