Chapter 23: Asai Honesty
"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Lunaris Island, so please investigate why. The signature is Keiji Aso. ”
Conan was looking at something like the teaser letter, and Yuki Shirakawa leaned over to take a look.
"Really, how can you force others to do things!"
Kogoro Mori was a little depressed.
……
When they arrived at their destination, Moon Shadow Island, the group went directly to the resident registration office to find Keiji Aso.
Keiji Aso...... I can't find the name, it's weird. ”
It was strange for the staff to look through the resident register and find the name of the person.
"Please look carefully, there is a letter he sent me here!"
Mori Kogoro was a little anxious.
"However, it is not registered in the resident register. I've just been to this island, so I don't know. ”
The staff scratched their heads, a little helpless.
The director on the side came over and saw that Maori and his party had been staying here for a long time, and he was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
The staff saw that the director was coming, and hurriedly explained: "Director, these people said that they came here after receiving a commission from the residents of the island. ”
"Delegate?"
"Yes, it's a gentleman named Keiji Aso."
Hearing Keiji Aso, the director was a little frightened.
"What! Do you mean Keiji Aso? ”
Because of the excitement, the director's voice was a little loud, and the people around him also began to whisper after hearing the name of Keiji Aso.
"There's no way there's such a thing, because he, he's dead more than ten years ago!"
The director's words surprised the Maori family and Conan, except for Yuki Shirakawa.
"He was born on this island and used to be a famous pianist.
It happened twelve years ago, on the evening of a full moon.
When he returned to his hometown after many years, he held a piano recital in the village hall.
Unfortunately, after the concert, he suddenly closed himself to his home with his family, and also set a fire, and it is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife.
In the midst of the raging fire, as if entangled in something, he continued to play the piano. It is Beethoven's piano sonata - Moonlight. ”
After listening to the manager's story, the group left the registration office.
"It's a letter from the dead, what a bad prank."
Mori Kogoro was a little angry.
"Not necessarily, Uncle Maori, after all, who would pay you in advance for a prank!
I guess someone on the island wants you to help investigate this Keiji Aso. ”
Yuki Shirakawa reminded him loudly.
After discussion, the group prepared to go to the public hall to ask the village chief.
"Got it, Kenta? When you go back, you should have a good rest. ”
"Well, I see, goodbye."
On the way, they passed by a clinic, where a young woman and a child were saying goodbye.
"I'm sorry, but where is the public hall?"
Just as the woman was about to turn around and go back to the clinic, Xiaolan stopped her.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Yuki Shirakawa lowered his eyes.
Presumably, this should be Asai honest.
"It's after the corner in front of you, just go straight to the past.
Ah, are you from Tokyo? ”
After pointing the way, Asai was a little curious.
"yes, I came on the boat I just had."
Xiaolan replied.
Asai looked a little excited.
"I was born in Tokyo, too, but this island is different, isn't it? The air is so fresh and it's quiet. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of propaganda on the side.
"Qing Shui, Qing Shui Masato, please vote for Qing Shui Masato."
The embarrassment of capital letters in the air.
Asai honestly explained, "This is the exception, and the election of the village chief is about to be held in the village. ”
"Village chief election?"
"The candidates are Mr. Masato Shimizu, a representative of the fishermen, Mr. Kuroiwa, the current village head, who has recently lowered his rating, and Mr. Kawashima, the island's biggest asset.
The opinions of the patients are all voted for by Mr. Kawashima. ”
Asai honestly touched his chin and talked to them.
"Alright, Miss Nurse, we have no interest in the village chief election."
Maori Kogoro saw that she couldn't stop what she said, so he hurriedly interrupted her.
"I'm a doctor here, and I'm honest, and I still have a formal doctor's license!"
Seeing that he misunderstood, Asai honestly introduced himself.
"If you're going to the public hall, you can meet the three of them there, because today there will be a ceremony for the third anniversary of the succession of the former village chief."
Seeing that Maori Kogoro and the others were about to follow the path she pointed out to go to the public hall, Yuki Shirakawa hurriedly spoke up.
"Doctor Asai, I've been feeling a little sick lately, could you please take a look at it for me?"
After saying hello to Xiaolan and the others, he went to the clinic with Asai honestly.
Xiaolan and the others went to the public hall first, and although Conan felt a little strange, he didn't care very much.
"Can you elaborate on your symptoms?"
Entering the clinic, Asai asked honestly.
After glancing at her and making sure that no one was around, Yuki Shirakawa stopped pretending to be with her.
"Alright, Ms. Asai, or Ms. Aso?
I didn't feel uncomfortable, and I just asked you to come over to talk to you about Keiji Aso. ”
Yuki Shirakawa didn't go around in circles with her, and directly opened the skylight to say something.
Through the observation just now and zero confirmation, she has determined that the Asai honesty in front of her, or that Aso is actually a girl, and there is no such thing as a man pretending to be a woman.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Although Asai was a little shocked, he was not ready to admit it.
"You're the daughter of Keiji Aso, who found out that her father was killed and investigated incognito on Moonshadow Island.
After investigating the truth, prepare to take revenge with your own hands.
You sent a letter of entrustment to Uncle Maori before, but you also wanted someone to stop you, right? ”
Seeing her hard mouth, Yuki Shirakawa was not surprised.
Listening to the girl in front of him say her purpose, Asai couldn't help crying anymore.
"I just want to avenge my father, I'm really unwilling, how can I let them get away with it!"
"Why didn't you call the police? The legal appeal period is 20 years, and although 12 years have passed, it is still possible to seek legal help. ”
Yuki Shirakawa was a little strange.
"I don't have any evidence, I know that the truth was completely told by the previous village head, Isamu Kameyama, but after he finished speaking, he died of a heart attack due to excitement.
I don't have any evidence that they killed my father. ”
After saying that, Asai cried again.
Looking at the crying Asai honesty in front of him, Yuki Shirakawa was a little silent.
She couldn't tell her to give up revenge.
After all, she has killed a lot of people herself, and she is definitely not a good person.
"I won't stop you, you still follow your plan, I know you're going to kill yourself in the end, but I won't let you die, I'll save you when the time comes."
Asai was a little surprised, she was surprised that the girl was not ready to let her give up her revenge.
"Why do you want to help me?"
Yuki Shirakawa was silent for a moment, "Killing pays for life, isn't it?" All three of them are scum and don't deserve my sympathy.
But you're still young, your life has just begun, and you can't be ruined here. ”
After explaining to her, Yuki Shirakawa left for the public hall, but before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Asai to give her some throat medicine.
So as not to be suspected by Conan's little cub.
……
"Ah, Hauna, you're here, is your throat okay?"
After meeting with Xiaolan and them at the public hall, Xiaolan asked with some concern.
Yuki Shirakawa lifted the medicine in his hand, "It's okay, it's just a little problem, just take some medicine and you'll be fine." ”
Conan glanced at it and saw that it was indeed some throat-related medicine, so he didn't care.
