As the sun went up, the Metropolitan Police Department's ship landed steadily on the shore of Moon Shadow Island. The people who were already feeling a little tired disembarked one after another, and the residents of Lunaris Island who had come to greet them had been waiting on the dock for a long time.

Seeing the police officers who had disembarked one after another, the staff of Moon Shadow Island hurriedly greeted them. At the head was a bespectacled young man, who looked to be in his twenties or thirties, slightly obese, and had a square face with a somewhat restrained look.

"Welcome, officers." The man nodded and said, "My name is Kazuaki Hirata, and I am the secretary of the current village chief. I have been entrusted by the village chief of Kuroiwa to greet you. ”

In the face of the other party's warm etiquette, Officer Twilight and Officer Nakamori were a little unnatural. They greeted each other politely, and then took the initiative to show their documents in accordance with the system.

"I'm the police department Twilight of the Search Division 1, and this is the police department Nakamori of the Search Division 2. This investigation on Lunaris Island will be our sole responsibility. ”

"Oh, and this one. This Mr. Maori is a detective specially hired by our Metropolitan Police Department, and he will also operate with us this time. Officer Twilight gestured to Mori Kogoro to the side. The latter was tired from seasickness at this time, but he still refused to let go of this opportunity to be in the limelight, and forced his spirit to hold up his rather thick chest.

But to his disappointment, Secretary Hirata on the other side didn't seem to have heard of his famous name, and he could only see a blank look on his fat face.

The boring Maori Kogoro could only awkwardly step aside, causing Conan next to him to secretly laugh.

Behind Secretary Hirata was an old police officer with gray hair, who was about sixty years old, with a fairly tall figure and a happy smile on his face.

"Hello two officers! I'm a police officer at the Moonshadow Island Police Station. I've been a police officer on this island for decades, and I know this place inside and out, so you can come to me if you need anything in your investigation! ”

"I see, then I'm going to ask you for a lot of advice, old man." Officer Twilight first said politely, and then immediately began to ask the old police officer about business:

"Sir, may I ask about Keiji Aso's dossier and his personal relics, have you sorted them out now?"

"Well, what's this...... Because it was already a case from twelve years ago, it was a little difficult to sort it out. After all, I'm the only police officer on Lunaris Island......"

Didn't you just say that you knew everything about the island? Several people present were speechless for a moment, but out of politeness, no one reprimanded the old policeman.

Officer Twilight instructed several of his men to follow the veteran cop and help him gather dossier information about Keiji Aso's case. This time, their main task in the search lesson was to investigate Keiji Aso's case, and the search and defense against the Phantom of the Strange Thief was in charge of the more experienced Ginzo Nakamori.

After a brief meeting, the group split into two groups, and the Metropolitan Police Department followed the veteran police officer to the police station on Moonshadow Island to prepare. The Mori family got into Secretary Hirata's car and went to the village to investigate.

"Sister Xiaolan, what's wrong with you?" Conan looked at Xiao Lan, who was sitting in the back of the car with him, leaned back with some concern, and looked up at Xiao Lan's face, "Your face looks very bad." ”

"It's nothing, I'm just a little seasick." Xiaolan lay on the seat and squeezed out a smile a little reluctantly, "I'll be able to recover my spirit in a while." ”

Maori Kogoro, who was in the front seat, also turned around at this time and looked at his daughter's somewhat pale face worriedly:

"You can't hold on, Lan. Secretary Hirata, is there a clinic in the village? Can I take my daughter to the clinic for a while? ”

"Okay, the clinic isn't too far from here, it's a short walk along the road. Speaking of which, Dr. Narumi at the clinic is from Tokyo just like you, so maybe you can talk to each other! Secretary Hirata also gradually let go of his hands and feet at this time, not as reserved as when he met with the two police officers just now, and he still had the heart to chat with the Maori family during the drive.

The car moved away from the pier and gradually drove into the village on the island. The streets of the village are not particularly wide, but the two rows of buildings on the left and right are neatly aligned, and the natural environment can be called fresh and quiet.

"Although our Moon Shadow Island is not famous, the residents of the island rely on agriculture and fishing, and their lives are considered rich." Secretary Hirata enthusiastically introduced the Mori family, "Not far in front of me is the village community center, which is a good place for the villagers to relax and have fun......

But before Secretary Hirata could finish speaking, a huge procession rushed from the other end of the street. The marchers held large and small signs, waved their fists and chanted a uniform slogan:

"Down with the tyranny of the current village chief! Stop the encroachment on farmland! Give me back the fishing grounds! ”

Secretary Hirata rolled up the window in embarrassment, but the slogans shouted by the procession had already entered the car, and the Maori family could hear it clearly.

"Hehe, the villagers occasionally feel a little dissatisfied." Secretary Hirata wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I hope it didn't disturb everyone's interest." ”

"It's okay, we weren't here to visit." Mori Kogoro replied, "But Secretary Hirata, are the slogans shouted by these villagers true?" ”

“…… I don't really know. After all, it happened to be the election of the new village chief recently, and it is normal to have all kinds of true and false news. By the way, there's the Moonshadow Island Clinic in front of you! How about we get off there first? ”

Although Maori wanted to continue to ask, considering his daughter's physical condition, he kept his mouth shut for the time being and got out of the car with Secretary Hirata.

Conan didn't have the heart to decipher at this time, so he carefully helped Xiaolan, who was not in good health, to get out of the car, and followed Mori Kogoro to the Moonshadow Island clinic on the street.

In front of the clinic, which is not too large, there is a tall female doctor standing at this time. She was staring at the procession in the street, her pretty eyes twinkling slightly, as if she was a little distracted.

"Dr. Sungsil!" Secretary Hirata greeted warmly, "Are you free now?" One of my guests is feeling unwell right now, could you please come and take a look at it? ”

Dr. Sungsil heard the cry and hurriedly came back to his senses. She beckoned to Secretary Hirata, who was approaching, and motioned for him to come with someone.

But when she saw Maori Kogoro following behind Secretary Hirata, her beautiful and delicate face suddenly showed a little unnatural surprise.
