Next, Mori Kogoro

Chapter 27 [027] Moon Shadow Island
Accompanied by the loud whistle, a ship sailed out of the sea fog and headed for the island ahead.

The sky was dark, perhaps because it wanted to rain, and there was a hazy mist floating on the sea. .

And because it was shrouded in thin mist, the looming island was also dark brown.

Coupled with the dark brown sea water because of its depth, this world looks extraordinarily oppressive.

Kogoro stood at the bow of the boat, leaning on the guardrail and smoking a cigarette, with a rare and serious expression, staring straight at the distant island, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just a week ago, he suddenly received a mysterious letter, which was made up of paper-cuts into a sentence: "On the night of the next full moon, on Moon Shadow Island, shadows will start to disappear again. Please investigate the reason——Aso Keiji."

From the moment he saw this letter, Kogoro knew that the most memorable case among all Conan fans, the "Tueying Island Murder Incident" had begun.

If there is a list of the most unsatisfactory cases in the world of Conan, this case is definitely at the top of the list.

Except for some LSPs with unique tastes, most people should just be unwilling.

How can a scumbag who has done many evil things get away with it for so many years?

Why did he commit suicide after avenging his family?

The most common people in the world will always be ordinary people, and it will always be ordinary people who suffer hardships.

"call……"

Kogoro took a long breath and threw the cigarette butt into the sea.

"Dad, what's the matter with you? After getting on the boat, your mood is not too high. Could it be that you and your mother quarreled again?"

Xiaolan's voice came from behind.

Xiao Wulang sighed: "Xiao Lan, Dad has something on his mind."

"What's on your mind?"

Xiaolan asked worriedly.

"Uncle, are you worried about the entrustment letter? No one has seen it, so it's really weird to remit all the entrustment fees first."

Conan seemed to see through everything, and said confidently.

"Conan is right, we are too poor."

Kogoro sighed again.

"???"

Conan had a question mark on his face, is what Kogoro said related to what he said?
"If it wasn't for poverty, how could we have worked so hard to come to such a small island just because of the commission fee of 50 yuan. If it wasn't for poverty, how could we come by this kind of broken ship. I originally planned to buy a yacht. "

Kogoro shook his head helplessly, with a face full of self-blame: "In short, I am useless. I didn't let you live a good life, daughter, you can stretch out your clothes and eat, and go out to the helicopter to go home and use the golden toilet."

"..."

Conan didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiaolan was also full of embarrassment, and after a while, she stammered and said: "I think this is very good, so I will treat it as a sightseeing trip."

After the ship docked, the three of them first went to the archives on the island to investigate "Keiji Aso".As a result, I found out very smoothly that Keiji Aso was a famous pianist, but as early as 12 years ago, after killing his whole family, he set fire to himself.

And when he committed suicide, he kept playing Beethoven's "Moonlight".

Then the three of them prepared to go to the village head's house in order to further investigate the matter, and then "coincidentally met" Makoto Asai, the only doctor on the island, on the way.

"Wow, she is a big beauty."

Seeing Makoto Asai in a white coat and ponytail, both Xiaolan and Conan couldn't help their eyes light up.

"It turns out that you are great detectives from Tokyo. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Makoto Asai offered to extend his hand.

"Honest doctor, it's also a pleasure to meet you."

Kogoro shook hands flatly.

"what?"

Conan frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.

"If you want to find the village head, the village head should not be at home, but should be at the public hall. Because today there is a Dharma meeting for the third anniversary of the death of the former village head Mr. Kameda, and all the famous people in the village should be there. "

Asai honestly said with a smile: "I happen to be going too, why don't I lead the way."

"That's your trouble, Doctor Honest."

Kogoro nodded.

Then a group of four people walked together, because they were both women (?), so Xiaolan chatted with Makoto Asai naturally, and soon learned from Makoto Asai that his former village chief, Isamu Kameda, died in the On the piano that Keiji Aso used before his death, the cause of death was heart paralysis. When the body was found, "Moonlight Song" was playing in the deserted public hall.

"Is it really a ghost?"

Xiao Lan, who can break a telegraph pole with one punch, expressed that she was really scared.

When the four of them came to the public hall, they found that there were many people protesting and demonstrating behind the door, shouting such things as "defend the fishing ground", "resign the current village head", "down with privilege", etc. The scene was full of joyful atmosphere.

"Sorry, it wasn't like this before, because it's running for the village head now, so it's a bit messy."

Makoto Asai explained with some embarrassment.

After passing through the protest crowd, after entering the public hall, Kogoro waited for a long time before seeing the characters involved in the next case, namely: the current village chief Tatsuji Kuroiwa, his daughter Lingzi Kuroiwa, and his fiancé Murchi Monday , Hirata Kazuaki, secretary of the village chief, Hideo Kawashima, the richest man on the island, and Ken Nishimoto, the villager.

For Kogoro's question, they are guilty of guilt, and naturally they don't have a good face.But Kogoro doesn't care, anyway, everyone is here, just wait for the good show to start.

Perhaps it was the death of the rabbit and the fox's grief. Heiyan Tatsuji and the others attached great importance to Kameda Isamu's third anniversary ceremony.But for their sake, many people came to express their condolences. Basically, everyone in the village came, even those who protested at the door before.

Soon night fell and the ceremony officially began.

The hall of the huge public hall was full of people, with the portrait of the former village chief Isamu Kameda at the front. A monk was knocking on a wooden fish and chanting something, and everyone fell asleep listening to it.

Kogoro, on the other hand, looked very energetic. Under the contemptuous eyes of Conan and Xiaolan, he sat down beside Reiko Heiyan very familiarly, and then... stretched out his hand to Reiko Heiyan's fiancé, Cun Chi Zhou Yi: "You are late for a week, right?" Right? Oh, what a good name."

"My name is Cun Chi Zhou."

Cunchi didn't intend to shake hands with Kogoro at all on Monday.

Kogoro didn't feel embarrassed at all, and put his outstretched hand on Murchi Yiyi's shoulder: "The young man is really handsome and handsome. Miss Heiyan Lingzi has a good eye."

Kuroiwa Reiko glanced at his fiancé with a shoehorn face, and felt that Kogoro was mocking him for a moment.

On the other hand, Cun Chi Zhou Yi's whole body trembled, and he desperately swung Kogoro's hand off his shoulder. The movement was so big that people nearby all looked sideways.

Sensing the strange gazes around him, Cunchi Zhou gave a cold snort to Kogoro, then turned his head and whispered to Reiko Heiyan, "I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."

"Exactly, one piece."

Seeing Xiao Wulang who followed Cunchi out on Monday with a stern face, Conan said to Xiaolan with some hesitation: "Sister Xiaolan, don't you think uncle is a little strange?"
