"What's wrong, Dr. Sungsil?" Seeing that Dr. Narumi's expression was unnatural, Secretary Hirata was also a little flustered, "Do you have other things to do now?" ”

“…… Nothing, just a sudden sight of a celebrity, a little surprised for a moment. Dr. Narumi smiled shyly, and then took the initiative to approach Mori Kogoro and said:

"Hello, you can't be the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro', right? I've seen reports about you on TV before! ”

"Huh? Oh yes, that's me! I'm the famous detective, Detective Kogoro Mori, known as 'Heisei's Wise Kogoro'! ”

Maori Kogoro, who had been hit by Secretary Hirata's before, immediately became proud again at this time, but it didn't take long for him to think of his pale daughter behind him, and his newly raised head immediately wilted again.

"We'll talk about the details later. Now please take a look at my daughter, please, Dr. Chengshi! ”

"yes, I see. Then this young lady, please come with me. Dr. Chengshi smiled gently, and entered the clinic with Xiaolan, who was still a little vain in her steps. And Maori Kogoro and Conan also rejected Secretary Hirata's invitation, planning to stay at the clinic for a while to see how Xiaolan is doing.

"Then I'll quit first." Secretary Hirata apologized to Kogoro Mori, "It's the time of the change of village head, and I'm busy with my work. I'm sorry, Mr. Mori, but I can't stay with you. ”

"It's okay, go about your own business! I'll do my own research afterwards! ”

After saying goodbye to Dr. Hirata, Kogoro Mori took Conan into the clinic and waited nervously for Dr. Narumi's diagnosis.

"Don't worry about you two, I'm really fine." Seeing the nervous looks of the two, Xiaolan couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed, "Dad, you better go and get busy with work, just let Conan accompany me here." ”

After a while, Dr. Chengshi gave a preliminary diagnosis: Xiaolan is indeed fine now, and she can recover as long as she rests for a few hours.

Mori Kogoro and Conan, who had a false alarm, finally relieved and half-collapsed in their chairs and let out a sigh.

"I remember, Detective Maori, you're from Tokyo, right?" Dr. Chengshi quietly talked to Maori while packing up his instruments, "Is there any work in Moonshadow Island?" ”

"Yes, there is a troublesome case to be handled, and this time I was commissioned by the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate here." Mori Kogoro, who relaxed, revealed his purpose and disposition, after all, Officer Twilight also said that there was no need for secrecy in this investigation.

"Eh, the case on Lunaris Island?" Dr. Chengshi covered his mouth and exclaimed, "What happened here when I didn't know?" ”

"Well, that's a long story...... Anyway, there was a very troublesome guy who sneaked to Lunaris Island, but it's not entirely certain right now. By the way, Dr. Narumi, do you know Keiji Aso? ”

"Keiji Aso? I've heard of it, it's the suicidal pianist! But I only came to the island two years ago, so I don't know much about him. Dr. Sungsil suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and pretended to be at a loss.

"But I heard that the head of Kuroiwa Village was a good friend of Keiji Aso, so you can go and ask him."

Hearing the topic of the case, Conan on the side immediately lifted his spirits again, and the strong desire to explore in his heart burned again. After pondering for a while, he asked Dr. Chengshi in a child's voice:

"Big sister, is there any celebration here in two weeks?"

Hearing this strange question, Dr. Chengshi couldn't help but be stunned, but finally replied gently, "There will be no special celebrations in two weeks." If you want to enjoy the customs and activities of Moonshadow Island, you can come back in the summer, little brother. ”

"How so!" Conan feigned disappointment, "I thought there was something special going on in two weeks!" ”

"Huh?" Maori Kogoro raised an eyebrow, "You just want to play every day!" Two weeks later, there is no special festival, how can there be a celebration! ”

"But Uncle Maori, didn't the letter you received yesterday invite you to be here in two weeks?" Conan finally figured out, "The invitation asks you to come to Moonshadow Island on the next full moon, isn't that two weeks away?" ”

"If there's no special event in two weeks, why would they invite you?"

Maori Kogoro, who was prompted, suddenly sobered up, he put away his smile, turned his head and thought about Dr. Chengshi and asked:

"Dr. Chengshi, are you sure there will be no special activity on Moon Shadow Island in two weeks?"

“…… If you think about it, there was indeed a special event on the island two weeks later. After pondering for a moment, Dr. Sung Sung Shi replied, "But it's not a celebration that this little brother is looking forward to, but a ritual." ”

"Rites? Whose rituals? ”

"It's the ritual of the former village chief. Two weeks later, the night of the full moon coincided with the second anniversary of the death of the former village chief. The village chief of Kuroiwa is planning to organize a ceremony for him! ”

The death day of the former village chief? Conan and Mori Kogoro frowned at the same time, lost in thought. They recalled the secret invitation, and the fog in their hearts slowly lifted.

On the night of the next full moon, there will be a shadow disappearing again on Lunaris Island, could you please investigate the reason ...... "again"? Conan found the crux of the problem first, but because of his status as a child, he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only hope that Mori Kogoro would be able to perform at a super level as he did on the ship.

But apparently Mori Kogoro betrayed his trust, and after scratching his ears and cheeks for a long time, he failed to grasp the crux of the problem. Just as Conan was thinking about how to prompt, Dr. Chengshi on the side suddenly took the initiative to speak:

"Speaking of which, there is a strange legend about the death of the former village chief, there is still a strange legend circulating in the village!"

"The day the former village chief passed away was also the night of the full moon. It is said that Secretary Hirata was returning home from work that night and happened to pass by the community center, but he unexpectedly heard the pleasant sound of the piano in the center of the event, which was supposed to be empty. ”

"Out of curiosity, Secretary Hirata entered the activity center, but he didn't want to find that the former village chief was lying on the piano in the room, and he had died of heart paralysis."

"It is said that the piano music that Secretary Hirata heard that night was exactly the song "Moonlight" that Keiji Aso played before his death twelve years ago!"

After listening to this slightly terrifying story, Maori's clogged brain finally cleared up. He had a flash of inspiration in an instant, and his mouth was silently reading the contents of the invitation.
