Chapter 1089: The Murderer Who Flipped the Table Himself [Bonus Chapter for Lord Meng Yi Hua ╮ Yi Ye]
Upon arriving at Setara Renxi's Room, Mori Kogoro still felt that Ayane Shitara's behavior was extremely abnormal. "Miss Renki, does your Grandpa know about her behavior?"
Setara Renxi thought for a moment. "He should know. the Storage Room is between my Grandpa's Room and my Grandmother's Room, and they are connected."
Haga Kyosuke opened the Door and came in with a Violin. "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just about how Grandmother would take out the Violin in the middle of the night," Setara Renxi said with some emotion. "I think Father's figure playing the Stradivarius for the last time must have left a deep impression on Grandmother's Heart. But let's not talk about that, Uncle, did you bring the Violin?"
"Yes," Haga Kyosuke held the Violin, walked to the windowside, pushed open the window, turned around to look towards the others, and his expression became serious. "Then, please enjoy listening to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem, Second Symphony K'626..."
As soon as the Violin started playing, Chi Feichei, who was sitting at the table and playing with his Mobile Phone with his head lowered, raised his head and looked towards Haga Kyosuke.
This is the Violin Haga Kyosuke tuned in the Annex Building this morning!
He couldn't accurately hear the Pitch and other details, but he could hear the difference in Timbre quality.
After meeting Chi Feichei's Line of Sight, Haga Kyosuke closed his eyes and continued to play the Violin slowly and steadily.
"So amazing!" Mouri Ran exclaimed softly.
Setara Renxi smiled and whispered, "Of course, Uncle Kyosuke is the chief Graduate of a German Music University, and his Violin Level is very high."
Conan once again turned into a Problem Child. "Why did Mr. Kyosuke open the Window?"
"It's always been like this when playing the Requiem," Setara Renxi said. "Because we want Grandpa and Grandmother upstairs to hear it. My Grandmother's Room is directly above this Room."
"If that Old Lady's Room is connected to Grandpa's Room, can they come and go freely?" Conan asked again.
"If the Room is locked from the inside, you can't get through from the Storage Room," Setara Renxi looked towards Tsumagari Kurenai, who was pushing tea and desserts through the Entrance. "The Door in the Corridor can be opened with the Spare Key from the Butler."
Conan continued to ask, "They are a Couple, but they sleep in separate Rooms?"
Haibara Ai looked at Conan, who kept asking questions, thinking that a certain Famous Detective was really disturbing others from listening to the music. She then looked towards Chi Feichei, noticing that Chi Feichei was staring at Haga Kyosuke in a daze, or perhaps looking at the window, and followed suit, looking towards Haga Kyosuke.
"Because Grandpa had a severe Smoking Addiction, and Grandmother hated the Smoke Smell," Setara Renxi patiently explained to Conan. "My Grandpa quit smoking only after getting Lung Cancer."
Conan still asked endlessly, "Then after the Old Grandpa passed away, who inherited this Violin?"
"Originally it should have been Grandpa Genichiro, but Grandpa Genichiro has Already passed away, so it should be inherited by Grandmother," Setara Renxi looked towards Haga Kyosuke, who was focused on playing the Violin. "Actually, I Hope that a Music Genius like Uncle Kyosuke would inherit it."
"Alright, Conan," Mouri Ran reminded him softly and helplessly. "Stop asking so many questions and just listen quietly."
"Are you still thinking about Serial Murder?" Mori Kogoro said like a Slacker. "Even if it's Serial Murder, one person has Already died This Year, and the next one will have to wait until Next Year. So don't be so noisy now."
Conan didn't Say So. He just had a vague Feeling that the Matters weren't over yet.
Pondering, Conan turned his head to look at Chi Feichei, finding that Chi Feichei Seemingly listened with extra focus.
His little partner was also acting strange Today. He Seemingly had no Interest in this Incident at all. When he heard that he speculated it was Serial Murder, he also looked indifferent, Just Like...
He was having an episode.
Among These People, Ayumi knew Chi Feichei a Bit earlier. According to the Situation Ayumi described, Chi Feichei should have also been indifferent to everything at that Time, Seemingly isolating Oneself from the World.
Moreover, Initially, when they first met, Chi Feichei was mostly like an autistic Patient. Just when he was slowly getting better Day by Day... had he been stimulated again?
"Click."
An abnormal Sound came from near the Window.
Conan came back to his senses and turned his head to look.
That Sound Just Now...
Under the gaze of the others, Ayane Shitara fell downwards from outside the window behind Haga Kyosuke, head first. Her face, filled with fear, flashed past the window, and then a dull thud came from outside as she landed.
The music stopped. Haga Kyosuke looked back at the window in Astonishment.
Mori Kogoro, Mouri Ran, Conan, Tsumagari Kurenai, and Haibara Ai stood up with astonished looks on their faces. Only Chi Feichei's Expression was as before, still sitting quietly in his original place.
After coming back to their senses, Mori Kogoro and Conan immediately stepped forward.
Downstairs, Ayane Shitara lay motionless in a Pool of Blood, maintaining a posture with twisted limbs.
Setara Renxi, who had followed them to look, let out a shriek. "Grand... Grandmother!"
"Quick," Haga Kyosuke, who was leaning against the window side, shouted, "Call the Ambulance!"
"Yes!" Tsumagari Kurenai ran out with Mori Kogoro and Conan.
Ten minutes later, the same Ambulance that had come earlier drove back again. After Confirming that Ayane Shitara was beyond saving, it left once more.
Half an hour later, the Police arrived, led by their acquaintance, Inspector Megure.
After surveying the crime scene, Wataru Takagi reported the situation to Inspector Megure, who was kneeling beside the corpse.
"So that's it. Brother Chi was invited to attend this Master's Birthday Banquet and arrived here Yesterday. Brother Mouri was invited to investigate the two Incidents from last Year and the Year Before, and happened to meet here. As a result, a Fire broke out in the Annex Building of this house, and a few Hours later, someone Jumped from the Third Floor of the Main Building..." Inspector Megure knelt in front of the corpse with black lines on his forehead, turned his head to look at Mori Kogoro, Chi Feichei, and the others, and couldn't help but tease, "You guys are really Death Gods."
"Don't say that, Inspector Megure," Mori Kogoro quickly said with a dry laugh. "This is just a Coincidence of Accidents piling up. Moreover, getting involved in incidents wherever we go is because of the Detective's unavoidable Instinct to seek out Incidents."
"That's why I Hope you can stay home properly..." Inspector Megure stood up. Seeing Chi Feichei's Calm Expression, and then thinking about the rising crime rate in Beihu Town, he fell into Silence.
This one isn't peaceful even when staying home.
Chi Feichei did not avoid Inspector Megure's line of sight, nor did he explain.
It was impossible to explain clearly.
He did want to propose 'executing Conan' or throwing Conan to other places to manually reduce Tokyo's crime rate, but Inspector Megure wouldn't believe it even if he said it.
Children are good; they won't be teased. The scapegoat is entirely borne by Mori Kogoro and his Master and Disciple.
"Cough," Inspector Megure saw that the two people didn't think they were Plague Gods at all, and coughed dryly, speechless. He looked towards Wataru Takagi. "Then? This old lady who died from the Building Jump is..."
After gaining knowledge of the situation, Inspector Megure and a group of people went to the third floor of the main building, Ayane Shitara's Room, to see the Violin that Tsumagari Kurenai had found broken on the floor.
Initially, Wataru Takagi speculated that Ayane Shitara jumped from the building to commit suicide because she had broken the Stradivarius. However, Conan, who popped up, reminded a group of people that the broken Violin was a High-Quality Replica.
Afterwards, Setara Choichiro, who came over, found the real Stradivarius in the curtain behind the bed in the room.
"Maybe she bought another Stradivarius to give everyone a surprise," Mori Kogoro speculated about Ayane Shitara's motive for building jump. "And then found out it was a High-Quality Replica, so she smashed it?"
"So that's it," Inspector Megure said. "Because she wasted a large amount of Money, she Jumped from the Building to commit Suicide Before her Husband found out?"
Conan frowned, about to refute, when he saw Chi Feichei standing quietly at the entrance like a soul of the deceased. He suddenly realized that Chi Feichei hadn't looked for clues with him in this incident and seemed unusually silent. He couldn't help but go to Chi Feichei's side. "What's wrong with you?"
"No interest." Chi Feichei said bluntly.
Conan choked. That's why he was asking what's wrong with Chi Feichei. Previously, even if Chi Feichei didn't speak out, he would wander around the crime scene vicinity a bit. This time, he didn't even touch the edge, as if he had completely become autistic...
"This way, it makes sense," Wataru Takagi gave recognition to Inspector Megure and Mori Kogoro's speculation. "Then, Mrs. Ayane is..."
"Wrong..."
As soon as Conan spoke out, Haga Kyosuke said almost simultaneously, "No, it's murder."
Conan was stunned, his head full of question marks.
"Mur... murder?" Inspector Megure looked towards Haga Kyosuke in Astonishment.
Haga Kyosuke's attitude was calm and composed. "It's very simple, the murderer is oneself."
Inspector Megure and Mori Kogoro looked bewildered.
Conan and Haibara Ai looked at Haga Kyosuke in surprise.
This is... another one who went crazy?
Chi Feichei also felt a bit unexpected and raised his eyes to look at Haga Kyosuke.
He was still considering whether or not to flip the table on Conan and reveal the truth, but this time, the criminal flipped the table oneself...
"The order of the deceased was decided based on the musical scale, starting with my deceased parents, whose first letters of their names are CDEFGA," Haga Kyosuke looked at the others. "But my parents' death had nothing to do with me, and the cases from the previous two years were the same. Only these two cases tonight were done by me. Uncle Genichiro, I added sleeping pill to the water in his room. This medicine was in my aunt's room. I stayed here for a month in advance and had already prepared. After he fell asleep, I secretly went to his room and lit a cigarette to use as an ignition device."
Conan's expression was strange. Previously, Haga Kyosuke was on his suspect list, but at present, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether Haga Kyosuke wanted to take the blame for someone else.
"As for Aunt Ayane, it's because the Stradivarius had already been swapped by me..." Haga Kyosuke said, looking towards Chi Feichei. "Originally, I would have tuned the Stradivarius last night, but Mr. Chi and Miss Haibara came to visit, and we were discussing sheet music the whole time, somewhat losing ourselves. So I woke up early this morning to start tuning the Stradivarius. Afterwards, what I brought back to the main building for Butler Tsukuba to keep was actually the swapped imitation. The real Stradivarius was placed in the car. At Early Morning 0 o'clock, Aunt Ayane went to the Storage Room to take out the Stradivarius. After arriving at the room, she discovered that it was just an imitation. At this time, when I played the real Stradivarius at the windowside downstairs, it would make her look towards the window outside..."
Saying this, Haga Kyosuke walked to the windowside and looked up at the window frame. "Tie two conductor's batons to the window frame separately, and then hang a violin at the intersection point of one of the conductor's batons. As long as the window is opened, the violin will be pushed away. Aunt Ayane, who is not in her right mind, will want to get the violin and will step on the window frame to lean out and reach for it, and then slide down with the violin that falls downstairs along the end of the conductor's baton. A rope is tied to the violin, connected to the window outside the room on one side downstairs. After falling, it will be pulled by the rope and suspended outside the window on the second floor. As long as I stand by the window and block the violin with my body when the corpse is discovered, and then retrieve the violin while everyone goes downstairs."
Silence.
Inspector Megure sized up Haga Kyosuke, turned his head and gave Mori Kogoro a gaze.
What does the famous detective think?
Mori Kogoro returned a stunned gaze.
Him? He suspected that Mr. Haga was overly stimulated and had gone crazy.
Why would a criminal, after meticulously designing all of this, honestly reveal everything?
Shouldn't they have a luck mentality and think they can deceive the police?
So, Mr. Haga must be crazy.
