Chapter 85: Really Beautiful
The next day, Nobushige and Mori Kogoro finally got on the ferry to Moon Shadow Island.
The fog on the sea was thick, and Mori Kogoro felt very heavy.
"Really, police officer Henggou said that he would entertain us in Saitama County for a few more days, but he had to go to a remote island for that messy commission!" Uncle Maoli was smoking a cigarette with a very unhappy expression on his face.
"I think it's pretty good." Mao Lilan said with a smile, "It's just a good time to visit the island. I heard that the scenery of Moon Shadow Island is very good."
"It's just a broken island. I don't think there is anything interesting on it."
Xin Fan leaned against the bow of the boat, and after hearing this, he turned around and reminded: "Mr. Mao Li, your words cannot be said on Moon Shadow Island."
"Why?"
The one who raised the question was Conan, who was the smallest and most easily overlooked.
"Because the more remote and isolated the place, the easier it is for the residents to form a hemp rope, and the easier it is to be xenophobic." Xin Fan smiled, "If you look down on Moon Shadow Island, if the residents on the island hear it, you may be beaten. "
The expression on Mori Kogoro's face froze: "No, can't you?"
I really don't want to accept this commission anymore, what are these things!
...
Although Mori Kogoro is very reluctant, he still possesses the basic qualities of a detective.
When he got to Moon Shadow Island, he had already put on a normal look, with a serious and responsible look: "Please help me find out about Keiji Aso."
The staff in the Yueying Island Village Office are very young, but their work experience is obviously insufficient, and they still can't find anything after searching for a long time.
"Is there no such person at all?"
As soon as the staff asked a tentative question, Kogoro Mori snapped back: "Impossible, Keiji Aso sent me a letter of entrustment, how could it be that I am not a resident of Moon Shadow Island?"
The staff had no choice but to turn up the page: "But it's really not there, but I was just transferred here last month, and I don't know the residents of the island very well..."
The supervisor looked over and asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"
"Ah, this gentleman said that someone commissioned him to come here, but the client's name is Keiji Aso, I can't find it..."
The supervisor's expression suddenly changed, and his face turned pale: "Ma, Keiji Aso?!"
Following his voice, other residents of the office also looked over with strange eyes this time. There were noisy whispers in the office, and some people took a peek and turned back immediately.
Mori Kogoro looked at Mo Lilan in a daze, and even Conan looked around curiously.
"No! This is impossible!!" The supervisor shouted excitedly, "Because he...he died more than ten years ago!!"
What? ?
Mori Kogoro flinched back in fright.
But Xinfan felt that the uncle should have been frightened by the exaggerated expression of the supervisor. After all, even if Aso Keiji was dead, they would at most think it was a prank.
"This person's reaction is very strange." Conan said to Xinfan, "It always feels like something is going to happen."
Xin Fan smiled: "I think if you leave Moon Shadow Island immediately, nothing will happen."
"...What are you alluding to, Brother Asano?"
"Iya, it's nothing."
Conan remained skeptical.
But before he had time to think about what Nobushige Asano was implying, the supervisor began to explain the story of Keiji Aso to them.
That is a very good pianist, born on Moon Shadow Island, and brought glory back to this island.
However, on the night of the full moon twelve years ago, it was this powerful pianist who set fire to his house after finishing his performance in the public hall, and buried his wife and daughter in the raging flames.
"It is said that he played the piano until he was burned to death as if he was entangled by something." The supervisor said with lingering fear, "That is Beethoven's piano sonata - Moonlight."
Mao Lilan was most afraid of the legends of ghosts and gods, and her face turned pale after hearing these words.
When she went out, her footsteps were even a little vain, and her expression was in a trance.
"Isn't it really possessed..." Mao Lilan asked nervously.
"Those are all for coaxing children!" Mori Kogoro took out the entrustment letter and read it, "This must be some kind of prank, to send me a letter pretending to be a dead person."
"Not necessarily." Conan looked at Shinshige, "Brother Asano also thinks that the client who claims to be Keiji Aso has a purpose?"
"Yes. After all, the client has already paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan." Xin Fan dutifully played the role of a broker, "Even if he plans to forfeit the subsequent 500,000 yuan, the paid part is more expensive than most commissions." high."
"..." Conan was helpless, well, really professional, "and the postmark on the letter of entrustment came from Moon Shadow Island. So I think the client should want my uncle to help investigate the truth about the Keiji Aso incident."
"Yes." Mao Lilan nodded and said, "It may be sent by Mr. Keiji Aso's former friend. We might as well ask the village chief."
Mori Kogoro pondered: "Then let's go to the public hall first. I seem to have heard that the village chief is over there."
"Kenta needs to take the medicine obediently, so that the cold will heal quickly."
A clear and gentle voice came from behind, and Mao Lilan looked over curiously.
Xin Fan also noticed the young woman wearing a white coat with her long hair tied up high. Her temperament is actually not the same as that of a traditional beauty. She is more sunny and free and easy, which gives people a refreshing feeling.
After the young woman finished speaking with the little boy, she watched him leave and was about to go back.
Mao Lilan quickly stopped him: "Sorry, do you know where the public hall is?"
"Ah." The young woman pointed in one direction, "Turn the corner in front and go straight to the end."
Both Mao Lilan and Conan looked in the direction of her finger, but the young woman suddenly said excitedly: "Did you all come from Tokyo?"
"Yes." Mao Lilan smiled, "I came here by the boat just now."
"Really? I was born in Tokyo!" the young woman said nostalgicly, "But this small island is very different from Tokyo, right? The air is really fresh and very quiet!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a van with a horn came slowly, and the broadcast said: "Shimizu, Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato!!"
Well, it can be said to be very slapped.
The young doctor can even catch up with the background of the bleak autumn wind.
Xin Fan has been staring at the doctor, if his memory is correct, she should be him.
But it's really beautiful.
"It's really beautiful!" Conan teased from the side, "Brother Asano must think so?"
