Stay away from Conan

Chapter 623 I’m afraid I can’t stop you from killing people

"Special reason?"

Hearing Gao Yuan's inquiry, Asai Narumi's expression changed slightly. He was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile, and replied with a very serious expression:

"There is no special reason...just because I like this island!"

In this regard, looking at Asai Narimi's sincere expression, Gao Yuan knew that in a way, Asai Narimi was indeed not lying——

After all, this is the hometown of his father, Keiji Aso!

However, thinking that Gao Yuan, who had at least asked for some clues, did not need to stay here any longer, he pretended to go to the toilet, said goodbye to Asai Narumi, and walked towards the community activity center...

…

When Gao Yuan arrived near the community activity center, before Gao Yuan could get closer, he heard the villagers surrounding the community activity center demonstrating and venting their demands——

“Down with the authoritarian violence of the current village chief!”

“Stop the encroachment on farmland!”

"Give me a clean fishing ground!"

One after another, these three shouts in the crowd were the most intense. In addition, there were some scattered shouts, which were drowned in these three large streams of shouts.

In this regard, Gao Yuan had no intention of delving into the interest disputes on the island, so he walked into the community activity center alone, and then in the corridor of the activity center, he saw Kogoro and his group waiting here——

At the same time, in an office in the community activity center with a view outside the window, listening to the protests from the villagers outside, the current village head, who is in his fifties, has a bald head and is slightly fat. Kuroiwa Tatsuji couldn't help but said angrily:

"Damn it! You chose the day when the former village chief was performing rituals to cause trouble. How rude!"

"What a nasty bunch!"

In response to this, the village chief's only daughter, Kuroiwa Reiko, who was wearing a black dress, could not help but feel disgusted by the shouts of the villagers outside. Then she yelled at another man in his thirties wearing glasses in the room:

"Hirata! Why are you still here? Why don't you hurry up and try to silence those guys!"

"Yes...yes, miss..."

In response to this, the man named "Hirata" looked slightly timid and respectfully replied to Kuroiwa and his daughter, and then ran out in a panic.

And he is Kuroiwa Tatsuji's secretary, Hirata Kazuaki.

——"Do you think this will solve the problem?"

At this moment, another tall and thin man with dark skin, wearing a knitted hat and sunglasses was standing by the door. He was leaning on the wide side of the door and couldn't help but say lightly.

"W-Monday..."

Hearing this man's words, Kuroiwa Reiko couldn't help but said in surprise, and the man she called "Monday" was her fiancé, Murasawa Monday.

Seeing the attitude of Kuroiwa and his daughter towards the villagers, Murasawa said sarcastically without any scruples even as the fiancé of Kuroiwa Lingzi:

"I just asked a few villagers for their opinions. It seems that your father is not very favored this time."

——"Yes, the candidate with the most support from the people this time is none other than me!"

Just as Murasawa was saying this on Monday, Hideo Kawashima, a tall man with a mustache on his lips and the richest man on the island, couldn't help but come in and say.

Faced with the provocation from his competitor at this time, Kuroiwa Tatsuji retorted unhappily:

"Hmph! This guy only uses money to win people's hearts!"

"Haha, each other."

Listening to Kuroiwa Tatsuji's rebuttal, Kawashima Hideo did not deny it, but said so meaningfully.

At this time, Hirata Kazaki, who had just gone out, quickly turned back and reported to Kuroiwa Tatsuki with some worry:

"Village Chief, there is a gentleman who wants to see you..."

"Who? Picking this time?"

Kuroiwa Tatsuji asked with an unhappy tone and was in a bad mood.

"It's...a detective from Tokyo..."

Hirata and Akira said this timidly, and then Kuroiwa Tatsuji's face turned pale with shock...

…

"How about it? Does the current village chief agree to meet?"

Walking into the community activity center and seeing Kogoro and the other three waiting here in the corridor, Gao Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I just met the village chief's secretary. I don't know if I can meet the village chief yet..."

Xiaolan couldn't help but answer Gao Yuan's question, while Kogoro was sitting on the only sofa in the corridor, smoking a cigarette, waiting a little impatiently, and said displeasedly:

"It's so slow...how long do we have to wait here!"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

To this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but reply, and then he noticed that Conan was looking curiously towards a door at the end of the corridor, so Gao Yuan also walked to Conan's side and looked through the glass of the double door. I looked inside and saw the scene in the room behind the door——

The empty room, and the only thing in it, was a black piano.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan knew that this was the piano that Keiji Aso had used back then, so before Conan opened the door out of curiosity, Gao Yuan took the initiative to open the door and walked in.

Conan was the first to bear the brunt of this, and quickly walked in here looking very curious.

At the same time, Kogoro and Xiaolan seemed to be impatient with waiting outside, followed Conan and Gao Yuan, and entered the room together to take a look——

"Is it a piano?"

Seeing that there was only one piano in this large room, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh, and then followed Gao Yuan and Conan to the piano to observe.

Kogoro couldn't help but notice that from the window of this room, he could directly see the sea outside——

That is, behind the activity center is the seaside.

"This piano is really dirty... You should find someone to take good care of it..."

Seeing that such a good piano was actually covered with dust, Xiaolan said with a little pity.

"It looks like no one has used it for a long time... Could it be that this was the piano that Keiji Aso used twelve years ago?"

Knowingly asking, while Gao Yuan said this, he already leaned down, reached his hand under the base of the piano, and began to fumble——

If I remember correctly, the piano in the original work was...

"You can't touch that piano!"

At this moment, Hirata Kazuaki, the village chief’s secretary, suddenly rushed to the door of the room, pointed at the people gathered around the piano and shouted -

"That was the cursed piano that Mr. Aso used in his concert on the night of his suicide!"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan, who was originally afraid of this kind of thing, was startled, then took a few steps back, and then asked in horror:

"What cursed piano?"

"No...it's not just about Mr. Aso..."

Somewhat stumbling, Hirata Kazaki said nervously:

"Similar things happened to the former village chief..."

In this way, Hirata Kazuaki began to talk about what happened two years ago, about the death of the former village chief Kameyama Isamu——

It was also a full moon night. When Hirata Kazaki happened to pass by the community activity center, he heard the sound of a piano coming from the supposedly empty activity center. But when he went in curiously, he saw the mayor of Guishan Village lying on the piano, dead from a heart attack.

——"What's even more frightening is that the song he played before his death was exactly Beethoven's "Moonlight" that Keiji Aso played repeatedly in the blazing fire! From then on, the people on the island No one will dare touch this cursed piano again!"

In a vivid and vivid way, even Hirata Kazuaki, the narrator, felt scared. Hirata Kazuaki told the story about the piano curse.

Such a narration obviously frightened Kogoro and Xiaolan who were present.

But even so, Gao Yuan and Conan remained unmoved——

Because Gao Yuan knew the plot of the original work, after listening to Hirata Kazuaki's words, he was basically sure that some basic events had not deviated. The secrets about the piano were probably the same as in the original work.

As for Conan, I am just curious...

Just press the keys of the piano and start playing randomly!

——"This piano seems to be nothing special."

Conan couldn't help but say.

Gao Yuan also took advantage of the situation and moved his fingers across the keys, making a series of sounds. Then he couldn't help but look at Conan and asked in a low voice:

"How's the pitch?"

"Please go out!"

Seeing Gao Yuan and Conan using the piano so unscrupulously, Hirata Kazaki looked even more horrified and stepped forward to dissuade him——

"Anyway, I'd rather trouble you to wait here until the ceremony is over..."

After sending Gao Yuan and others out of the room, Hirata and Ming closed the door with a backhand.

Kogoro and others had no idea about this, but Gao Yuan, who was familiar with the plot of the original work, after confirming that the condition of the piano might be no different from the original work, began to consider whether to try to contact the person who was suspected of being from the Narcotics Control Department first...

"Oh? Are you still here?"

At this moment, in the corridor, I saw Asai Naomi, who had changed into a black slim-fitting dress, followed by a middle-aged man with a kind expression, who happened to arrive here——

"Yes. Miss Cheng Shi, why are you here? This is..."

Xiaolan responded politely, and at the same time looked at the middle-aged man and asked curiously.

"Ah, I happened to meet Mr. Shimizu on the road! Let me introduce him, he is also a candidate for this village chief election, Mr. Shimizu Masato!"

Asai Narumi replied.

"Hello, I am Masato Shimizu, please give me some advice."

Polite, Masato Shimizu couldn't help but reply.

"Mr. Kameyama is the first deceased person I inspected after coming to this island, so I came here to burn incense and pay homage."

Asai Narumi explained to Xiaolan the reason why he came.

Therefore, since Kogoro and others are not from the village, and were not invited to participate in the former village chief's ritual ceremony, Kogoro and others will not be able to see the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji until the ceremony is over.

Therefore, before the ceremony was over, Kogoro and others could only wait outside the community activity center——

"Hey? Where's Mr. Akechi?"

However, when Kogoro and others came to the community activity room, they found that Gao Yuan was not seen...

…

Night falls, and the moon in the sky tonight is indeed a perfect full moon.

Under such a sky, and then the moonlight, Asai Narumi looked at Gao Yuan who was blocking him in front of him, and couldn't help showing a very surprised expression——

"Sorry, Doctor Asai. I was afraid that I couldn't stop you from killing people, so I have been following you since just now..."

Somewhat helplessly, Gao Yuan looked at Asai Narumi in front of him and couldn't help but say...
