Chapter 67 Deciphering Metaphors

After leaving the community activity center, under the dim street lights and in the narrow alley, they walked towards the only hotel on the island in summer.

Around me, Asai Narimi kept sending them far away, and finally made a separation with them at the gate of the hotel.

"I really hope you can solve the case as soon as possible... I really don't want to do an autopsy or something."

Kogoro slapped his chest and made a guarantee: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me! In front of my famous detective Kogoro Mori, it is impossible to solve the case without a case!"

Xia Ri glanced at him and laughed in her heart. Just blow it hard. If the case is not solved, where will you put your old face?

Yueying Island is not big, and the murder case was passed down quickly. It spread throughout the island in just a few hours, and it was well known to everyone.

However, even though the elderly people had already made it clear, they still stubbornly believed that this matter was the soul of Keiji Aso.

After Asai Narimi left, they walked into the hotel in the summer and opened three rooms.

Originally, Kogoro wanted to save money and only opened two rooms, but Xia Ri really didn't want to live in the same room with Kogoro. He smelled his stinky feet and had to open another room alone.

The owner of the hotel shop is a half-old Xu girl. She heard that Kogoro seemed to be a famous person from Tokyo and kept throwing charming eyes at him.

In this regard, Kogoro was a rare serious moment. He looked like a gentleman without squinting. If Xia Ri didn't know Kogoro's nature well, he might have been deceived by his appearance!

Of course, according to Xia Ri's observation, the fundamental reason for this situation is that the boss's appearance is really unsatisfactory. If she has a little beauty, I am afraid that Kogoro would have put it on it on his own initiative.

When I came to my room, I threw my backpack aside from the summer and lay comfortably on the bed. Alas, from the early morning to now, I finally had a good rest.

I stretched my waist on the bed, but before summer could stretch my muscles and bones, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door.

"Brother Xia Ri, are you in the room?"

It's Xiaolan's voice.

"I'm here, what's wrong?" Xia Ri climbed up from the bed with difficulty and opened the door.

"Conan said he discovered some situations and my dad wanted you to go there."

What? Conan discovered the situation?

Xia Ri was stunned and said nothing. She left the door and followed Xiaolan into Xiaogoro's room.

In the room, Conan and Kogoro were watching the strange letter they had received before.

Regarding Conan, Xia Ri's impression is no longer as bad as when he first met. Although he is still a naughty child, in some aspects, Xia Ri has to admit that Conan often notices the details that he and Kogoro did not notice.

"Conan, what did you find?"

Conan handed the letter to Xia Ri, and said, "I already understand the metaphor of this letter!"

"Metaphor?" Xia Ri took the letter and read the content on it again. There were too many things happening today. If Conan hadn't mentioned it, Xia Ri would have forgotten the letter.

"The next full moon, the shadows on Moon Shadow Island will begin to disappear again, I hope you investigate."

Conan pointed to the words "Shadow will begin to disappear again" above and explained to Xia Ri: "In fact, these words are vaguely these words. The shadow will disappear, that is, be surrounded by light. This light refers to the piano song "Moonlight" that we heard in the community activity center today!"

"Twelve years ago, when the pianist Keiji Aso committed suicide by burning himself at home, this song was played repeatedly in the blazing flames!"

"There are also the song "Yuang Kameyama, who died of a heart attack, two years ago, and the song played by his former mayor, before his death was also the song "Moonlight"!"

"And today, this song "Moonlight" was played again, which shows that the letter is simply a trailer for the murder time on Moon Shadow Island on the full moon night!"

After listening to Conan's analysis, Xia Ri carefully studied the content of the letter and found that it could indeed be explained.

"You can even think of this? It's done well!" Xia Ri smiled and rubbed Conan's hair until she rubbed Conan's hairstyle in a mess, and then she let go of her hand.

"Hehe, I really liked playing this kind of text puzzle game since I was a child, so this is not a problem for me!" Conan smiled shyly and was praised by Xia Ri, and was still very happy.

"When I was young?" Kogoro looked at Conan in confusion and grabbed the loophole. "Aren't you just a little devil now? Why are you talking about childhood..."

It's over!

Conan cried out inwardly, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly replied: "It's kindergarten. I started to like this kind of thing when I was still in kindergarten!"

On the side, Xia Ri frowned and stared at the letter, as if she could see the key point.

"You wait a moment." Xia Ri's face suddenly changed, and he said, "The letter said 'the shadow will begin to disappear again'. Does "starting to disappear" mean that this matter is not over, but just a beginning?"

Upon hearing this, Conan and Kogoro's faces changed suddenly. They approached the letter and almost pressed their eyes on them.

"Damn it!" After reading it for a while, Kogoro grabbed the letter in his hand. "It turns out that this letter was actually a challenge book given by the murderer to me, the famous detective Kogoro Mori!!"

"You guys stay in the hotel, I want to go to the community event center again!!"

While speaking, Kogoro had already run out of the door. Looking at Kogoro's back, Kolan hurriedly called him.

"Event Center? What are you doing there!?"

"Of course I'm going to wait for the rabbit!" Kogoro said urgently, "The three things that have happened so far are all in the piano room of the community activity center, so there is a great possibility that another murder will occur there!"

"And there is no one there now, and for the murderer, it is a good time to commit the crime!"

After saying that, Kogoro rushed out of the hotel in a flash and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only Xia Ri and the other three looking at each other.

"What should we do?" Xiaolan asked.

"What else can I do?" Xia Ri sighed, "Although I don't think there will be another murder incident tonight, it's important to solve the case. Let's go to the activity center together. After all, Uncle Kogoro can't stay there alone."

Before leaving, Xia Ri looked at his room with nostalgia.

Alas, my soft double bed!

I haven't lie enough yet!!
