"Resolutely resist Chief Heiyan!"

"Give us back our farmland! Resolutely resist the evil deeds of Chief Heiyan!"

After enjoying a late lunch at a nearby family restaurant, Fujiwara Yu and his group came to the community center. As soon as they arrived, they saw a man in a sleeveless T-shirt shouting slogans of boycott without relying on a loudspeaker. The local people of Yueying Island nearby also cooperated by holding homemade signs and banners.

Maori Kogoro stopped aside, squinted his eyes, stared at the content on the sign, and muttered:

"Stop polluting Tsukikage Island Village's fishing grounds! It's forbidden to pollute the fisheries and return them to farmland... Tsk, it seems the current village chief has a very bad reputation. No wonder Dr. Asai said that Kawashima would win this election."

"Maybe he doesn't have time to see us with it being like this outside?" Fujiwara Yu put his hands in his pockets, silently took in the scene, and answered aloud.

"That's right. Forget it. Let's go in and sit for a while. We can't just stand here like idiots."

I walked up the steps of the community center and knocked on the closed door. I soon heard hurried footsteps from inside. The door was not opened in time, perhaps because I was worried that the people standing outside were villagers who were boycotting the village chief.

The door slowly opened, and standing inside was a squinty-eyed man in a suit. He pushed his square-framed glasses and looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him. His gaze lingered on the purple-haired young man for two seconds before he asked:

"Um, what can I do for you?"

"I'm a detective from Tokyo. I have something I want to consult with the village chief Kuroiwa. I wonder if he is free now?" Maori Kogoro took a step forward. He deliberately did not say Keiji Aso's name, worried that the other party would not see him if he said it.

A detective from Tokyo?

Although Mimiyan was a little confused, she nodded and pointed to the seat beside her and said:

"Then please sit here and rest for a while. I'll go and make the announcement."

"Well, thank you for your help."

They watched the squinting eyes leave, but what they didn't expect was that the squinting eyes would never come back. After waiting for dozens of minutes, Maori Kogoro, who was a little impatient, took out his mobile phone to check the time, looked at the end of the corridor in confusion, and said speechlessly:

"What's wrong with the villagers of Moon Shadow Island? Do the staff at the community center have such a poor sense of time? Even if they don't want to see us, they should at least come out and inform us. How long are they going to keep us waiting?"

"They should be busy preparing for the ritual, right? Dad, let's wait patiently for a while. It's only fourteen o'clock now, and we just had lunch not long ago. It's not too late to wait half an hour before leaving." The understanding Ran Mao Li responded.

Fujiwara Yu took out his cell phone to check the messages on Line. After making sure there were no unread messages, he casually walked in the corridor. Listening to the footsteps behind him, he knew without a doubt that Kudo was following him.

He reached out and pushed open the door of the unlocked room, and found that there was only a piano in the huge space. When he approached the piano, he noticed that there was a thick layer of dust on it, but the floor of the room was wiped clean.

The piano in the community center... Could it be that Keiji Aso played it during his lifetime, so no one wants to touch it?

Following in, Kogoro Mouri exclaimed, "What a big space!" and walked to the window. He found that the back door connected to the beach. It was quite pleasant to play the piano and enjoy the sea breeze here.

Mao Lilan looked down at the piano in front of her and asked curiously:

"This piano looks like it hasn't been maintained for a long time. I wonder if it can still be played."

Before he could reach out his hand, a squinting voice sounded at the door. He looked terrified and shouted to stop him:

"No! You can't touch that piano. It's the piano that Mr. Aso played at the concert he held here on the day he died. That piano has been cursed for a long time!"

"Curse? There is no curse in this world." Materialist Fujiwara Yudan said that the truly scary thing in this world is the human heart, not the non-existent curses and ghosts.

Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Mimi quickly explained:

"There really is a curse. Besides Mr. Aso, the same thing happened to the previous village chief!"

"Are you referring to Mr. Kameyama Isamu?"

He nodded with narrowed eyes, then lowered his head and recalled the past that had frightened him:

"Yes, it was a full moon night two years ago. I happened to be passing by this area that day. Normally, no one should have been in the community center at that time, but suddenly I heard the sound of a piano, so I shouted, 'Who's in there?' The piano music suddenly stopped, and I walked inside to see Mr. Kameyama slumped over the piano keys, dead.

The cause of death was a heart attack, and what's even more chilling is... the piano piece he was playing before his death was the "Moonlight Sonata" that Mr. Aso had repeatedly played in the flames! Since then, this piano has gradually become known as the "Cursed Piano," and the villagers are even afraid to touch it.

Ran Mouri, who was already afraid of monsters and ghosts, turned pale. She subconsciously grabbed her father's elbow, trying to find a little sense of security.

But she never imagined that the materialists here were excessive - Fujiwara Yu wore dust-free gloves to prevent his fingers from being contaminated by two years of dust. After he opened the piano lid, Conan, who was kneeling on the piano bench, showed off his piano skills and played the "Bayer Etude No. 8" that he was very familiar with.

The cheerful piano music made Mao Li Ran feel cold on her back. She was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She was so scared that she hid behind her father. She carefully stuck her head out and found that the culprit who frightened her was Conan.
