Conan: Money Talks

Tsukikage Island is a small island in the Izu Islands. There are only two cruise ships going to this island every day. One at 5 am and one at 5 pm. Therefore, in order to go to Tsukikage Island, Miyamoto Han, Maori and their group of four set out early to take this early small cruise ship.

"Really, it's a rare holiday, why should I, the great detective Maori Kogoro, go to such an island at this time! Maori Kogoro was complaining on the deck because he got up early today.

"I originally wanted to go to enjoy the flowers, but now is a rare good time to enjoy the flowers."

"There is nothing we can do about it! The commission has already been deposited into the account of the firm. Dad, stop complaining." Xiaolan was in a good mood today. In response to Kogoro's complaints, she just smiled and said,"Besides, I heard from the captain of this ship that Yueying Island is a beautiful island. You can just take it as a place to relax."

"That doesn't look like a leisurely island!"

Although he thought so in his heart, Maori Kogoro didn't dare to refute Xiaolan's words. In the end, he could only curl his lips and continue to lean on the railing to look at the sea in the fog.

As for Conan, he was still trying hard to think about the meaning of the letter. But no matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't understand what was written in the letter.

"Damn, what on earth is written in this letter? I have no idea. Conan was scratching his hair madly in frustration.

"Hey, Conan, what's wrong with you?" Miyamoto Han looked at Conan scratching his head frantically and asked happily.

""Damn it! Why is this guy here too!" Conan glanced at Miyamoto Han who was sitting next to him, and thought angrily in his heart.

Conan didn't want to see Miyamoto Han now. He originally thought that he would not see him this time when he went to Yueying Island. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave for the pier to catch a boat in the morning, Miyamoto Han appeared again.

Maori Kogoro didn't tell Xiaolan and Conan that Miyamoto Han also received the same commission letter, so Xiaolan and Conan both thought that Miyamoto Han followed them on purpose.

"Brother Han! Have you figured out the meaning of the commission letter?"Although Conan was very unhappy with Miyamoto Han, he wanted to know the meaning of the commission letter at this time. Even if he didn't like Miyamoto Han, he had to admit his reasoning ability.

Miyamoto Han certainly knew the meaning of the letter, but he certainly wouldn't tell Conan the meaning of the letter now. After all, they didn't even know who Aso Keiji was, let alone the meaning of the letter.

"I don't know either! But after I thought about Tsukikage Island, I might as well just ask Mr. Keiji Aso and he'll be able to find out!" Miyamoto Han said casually.

Conan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Miyamoto Han didn't know the meaning of the letter of commission. He was probably happy that he didn't lose to him this time!

Almost three hours later, the fog around the ship had dissipated for a long time. Standing on the deck, leaning on the railing, one could vaguely see the outline of a small island in the distance ahead.

Xiaolan looked at the small island in the distance and said,"That's Tsukikage Island! It looks so small!"

"Tsukikage Island is a small island located in the Izu Islands, and its area is even smaller than that of Mika City."Miyamoto Han introduced it to Xiaolan.

After the cruise ship docked, Miyamoto Han and the other four got off the ship.

"Finally, we are here! Then we should find the client, Mr. Aso."Mouri Kogoro is still a little unhappy.

"But Dad, where can we find Mr. Aso? There is no detailed address on the letter!"Xiaolan asked Maori Kogoro

"As for this," Miyamoto Han said to Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro,"I think if this Aso Keiji is really from Tsukikage Island, we should be able to find out by going to the village office on the island and asking!"

"That's right!"Mouri Kogoro tapped his palm and agreed with Miyamoto Han's suggestion on the spot.

So after asking the villagers, they came to the village office.

""Excuse me, are you able to help me?" A staff member of the village office asked politely when he saw Miyamoto Han and his group coming in.

Of course, the oldest person, Maori Kogoro, was the one who would handle such matters.

"Hello, I'm the famous detective from Tokyo, Kogoro Mori."Kogoro Mori thought he was very handsome and introduced himself to the staff of the village office,"I want to know where a man named Keiji Aso lives on your island?"

"Keiji Aso? Wait a minute, I'll check." The staff member immediately looked through the resident list of the island.

However, he searched for a long time but couldn't find him, so he immediately said to Kogoro Mori:"There is no such person on our island!"

"How is that possible? Look carefully. I received the letter he sent from this island. How could it be gone? Maori Kogoro said to the staff with his eyes wide open.

"But, sir, I have read the resident list of the island, but I can't find the person you are looking for!" The staff of the village office was also helpless,"I have just come to work on this island not long ago, and I don't know a lot of things yet."

"What's wrong, Dad? Didn't you find the person called Mr. Aso?"Xiaolan asked Maori Kogoro in confusion.

""Yes!" Maori Kogoro nodded and responded.

"This is really a problem. I didn't expect that there is no such person on the island."Miyamoto Han pretended to say.

Just when they were feeling embarrassed, the director of the village office came in.

"What happened? Who are they?" the director of the village office asked the staff member.

"You came at the right time, Director. They came from Tokyo. It seems that someone on our island commissioned them to come here."

"Entrust?"

"Yes, it's a person named Keiji Aso?"

After hearing the staff mention that name, the director of the village office suddenly changed his face, and then shouted in horror:"You said Keiji Aso!!!"
