Chapter 977: Moonlight

Lunaris Island.

This time, Kogoro Mori received the location stated in the power of attorney.

And the power of attorney also seems very strange, it is cut out and pieced together by the words in the newspaper.

'On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Lunaris Island, so please investigate the cause - Keiji Aso. ’

The strangest thing about this commission is that without waiting for Maori Kogoro to agree, the 500,000 yuan of the commission fee has been credited to his account.

Although several cases have been truncated by Xu Yue, because of the unstoppable aura of Conan, in fact, Maori Kogoro's reputation is okay now, but it is not as conspicuous as before.

Luna Shadow Island is a relatively remote island, belonging to the Izu Islands under the jurisdiction of Tokyo, but the environment of this undeveloped island itself is not bad......

......

There are not many people on Moonshadow Island, that is, there is a small village, which is full of a rural laid-back feel.

"Ahaha~ Officer Sato will come together, but it really enriches our boring itinerary. ”

After getting off the boat, Mori Kogoro patted Xu Yue on the shoulder with his unique laughter.

Saliva is automatically secreted, and it flows out unconsciously, looking like a pervert.

"The original ecology here is definitely rich in ingredients, and I will try new dishes for you with local ingredients. ”

Xu Yue smiled very sunnyly, which inexplicably gave people a sense of trust.

When he said the new dish, even the other guys began to swallow unconsciously.

A few people who didn't like the desire for tongue were stunned by Xu Yue to become foodies.

"Since we have accepted the commission, let's find out the client first, there are not many people in this kind of small village, in fact, we can just go to the village office and ask. ”

Xu Yue saw that several people seemed to have fallen into some kind of fantasies, so he also took the initiative to speak.

"yes, yes, that's what I thought, too. ”

Maori Kogoro, who came back to his senses, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to save a little face.

It's just that when a few people arrived at the Murakami office, they were told by the staff that there was no such person as Keiji Aso.

"I really don't have it, I can't check it, I'm also a newcomer, I can only read the record and speak, and I can't help it if you ask me like this. ”

The clerk said with a wry smile on his face.

But when he saw a man in a brown suit appear, his eyes lit up and he stood up

"Director, these people are looking for someone named Keiji Aso, but I'm really ......"

"What?!Keiji Aso?"

The man he called the director couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this name.

And Mori Kogoro also took the opportunity to tell the story of his acceptance of the commission.

"No way! This can't happen, because Keiji Aso died twelve years ago!"

As soon as this exciting news came out, Mori Kogoro, who was originally full of impatience, suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly.

I'm Cao~

It's hard to say that I accepted a commission to go on a trip, why did it suddenly become so terrifying.

Being invited by a dead man sounds oozing......

......

Soon, the group also learned the specific news from the director's mouth, Keiji Aso is a pianist who suddenly locked the family in his home after a concert twelve years ago, and died in the fire while playing "Moonlight" with the raging fire.

Originally, if it was a normal situation, this could be regarded as a prank, but it is clear that the commission fee has been paid in advance, so it cannot be treated simply.

And on top of the letter sent is also a stamp from Moonshadow Island.

"Maybe it's a friend of Keiji Aso, and I'd like you to investigate the cause of his death. ”

Because Xu Yue is here, I don't want Conan to rely on selling cuteness to prompt.

"That's right. ”

Mori Kogoro nodded approvingly.

"So it's better to find the village chief who has always lived in the village and is familiar with everything in the village. ”

"Well, I think so too. ”

"He seems to be working in the public hall, let's go ask for directions. ”

"Uh-huh, okay. ”

In Xu Yue and Maori Kogoro's 'one question and one answer', the subsequent direction was easily determined.

Then a few people came to the nearest clinic in the village and asked about the doctors here.

Asai honest 'beauty doctor'!

It has only been more than nine years, and the three major evil arts in East Asia have begun to exert their terrifying power.

Although Xu Yue is now fully capable of directly pulling him out and stopping him from committing crimes, it is obvious that this is not good for himself.

After glancing at him meaningfully, he followed everyone to the public hall he pointed out

"Now, when you saw the honest doctor just now, your eyes were straight, aren't you tempted? Actually, I think the profession of a doctor is also good, she looks very beautiful, and she can calm down to support such a remote place......"

Miwako Sato came to Xu Yue's side and started ideological work for him.

Xu Yue also felt a little helpless.

At this time, an election vehicle canvassing for votes passed by several of them, and it seemed that the village chief was about to be elected......

......

"What? Keiji Aso? This can't be!"

Tatsuji Kuroiwa, the outgoing incumbent village chief, and Hideo Kawashima, a candidate for village mayor who is also in the village chief's office, also had a look of disbelief on their faces when they heard Kogoro Mori's explanation.

The two who were supposed to be competitors glanced at each other inexplicably, and then the head of the Black Rock Village spoke

"Tonight is the third anniversary of our former Kameyama Village Chief, and we really can't spare time, so let's wait until the ceremony is over. ”

The words inexplicably brought the meaning of sending off the guests.

This reaction was not normal at all, and it easily aroused Conan's suspicions, and he also glanced at Xu Yue, who also nodded at him, as if he was communicating silently......

......

The former village chief seems to have a good prestige in the village, and he is originally from a small village and a villager, so there are still a lot of people in the village who come to the village for the third anniversary.

As outsiders, Mori Kogoro and his entourage certainly didn't want to participate in this kind of ritual, so they just stayed at the entrance of the public hall to watch the scenery.

And Xu Yue leaned on the pillar with a thoughtful look.

When Conan saw him like this, he touched himself and threw himself into the net.

While his face was being pulled, he said in a low voice

"Did you find anything?"

"A little, but I guess it has nothing to do with commissioning. ”

Xu Yue kept talking very casually.

"Tell me what it is. ”

Conan betrayed himself to please the other party just to get the news.

"This is the Izu Islands, and the location of Moon Shadow Island is a bit delicate, this public hall is still facing the Pacific Ocean by the sea, I walked around before, and the side door of the room with a piano opens next to the sea......"

Xu Yue said some inexplicable words, which made Conan a little unresponsive.

Then Xu Yue looked down at the little one and continued

"As a detective, you may be more sensitive to solving cases, but as a police officer, I found this to be a good place for smuggling......"

Looking up at Xu Yue's face reflected in the moonlight, Conan was also shocked.

The moonlight piano music echoed in my ears for a long time......
