The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case
22
Q
Q22
A
What luck. Yoko Okino’s in town tonight only, while famous detective Richard Moore is on some boat, going to some island in the middle of nowhere.
23
Q
Q23
A
And it’s all thanks to that irritating letter I received last week.
24
Q
Q24
A
The next night at the full moon, shadows will begin disappearing from Moonlight Island. Please investigate. Signed, Casper Austin.
25
Q25
Yes, Moore Detective Agency.
26
Q26
Two more days till the full moon.
27
Q27
Huh?
28
Q28
Your $five thousand fee has already been deposited in your account. Good luck.
29
Q29
Hey, wait a minute. Who is this?
30
Q30
Casper Austin, of Moonlight Island.
31
Q31
Ah! No, wait! Hold on! Hello? Hello?!
32
Q32
I hate difficult clients.
33
Q33
Oh, Dad. I'm excited about going to this island so we can relax. Aren't you, Conan?
34
Q34
Mm-hmm.
35
Q35
Uh...
36
Q36
Austin... Casper... I can't find anyone by that name on my list here.
37
Q37
Then check your records again. I know he's here. How could I get a letter from him if he doesn't exist?
38
Q38
I don't know, sir. He's not on the residents list. I'm new on the island, so maybe he just wants to stay anonymous.
39
Q39
Is there a problem here?
40
Q40
Sort of. This gentleman claims a resident on the island hired him, but we can't find his name on the list.
41
Q41
Really?
42
Q42
Yes. Apparently by a man named Casper Austin.
43
Q43
What? Did you say Casper Austin?
44
Q44
That can't be true. Casper Austin couldn't have contacted him. It's impossible. He's been dead years.
45
Q45
Casper Austin was a famous concert pianist that lived on this island.
46
Q46
He was an amazing talent whose fingers could create the most angelic-sounding music.
47
Q47
About twelve years ago on a night with a full moon, he played his last concert.
48
Q48
It had been a while since he'd been on the island due to touring, so this performance was quite special.
49
Q49
After the show, without any warning, he locked his family inside of his house and set it on fire.
50
Q50
He stabbed his wife and daughter with a kitchen knife.
51
Q51
It's said that he then played the piano with walls of flame surrounding him until he succumbed to the smoke,
52
Q52
as if some terrible power had taken over him.
53
Q53
He died that night, playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
54
Q54
Hmm. A letter from a dead person. That's what I call a practical joke.
55
Q55
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Your investigation fee was already deposited in your account. And postmark on the letter is from this island.
56
Q56
I bet there's somebody on this island that wants you to do an investigation on Casper Austin instead of for Casper Austin.
57
Q57
That's right. We could question the mayor about who Casper's closest friends and fans were before he died.
58
Q58
Then maybe we could find some clues.
59
Q59
That's enough, Rachel. Didn't someone tell us the mayor would be at the community hall today?
60
Q60
Okay, Billy, remember now. Keep warm and drink plenty of liquids.
61
Q61
I will. Bye-bye.
62
Q62
Goodbye.
63
Q63
Uh, excuse me. Could you point us towards the community hall?
64
Q64
Yes. Take a left at this corner here, then follow that and it's on your right.
65
Q65
I don't suppose you're all from the city?
66
Q66
Yes. We just arrived by boat.
67
Q67
Really? I used to live in the city myself a few years back. I loved it there.
68
Q68
But this island does have its advantages. The air is clean and crisp and it's always so tranquil and warm.
69
Q69
He's the man with the plan. Protect the fishermen.
70
Q70
That's Mr. Schumacher for bad boys.
71
Q71
Well, strike that. Maybe not so quiet with the election coming up.
72
Q72
Oh, an election, huh?
73
Q73
The candidates are Mr. Schumacher, who represents the fishermen and is from the town of Schumacher,
74
Q74
the current mayor, Mr. Kinsella, whose popularity has waned,
75
Q75
and Mr. Cavanaugh, the island's wealthiest man.
76
Q76
According to some of my patients, Mr. Cavanaugh has a small...
77
Q77
I'm sorry to interrupt, nurse, but we're not interested in this island's politics.
78
Q78
Well, I am sorry, too, sir. I'm not a nurse, Dr. Nadia Adams.
79
Q79
Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
80
Q80
You know, if you're going down to the community hall, you'll be able to meet all three of the candidates.
81
Q81
Oh?
82
Q82
They're holding a memorial service tonight for the former mayor, Mr. Kirkpatrick, who died two years ago.
83
Q83
He died in office?
84
Q84
A memorial.
85
Q85
Our water is too dirty for the fish to dry!
86
Q86
Talk about opportunistic.
87
Q87
We're trying to hold a memorial service, and they have the nerve to hold a protest!
88
Q88
Ignore them. They're just a bunch of pests making noise.
89
Q89
Hadley! What are you doing standing there? Do something to make those people shut up!
90
Q90
Uh, yes. Sorry, Miss Kinsella.
91
Q91
Hey, what's going on in here?
92
Q92
What is it, Stephen?
93
Q93
The election word on the street is your numbers are slipping fast and you don't stand a chance.
94
Q94
I heard the same thing. In fact, last time I checked, I had a % lead on every candidate.
95
Q95
We all know that's because you know how to throw your money around.
96
Q96
I learned it all from you, Theodore.
97
Q97
Uh, Mr. Kinsella, there's someone from the city here to see you.
98
Q98
Oh, great. Who is it?
99
Q99
He wouldn't tell me his name, but he is a detective.
100
Q100
What? A detective here?
101
Q101
For crying out loud. How long are they going to make us wait?
102
Q102
Dad, have you seen Conan?
103
Q103
Uh, a piano.
104
Q104
Hey, Conan, what are you doing?
105
Q105
Well, what's going on in here?
106
Q106
Nice. Great view of the water from here.
107
Q107
This piano is filthy.
108
Q108
Why don't they just clean it up a bit?
109
Q109
Stop! Don't touch that!
110
Q110
That's the piano.
111
Q111
Casper Austin played his last concert on that the night he killed his family.
112
Q112
That wretched thing is cursed!
113
Q113
You're kidding, right? How can a piano be cursed?
114
Q114
Mr. Austin wasn't the only one, though. Our last mayor died in very much the same way.
115
Q115
Which is the Mr. Kirkpatrick you're having the memorial service for today?
116
Q116
Yes. It all happened two years ago today.
117
Q117
There was a full moon that night. I was walking home when I happened to pass by and hear the sound of a piano coming from what I thought was an empty community hall.
118
Q118
I called out, asking if there was anyone inside, and then, suddenly, the music stopped.
119
Q119
I walked into the room and found Mayor Kirkpatrick dead.
120
Q120
The cause of death was listed as heart failure, but what is really haunting is the song he died playing.
121
Q121
The same song Mr. Austin continued playing as the flames engulfed him.
122
Q122
The Moonlight Sonata.
123
Q123
Ever since that horrible day, this has been dubbed the Cursed Piano, and no one has touched it.
124
Q124
Conan! I don't see what the problem is. It works fine.
125
Q125
Now, if you don't mind, please wait in the lobby until the service is over.
126
Q126
Hey! What are you guys still doing here?
127
Q127
Looking around. You here for the service?
128
Q128
Yes. My first patient on the island was Mr. Kirkpatrick, so I thought I'd pay my respects. He would probably do the same for me.
129
Q129
Oh, this is Mr. Schumacher. I met him on the way inside.
130
Q130
Matthew Schumacher. It is a pleasure to meet you.
131
Q131
Hey, Kavanaugh. You hired that detective from the city to do some checking on me, didn't you?
132
Q132
Don't be stupid.
133
Q133
Yeah, run away.
134
Q134
Excuse me.
135
Q135
It's strange. According to what Mr. Hadley said, that piano hasn't been used in several years.
136
Q136
Yet when I played it earlier, the sounds it produced were quite accurate.
137
Q137
Someone must be secretly tuning that piano.
138
Q138
Otherwise, it would have sounded much worse. And how does the letter Richard got play into this?
139
Q139
Oh no. It's that song.
140
Q140
Moonlight Sonata.
141
Q141
Conan!
142
Q142
Hey kid, don't go in there!
143
Q143
Mr. Kavanaugh.
144
Q144
We were too late.
145
Q145
He's dead.
146
Q146
What? He's dead?
147
Q147
Rachel, find a phone and call the police over now.
148
Q148
Right.
149
Q149
Dr. Adams, would you mind examining the body?
150
Q150
No, not at all.
151
Q151
I see the point of the letter now.
152
Q152
It was predicting that someone would be killed on Moonlight Island on the night of a full moon.
153
Q153
Why didn't I see it before?
154
Q154
It's the curse.
155
Q155
The curse is back. That piano is haunted.
156
Q156
Yeah, and what curse is that?
157
Q157
It's not the piano. It's a tape deck playing the music.
158
Q158
Kavanaugh's death appears to be exactly like the previous two.
159
Q159
I call that premeditated murder.
160
Q160
Murder?
161
Q161
Hold up. Don't start making accusations here.
162
Q162
Besides, who are you anyway?
163
Q163
I'm that famous detective from the city you heard about.
164
Q164
The name's Richard Moore.
165
Q165
Oh yeah, you're the astronaut, right?
166
Q166
No, no. You're thinking of the guy who writes the mystery books.
167
Q167
No, that's Robert Moore.
168
Q168
Then who's this guy supposed to be?
169
Q169
Seawater.
170
Q170
I estimate time of death is minutes to one hour ago.
171
Q171
Cause of death seems like suffocation.
172
Q172
Although, the more I examine the body, the more it looks like a drowning.
173
Q173
So then he drowned. Great.
174
Q174
Though I can't be sure until an autopsy is done.
175
Q175
I think Dr. Adams is right in her assumptions.
176
Q176
See, there's a suit jacket floating in the water.
177
Q177
It probably belongs to Mr. Kavanaugh.
178
Q178
There's evidence that he was dragged from this door that leads to the ocean over to the piano where he is now.
179
Q179
There's also a visible amount of sand on his back.
180
Q180
This door as well as all the other doors and windows in the room were locked.
181
Q181
And the first few seconds recorded on this tape are just silence.
182
Q182
So, Conan, when'd you find all this out?
183
Q183
The murderer probably led Mr. Kavanaugh outside, incapacitated him and then drowned him.
184
Q184
Then he dragged the body into this room, locked the door and turned on the tape recorder before he went back into the hallway.
185
Q185
Right, Mr. Moore?
186
Q186
Uh, yeah, that's correct, Conan.
187
Q187
The situation now shows us that the door to this room was locked.
188
Q188
Since we were at the building's entrance the entire time, chances are good that our killer went back to the service after the crime.
189
Q189
Hold on a minute there. Are you saying that murderer is still here?
190
Q190
He's still here?
191
Q191
Yes, more than likely the murderer is still here.
192
Q192
Did anyone here see Mr. Kavanaugh leave his seat at any time during the service?
193
Q193
Yeah, I sure did see him leave. He said he was gonna use the restroom.
194
Q194
And did anyone see any other person leave his or her seat?
195
Q195
How can you expect someone to remember all these little details?
196
Q196
Okay, do you know of anyone that didn't get along with Mr. Kavanaugh? Anyone at all?
197
Q197
I wouldn't call it a grudge, but the only one who can benefit from this death is Schumacher.
198
Q198
He's running against Kavanaugh in the upcoming election for my office.
199
Q199
What are you talking about? That would make you just as much of a suspect as me.
200
Q200
He's right. It could mean a sure win for my father in the election.
201
Q201
Assuming that someone hasn't already tried to rig the votes for the longevity of his own pathetic campaign.
202
Q202
What?
203
Q203
Please, Miss Kinsella.
204
Q204
All right, let's calm down.
205
Q205
There's one thing I still don't get. Why'd the killer bring the body here?
206
Q206
The killer took full advantage of the people's superstitions by placing blame on the piano's supposed curse.
207
Q207
By the way, how long has this piano been here?
208
Q208
Well, it's been here since Mr. Austin donated it, and that was before me. I'd say about years.
209
Q209
Oh. It was Casper Austin's piano.
210
Q210
Yes. His name is engraved there on the keyboard's cover.
211
Q211
Hmm. What have we here?
212
Q212
It's sheet music. That's interesting. I'm sure this wasn't here earlier this afternoon.
213
Q213
So who's the drama queen?
214
Q214
That's Ken Nicholson. He was a very affluent figure on the island, and independently wealthy.
215
Q215
Known for indulging in wine, women, and gambling.
216
Q216
But after the death of the former mayor, it's as if he's afraid of something and never leaves his house.
217
Q217
Just sits at home by himself.
218
Q218
Hmm.
219
Q219
If I'm not mistaken, you were childhood friends with him, weren't you, Mr. Kinsella?
220
Q220
Oh, yeah. We go way back.
221
Q221
I got the police.
222
Q222
What took so long?
223
Q223
Well, he wasn't at the police station. I had to go out and find him.
224
Q224
So then, who was it that sent for me?
225
Q225
He sent for you. Mr. Richard Moore is a...
226
Q226
Oh, yeah. You're that famous...
227
Q227
Yes?
228
Q228
Space shuttle astronaut.
229
Q229
You got the wrong guy.
230
Q230
Okay, it's getting pretty late. Why don't we start the questionings in the morning?
231
Q231
What was all that talk of murder? Everyone knows it's Austin's curse.
232
Q232
I don't understand it either.
233
Q233
Why don't they just cut to the chase and burn that wretched piano?
234
Q234
Yeah, you're right. Maybe it would be better if a haunted piano like that were disposed of.
235
Q235
Steven.
236
Q236
I was very impressed by Conan's intelligent assumptions back there.
237
Q237
Yeah, well, he likes to play detective sometimes.
238
Q238
But everyone was saying how persuasive he was, as if he's a professional.
239
Q239
Oh, no. I'm just imitating Richard, that's all. I always watch him while he's solving cases.
240
Q240
Compared to me, though, Conan here is obviously just a child.
241
Q241
Well, then, I guess we'll be heading to our motel now.
242
Q242
Good night, then. Oh, I hope you solve this case soon, Detective Moore.
243
Q243
I'd rather not examine any more homicide victims.
244
Q244
No sweat. With a case in my hands, it'll be wrapped up in no time.
245
Q245
I doubt it. This case is filled with things that even I don't quite understand.
246
Q246
Wait a minute. The letter said, begin to disappear. That means... this isn't the end.
247
Q247
What? You're saying the murderer plans to strike again?
248
Q248
And you're positive that this letter predicts more killings?
249
Q249
The letter said, shadows will disappear. That implies light.
250
Q250
So the light must be the Moonlight Sonata we heard on the tape at the murder scene.
251
Q251
I see now. So twelve years ago, the song Casper Austin was playing as his house was in flames.
252
Q252
And again, two years ago, the same song is heard before finding the body of the last mayor of Moonlight.
253
Q253
And all three deaths involve a piano.
254
Q254
You two, go back to the motel.
255
Q255
No, Dad, wait!
256
Q256
You know, we should probably follow him. He's gonna need our help.
257
Q257
I can't believe you're serious about doing this. Spending the night next to a corpse with a child? Sounds crazy to me.
258
Q258
I thought I told you two to go back to the motel.
259
Q259
But Conan wanted to...
260
Q260
Hey, officer, who moved this body without getting my permission first?
261
Q261
It was me. I felt sorry for that poor man being left in such an unnatural position against that piano.
262
Q262
Yeah, that's a problem. See, forensics hasn't been here yet.
263
Q263
Hey, that sheet music we found earlier has disappeared.
264
Q264
What? Oh, that, yes, I have it. I didn't want it to get lost.
265
Q265
Great, good work.
266
Q266
It's sheet music from Moonlight Sonata.
267
Q267
What?
268
Q268
Moonlight Sonata?
269
Q269
You're ruining that beautiful song!
270
Q270
It's not me. There's an error on the fourth line of this page.
271
Q271
Fourth line?
272
Q272
Is it possible this sheet music is Mr. Cavanaugh's dying message?
273
Q273
If that's so, then the murderer may try to retrieve it.
274
Q274
Hello?
275
Q275
The front desk clerk at the motel told me you were staying here tonight.
276
Q276
Dr. Adams.
277
Q277
I thought you might like some midnight snacks.
278
Q278
Oh, that's exactly what I need.
279
Q279
I am starving.
280
Q280
So, Dr. Adams, when we met before, you said you weren't originally from this island, right?
281
Q281
Yes, I'm from the city and I go back there every weekend.
282
Q282
I guess you could call me a part-time resident here.
283
Q283
I've always wanted to work on an island like this, surrounded by nature.
284
Q284
Plus, I really love that small-town attitude.
285
Q285
I've been here just over two years.
286
Q286
So, Dr. Adams, Mr. Kirkpatrick, the former mayor of Moonlight who the service was for tonight,
287
Q287
did he really die of heart failure?
288
Q288
Yes. He had a history of heart trouble in his family,
289
Q289
but the expression on his face when he died was twisted as if he'd seen something frightening.
290
Q290
Do you remember noticing anything different about the room then?
291
Q291
Let's see.
292
Q292
Come to think of it...
293
Q293
What is it?
294
Q294
I want to say there was a window open.
295
Q295
A window?
296
Q296
I remember that being mentioned.
297
Q297
They just assumed that a custodian had forgotten to close it.
298
Q298
Which window was it?
299
Q299
That's easy.
300
Q300
It was this window here.
301
Q301
Watch out!
302
Q302
Hold it!
303
Q303
Stop!
304
Q304
Ah, Ratt. We lost him.
305
Q305
He did exactly what I thought he'd do.
306
Q306
He came back to get the sheet music.
307
Q307
Okay, here's the plan. We're staying up all night guarding the place.
308
Q308
All right.
309
Q309
Hey, Moore!
310
Q310
Moore! You awake? It's already afternoon.
311
Q311
Inspector McGuire, what are you doing here?
312
Q312
Technically, this island is considered to be in my jurisdiction.
313
Q313
Should've known.
314
Q314
If you're looking for the sheet music, I got it from Conan.
315
Q315
I've already been filled in on all the details.
316
Q316
Yeah, all three of them were awake when I got here.
317
Q317
The only two who were still sleeping were you and Grandpa over there.
318
Q318
We're starting the investigation down at City Hall.
319
Q319
Get cleaned up. We're gonna need you.
320
Q320
I think we'd be better off if we'd just stayed up all night.
321
Q321
Hey, Dad. What's up?
322
Q322
Did you find the killer yet?
323
Q323
Would we still be here if we had?
324
Q324
I mean, there were people at that service last night, and they're all suspects.
325
Q325
So it won't be that easy.
326
Q326
So, when is it my turn to be questioned?
327
Q327
Look, I know you're tired, Doctor, but unfortunately, you're last on our list.
328
Q328
I guess I'll go freshen up a bit. See you soon.
329
Q329
Detective, do you know how many people haven't been questioned yet today?
330
Q330
Well, if you include Dr. Adams,
331
Q331
we've got Mayor Kinsella's daughter, Renee Kinsella,
332
Q332
who's over there with her fiancé, Stephen Mulholland,
333
Q333
Matthew Schumacher, who's running for mayor,
334
Q334
and Mr. Kinsella's assistant, Kevin Hadley.
335
Q335
Ken Nicholson is being questioned now.
336
Q336
So that makes six people, but this Nicholson guy is taking a while.
337
Q337
No matter what we ask him, he remains silent.
338
Q338
My gut tells me that he's our murderer.
339
Q339
Kevin! Are you still talking about that cursed piano?
340
Q340
The more you keep these rumors alive, the better the chances it will happen.
341
Q341
But Mr. Kinsella, I wasn't...
342
Q342
Just get rid of it, or it's your job.
343
Q343
Yes, sir.
344
Q344
Hire a guy as a favor for your brother. It's a thing you get to do.
345
Q345
How dare you accuse me of that!
346
Q346
Why would I want to kill Mr. Kavanaugh? You have nothing on me!
347
Q347
Renee is really getting hysterical.
348
Q348
She's been screaming for the past ten minutes.
349
Q349
Now that's funny. He's already finished his questioning,
350
Q350
yet Mr. Nicholson hasn't gone home yet.
351
Q351
Is he waiting around for someone?
352
Q352
Rachel, I've got to go to the bathroom.
353
Q353
Uh, didn't Mr. Nicholson just come in here a second ago?
354
Q354
Not in here.
355
Q355
Oh, great. He took the stairs.
356
Q356
Oh, no.
357
Q357
It's Moonlight Sonata, second movement.
358
Q358
Where's that music coming from?
359
Q359
The PA room?
360
Q360
Mr. Nicholson!
361
Q361
Too late again.
362
Q362
No!
363
Q363
Wait, ma'am. You can't go in there.
364
Q364
Get the lab boys in here right away!
365
Q365
Sorry, Inspector. Forensics already went to the city to perform Kavanaugh's autopsy.
366
Q366
What? They didn't leave anyone here?
367
Q367
What about me?
368
Q368
I'll volunteer my services.
369
Q369
Dr. Adams?
370
Q370
Well, at least we've narrowed down our list of suspects to a select few.
371
Q371
The killer must still be here.
372
Q372
We had all the exits sealed off with armed security.
373
Q373
That's two unsolved deaths too many.
374
Q374
Who could it be?
375
Q375
Who is the murderer?
