Chapter 63 Clarifying the Curse
These islanders don’t even know themselves? Damn, don’t they usually read newspapers and TV?
So ignorant!
Kogoro glanced at the group of people angrily and shouted loudly: "Now that a murder has occurred, the murderer is likely among you, so don't leave here for now!"
Hearing this, the residents were shocked and looked at the old friends around them who had been with them for decades with caution, and guessed who the so-called murderer would be.
And at this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.
"This is not a murder! It's a curse! It must be the cursed piano being the cause! Look, no one plays the piano, but that piano keeps..."
Although he did not finish his words, the faces of the residents present changed suddenly.
Indeed, from the beginning when they heard the music, to the end when they entered the piano room and found the body, and now, the sound of the piano music has never stopped from beginning to end. This feeling is like a pair of invisible big hands playing this song again!
"Oh my God! It's really a curse!?"
There was a big commotion in the crowd. It is hard to imagine that in today's scientific society, there would be such superstitious people.
"No, there is no curse at all!"
Xia Ri shook his head, and because he was standing in front of the piano, he heard it very clearly. He lowered his head, bent down and searched inside the piano for a moment, and then took out an old-fashioned radio from it.
The tape on the radio is still rotating, and it is the music it plays that makes everyone have a supernatural illusion.
"Look at it!" Xia Ri raised the radio so that everyone could see it clearly. "The sound of the piano music is emitted from this radio, so curses are simply a method of concealing people's ears!"
After saying that, Xia Ri pressed the pause button on the radio, and with the sound of "click", it turned out to be echoed in the piano music above the community activity center and stopped!
Xia Ri continued: "It is conceivable to link this incident with the two deaths that have happened before, it is clearly a carefully planned murder case!"
However, although the words of summer are very convincing, the curse has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the residents of the island, so people are still half-believing and half-doubting about the explanation of summer.
At this time, Kogoro looked at Xiaolan again.
"Xiaolan, I remember there was a police station on the way from the port to here. Go there and report the case with the police!"
"Okay! I'll go now!"
When Xiaolan ran away, Kogoro's eyes passed over the crowd and saw Nariki Asai standing in the corridor at a glance.
"Miss Cheng Shi... You said before that you had an autopsy? Can you please check this body?"
"No problem!" Asai Narimi nodded happily, then rolled up her sleeves and squeezed away the crowd, walked towards the body in front of the piano, and carefully inspected every detail.
While Asai Narishi was examining the body, Xia Ri stood next to the body. Because he knew nothing about the autopsy, he turned his eyes to the floor under the body.
The body was wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water. Xia Ri's eyes moved along the water stains on the floor to another door in the piano room.
There is the sea outside the door, and only the sea can soak the corpse in so much water nearby. Judging from the traces on the floor and the mud and sand on the back of the corpse, the corpse was obviously taken out of the sea, dragged from the floor, and placed in front of the piano.
Xia Ri walked to the window next to the door and looked into the sea. Originally, he just wanted to take a look at it casually, but he didn't expect it. However, with the help of the lights in the room, Xia Ri looked at it for a while and found something floating faintly on the sea!
Huh? What is that?
"Uncle Kogoro, look! There is something in the sea!!"
"Is there something?" Hearing this, Kogoro quickly walked to the window and followed the direction of Suzumi's finger. Sure enough, he saw something floating with the waves as the sea water.
"There is really something..." Kogoro stared at the sea without turning his eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "It seems like a coat! Maybe it's the coat of the deceased, maybe we can find some clues on it!"
Kogoro said, opening the door and trying to get his coat back, but just took two steps and looking at the sea in front of him, he suddenly stopped.
"Damn it, I bought this suit on me for a lot of money. If it gets wet in the water..."
Kogoro turned his head to Xia Ri, and was about to ask Xia Ri to go into the water to get the piece back, but he saw that Xia Ri had already squinted his eyes and stared at him with cold eyes. His eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Kogoro's heart.
Kogoro hesitated for a moment and did not dare to speak. Then, he turned his head to Conan beside him.
"Hey, Conan, go to the sea and get that coat over!"
"Oh!!!?I!!!?"
Conan was stunned. He was about to refuse, but he realized that even if he spoke, Kogoro's virtue would probably be futile.
He sighed, there was no way. Kogoro bullied him with the big bully and the small bully for a long time, so what can he do?
Thinking of this, Conan no longer hesitated. He took off his coat and placed it on the floor. Then he went to the beach to get into the water, swam to the front of the coat in a very standard swimming posture, and brought the coat back.
When Conan came back, Kogoro took over the coat and looked through it carefully.
Unfortunately, there were no obvious marks on the jacket, and the pockets were empty and there was nothing.
"Damn it! There is nothing! I'm looking forward to it in vain!" Kogoro threw the coat on the floor with some anger.
Xia Ri was also disappointed. He shook his head and looked at Asai Haruhi.
Asai Nariki had already examined the body by this time. She stood up and wiped her hands with the tissue she carried with her.
"Based on the corpse spots and the stiffness of the corpse, the time of death of the deceased should be 30 to 60 minutes ago."
"The deceased's eyes were bleeding, which at first glance looked like he died of suffocation, but there were no signs of swelling on his face, and there were no traces on his neck. In addition, there were subtle foam remaining on his mouth and nose... Mr. Kawashima should have drowned."
Drowning?
Asai Nariji is a professional doctor. Not only is she clear-cut, but her words are also easy to understand. Even people like Xia Ri who knows nothing about autopsy can understand what she will say.
