Conan, who had eaten in a hurry, finally found a reason to go to the beach and was given a short period of freedom.

At the end of the sea level, the moon rises and sets, and the sky is already dark, and the vague shadow of the full moon rises in the canopy that gradually turns to a cold color.

Conan, who had crossed the coast to watch the scene, realized that the night of the full moon mentioned in the letter was about to begin.

"You're here." As soon as Conan approached, Joker, who was standing on the edge of a high cliff facing the sea, took the initiative to say without waiting for him to speak.

"I'm coming." Conan, who had trotted all the way, was a little out of breath and slowly walked to Joker's side, looking in the direction of his gaze, "What are you going to tell me?" ”

What a cologne dialogue this is.

Tang Ze was a little amused, cleared his throat, suppressed his laughter and wanted to play with memes, and raised his hand to point in the direction ahead.

"Over there, there's a small floating island, see?"

"Do you mean over there?" With the last rays of blue light and the rising moonlight, Conan could barely see the small patch of vegetated land in the sea below, "as if there was no connection to the main island." ”

"Yes." Tang Ze turned his head and stretched out his hand to him.

"Huh?" Conan, who didn't know why, looked at the black gloves on his hands, not understanding the meaning of his sudden pose.

I really can't read the air, and this atmosphere is so mysterious.

Tang Ze shook his head for a while, and didn't ask for his opinion, he directly reached out and grabbed Conan by the waist, hung it on his arm, and clamped him as if he was carrying a cat.

"Hey, what are you doing...... Wow! Conan, who was firmly anchored, struggled slightly, and before he could ask Joker's plans, the violent weightlessness made him scream.

As soon as Joker pulled his scarf, the bright red fabric flew away, wrapping around a tall tree on the shore as he moved.

He shook the fabric in his hand vigorously, and the hook lock instantly tightened, shortened as quickly as possible, and took him and Conan in his hand into the air, and catapulted directly towards the lonely plot of land.

"Ling, you move like this, is it okay!" Moving at high speed, Conan shouted loudly against the knife-like sea breeze that kept pouring on his face.

What a strange way to move! It's even more outrageous than Kidd's glider, at least his glider is quite in line with the rules of physics!

And, what the hell is this scarf fabric of Joker, the place where they just stood must be dozens of meters away from that tree. It's too malleable!

Damn, I somehow feel that the retractable harness on my body has lost.

Go back and let the doctor think again!

Tang Ze, who didn't know that he had set off an inexplicable arms race, used inertia to control himself and Conan to fly over the sparkling calm sea, and the hook lock applied a slight force, and soon reduced his speed and landed accurately on the green land.

“…… You're all here. Some legs broke free from Joker's grasp, and Conan had barely stood up when he caught the sight of the other two members of the Bandits.

They were also wearing their own strange thief costumes - the one that appeared in the holographic game, and they were each guarding one direction, as if they were guarding other ships on the sea, and when they saw that it was Tang Ze who landed with him, they nodded and signaled, and continued to stare in their direction, without coming over to speak.

"As I said, where I am, the Monster Thieves will be there, and we will always advance and retreat in unison." Skimming over the question easily, Tang Ze raised his chin and motioned for Conan to keep an eye on the plant in front of him, "Look, what is that." ”

Although the moon had risen at this time, the afterglow of the surrounding sunlight had not completely dissipated, and by the cold glimmer of the moment, Conan could see at a glance the fruit falling at the end of the rhizome in front of him.

The spherical fruit hangs on the long flower stalk, and the flower disc with the split at the tip gathers into a circle of round teeth, which is green with the stem, creating a scene full of vitality.

The whole field is not full of fruits, occasionally a few bright flowers are dotted in a piece of greenery, stretching large petals drive the whole plant to swing in the sea breeze, the rich red still reflects the dazzling color in the faint skylight.

But its posture of slowly swaying in the sea breeze fell into the eyes of Conan, who had already recognized it, but it was like earth-shattering thunder.

"Poppies, poppies, ......" Conan, whose voice was trembling, reached out and grabbed a fruit and pulled it to his front to observe, and after confirming his judgment again, he let go of his hand like an electric shock.

Yes, Joker had warned them before they set off that there might be something to do with this place...... But Conan had only thought that this might be referring to Keiji Aso's death twelve years ago, or that the events that were about to happen on the island might be closely related to them.

However, this poppy field was swaying in front of him.

It's less than a hundred meters off the coast of Moon Shadow Island, and it would be too self-deceptive to say that this is just a wild flower field......

"What you said before, is it related to this?" Conan looked at Joker with a shocked gaze, "You say, on this island very close to Tokyo......"

Tang Ze nodded, looking around at this field, which was only half an acre in size: "I'm afraid everything is what you think." Aren't you asking what is so strange about Keiji Aso's death and what is about to happen in connection with it? I think that's where you're investigating. ”

Gestured to the ground under his feet with his hand, Tang Ze turned his head again and looked at the few wooden stakes on the shore that were obviously specially used to secure the boat.

"Hurry up, Detective-kun." Tang Ze said in a slightly suppressed voice, "I almost can't hold back the urge to burn all this ghost place and burn it to the ground." ”

"Conan, where did you just go?" Finding the child's depressed mood, Mao Lilan pulled him worriedly, looked back and forth around his body, and made sure that it was intact and there was no dirt, so he relaxed slightly, "Didn't you just finish eating, and you were so unenergetic?" ”

"Children are like this, they must be tired of playing and sleepy early." Mori Kogoro, who had no smoke to entertain, bored and bored biting a grass stalk and paddling up and down, spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and yawned loudly, "How long will it take for them, don't they really want us visitors to follow them to wake together, right?" ”

"There's no way, it's better to just break in like this." Looking at the venue where the sound of chanting faintly came from, Mao Lilan was also helpless.

The village chief seems to just don't want to see them, as if he wants to take this opportunity to get the detective away, but their reasons are right, and there is nothing better for them to do as visitors.

"Just wait a little longer." Raising his wrist to look at the time, Mori Kogoro sat back down, "Look, the moon has risen......"

Almost at the moment when his words fell—

The soothing, soft, flowing sound echoed through the hallway.

"Moonlight Sonata!" Conan, who had been hanging his head and had been thinking about Moonshadow Island and the drug problem, instantly raised his head and shouted loudly.
