Moonlight Sonata 1

Tsukikage island

I looked at the ship which had just docked at a harbour. Under the shade of the tree, I could see Conan, Ran and Mouri stepping out of the boat.

"Finally they have come." I cracked my neck after waiting for a long time.

The incident this time called Moonlight Sonata.

Wherever Conan goes, it means someone have to die. This was the common sense.

As for Gin and Vodka, I left them starving and thirsty for a quite.

After months of torture, they didn't let out any words about their organization. I didn't need information about their black organization too much.

What I only need was Haibara Ai. Only after having her, I could move to my next step.

As for her location, I just hired some detective finding it for me. It should be near since when Ai became small, she ran away from the laboratory and passed out before Shinichi's house.

If they can't find her, I will do it myself anyway. 

This proved her importance in my plan.

"Only her can lure Vermouth" I mumbled.

Understanding how hatred Vermouth had for Ai, I knew Vermouth would come for Ai's life despite of the hiding danger.

If I looked at the situation like a chess game then the first target that I look at would be a king.

But to defeat the king wasn't easy. You had to defeat their pawn first and then their executives. 

Vermouth was a queen. Why I addressed her like that.

That's because the boss of organization having a soft spot for Vermouth. 

I assumed that he would dispatch his people just to save her. I didn't know whether this is work or not but at least, I will know soon.

Before that, I needed to familiar myself with my Noble Phantasm. This was the ultimate weapon to attack black organization.

"Let's play detective game, little Sherlock Holmes" 

If Conan were a Sherlock Holmes in modern then I would like to be a Jack the ripper.

"Let see. Can you crack the mystery of Hassan?" I moved deep into the forest.

When Conan and his family reached the town hall, he could see many people standing before the building. Mostly, they were angry with people inside the building.

Of course, as outsider, Conan didn't care the angry mob too much.

When he entered the waiting room, he could see other detectives as well.

"Oh. Mouri Kogoro. You also arrive for that letter right." 

"Ah right. You are."

"Hakuba Saguru. That's my name. I'm also a detective"

Hakuba Saguru, a teenage detective, worked mostly at England. He came here under one challenge letter.

"Where is Kudou Shinichi, anyway. I thought we will have competition at this place to settle our score." Hattori said while searching for Shinichi.

Hattori Heiji, known as detective of East, came here under one letter.

"Oh. He is not here" Ran answered.

"What. How can it be? The letter said he is here" Hattori Heiji showed the letter that he received.

[ Each 3 days, I will kill one person who is guilty for their past deed. Find me and stop my action together with Kudou Shinichi. To prove who is the best of the best. ]

"Anou. I think that is a prank letter."

"What. How can it be since I receive money and ticket." Hattori Heiji said.

"Oh. I thought we receive same letter" Hakuba Saguru said and showed his letter.

[ The mystery of the land is unsolvable. We spend money on you hoping you can crack the mystery about legendary killer living on our land. This is the only clue that we have. ]

He also showed the picture. It showed a white skull mask.

"Oh. Mine is investigation about Asou Keiji. That's it." Mouri Kogoro said.

"Hmm. Let see the hand writing." 

They observed 3 letters and discovered that 3 letters having same writing style.

"According to hand writing, we are invited by the same person." Conan said.

"Is that so" Mouri scratched his jaw. "Isn't this too much?"

"Anyway, I have received money so I will investigate my request. I go ahead to investigate. Bye." Hakuba Saguru left the room.

"What's about you." Conan asked Hattori Heiji.

"I will wait until Shinichi arrive. You can go ahead."

Hearing, Conan and Ran went to meet other people.

The time flew. The night came.

In the funeral for previous mayor.

Hideo Kawashima stood up and left.

"Where are you going. You dirty rat."

"I'm just going for a toilet. No need to be vigilant." he opened the door then left.

Tatsuji looked at him with angry eye.

It wasn't long that Moonlight Sonata music was played.

Conan standing outside could hear this music. He made a dash towards the piano room.

"Ahh" it was Ran's scream attracting everyone.

Conan only looked at victim with big eye.

It wasn't long that Mouri caught up with them. Even Mouri, who have seen many dead people, felt nausea after watching the scene.

Hattori Heiji and Hakuba Saguru arrived the scene and their eye also opened wide like Conan.

Human body contained several layers including skin, muscle, organs and skeleton.

Hideo Kawashima, the victim of this time, had been dissected mercilessly.

His skin was displayed on the piano. His skeleton was sitting on the chair and his organs scattered all around the room. The room got free-paint by his blood.

All of them didn't see the extreme murder case like this one.

"Damn it. I'm too late." Conan slammed into the door.

Ran passed out long ago. Many people came and also passed out like Ran.

"It likes a picture from hell." Hakuba Saguru commented. He didn't see a murder too brutal like this one before.

"Call police, fast. We have someone murdered here." Hattori ordered the nearest person.

The music continued playing. No one dared to enter the room.

"It's the curse of piano" someone exclaimed.

Conan didn't believe so he went for the source of music.

"Wait. Wait. Kiddo."

Mouri wanted to follow Conan behind but he had to lay his daughter on the ground first.

Conan jumped on the chair and looked inside the piano. He found a recording machine.

"This is not the curse. It's just a simple recording machine playing." he turned it off.

No music was heard anymore.

However, people were still afraid of piano.

"Let's take some evidence. Who followed behind the victim before his death."

Everyone was silent.

"This will take a quite."

They asked everyone one by one. The only conclusion that they got was no one is suspected.

"Tsk. This murder is too brutal. I have called police from the mainland. We need to wait special force before entering this case. Everyone go home and close the door. We will watch from now on" Mouri said.

Conan took down on his notes and Hattori inspected area around.

After hearing the testimony from people attending funeral, he couldn't find who was the culprit since to kill someone like this, he must spend a lot of time. 

Even so, a single scream didn't rang out or something like that making him have to think again.

Hattori searched for a weapon but he didn't find a single trace or clue.

Everyone was driven to the dead end.

The only clues they had were the letter that they received.

"Brother. Please let me see your letter." Conan asked.

"What's a coincidence. I also want to re-read my letter."

They read the content together and tried to find out the murder through letter only.

They still reached the dead end.

Outside the building, a skull mask was observing them from the shadow.

"3 young detectives. I hope you can solve this difficult math." I said. 

I wanted to test them and also test my Noble Phantasm. 

"It works pretty well than I thought." I inspected my demon arm.
