"Don't give up, you can still live. This is your responsibility to your family."
"Hatred cannot sustain the soul, but responsibility can. You have to fight to live for everyone in the Aso family!"
Staring at that hand, Asahi was momentarily stunned.
"Is that so... For the sake of family... to live on..."
"This is your family's hope, isn't it?" A gentle voice came from behind Yoruichi Toyama.
Asahi blinked, as if seeing Akemi's face clearly for the first time.
“I once asked a policeman at the island’s police station, and he said that besides the piano, there was one other thing that was preserved in the fire.”
Akemi spoke slowly, but both Asagi and Yoruichi Toyama showed surprise on their faces at the same time.
When did she go to the police station? ...
"It was a safe containing only a few handwritten musical scores, with Mr. Aso's signature on them."
As Akemi continued speaking, under the watchful eyes of the two, she actually took out a stack of yellowed papers from her coat pocket.
"This is..." Asagi's hands trembled. Even though Toyama Yoichi was in the middle, it seemed as if he was about to pounce on her and snatch the stack of papers.
Yoruichi Toyama's eyebrows twitched suddenly. Just as she was about to turn around, a sharp pain shot through her waist and abdomen, spreading throughout her body in an instant.
He looked down somewhat belatedly and saw a gleaming blade coldly flashing in the moonlight.
"you……"
The sticky blood seemed to belatedly gush out, quickly draining away the remaining strength.
Yuanshan Ye only had time to forcefully lift her eyelids and see the pair of eyes staring at her.
Those eyes shone with a bright, excited light.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment.
He could no longer see the people and things around him, but some seemingly unrelated images inexplicably flashed through his mind.
"...Akami...have you grown taller?"
"...Why don't we split up?...Let's go see Chief Blackrock Village..."
"...Conan-kun... doesn't seem to be his age at all..."
"..."
“No, you’re not Akemi…” Yoruichi Toyama managed to say, her outstretched fingers seemingly touching the other’s arm.
But with just a gentle push, he lost his balance.
Under the tranquil moonlight, a person falling into the sea splashes up silvery-white water.
...
From afar came the sound of waves crashing against the shore, and when you could hear it clearly, it seemed to be right next to your ear.
At the same time, there is also lively and rhythmic music.
Yoruichi Toyama had barely moved when a sharp pain shot through her stomach, forcing her to grimace and lie back down.
"Don't worry, someone will be here soon," someone said gently from the side.
Moreover, they must have known he couldn't look up, so they deliberately bent down to appear in his field of vision.
A young and handsome face, it's almost impossible to tell at first glance whether it's a man or a woman.
“Narima…Mr.?” Yoru Toyama was taken aback. His memories, which had been temporarily blank due to his unconsciousness, gradually returned, and he realized the somewhat awkward situation he was in.
Was he alone in a room with the suspect?
It seems they even rescued him from the sea...
Where am I?
With wave after wave of rocking and the clear sound of the waves in his ears, Yoruichi Toyama seemed to have an epiphany.
However, that music...
As if sensing his confusion, Asagi smiled and held up a tape recorder to show him.
The lively piano music continued, possessing a similar yet different quality to the one that had appeared beside Kawashima's corpse earlier.
The second movement of the piano sonata "Moonlight Sonata".
It is also one of the few pieces that laymen familiar with the refined music of Yoruichi Toyama know.
"Why are you still..." Yoruichi Toyama was about to retort to Asano Minami's pretentious behavior, but then stopped herself.
"Moonlight," right? ...
The first movement begins when Kawashima dies.
Now, the second movement...
"I'm saying, you and 'that guy' planned this together?"
"You targeted me from the very beginning?"
Considering the eccentric temperament of a certain gentleman, it's not hard for Yoruichi Toyama to accept that she herself was also a victim when planning this incident.
In any case, for magicians, they are just props for "performance".
Although the injury still caused him to feel weak in waves, Yoruichi Toyama thought that he might still have a fighting chance against a rookie like Asano Minami.
But Asano Minami paused for a moment, then laughed somewhat awkwardly.
Moreover, to avoid suspicion, he deliberately raised both hands in front of him and waved them repeatedly.
"Mr. Toyama, please don't misunderstand, I won't hurt you."
"It's just that this boat is too small, and it will take a long time to row to a place where we can go ashore. Although your injury is not life-threatening, it's best to treat it as soon as possible since it's been in the sea."
"Aren't there police officers at the activity center? They'll come over as soon as they hear the music."
...You're quite the clever little devil.
Yoruichi Toyama breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but mentally complain.
Of course, I also know that with Asano's physical condition, it would be too strenuous for him to row to another beach, get himself injured ashore, and even take him to the hospital.
"So, your ship was originally..." Suddenly, another thought popped into my mind.
Asahi nodded very frankly.
"Yes, the bodies of Kawashima and Kuroiwa were originally caught in the fishing nets under this ship."
