Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 68 Aso Keiji’s Commission

"Why do you have to let a famous detective like me go to some inexplicable island when you can go see flowers?"

Kogoro Mouri lay on the railing at the stern and complained about the mysterious person who called yesterday.

Conan also looked helplessly at the waves stirred up by the water flow caused by the hull, which was as calm as his state of mind.

Originally, Kindaichi's latest book was going to be released today, and he had made an appointment with everyone from the Young Detective Corps to go to the bookstore together, but Kogoro somehow pulled him over and even said he was doing his best.

"Isn't this nice? I've wanted to visit here for a long time. I finally have the opportunity to relax on the Izu Islands, so please cherish it."

"What's so great about this? It's just an island, and there's definitely no beer hall."

If the other party hadn't paid half a million yen as a commission fee, Kogoro wouldn't have come to such a place.

Fujiwara waited long and hard for it to finally come, the most important incident in the early plot of Detective. This case set a very good example for the overall narrative style of Conan in the early period. As an audience member, Fujiwara was deeply impressed by Aso Honesty, the protagonist of this incident.

One of the reasons is that he disguised himself as a woman like Shiro in Naruto, and the other is because Aso Honesty completed incredible revenge on his own to avenge the blood feud of the year. He was very excited when he saw it, even though Conan exposed his crime. , but his final ending is very sad.
  Soon the boat arrived at the island. After disembarking, the three of them followed the signs to the island's office and asked where Kei Aso and the others were.

"You mean, Keiji Aso?" The staff carefully checked the citizen book and did not see this name on it, so they asked if they had remembered it wrong.

"He gave me half a million yen as a commission to let me come here. This can't be wrong."

Seeing Kogoro's firm attitude put the staff in trouble.

"But sir, there is really no one with this name on this island."

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a supervisor saw the movement here and came over to ask about the situation.

Kogoro told Aso Keiji again.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man came to see Aso Keiji one day. His face suddenly turned pale, like a newly painted white wall, and he stuttered and exhaled, "It is absolutely impossible that Aso Keiji, he, he, he, died more than ten years ago. !!”

"What!" Kogoro gasped, and when the people around him heard that Kogoro and his party were looking for Keiji Aso, their expressions began to look unnatural, and the timid ones even got up and left.

Under the shock of everyone's faces, the middle-aged man transformed into a narrator and began to tell the story of Keiji Aso's life experience.

"Keji Aso was born on the island. He used to be a famous piano player. It was a full moon night twelve years ago."

After understanding the basic situation, a group of them sat on the flower bed outside the door and thought about what was going on.

"That person really fooled me, a famous detective, and it was really abominable. My flower viewing plan was wasted."

Conan felt that there was something fishy about this matter. In fact, he guessed from the moment he saw the letter that this matter was not simple.

When the sender specially cut out many magazines to piece together the invitation letter, he made it clear that he did not want his handwriting to be exposed, and judging from the fact that he deliberately used money to induce his uncle, it is very likely that the person wanted them to investigate the cause of Keiji Aso's death.

Conan looked up at Mouri Kogoro and said, "It's not necessarily a prank. After all, the other party has paid all the money, and the postmark is from Tsukikage Island. I think it may be someone from the island who asked uncle to investigate Keiji Aso." What’s going on!”

"I think Conan is right." Fujiwara agreed. After all, it is impossible to leave after all.

Seeing that his apprentice was saying the same thing, Kogoro also thought that he could go to the public center on the island to see what the case was about twelve years ago.

So they stopped a young woman to ask for directions.

"Excuse me, how to get to the public center?" Hearing someone asking for directions, Asai honestly asked: "Oh, just turn left at the green sign, but are you here for sightseeing?"

"Yes, miss. I just came by boat."

As soon as the person on the other side heard that he was from Tokyo, he immediately excitedly revealed that he was also from Tokyo.

"What a coincidence, miss."

When Kogoro is not restrained by anyone, he will never miss any opportunity to strike up a conversation with a young lady.

What he didn't expect was that the 'Makoto Asai' in front of him was also a man.

Fujiwara looked at Asai Narumi and saw no trace of a transvestite. The peaks on her chest also showed her identity as a woman. Her delicate face had nothing to do with a boy, and her temperament was also very gentle and heart-warming.

When Asai honestly introduced the beautiful and quiet environment here, at this moment, a car drove over from a distance. While driving, he was still using his loudspeaker to say, "Please vote for Masato Shimizu!"

“Is there going to be an election?”

"Yes, the village chief on the island is elected every two years. The candidates are Mr. Shimizu, an advanced fisherman representative, Mr. Kuroiwa, the current village chief whose evaluation has been lowered recently, and Mr. Kawashima, the largest capitalist on the island. However, the patient's opinion They all have to vote for Mr. Kawashima.”

Upon seeing this, Kogoro Mori immediately interrupted Asai Honesty's speech, "Ms. Nurse, we are not interested in the village chief election."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the doctor here, Asai Makoto. I have a formal medical license."

"So you are a doctor"

If you go to the public hall, you will meet the three people I just mentioned, because tonight there will be a memorial ceremony for the third anniversary of the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama. "

At this time, there was a crowd of people gathered outside the public hall, holding signs written in their hands to oppose the demonstration.

"Oppose the tyranny of the village chief and do not allow them to pollute the fish pond!"

"They are not allowed to invade our farmland, and they are not allowed to pollute the fish ponds!"

"Down with them!"

After the group arrived at the public hall, Uncle Maori was a little impatient after the long wait. He casually opened a room and found that there was only a black piano in it.

Seeing the piano, Conan remembered the sound of the piano coming from Fujiwara Xinghai's house a few days ago, and asked Fujiwara if he could play an impromptu song.

"can."

Fujiwara, who possesses advanced piano skills, sat confidently on the piano chair, played a section first, and then tested and checked the piano's tone, volume, and intonation.

After watching the game, Fujiwara played his favorite song "Canon" when he played "Don't Step on the White Block" in his previous life based on the tracks given by the system.

After hearing this, Kogoro also praised, "You kid can actually play this?"

Just as he was playing more vigorously, Secretary Hirata who came over after hearing the sound quickly stopped Fujiwara, "No, this is a cursed piano!!" The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and the three of them looked at Hirata Kazuaki who rushed in.

The other party explained to them that Keiji Aso and the former village chief both died on this piano.
