Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 409: The world's number one cross-dresser in the science world! (Vote for the monthly ticket!)

"Director, according to this gentleman, he came here on behalf of the island residents."

The staff member turned around and saw that it was a man in a gray suit, who was his boss.

Seeing his boss coming, the staff member immediately told him the whole story.

The gray-clothed man called the director blinked and asked, "Commission?"

Someone on the island hired a detective? How come he didn't know about this?
The staff member did not hide anything from him and directly told him all the information he knew, "Yes, Director. According to this gentleman, a man named Keiji Aso asked him to come to Tsukikage Island."

"What? Are you talking about Aso Keiji?"

However, to his surprise, after hearing the name Keiji Aso, his boss's face immediately changed drastically, as if he had heard something incredible.

"A letter from Keiji Aso?"

"Are you kidding? Aso Keiji is still alive?"

"That person just seemed to be talking about Keiji Aso, but I remember he wasn't..."

"You're not mistaken. I also remember that person should have died a long time ago!"

In fact, it was not just him. After hearing the name Keiji Aso, some residents sitting around also started discussing it.

From their discussion, it is not difficult to see that they and the man in gray both find it quite incredible that Keiji Aso entrusted Kogoro Mori.

"It's impossible for this to happen, because, because of him, he died more than ten years ago!"

The director of the Civil Affairs Department looked extremely shocked and his tone was intermittent.

Even without looking at his expression, you could tell from his tone that he was feeling particularly uneasy at the moment.

Why would a person who had been dead for ten years send a letter to entrust others to come to Moon Shadow Island?
Is it the other person's ghost causing trouble, or is someone using the other person's identity to play a prank?
"What did you say? Dead?"

When Kogoro Maori heard that the person who sent him the letter of commission was actually a person who had been dead for ten years, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

How can you send a letter or call a dead person?

Could the man in front of him be joking with him?
"Yes, Aso Keiji, he was born on this island. He used to be a famous pianist, but twelve years ago, on a full-moon night, he left his hometown to develop his career. After many years, he held a piano concert in the village's community center. Unfortunately, after the concert, he and his family were trapped in their home, and the house suddenly caught fire."

Taking a deep breath and forcing down the shock and bewilderment that came with hearing that Keiji Aso's client had come to Tsukikage Island, the director asked Kogoro Mori and his group to sit aside, and then began to tell them the story of Keiji Aso.

"According to insiders, he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. In the raging flames, he seemed to be crazy and kept playing the piano. It was Beethoven's famous piano piece "Moonlight". In this way, the lives of Keiji Aso and his family came to an end."

"It's a letter from the deceased! Who on earth could have played such a nasty prank?"

After learning that the pianist Keiji Aso who had commissioned him was actually a pianist who had been dead for ten years, Kogoro Mori became so angry that he crumpled the paper into a ball.

Someone actually dared to fool the famous detective Maori. Don't let him know who the other person is. Otherwise, no matter what he says, he will not let the other person go!
However, if Keiji Aso is really dead, then who is the person who sent him the letter, entrusted him to come to Tsukikage Island, and the person who called him?

Why would the other party pretend to be someone who had been dead for many years?
"Uncle, that's not necessarily the case. Think about it, the sender has even paid the commission, and the postmark on the envelope is indeed from Tsukikage Island, which means the person who sent the letter to uncle is from Tsukikage Island. So, I think there might be someone on the island who wants you to investigate the matter of Aso Keiji."

Conan, who was standing by, didn't think this was a prank.

After all, who would pay 50 yen for a prank?
He wouldn't do that anyway.

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and said, "Yes, maybe he is a good friend of Mr. Aso! Why don't we go ask the village chief on the island and see if we can find some clues. What do you think, Dad?"

She thought that what a certain shrunken high school detective said made sense.

Moreover, since I have received the money, I will always feel guilty if I don’t help the client.

Touching his chin, Maori Kogoro made a decision, "Okay, I heard from the director just now that the village chief should be in the community center."

"Then let's go over and take a look!"

After saying goodbye to the staff of the Civil Affairs Department, Mao Li and his group headed towards the Community Center...

……

"Got it? Kenta, make sure you get a good night's sleep when you get home."

When the group passed by a clinic, they were attracted by a beautiful woman in a white coat.

She had a delicate and beautiful oval face, and looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She was wearing a white coat, a blue skirt, and white stockings on her long, slender legs, which made her look particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, she was in front of the outpatient clinic, telling a child to have a good rest after returning home.

The little boy nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand, thank you sister, goodbye."

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Goodbye."

"Excuse me, but how do I get to the Civic Center?"

Seeing the beautiful woman turning around and about to walk into the outpatient clinic, Mao Lilan hurried over and asked her about the location of the community center.

"The community center? It's over there. Turn the corner and go straight ahead until you reach the end."

The beautiful woman pointed in the direction of the community center and said, "From your accent, are you from Tokyo?"

Mao Lilan nodded and said, "Yes, we came here by the same boat we just took."

Bai Ye's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the beautiful woman who was talking to Mao Lilan. The beautiful woman was wearing a very conspicuous white coat, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail, which swayed with her movements.

As for her appearance, it can be fully praised as: pretty, delicate and charming.

What a pity, it’s a boy!
The voice is very gentle, and sounds like that of a gentle older sister.

What a pity, it’s a boy!
Because he is the son of Keiji Aso, his name is Aso Narimi, and he can also be called Asai Narimi.

The reason why Bai Ye still remembers him is entirely because of his story, which is considered to be the most heartbreaking part in "Detective Conan".

——Matsumoto Aso was originally the son of pianist Keiji Aso and studied at Tokyo Medical College. For many years, the news of his father Keiji Aso's self-immolation has always been a concern for Asomoto Aso.

He really didn't understand why his successful father would choose to set fire to the house and die in the flames. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that witnesses who went to rescue him said that his father killed his mother and sister with his own hands, and then sat in the fire and played the "Moonlight Sonata" repeatedly.

Shortly after the incident, the police hastily closed the case on the grounds of "suicide".

This matter was so strange and bizarre. Knowing that he could not rely on the police, Cheng Shi decided to return to Yueying Island where his father had the accident, to investigate on his own and find out the truth on his own.

So he changed his name, dressed as a woman, came to Moonshadow Island and worked as a doctor.

Of course, he was not completely evil at that time, he was just seeking the truth of everything.

However, when the truth and reality were really placed before him, he was faced with a difficult choice. Family feud made him choose the path of revenge, but kindness made him send a letter to Kogoro Mori at the last moment of his plan, hoping to use this famous detective to stop him.

Unfortunately, the arrival of Kogoro Mori and his group did not stop his revenge in time as he had imagined.

Finally, after killing all his enemies one by one and telling the truth, Asanami plans to leave this world in the same way as his father, by being buried in a sea of ​​fire in the piano room.

In order to save his life, Conan told Cheng Shi that Mr. Aso Keiji once wrote in the music score: "Cheng Shi, you have to live well on your own."

Conan once wanted to use this to try to dissuade him from committing suicide.

But Masamichi seemed to have intended to do so from the beginning. He threw Conan out of the window, leaving him alone in the sea of ​​fire: "Because my hands are already stained with the blood of those four people," and then threw Conan out of the sea of ​​fire.

In the past, because of his pride and self-confidence, or perhaps because he believed that things were either black or white, the high school detective Kudo Shinichi had always been ruthless to criminals, but Dr. Chengji changed him.

Because Cheng Shi was pitiful and miserable, because he was a kind prisoner, and because this was a mistake that should not have happened.

Cheng Shi's death completely changed Kudo Shinichi's idea that "forcing the prisoners into a desperate situation is a kind of pleasure". He realized that the world is not black and white, and learned to treat the prisoners with true impartiality but gentleness.

After this incident, Conan has been shouldering the responsibility of redemption in the play, responsible for pulling those who have stepped on empty air and fallen into darkness out of the abyss, so that they can return to the light after atonement. He hates crime, but is willing to believe that human hearts are good. As he said, there is no need for a reason to save people - the key is people, no matter who they are.

Of course, the reason why Bai Ye is so impressed by Asano Minoru is not only because the other party's story is a tragedy that should not have happened, but also because Asano Minoru is the number one cross-dresser in the world of science.

This identity bonus left a particularly deep impression on him and countless people who have watched "Detective Conan".

The beautiful woman's eyes flickered slightly. "I was also born in Tokyo, but this island is a little different from Tokyo. It's great, isn't it? The air here is so fresh, and the surrounding environment is so quiet!"

As she spoke, the beautiful woman stretched, revealing her impressive figure.

Just then, a campaign car with a loud horn blaring sped past. The noisy sound of the horn continued to come out of the car, while also constantly creating noise, polluting other people's ears, and directly slapping the beautiful woman in the face.

"Shimizu, Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato..."

The beautiful woman gave a dry laugh and explained the reason to Kogoro Mori and others.

"However, this is only an exception because the election for village chief will be held soon."

"Village head election?"

Kogoro Mori looked confused.

What's going on? Is there no village chief on this island?
The beautiful woman nodded gently. "Well, let's elect a new village chief. The candidates include Mr. Shimizu, the current fisherman representative, Mr. Kuroiwa, who has been increasingly criticized by the villagers, and Mr. Kawashima, the largest property owner on the island. However, it seems that most patients want to vote for Mr. Kawashima."

Bai Ye has been admiring the poor acting skills of Asai Makoto in front of him.

There was no doubt that the other party was waiting here specifically for them, otherwise, when they met for the first time, they would be eager to tell each other all the information.

Unless there is someone with ulterior motives.

However, it is worth praising that the other party's disguise technique is indeed superb. It is completely impossible to tell that it is a man in disguise. Even the Adam's apple is well covered. Even with his disguise skills, no flaws can be found.

If Bai Ye wasn't a time traveler and knew Asai Narimi's background well, he would almost have thought that the person in front of him was a really beautiful young lady!
"Oh, so it's about re-electing the village chief!"

Maori Kogoro nodded in understanding, then waved his hand to stop the female doctor from continuing, "Okay, Miss Nurse, we really have no interest in this so-called village chief election."

Who cares who will be the future village chief on this island? All they want now is to know who on the island knows Keiji Aso.

The beautiful woman straightened her expression and corrected Maori Kogoro's mistake, "I'm not a nurse, I'm the doctor here, Asai Narimi, and I have a formal medical license!"

"So you're a doctor!" Maori Kogoro was stunned for a moment, then quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, you're too young, I made a mistake."

"It doesn't matter……"

Asai Narimi waved his hand generously, "By the way, if you want to go to the community center, just walk along this road. Then, you may also meet the three candidates for the next village chief I just mentioned, because there will be a ceremony tonight to commemorate the third anniversary of the succession of the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama."

"The former village chief's... third anniversary succession?"

Kogoro, Ran Mouri and the others looked at each other in confusion. Is it possible to inherit the title of village chief after three years?
And he is the former village chief?
With their heads full of doubts and puzzlement, everyone said goodbye to Asai Narimi and walked towards the community center...
