The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case
Q21
The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case
Q22
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.
Q23
And it’s all thanks to that irritating letter I received last week.
Q24
The next night at the full moon, shadows will begin disappearing from Moonlight Island. Please investigate. Signed, Casper Austin.
Q25
Yes, Moore Detective Agency.
Q26
Two more days till the full moon.
Q27
Huh?
Q28
Your $five thousand fee has already been deposited in your account. Good luck.
Q29
Hey, wait a minute. Who is this?
Q30
Casper Austin, of Moonlight Island.
Q31
Ah! No, wait! Hold on! Hello? Hello?!
Q32
I hate difficult clients.
Q33
Oh, Dad. I’m excited about going to this island so we can relax. Aren’t you, Conan?
Q34
Mm-hmm.
Q35
Uh…
Q36
Austin… Casper… I can’t find anyone by that name on my list here.
Q37
Then check your records again. I know he’s here. How could I get a letter from him if he doesn’t exist?
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.
Q39
Is there a problem here?
Q40
Sort of. This gentleman claims a resident on the island hired him, but we can’t find his name on the list.
Q41
Really?
Q42
Yes. Apparently by a man named Casper Austin.
Q43
What? Did you say Casper Austin?
Q44
That can’t be true. Casper Austin couldn’t have contacted him. It’s impossible. He’s been dead years.
Q45
Casper Austin was a famous concert pianist that lived on this island.
Q46
He was an amazing talent whose fingers could create the most angelic-sounding music.
Q47
About twelve years ago on a night with a full moon, he played his last concert.
Q48
It had been a while since he’d been on the island due to touring, so this performance was quite special.
Q49
After the show, without any warning, he locked his family inside of his house and set it on fire.
Q50
He stabbed his wife and daughter with a kitchen knife.
Q51
It’s said that he then played the piano with walls of flame surrounding him until he succumbed to the smoke,
Q52
as if some terrible power had taken over him.
Q53
He died that night, playing Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata.
Q54
Hmm. A letter from a dead person. That’s what I call a practical joke.
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.
Q56
I bet there’s somebody on this island that wants you to do an investigation on Casper Austin instead of for Casper Austin.
Q57
That’s right. We could question the mayor about who Casper’s closest friends and fans were before he died.
Q58
Then maybe we could find some clues.
Q59
That’s enough, Rachel. Didn’t someone tell us the mayor would be at the community hall today?
Q60
Okay, Billy, remember now. Keep warm and drink plenty of liquids.
Q61
I will. Bye-bye.
Q62
Goodbye.
Q63
Uh, excuse me. Could you point us towards the community hall?
Q64
Yes. Take a left at this corner here, then follow that and it’s on your right.
Q65
I don’t suppose you’re all from the city?
Q66
Yes. We just arrived by boat.
Q67
Really? I used to live in the city myself a few years back. I loved it there.
Q68
But this island does have its advantages. The air is clean and crisp and it’s always so tranquil and warm.
Q69
He’s the man with the plan. Protect the fishermen.
Q70
That’s Mr. Schumacher for bad boys.
Q71
Well, strike that. Maybe not so quiet with the election coming up.
Q72
Oh, an election, huh?
Q73
The candidates are Mr. Schumacher, who represents the fishermen and is from the town of Schumacher,
Q74
the current mayor, Mr. Kinsella, whose popularity has waned,
Q75
and Mr. Cavanaugh, the island’s wealthiest man.
Q76
According to some of my patients, Mr. Cavanaugh has a small…
Q77
I’m sorry to interrupt, nurse, but we’re not interested in this island’s politics.
Q78
Well, I am sorry, too, sir. I’m not a nurse, Dr. Nadia Adams.
Q79
Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
Q80
You know, if you’re going down to the community hall, you’ll be able to meet all three of the candidates.
Q81
Oh?
Q82
They’re holding a memorial service tonight for the former mayor, Mr. Kirkpatrick, who died two years ago.
Q83
He died in office?
Q84
A memorial.
Q85
Our water is too dirty for the fish to dry!
Q86
Talk about opportunistic.
Q87
We’re trying to hold a memorial service, and they have the nerve to hold a protest!
Q88
Ignore them. They’re just a bunch of pests making noise.
Q89
Hadley! What are you doing standing there? Do something to make those people shut up!
Q90
Uh, yes. Sorry, Miss Kinsella.
Q91
Hey, what’s going on in here?
Q92
What is it, Stephen?
Q93
The election word on the street is your numbers are slipping fast and you don’t stand a chance.
Q94
I heard the same thing. In fact, last time I checked, I had a % lead on every candidate.
Q95
We all know that’s because you know how to throw your money around.
Q96
I learned it all from you, Theodore.
Q97
Uh, Mr. Kinsella, there’s someone from the city here to see you.
Q98
Oh, great. Who is it?
Q99
He wouldn’t tell me his name, but he is a detective.
Q100
What? A detective here?
Q101
For crying out loud. How long are they going to make us wait?
Q102
Dad, have you seen Conan?
Q103
Uh, a piano.
Q104
Hey, Conan, what are you doing?
Q105
Well, what’s going on in here?
Q106
Nice. Great view of the water from here.
Q107
This piano is filthy.
Q108
Why don’t they just clean it up a bit?
Q109
Stop! Don’t touch that!
Q110
That’s the piano.
Q111
Casper Austin played his last concert on that the night he killed his family.
Q112
That wretched thing is cursed!
Q113
You’re kidding, right? How can a piano be cursed?
Q114
Mr. Austin wasn’t the only one, though. Our last mayor died in very much the same way.
Q115
Which is the Mr. Kirkpatrick you’re having the memorial service for today?
Q116
Yes. It all happened two years ago today.
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.
Q118
I called out, asking if there was anyone inside, and then, suddenly, the music stopped.
Q119
I walked into the room and found Mayor Kirkpatrick dead.
Q120
The cause of death was listed as heart failure, but what is really haunting is the song he died playing.
Q121
The same song Mr. Austin continued playing as the flames engulfed him.
Q122
The Moonlight Sonata.
Q123
Ever since that horrible day, this has been dubbed the Cursed Piano, and no one has touched it.
Q124
Conan! I don’t see what the problem is. It works fine.
Q125
Now, if you don’t mind, please wait in the lobby until the service is over.
Q126
Hey! What are you guys still doing here?
Q127
Looking around. You here for the service?
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.
Q129
Oh, this is Mr. Schumacher. I met him on the way inside.
Q130
Matthew Schumacher. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Q131
Hey, Kavanaugh. You hired that detective from the city to do some checking on me, didn’t you?
Q132
Don’t be stupid.
Q133
Yeah, run away.
Q134
Excuse me.
Q135
It’s strange. According to what Mr. Hadley said, that piano hasn’t been used in several years.
Q136
Yet when I played it earlier, the sounds it produced were quite accurate.
Q137
Someone must be secretly tuning that piano.
Q138
Otherwise, it would have sounded much worse. And how does the letter Richard got play into this?
Q139
Oh no. It’s that song.
Q140
Moonlight Sonata.
Q141
Conan!
Q142
Hey kid, don’t go in there!
Q143
Mr. Kavanaugh.
Q144
We were too late.
Q145
He’s dead.
Q146
What? He’s dead?
Q147
Rachel, find a phone and call the police over now.
Q148
Right.
Q149
Dr. Adams, would you mind examining the body?
Q150
No, not at all.
Q151
I see the point of the letter now.
Q152
It was predicting that someone would be killed on Moonlight Island on the night of a full moon.
Q153
Why didn’t I see it before?
Q154
It’s the curse.
Q155
The curse is back. That piano is haunted.
Q156
Yeah, and what curse is that?
Q157
It’s not the piano. It’s a tape deck playing the music.
Q158
Kavanaugh’s death appears to be exactly like the previous two.
Q159
I call that premeditated murder.
Q160
Murder?
Q161
Hold up. Don’t start making accusations here.
Q162
Besides, who are you anyway?
Q163
I’m that famous detective from the city you heard about.
Q164
The name’s Richard Moore.
Q165
Oh yeah, you’re the astronaut, right?
Q166
No, no. You’re thinking of the guy who writes the mystery books.
Q167
No, that’s Robert Moore.
Q168
Then who’s this guy supposed to be?
Q169
Seawater.
Q170
I estimate time of death is minutes to one hour ago.
Q171
Cause of death seems like suffocation.
Q172
Although, the more I examine the body, the more it looks like a drowning.
Q173
So then he drowned. Great.
Q174
Though I can’t be sure until an autopsy is done.
Q175
I think Dr. Adams is right in her assumptions.
Q176
See, there’s a suit jacket floating in the water.
Q177
It probably belongs to Mr. Kavanaugh.
Q178
There’s evidence that he was dragged from this door that leads to the ocean over to the piano where he is now.
Q179
There’s also a visible amount of sand on his back.
Q180
This door as well as all the other doors and windows in the room were locked.
Q181
And the first few seconds recorded on this tape are just silence.
Q182
So, Conan, when’d you find all this out?
Q183
The murderer probably led Mr. Kavanaugh outside, incapacitated him and then drowned him.
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.
Q185
Right, Mr. Moore?
Q186
Uh, yeah, that’s correct, Conan.
Q187
The situation now shows us that the door to this room was locked.
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.
Q189
Hold on a minute there. Are you saying that murderer is still here?
Q190
He’s still here?
Q191
Yes, more than likely the murderer is still here.
Q192
Did anyone here see Mr. Kavanaugh leave his seat at any time during the service?
Q193
Yeah, I sure did see him leave. He said he was gonna use the restroom.
Q194
And did anyone see any other person leave his or her seat?
Q195
How can you expect someone to remember all these little details?
Q196
Okay, do you know of anyone that didn’t get along with Mr. Kavanaugh? Anyone at all?
Q197
I wouldn’t call it a grudge, but the only one who can benefit from this death is Schumacher.
Q198
He’s running against Kavanaugh in the upcoming election for my office.
Q199
What are you talking about? That would make you just as much of a suspect as me.
Q200
He’s right. It could mean a sure win for my father in the election.
Q201
Assuming that someone hasn’t already tried to rig the votes for the longevity of his own pathetic campaign.
Q202
What?
Q203
Please, Miss Kinsella.
Q204
All right, let’s calm down.
Q205
There’s one thing I still don’t get. Why’d the killer bring the body here?
Q206
The killer took full advantage of the people’s superstitions by placing blame on the piano’s supposed curse.
Q207
By the way, how long has this piano been here?
Q208
Well, it’s been here since Mr. Austin donated it, and that was before me. I’d say about years.
Q209
Oh. It was Casper Austin’s piano.
Q210
Yes. His name is engraved there on the keyboard’s cover.
Q211
Hmm. What have we here?
Q212
It’s sheet music. That’s interesting. I’m sure this wasn’t here earlier this afternoon.
Q213
So who’s the drama queen?
Q214
That’s Ken Nicholson. He was a very affluent figure on the island, and independently wealthy.
Q215
Known for indulging in wine, women, and gambling.
Q216
But after the death of the former mayor, it’s as if he’s afraid of something and never leaves his house.
Q217
Just sits at home by himself.
Q218
Hmm.
Q219
If I’m not mistaken, you were childhood friends with him, weren’t you, Mr. Kinsella?
Q220
Oh, yeah. We go way back.
Q221
I got the police.
Q222
What took so long?
Q223
Well, he wasn’t at the police station. I had to go out and find him.
Q224
So then, who was it that sent for me?
Q225
He sent for you. Mr. Richard Moore is a…
Q226
Oh, yeah. You’re that famous…
Q227
Yes?
Q228
Space shuttle astronaut.
Q229
You got the wrong guy.
Q230
Okay, it’s getting pretty late. Why don’t we start the questionings in the morning?
Q231
What was all that talk of murder? Everyone knows it’s Austin’s curse.
Q232
I don’t understand it either.
Q233
Why don’t they just cut to the chase and burn that wretched piano?
Q234
Yeah, you’re right. Maybe it would be better if a haunted piano like that were disposed of.
Q235
Steven.
Q236
I was very impressed by Conan’s intelligent assumptions back there.
Q237
Yeah, well, he likes to play detective sometimes.
Q238
But everyone was saying how persuasive he was, as if he’s a professional.
Q239
Oh, no. I’m just imitating Richard, that’s all. I always watch him while he’s solving cases.
Q240
Compared to me, though, Conan here is obviously just a child.
Q241
Well, then, I guess we’ll be heading to our motel now.
Q242
Good night, then. Oh, I hope you solve this case soon, Detective Moore.
Q243
I’d rather not examine any more homicide victims.
Q244
No sweat. With a case in my hands, it’ll be wrapped up in no time.
Q245
I doubt it. This case is filled with things that even I don’t quite understand.
Q246
Wait a minute. The letter said, begin to disappear. That means… this isn’t the end.
Q247
What? You’re saying the murderer plans to strike again?
Q248
And you’re positive that this letter predicts more killings?
Q249
The letter said, shadows will disappear. That implies light.
Q250
So the light must be the Moonlight Sonata we heard on the tape at the murder scene.
Q251
I see now. So twelve years ago, the song Casper Austin was playing as his house was in flames.
Q252
And again, two years ago, the same song is heard before finding the body of the last mayor of Moonlight.
Q253
And all three deaths involve a piano.
Q254
You two, go back to the motel.
Q255
No, Dad, wait!
Q256
You know, we should probably follow him. He’s gonna need our help.
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.
Q258
I thought I told you two to go back to the motel.
Q259
But Conan wanted to…
Q260
Hey, officer, who moved this body without getting my permission first?
Q261
It was me. I felt sorry for that poor man being left in such an unnatural position against that piano.
Q262
Yeah, that’s a problem. See, forensics hasn’t been here yet.
Q263
Hey, that sheet music we found earlier has disappeared.
Q264
What? Oh, that, yes, I have it. I didn’t want it to get lost.
Q265
Great, good work.
Q266
It’s sheet music from Moonlight Sonata.
Q267
What?
Q268
Moonlight Sonata?
Q269
You’re ruining that beautiful song!
Q270
It’s not me. There’s an error on the fourth line of this page.
Q271
Fourth line?
Q272
Is it possible this sheet music is Mr. Cavanaugh’s dying message?
Q273
If that’s so, then the murderer may try to retrieve it.
Q274
Hello?
Q275
The front desk clerk at the motel told me you were staying here tonight.
Q276
Dr. Adams.
Q277
I thought you might like some midnight snacks.
Q278
Oh, that’s exactly what I need.
Q279
I am starving.
Q280
So, Dr. Adams, when we met before, you said you weren’t originally from this island, right?
Q281
Yes, I’m from the city and I go back there every weekend.
Q282
I guess you could call me a part-time resident here.
Q283
I’ve always wanted to work on an island like this, surrounded by nature.
Q284
Plus, I really love that small-town attitude.
Q285
I’ve been here just over two years.
Q286
So, Dr. Adams, Mr. Kirkpatrick, the former mayor of Moonlight who the service was for tonight,
Q287
did he really die of heart failure?
Q288
Yes. He had a history of heart trouble in his family,
Q289
but the expression on his face when he died was twisted as if he’d seen something frightening.
Q290
Do you remember noticing anything different about the room then?
Q291
Let’s see.
Q292
Come to think of it…
Q293
What is it?
Q294
I want to say there was a window open.
Q295
A window?
Q296
I remember that being mentioned.
Q297
They just assumed that a custodian had forgotten to close it.
Q298
Which window was it?
Q299
That’s easy.
Q300
It was this window here.
Q301
Watch out!
Q302
Hold it!
Q303
Stop!
Q304
Ah, Ratt. We lost him.
Q305
He did exactly what I thought he’d do.
Q306
He came back to get the sheet music.
Q307
Okay, here’s the plan. We’re staying up all night guarding the place.
Q308
All right.
Q309
Hey, Moore!
Q310
Moore! You awake? It’s already afternoon.
Q311
Inspector McGuire, what are you doing here?
Q312
Technically, this island is considered to be in my jurisdiction.
Q313
Should’ve known.
Q314
If you’re looking for the sheet music, I got it from Conan.
Q315
I’ve already been filled in on all the details.
Q316
Yeah, all three of them were awake when I got here.
Q317
The only two who were still sleeping were you and Grandpa over there.
Q318
We’re starting the investigation down at City Hall.
Q319
Get cleaned up. We’re gonna need you.
Q320
I think we’d be better off if we’d just stayed up all night.
Q321
Hey, Dad. What’s up?
Q322
Did you find the killer yet?
Q323
Would we still be here if we had?
Q324
I mean, there were people at that service last night, and they’re all suspects.
Q325
So it won’t be that easy.
Q326
So, when is it my turn to be questioned?
Q327
Look, I know you’re tired, Doctor, but unfortunately, you’re last on our list.
Q328
I guess I’ll go freshen up a bit. See you soon.
Q329
Detective, do you know how many people haven’t been questioned yet today?
Q330
Well, if you include Dr. Adams,
Q331
we’ve got Mayor Kinsella’s daughter, Renee Kinsella,
Q332
who’s over there with her fiancé, Stephen Mulholland,
Q333
Matthew Schumacher, who’s running for mayor,
Q334
and Mr. Kinsella’s assistant, Kevin Hadley.
Q335
Ken Nicholson is being questioned now.
Q336
So that makes six people, but this Nicholson guy is taking a while.
Q337
No matter what we ask him, he remains silent.
Q338
My gut tells me that he’s our murderer.
Q339
Kevin! Are you still talking about that cursed piano?
Q340
The more you keep these rumors alive, the better the chances it will happen.
Q341
But Mr. Kinsella, I wasn’t…
Q342
Just get rid of it, or it’s your job.
Q343
Yes, sir.
Q344
Hire a guy as a favor for your brother. It’s a thing you get to do.
Q345
How dare you accuse me of that!
Q346
Why would I want to kill Mr. Kavanaugh? You have nothing on me!
Q347
Renee is really getting hysterical.
Q348
She’s been screaming for the past ten minutes.
Q349
Now that’s funny. He’s already finished his questioning,
Q350
yet Mr. Nicholson hasn’t gone home yet.
Q351
Is he waiting around for someone?
Q352
Rachel, I’ve got to go to the bathroom.
Q353
Uh, didn’t Mr. Nicholson just come in here a second ago?
Q354
Not in here.
Q355
Oh, great. He took the stairs.
Q356
Oh, no.
Q357
It’s Moonlight Sonata, second movement.
Q358
Where’s that music coming from?
Q359
The PA room?
Q360
Mr. Nicholson!
Q361
Too late again.
Q362
No!
Q363
Wait, ma’am. You can’t go in there.
Q364
Get the lab boys in here right away!
Q365
Sorry, Inspector. Forensics already went to the city to perform Kavanaugh’s autopsy.
Q366
What? They didn’t leave anyone here?
Q367
What about me?
Q368
I’ll volunteer my services.
Q369
Dr. Adams?
Q370
Well, at least we’ve narrowed down our list of suspects to a select few.
Q371
The killer must still be here.
Q372
We had all the exits sealed off with armed security.
Q373
That’s two unsolved deaths too many.
Q374
Who could it be?
Q375
Who is the murderer?
