Compared to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Tsukiying Island is a remote island that is equivalent to a rural place. It does not have any special tourism resources because there are very few people coming and going, and there is only one ferry to transport it back and forth every day.

There are only about a dozen passengers on the boat, most of them are residents of the island. There are only three or four tourists like Kitahara Sosuke, and among them there is a pair of sticky lovers. Although Kitahara Sosuke does not understand the art of disguise, but

Wearing a wig, sunglasses and a mask, it is enough to disguise yourself a little so that you are not easily remembered or recognized.

After all, this is the world of Ming Ke. Conan puts on a pair of black-rimmed glasses and can perfectly distinguish himself from his childhood self; Kidd puts on a monocle and recognizes his childhood sweetheart and his future father-in-law face to face.

It doesn't come out. In contrast, Kitahara Sosuke's disguise is already very careful. As long as he doesn't meet a famous detective, ordinary people will never recognize him.

The ferry was very quiet, there was no Maori family, no Shinigami primary school students, and of course no murders. The journey to Moon Shadow Island was very peaceful.

This island is small in size, but has quite a variety of facilities. Compared with modern cities like Tokyo that are full of car exhaust, the air on the island seems very fresh, but it is a bit noisy.

"In order to protect the island's fishing grounds and the rights of the islanders, please support the people's spokesperson - Masato Shimizu! Please give me a vote!"

A car equipped with a loudspeaker roared past Kitahara Sosuke, making his eardrums seem to buzz.

"Excuse me..." Kitahara Sosuke bought a bottle of water at the store, pointed to the horn car that had already driven away, and asked: "Is this... the election?"

"Yes, the village chief election is coming soon, and I have been feeling uneasy like this lately!" the store manager complained with some sadness.

"Is the people's representative Shimizu Masato?" Kitahara Sosuke opened the water bottle and took a few sips, shrugged and said: "To be honest, if someone is so noisy in my ears every day, even if I support him, I will still want to vote for him.

Someone else."

"Others may not be such good choices!" the store manager said, shaking his head.

"oh?"

"There are three candidates in total." Faced with Kitahara Sosuke's attentive listening attitude, the store manager said confidently: "In addition to the fisherman representative Shimizu Masato just now, there are also the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji and

Rich man Hideo Kawashima. If you walk a little further into the village, you can see a demonstration protesting against the mayor of Kuroiwa Village. So the one who has the loudest voice now is Hideo Kawashima, the richest man on the island. He was there two days ago.

Giving gifts door to door! But..."

The store manager shook his head and said: "I don't like that kind of guy who only uses money to buy people's hearts. If he really becomes the village chief, the tranquility of our village may no longer exist, right?"

"Oh..." Kithara Sosuke smiled, "I haven't graduated yet! I don't know much about these things. Since these three people are not good, why not choose someone else?"

"Oh, it's not that simple!" the store manager sighed, not wanting to say anything more to this young man with little knowledge.

Kitahara Sosuke walked for a while in the direction mentioned by the store manager, and sure enough he saw a large group of people blocking the outside of the community activity center with righteous indignation, shouting rhythmically:

“Down with the current village chief’s brutality!”

“Stop the encroachment on farmland!”

"Give me a clean fishing ground!"

Kitahara Sosuke thought about it. Most of the income of the residents of this island depends on fishing and farming. Looking at it this way, the current village chief has offended almost everyone. This kind of person can really be elected.

?

In other words, the fact that he is one of the three candidates shows that this person has considerable power.

Afterwards, Kitahara Sosuke went to see Kawashima Hideo again - he was about to do something for the former village chief, and the election of the village chief was also at a critical moment. Eight out of ten people he met on the road were discussing these three people.

, Kitahara Sosuke found the whereabouts of the three of them without asking any questions.

By the way, he also went to see the avenger named Narumi Asai. Even if he looked at it with preconceived ideas, he felt that this man's disguise as a woman was perfect. Anyway, he never saw that it was

a man.

However, this is not important.

Although Kitahara Sosuke came here to save Aso, he did not need to let him know this. A kind-hearted and clean person only needs to keep this kind and clean. Knowing too much will make it worse.

He fell into the devil's path.

The funeral ceremony of the former village chief Kameyama Isamu is tomorrow, and Conan and his party should also take the ferry to the island tomorrow. So before that, he has to complete the task. Otherwise, what will happen when the kid lands on the island and is shrouded in the halo of death?

It's hard to say.

……………………

At night, the moon was shrouded in clouds, and except for a few streetlights still emitting light, the rest of the island was pitch black.

Kitahara Sosuke changed into black clothes, put on a black mask, pulled up his hood, and quietly left the hotel where he lived.

"Bang bang bang!"

Kuroiwa Tatsuji, who was already getting ready to sleep, heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"

There was no answer from outside the door.

He didn't think much about it, thinking that it was his daughter or secretary who was looking for him. After all, his home was not open to outsiders. After opening the door casually, he found that there was no one outside, except for an unsigned letter on the ground.

of paper.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji frowned, leaned over to pick up the note, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed!

Ten minutes later, Kuroiwa Tatsuji changed into clothes for going out and hurried out without even bothering to say hello to his family.

Twenty minutes later, Takeru Nishimoto, who was once a member of the drug gang and one of the murderers of Keiji Aso, turned pale and evadedly walked toward the beach.

After another half an hour, the village chief's secretary, Hirata Kazaki, who was also involved in drug trafficking, hugged his briefcase and nervously left in the same direction.

Ten minutes later, Hideo Kawashima, who was also tightly wrapped, left the house with an ugly face and a huge travel bag in his hand.

……………………

Kitahara Sosuke found the best observation position at the predetermined location, installed the camera in advance, and then sat down casually.

Tonight will be a sleepless night.

The hands of the watch rotated at a constant speed, and time passed quietly.

Not long after, Kuroiwa Tatsuji arrived. There was a huge satchel on his back, and he was still looking left and right as he walked over, observing the terrain.

"Hey, I'm already here, where are you?" Kuroiwa Tatsuji shouted softly.

However, no one responded to him.

"Didn't he come here yet?" Kuroiwa Tatsuji frowned and said to himself.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly pushed aside the bushes and got in, then turned off the flashlight and hid.

As soon as they hid, footsteps were heard in the woods not far away - Ken Nishimoto stumbled over with a flashlight in his hand. He also called out softly twice, but when he saw that there was no one around, his voice started to get weak.

Just as he was looking around, a pair of hands quietly reached out from behind.

"Uh...ah..."

A rope suddenly wrapped around Nishimoto Ken's neck and tightened it!

Nishimoto Ken was horrified and tried hard to pull the rope off his neck, but the man behind him was much stronger than him. He struggled desperately and kicked his feet on the ground, but it didn't take long before he lost his strength and struggled.

The force gradually became smaller and finally stopped.

The camera hidden in the tree hole operates quietly.

The flashlight thrown down by Ken Nishimoto illuminated this small area. After his body fell, a sturdy bald man stood up from behind.

——Officially the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji.

He had just killed a person, and his hands were still trembling, his chest was heaving violently, and he was breathing rapidly. But there was no fear or regret on his face, instead there was a slightly ferocious smile.

Under the weak light of the flashlight, the smile captured on camera looked particularly cruel.

He didn't feel the sight above his head. After calming down the excitement and tension after the murder a little, he dragged Ken Nishimoto's body deeper into the woods and prepared to dig a hole and bury it.

Originally, it would be easiest to tie stones and throw them into the sea, but in the middle of the night, Kuroiwa Tatsuji did not dare to sail a boat out to sea. If the body was thrown casually offshore, in this village where most residents are very good at water, it might be possible one day.

Was discovered.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji knew very well that as long as the body could not be found, it would be difficult for a case of an adult to suddenly disappear to attract people's attention. Especially for a person like Nishimoto Ken who lives alone, has no relatives, and has a very withdrawn and eccentric personality.

It was a long time later that someone discovered that he was missing, but not many people paid attention. At most, they would just leave a record with the nearly blind and deaf old police officer on the island.

But it's different when a body is found. The Metropolitan Police Department on the main island of Tokyo will immediately send in capable police officers and maybe nosy detectives to get involved - such as the high school student who claims to be the savior of the police.

It's too dangerous.

So when he had the idea of ​​killing, Kuroiwa Tatsuji was also ready to dispose of the body. He took out the prepared shovel from his bag and started to dig a hole. While digging, he suppressed muttering to himself: "It's all

You are not good, who asked you to threaten me... Damn bug, after killing Keiji Aso, I should have asked you to accompany him..."

In the dark and silent forest, the sound of shovels digging into the earth and the thin whispers all carried a kind of silent terror.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji didn't notice that not far behind him, a fat and white figure tightly covered his mouth. He was so scared that he was shaking like chaff, but he didn't dare to breathe out.

It was none other than Secretary Hirata Kazuaki.

Hirata Kazaki has a relatively cowardly character. Although he has also participated in drug trafficking, he has always done work similar to transit transportation. This is the first time he has seen a murder scene with his own eyes, and the murderer turned out to be the one who has always been very fearful to him.

Kuroiwa Village Chief was almost scared to death. Fortunately, he has not been discovered by Kuroiwa Tatsuji until now.

But how could Kitahara Sosuke, who designed them all to gather here, watch him survive until the end?

He weighed the acorn in his hand, looked at the shadow hidden behind the tree, and then smashed it down!

"ah!"

Hirata Kazaki, who was already extremely nervous, was hit on the head and screamed subconsciously, and then his face immediately turned pale.
Chapter completed!
