The small cruise ship swayed in the wind and waves, arriving a little later than originally estimated four hours, and when the fog cleared, a peaceful-looking island was revealed.

Mori Kogoro, who vomited on the boat, recovered after stepping on the ground, he wanted to go to the vending machine next to him to get two cans of beer, but he was arrested on the spot by his own daughter, and before he could take out his wallet, he was escorted to the village office on Tsukikage Island, ready to find a client named Keiji Aso.

Maori Kogoro, who was being pushed, reluctantly walked into the village office, he didn't forget to tidy up his appearance, coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then strode to the front desk and asked politely:

"Hello, we are tourists who have just arrived on the island, and we are here to find the residence of local resident Keiji Aso, can you please help us find out?"

"No problem, I'll help you find it right away, sir, please wait a minute."

"Okay."

The male staff member turned on his computer, logged in to the resident system that recorded the basic information of local residents, and typed in the words "Keiji Aso" in the keyword field.

After seeing that the system displayed the words "This person's information has not been queried", the responsible person screened one by one, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no such person, he said loudly:

"It's strange, there is no such person on the island, sir, did you remember the name by mistake?"

"Huh? No, it won't." Kogoro Mori took out the letter of entrustment, covered the contents of the letter and left the signed part, and continued, "Is the name wrong? Please look carefully."

The male staff carefully checked the signature on the letter of entrustment, and after entering it into the resident system again, the feedback he received was still the same as before, and he frowned in distress and explained:

"Sir, it's true that the island's resident system doesn't record his identity, and I just came to work on this island last month, so I'll help you ask the others."

After that, the male staff member ran to the side and called a slightly older colleague, and after he explained, the staff member wearing glasses stepped forward and asked loudly:

"Who are you looking for, sir?" I'm a local resident of Lunaris Island, and I know almost everyone."

"That's right, I received a commission from Mr. Keiji Aso to come here......

Before Kogoro Maori finished speaking, he noticed that the bespectacled staff member in front of him staggered back half a step, and he blinked suspiciously, he didn't seem to have said anything scary, right?

"You—You're saying Keiji Aso entrusted you?!"

Fujiwara Yo, who was standing in the back, squinted his eyes, he was keenly aware that the expressions of the people around him had changed, not to mention the staff member who was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, and sure enough, the local residents of Moon Shadow Island knew about Keiji Aso.

The bespectacled staff looked at the visitors in front of them with a look of horror, full of disbelief:

"No, there can't be such a thing, because the person you're looking for died more than ten years ago!"

"What did you say?!" Mori Kogoro propped his hands on the table and said with a serious expression, "Can you tell us more about how he passed away?"

The bespectacled staff nodded, and he recalled:

"I remember that it happened 12 years ago on a full moon night, he was born on this island, he was a very famous pianist, and that day he had a concert in the village hall and when he came back he suddenly locked himself and his family in his house and set fire to it.

According to the recollection of those who rushed to the scene to fight the fire, he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and then in the raging flames, he was like a demon, and kept playing the same piece repeatedly, which is Beethoven's piano sonata "Moonlight Sonata"!"

Fujiwara Yo listened to the second half of the sentence with a solemn expression, he thought for a moment, recalling what he saw when he inquired, at that time there was indeed a description of Aso Keiji's family died in the sea of fire, but he had never heard of playing the piano in the sea of fire.

Besides, how could the person who went to put out the fire know that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and these contents were not described in the course of the investigation

Come out.

Where did the rumors come from? What is the purpose of rumor-mongering?

"I see, I'm sorry to disturb your work."

Maori Kogoro nodded politely to the staff and turned around and walked out of the village office, he looked at the letter of entrustment in his hand with a depressed face, frowned and said in an extremely dissatisfied tone:

"It's really speechless, it seems to be a despicable prank, causing me to go for nothing!"

"It's not necessarily like this, because he's already paid the full amount of the commission, and the stamps are indeed from Moonshadow Island, so I think someone on this island wants to ask his uncle to help him investigate the matter of Keiji Aso." Edogawa Conan said his thoughts in a child's voice, he didn't think that anyone would make a prank for 500,000 yen, not to mention the cost, and it was not interesting at all.

Maori Kogoro stared at the letter of entrustment in his hand and sighed:

"But now that the person in question, Mr. Keiji Aso, is dead, where do we start investigating?"

"Why don't you go to the public hall and find the village chief? As the village chief of Moonshadow Island, he should know a lot of things, and maybe he can know people who are close to Keiji Aso." Fujiwara Yu put one hand in his pocket and suggested in a loud voice.

"Well, that's all I can do."

Fujiwara Yu silently walked at the back of the line, he took out his mobile phone to check the information on LINE, and sure enough, White sent a message, which was a photo of Sotaro Goji getting off the boat.

[Tricolor Dango Hite]: Mr. Krel, the target has arrived at Moon Shadow Island on a private yacht and is currently staying at the Japanese-style inn called "Ushiyama", please give instructions.

[I don't want to work overtime today]: Continue to follow up, remember not to be discovered by the target, I still have some things to deal with here, so I will act separately for the time being.

Fujiwara Yu was just about to open the map to navigate to the public hall, when he saw Mao Lilan running quickly to a ponytail girl in a white coat and politely asked:

"Excuse me, do you know where the public hall is?"

"Just turn at the intersection in front of you and go to the end." After pointing the way, the girl in the white coat looked at the person in front of her who seemed to be the father and daughter, and said with some curiosity, "Is it difficult to say that you came from outside the island?"

"Yes, we're from Tokyo."

"Wow, what a coincidence! My hometown is also in Tokyo~" The girl in the white coat smiled and opened her arms, as if she was feeling something, and her tone was mixed with an inexplicable show-off: "But this island is different from Tokyo, it's great, right? The air is fresh and it's quiet."

However, the slap in the face came very quickly, and a van for the election of the village chief slowly drove past them, and the horn on the roof of the car repeatedly broadcast the election shouts:

"In order to protect the fishing grounds of our island, all the residents of Moon Shadow Island, please vote for Masato Shimizu, please vote for Masato Shimizu!"

"Actually, this island is usually quite quiet, isn't there a village chief election soon?" The girl in the white coat smiled awkwardly, and she stretched out her hand to the bulletin board for the election of the village head of Moonshadow Island on the side, explaining, "There are three candidates, and I heard from those who came to me to see a doctor that Mr. Kawashima seemed to have won this election."

[In view of the general environment,

Mori Kogoro tugged at the corners of his mouth helplessly, he was not interested in the village chief election, he just wanted to find the person who sent the commission letter as soon as possible, and return the hot commission fee to the person, so that he could take the night ferry and go back early.

He just wanted to interrupt, but who knew that the girl in the white coat said to herself again:

"If you go to the public hall now, you should be able to see the three people on the poster, because tonight there is going to be a ceremony for the third anniversary of the death of the former village head, Mr. Isamu Kameyama."

At the end, she suddenly noticed the purple behind Maori Kogoro, and saw the other party's appearance with a surprised expression, but quickly returned to normal, and continued:

"I forgot to introduce myself for so long, I'm Narumi Asai at the Moonshadow Island Clinic, and I lost my job first

Stay, I wish you all a good time."

"Well, thank you, Dr. Asai."

Fujiwara Yu raised her eyebrows, and her eyes fell on the back of Asai Narumi walking into the clinic quickly, always feeling that she knew herself, so why did she show such an expression?

And I always think this person is a little weird, but I can't talk about what is weird.

Forget it, let's keep an eye on it first, I don't know what will happen when I get to the public hall.
