"Maybe that music score is the key to solving this case!" Officer Meguru's eyes lit up and he asked the old police officer, "Do you know where that music score is placed now?"

The old policeman thought about it, and then said slowly: "It should be placed in the warehouse of the community activity center."

"Okay!" Officer Memu was overjoyed, turned to look at one of his young subordinates, and ordered: "You go to the warehouse of the community activity center immediately and bring the music score!"

"yes!"

However, before the young subordinate could run out of the office gate, the old policeman slowly added another sentence.

"Don't worry, if you don't have a key, you won't be able to get in."

"Key?" Officer Meguchi was stunned, "Is it the key to the warehouse? On you? Or where did you put it?"

The old policeman nodded first, then smiled, and said naturally: "How could I carry such a warehouse key with me? Of course I put it in the police station..."

“…”

Officer Memu looked at the old policeman and couldn't stand his lazy personality and light tone. He rushed to the old policeman with a quick glance and shouted loudly: "Then what are you waiting for! Why don't you go and get the key back!!"

"Ah!? Yes yes yes!"

The old policeman was startled, shivered, and turned around and ran out of the office door.

Whether in terms of position or jurisdiction, Officer Memu is undoubtedly the boss of the old police officer, so even if the old police officer is about to retire and has difficulty moving, he still has to implement the order issued by Officer Memu!

The senior official level is crushed to death. I have never seen an old policeman run so fast in Xia Ri...

Conan looked at the old policeman's back as he left and pulled the corner of Summer's clothes.

"Brother Xia Ri, let's go and have a look together?"

Xia Ri nodded. Judging from the old policeman's confused behavior, it would be really not reassuring if there was no one to accompany him.

Thinking of this, Xia Ri greeted Xiaolan, and then the two of them left the door and chased the old policeman.

After Xia Ri left the office, the female policeman looked at the direction of Xia Ri leaving, frowned, and then walked to Officer Memu.

"Police Department, I have an idea!"

"Thinking? What's the thought?" Officer Meguru asked in confusion as he looked at Mikako Sato.

Since Sato Mikako made a bet with Xia Ri, Officer Memu has noticed that her capable subordinate suddenly became particularly serious and calm, and the expression on her face has become rarely serious. It seems that she is very concerned about this bet and must have won Xia Ri...

Mikako Sato leaned over to Officer Megumi and whispered to him: "Police Department, judging from the information I have now, I think the murderer will continue to commit crimes, so I have a plan..."

The next voice of Mikako Sato's voice was inaudible, and Officer Meguro couldn't help but nod after hearing Mikako Sato's plan.

"Okay! Just do what you said!"

...

After leaving the office, Xia Ri and Conan didn't go much far, and soon caught up with the old policeman. The old policeman was old and except for the first few steps he could run, for the rest of the journey, he could only move forward little by little while gasping.

Fortunately, the straight-line distance between the police station and the office is not very far, but to go through it, you have to walk several slopes. Although this slope is nothing to them in summer, for old police officers, you must be careful every step you take to prevent yourself from accidentally rolling down.

When they ran to the old policeman on summer day, the old policeman looked at them, not as if he was surprised that they were catching up.

"From your eyes, I saw the desire for the truth, so I was wondering just now whether you will follow."

Desire for the truth?

Xia Ri shook his head. Although he was very curious about the truth of this case, Xia Ri still wanted to solve the case first and win the bet.

Didn’t she say she couldn’t do it!?

I want her to see if I can do it!

Conan walked beside the old policeman, looked up at his old face, and asked, "Grandpa, did Mr. Aso really burn his home by himself?"

The old policeman nodded and said, "Well, that's right, several witnesses said so."

"Several witnesses? Who are they?" Xia Ri asked casually.

"Well..." The old policeman showed a look of memories on his face. After thinking about it, he continued, "...I remember four people including the former mayor, Mr. Kamenyama, the richest man, Mr. Kawashima, the current mayor, Mr. Kuroiwa, and Mr. Nishimoto..."

When Xia Ri was stunned when she heard these names, she subconsciously stopped.

These people... Except for Kameyama who died two years ago, Kawashima Eio and Kuroiwa Tatsuji were killed yesterday and today. Now, the only four witnesses are only Nishimoto Ken!

The cause of Keiji Aso's death was inexplicable, and there were only four witnesses at that time, three of whom died one after another. At this time, even if you think with your toes, Xia Ri knew that there must be some connection between the four of them.

In Xia Ri's mind, she thought of the mysterious letter sent to Kogoro before. Regarding the sender, Xia Ri once guessed that it was a relative or friend of Keiji Aso. Now it seems that this guess should be correct.

Damn, it took me so long to figure out the context of this case!

Xia Ri clenched his fists slightly, and he boldly speculated that perhaps the cause of Keiji Aso's death was actually because of these four people. These four people conspired to kill Keiji Aso. In order to keep the secret, they unified the argument and lied that Keiji Aso committed suicide by causing trouble!

If this speculation is true, the murderer must be seeking revenge for the purpose of killing them!

So, the next victim is Nishimoto Ken!?

Wait! But...If it's really a search for revenge, why would the murderer have to wait for 12 years?

Thinking of this, Xia Ri took a few steps and caught up with the old policeman.

"Old sir, can I ask about the relationship between these four people and Mr. Aso?"

"Their relationship?" The old policeman didn't know why Xia Ri asked this, but he still answered: "Well...they four and Keiji Aso grew up together. They were childhood playmates. I still remember that the five of them often went to learn piano together when they were young..."

"Amho and Nishimoto have the best relationship. Even after Aso became a famous pianist, Nishimoto often participated in his overseas performances to support him!"
