Chapter 73, The Island Shrouded in Moon Shadow (Middle)
"How can this be reasonable! How can it be unreasonable! How dare you play the real name of Detective Mori Kogoro!"
Under the cherry blossom tree, Maori looked at the letter from the "dead man" in his hand and was about to tear it up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He's not happy enough today! First he was tricked into coming to the island by a man who talked to himself, then he was blocked at the dock by a big boat by some stinky boy who pretended to be a habitual offender, and then, after they finally arrived at the distribution center of the island, they were told that Keiji Aso, who had sent him the letter, was a dead man who had been warped twelve years ago!
What the hell is this, my famous detective Mori Kogoro has been being played as a monkey all day long?
"But uncle, is this really a prank?" At the moment when Maori was about to tear up the letter, Conan next to him couldn't help but show a puzzled expression, "Because of the commission fee, the other party has fully paid it!"
"That's right, even if the other party has money, no one should take 500,000 to prank!" Xiaolan also thought of this.
[No, no, no, if it's that guy from Eagle, I think he's happy to use so much money to fix people's ......]
Hearing Xiaolan's words, Conan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but his mouth still catered to Xiaolan's words.
"And uncle, the postmark of this letter is also from Moonshadow Island, I think, it should be someone on the island, I want to ask Uncle you to investigate this matter of Keiji Aso!" Conan thought for a moment, and then gave the most logical answer.
"In that case, let's go and ask those people who I heard are friends with Mr. Aso, well, I just heard from the staff of the distribution center that it seems that one of them is the head of this village? Maybe we can get more clues by asking him!"
"Let's go, I just heard that the village chief seems to be in the public hall......" Mori couldn't help but stand up.
Ten minutes later.
"Then the question is, uncle, do you really know where the public hall is?" Conan twitched.
"Nonsense, if I knew I would have been here for so long?" Mori glared at him angrily.
"Then we said just now that you wouldn't ......buy a map, but you won't buy it," Xiaolan couldn't help but pout.
"Then, can you blame me, that map for 1,000 yen is clearly a pit for tourists! How can I, a wise and martial detective, Mori Kogoro, fall for such a profiteer!"
However, all he received were two stares full of contempt.
"Forget it, it looks like we'll have to find someone to ask......"
Xiaolan sighed helplessly, then turned her head to look around, trying to find out if there were any locals, so she could ask for directions.
"Hmm, why is there no one on the street at this time...... Ah, that's not!"
Hearing Xiaolan's voice, Conan and Maori couldn't help but look in the direction of his finger.
====================================================================
"Got it, Ken Tai-kun, you must not touch the water when you go back, and you can't eat spicy things, you know?"
At the door of the Moon Shadow Island Clinic, Dr. Sung Sil lowered his head and gently touched the little boy's head, smiling at him.
"Yes, I see. The little boy nodded vigorously, then turned away, turning his head and waving at them as he ran, "Goodbye, sister doctor, goodbye, big brother!"
"Goodbye!" "Goodbye. Chengshi and the eagle arrow standing behind her also waved at him.
After seeing the little boy disappear at the end of the road, the smile on Chengshi's face faded little by little, and his hand slowly lowered.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be here, see you again......"
She didn't look back, just stared blankly into the distance, and said silently in a tone that couldn't tell what mood she was.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to meet you here......"
What answered her was a self-deprecating wry smile from Hawkya, as if she was sighing for something.
"Life is really wonderful, isn't it, I thought it would be like two lines that are not related from the intersection point, but I didn't expect that these two lines will eventually become a circle, so that everything will meet again, and people have to face their past, and everything they have experienced...... Isn't it, Miss Asomi?"
Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but walk up to her, look into her eyes, and say quietly.
And compared to his calmness, the moment Eagle Ya said that name, Chengshi's body couldn't help but tremble violently, revealing a look of disbelief and consternation, looking at him in disbelief.
"You know it all...... Isn't that ......?"
Perhaps the news was so shocking that she was stunned for thirty seconds before she finally came to her senses and looked at him in a complicated manner.
"It's not all, I've only investigated part of the matter," Takiya couldn't help but shake his head, "I just know that your real name is Aso Mi, and you also have a twin brother named Aso Minoru, and you are the children of pianist Keiji Aso, who set fire to **** twelve years ago." However, your brother and your family died in that fire with your father twelve years ago, leaving you recuperating in Rice Flower City...... It wasn't until later that you were adopted by the Asai family, so you changed your surname, and then you should have used the way your brother's name was written and the pronunciation of your own name to make up the name Asai Narumi, incognito......"
"Heh, the investigation is really detailed, is this only a part? Hehe, it is worthy of the legendary black knight, and the news network is really powerful enough......" Saying this, Chengshi seemed to have been drained of strength, and the originally gentle and lovely face showed a smile with bitterness and self-deprecation, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be so interested in other people's privacy, but everyone who has met once has to investigate so carefully, sure enough, you still can't trust me at the beginning......"
"Although I have to be extra cautious because of my work habits, I want to say that I really didn't want to investigate you, and the reason why I learned your true identity was purely an accident......
Seeing her bitter smile, Eagle Arrow just shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Accident?" Hearing his words, Chengshi couldn't help but raise his head in confusion.
"yes, I think you remember why I fell on your balcony, right?"
"What do you mean...... Hideo Kawashima?" Hearing his words, Chengshi was only slightly stunned, and then reacted.
"Sure enough, you know that the drug den I destroyed that night belonged to Hideo Kawashima......" Takiya couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you...... Test me?" Cheng Shi's body couldn't help but pause, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Not really, just curious as to why you know about this. Eagle Arrow stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "Sure enough, it has something to do with your family's affairs twelve years ago, right?"
"So what?" Sung Si smiled self-deprecatingly, "It has nothing to do with you......
"Can you tell me about it, I want to know the whole thing. ”
Eagle Ya just looked into her eyes quietly and said seriously.
He had a hunch that the events of Keiji Aso twelve years ago should be able to connect all the clues that have been obtained so far.
However, Chengshi only smiled faintly, and then looked at him with an extremely playful eye.
"Oh, Lord Black Knight, don't you think it's very unfair?"
"Well, what's unfair?"
"It's always been you who questioned my identity and probed my secrets, but you didn't reveal anything about your own affairs, don't you think it's very unfair? Everyone has things they don't want to know!"
Looking at Yingya's blank face, Chengshi couldn't help but glance at him angrily.
"I've said before that it's not good for you to know my business. Hearing her words, Eagle Ya shook his head helplessly, "So, in order to protect yourself and protect you, please forgive me for not revealing my ......"
"Ahh
However, at this moment, a cry suddenly came from behind him, pinning him to the spot.
it? Come again? It's this familiar rhythm again?
Eagle Ya turned his head in disbelief, and sure enough, it was the familiar trio, and his face suddenly looked as ugly as eating Xiang.
And Cheng Shi next to him couldn't help but smile, and his face became weird.
It's embarrassing ******......
===================================================================
"Eh, it turns out that Taka and Dr. Chengshi know each other like this!"
In the Bentley of Eagle Ya's house, Xiaolan, who was sitting in the back row, was chatting happily with Chengshi, who had already gotten off work on the side.
"Eh, yes, but I only found out today that he is the eldest young master of the famous Yuchai Group......"
Saying this, Chengshi couldn't help but raise his head, glanced at the eagle arrow, who had been staring at her through the rearview mirror since just now, blinked, and the corners of his mouth flashed with an indescribable arc.
"I should be embarrassed to speak, the eldest young master of the dignified Yuchai Group actually dislocated his hand because he stepped on a banana peel, if I didn't dare to speak, I really couldn't afford to lose this person, ahahahahaha!"
Ignoring Eagle's stinking face, Mori laughed uncontrollably in the back seat.
Today he was stuck in a jam by his boat for a full hour, and now I can see his jokes, not to my heart's content!
Hearing Maori's villainous smile, everyone sitting in the car couldn't help but show a trace of blank expression.
[Young Master, why did you come up with such an excuse?] Uncle De, who was driving, expressed himself with a gesture towards the eagle.
"You think I want to...... At that time, I had time to think about it, and Chengshi first said that it was because I was injured that I knew him, and God knows how I thought of such a reason for cheating like a ghost......]
Hawkya couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then simply leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes and didn't speak. Anyway, he has enough black history, and it's not bad for this one. And he believes that Chengshi is a smart woman who will never reveal her identity, just as she also believes that she will not reveal her identity......
"Then again, Hawkya, how did you come to this Moon Shadow Island for no reason?" asked Xiaolan with some curiosity.
"My uncle is going to build a sea resort here, and it just so happens that I have nothing to do, so let me come over to explore the way, understand the situation, and treat it as a tourist......" Eagle Ya yawned and said without looking back.
"Eh, is the Yuchai Group going to build a resort here?" Conan, who was sitting on Xiaolan's lap, couldn't help but be curious.
"Wow, I'm really looking forward to it, the scenery here is so good, if it is reasonably developed, it will definitely attract a lot of tourists!
"Well, in this way, Moon Shadow Island may become rich as well......" Hearing Xiaolan's words, Chengshi also smiled, but then showed a look of distress, "But in that case, this place will also become lively, ......right?"
"That's right, if this tranquility disappears, I'll feel sorry......"
seemed to think of such a scene, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Xiaolan suddenly sighed a little sadly.
"Let's be sad when it really becomes like that, I haven't even written a word about this matter......"
[Don't talk about it, in fact, there is not even a single hair, it is all made up by me......]
Eagle Ya stretched and complained in her heart.
"But how did you come to this island?
Eagle suddenly turned his head and looked at them with a strange look, especially Conan, who was sitting on Ran's lap.
"What kind of eyes are those eyes, Brother Eagleya, do you dislike us?" Conan glared at him angrily.
[Nonsense, there is something you are doing, when will there not be some moths!]
"Ah, we came here because Dad was commissioned by someone else. ”
"Entrustment, tsk, it's strange that there are still people on this island who know about Uncle Maori's existence?"
Takaya touched his chin and smiled weirdly.
"What's the matter! My Maori Kogoro is a famous detective in the whole RB, no one knows, no one knows!"
Hearing Eagle's words, Maori, who was sitting in the back row, was suddenly unconvinced.
"However, this time it was an evil sect, I received a letter from a dead man, and I was sent to this island!"
Speaking of which, Maori is a fire in his belly, and he has been on this island for so long, and he hasn't even seen the main owner.
"Dead man's letter?heh, this sounds like a suspenseful mystery novel, what's the name?"
"It's a guy named Keiji Aso. Conan, who was sitting on Xiaolan's lap, couldn't help but say.
"Keiji Aso?!"
The moment he heard the name, Taka couldn't help frowning, and then instinctively looked at Chengshi over there.
Cheng Shi only turned his head slightly, did not dare to look at him, and his eyes dodged.
"Does Brother Eagle know about this person?"
Takaya and Narumi's reaction did not escape the little eyes, and Conan couldn't help but push his glasses and said curiously.
"Heh, of course I know, as soon as I got off the boat, I heard someone talking non-stop over there, what kind of pianist who set fire to **** twelve years ago, it's like telling an urban legend," Eagle Ya rolled his eyes angrily, "I almost heard my ears calloused......"
"Eh, is that so, we haven't heard much about it, so now we have to go to the public hall and ask the village chief about them!" Xiaolan thought about it seriously, and said, "After all, the other party paid 500,000 yuan to invite us to investigate, it shouldn't just be for me to come over to have fun, maybe there will be some inside story about what happened twelve years ago?"
"Who knows, maybe there is...... That's what our Detective Uncle Maori needs to worry about, though......"
Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but glance at Cheng Shi slightly, and then stretched.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the public hall has arrived. ”
At this moment, Bingley slowly stopped, and Uncle De turned his head and smiled at them.
"Ah, Mr. Ikeda, I'm sorry for you!"
Xiaolan and Maori thanked Uncle De and then opened the car door and walked down.
"I'll get off here too," Chengshi couldn't help but smile, "It's just right, I still have something to do with Mr. Shimizu." ”
"Brother Eagle, won't you go in with us?"
Conan looked at Cheng Shi, and then at Eagle Arrow, who was sitting on the co-pilot yawning, and couldn't help but say.
"Excuse me, I just talked to them, you talk slowly, I'll go for a ride with Uncle De, see you later." ”
"Well, I'll see you later, Hawkya. ”
Watching everyone walk into the door of the public hall, the smile on Eagleya's face couldn't help but slowly retract.
"I really didn't expect to be able to meet Mr. Maori here, it's really fate!"
Uncle De started the car and said with a smile as he drove it.
"Yes, it's really a bad relationship that can't be abandoned......"
The eagle duck curled the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes angrily.
"Did Miss Chengshi ask them to investigate the truth from twelve years ago?"
Just when Conan was talking about this, Uncle De also saw Cheng Shi's somewhat unnatural face in the rearview mirror.
"Ah, I guess so...... Hope, that's all, that's all......"
Eagle Arrow lowered the window, letting the cool wind pick up the hair on his forehead, and his eyes were a little sluggish.
"Could it be that there are other possibilities, young master?"
Looking at Yingya's obviously somewhat wrong face, Uncle De couldn't help but push his glasses and said suspiciously.
"When we were just talking, in her eyes, I saw a strong hatred and murderous intent......"
Takaya couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly as she thought about the way she said the name Hideo Kawashima just now.
"Killing intent?"
"Ah, if what happened to Keiji Aso was done by them back then, she did have reason to hate and kill them. ”
"And this feeling, young master, you should know best. Uncle De said.
"Ah, it's because of understanding that I don't want her to go down this path too. She is a doctor who should bring health and smiles to more people. ”
Eagle Ya looked at the scenery outside the window, slightly distracted.
"I am enough for those who have fallen into darkness......"
