The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case
A
23
Q
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.
A
24
Q
And it’s all thanks to that irritating letter I received last week.
A
25
The next night at the full moon, shadows will begin disappearing from Moonlight Island. Please investigate. Signed, Casper Austin.
26
Yes, Moore Detective Agency.
27
Two more days till the full moon.
28
Huh?
29
Your $five thousand fee has already been deposited in your account. Good luck.
30
Hey, wait a minute. Who is this?
31
Casper Austin, of Moonlight Island.
32
Ah! No, wait! Hold on! Hello? Hello?!
33
I hate difficult clients.
34
Oh, Dad. I'm excited about going to this island so we can relax. Aren't you, Conan?
35
Mm-hmm.
36
Uh...
37
Austin... Casper... I can't find anyone by that name on my list here.
38
Then check your records again. I know he's here. How could I get a letter from him if he doesn't exist?
39
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.
40
Is there a problem here?
41
Sort of. This gentleman claims a resident on the island hired him, but we can't find his name on the list.
42
Really?
43
Yes. Apparently by a man named Casper Austin.
44
What? Did you say Casper Austin?
45
That can't be true. Casper Austin couldn't have contacted him. It's impossible. He's been dead years.
46
Casper Austin was a famous concert pianist that lived on this island.
47
He was an amazing talent whose fingers could create the most angelic-sounding music.
48
About twelve years ago on a night with a full moon, he played his last concert.
49
It had been a while since he'd been on the island due to touring, so this performance was quite special.
50
After the show, without any warning, he locked his family inside of his house and set it on fire.
51
He stabbed his wife and daughter with a kitchen knife.
52
It's said that he then played the piano with walls of flame surrounding him until he succumbed to the smoke,
53
as if some terrible power had taken over him.
54
He died that night, playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
55
Hmm. A letter from a dead person. That's what I call a practical joke.
56
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.
57
I bet there's somebody on this island that wants you to do an investigation on Casper Austin instead of for Casper Austin.
58
That's right. We could question the mayor about who Casper's closest friends and fans were before he died.
59
Then maybe we could find some clues.
60
That's enough, Rachel. Didn't someone tell us the mayor would be at the community hall today?
61
Okay, Billy, remember now. Keep warm and drink plenty of liquids.
62
I will. Bye-bye.
63
Goodbye.
64
Uh, excuse me. Could you point us towards the community hall?
65
Yes. Take a left at this corner here, then follow that and it's on your right.
66
I don't suppose you're all from the city?
67
Yes. We just arrived by boat.
68
Really? I used to live in the city myself a few years back. I loved it there.
69
But this island does have its advantages. The air is clean and crisp and it's always so tranquil and warm.
70
He's the man with the plan. Protect the fishermen.
71
That's Mr. Schumacher for bad boys.
72
Well, strike that. Maybe not so quiet with the election coming up.
73
Oh, an election, huh?
74
The candidates are Mr. Schumacher, who represents the fishermen and is from the town of Schumacher,
75
the current mayor, Mr. Kinsella, whose popularity has waned,
76
and Mr. Cavanaugh, the island's wealthiest man.
77
According to some of my patients, Mr. Cavanaugh has a small...
78
I'm sorry to interrupt, nurse, but we're not interested in this island's politics.
79
Well, I am sorry, too, sir. I'm not a nurse, Dr. Nadia Adams.
80
Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
81
You know, if you're going down to the community hall, you'll be able to meet all three of the candidates.
82
Oh?
83
They're holding a memorial service tonight for the former mayor, Mr. Kirkpatrick, who died two years ago.
84
He died in office?
85
A memorial.
86
Our water is too dirty for the fish to dry!
87
Talk about opportunistic.
88
We're trying to hold a memorial service, and they have the nerve to hold a protest!
89
Ignore them. They're just a bunch of pests making noise.
90
Hadley! What are you doing standing there? Do something to make those people shut up!
91
Uh, yes. Sorry, Miss Kinsella.
92
Hey, what's going on in here?
93
What is it, Stephen?
94
The election word on the street is your numbers are slipping fast and you don't stand a chance.
95
I heard the same thing. In fact, last time I checked, I had a % lead on every candidate.
96
We all know that's because you know how to throw your money around.
97
I learned it all from you, Theodore.
98
Uh, Mr. Kinsella, there's someone from the city here to see you.
99
Oh, great. Who is it?
100
He wouldn't tell me his name, but he is a detective.
101
What? A detective here?
102
For crying out loud. How long are they going to make us wait?
103
Dad, have you seen Conan?
104
Uh, a piano.
105
Hey, Conan, what are you doing?
106
Well, what's going on in here?
107
Nice. Great view of the water from here.
108
This piano is filthy.
109
Why don't they just clean it up a bit?
110
Stop! Don't touch that!
111
That's the piano.
112
Casper Austin played his last concert on that the night he killed his family.
113
That wretched thing is cursed!
114
You're kidding, right? How can a piano be cursed?
115
Mr. Austin wasn't the only one, though. Our last mayor died in very much the same way.
116
Which is the Mr. Kirkpatrick you're having the memorial service for today?
117
Yes. It all happened two years ago today.
118
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.
119
I called out, asking if there was anyone inside, and then, suddenly, the music stopped.
120
I walked into the room and found Mayor Kirkpatrick dead.
121
The cause of death was listed as heart failure, but what is really haunting is the song he died playing.
122
The same song Mr. Austin continued playing as the flames engulfed him.
123
The Moonlight Sonata.
124
Ever since that horrible day, this has been dubbed the Cursed Piano, and no one has touched it.
125
Conan! I don't see what the problem is. It works fine.
126
Now, if you don't mind, please wait in the lobby until the service is over.
127
Hey! What are you guys still doing here?
128
Looking around. You here for the service?
129
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.
130
Oh, this is Mr. Schumacher. I met him on the way inside.
131
Matthew Schumacher. It is a pleasure to meet you.
132
Hey, Kavanaugh. You hired that detective from the city to do some checking on me, didn't you?
133
Don't be stupid.
134
Yeah, run away.
135
Excuse me.
136
It's strange. According to what Mr. Hadley said, that piano hasn't been used in several years.
137
Yet when I played it earlier, the sounds it produced were quite accurate.
138
Someone must be secretly tuning that piano.
139
Otherwise, it would have sounded much worse. And how does the letter Richard got play into this?
140
Oh no. It's that song.
141
Moonlight Sonata.
142
Conan!
143
Hey kid, don't go in there!
144
Mr. Kavanaugh.
145
We were too late.
146
He's dead.
147
What? He's dead?
148
Rachel, find a phone and call the police over now.
149
Right.
150
Dr. Adams, would you mind examining the body?
151
No, not at all.
152
I see the point of the letter now.
153
It was predicting that someone would be killed on Moonlight Island on the night of a full moon.
154
Why didn't I see it before?
155
It's the curse.
156
The curse is back. That piano is haunted.
157
Yeah, and what curse is that?
158
It's not the piano. It's a tape deck playing the music.
159
Kavanaugh's death appears to be exactly like the previous two.
160
I call that premeditated murder.
161
Murder?
162
Hold up. Don't start making accusations here.
163
Besides, who are you anyway?
164
I'm that famous detective from the city you heard about.
165
The name's Richard Moore.
166
Oh yeah, you're the astronaut, right?
167
No, no. You're thinking of the guy who writes the mystery books.
168
No, that's Robert Moore.
169
Then who's this guy supposed to be?
170
Seawater.
171
I estimate time of death is minutes to one hour ago.
172
Cause of death seems like suffocation.
173
Although, the more I examine the body, the more it looks like a drowning.
174
So then he drowned. Great.
175
Though I can't be sure until an autopsy is done.
176
I think Dr. Adams is right in her assumptions.
177
See, there's a suit jacket floating in the water.
178
It probably belongs to Mr. Kavanaugh.
179
There's evidence that he was dragged from this door that leads to the ocean over to the piano where he is now.
180
There's also a visible amount of sand on his back.
181
This door as well as all the other doors and windows in the room were locked.
182
And the first few seconds recorded on this tape are just silence.
183
So, Conan, when'd you find all this out?
184
The murderer probably led Mr. Kavanaugh outside, incapacitated him and then drowned him.
185
Then he dragged the body into this room, locked the door and turned on the tape recorder before he went back into the hallway.
186
Right, Mr. Moore?
187
Uh, yeah, that's correct, Conan.
188
The situation now shows us that the door to this room was locked.
189
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.
190
Hold on a minute there. Are you saying that murderer is still here?
191
He's still here?
192
Yes, more than likely the murderer is still here.
193
Did anyone here see Mr. Kavanaugh leave his seat at any time during the service?
194
Yeah, I sure did see him leave. He said he was gonna use the restroom.
195
And did anyone see any other person leave his or her seat?
196
How can you expect someone to remember all these little details?
197
Okay, do you know of anyone that didn't get along with Mr. Kavanaugh? Anyone at all?
198
I wouldn't call it a grudge, but the only one who can benefit from this death is Schumacher.
199
He's running against Kavanaugh in the upcoming election for my office.
200
What are you talking about? That would make you just as much of a suspect as me.
201
He's right. It could mean a sure win for my father in the election.
202
Assuming that someone hasn't already tried to rig the votes for the longevity of his own pathetic campaign.
203
What?
204
Please, Miss Kinsella.
205
All right, let's calm down.
206
There's one thing I still don't get. Why'd the killer bring the body here?
207
The killer took full advantage of the people's superstitions by placing blame on the piano's supposed curse.
208
By the way, how long has this piano been here?
209
Well, it's been here since Mr. Austin donated it, and that was before me. I'd say about years.
210
Oh. It was Casper Austin's piano.
211
Yes. His name is engraved there on the keyboard's cover.
212
Hmm. What have we here?
213
It's sheet music. That's interesting. I'm sure this wasn't here earlier this afternoon.
214
So who's the drama queen?
215
That's Ken Nicholson. He was a very affluent figure on the island, and independently wealthy.
216
Known for indulging in wine, women, and gambling.
217
But after the death of the former mayor, it's as if he's afraid of something and never leaves his house.
218
Just sits at home by himself.
219
Hmm.
220
If I'm not mistaken, you were childhood friends with him, weren't you, Mr. Kinsella?
221
Oh, yeah. We go way back.
222
I got the police.
223
What took so long?
224
Well, he wasn't at the police station. I had to go out and find him.
225
So then, who was it that sent for me?
226
He sent for you. Mr. Richard Moore is a...
227
Oh, yeah. You're that famous...
228
Yes?
229
Space shuttle astronaut.
230
You got the wrong guy.
231
Okay, it's getting pretty late. Why don't we start the questionings in the morning?
232
What was all that talk of murder? Everyone knows it's Austin's curse.
233
I don't understand it either.
234
Why don't they just cut to the chase and burn that wretched piano?
235
Yeah, you're right. Maybe it would be better if a haunted piano like that were disposed of.
236
Steven.
237
I was very impressed by Conan's intelligent assumptions back there.
238
Yeah, well, he likes to play detective sometimes.
239
But everyone was saying how persuasive he was, as if he's a professional.
240
Oh, no. I'm just imitating Richard, that's all. I always watch him while he's solving cases.
241
Compared to me, though, Conan here is obviously just a child.
242
Well, then, I guess we'll be heading to our motel now.
243
Good night, then. Oh, I hope you solve this case soon, Detective Moore.
244
I'd rather not examine any more homicide victims.
245
No sweat. With a case in my hands, it'll be wrapped up in no time.
246
I doubt it. This case is filled with things that even I don't quite understand.
247
Wait a minute. The letter said, begin to disappear. That means... this isn't the end.
248
What? You're saying the murderer plans to strike again?
249
And you're positive that this letter predicts more killings?
250
The letter said, shadows will disappear. That implies light.
251
So the light must be the Moonlight Sonata we heard on the tape at the murder scene.
252
I see now. So twelve years ago, the song Casper Austin was playing as his house was in flames.
253
And again, two years ago, the same song is heard before finding the body of the last mayor of Moonlight.
254
And all three deaths involve a piano.
255
You two, go back to the motel.
256
No, Dad, wait!
257
You know, we should probably follow him. He's gonna need our help.
258
I can't believe you're serious about doing this. Spending the night next to a corpse with a child? Sounds crazy to me.
259
I thought I told you two to go back to the motel.
260
But Conan wanted to...
261
Hey, officer, who moved this body without getting my permission first?
262
It was me. I felt sorry for that poor man being left in such an unnatural position against that piano.
263
Yeah, that's a problem. See, forensics hasn't been here yet.
264
Hey, that sheet music we found earlier has disappeared.
265
What? Oh, that, yes, I have it. I didn't want it to get lost.
266
Great, good work.
267
It's sheet music from Moonlight Sonata.
268
What?
269
Moonlight Sonata?
270
You're ruining that beautiful song!
271
It's not me. There's an error on the fourth line of this page.
272
Fourth line?
273
Is it possible this sheet music is Mr. Cavanaugh's dying message?
274
If that's so, then the murderer may try to retrieve it.
275
Hello?
276
The front desk clerk at the motel told me you were staying here tonight.
277
Dr. Adams.
278
I thought you might like some midnight snacks.
279
Oh, that's exactly what I need.
280
I am starving.
281
So, Dr. Adams, when we met before, you said you weren't originally from this island, right?
282
Yes, I'm from the city and I go back there every weekend.
283
I guess you could call me a part-time resident here.
284
I've always wanted to work on an island like this, surrounded by nature.
285
Plus, I really love that small-town attitude.
286
I've been here just over two years.
287
So, Dr. Adams, Mr. Kirkpatrick, the former mayor of Moonlight who the service was for tonight,
288
did he really die of heart failure?
289
Yes. He had a history of heart trouble in his family,
290
but the expression on his face when he died was twisted as if he'd seen something frightening.
291
Do you remember noticing anything different about the room then?
292
Let's see.
293
Come to think of it...
294
What is it?
295
I want to say there was a window open.
296
A window?
297
I remember that being mentioned.
298
They just assumed that a custodian had forgotten to close it.
299
Which window was it?
300
That's easy.
301
It was this window here.
302
Watch out!
303
Hold it!
304
Stop!
305
Ah, Ratt. We lost him.
306
He did exactly what I thought he'd do.
307
He came back to get the sheet music.
308
Okay, here's the plan. We're staying up all night guarding the place.
309
All right.
310
Hey, Moore!
311
Moore! You awake? It's already afternoon.
312
Inspector McGuire, what are you doing here?
313
Technically, this island is considered to be in my jurisdiction.
314
Should've known.
315
If you're looking for the sheet music, I got it from Conan.
316
I've already been filled in on all the details.
317
Yeah, all three of them were awake when I got here.
318
The only two who were still sleeping were you and Grandpa over there.
319
We're starting the investigation down at City Hall.
320
Get cleaned up. We're gonna need you.
321
I think we'd be better off if we'd just stayed up all night.
322
Hey, Dad. What's up?
323
Did you find the killer yet?
324
Would we still be here if we had?
325
I mean, there were people at that service last night, and they're all suspects.
326
So it won't be that easy.
327
So, when is it my turn to be questioned?
328
Look, I know you're tired, Doctor, but unfortunately, you're last on our list.
329
I guess I'll go freshen up a bit. See you soon.
330
Detective, do you know how many people haven't been questioned yet today?
331
Well, if you include Dr. Adams,
332
we've got Mayor Kinsella's daughter, Renee Kinsella,
333
who's over there with her fiancé, Stephen Mulholland,
334
Matthew Schumacher, who's running for mayor,
335
and Mr. Kinsella's assistant, Kevin Hadley.
336
Ken Nicholson is being questioned now.
337
So that makes six people, but this Nicholson guy is taking a while.
338
No matter what we ask him, he remains silent.
339
My gut tells me that he's our murderer.
340
Kevin! Are you still talking about that cursed piano?
341
The more you keep these rumors alive, the better the chances it will happen.
342
But Mr. Kinsella, I wasn't...
343
Just get rid of it, or it's your job.
344
Yes, sir.
345
Hire a guy as a favor for your brother. It's a thing you get to do.
346
How dare you accuse me of that!
347
Why would I want to kill Mr. Kavanaugh? You have nothing on me!
348
Renee is really getting hysterical.
349
She's been screaming for the past ten minutes.
350
Now that's funny. He's already finished his questioning,
351
yet Mr. Nicholson hasn't gone home yet.
352
Is he waiting around for someone?
353
Rachel, I've got to go to the bathroom.
354
Uh, didn't Mr. Nicholson just come in here a second ago?
355
Not in here.
356
Oh, great. He took the stairs.
357
Oh, no.
358
It's Moonlight Sonata, second movement.
359
Where's that music coming from?
360
The PA room?
361
Mr. Nicholson!
362
Too late again.
363
No!
364
Wait, ma'am. You can't go in there.
365
Get the lab boys in here right away!
366
Sorry, Inspector. Forensics already went to the city to perform Kavanaugh's autopsy.
367
What? They didn't leave anyone here?
368
What about me?
369
I'll volunteer my services.
370
Dr. Adams?
371
Well, at least we've narrowed down our list of suspects to a select few.
372
The killer must still be here.
373
We had all the exits sealed off with armed security.
374
That's two unsolved deaths too many.
375
Who could it be?
376
Who is the murderer?
