Stay away from Conan

Chapter 647 The prisoner with no way to escape

"What? Brother Maori? You said the murderer killed these three people for the sake of justice on the island?"

Hearing what Kogoro said, Officer Megure looked puzzled and thought for a moment, but obviously, no matter how much thinking he did, he couldn't understand the meaning in a short time, so——

"Ah! Brother Maori, stop being so pretentious! Tell me quickly, who is the murderer of Mr. Kuroiwa!"

Urgently, Officer Megu immediately asked with an anxious expression. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at the people beside him in this room.

In response to this, Kuroiwa Reiko seemed very excited, and she couldn't help but ask loudly:

"Who is it! Who killed my father!"

——"The murderer of Mr. Kuroiwa..."

At this time, as Kogoro's serious voice sounded from the speaker again, everyone present looked very nervous——

"Mr. Masato Shimizu! The murderer is you!"

Kogoro's voice shouted decisively.

As a result, everyone present, except Masato Shimizu, couldn't help but look horrified, and unexpectedly looked at Masato Shimizu, who was standing with everyone.

In this regard, when Masato Shimizu heard that the murderer was accused, when faced with the situation in front of him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was a little uneasy, and he inadvertently took a few steps back, with a look of panic on his face——

"It's you!"

After hearing this answer, Kuroiwa Reiko, who became emotionally excited again, immediately opened her eyes and shouted towards Masato Shimizu hysterically:

"You were the one who killed my father! Why! Why did you do this!"

Shouting, Kuroiwa Reiko was even more uncontrollably excited than when he saw Kuroiwa Tatsuji's body before, and asked Shimizu Masato.

At this moment, if the police officers present and Murasawa hadn't stopped him, Kuroiwa Reiko would have almost rushed forward to fight Masato Shimizu with all his strength——

"Nonsense... nonsense!"

His face turned red, and he seemed to be very angry. Masato Shimizu raised his head and shouted towards the loudspeaker from which Kogoro's voice came out:

"Mr. Maori! Don't talk nonsense! What reasons do I have for why I have to kill Mr. Kuroiwa? Besides, you policemen all remember it, right? Before Mr. Kuroiwa completed the interrogation and until his death, this period of time Here, I have been cooperating with you to complete the interrogation in the interrogation room! "

In this way, Masato Shimizu looked at Officer Megure and pointed out in a loud voice.

Regarding this statement, Officer Megure was non-committal, and nodded after thinking very seriously. He looked towards the speaker position with some approval and asked Kogoro doubtfully:

"Yes, brother Maori. If you say Mr. Shimizu is the murderer, how should you explain the time of death? In any case, Mr. Kuroiwa's time of death is very certain, and at that time, Mr. Shimizu was really Follow us for an interrogation in the interrogation room downstairs! How should he kill Mr. Kuroiwa?

"And how do you explain the cause of Mr. Kuroiwa's death? Judging from the current investigation of the scene, Mr. Kuroiwa seems to have died suddenly rather than being killed. But you just agreed with it yourself. How did you get there? Now, is Mr. Kuroiwa the one who was killed?”

Although from Officer Megure's own position, Officer Megure wanted to believe Kogoro's judgment, but judging from the evidence at the scene, there was no relevant evidence to support that Mr. Kuroiwa was murdered. In this regard, Officer Megure couldn't help but ask stand up--

"really……"

In this regard, Kogoro's voice also started to explain with some agreement:

"Before I discovered the cause of Mr. Kuroiwa's death, I did think that Mr. Kuroiwa might have died suddenly due to his own disease, but now... after I noticed that there is a certain specialty on this island, I have new ideas about the cause of Mr. Kuroiwa’s death..."

…

His eyes changed, and now on the other side, there were Gao Yuan and Reito Jinguji——

After Gao Yuan got in touch with Dr. A Li and contacted Professor Asai Akiya through Dr. A Li, Gao Yuan got some news and left the hotel in a hurry.

At this moment, outside the only elementary school on Yueying Island, Jinguji Reito, who had been waiting for a while with a lunch box packed from a hotel, finally waited until Gao Yuan came out.

In this regard, Jinguji Reito, who looked slightly depressed when he saw Gao Yuan walking out of the school with a solemn expression, couldn't help but sigh:

"Detective Akechi, how's it going? On a whim, I went to visit Keiji Aso's music teacher when he was in school, and now I've gone to this school on the island. Did you find something?"

Faced with such an inquiry, Gao Yuan didn't react at first. He just froze and thought solemnly. When Jinguji Reito asked again and was about to stuff all the lunch boxes in Gao Yuan's hands, Gao Yuan thought deeply this time. He opened his mouth and said:

"No. I haven't found any relevant clues to prove my conjecture..."

After saying this, he continued to ponder for a moment, Gao Yuan reached out and touched his temples, and then said:

"I have to go to the community center again. Maybe there's something I want in the warehouse there."

With that said, Gao Yuan hurried towards the community activity center without stopping too much.

Seeing this, still holding the pile of lunch boxes that Gao Yuan had paid for in his hand, Jinguji Reito shook his head helplessly, but seeing Gao Yuan's serious look, he didn't say anything more and followed. With high steps, we went to the community activity center together.

However, at this time, basically only the police were present in the community activity center.

Moreover, many of the police officers on duty here were disguised as members of the Narcotics Control Department. Therefore, when Reito Jinguji and Takato arrived here, since there was no one else at the scene, Gao Yuan and Jinguji Si Lingren naturally entered the community activity center without any hindrance.

Moreover, taking this opportunity, Jinguji Reito simply handed over all the lunch boxes in his hands to the members of the Narcotics Control Department who were disguised as police officers, and distributed them to them as a condolence meal——

"Can you open the warehouse door?"

Looking at Jinguji Reito's actions, Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention. Anyway, it was just an excuse to go out to buy food for everyone. In comparison, whether he could find evidence to support his conjecture was the most important thing at the moment.

Regarding this, Jinguji Reito thought about it for a moment. Since he did not have the key to the warehouse, he directly assigned a drug control officer from the Narcotics Control Department of the police to use two pills directly. The iron wire unlocked the door——

"Thank you."

Although according to the original plot, Gao Yuan knew that the key to the community activity center warehouse was in the police station on the island, but it was much more convenient to open it so directly than getting it in the past.

So, after a simple thank you, Gao Yuan went straight into the warehouse and began to rummage through the daily information about the island stacked in the warehouse——

"So, Detective Akechi, what are you looking for? This warehouse is full, do you want our help?"

Seeing Gao Yuan's search method of basically flipping through the information in the warehouse at a glance, Reito Jinguji felt a little strange. Could he really find any important clues with this search method?

Therefore, Reito Jinguji asked curiously.

Regarding this kind of inquiry, Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, looking at the several cabinets of information that had been piled up here on the island, and then he said it directly to Jinguji Reito——

"The music score...or something else that may have been left by Keiji Aso. I have a little suspicion that the truth behind the fire that year may not be as simple as what was said in the music score that was found before!"

Hearing this, Jinguji Reito felt a little strange and couldn't help but asked:

"Even if there may be a hidden secret behind the fire twelve years ago, but confirming this, what does it have to do with what we are investigating now? Now, all the people involved in the smuggling of illegal drugs are dead. For us, , finding the person who accepts this smuggling deal now is the top priority!”

"It's very important! It is related to the people who are now confirmed to be involved in the smuggling of illegal drugs on the island! As long as this can be solved, the truth behind everything may be solved!"

Gao Yuan said seriously, somewhat anxiously.

In this regard, although Gao Yuan's statement contained "possible conjectures", Jinguji Reito thought for a moment, then called several other drug control officers, and he also entered the warehouse to help Together with Gao Yuan, they look for what Gao Yuan said.

But even so, after everyone helped rummage through the information in the warehouse, they did not find anything that might have been left by Keiji Aso.

Faced with such a situation, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little confused——

It shouldn't be...

According to what Professor Akiya Asai said, it means that Keiji Aso had already begun to anticipate his final fate.

In this case, he shouldn't have left anything else...

Thinking this way, Gao Yuan touched his forehead feeling a little helpless. It felt very uncomfortable to rely on his understanding of the original work but only half-understanding the reality.

The musical score mentioned in the original work has been found by myself, but judging from the actual clues, Keiji Aso may have left something else behind. What could that thing be...

What Keiji Aso left behind...

Something that will not be noticed by others, but can convey a message...

Keiji Aso...

Famous pianist…

"Moonlight Sonata" played before death...

Suddenly, as if a sudden inspiration came to him, Gao Yuan rushed out of the warehouse and came to the piano room that was the scene of the crime and was now guarded by police personnel——

yes!

The things Keiji Aso left behind are always in front of everyone’s eyes——

piano!

This is the piano!

Isn’t this piano used by Keiji Aso, which almost no one has come close to for twelve years, the best carrier of the message that pianist Keiji Aso wants to convey?

So, in this case...

——"I already know, Officer Megure...the complete truth of all the events that happened on this island!"

At this moment, when Gao Yuan was thinking like this, Kogoro's voice came from the broadcast loudspeaker located in the community activity center.

Since the broadcast loudspeaker of the community activity center was connected to the broadcast room of the island office, Gao Yuan immediately judged that this was Kogoro...

No, Conan should be using the radio to reason!

"He also understands the truth?"

Slightly surprised, Gao Yuan thought with some doubts in his heart after thinking about who the owner behind the voice was.

Regarding this situation, Jinguji Reito was slightly relieved as he continued to listen to the conversation between Kogoro and Officer Megure and others on the radio——

"It seems that Detective Maori is making faster progress than us! I believe we will know the whole truth about this island soon!"

Arriving at Takato's side, Reito Jinguji comforted Takato who seemed to be unable to further advance his reasoning because he found more clues.

In this regard, Gao Yuan just nodded silently, and then continued to listen to the real-time reasoning played on the radio——

"I finally confirmed this - for the sake of justice on the island, who is the murderer of these three criminals who smuggled illegal drugs on the island!"

Then, after Kogoro's voice said these words on the radio, Gao Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment——

"Oops! Could it be possible..."

After suddenly realizing why Conan said these words, Gao Yuan was startled, and then took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Conan.

But--

"Damn it! Forgot!"

Seeing that there was no signal on his mobile phone, Gao Yuan recalled that when he discussed the arrangement with the police, he considered that people who might be involved in the smuggling of illegal drugs would not leak information to the outside world, so the police had already controlled the only base station on the island. ——

Now it seems that Conan has ordered the police to take action!

Thinking of this, Gao Yuan did not choose to stay here, turned around and left the community activity center and ran towards the island office——

"Conan, you deduced the murderer's modus operandi correctly, but you misunderstood the murderer's real reason for committing the crime! Although my reasoning is still a little behind...but I must catch up!"

…

"It's puffer fish poison!"

In the island office, Kogoro's voice followed the topic and began to explain in detail——

"When I discovered that there was a pufferfish-related industry on the island, I immediately thought that Mr. Kuroiwa might have died from pufferfish poison!"

"Fugu poison!"

Hearing this, Officer Memu was suddenly startled and said in disbelief.

"This is one of the most toxic neurotoxins found in nature. It was once considered the most toxic non-protein toxin in nature, and its toxicity is more than 1,200 times more toxic than cyanide. times. And because its toxicity blocks the transmission of nerve signals, the poisoned person will be paralyzed and die without any painful wails, just like an unexpected death. "

Kogoro's voice continued to explain, and as soon as he finished speaking, Officer Megure asked eagerly:

"But...wait a minute, brother Maori! Although pufferfish poison is indeed a highly toxic and incurable poison, generally speaking, pufferfish poison will kill people so quickly? Generally speaking, there is at least some time for rescue, right?"

"That's the case of accidentally ingesting unprocessed fugu meat, but what if more than a lethal amount of fugu poison is directly injected into the blood circulation?"

Kogoro continued to explain:

"After I understood this, I carefully inspected Mr. Kuroiwa's body. As a result, I found that on Mr. Kuroiwa's bloody right hand, there was an extremely hidden pinhole-like mark... I thought, if I If the information is correct, the murderer should have installed a poison needle stained with fugu poison on the door handle of the broadcast room. When Mr. Kuroiwa entered the broadcast room and opened the door, the poison needle pierced his hand.

"Then, when we arrived at the scene and found Mr. Kuroiwa dead in the broadcast room, the murderer only needed to take away the poisonous needle while everyone's attention was on Mr. Kuroiwa's body... This way Come on, as long as the poison needle is installed in advance, the murderer can complete the murder even if he is not at the scene! "

"But...if that's the case, other people may also be the murderers!"

Masato Qingshui couldn't help but roared.

"Why bother? Mr. Shimizu?"

Regarding Masato Shimizu's reaction, Kogoro couldn't help but said lightly:

"You should know that after the discovery of Mr. Kuroiwa's body, everyone has been under the surveillance of the police until now, so there is no chance that the murderer will have the opportunity to dispose of the poisonous needle he used to kill the deceased. So, as long as you After a body search, it was already clear who the murderer was...

"The prisoner has no way to escape long ago!"
