Chapter 435 The third movement of Moonlight Sonata (plus tostout)
“Another person fell off the cliff before?” Mumu Shisan’s brows pressed deep lines, “That’s troublesome, who is he? It's hard to say how he died..."
"Not only did he fall off the cliff, his whole body was on fire at the time," Kogoro Mouri, a witness, tried to recall, "There were other islands behind him. Citizens witnessed this scene, you can ask them for details.”
“It’s on fire. It’s hard to determine the situation.”
“The situation on this island doesn’t even have street lights. There are only a few, but it’s impossible to find the surveillance video..."
"Hey, it's such a headache..."
The voices of the two people discussing became smaller and smaller in Conan's ears as the distance increased.
He turned his head reluctantly, watching the brightly lit community center go away, and sighed sadly.
"Sorry to trouble you, Dr. Narumi." Mao Lilan said gratefully, holding Conan and following Asai Narumi and several police officers, "I shouldn't have involved you in the first place."
"No, I am already involved." Asai Narimi smiled at them and walked into his clinic calmly with several police officers.
As soon as he entered the small clinic, he relaxed a little and led the two people into the infirmary on the first floor.
"The facilities here are very ordinary, and I can't find a place for you to rest. I can only force you to sleep in the ward here for a night." Turning on the light in the room, Asai Narumi gestured. There are two simple beds in the room. "You can rest here simply. You can use the pool in the infirmary as you like. I will clean and disinfect it again later. Don't worry."
Conan looked at this room with only a few It is a ward with simple life-sustaining facilities. It is not difficult to tell that this is a small clinic that can only provide people with water, debridement and suturing. On the other side there is a cubicle with the sign of debridement room and Asai Narumi's desk. .
"You should go and rest, Dr. Narumi. Thank you for your hard work tonight." Mao Lilan looked at Asai Narumi's tired face and persuaded him, "The rest of the matter will be left to the police gentlemen. Okay, don't worry."
"...Well, thank you." Asai Chengmi rolled his eyes.
If the police had played their due role earlier, everything wouldn't have come to this point, right?
No, this is just his beautiful fantasy. The father who was coerced into participating in that kind of thing would not end well no matter what his choice was, right?
Those sinful flowers, those demonic powders...
With these heavy thoughts spinning in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face. After saying good night to the two of them, he walked up On the second floor.
"The police are already here. They are looking for Kuroiwa Tatsuji." Pushing open his bedroom door, Asai Narumi saw a familiar figure to his surprise. He closed the door behind his back and lowered his volume. "Are you going to continue to use that method? That will make the police suspicious."
"It's up to you." Turning his head, Karasawa looked at Narumi Asai who walked in the door, "The most important part you need to reveal has been handed over to the police through the hands of Detective Mori, and they have also successfully captured Hirata. Kazaki plays such an important role... If you just stop here, things will get a good result."
Understanding the implication, Asai was stunned.
According to their arrangement, Ken Nishimoto jumped off the cliff in front of everyone in a mentally disturbed state. Coupled with his poor mental state in the past two years, it is easy to be regarded as being raped by Kawashima. Hideo's death stimulus, his complete madness, his self-immolation and then his jumping off a cliff, would never involve him.
The death of Hideo Kawashima was a little more troublesome because the traces of artificial arrangements at the scene were too obvious, but joker had told him before that he used the "cognitive world" to kill the "human shadow" and caused the death. It is impossible to trace the origin with current methods, and it is likely to be judged as sudden organ failure. Whether it will be treated as a murder case is also uncertain...
As long as he looks back at this time... …
Asai Narumi fell silent.
His eyes couldn't help but drift to the desk in the bedroom.
The sheet of music that Ken Nishimoto secretly took out and brought home was lying there at the moment, with the moonlight covering it softly, reflecting a soft glow on the yellowed paper.
My father also said in his suicide note that he hoped that he could live well, grow up healthily, and never return to this island again. It was best to forget everything related to him, and not to be the next Aso. A heavy sin...
So, if he turns back at this time...!
Asai Narumi opened and closed his mouth, and that very tempting line seemed to have reached his lips...
Closing his eyes, he slowly shook his head.
"There is nothing so cunning in the world." After taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said calmly, "I made a choice for this matter, but I cunningly wanted to get rid of the price behind it. ...If it is despicable to this extent, where is my position for revenge?”
The method may be vicious or cruel, but his starting point is always to pay with blood - this is what he has insisted on for the past two years. The foundation he laid down was the starting point for what he is today.
To reject it and attribute all despicableness to the enemy's own sins is to find excuses for one's own choices.
"Even if they are hopeless and heinous drug dealers?" Tangze said softly in an inductive voice, "You know, we don't think your choice is wrong."
"You guys I think so because they are evil people, but that’s not the reason why I killed them—" Asai shook his head slowly.
Perhaps his father's tragedy, traced back to the original logic, is indeed due to the dirty deals they engaged in, but the basis for him to start all this investigation is that he is unwilling to accept the explanation that his father died of suicide. , and also determined to find out the truth of the year and avenge him.
"They are not good people, they are scum that should be eradicated." Asai Narumi concluded, "But I am not an innocent person either."
"Even if we use our methods, Will no one be able to find you?" Miyano Akemi tilted her head and asked.
This time, Asai Narumi's expression became much firmer, and he gave an objectionable answer almost immediately: "Don't they know that nothing happened? I made my own choice, even if you don't come to help I, I will make the same choice. From the day I make this choice, I am no longer qualified to take chances."
"Then, Kuroiwa Tatsuji..."
"...Well, I have to continue to trouble you."
"Very good." Seeing Asai Narumi regaining his calm face again after being shaken and struggling, Karasawa He exchanged appreciative glances with his other two teammates.
The starting point of this incident was a blood revenge, and the target of revenge was a drug dealer. Tang Zena supported it with both hands and feet.
To be honest, if the impression space here is not actually connected to Asai Narumi's palace, if you really use violent methods to crack it, it is destined to conflict with the shadow Asai Narumi, which may cause unnecessary casualties. After seeing Yueying Island clearly The moment he truly impressed the space, he had already rolled up his sleeves and started setting fire to it.
Innocent, when you talk to me about innocence, why don’t you look at those innocent drug victims? Because they are right in front of you, and the victims don’t know where they are scattered in the world?
On this small island, a seemingly small-scale industry will cause many tragedies and disasters, and kill many families and futures. People who have not experienced it will not understand.
Tangze's hatred for them has never faded from the beginning to the end. Even because he sees more and more of them, the anger is still being added with new fuel, and it is burning more and more.
As far as Karasawa is concerned, each of these drug dealers has a lot of blood debt, and an efficient topkiller like Gin will not be able to kill them for ten or eight years.
But that being said, if Narumi Asai can feel at ease and rationalize his revenge because of this, then Karasawa will have to seriously consider whether to recruit people.
The Phantom Thieves are really not very clean people. Even Noah, who looks like a harmless little boy, is actually carrying a human life on his body.
But what he recruits is a mask user who is willing to fight for his own beliefs and has a strong will without sparing any means. He is not a 25-year-old who is crazy about making excuses for himself.
"I'm actually very happy to hear you say that, Dr. Cheng Shi." Tang Ze smiled at him and extended his hand again, "People who can understand their own hearts are definitely better than you think. "
"I'm just a villain with eyes full of hatred. There's no need to tell me how great I am," Asai said mockingly, holding his hand again and starting to go. The conversion of Kuroiwa Tatsuji Hall.
He was almost getting used to seeing this bizarre and twisted transformation scene.
"Here we are, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's vault." The moment his feet were firmly planted on the ground, Karasawa took out the sunglasses he had prepared in advance, and regardless of the blindfold on his face, Shi Shiran put it on his face. Wear it on.
Miyano Akemi and Hoshikawa Teru, who had also experienced this once, also coincidentally took out the sunglasses Karasawa had found for them and immediately covered their eyes.
So, being struck by this golden light that was so bright that it could illuminate the night sky and make all darkness invisible, Narumi Asai's eyes instantly went blank. It took him a while to get out of the snow blindness-like state. come out.
"...What is this?!" He raised his hand in confusion and changed his gaze. He asked in confusion and surprise.
"I told you, Kuroiwa Tatsuji's 'treasury'. A 'treasury' in the literal sense. How about it, the aesthetics are very advanced." Looking sympathetically at Narumi Asai, who was definitely blind, Karasawa He took out another pair of sunglasses and handed them to Asai Narumi, "Do you want them?"
"What's going on? He..." He hurriedly took the sunglasses from Karasawa's hand and covered his extremely wearing clothes. With the penetrating golden light, Asai Narumi breathed a sigh of relief, "...Isn't the richest man Hideo Kawashima? Why is this guy's spiritual world the treasury?"
"It's just because there is none, so I think about it. ." Xingchuan Hui silently looked at the dazzling golden lights, golden trees, and golden roads in front of him, and said a concise and shocking truth. "Indeed, after all, it is fantasy time." Tang Ze nodded in agreement.
“So Kawashima Hideo’s ‘palace’ is the ‘Tenshou Tower’ because he is rich but wants to seize power?” Asai Narumi guessed speechlessly.
"Yes, your little Moon Shadow Island is really a place of outstanding people." The Great Onmyoji Tang Ze commented with high emotional intelligence.
————
“So, you mean, hundreds of people on the island are involved in this chain?” Mouri Kogoro frowned tightly.
"Absolutely." Surrounded by the police, Kuroiwa Tatsuji glanced at Hirata Kazuaki with a sinister look, who lowered his head and did not dare to speak, and then quickly lowered his head to cover up. Keep the evil light in your eyes.
This bastard Hirata should be damned.
Working under him, he tipped off that loser Kawashima, secretly moved his goods, and quietly transferred them to Kawashima...
No wonder Kawashima has been so high-spirited recently, spending so much money to buy votes, and watching It's time to really squeeze him down.
How hateful, this traitor!
"Are the Kameyama village chiefs who died two years ago, including Keiji Aso who died in a fire twelve years ago, also related to this matter?" Mouri Kogoro guessed, touching his chin.
Moonlight Sonata appeared in both the deaths of Kameyama Village Chief and Keiji Aso.
If today's two deceased persons were both drug-related persons, it is difficult to say that the first two had nothing to do with them.
"...It has a little to do with it." His voice lowered a little, and Kuroiwa Tatsuji hummed indifferently.
Forget about that guy from Kameyama. He had a bad heart to begin with. If he was unlucky and died suddenly, he would just die. There was no need to hide it for him.
But what Keiji Aso said...
To be honest, the way he looked before his death scared them all.
Although they are not as cowardly as Ken Nishimoto, who dare not leave home for fear, only they know how much fear they have in their hearts.
Moreover, admitting that he participated in the murder will only further intensify the police's suspicion of him, right?
"Speak clearly, what does they have to do with you?" The Megu Police Department stopped writing notes and stared at him with a frown.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji clicked his tongue: "Let's wait until my lawyer comes tomorrow."
He is not a fool. Before discussing with the lawyer about appropriate interrogation techniques, he will not Will easily accept the police's inducement and tell some possible problems.
"No oil or salt..." Megure Police Department rolled his eyes, but still motioned to the subordinates on both sides, asking them to take away Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
"You are really not afraid of death. This murderer must be targeting them. He is probably next. He is in a very relaxed mood." Mouri Kogoro shook his head unhappily.
They were so anxious to find Kuroiwa Tatsuji that in addition to controlling the most likely leader, they also wanted to protect and observe him.
After all, looking at the murderer's posture, the most dangerous ones should be the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji and another strong competitor for the village chief, Masato Shimizu.
"After all, he is in the hands of the police now, so he is confident." The Mumu Police Department, who was used to seeing various types of criminals, had nothing to say about this ordinary and slippery guy, and just snorted twice.
No matter how heinous a murderer is, the possibility of breaking into a heavy siege and killing someone is as low as possible. Kuroiwa Tatsuji is afraid that he knows that falling into the hands of the police may not be a good idea for him now. It's a bad thing.
Just when the two of them got together to discuss and prepare where to start the inquiry——
The gentle and rhythmic sound of the piano sounded.
After a short development, the surging and fierce legato, with an uncontrollable enthusiasm, incited the audience's emotions.
"Moonlight Sonata"!" Mouri Kogoro's eyes widened.
He reacted quickly and immediately turned his head to look at Kuroiwa Tatsuji who was surrounded by police officers.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was still full of arrogance just now, has stopped in place.
"Chief of Kuroiwa Village, Chief of Kuroiwa Village!" Megure Police Department's reaction was not slow. He chased after him in two steps, looked at Kuroiwa Tatsuji who was standing still, and shouted loudly.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji's chubby body swayed.
Before the police officers around him reached out to help him, his fat body had lost its strength and he fell forward.
"Oops, quick, first aid, come here for first aid!" Megure Police Department ordered other police officers to help him turn over the fat Tatsuji Kuroiwa to check his vital signs.
Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who had his eyes open blankly, showed no intention of resisting, and looked at the ceiling with a godless gaze.
His lips moved, and before the people next to him understood what he was saying, dark liquid quickly gushes out and drips from the corners of his eyes and mouth.
"Police Department!" The police officer checking Kuroiwa Tatsuji's physical condition called out to Megure.
Under the gazes of several people, he gingerly took out the hard object he touched from Kuroiwa Tatsuji's pocket.
It was Kuroiwa Tatsuji's mobile phone. The heavy black body reflected a sharp metallic luster under the light of the room.
In the speaker of the mobile phone, the third movement of "Moonlight Sonata" was playing, and the boiling emotions were reaching their peak. Every sound was like a heavy blow to their hearts.
"The murderer succeeded." Mouri Kogoro said solemnly.
————
“Dr. Chengshi, Dr. Chengshi!”
Mao Lilan and Conan, who had just begun to feel sleepy, were suddenly awakened by the movement outside the house.
The people who slapped the door of the clinic were undoubtedly in an anxious mood. The frequency and intensity of banging on the door seemed restless.
“——Here comes.” Naomi Asai, wearing loose home clothes, tied up her ponytail and walked slowly downstairs, “Who——”
"It's me, it's me, Dr. Narumi..." Outside the opened clinic door, the face of the out-of-breath old policeman was exposed to their sight, "The police from Tokyo are calling you. Go."
"At this point?" The sleepy Asai Narumi looked at the clock and saw the hour hand pointing to 4, with a look of helplessness on his face, "I don't mean to ask Mr. Kawashima again tomorrow. What happened to the case?”
"The police in Tokyo said that the forensic doctor will not arrive until tomorrow morning. I would like to trouble you to check the body."
"Check the body?" Asai Narumi made a surprised expression, "Whose, Mr. Nishimoto?" , But, didn’t they say..."
The old policeman sighed heavily, waved his hands, finally took a breath, and interrupted Asai Narumi's question: "It's not Takeshi Nishimoto, Dr. Narumi of Kuroiwa Village. "I'm dead."
