Chapter 350, Movement 3: Burning Everything
Chapter 352, Third Movement: Burn Everything
"Strange, so much time has passed, why hasn't Dr. Asai returned yet?"
Outside a ward at the clinic, Ran took out almost all the food from Asai Narumi's office.
She also thoughtfully shared some with the two handsome young detectives.
The three of them sat outside the ward, replenishing their energy while waiting for Asai Narumi to return and check on Nishimoto Ken's condition.
Then you can take people back.
They waited there for quite a while, probably more than twenty minutes or even half an hour, but they still didn't see Asai Narumi.
"Dr. Asai said her house is right next door?" Ran asked, taking a bite of a cookie, somewhat puzzled.
The other young detective didn't seem to think anything of it. He chuckled and said, "Girls, don't they all take a long time to shower? My girlfriend does too."
"Haha, looks like you have a lot of experience!" Another colleague of the detective patted him on the shoulder.
"No, not really~" the young detective smiled shyly. "Dr. Asai isn't a suspect anyway. She told Mr. Nishimoto to rest for half an hour before she left, but judging from the time, she should be back soon."
After hearing what they said, Xiaolan thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
She herself usually spends a lot of time taking a shower.
Not to mention Dr. Asai, who cooperated with the detectives to perform an autopsy in order to help the police solve the case quickly, and hadn't showered for two days, so it's normal for him to want to take a longer shower.
"Ugh~ I want to take a nice bath too." Xiaolan pouted and took another big bite of the cookie.
Just as they were preparing to wait a little longer.
Suddenly, the nurse who was on night shift walked over from the front desk.
"Hello, there's a call from the police station. It's an officer named Inspector Megure looking for you. It seems to be urgent. Would any of you be able to answer it quickly?"
"What? Is it urgent?" The two detectives frowned upon hearing this, and the younger-looking one immediately stood up.
"Thanks for reminding me, I'll go take a look." The young detective started walking and ran towards the front desk of the clinic.
The other detective had just sat down when, less than a minute later, the detective who had gone to answer the phone rushed back in a panic.
"What's wrong? What happened? Does Inspector Megure have any new instructions?"
The policeman who had just sat down stood up again.
"Something's wrong! We need to go check on Ken Nishimoto!"
Before the young detective even ran over, the sound reached Xiaolan and another police officer's ears.
"Inspector Megure has discovered a very important clue: the culprit in these cases is very likely Dr. Asai! Ken Nishimoto is also one of her targets!"
A) What?!
These words left both of them stunned.
However, having trained alongside Inspector Megure and seen many big scenes, the detective next to Ran quickly reacted and rushed into the ward with his colleague.
Only Xiaolan remained motionless, seemingly dazed, as if she had never imagined that the real culprit behind these cases was Asai Narumi, who had been chatting and laughing with her not long ago.
"Chirp chirp"
Suddenly.
A small sparrow flew in from somewhere and landed on Xiaolan's shoulder.
"It's the little sparrow from earlier—" Xiaolan snapped out of her daze, not even bothering to notice why the sparrow had suddenly flown back and landed on her shoulder, and hurriedly walked into the ward.
"Ken Nishimoto! Ken Nishimoto! How are you?!"
The young detective approached the hospital bed and was about to shake the other person when he was stopped by a detective a few years older than him.
He reached out and felt for Nishimoto Ken's pulse, then checked his breathing.
"It's no use, the person is already dead." He frowned deeply.
"Damn it! How could this happen!" The young detective punched the wall in frustration.
"What's this?" Xiaolan asked as soon as she came in, noticing some things placed to the side.
There was a sheet of music, a blood-stained handkerchief, a syringe, and a rag that looked like it had been torn from clothing.
"These things—" The young detective's expression changed.
"Chirp chirp"
The sparrow perched on Xiaolan's shoulder looked at the dead Nishimoto Ken, and then at the pile of junk lying to the side.
I've figured it out.
Clearly, those things should represent each of the deceased.
For example, that piece of cloth that seemed to have been cut from clothing.
Wang Changsheng overheard Conan muttering to himself about this.
Hideo Kawashima's clothes, which were floating on the sea, were missing a piece.
At the time, Conan hadn't figured out why part of the clothes was missing, but now he does.
That blood-stained handkerchief undoubtedly represents Kuroiwa Tatsuji.
After all, of the three, he was the only one who was stabbed to death.
He was the only one who bled.
From this perspective...
The syringe naturally represents the cold corpse lying on the cold hospital bed—Nishimoto Ken.
The sparrow shook its head in a rather human-like manner.
These items, representing each of the deceased, were left here by Asai Narumi.
It was obvious that he had long been determined to die and had no intention of getting away with it from the police.
The two agents he invited failed to stop him from eradicating the darkness and evil from the island.
Therefore, when he actually took action against Hideo Kawashima, he had no choice but to leave this world.
Xiaolan picked up the sheet music at that moment.
Thanks to Conan's decoding, she can now understand the musical scores left by Asai Narumi.
"My hands are stained with blood, I bow down to welcome evil."
"Looking up, one sees no heaven; looking down, one sees hell."
"In that case, let me be plunged into the abyss forever in this raging fire."
Xiao Lan murmured.
"Amidst the raging flames—"
Suddenly, she realized something and immediately rushed out of the ward.
The sparrow on her shoulder did not follow, but simply fluttered its wings and landed on the windowsill.
"Still so bookish————"
"However, it's yet another power bank brimming with sin—no, a soul."
Through the sparrow's eyes, Wang Changsheng saw a resentful spirit right beside the hospital bed, glaring at the detective closest to him, practically pressed against him.
However, the detective seemed oblivious, merely rubbing his arms lightly a couple of times, saying, "It suddenly feels much colder."
"What do we do now?"
"What else can we do? We need to report this to Inspector Megure immediately."
One of the two detectives stayed behind, while the other rushed out with Xiaolan.
The sparrow chirped twice more.
But nobody paid any attention to it.
"Huh? It's not so cold anymore, that's strange." The policeman who was left behind suddenly felt the chill that had hit him vanish in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
at the same time.
Xiaolan had already arrived next to the nurse at the clinic's front desk.
She asked somewhat anxiously, "What's Dr. Asai's phone number? Do you have it written down?"
"Huh? Dr. Asai? Yes, I do." The nurse had been trying to take a nap, but Ran's sudden rush over startled her.
However, seeing the other person's anxious expression, she realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly.
"The office landline can directly call Dr. Asai's home phone."
She pressed the one-touch dial button.
Xiao Lan answered the call immediately.
But no one answered.
At that moment, the detective also arrived.
Just as I was about to use the front desk phone to call Inspector Megure back, the pager on the nurse's waist started ringing incessantly.
After handing the phone to the detective, she picked it up and glanced at it. However, after reading the message, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh no! The community center is on fire!"
The nurse, clutching the pager, glanced at the message and tilted her head in disbelief. "But someone's playing the piano inside? How is that possible?!"
"Fire? Piano playing?" Xiao Lan paused. "Oh no! Dr. Asai isn't going to commit suicide, is he?!"
As she finished speaking, the detective had already spoken to Inspector Megure on the phone.
"That should be it. Let's go to the community center quickly." He frowned, then turned to the nurse and instructed, "Nishimoto Ken, don't worry about it, and don't go to see anything. Just stay here and be careful!"
After saying that, the group hurriedly headed to the community center.
When everyone arrived here.
The community center has been completely and utterly burned down.
The fire was raging.
The fire was blazing.
Just by getting close, you can feel the sweltering heat.
Flames soared high into the sky.
It seemed to be about to soar into the sky.
It seems as if a melody is playing in the universe.
Conan, Uncle Mori, and the others all understood.
That's the "Third Movement, Third Movement—" from "Moonlight Sonata."
Conan muttered to himself, clutching a sheet of music in his hand, his face ashen and looking utterly dejected.
The piano music had reached its climax.
This is the score for the third movement.
Everyone present could feel the unrestrained and exuberant spirit flowing from the music!
That kind of intense and conflicting radicalism, that kind of grandeur tinged with a desolate emptiness and delusion.
The sound of the piano transformed into a powerful force that resonated deeply within people.
It impacts the hearts of everyone.
Amidst the intense music, they heard unspeakable pity and sorrow.
Yet, amidst the sorrow, there seemed to be a glimmer of longing for a new life.
"Boom—"
The fire destroyed the community center.
A loud bang was heard.
The piano sound stopped abruptly.
At that moment, it seemed that all the sins and filth of the past were reduced to ashes as the building burned.
The fire was blazing.
Someone went to notify the fire department to put out the fire.
But it was all too late.
The blazing flames illuminated the dark sky, making it almost translucent.
The community center has collapsed.
The island's fire prevention measures are inadequate.
There were no fire trucks either.
The fire could no longer be extinguished.
Only by letting it burn completely, until nothing is left, can it be truly destroyed.
Conan stared at the burning building before him, his eyes filled with a mixture of numbness and pain.
He now knows everything.
But what's the use of that?
It's too late.
He can't save people.
None of them were saved.
Conan won't do.
Even Shinichi Kudo wouldn't work.
Under the raging fire, he appeared so powerless and weak.
"hateful----"
In the public hall.
Sakura and Tomoyo did not run to the community center with Inspector Megure and the others.
The burning of the entire community center was impossible for them to ignore, especially late at night.
"Should we lend a hand?" Sakura didn't know there were other people inside the community center, but seeing the fire, she still wanted to help.
He reached into his pocket and found two playing cards between his fingers.
One is water.
One is rain.
"This island isn't too big or too small, but it probably doesn't have any particularly comprehensive fire-fighting equipment, so if we don't help, this fire will be very difficult to put out on its own," Tomoyo analyzed from the side.
The little wolf didn't say anything.
He simply gazed silently at Wang Changsheng.
His eyes held a hint of confusion.
Unlike Sakura and Tomoyo, he basically knows nothing.
He also heard and saw a lot while he was with Wang Changsheng.
These are some of the cases that have already occurred.
It seems that things are not as simple as they appear.
Little Wolf felt that Wang Changsheng must know something.
But at this moment, a fire broke out outside, and Wang Changsheng still had his eyes half-closed, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
Little Wolf couldn't be sure if there were any hidden secrets behind the fire.
Upon hearing the voices of the group, Wang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.
"You don't need to help." He shook his head.
"Huh? You don't need to? Why is that?" Sakura was taken aback.
She was even planning to use the Clow Cards.
However, Wang Changsheng said that he didn't need her help.
This made her feel somewhat justified.
"This flame is purifying a pure heart. The box has already been prepared, so you don't need to worry about it. Don't worry, nothing will happen," Wang Changsheng said slowly.
"Uh...no way...something won't happen?"
Sakura turned her head and glanced at the raging fire that had almost illuminated half of the winter sky.
Are you really sure?
Sakura hesitated for a moment.
However, trusting Wang Changsheng, she put the Clow Cards back into her pocket.
"It's burned to this crisp and you're still okay? What did you arrange? When did you arrange it?"
Xiao Ke flew to the window at this moment.
Their room faces the direction of the Gongkui Mansion.
Therefore, there was the light of fire.
They could see it fairly clearly.
"You don't need to worry about that. Can you even imagine the power of the box?" Wang Changsheng glanced at Xiao Ke, a smirk on his face.
[Message]: Negative points from Cerberus +1000
"Hey, you're just being unreasonable! Cold-hearted! Heartless! You're so cruel and heartless! You'd rather die than save me!" Xiao Ke shouted angrily.
"Hey, your vocabulary is quite extensive." Wang Changsheng was amused.
He chuckled twice, but seeing that Sakura and Tomoyo were still looking at him with some concern, he suppressed his smile, grabbed Sakura with one hand and Tomoyo with the other.
"Alright, really, there's no need to worry. This fire will bury all the darkness on this island. Let this moment of moonlight be eternal."
Wang Changsheng gently and tenderly comforted the two of them.
Only Xiao Lang and Lingpu Xinlong stood to the side, staring blankly as Wang Changsheng held the hands of his two little girls.
Little Wolf: Even a box needs comforting!
