"Doctor Chengshi, Doctor Chengshi!"

"Huh?!" Asai Narumi, who was locking the hospital, was slightly startled, and looked back at the person behind her who called her, "Oh, it's Yuuji." What's wrong, does your hand still hurt? ”

"It doesn't hurt Dr. Chengshi," the child with an innocent smile raised his hands in the air, "Mom asked me to bring this to you, thank you, doctor!" ”

Asai Narumi took the gift box he handed over and smiled: "Your mother is too polite, just a little bandage." ”

"But my mother said that Dr. Chengshi has the best skills, and she said that you are even better than those doctors at the Tokyo Hospital!"

“…… It's over. Holding the gift box in his arms, Narumi Asai smiled, "Let Mrs. Fujino pay attention to her body as well." ”

When the child ran away, Asai Narumi opened the box in his hand.

A scarf, clearly woven by hand, with a regular woolen pattern carefully outlining the brown and white checks.

Outside the cellophane is a handwritten card.

"Thank you for taking care of Yuji during this time.

As the weather gets cooler, you should also keep warm and take care of your body."

"Really, Mrs. Fujino is always so polite." Looking at the rounded handwriting on this small card, Asai Narumi wanted to smile, thinking of the purpose of his trip, but the expression on his face couldn't relax.

There can be no longer delay, the time he made with Hideo Kawashima is coming soon......

As the first target he chose, Hideo Kawashima, whose body had already been eroded by the color of wine, was the most convenient of the four to knock out and control, and if he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait a long time for the night of the next full moon.

With this in mind, Asai put his hands in the pockets of his coat and looked at everything in front of him as he walked in the direction of the coast.

Every tree, every flower, every pavement and masonry, every wall and dwelling here is something he has become very familiar with in the past two years.

The detectives who were invited to the group were not lying.

He prefers this place to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, and prefers this quiet and slow, time seems to slow down, and he can get to know everyone on the island, even every cat and dog, leisurely and carefree.

He guessed that his father thought the same way, so after he became famous and accumulated so much money, he still chose to return here.

However, as long as you want to understand what is behind this abundance and well-being, what is supporting it...... This illusory beauty becomes so disgusting again.

Those delicate and beautiful flowers watered with blood should not exist here.

How can a small island with agriculture and fishing mainly enshrine such a wealthy guy as Hideo Kawashima...... Isn't it worth wondering?

Hideo Kawashima has not only lived on the island for a long time, but is also actively fighting for control of the island with the current village head, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, where did he accumulate such a rich family business?

These suspicions, like tiny thorns, awakened him from his beautiful dreams as he had just relaxed his mind for the abundance and tranquility of Moonshadow Island.

Not to mention how the things that have formed the industrial chain are infinitely harmful...... Aren't his father, mother, and sister already victims of falling under the bewitching flower?

The thought of this made him feel a heartfelt pain, an urge to scream, to go mad, to burn it all up with a fire......

Are there innocent people on Lunaris Island? Maybe.

But can the flowers that grow in the land of sin, even if they are really harmless, be called pure? The infrastructure they enjoy, the guarantees that those bastards promise welfare...... How much of this is blood-stained money?

"It's become sentimental now." Passing through the street behind the community center, the blue coastline was already unfolding in front of him, and Asai Narumi took a deep breath, "There are so many righteous and awe-inspiring thoughts, I feel like a tragic hero." It's too hypocritical, Aso. ”

In the final analysis, he would choose such an extreme path, and the starting point was to seek justice for the tragic destruction of his family, which was still a personal vendetta.

The land of sin does not produce innocent flowers. He, sure enough, is also a child of Moon Shadow Island.

His emotion came to an abrupt end when he saw something on the shore.

I didn't see Hideo Kawashima as promised, but instead a card in a plastic envelope in the soft white sand.

"We have glimpsed a sad past, and we have foreseen a hopeless future.

Answering the call of the desperate, we arrived in the moonlight.

You may have heard our name.

Your enemies, we will keep them for you, but don't worry, we are enemies of sin, but unjust partners.

Your full moon night is just around the corner, and time is running out for you. Want to try our approach? We will wait in the moonlight."

Keep it for me......

Someone took Hideo Kawashima and said that the reason for taking him was for himself.

What the hell is this......

Looking at the red and black card in his hand, he traveled back and forth between Tokyo and Moonshadow Island every week, and was far less closed than the island's residents, and quickly reacted to something.

Thinking of the stories that were difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, he quickly became short of breath, and his trembling fingertips wiped away the damp mud behind the plastic seal, and turned over the sea-stained card in his hand.

The red and black logo with the top hat and the shape of fireworks flying on the paper resemble a playful smile.

"The Monster of the Heart's Thieves ......!" With a trembling voice, Narumi Asai excitedly said the name it represented.

————

"It's so slow, I've been waiting for so long." Mori Kogoro looked at the watch on his wrist, "It's just a candidate for village mayor on an island, and this group of people is too big." ”

"Dad, people are already busy with activities, and it was we who came to disrupt their rhythm." Maolilan patted him on the shoulder, "Wait patiently." ”

Maori Kogoro touched his inner bag again, and felt empty, the cigarette case that should have been lying there was no longer known which trash bin Xiaolan threw it into.

"Hey...... "It's a tasteless day...... Mori Kogoro lowered his hands and continued to sit on the stool, with an old monk's meditation-like heart like stagnant water.

"Huh?" Conan, who was also bored and waiting for Joker's message while playing with his mobile phone, suddenly caught a shaky shadow in the afterglow.

What's it, is there anyone over there?

He looked up at the end of the hallway.

There is a double door with glass installed, and through the glass window on the door, you can clearly see behind the door.

What's that? Piano?

Thinking of the shadow that had just flashed past the edge of his vision, Conan frowned, walked over directly, and carefully pushed the door.

The door, which was not even locked, was pushed open without hindrance with the small force he exerted.

"Eh, Conan, don't run around!" Mao Lilan, who was chasing after him, hurriedly grabbed him, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw something inside the door, "Ah, it's a piano." What a big house. ”

Conan's gaze swept over the piano, quickly scanning left and right.

It's strange, he just saw a figure, where did he go?
