Chapter 977 Moonlight

Moon Shadow Island.

The location stated in the power of attorney received by Kogoro Maori this time.

The power of attorney also seems very strange. It is made by cutting and pieced together with words on the newspaper.

‘On the next full moon night, shadows will begin to disappear on Moon Shadow Island again. Please investigate the reason - Keiji Aso.’

The most bizarre thing about this commission is that without waiting for Kogoro Mouri to agree, the 500,000 yuan commission fee was transferred to his account.

Although there were several cases intercepted by Xu Yue, because Conan Halo is hard to defend, Kogoro Mouri is still famous now, but he is not as conspicuous as before.

Yueying Island can be regarded as a relatively remote island, and belongs to the Izu Islands under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. However, the environment of this unfinished island itself is also considered good...

...

There are not many people on Yueying Island, but there is a small village full of rural leisure.

"Ah haha~ Officer Sato will come together, which has really enriched our originally boring itinerary."

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

The saliva was automatically secreted and flowed out unconsciously, looking like a pervert.

"The original ecological environment here must be rich in ingredients. I will use local ingredients for you to try new dishes."

Xu Yue smiled very sunny, and inexplicably gave people a sense of trust.

When he spoke out the new dish, even the other guys began to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

Several people who were not interested in verbalism were trained by Xu Yue to become foodies.

"Since you 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 just need to go directly to the village office to ask."

When Xu Yue saw that the few people seemed to be trapped in some confusing fantasy, he also took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Kogoro Mouri, who came to his senses, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to save some of his face.

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

"It's really not there. I can't check it. I'm new here, so I can only read the records and speak. There's no way for you to ask me like this."

The clerk said with a wry smile on his face.

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

"Director, these people want to find someone named Keiji Aso, but I am really..."

"What?! Keiji Aso?"

The man who he called Director was shocked when he heard this name.

Kogoro Mouri also took the opportunity to tell him what he had accepted the entrustment.

"Impossible! Such a thing could not happen, because Keiji Aso was already dead twelve years ago!"

As soon as the explosive news was heard, Kogoro Mouri, who was originally full of impatient faces, suddenly seemed to eat a fly.

I ~

I finally said that I had accepted a commission to travel, but why did it suddenly become so terrible?

Being invited by a dead person sounds like a cunning...

...

Soon, the group also learned the specific news from the director that Keiji Aso was a pianist. After a concert twelve years ago, he suddenly locked the whole family at home, and was buried in the fire while playing "Moonlight".

Originally, if it were normal, this could be regarded as a prank, but the commission fee had been paid in advance, so it could not be treated simply.

Moreover, the letters sent here are stamps from Yueying Island.

"Maybe it was a friend of Keiji Aso, I want to ask you to investigate the cause of his death."

Because Xu Yue is here, I don’t want Conan to make a reminder by acting cute.

“That’s right.”

Maori Kogoro nodded deeply.

"So we should find a village chief who has always lived in the village and is familiar with the things in the village to understand it better."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"He seems to be working in the Citizens' House, let's go and ask about the road."

"Yeah, OK."

In the "Qui Yue and Kogoro Mori's ", the answer", the subsequent direction was easily determined.

Then a few people came to Murakami's clinic nearby and asked about the doctors here.

Asai is honest ‘Beauty Doctor’!

In just over ninety years, the three evil magic tricks 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 obviously not good for him.

After looking at him with great meaning, he followed everyone to the citizen hall he pointed out

"Hey, when you saw an honest doctor just now, your eyes were straight. Are you moved? Actually, I think the profession of doctor is also good. She looks very beautiful, and she can calm down and support such a remote place..."

Sato Mikako came to Xu Yue in an instant and started ideological work for him.

Xu Yue also felt a little helpless.

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

...

"What? Keiji Aso? This is impossible!"

The current village chief Kuroi Iwaki Tatsuji and a village chief candidate Kawashima who is also in the village chief's office also heard the intention of Kogoro Mori's appearance, their faces were filled with incredible expressions.

The two who were supposed to be competitors looked at each other inexplicably, and then the village chief of Heiyan said

"Tonight is the third anniversary of our former village chief, Guishan. We really can't find time. We should wait until the ceremony is over."

Inexplicably, I brought the meaning of seeing off the guests.

This reaction was not normal at all, and it easily aroused Conan's suspicion. He also looked at Xu Yue, who nodded to him, as if he was doing a silent communication...

...

The former village chief seemed to have a good reputation in the village. In addition, he was originally a small village and a fellow villager, so there were still many people coming to the village for the third anniversary ceremony.

As outsiders, Kogoro Maori and his party certainly did not have the opportunity to participate in this kind of ritual, but they just stayed at the entrance of the Citizens' Pavilion to see the scenery.

Xu Yue leaned against the pillar and looked thoughtful.

When Conan saw him like this, he was so confused that he touched the net from the gang.

He said in a low voice while his face was being pulled

"Did you find something?"

"It's a little bit, but it probably has nothing to do with the entrustment."

Xu Yue kept talking casually in his hands.

"Then tell me what it is."

Conan betrayed himself to please the other party in order to get the news.

"This is the Izu Islands, and the location of Yueying Island is a bit subtle. This citizen hall is still facing the sea to the Pacific Ocean. I have been shopping before. The side door of the room with a piano is opened and it is close to the sea..."

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

Then Xu Yue looked down at this little guy and continued to say

"As a famous detective, you may be more sensitive to the detection of cases, but as a policeman, I found this place to be a good smuggling location..."

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

The moonlight piano music echoed in my ears, and it lasted for a long time...
