Chapter 016 Okino Shi is a Suspect Again
"Huh, let me tell you that there is definitely something wrong with this secretary named Heming Hirata, and the same goes for that room. The cursed piano is pure nonsense." The uncle has never believed in curses. As a detective, he only believes in science.
Okino Shiya was very unhappy, but he could only find another time to come over and absorb the magic power.
On the other side, the current village chief, Mr. Kuroiwa, learned about Mouri Kogoro's coming here through the words of his secretary Hirata Kazaki, and he looked obviously panicked.
Others also got the news more or less, and everyone's expressions felt a little wrong for a while.
In this way, the ritual continued until five o'clock in the afternoon.
"What? It's not over yet. No, no, no, I have to leave." The uncle's face was obviously unhappy.
There is nothing we can do about it. Uncle Maori arrived here at around nine o'clock in the morning. He didn't do anything during this period. He waited until after five o'clock in the evening. Even a good-tempered person would have to get angry.
"Dad." Xiaolan was also a little annoyed and didn't know whether she should go back or not. However, Conan discovered that Okino disappeared suddenly at some point.
"Sister Xiaolan, where is brother Okino?"
"Oh, you're talking about Okino-san. He just said that he left something behind at Komeito Hall, so he went back to get it."
"Gongmingguan?"
"Yes, it's been more than half an hour. Why hasn't Okino-san come back yet? Are you in some trouble?" Xiaolan looked at the watch on her wrist and was a little worried, and looked at her father.
.
"Dad, let's go to Gongmingguan and have a look. I don't know why I always have a bad feeling."
"What, that kid won't get lost, don't care what he does."
"Dad!" Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied.
The uncle's expression was a little unnatural. As a daughter-in-law, he couldn't stand Xiaolan's pleading expression, so he reluctantly agreed after being embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, why don't I go? Really."
"That's great, Dad. That's great, right Conan."
"Uh, um." Conan felt ashamed, and he was definitely making a fuss out of a molehill. How could such a big person get lost?
Not long after, the three of them came to the door of the Gongming Pavilion again, but just as they were about to enter the pavilion, there was a sudden sound of piano, and this piece was Beethoven's Piano Sonata "Moonlight".
"Oops!" Conan's face changed drastically, and he pushed open the door and rushed in without thinking.
"Hey, brat." The uncle responded quickly and followed closely.
When Xiaolan saw this, she hurriedly followed, and at the same time her uneasiness became even stronger.
Bang!
Following the sound, Conan was the first to find the source of the sound. He had been to the piano room before, and hurriedly opened the door without thinking too much.
A wet corpse was lying on the piano, making no sound, and the only thing accompanying him was a moonlight sonata, as if to bid farewell to his death.
"You're finally here, detective."
"What!" The sudden voice from behind startled him. He turned around quickly and found that this person was actually Okino Shimizu who had returned to the Komeito Hall to look for something. At this time, he was standing next to the gate with a calm expression.
"Okino! Why are you here!" Conan was startled at first, then his expression immediately became serious, and at the same time a bad suspicion suddenly came to his mind.
"I came here to look for something, but now I have found it."
"Okino, you!" Conan's expression was a little complicated for a moment. Although it was hard to believe, for a moment he did suspect that Okino was the murderer, which made him not know what to do.
As soon as Okino Shi saw Conan's expression, he knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but smile, shake his head, and comfort him.
"You kid, don't think about those messy things. I didn't do this."
"You guy." Conan was undoubtedly relieved. At this time, the uncle and Xiaolan also pushed in the door and saw the dead body. Xiaolan also screamed as always.
"ah!!"
"This is it!" The uncle's face changed slightly and he hurriedly checked the victim's condition.
"Dad, how's it going?"
"No, this person is already dead." The uncle shook his head, "By the way, Xiaolan, hurry up and call the police. This is obviously a murder case."
"Yes, Dad."
At the same time, Conan also curiously approached the corpse to collect clues. On the other side, Okino Shi remained leaning against the wall without speaking.
Soon, the police arrived at the scene, and the person who came was none other than Officer Megure from the First Search Section.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a long time, Officer Memu. I didn't expect you to be the one who came over." When he saw Officer Megu, the uncle felt like he was meeting his biological father and started a friendly conversation.
"Haha, why is it you again? Could it be you who brought disaster to this island?" Officer Megure threw the blame at Kogoro Mori without hesitation.
"Haha, how is that possible? The case is obviously calling me, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, and what I'm curious about is, does this still belong to the area that Detective Megure is responsible for?"
"Of course, this place still falls under the jurisdiction of Tokyo." Seeing that his uncle was so shameless and even called himself a detective, Officer Megure didn't bother to pay attention to such a plague, and skillfully ordered his men to collect evidence.
"Okay, since you were the first to discover the deceased, please give me a good explanation of the situation at that time."
"Yes, Officer Megure!"
After learning all the circumstances, Officer Megure looked at Okino with a strange expression and said helplessly.
"Brother Okino, why are you here too?"
"I was invited by Xiaolan to come here to play, and by the way, I can solve the commission that Mr. Maori received." Okino suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth. He always felt that the other person looked at him in a strange way, as if he was looking at Uncle Maori.
The eyes are the same.
'Hey, I'm not the God of Death. The God of Death is obviously those two people over there...'
"That's it, brother Maori."
"That's true. I received a strange request yesterday. Officer Memu, you see, this is it." As he said that, the uncle took out the request letter from his arms and handed it over.
"Well, that's it... Then where is this person named Keiji Aso?" After initial observation, except for the strange content, Officer Megure didn't pay much attention.
"I couldn't find it because this person... passed away ten years ago."
"What!" Officer Megure was shocked and finally realized that this matter was not that simple.
"Brother Maori, tell me the whole story quickly!"
"I understand, Officer Megure!"
On the other side, Conan, who was wandering around, was finally picked up by sister Xiaolan.
"Conan, no, you can't run around, it will affect dad's handling of the case~"
"Hi~"
'Forget it, I already know the general story of what happened, and that guy is the only one left.'
After leaving Sister Xiaolan's arms, Conan inadvertently walked next to Okino Shi.
"Okino, how much do you know about this matter? You were always in this room at the time. In other words..." Conan said in a low tone, slowly, "It's very possible that you have seen the murderer, haven't you?
Wrong,"
Hearing this, Okino's expression changed slightly. He looked at Conan with a serious face and said meaningfully: "Detective, some things are already doomed. A person's will is not so easy to change, let alone this hatred.
It’s been going on for ten years.”
"Hate? Ten years!" Conan frowned tightly, "Sure enough, you guys must know something, tell me quickly!"
"No, I have promised him that he will handle this matter by himself." Okino shook his head and rejected Conan's request. Who knew that this guy's reaction was surprisingly big.
"What did you say! Do you know what you are doing!"
"Conan, what's wrong with you?" Xiaolan looked at Conan worriedly, and at the same time, she also attracted everyone's attention.
"Ah, no, it's nothing. I'm just discussing things with Brother Okino, haha~~" Conan scratched his head innocently and continued, "Sister Xiaolan, you don't have to worry about us. By the way, Okino and I are
Brother, I still have something to say, so I’ll go out first.”
"Let's go, Brother Okino."
