Chapter 31

Holiday, to the Izu Islands on the sea, a ship sailing in the vast white fog.

Gao Cheng silently goes to the bow of the boat and looks at the island gradually showing its outline in the fog.

In the days when he became a child, he received a letter of entrustment from Aso guier, and the entrustment fee of 300000 yen was remitted into the account. Just before he arrived here by boat, the system also released this case, which happened to be the case of Yueying island.

For this incident, his only remaining impression was that there was a fake girl named Asai, and the others were completely vague.

Gao Cheng doesn't understand why he remembers a fake girl. He has a normal sexual orientation. It's just a coincidence to remember Asai Chengshi. Maybe he is a key person.

But

Gao Chengban opens his eyes and looks at Maori Kogoro, who chatters and complains to the other side.

"Really, you can go to see the flowers clearly," said Yu Guang, glancing at Gao Cheng with a cigarette in his mouth. "Why do I, a famous detective, have to go to that ghost island with such a guy?"

"I also want to ask," Gao Cheng said discontentedly, "Why are they all detectives? Some people have a commission fee of 500000 yuan, but as a famous detective, I only have 300000 yuan?"

Maori Kogoro angrily said: "smelly boy, what kind of detective are you? If it wasn't for you, I might have 800000? "

"All right, all right." Maolilan looked at the two people who didn't deal with them, and said with a bitter smile, "just take it as a trip. There's nothing to quarrel about."

"Hum!"

Gao Cheng and his wife don't go too far at the same time.

Also, a detective agency has been set up in Mihua town. It's not far away. There is already competition in business. Recently, the conflict has become more obvious.

A few days before he came to Izu, Maori Kobayashi solved a case in Saitama County by relying on Conan. The name of "sleeping detective" became more and more famous. For no reason, a good reporter put Gao Cheng, who was also very active recently, together with Maori Kobayashi.

In recent days, the two voices of "sleeping detective" and "modern left character" have been fighting each other in newspapers.

"Modern left character" is the name given to him by the media without authorization. The reason is that he has carried a wooden knife to investigate cases several times, just like the hero left character in a detective novel many years ago.

Although Gao Cheng didn't like the title, he didn't want to be compared by Maori Kogoro. Finally, he was stiff when he met.

Maori Kogoro has Conan, he also has the system

Gao Cheng glances at Conan who is pretending to be a child on one side. As long as he works hard, he may not be able to solve the case before Conan.

……

The office in Yueying Island Village, after Gao Cheng got off the ship, he and Conan first went here to find the information of his client, guier ASO.

The entrustment letters sent to him and Maori Kogoro are all pasted in paper-cut words. It says: on the next full moon night, on the moon shadow Island, the shadow will begin to disappear. Please come to investigate

Except for the postmark of moon shadow Island, there is no extra information on it.

"Ma, Aso guier?"

The director of the office looked at Gao Cheng in horror: "no, it's impossible! Because he died more than ten years ago

"What?"

"He was born on the island. He used to be a very famous pianist," the director said in horror. "But on the night of a full moon Twelve years ago, when he returned to his hometown after many years, he held a piano recital in the citizen Hall of the village. After the recital, I don't know why he suddenly closed up with his family and set off a big fire..."

In maolilan's trembling eyes, the director said in a deep voice: "it is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. He seemed to be entangled in the flames. He continued to play the piano, which is Beethoven's Piano Sonata, moonlight!"

"But what's the matter with this letter of entrustment?" Gao Cheng frowned and took out the letter of entrustment. "It's really covered with the postmark of moon shadow Island, and the entrustment fee has been paid off. It shouldn't be someone's prank, is it?"

"I think it must be someone in your village who pretended?" "Who on earth would do that?" he said

"Well," the director subconsciously stepped back, "you can ask the village head. He is over there now."

"OK, let's go now!" Maori little Goro Yu Guang takes a look at Gao Cheng, and asks him the location of the citizen's Pavilion energetically before leaving.

Gao Cheng didn't immediately follow up, but asked the staff, "is there a shoai on the island?"

"Oh, you mean doctor Chengshi. She should be in the clinic over there now."

"Thank you."

When Gao Cheng came to Yueying Island clinic, Conan and his party also followed him, as if it was the right way to the citizen's hall.

At this time, Asai was just at the door of the clinic to send a child away. Originally, Gao Cheng was just looking for her (him). When Maori Kogoro saw Asai, he suddenly couldn't move his feet.

"Doctor Cheng Shi?" Gao Cheng looks at the doctor who looks like a beautiful girl and hesitates to ask.

"Ah, it's me," Asai said, with long hair and a long white coat. "What can I do for you

Before Gao Cheng's reply, Maori Kogoro had crowded ahead and said, "well, we actually received a letter of entrustment from Aso guier..."

"Aso guier?" Asai showed surprise on his face.

"Yes," Gao Cheng didn't mean to argue with Maori Kogoro, but he explained, "but the office said that Ma Shenggui had died more than 20 years ago, so he thought that someone would impersonate him to come to us."

"I'm not sure, because I came to this island a few years ago," Asai said, shaking his head and looking at Gao Cheng curiously. "Are you from other places?"

Maolilan nodded and said, "well, we are from Tokyo..."

"Really? I'm from Tokyo, too! " Asai said happily, "this island is different from Tokyo, isn't it great? Not only the air is fresh, but also it is very quiet.... "

"Dudu --!" As soon as he said that, a propaganda car passed by, and the loud horn kept ringing: Qingshui, Qingshui Zhengren... Please vote for Qingshui Zhengren!

Asai was embarrassed for a moment and said with a smile: "but this is an exception, because the village election will be held soon..."

"Village head election?"

Maori xiaowulang thought of his business and said: "we just want to ask the village head."

"Are you going to the citizens' hall?" Asai reminded, "there will be a ceremony for the second anniversary of the death of Mr. Guishan, the former village head, tonight. If you go there and ask, you may get something."

Gao Cheng was a little disappointed. He thought he could get some useful information from the only person he remembered.

After Maori xiaowulang found the citizen hall, many villagers were protesting against the current village head. Maori xiaowulang explained his intention to the village secretary and waited outside the meeting room.

However, Gao Cheng did not stay with this guy, but took advantage of the gap to look around.

Conan didn't realize the meaning of the letter, but he was different.

Whether it's the Yueying Island killing incident released by the system or his own vague memory, they all know that the island will not be calm next, and the person who sent the letter of entrustment has obviously noticed

Just why hide? Is there any reason why you can't reveal your identity?

Gao Cheng has no expectation of finding out the real identity of the client. Now the most important thing is to investigate the possible events on this island.

The cause of the incident seems likely to be related to the death of ASO Guiji more than ten years ago

Gao Cheng gently pushed open a door at the end of the corridor and found that there was only a black piano in a big room.

When it comes to piano, he recently got two piano knowledge cards, none of which has been tested yet.

Gao Cheng, itching to lift the key cover, instinctively puts his finger on the key with the help of his experience in his mind. He should never have learned it before, but it's like God's help to play it smoothly.

"Eh?" Conan followed him, looking at Gao Cheng in surprise, "I didn't expect you could play the piano."

Gao Cheng returned to his senses and said with a snort: "you didn't expect so much, but I will become the first detective in the world."

Conan was speechless: is it too early to say that?

"You guys!" When the village secretary heard the sound of the piano, he rushed into the room and yelled anxiously, "don't touch that piano!"

"Ah?" Gao Cheng was startled, "what's the matter?"

"That's the cursed piano that Mr. ASO used in the concert on the night of his suicide!" Hirata looks scared.

"Curse, curse?" Maolilan just followed him into the piano room and shivered when he heard the words.

"Yes," Hirata said fearfully, pushing Gao Cheng and Conan out of the room, "not only Mr. Aso, but also the former village head."

"Former village head?" Gao Cheng looked at the cold sweated Hirata and asked curiously, "is it the former village head guishanyong who did the ritual today?"

Hirata closed the door, breathed a sigh, and explained in a low voice: "it happened two years ago. It was also a full moon night. At that time, I happened to pass by the citizen hall, where there should be no one, but someone was playing the piano. When I asked who was inside, the voice stopped immediately

"When I get inside," Hirata said with a horror expression, "Mr. Guishan fell on the piano. The cause of his death was a heart attack. The music he played before his death was the Moonlight Sonata that Mr. ASO played in the fire at the beginning!"

Maolilan teeth tremble, completely immersed in the atmosphere of terror: "should, should not be Mr. Aso's ghost?"

Gao Cheng's mouth is curled.

In the detective world like Conan, nothing is more reliable than ghosts... "In a word," Hirata returned to calm and warned, "you'd better go out and wait before the end of the ritual, and don't touch this cursed piano again!" Outside the citizen hall, the full moon has appeared in the night sky, looking very calm, but I don't know why there is a strange atmosphere“ Really, "Maori Kogoro angrily snuffed out the cigarette end and complained to Gao Cheng," it's all because you touch other people's things, even I've been kicked out! "“ Who knew that guy would react so much? " Gao Cheng leans at the door when he suddenly sees Asai Chengshi in black and a middle-aged man coming to the citizen hall“ Why“ Are you still there? " Asai said unexpectedly, "have you seen the village head?"“ "Not yet," Maori Kogoro said to the village where he was put aside. "It seems that I don't know when it will be..." "Miss Cheng Shi," Maori LAN ignored Kogoro's complaint and asked, "are you here to participate in the ritual?"“ Yes, "Cheng Shi said with a smile," because when I came to this island, the first person I examined was Mr. Guishan, so I wanted to burn incense and worship. " Then Chengshi introduced the middle-aged humanitarians around him: "by the way, this is Mr. Qingshui."“ Hello, I'm Qingshui Zhengren. Give me more advice. " The middle-aged man greets and says that Guozi's face is quite upright and friendly when he smiles. Gao Cheng takes a look: the candidate of village head who has been called by the propaganda car before, looks good on the surface, but this kind of person is not the murderer, right? It seems that the dispute over the village head on Yueying island is very fierce. Now it's time for the election of the village head. Maybe someone will kill the village head. And it's no coincidence that the village head died two years ago“ I'll see you later. " Asahi and qingshuizhengren enter the ceremony hall together. Gao Cheng and his party have to sit down at the door and wait for the ceremony to end.
