Chapter 478: He remembers it even more clearly than he does himself.
Three years ago, Kiyoki suddenly fell to his death. The police found a blood-stained note in his hand, on which only the word 'hell' could be vaguely made out.
At the time, many people suspected that it was a threatening letter, but the police did not find any evidence that Kiyoki had been threatened or intimidated, nor did they find any clues that it was a murder. In the end, Kiyoki's death was classified as an accidental death.
As for why he was targeted, it's probably because "清" (qing) and "净" (jing) sound similar. (This isn't entirely accurate; I'm not familiar with Japanese, so I consulted the all-knowing Baidu.)
(The hiragana for 清 is きよし, and its romanization is kiyosi.)
The hiragana for "净" is きよい, and its romanization is kiyoi.
Although it was she who was being threatened with death, Qianzhu didn't care much about it and was even somewhat dismissive of it.
He simply stood quietly to the side, watching Kogoro Mouri and the other two, relying on their own aura and unafraid of being overheard, recklessly discuss which person was more likely to be the dangerous individual who sent him threatening letters.
Perhaps because there were too many people, Sheng Youyu did not arrange for them to gather together for dinner, but instead sent someone to deliver their dinner to their room door.
Dinner was exquisite and delicious, but Conan and Ran Mouri found it somewhat unappetizing.
After all, I've been worrying about this and that all day long.
Qianzhu wiped her lips with a handkerchief, looked around at them, shook her head helplessly, and suggested with a light laugh, "How about we go for a walk after dinner?"
Then he added a comforting remark, "This matter might not be as serious as you think. Worrying too much about it is not a good thing, right?"
Looking at the boy with his smiling eyes, their heavy mood suddenly lightened a lot, so they nodded with smiles, "Okay, let's go for a walk together later."
After dinner, they rested for a while, then got up, put on their shoes, and went out to take a walk around the mansion's courtyard.
I ran into Sheng Youyuren along the way and chatted with him for a bit.
"The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Katsura Yuto said with a smile, his hands behind his back, looking up at the moon.
Qianzhu smiled and nodded, raising her head to look at the bright moon. "Yes."
After exchanging only a few words, they parted ways with Katsuyuki, walking and talking as they returned to the doorway of the house.
Back in the room, they opened the door. One second they were chatting and laughing, the next second their faces showed a look of shock.
Qianzhu glanced at the papers that appeared to be sheet music scattered all over the room, but remained calm. Even though he knew that the pieces on them were all his own compositions, his emotions remained completely undisturbed.
They even felt that it would be more impactful if the other party had torn the paper into pieces and scattered it on the ground.
Qianzhu glanced at the three people who came in and picked up the sheet music to examine it, then bent down and casually picked up a sheet of music at her feet. On it was a large 'death' character written in red paint.
Hmm.
The other party even copied down all the songs he had composed, and not just once.
Qianzhu suspected that the other party now remembered his tunes even better than he did himself.
The three Mori picked up the sheet music and naturally saw the words on it; every single sheet had them.
"These are...!" Ran Mouri exclaimed instinctively, then swallowed the sound back abruptly, before turning her head sharply to look at Chizuru, who was looking down at the sheet music in his hand with an inexplicably calm expression.
