15 people have been visited, but no results.

14:34.

35 people have been visited, but still no results.

···
17:55.

Mori Kogoro leaned against the wall, stretched out his tongue, panting, as if he was more tired than a marathon runner who had run tens of kilometers.

"This, is this the last three households?"

"First, take a break, I'm almost exhausted."

Mori Kogoro said with difficulty.

Edogawa Conan nodded with a serious expression.

After visiting for an entire afternoon, they did not gain much, and the key evidence was not found. Mao Lilan and Naomi Asai couldn't help but feel depressed.

"Uncle Mao Li, you are a famous detective, how can you give up lightly?"

Unlike Mori Kogoro, Fengchu's expression is still relaxed and calm.

Magic power can not only drive magic, but also slowly temper the body, so that a weak person, after years of tempering, can surpass the special soldier king in physical fitness.

"You, aren't you tired?" Mori Kogoro panted heavily.

"A little bit."

"Uncle Maori, the sun is about to completely set, so let's finish our visit quickly, okay?"

The corner of Feng Chu's mouth raised a faint smile.

"Okay! It must be done! How can a famous detective say no!"

Mori Kogoro immediately lifted his spirits, walked vigorously, and knocked on the door.

10 minute later.

The street lights beside the road came on one by one.

"Except for those villagers who left Moon Shadow Island to travel elsewhere, the rest of the villagers have almost finished visiting, but there is still no gain!"

Mori Kogoro said in frustration.

"how so."

Mao Lilan's eyes dimmed, and that pitiful look made Conan on the side feel very distressed.

"Miss Maori, don't be sad. You have done enough for me. Even if there is no evidence that Kuroiwa Tatsuji and the others killed my father, they can be punished for the anesthetic."

Naruto Asai, who has yet to avenge his vengeance, comforts Mori Landau.

"Damn it!"

Kogoro Mori looked at Narumi Asai who forced a smile on his face, and Ran Mori who was uncomfortable, and his mood became more and more troubled.

"There seems to be one place we haven't asked." Feng Chu said suddenly.

"Where?" Mori Kogoro asked suspiciously.

"Jiaofan." Feng Chu said slowly.

Jiaofan refers to the most basic police organization and the building where the police are located.

"Brother Fengchu is right. The police officer in Jiaofan may know something. The most trustworthy person on the island may be the police uncle."

Conan said in a childish voice with a cute expression on his face.

Therefore, Fengchu and others followed Asai Chengshi to the location of Jiaoban.

Lanterns on Moonshad Isle were lit.

Inside, an old policeman in a police uniform and reading glasses was sitting upright on a wooden chair, reading "Nichimai Daily".

"Mr. Police, do you know Keiji Aso? Did he leave anything here?"

After Mori Kogoro asked, he couldn't help shaking his head.

You know, this is almost the only person on Moon Shadow Island who hasn't been questioned. If he also says he doesn't know, the road to finding evidence will be even more difficult.

"Aso Keiji?"

"Keiji Aso..."

The old policeman put down the newspaper, adjusted his reading glasses, and after seeing Fengchu and others clearly, he began to meditate again, still muttering something.

Mao Lilan and Asai Chengshi both clenched their small fists and looked nervously at the old policeman, their hearts beating faster and faster, as if he was the life-saving straw.

"Oh, I remembered!"

"He did leave something behind."

The old policeman said slowly.

"Yeah! That's great!"

Mao Lilan was overjoyed, picked up Conan and spun around a few times, almost making Conan faint.

Feng Chu showed a smile that I didn't expect.

"Yes, what is it?"

Asai Shiromi clenched his fists, his extremely short nails sunk deep into his palms, his tense and expectant expression seemed to be accepting the trial of fate.

"I remember that everything in the house was burned, except for a stack of music scores in the safe, there were probably dozens of them."

"The music score is in the warehouse of the public hall, and the key is here, right here."

The old policeman said slowly.

"Quick, quick! Mr. Police, find the key!"

"The music score must be the evidence to denounce Hei Yanchenci and the others, hahahahahaha!"

Mori Kogoro urged with dancing.

But the old policeman was even more puzzled, and asked, "Reporting on Village Chief Heiyan, what's going on?"

"Old man, it's too late to explain, hurry up and look for it, let's talk while looking for it." Conan also said quickly.

"Oh, alright."

The old policeman acted immediately and rummaged through multiple cabinets in Jiaofan.

15 minute later.

While rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the old policeman said sympathetically, "It turns out that's the case. I think I might know where Ken Nishimoto hid the narcotics."

"where?"

Mori Kogoro and the others were shocked, and there was a joy of finding nowhere to go through the iron shoes, and the joy of getting it was effortless.

"In the place where the piano is placed in the public hall, since the death of Keiji Aso, there has been news that it is a 'cursed piano', which made the villagers panic and dare not approach it, but strangely, it was not burned again. it."

"Besides, I've been finding out that Hideo Kawashima and Kazuaki Hirata, the secretary of Village Chief Kuroiwa, secretly meet there in the middle of the night."

The old policeman opened the cabinet and said while looking for it.

After a few minutes.

The old policeman held up a key and said happily: "I found it! This is the key."

"Great!"

Mori Kogoro cheered and immediately followed the old policeman to the public hall.

Everyone was walking on the road. Although it was dark outside the street lights, everyone was full of light and hope.

Suddenly, someone in front blocked the way.

They are Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, Nishimoto Ken and Hirata Kazuaki, and three stout villagers.

Among them, Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo held a crossbow that was stringed in their hands, while the rest of them held watermelon knives that were half a meter long.

"You, what do you want to do?"

The old policeman's voice trembled a little.

Heiyan Chenji aimed at the old policeman with a crossbow, and said sharply, "What are you doing?"

"Hehehehe, you visited every resident on the island with great fanfare, asking Keiji Aso and whether he left anything behind."

"At first, I didn't take it seriously when I heard the news. After all, when Keiji Aso's family was burned, only teeth and other things were left to verify their identities, so I just sent a man to follow you."

"But what I never expected is that you guys still know about our sales of anesthetics, and that guy Keiji Aso actually left evidence to denounce us, and even has a son alive in this world."

"How amazing is this! How do you let me eat and sleep?"

Heiyan Chenji's eyes were fierce, he stared at Mori Kogoro and the others and said darkly.

Hideo Kawashima slowly moved the crossbow, and said darkly, "Throw the key over here."

The old policeman looked at the pale-faced Asai Naomi, hesitating.

hateful!They have crossbows in their hands!
Even if I turn on the elastic shoes and take advantage of it, I can only solve one, but how could they give me a chance!

The most important thing is that there is nothing to kick at the feet!

Conan's pupils constricted, his teeth were clenched, and he was thinking hard.

Mao Lilan was also caught in a difficult choice - even if she could escape, her father and the others couldn't escape either. What would happen if they hit the nail on the head.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and throw the key over!" Heiyan Chenji snapped.

The old policeman struggled in his heart, his expression was tangled, and he was about to throw the key over.

"Huh! Huh!"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing whistle sounded.

"Ahhhhh..."

Then I saw Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo taking a few steps back, fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and the crossbows in their hands were also broken.

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

There were five piercing whistles again.

Immediately after seeing the five people including Hirata and Ming screaming, their faces were twisted to the extreme, and then slowly knelt down.

The watermelon knives in their right hands also fell to the ground one after another, while their left hands covered their right shoulders, howling, as if they had been shot by bullets.

"Okay, it's settled."

Feng Chu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a confident smile.
