Chapter 327 Moonlight Sonata Begins

"Little Changsheng, how's it going? Is there anything to see over there?"

Seeing that the children were alright, Xiaolan finally felt relieved and had the time to ask them how their outing had gone.

Wang Changsheng led Reigen Arataka to Sakura's side, smiled at her first, and then obediently replied to Ran, "There's not much to see. If you go in from here, there's a path. Follow the path and you'll be almost at the beach."

"Hmm? The beach?" Xiaolan turned her head to look.

Indeed, if you walk a little further towards the community center, you'll find yourself facing the vast ocean.

However, she hadn't expected that this grove of trees would connect to that other side.

Of course, the paths in the woods are usually winding and meandering, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just asked with a hint of sadness, "Um, you didn't meet... meet... you mean..."

Xiao Lan stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly.

However, Wang Changsheng instantly understood what she meant.

"Sister Xiaolan, are you asking if we encountered any ghosts inside?" Wang Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth.

The moment he finished speaking, two people reacted the most strongly.

One of them was Xiaolan, who was startled by Wang Changsheng's words. With so many people surrounding her, she still managed to tremble slightly on the spot.

The other one is Xiaoying, who is standing next to Wang Changsheng.

Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, she instinctively grabbed his arm with both hands and asked somewhat fearfully, "What are you saying, Xiao Wang...?"

"Yeah, did you meet someone inside...?" Xiaolan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"No way! He was just trying to scare you, Ran-neechan!" Before Wang Changsheng could explain, Conan jumped out first.

He was just trying to scare Xiaolan, and as a result, he was pushed and fell on his bottom.

Now that Wang Changsheng is like this, shouldn't we let him fall on his butt too?

Conan ran to Ran's side, pointed at Wang Changsheng, and splashed dirty water on him: "We didn't see anything in there. We just went through and found the back entrance of the community center, which is that very secluded music room. There was nothing else. Ran-neechan, he did this just to scare you!"

After saying that, Conan looked at Wang Changsheng with great anticipation in his eyes.

He pointed at the other person while looking up at Xiaolan.

It seemed as if they were waiting for Xiaolan to make a move.

That's just him overthinking it.

Furthermore, instead of seeing Ran make a move, he was met with Uncle Mori's dismissive remark: "Hey kid, can't you behave yourself?"

Conan: "..."

Sensing the slightly threatening gaze from Uncle Mori, Conan sheepishly lowered his raised hand.

However, he was indeed very dissatisfied.

Why should I be targeted for saying just a few words?

This guy clearly guessed what Xiaolan wanted to ask, something that could be explained in a single sentence, but instead of explaining, he asked a question in return.

Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to scare Xiaolan?

Why aren't you hitting him?

Damn it.

It's unbearable to repair!

Message: Negative points from Conan Edogawa +1000

Looking at Conan, who had been forcibly paused by Uncle Mori without him saying a word, Wang Changsheng revealed a faint smile.

When he smiled, his dark eyes, as deep as a still pool, were meeting Conan's gaze.

The latter clearly saw a provocative glint in his eyes.

Conan clenched his fist.

Wait until I turn back into an adult!

I'll make you pay for this!

Conan was already fantasizing about turning back into an adult and slamming a dunk on Wang Changsheng's head.

"Ran-neechan, just like Conan-nii said, we didn't encounter any ghosts in the woods. There really wasn't anything there."

After seeing the system continuously popping up notifications, Wang Changsheng smiled contentedly and said something to Xiaolan.

"Oh, no, that's good, that's good..." Xiaolan nodded with a sense of relief, and her fear of the dark forest subsided a bit.

After all, what frightens people most is the unknown.

Wang Changsheng had already gone through the forest once and returned. Although Xiaolan still couldn't help but wonder if there were any terrifying things in the woods, she wasn't as scared anymore.

Seeing Xiaolan's cheerful expression, Wang Changsheng just smiled and didn't finish his sentence.

He did not encounter any ghosts in the woods.

Because he met him at sea.

This isn't exactly a lie, is it?

They simply concealed some information in good faith.

"You've come at the right time; I think the memorial service inside the museum has already ended."

Uncle Mori coughed twice, and then spoke to Wang Changsheng.

Just as he finished speaking, a burst of piano music suddenly rang out.

Sakura was startled and, instead of just holding onto Wang Changsheng's arms, she hugged them tightly.

Xiao Lan was also startled, and her gaze suddenly turned to the community center behind them.

The mournful and desolate zither music was coming from inside the pavilion.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's just the sound of a piano." Wang Changsheng didn't expect the piano music to come so suddenly, and quickly patted the head of the person next to him.

At this moment, Xiaoying practically nestled into Wang Changsheng's arms.

To comfort her, Wang Changsheng squeezed Xiaoying's soft little hand.

However, his pinch made Sakura feel a little embarrassed.

Now she wasn't scared anymore, and she awkwardly let go of Wang Changsheng's arm and crawled out of his embrace.

The two little ones were clearly being a bit too affectionate.

However, none of the adults present paid attention to them.

Yuanmei's beautiful eyes sparkled as she gazed at the community center, which seemed to be situated on a vast ocean.

Everyone else was staring at the community center, and Conan's expression changed drastically. Before Uncle Mori and the others could react, he had already strode towards the entrance of the community center.

Only one person's attention was completely elsewhere.

This person, needless to say, is Zhi Shi.

She stared intently at Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying's backs, a lingering joy on her face, and a camera had somehow appeared in her hand.

"Ran, this piano piece..." Uncle Mori's expression wasn't very good either. He frowned and looked at Ran, wanting to confirm his thoughts.

Before Ran could recover from her daze, Tomoyo's mother narrowed her eyes and said, "This piece is Moonlight Sonata."

"Ah..." Upon hearing this, Xiaolan came back to her senses, her expression immediately becoming somewhat flustered, and she exclaimed in surprise.

This piece of music was the one they had heard during their investigation.

It was also on this island that the music became associated with death.

The original legend already frightened Xiaolan, but now it suddenly and eerily resounded in the quiet night, making her even more panicked.

"Let's go in quickly!"

At this moment, Uncle Mori took charge and quickly gave instructions to everyone.

Of course, he didn't actually react immediately either.

However, the person who reacted first had already rushed into the museum.

Xiao Lan couldn't stop her.

After saying that, Uncle Maoli took the lead and ran towards the gate of the community center, with Xiaolan following closely behind.

"Come with me. Once inside, don't wander off. Stay close to me," Yuanmei said, glancing down at the children.

"Received." Wang Changsheng and Zhi Shi both nodded.

The group then headed towards the community center.

Fortunately, they were already at the entrance of the community center, so they could walk in in just a few steps.

Wang Changsheng held Xiaoying's hand in one hand.

Tomoyo, holding a camera, followed straight behind them, forcing Syaoran to push himself further back.

Finally, Reigen Shinryu came in last place.

At this moment, Sakura is naturally the most confused about the situation.

Unlike Wang Changsheng, she didn't know much about Moonshadow Island.

Unlike Tomoyo, she didn't get any information from her mother.

Even Little Wolf, who had just gone for a stroll with Wang Changsheng, learned some things.

She was completely unaware of what was happening, as Wang Changsheng led her forward.

Although she was startled by the music that suddenly started playing in the hall, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

However, seeing everyone suddenly become somewhat flustered, she panicked along with them, even though she didn't know what was going on.

After entering the community center, the group followed the people in front and immediately arrived at the music room.

Conan was the first to arrive.

A crowd had already gathered there, and Conan was squeezing his way in.

But before he could squeeze in, Uncle Mori and the others ran over too.

The piano room door was tightly shut, and everyone present was in a panic.

Almost every resident on the island knows the legends about the piano and the moonlight.

None of them dared to open the door.

"Make way, make way!" Uncle Mori shouted as he squeezed inside.

Yuan Mei left Wang Changsheng and the other children outside the crowd. She told Ling Huanxinlong to keep an eye on the children, and then took a few steps forward to check on the situation.

At this moment, looking towards the direction of the music room, not only Wang Changsheng, but also Xiao Lang next to him frowned.

"Inside..." the little wolf transmitted his voice.

"That's right, the ghost's body should be inside." Wang Changsheng replied with a frown.

He rubbed his temples.

"This man must have died at sea, but he's probably been dragged here by Asai Narumi by now," he thought to himself.

A body that drowned in the sea must be pretty scary...

Wang Changsheng glanced subtly at Sakura and Tomoyo beside him.

He instinctively didn't want the two girls to see the waterlogged corpse.

He was someone who deserved to die.

They're already dead, so why bother offending their eyes?

Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng took Xiaoying's hand and said to her and Zhiye, "With so many people gathered here, something must have happened inside. We kids shouldn't go and join the fun."

"Okay! Let's stand here then." Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Xiaoying nodded repeatedly without hesitation.

She didn't sense any Clow Card aura here.

Moreover, what happened here is very likely unrelated to magic.

Since it has nothing to do with magic, whatever happens will naturally be handled by the adults present, and it's not their place to worry about it.

Unless it involves magic, Sakura doesn't want to get involved too much.

Otherwise, using magic in front of so many people would likely expose them.

Moreover, Sakura also had a vague feeling in her heart at this moment.

That means it's best not to step into this music room.

Although she didn't know where this feeling came from, Sakura felt that it might be related to that kid named Conan Edogawa.

After all, nothing good ever comes from running into him, and this time will probably be no different...

"Open the door!"

In the crowd, someone shouted, and Wang Changsheng thought it sounded like Uncle Mori's voice.

However, after he finished speaking, instead of opening the door, everyone present took a step back, and Uncle Mori, who had finally managed to squeeze into the middle of the crowd, was pushed out again.

Mouri Kogoro:......

He could no longer contain his temper. Hearing the commotion around him, he took a deep breath, then roared, "Quiet down! Anyone who's afraid to open the door, stand to the sides and back off!"

His shout startled those who wanted to check the piano room but were too afraid to open the door. They scattered to the side, making way for him.

Uncle Mori made it across without incident.

Xiao Lan followed closely behind.

Sonomi reminded them not to wander off and told Reigen Arataka to be careful before going inside as well.

We arrived at the entrance of the music room.

Uncle Mori was about to pull the door open.

However, it did not succeed.

"Well……"

With so many people watching, Uncle Mori had just finished throwing a tantrum, and now he was too embarrassed to ask anyone for help.

So I tugged at it again.

The gate remained unmoved.

"Uncle Mori, this door is a push door," Conan reminded him, looking speechless, as he stood beside him.

"Huh? Haha, of course I know! I was just checking the condition of the door. It's basic detective work, you know?" Uncle Mori shouted at Conan.

Conan: "..."

Basic operations my foot!

Upon hearing Uncle Mori's words, those who had been looking at him with slightly strange eyes widened their eyes and began to whisper among themselves.

"Is this a detective? What's a detective doing on our island? Is he investigating this matter?"

"I don't know, he looks unfamiliar, but he's definitely not from our island."

"If he's a detective, then it's nothing. No wonder I saw him pull the door twice without pushing it in. I've heard detectives are very meticulous, but I didn't expect him to be looking for clues on the door before even going in. That's really impressive!"

"Who do you think is playing the piano inside? I don't see anyone missing from our group."

"How come nothing's missing? Didn't you notice...?"

While the group was discussing amongst themselves, Uncle Mori had already pushed open the somewhat heavy door to the piano room.

Ran was closest to Uncle Mori, so the moment the door opened, she could see what was inside.

"ah!"
