The strange letter was quickly left behind by Maori Kogoro, and he was busy with all kinds of trivial work of finding cats and dogs to check on Xiaosan......

It wasn't until three days later that a phone call suddenly came to home.

Bai Shu happened to be sitting next to the phone, and when he picked it up, he heard a man on the other side lower his voice and said mysteriously, "There are still two days left before the full moon night, and the investigation fee of 500,000 yuan has been remitted to your account, please be sure to come." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth to say the first syllable, Bai Shu reacted super quickly and pressed the record button, and then listened to the other party quietly without saying a word.

When a normal person calls a stranger, even if he doesn't report his home, he will at least "feed" as the opening remark, and few people come up and crackle and say a string of unclear information.

But Aso did just that.

Everything he knew about Kogoro Mori came from newspaper reports that one mystery after another had been solved.

From those reports, he knew that this was a detective who was good at reasoning, and knew about his strange habits when reasoning, but he didn't know anything about his character.

Therefore, in order to make Maori Kogoro willing to come to the door to investigate the case, Aso not only gave a lot of money, but also deliberately used the collage letter and this phone call to confuse his identity as a client, so as to attract the attention of the other party.

A detective who loves to solve mysteries will definitely be invited to the appointment. He thought with confidence.

However, after this well-conceived line was finished, Aso waited with bated breath for a long time, but the other party never said a word, more silent and confusing than him.

This eerie silence made Aso can't help but check the phone...... That's right, it's on!

Could it be that the phone is broken?

Aso was stunned for two seconds, forgetting to maintain the mysterious image for a while, subconsciously shaking the earpiece, and half-talking to himself, "Hey? Feed? Can you hear ME? ”

As a result, this time, the voice fell, and the other party actually spoke up, and the mouth was an uncomfortable calm tone, "I heard it, I heard it." That's it? I'm still waiting for you to introduce yourself. ”

“？” , Isn't the normal script supposed to ask you who I am in confusion, and I say "I'm Keiji Aso of Tsukage Island", echoing the previous letter before and after, adding mystery?

But what's going on with this calm tone! Can you follow the routine!

Aso wanted to flip the table, but the "Maori Detective" voice was younger than expected, and it sounded quite lazy, and at first glance it was impossible to tell whether he was interested in the case.

It seems that this is not the type that will be easily attracted to mysterious events, isn't it better to use normal routines to contact......

The slender index finger unconsciously circled around the spiral telephone wire twice, pulling back and forth, until the fingertips were a little numb, and he finally finished the entanglement and changed his formal tone, "Hello, Detective Maori, I'm Keiji Aso from Moonshadow Island, and this time I want to ask you to come to our island to investigate the case." I can't say the details of the case, but you will know when you come here. ”

"Okay, that's it for now." , Hearing that the scheduled lines were successfully finished, Bai Shu didn't waste any more time, and hung up the phone neatly.

He shouted to Mori Kogoro, who was napping at his desk, "Mori teacher, there is a business coming to the door, and the commission fee is 500,000 yuan, and it is said that it has been hit to your account." ”

“！” , The word 500,000 is like a needle, Maori Kogoro was poked up after rubbing it, picked up his coat and rushed out of the door like a gust of wind, the action was called a quick and decisive, and Bai Shu was stunned and didn't find the time to interject.

After a while, he got up speechlessly, walked to the window and looked, and saw that Maori Kogoro went straight to the convenience store on the corner, probably to find an ATM there and check the balance in the card.

…… Okay, this is normal Mori Kogoro.

……

Aso wasn't lying, he did transfer the account.

This can be seen from the dizzy state of Maori Kogoro entering the door, which is completely the vertigo brought by happiness.

His state finally gave Bai Shu enough time to introduce the situation, "The client's call just now, do you want to listen to it, I recorded it." ”

"Listen to it!" , Maori Kogoro nodded again and again, didn't use the white tree to move, and ran over to open the replay.

He is not the kind of person who takes money and does nothing, and when he came back all the way, he was also a little sober at this time: a lot of money means that this case is not simple, if the danger is too high...... Then you still have to find a way to push it off.

After listening to the recording, Mori Kogoro touched his chin and muttered, "Moonshadow Island and Keiji Aso, I seem to have heard of it somewhere." ”

Conan had been secretly observing for a long time, and as soon as he heard this, he ran back to the room, took out the letter, and handed it to Mori Kogoro, "It must have something to do with the letter I sent before!" ”

"This ah, ......", seeing this strange collage letter, Mori Kogoro always had an impression.

Now that the client has called in person and the money has arrived, he finally believes that this is not a prank by the bear child.

"Then ...... Go? ”

It doesn't seem to be a too dangerous case, and the person who called is quite polite in the wording......

After all, 500,000 is not a small amount, and the balance in Mori Kogoro's heart is gradually turning to the side with a slow but steady trend.

……

Lunaris Island, a lonely island surrounded by the sea, is so small that when you stand on the deck of the ship and look at it from afar, you suspect that if a wave passes, this small island will be submerged in the middle of it.

However, after stepping on the island, I realized what it means to be a sparrow, although it is small, and if you don't look at the vast sea water around it, it is like an ordinary small town, with all kinds of buildings, roads, and facilities.

Because the letters and phone calls didn't say what specific case they wanted to investigate, the first step after coming here was, of course, to find the client who called himself Keiji Aso.

Mori Kogoro looked at the map of the port, and with a group of people, he went straight to the village office on Moonshadow Island.

I thought that there were so few people on the island that it was easy to find someone, but unfortunately, they were received by an intern who had just been on the island for a few days and didn't know anyone.

After patiently waiting for the intern to check the list of villagers, the other party apologized and told them that there was no such person.

"What? Did you use a pseudonym? Maori Kogoro frowned, he has been a detective for so long, and there are indeed many clients who pretend to be mysterious...... This group of people is really underwhelmed, is there any case to say no!

The security guard in the lobby had been paying attention to these outsiders, and he felt that the atmosphere was not very pleasant at the moment, so he immediately came over, and he asked the sweaty employee who was being stared at in the attitude of taking care of his new colleagues, "Is there any problem?" ”
