Chapter 125: Invitation to Moon Shadow Island
Under the effects of tetrodotoxin, the dealer only felt that his body was gradually being hollowed out.
It's as if someone has pulled the data connection between his brain and his body, and his body is there, but he can't feel it.
This strange and indescribable feeling of near-death made this vicious gangster become like a corpse on the dissecting table, and confided his heart to Lin Xinyi without concealment.
Lin Xinyi seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked, "Who are you from?" ”
"We're not at home, we're suppliers."
"In order to save unnecessary distribution costs and avoid the risk of exposure caused by a bloated and large sales network... We are all... It is the direct docking between the manufacturer and the terminal seller, so that the middleman does not make the difference. ”
The guy replied in a pale face.
"Hey, pretty professional."
"That is, our brand has been in Tokyo for more than ten years, an old ingenuity enterprise and an invisible champion."
"You're proud?!"
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but slap the door of this thing's head to help promote blood circulation in his brain:
"Say it! Who's your boss? ”
"Where is the stronghold, where do the goods come from, and where are they stored?"
"Lunaris Island... Our stronghold is on Lunaris Island. ”
"The goods are all shipped from overseas, and Moonshadow Island is not far from Tokyo... It has long been used as a distribution center for storing imported goods from overseas and selling them in batches to Tokyo. ”
As tetrodotoxin continued to spread in his body, the guy felt more and more difficult to breathe, and his muscles were paralyzed, as if he was going to choke at any moment.
Under this fear, he shook off the location of his nest in one go.
Then, without waiting for Lin Xinyi to urge, he continued to break the news in a panic:
"Our boss... It's the village chief of Moon Shadow Island, Tatsuji Kuroiwa. ”
"There is another owner in charge, the owner of the island, Hideo Kawashima."
"There used to be two bosses, the former village head Isamu Kameyama, who died of a heart attack two years ago."
"Another Mr. Ken Nishimoto, who quit business management two years ago, is still on Moonshadow Island."
The peddler knows everything, and he says everything.
And Lin Xinyi was slightly shocked by the terrifying news confessed by this guy:
"The village chief and the entrepreneurs in the village are the heads of the selling group, and they have been doing business for so many years."
"This Moonshadow Island... The problem is terrible. ”
"I have to report this to the Metropolitan Police Department as soon as possible."
Thinking that there was such a large nest of harmful bedbugs living in the sea off Tokyo, Lin Xinyi's expression was very solemn.
And the peddler, with his mouth open with all his might, said to him:
"I've said everything I need to say... Help, save me..."
"Saved me... I can be an informant for the police and help... Help you catch my boss! ”
"Otherwise... If I don't help cover up, the Moon Shadow Island side will definitely know that this transaction has happened and become vigilant. ”
I can't move my whole body, only my brain can move, which makes this guy's brain become flexible.
He positioned himself very well:
Since they have already sold the boss, and the boss knows that he will definitely die, it is better to sell it thoroughly.
offered to help cover up, hide from the boss, and assist the police in breaking off the nest, and he could go from a dispensable minion to a very important chess piece for the police.
If Lin Xinyi doesn't save him now, it will be detrimental to the future investigation.
"You're pretty smart."
Lin Xinyi couldn't help but glance at this miscellaneous fish.
Then, under the greedy gaze of the peddler, he smiled lightly:
"Okay, I'll give you the antidote now."
As he spoke, Lin Xinyi took out his mobile phone and dialed the emergency number:
"Hello? Is it Rice Flower Hospital? ”
"Please send an ambulance to the Rice Flower Library, the patient is suffering from puffer fish poisoning and has symptoms of poison."
“???” A string of question marks popped up in the peddler's eyes:
Why call an ambulance? What about the antidote?
"The ambulance is the antidote, you wait slowly!"
"Don't worry, you can't die-"
"After the rescue is over, remember to cooperate with the police investigation as you said."
Lin Xinyi left a playful and indifferent smile, then turned his head away and ignored him anymore.
''You... You—" The peddler was so angry that he wanted to curse, but his voice had become hoarse and weak, and he could no longer speak.
Lin Xinyi knew that it was tetrodotoxin at work, which paralyzed his vocal cords.
He collapsed to the ground in despair, struggling to breathe in the air that was getting harder and harder to breathe.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin Xinyi?"
Mao Lilan glanced cautiously at the vendor who looked like he was about to hang up:
"Are you really not going to save him? He seems to be dying..."
"It's okay, he's not dying that easily."
Lin Xinyi had no intention of saving people at all.
He lowered the dose of tetrodotoxin in the poison needle, which should not be poisonous.
At the very least, it's absolutely fine to hold out until the ambulance comes.
And if that guy's life is hard enough and his body is good enough, maybe he will be able to recover after lying down for a while.
Of course...
It may be against professional ethics for him to stay on the sidelines and treat him coldly.
After all, doctors should not turn a blind eye to a person in dire need of help.
But the peddlers are not people.
With such an idea, Lin Xinyi could naturally stand by and watch that guy suffer, and he couldn't feel any guilt in his heart.
"That's right, Miss Maori."
Lin Xinyi specially instructed:
"I'm staring here, you go find Director Tsugawa upstairs."
"Don't let that guy get away!"
"Hmm!" Mao Lilan nodded earnestly.
She also thought that there was still a villain who had not been caught, and after entrusting Conan to Lin Shinichi's care, she immediately left to find Director Tsukawa, who was still in the library.
At this moment, another roar of engines sounded outside the library.
When I looked out of the voice, it was the police who Lin Xinyi had called the police before.
There are a large number of policemen who have arrived at this moment, and the director of Tsukawa, who is still trapped in this building, is definitely unable to escape.
This thrilling library trafficking case ended successfully without danger.
Lin Xinyi was not in a hurry to hand over to the police who arrived, but stood aside and carefully observed the appearance of the peddler's difficult breathing, in case this guy was really unlucky and hung up.
And at this moment...
Conan shook his red and swollen head, leaned over to Lin Xinyi, and said with a serious expression:
"Lin, I have a very important clue here."
"Clues?" Lin Xinyi's face froze:
"Bastard, you just saved your life, and now you're playing reasoning here again?!"
"I warn you, if you die like this again, I'll..."
He wanted to say something cruel to Conan, but he didn't know what to say after thinking about it for a long time.
After all, this hard-headed detective can't even care about his own life when he makes a mistake, what else in this world can threaten him?
"Alas..."Lin Xinyi was helpless and had a headache, and in the end he could only take the emotional route:
"Conan, I appreciate your sense of justice."
"But before you become a superhero, can you think about the people around you?"
"Miss Maori and I were almost killed by you this time - neither of us had ever actually faced a gun before, and this time we were held to the head because of your recklessness."
"You make it clear to me now, do you want your sister Xiaolan to help you block the gun a few times in the future before you are satisfied?"
"I—" Hearing these words, Conan was already extremely ashamed.
But shame is shame ...
There are some very important clues that must be said:
"Lin, there are really clues this time, very important clues!"
"Dr. Asasa noticed it yesterday when he was helping me clean my mailbox:"
"I, 'Shinichi Kudo' to be exact, recently received a very strange invitation."
"And that invitation was sent from Lunaris Island!"
Afraid that he would be scolded again and couldn't speak, Conan came directly to answer.
"An invitation from Lunaris Isle?"
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi really didn't dare to continue scolding:
Moon Shadow Island is the distribution base of the goods that the dealer has just supplied.
Send a mysterious invitation from this Moon Shadow Island, or send it to a great detective like Shinichi Kudo... It makes people have to think about it.
"Who sent it? Why was it sent to you? ”
"It was sent by a person named Keiji Aso, as for why it was sent..."
"I'm also a detective, and there are quite a few people who invite me to various activities."
Although Kudo Shinichi has been "retired" for a while, he is still the leading figure in Tokyo's detective scene.
And Maori Kogoro, who should have risen, because the recent cases have basically been solved by the forensic team led by Lin Shinichi...
So not only did he not rise, but he also fell to the point where he had no daughter to take care of him and needed to rely on instant noodles to make a living.
Now when it comes to Tokyo's famous detectives, it's Shinichi Kudo who has the most faces.
Even, after the rumor that Kudo Shinichi was the monster thief Kidd spread, his fame was even greater than when he was active.
If someone wants to send an invitation to a detective, they will still choose to send it to the Kudo Mansion.
"This invitation is indeed a little different, because when the other party sent me the letter, he also sent me 500,000 yen in cash directly by email."
"But the way I am now, it's impossible to be invited, so I don't pay much attention to it."
"But now it seems that the object is from Moonshadow Island, and the invitation is also from Moonshadow Island... I'm afraid this invitation is not as simple as I thought. ”
Conan said this somewhat strange thing with a solemn expression.
"What exactly is on the invitation?" Lin Xinyi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The next full moon night, on the island of Moon Shadow, the shadows will begin to fade, please come and investigate."
"—Keiji Aso."
Conan slowly read out the contents of the invitation:
"There's only so much to say about the invitation."
"There are not enough clues, and I don't know the specific meaning of this invitation."
"The shadow will begin to fade..."Lin Xinyi silently recited several times with a solemn expression.
Then, he said categorically:
"I'm afraid this is a murder notice."
"Huh?" Conan was a little puzzled: "Where did you see it, how can you be so sure?" ”
"Uh..."
Lin Xinyi looked at the unaware detective with a strange expression:
"Because of you."
"Since this matter has something to do with you, then it must be dead."
.........................
PS: The second one will be sent later.
I felt that there was a problem with the plot writing, so I decided to reverse it and start over.
