Chapter 519: Kudo, bear with me a little longer
Mori Kogoro rummaged through the inner pocket of his suit for a while before pulling out the brown paper envelope, and when he handed it to Sousuke Takaji, he didn't forget to say:
"This guy named Keiji Aso completely ignored my ability to accept the commission and called the commission fee without authorization. Hey, I used to make an appointment with someone to watch Yoko Okino TV series together in the evening, but now I have to miss the appointment."
"Dad, did you tell the other party that you weren't available tonight?" Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something and reminded.
Maori Kogoro slapped his head aggressively, and quickly took out his mobile phone to adjust it to the LINE chat box, and Fujiwara Yu, who was standing on the side, inadvertently glanced at it, and after seeing the nickname of the chat partner, his eyes almost popped out.
Because it reads: Tricolor dango hite, isn't this White's LINE account?!
The object of the dare to talk about it all night is Maori Kogoro? The corners of Fujiwara's mouth twitched, he really didn't expect Tokyo to be so small, which could also allow them to meet on the Internet.
He retracted his gaze and lowered his head to open the brown paper envelope, and took out the letters inside, only to find that the fonts on it were all typed out by a printer, obviously not wanting to reveal his handwriting.
[On the night of the next full moon, there will be shadows on Moonshadow Island that will begin to disappear again, please investigate the reason, Keiji Aso.] 】
Full moon? If I'm not mistaken, today is the 16th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the night of the full moon.
Does the meaning that the shadow begins to disappear mean that someone will die? Isn't this letter a crime notice?
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help frowning, he knew that it was impossible for Keiji Aso, who had been dead for twelve years, to send a letter to Kogoro Maori, who had only recently become famous, so who was this sender?
Is the soon-to-be murderer trying to provoke the detective, or does he know the truth about Keiji Aso's death?
Whether it is the former or the latter, Fujiwara Yu can be sure that Keiji Aso's death is not so simple, maybe the fire was not set by himself back then, but someone deliberately set it on fire and disguised it as *** scene.
He pretended to be unaware, and when he handed the envelope back to Kogoro Maori, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Did you send you the commission fee before you completed the commission? It seems that this man named Keiji Aso trusts Mr. Mori very much."
"yes, and he paid me 500,000 yen directly, and my previous commission fee was not that high at all. I also came to Moonshadow Island to ask me in person what I want to investigate, and by the way, I will refund part of the commission fee."
Although Mori Kogoro wants to make a lot of money, he also knows that private detectives are gray professions, and the previous investigation of extramarital affairs only cost about 100,000 yen per time. He is reluctant to accept such an order with a large commission fee, and he is also worried that investigating this kind of thing will lead to death, so for the safety of his family, he would rather only accept the kind of small commission that cannot make a few dollars.
It's just that he is a little puzzled - recently he has always been in his sleep to detect murder, which has led to a rise in fame, on the surface he is indeed very happy and enjoying, but there is still some fear in his heart.
Maori Kogoro is not afraid of his retaliation, he is only worried about Xiaolan, Eiri and this glasses little ghost who lives at home, if they have any strengths and weaknesses, he will definitely blame himself to death.
Fujiwara Yu glanced at Edogawa Conan and said suddenly:
"It just so happens that I don't have much to do, if Mr. Mori doesn't mind, can you let me follow me to the client?"
"That's fine, and I'm relieved to have Officer Eagle by my side!" Mori Kogoro agreed without even thinking about it, and even if something happened, he would be much more relieved if he had an adult by his side.
It takes four hours to get to Moonshadow Island from Rice Flower Pier, and due to the strong wind and waves, the boat swayed and caused Mori Kogoro to get seasick and take a break from eating.
Mao Lilan supported his old father, and complained while taking him indoors:
"Dad, I said that I would take seasickness medicine in advance, but you still don't believe it, now you know it's uncomfortable, right?"
"Xiaolan, I'm really uncomfortable...... Hmm, I want to throw up."
"Dad, bear with me, wait until you get to the toilet and then vomit!"
Fujiwara Yu leaned against the railing
Face, looking at the back of the father and daughter helping into the house, there was a shallow envy in his eyes, he turned his back to look at the fog that gradually appeared, and his expression looked a little lonely.
Maybe it's because he's older, whenever he sees other people's families happy, he will inevitably touch the scene, thinking of the picture when he was young, he was also so happy, and he also enjoyed his parents' care and love for him.
Edogawa Conan quietly glanced back, and after making sure that Xiaolan would not come back in a short time, he pulled the trouser leg of Sosuke Takashi and whispered:
"Brother Eagle Division, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Is that guy in Gray Plains making an antidote? Can you bring me one when you're ready?" Conan Edogawa's face is full of anticipation, and he dreams of turning back into Kudo Shinichi and wants to return to Teidan High School.
Moreover, only by turning back into Kudo Shinichi can he stand by Xiaolan's side again, instead of calling her Sister Xiaolan now.
Fujiwara Yu knew that Shiho Miyano was making the antidote in the basement of Dr. Asasa's house, and that she was still extracting the ingredients of Lao Baigan some time ago, and in order to make sure that there was no problem with the antidote, he also provided her with a batch of guinea pigs for research.
He knew that the antidote would be made sooner or later, but now was not the time to use it:
"Kudo Shinichi is not qualified to be 'alive', you should know this better than me, right?"
When Edogawa Conan heard this, his body couldn't help but be stunned, since the last time he accidentally drank the old white dry sake and briefly turned back to Kudo Shinichi, he was desperate to get back his old life.
But he forgot that it wasn't APTX4869 who really stood in his way, but the mysterious black-clad organization.
yes, how can Shinichi Kudo claim to be alive to the outside world? Even if the antidote is made, I can't eat it.
Seeing his disappointed expression, Fujiwara Yu squatted down and gently rubbed his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Kudo, bear with me, one day the police will uproot the organization, and when the time comes, I will help you reimburse you for whatever you want to confess."
In the first half of the sentence, Edogawa Conan was still nodding in agreement, although he was still a minor, he had already matured after experiencing so many things, and he naturally understood the truth.
It's just that when he heard the second half of the sentence, his whole little face turned red, and his speech became unfavorable:
"Stupid, stupid, stupid! I didn't even think about confessing to Xiaolan!"
"Oh?" Fujiwara Yu was like a cunning fox, he narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "I didn't seem to say who you want to confess to just now, right? Why do some people automatically think of confessing to someone?"
Edogawa Conan gritted his back molars and cursed in his heart: What's so great about adults who are in love, isn't it just that they were born ten years earlier than me? Bullying minors, stinky and shameless!
