"Ma...Aso...Keiji?"

"Yes! Sister! It seems you know him!"

"No...not familiar! You should ask others!"

"Oh? Is that true? Then you don't know if you are familiar with this sister?"

Looking at Fukuzawa Yukiki who was holding in Kogoro Mori's hand, facing such a fortune, the gossip aunt secretly looked around and took this cute little thing into her pocket, and pulled Kogoro Mori and left the village office.

What Maori Kogoro didn't notice was that a drunk man leaning in the corner drinking sake sips at him was muttering to himself with a complicated look on his back.

After walking into the island along the path from the dock directly to the village office, Kogoro and the other two who came to their elder sister's house were warmly received.

After pouring a cup of hot tea for all three of them, the aunt who had secretly taken Fukuzawa Yukichi out and watched it several times did not say much, and sat directly opposite Kogoro Mori and started to feed him the stuff, and told him about Keiji Aso.

"Although I don't know why you asked Keiji Aso, I can tell you with certainty that this person has been dead for more than ten years!"

"What? Have you been dead for more than ten years?"

Although I had already guessed it before, after hearing this news, Kogoro Mouri still felt a little regretful.

However, since there is a prediction, he naturally has other guesses about the identity of the mailer.

"So does this dead Keiji Aso have any relatives or children or other people still on this island?"

"No more! It's been long since then! Not only him, but his wife and daughter were burned to death in it! Where can there be descendants!"

"What? The fire was burned to death?"

Kogoro Mori, who seemed to have grasped the situation this time, suddenly became energetic. He lifted the teapot that the aunt had placed beside him and poured a cup of tea for her, and then looked obedient and obedient.

People like the aunt who often talk to a group of women outside have a desire to talk to themselves, so how could they resist sharing their profound gossip with little fans like Kogoro Mouri who are full of curiosity?

So more than ten years ago, the tragedy that happened at Aso's house was presented to Kogoro Mori, the other two, under her spitting and spitting.

The pride of Yueying Village, the world-famous pianist Keiji Aso was invited to return to his hometown to present his beautiful piano music to his fellow villagers in his hometown, strangely locked himself up, brutally killed his wife and daughter, and ignited his home, playing Beethoven's piano sonata moonlight in the fire. What's even more strange is that the dead Keiji Aso actually left a curse on Yueying Island.

Two years ago, former village chief Yuuya Kameyama died unexpectedly before Keiji Aso's death, before performing a piano at the village activity center. When he was discovered, the song Moonlight was wandering around him.

So since then, there has been a strange story in this village - Moonlight Killing Song.

"Yong Kameyama?"

Finally, I heard a familiar name, Kogoro Mori, couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, the chat of the sculptors revealed that it was not only Yu Kameyama who died, but several. And it seemed that these people had done something bad that made the sculptors angry. The "he" who invited Kogoro Mori to this island also killed all of these people because of something. Then he chose to commit suicide?

"Is it because of Keiji Aso? But aren't all his relatives who have connections with him already killed in the fire? Who would kill someone if he avenges him?"

With the suggestion of the sculptors, after excluding the so-called Moonlight Murder of this aunt, Kogoro Mori, who temporarily identified this incident as a retaliatory murder, asked Keiji Aso's good friend during his lifetime.

"This... I'm a little confused! But I know that someone must know it!"

"who?"

"The old patrolman who lives in the village station has been a policeman on this island since we were born! There is nothing he doesn't know about big and small things in this village. It can be said to be a living dictionary on this island!"

"Old patrol?"

After hearing the person introduced by the aunt, Kogoro Mouri immediately remembered that the sand sculptures did mention this person, but they just asked him to get the keys of a warehouse. Is it appropriate for a stranger who just came to the island to ask someone for the keys of the warehouse on the island? These sand sculptures are really...

Then, because of this reason, Kogoro Mouri who did not go to find this old policeman immediately did not expect to accidentally turn back to this old policeman.

“So where is the place to stay?”

"I'll take you there!"

The aunt who took Kogoro Fukuzawa Yukiki was very employed. Not only did she provide a lot of evidence that he didn't know about Maori Kogoro who had just arrived on the island, but she also guided the direction for the subsequent path.

So with the sincere thanks from Kogoro Mouri, the simple aunt in the village enthusiastically brought Kogoro Mouri to the village station and introduced him to the old patrol who was preparing to take a nap.

"A famous detective from Tokyo? What are you doing here? This island has always been peaceful. Where do you need something like a detective?"

Faced with the introduction of the enthusiastic aunt and Kogoro Mouri's somewhat pleased himself, the old patrol obviously did not take it seriously. Kogoro Mouri, who was already well-known in Tokyo, obviously did not receive the warm reception of Officer Yokogami here.

Seeing that his famous detective brand was not working well, Kogoro Mori could only change his thinking.

"Look at the inspection, is it really peaceful here? So what's the matter with the letter of commission to ask me to investigate the real cause of death of Keiji Aso who died in a fire twelve years ago? Can you still feel peaceful here?"

"What? Someone entrusted you to investigate the cause of Keiji Aso's death? Isn't this a matter of conclusion? People and physical evidence are there, and he committed suicide! And it was under the terrible curse of the moonlight sonata."

"Obviously some people don't think so! So can the old patrol tell me who has a good relationship with him except for the family killed by Keiji Aso before his death? Is it so good to ask the detective to investigate a case twelve years ago?"

"This... let me think about it! Aso has been very talented in piano since he was a child! So after he became famous at a young age, he began to receive better piano education and performances outside. Most people in the village are actually not very close to him! If you have to say a good relationship, then it is Kameyama, Kawashima, Kuroshima and Nishimu who learned piano with him when they were young! By the way, Nishimu has the best relationship here! I remember that after Aso became a famous pianist, Nishimoto often attended his overseas performances to support him!"

"Guishan? Old patrol! The Guishan you are talking about is Yuki Kameyama, the former village chief who suddenly died of a mysterious death with a heart attack two years ago, right?"

"That's right! It's him!"

"this……"
