Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 31



Chapter 31 Moonlight

On holiday, heading to the sea of ​​the Izu Islands, a ship sails in the white mist.

Gao Cheng silently walked to the bow and looked at the small island gradually emerging in the mist.

In the few days when he became a child, he received a letter of trust from Keiji Aso, and a 300,000 yen commission fee was also transferred to the account. Just before he got here by boat, the system also released the case. , It happened to be the incident of Moon Shadow Island.

Regarding this incident, his only remaining impression is that there is a pseudonym named Asai Narumi, and the others are completely blurred.

As for why he remembered a pseudonymous thing, Gao Cheng did not understand. His sexual orientation was normal. It should be just a coincidence to remember Asai Chengmi, maybe some key person.

But…

Takasei half-opened his eyes and looked at the mori Kogoro who was chattering and complaining on the other side.

“Really, you can go to see the flowers,” Mouri Kogoro dipped a cigarette, and Yu Guang glanced at Gao Cheng and muttered, “Why do I, a detective, Moori Kogoro, have to go to the **** with this kind of guy? Lonely island?”

“I still want to ask,” Gao Cheng dissatisfied, “Why are the same detectives, some people have a commission fee of 500,000, but as a famous detective, I only have 300,000?”

Moori Kogoro angrily said: “Smelly boy, who are you a famous detective? If it weren’t for you, maybe I would have 800,000?”

“Okay, okay.” Mao Lilan looked at the two people who didn’t deal with it, sandwiched between them with a wry smile and persuaded, “Just treat it as a tourist, there is nothing to noisy.”

“Humph!”

Gaocheng turned their heads away at the same time.

also opened a detective agency in Yonehua Town, not far away. There was already business competition, but the conflict has become more obvious recently.

A few days before coming to Izu, Kogoro Mori relied on Conan to solve a case in Saitama Prefecture. The name of “Sleeping Detective” is getting bigger and bigger, and reporters who have good news are inexplicably late. The active Gao Cheng raised it up with Mouri Kogoro.

In the past few days, the two voices of “Sleeping Detective” and “Modern Left Character” have quarreled in the newspapers.

“Modern Zuowen” is a name given to him by the media without authorization. The reason is that he has carried a wooden knife several times to detect crimes, which is exactly like the protagonist Zuowen in a detective novel many years ago.

Although I didn’t like this name because of the high cost, I didn’t want to be compared by Kogoro Mori, and finally reached the point where they were very stiff when they met.

Mori Kogoro has Conan, and he also has a system…

Gao Cheng glanced at Conan, who was pretending to be a child. As long as he worked hard, it might not be possible to solve the case before Conan.

At the office in Moonkage Island Village, after Gao Cheng got off the ship, he and Conan first came here to find information about his client Keiji Aso.

The letter of entrustment sent to him and Kogoro Mouri are all pasted in paper-cut words, and it says: Next time on the night of the full moon, the shadows will begin to disappear on Moonshadow Island, please come and investigate…

It’s just that, except for the postmark of Moonshade Island, there is no extra information.

“Ama, Keiji Aso?!”

The office director looked at Gao Cheng in horror: “No, this is impossible! Because he died more than ten years ago!”

“what?!”

“He was born on the island. He used to be a very famous pianist,” the director said in amazement. “But on a full moon night twelve years ago, he returned to his hometown after many years and held a piano in the village public hall. After the concert and after the concert, I don’t know why I suddenly closed my home with my family and set off a big fire…”

The director narrated in a deep voice under Mao Lilan’s chilling eyes: “It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. He seemed to be entangled in the raging flames, and he continued to play the piano. , Is Beethoven’s piano sonata, “Moonlight”!”

“But what’s the matter with this letter of entrustment?” Gao Cheng frowned and took out the letter of entrustment. “It is indeed stamped with the postmark of Moonshade Island, and the entrustment fee has been paid in full. It shouldn’t be someone who is playing a prank?”

“I think it must be someone in your village who imposters it?” Mouri Kogoro grabbed the director unwillingly and said, “Who would do this?”

“This,” the director took a step back subconsciously, “you can ask the village chief, he is at the public hall right now.”

“Okay, let’s pass now!” Kogoro Moori Yuguang glanced at Gao Cheng, and eagerly asked the location of the public hall before leaving.

Gao Cheng did not immediately follow up, but asked the staff: “Is there a person named Asai Narumi on the island?”

“Oh, you mean Doctor Cheng Shi, she should be in the clinic over there now.”

“Thank you.”

Moon Shadow Island Clinic, when Gao Sung found him, Conan and his party followed along, as if it happened to be on the way to the public hall.

At this time, Asai Narumi happened to take a child away at the entrance of the clinic. It was originally Gao Cheng looking for her (him). After seeing Asai Narumi, Moore Kogoro suddenly couldn’t move his feet.

“Is this Doctor Cheng Shi?” Gao Sung asked hesitantly looking at the doctor who looked like a pretty girl.

“Ah, it’s me,” said Asai, with long hair and a slender white coat, “what’s the matter with you?”

Before Gao Cheng could reply, Kogoro Mouri squeezed to the front and said, “That’s it, we actually received a letter of entrustment from Keiji Aso…”

“Keiji Aso?” Asai Narumi’s face was surprised.

“Yeah,” Gao Cheng didn’t mean to argue with Kogoro Mouri, but he explained, “But the office said Kei Aso had died more than 20 years ago, so I wondered who would pretend to be him. Let’s come.”

“I don’t know too well, because I only came to this island a few years ago,” Asai shook his head and looked at Gao Cheng curiously, “Are you from outside?”

Mao Lilan nodded and said, “Well, we are from Tokyo…”

“Really? I’m from Tokyo too!” Said Asai happily, “This island is different from Tokyo. It’s great, right? Not only is the air fresh, but it’s also very quiet…”

“Beep-!” Just as he said, a publicity car passed by, and the noisy horns reverberated: Qingshui, Qingshui Zhengren…Please vote for Qingshui Zhengren!

Asai became embarrassed, and smiled embarrassedly: “But this is an exception, because the village election is about to be held…”

“Village chief election?”

Only then did Kogoro Mori remember the business, and quickly said, “We just want to ask the village chief too.”

“Are you going to the public hall?” Asai reminded, “Tonight there will be a memorial service on the second anniversary of the death of the former village head Mr. Kameyama. If you ask there, you may be rewarded.”

Gao Cheng was a little disappointed. He originally thought he could get some useful information from the only person he remembered.

Followed Maori Kogoro to find the public hall. At the door, many villagers were protesting against the current village chief. After Maori Kogoro explained his intention to the village secretary, he waited outside the meeting room.

But Gao Cheng didn’t stay with this guy, but took advantage of this gap to look around.

Conan hasn’t realized the meaning of the letter of commission, but he is different.

Whether it was the murder of Moon Shadow Island released by the system, or his own vague memory, he knew that the island would not be peaceful in the future, and the person who sent the letter of entrustment had obviously noticed…

Just why do you hide your head and show your tail? Is there any reason why the identity cannot be revealed?

Gao Cheng has no expectations to find out the true identity of the client. The most important thing now is to investigate the events that may happen on this island.

The cause of the    incident seems to be related to the death of Keiji Aso more than ten years ago…

Gao Cheng gently pushed open a door at the end of the aisle, and found that there was only a black piano in a large room.

Speaking of piano, he recently got two piano knowledge cards, and he has not had time to experiment.

Gao Cheng opened the keyboard cover itchingly, using the experience in his mind to put his fingers on the keyboard as if instinctively, which he should have never learned before, but it would be as if heaven helped to play smoothly.

“Huh?” Conan followed behind, looking at the audition’s Gao Cheng in surprise, “I didn’t expect you to still play the piano.”

Gao Cheng regained his senses and hummed: “There are many things you didn’t expect, but I will become the world’s number one detective.”

Conan looked speechless: It’s too early to say this, right?

“You guys!” Hearing the sound of the piano, the village chief’s secretary hurried into the room and shouted anxiously, “You can’t touch that piano!”

“Huh?” Gao Cheng was taken aback, “What’s wrong?”

“That’s the cursed piano used by Mr. Aso in the concert on the night of his suicide!” Hirata looked scared.

“Curse, curse?” Mao Lilan also followed into the piano room, shivering at the words.

“Yes,” Hirata jealously pushed Kosung and Conan out of the room, “It’s not just Mr. Aso… even the former village head…”

“The former village chief?” Gao Cheng looked at the sweaty Hirata and asked curiously, “Is this the former village head Yumeyama Kameyama who is doing the ritual today?”

Hirata closed the door of the room, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in a low voice: “It happened two years ago, and it was also the night of the full moon. At that time, I happened to pass by the public hall, but there should be no one in the public hall. There was the sound of someone playing the piano. When I asked who was inside, the sound stopped immediately…

“Wait for me to walk inside,” Hirata said with a terrifying expression. “Mr. Kameyama fell on the piano. The cause of death was a heart attack. The tune he played until his death was Mr. Aso in the flames. That moonlight sonata that I keep playing!”

Morilan’s teeth trembled, and he was completely immersed in the atmosphere of horror: “It should be Mr. Aso’s ghost, right?”

Gao Cheng pouted his lips.

Conan is a detective world, nothing is more reliable than ghosts…

“Anyway,” Hirata regained his calm and warned, “You should go out and wait before the ritual is over. Don’t touch this cursed piano again!”

Outside the public hall, the full moon has appeared in the night sky, UU reading www. uukanshu. com looks very calm, but I don’t know why it has a weird atmosphere.

“Really,” Mouri Kogoro angrily pinched out the cigarette butt, complaining to Gao Cheng, “It’s all because you guys touched other people’s things, even I was kicked out!”

“Who knew that guy would react so much?”

Gao Cheng leaned against the door, and suddenly saw Asai Cheng Mi, dressed in black, walking towards the public hall with a middle-aged man.

“what?”

“Are you still there?” Asai Chengmi asked unexpectedly, “Have you seen the village chief?”

“Not yet,” Mouri Kogoro was also very dissatisfied with the village that left him aside, “It seems I don’t know when to wait…”

“Ms. Chengshi,” Morilan ignored Kogoro’s complaint and asked, “Are you here to attend the ceremony?”

“Yes,” Cheng Shi smiled. “Because when I came to this island, the first post-mortem was Mr. Kameyama, so I wanted to burn incense and worship.”

Talking about Cheng Shi, he introduced the middle-aged humanity around him: “Yes, this is Mr. Shimizu.”

“Hello, I am Shimizu Masaru, so I can show you a lot.” The middle-aged man greeted him with a friendly face. The face of the Chinese character was quite righteous, and he was very kind and friendly when he smiled.

Gao Cheng took a look: It was the village chief candidate whom the propaganda car had been calling for before. On the surface, it looks good, but shouldn’t this kind of person be the murderer?

The battle for the village chief on the Moon Shadow Island seems to be very fierce. Now that the election of the village chief is coming, some people may have murderous intentions. And, by coincidence, the village chief died two years ago.

“See you later.”

Asai Narumi and Shimizu Masato entered the ceremonial venue together, and Gao Cheng and his party had to sit down at the door and wait for the ritual to end.
