Chapter 140: A Case From 12 Years Ago (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

The Metropolitan Police Department's high-speed ferry docked at the Moon Shadow Island Pier.

Megure Thirteen led Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi out of the boat, just in time to see them.

The three of them, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, were tied up and sitting on the ground with dejected expressions.

The worst person is Hideo Kawashima, the eight-character figure.

Her buttocks were raised high, and her hands were tied behind her back.

Like a hen that cannot lay eggs.

"What's going on?"

Mumu Shisan was dumbfounded.

This battle.

Why is it like taking a prisoner?

It wasn't until he saw Sakaki Makoto and Mouri Kogoro that he suddenly woke up.

I'm afraid

The case has been solved.

"Memu Police Department."

Sakaki's hands are wrapped with gauze. As long as he puts on a mask and a white coat, he can transform into the chief surgeon in the operating room.

Of course, if he is really allowed to perform surgery, patients can be relieved regardless of their serious or minor ailments.

"The prisoner's confession and scene records have been completed."

In order to save time, Sakaki asked Conan to take notes for them.

"The case can be closed."

"The bonus will be credited to my account."

Megure Thirteen glanced at Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the others, then lowered his head to look at the case statement that was handed to him.

The corners of his mouth twitched sharply.

He couldn't help but wonder about a problem.

Metropolitan Police Department.

Is it necessary to exist?

Will Sakaki directly contact the prison next time?

Then they become the hands-off shopkeeper and are only responsible for distributing bonuses.

This can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Just keep the accountants.

He was helpless.

Because Sakaki Makoto is like a loser in his job.

In several cases, their police presence was completely downplayed.

"ah"

Mumu Shisan scratched his head:

"OK."

He had nothing to say.

Sakaki's efficiency is simply too high.

He had no reason to refuse.

"What?!"

On one side, Mouri Kogoro stood in front of the hedgehog-headed Nishimoto Ken, holding a letter and shouted:

"This letter is not from you?"

Ken Nishimoto shrank his neck:

“It’s really not us”

"Why did we invite detectives to the island?"

"Who is the person who believed?"

Mouri Kogoro glanced at the letter:

"Aso Keiji, yes, that's the name."

"who?!"

Ken Nishimoto's eyes almost flew out:

"Ma Ma Ma Ma"

"impossible!"

Kawashima Hideo, who was sticking his butt out, jumped in surprise:

"Keiji Aso."

"He died twelve years ago!"

His cry attracted everyone's attention.

Sakaki came over:

"You mean, a dead man wrote a letter inviting the Maori detective to come to Moon Shadow Island?"

"Who are you fooling?"

"to be honest!"

Kawashima Hideo's breath stopped and he said quickly:

"Why am I lying to you when I'm like this!"

"Keiji Aso really died in the fire!"

"Yes, yes."

Nishimoto Ken nodded tremblingly:

"It was Kawashima who set the fire."

Kawashima Hideo: "?"

This backstab came unexpectedly.

He opened his mouth and didn't react at all.

The case that took place twelve years ago is already regarded as rotten millet.

How could you die if you don't say the second half of the sentence? !

But he misjudged the extent of Nishimoto Ken's mental breakdown. Now Nishimoto Ken

It's like drinking truth serum, answering all questions.

That is what is called being scared out of your wits.

"explain!"

This is information that can increase bonuses, so of course Sakaki would not miss it:

"What happened twelve years ago!"

Ken Nishimoto swallowed and said slowly in front of everyone:

"Twelve years ago, there was a pianist on the island named Keiji Aso, who often performed abroad."

"We grew up playing with him, so we asked him to bring heroin back from abroad and sell it."

"But one day, he suddenly said he would stop helping us."

Ken Nishimoto's pupils were a little dilated, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead:

"We are afraid that he will reveal the secret, so..."

"Just knock him out with a stick and then set him on fire."

"So he must be dead!"

Sakaki Cheng and Conan looked at each other, and both saw the solemn look in the other's eyes.

If things really develop like this.

Keiji Aso is indeed certain to die.

Then this letter.

Who posted it again?

"How many bodies did you find in the fire?"

"No, I don't know."

Ken Nishimoto said:

"The case was handled by the police at that time. We felt guilty and did not dare to ask more questions."

"But there were indeed bodies being taken out. This is what we saw with our own eyes."

At this time, Mumu Shisan suddenly recalled an arson case he took over twelve years ago, not long after he entered the Metropolitan Police Department.

The place where it happened was on Moon Shadow Island.

After trying to think back, he clapped his hands and said:

"I remembered it!"

"I know about that case!"

"I handled it!"

Uh-huh!

Several glances came over.

"How many bodies were carried out from the fire at that time?"

"It seems. It seems"

Mu Mu Shisan frowned and thought hard:

"It's two of them."

"Yes, two!"

"The big one and the small one have all been burned to the point where they are no longer human beings."

Hideo Kawashima, Ken Nishimoto, and Tatsuji Kuroiwa who wakes up leisurely.

They shouted in unison:

"impossible!!!"

"Aso Keiji has two relatives!"

"One is his wife, the other is his daughter!"

The air suddenly became quiet.

"That's right."

Someone among the onlookers said weakly:

"Aso Keiji's wife and his daughter were burned to death, aren't they just two bodies."

His words reminded everyone.

Could it be that

Aso Keiji is really not dead? !

And he also sent an invitation letter to Maori Kogoro twelve years later

But what is the purpose?

"Mouri Detective, lend me the letter."

Sakaki Makoto stretched out his hand.

"Okay."

Mouri Kogoro handed the letter over.

[The next full moon night, on the Moon Shadow Island, the shadow will begin to disappear, please come to investigate-Aso Keiji]

This is a letter cut out of newspapers.

You can't judge the other party's habits from the handwriting.

But this letter

"is a murder notice."

Conan suddenly said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The meaning of the letter is not difficult to understand.

The key is

If Aso Keiji is not dead, he must be nearby.

Because the person he wants to take revenge on is right in front of him.

Sakaki Makoto looked around in doubt, trying to find Aso Keiji.

Just now, Nishimoto Ken said that Aso Keiji and the others were childhood friends, and their age must be similar.

That is, around 56 or 57 years old.

With a glance, Sakaki Makoto immediately locked onto several people around 50 years old.

But before he could ask, Nishimoto Ken shouted again:

"That's right!"

"If Aso Keiji is not dead, then Kameyama Isamu must have been killed by him!"

"Who is Kameyama Isamu?"

Listening to this name that came out of nowhere, Sakaki Makoto frowned.

"Former village chief."

Nishimoto Ken trembled and said:

"He was also our childhood friend and accomplice."

"Two years ago, he suddenly died of a heart attack at home."

"It was as if he saw something incredible."

Nishimoto Ken raised his head and seemed to finally understand:

"He must have seen Keiji Aso!"
