Asai was probably the surname of the family that adopted him. After graduation, he came to the island as a female doctor. The pronunciation of his name was not written on his diploma, nor the medical license, because if they checked his history, they would have found out that he was a man: the kanji forming Asoh's name could be read as either "Seiji" (a male-only name) or "Narumi" (a female-only name): coupled with Asoh's feminine features and rather girlish voice, it let him masquerade as a female doctor rather well, plus falsifying the times of death and manipulating the crime scenes. He also stayed all night so that they'd make him last for questioning, keeping the "disguise" intact. |

| + | "Narumi"/Seiji's reason to do all of this is that the supposed "familicide" commited by Kenji Asoh was actually commited by others. The victims were all involved in a cocaine-smuggling ring that used Keiji Asoh's concerts for its actions. When Asoh grew tired of this and told them that he wouldn't collaborate anymore, they locked the whole family (save for Seiji, who was stuck in Tokyo) in their Tsukikage Island home and set it on fire, making it look like Asoh had murdered his family. The "confession" was actually Asoh's last action before he died in the fire. | ||

While they were looking for him, the community center building suddenly went up in flames: it turns out Seiji, who had realized that he had been found out, locked himself inside and set it on fire, intending to die like his father... |
| + | |||
| + | Conan, carrying Asoh's last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and told Seiji to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family's murder, then explained that he never believed the "official version" so, as soon as he graduated from medical school, he posed as a female doctor in Tsukikage Island to investigate without being bothered. When he confronted Kameyama, the mayor recognized him as Seiji Asoh and panicked, telling Seiji what the group had done and dying of a heart attack right there. That's what gave Seiji the idea of killing the remaining culprits in a way that would show his revenge for his family. | ||

Seiji refused, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained; then he grabbed Conan and threw him through the window, saving his life. Then, he played one last music code message in the burning flames: "Thank you, little detective." | ||

Case
Situation
Kogoro Mouri received a strange cut-and-paste letter from a client called Keiji Asoh asking him investigate something on Tsukikage Island. He then found out that the man requesting for the investigation, Keiji Asoh, has been dead for 12 years. He was a world-renowned pianist who suddenly killed his family, set his house on fire, and played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as his house burnt around him.

Despite thinking the letter is a poor prank, Kogoro decides to investigate anyway and finds the island is holding elections for mayor. Two years ago, a passerby heard the Moonlight Sonata playing from the community center and discovered the body of the mayor slumped over the piano. Although he died from a heart attack, the similarity to the death of Keiji Asoh caused the islanders to think the piano has been cursed.
