Chapter 53: A Pseudo-Niang's Sonata Prelude
Maori Kogoro on the cruise ship had a cigarette in his mouth and muttered: "Really, you can go to enjoy the flowers, why do I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, have to go to that kind of island where birds don't!" ”
It turned out that the Maori detective received a commission letter, a person named Aso Keiji invited him to Moonshadow Island to investigate, the letter said "When the next full moon comes, shadows will start to disappear again on Moonshadow Island", and at the same time, there is also a commission fee of 5o million yen to the account of the Maori detective, if it weren't for the 500,000 yen, Maori Kogoro would not want to come all the way to the overseas island, everything is for the sake of money.

Xiao Lan, who was carrying a travel bag, said happily: "This is also very good, you can relax on the small island in the Izu Islands, isn't it, Ke Lan?" ”
"En~" Ke Lan nodded. After all, it is also a leisurely thing to have the opportunity to visit a small island in the sea. Let's go on a tour, I heard that this Moon Shadow Island is a quiet and beautiful place.
However, Uncle Maori's letter of entrustment is very strange! Why is there a shadow that disappears at the time of the full moon? Is it a code word? How does it look like a teaser! ..... I can't figure it out! I don't want to, I'll know when I get there.... Ke Lan looked at the endless sea and thought habitually.
......
............
Keiji Aso...... I can't find this name, it's strange ......," the staff on the island said helplessly to Mori Kogoro and others after looking for the name for a long time.
"Can you please look around again?" Kogoro Mori said to the staff member as he pulled out a letter, "I have a letter from him here." ”
The staff didn't take the letter, scratched the back of their heads and said, "I'm really sorry, but his name doesn't seem to be on the register, and I'm just coming to this island, so I don't know, I'm really sorry." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray suit with eyes walked up to the staff and asked, "What happened?" Kakuta. ”
The staff member hurriedly stood up and said, "Director, this gentleman said that he came here at the behest of the island's residents, and it is a gentleman named Keiji Aso. ”
"What? Keiji Aso?! ”
The middle-aged man known as the director looked frightened, as did the other people in the office hall who knew the name.
"How is that possible, this is absolutely impossible, because.... Keiji Aso.... He died more than ten years ago! ”
"Huh? ...... Can you tell us what's going on? Mori Kogoro and the others were taken aback, and then walked up to the director and asked.
"Please come with me." The director led Mori Kogoro and the others to his office, and then slowly explained what had happened.
"Keiji Aso, he was born on this island, he used to be a very famous pianist, it was a full moon night twelve years ago, after many years, he returned to his hometown again and held a concert in the village, but after the recital, he suddenly closed his home with his family, and also set fire, it is said that he also killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and he seemed to be entangled in something in the raging fire, and continued to play the piano, He was playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata Moonlight......"
Xiaolan hugged Ke Lan and whispered, "Ke Lan, it's so scary....."
It's just a ghost story that people make up, as for it! However, this soft touch, hehe..... was suddenly hugged by Xiaolan, Ke Lan thought to herself. But in Xiaolan's soft arms, it's really warm and comfortable!
Knowing the cause and effect, Maori Kogoro said a few words of apology to the director, and then took Xiaolan and them out of the office.
Sitting down in one of the island's parks, Mori Kogoro pinched his chin and muttered, "Well... It was a letter written by the deceased, what a bad prank. ”
"Uncle, it's not necessarily like this, because the other party has already paid the handling fee, and the postmark is also from Moon Shadow Island. So I think there must be someone on the island who wants to ask my uncle to help him investigate the matter called Keito Aso. Ke Lan on the side tilted his head and thought about it and said.
'It doesn't look like it's easy!' A letter to Uncle Maori should contain some kind of information. Full Moon Night..... Someone disappears..... Doesn't that mean that someone is going to die? ......'Ke Lan felt as if he had discovered something, but he couldn't catch it.
Hearing Ke Lan's analysis, Xiaolan also echoed and said, "Maybe it's a good friend of Mr. Aso, why don't we ask the village chief on the island, maybe we can find clues, what do you think, Dad." ”
Maori Kogoro also felt that since he received the money and didn't do anything, he couldn't say it, so he agreed with Xiaolan's opinion, nodded and said, "Okay, I heard just now that the village chief should be in the public hall." ”
Then Ke Lan and his party went to find someone to inquire about the way to the public hall, and suddenly a beautiful white shadow appeared at the entrance of the hospital in front of them.
"Tendon Tai, you have to take medicine obediently, go back and have a good rest, don't run around, you know?"
A cute little ghost nodded in agreement and said, "Thank you, Sister Chengshi, goodbye, goodbye." ”
The tendon ran away with a lot of bouncing. At this time, everyone saw the appearance of this young girl with a ponytail clearly, and Ke Lan couldn't help but marvel that she was a beauty, and she had a fight with Xiaolan.
Xiao Lan, who was standing aside at this time, immediately stepped forward to talk to her and asked politely.
"Sorry to excuse me. Where is the public hall? ”
"Oh, just turn left at the intersection ahead and go straight." The young girl with a ponytail pointed ahead. "My name is Narumi Asai. By the way, are you from out of town? ”
Xiaolan went up and replied, "That's right, we came from Tokyo and just came here as a boat." ”
With a ponytail, Serumi smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence, I was born in Tokyo." How about it, the scenery on this island is unique, it's great~ The air is fresh and it's very quiet. ”
Before she could finish speaking, an election van passed by, and the horn shouted: "For the good of the island...... Please vote for Mr. Masato Shimizu......"
Everyone was a little stupid, and Chengshi, who was wearing a ponytail, was also embarrassed, and said: "But this is an exception, we are in the middle of the general election of the village head, so it is a bit noisy these days......"
"Village chief election?" Mori Kogoro wondered.
Next, Narumi enthusiastically introduced several candidates, and Mori Kogoro and others listened to the gossip. At this time, Ke Lan suddenly felt that Cheng Shi who was smiling and talking was a little weird, it didn't feel so real, what was he hiding, was he thinking too much!
I don't know when it started, Ke Lan felt that maybe she had become a little girl, when she thought about something in her mind, she would be very clear and focused, and countless pictures were playing like a slideshow in her mind, and she could always find out the difference and the unusual from it.
Even if something doesn't happen, it seems to be predictable in the first few seconds of the start, for example, the last time, in the department store robbery. Ke Lan was shot and chased by the female robber, and at the moment when the female robber shot, or a few seconds ago, Ke Lan could sense the time, angle, range, and power of the other party's shooting..... and a series of subtle changes, so as to be able to accurately dodge bullets, it feels very mysterious, but it is the case.
......
..............
At this time, in the public hall, the current village head, Hei Yan, stood in the office and looked angrily at the people who were demonstrating and protesting outside the window, and said with an unhappy face.
"Really, can't we be quiet tonight when the former village chief's puja is held! A bunch of impudent guys! ”
The daughter of the village chief of Kuroiwa, who was sitting in the back, also looked unhappy.
"Those guys are really noisy."
Speaking of which, the daughter of the village chief of Kuroiwa looked at the village chief's secretary to the side and shouted.
"Hirata, what are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and shut up those people! ”
"Yes, Miss!"
The secretary of the village chief of Heiyan hurriedly answered, and then hurriedly ran out, it seems that the village chief's daughter is arrogant here, and it can make others so afraid of her, well, I almost forgot, these powerful guys are not good people in the first place, and it is a normal thing to have power and arrogance.
"It's going to be fine, it looks like your odds aren't good."
At this time, a man wearing a hat and sunglasses said as he walked in with his hands in his trouser pockets. As soon as he finished speaking, another well-dressed man walked in with a smile on his face.
"That's right, my odds are the best in comparison!"
"Humph!"
The village chief of Kuroiwa snorted disdainfully.
"That's just because you're more clever at using money!"
"Haha, I learned from you."
"That...... Village chief, someone is looking for you. ”
The secretary who ran out just now ran back and stood at the door and said, the village chief looked at him strangely.
"How could someone come to me at such a time? Who is it? ”
"Well, he said he was Mr. Detective from Tokyo."
Hearing that it was a detective, Kuroiwa was taken aback.
"What? Detective? ”
Several people in the office were surprised.
"Detective?"
How did the detective come here? Could it be that someone has discovered something? Or is it ......? Black Rock secretly exclaimed.
