Conan frowned and thought: "The other party has paid all the commission fees... I think it should be a friend or relative of Aso Keiji. Please ask us to investigate the cause of Aso Keiji's death."

"Then... what are we going to do next?" Kudo Shinichi frowned: "Go find the client?"

"If the client were so easy to find, there would be no need for people to entrust the client in the name of Keiji Aso."

Conan frowned and said, "Even if we find the client, it's of no use. The other party may not have more information than us."

"Hey...Xiaoxin, Qin Xuan has gone far."

Kudo Shinichi tugged at Conan and reminded him.

"Huh? What does he want to do? Follow him first and have a look."

Conan has no clue now, and he is not in a hurry. After all, he has just arrived on the island not long ago. ,

"Ah."

Kudo Shinichi quickened his pace, caught up with Qin Xuan, and asked, "Qin Xuan, do you have a clue?"

Seeing her asking so straightforwardly, Conan, who was following behind her, couldn't help but roll his eyes. He would not ask such an inferior question.

"No……"

Qin Xuantou said: "I plan to go to the Imperial Mansion first, find the village chief, and ask about the situation."

Kudo Shinichi frowned and directly used Conan's words: "Are you trying to find Aso Keiji's relatives and find the client? This is not easy... Even if you find it, the other party may not have much more information than us. "

20. Attack Yukiko

Qin Xuan stopped in front of a clinic, turned around and asked, "Do you know where the Imperial Palace is?"

"We just came..."

Kudo Shinichi and Conan shook their heads, saying they didn't know.

"Then go find someone and ask."

Qin Xuan naturally turned around and headed to the clinic, opened the door and walked in. There was no one in the clinic, so he shouted: "Excuse me, is there anyone here? Excuse me."

"coming……"

I saw a female doctor walking out of the room. She looked at the three people who came into the room and was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled and said, "You guys are a bit unfamiliar. You are not from this island, are you?"

Qin Xuan nodded and said: "The three of us came from Tokyo..."

"Tokyo? I grew up in Tokyo too!"

Before Qin Xuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the female doctor. She smiled and said: "Doesn't it feel good to be on this island? The air is very fresh!"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Asai Makoto, and I am a doctor on this island... Even though I am so young, I have already obtained my certificate. I am a real doctor."

Kudo Shinichi said: "This is the first time we meet. My name is Kudo Shinichi, and I am a detective."

Conan said: "I am Edogawa Conan..."

"I'm Qin Xuan... We came to this island to investigate something." Qin Xuan said.

"What's going on? Can you tell me?" Asai asked honestly and curiously.

"Do you know Keiji Aso?"

Before Qin Xuan could speak, Kudo Shinichi asked first.

Qin Xuan glanced at Kudo Shinichi. It must be Kudo Yukiko who was so out of control.Kudo Shinichi's detective skills are not comparable to Kudo Yukiko's.

"Aso Keiji?"

Asai Makoto frowned, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I have been on this island for two or three years, but I have never heard of Keiji Aso."

"He died in a fire 12 years ago..."

Kudo Shinichi said: "This is what happened on this island, haven't you heard of it?"

"Twelve years ago? How could I know about something so long ago? I'm not a local."

Kudo Shinichi smiled helplessly.

"Too……"

Kudo Shinichi saw that the other party really didn't know, so he gave up the idea of ​​questioning and asked: "Doctor Asai, do you know where the National Palace is?"

"You know, when you go out, turn right and keep walking, you will see a relatively large building, where is the National Palace."

Asai said honestly and walked out of the clinic to give them directions.

"Thank you." Kudo Shinichi thanked him.

"You're welcome... but when you go there, you may see some chaotic scenes." Asai reminded honestly, "But you don't have to worry too much, because the village chief election will be held soon... Some villagers are protesting …”

"Okay, we got it."

After the conversation ended, Qin Xuan and the other three headed towards the direction of the Imperial Mansion.

State Mansion.

"Wait a moment, you three. The village chief is handling official business."

Qin Xuan and the others arrived at the Imperial Mansion. After talking to the staff, the other party gave a perfunctory answer and asked Qin Xuan and the others to wait.

However, this wait is only an hour.

Kudo Shinichi had lost his patience and shouted: "Those guys clearly don't bother us. No wait, we will act on our own."

Conan advised: "Brother Shinichi, don't be impulsive?"

Qin Xuan stood up and agreed: "Xinyi is right, the other party probably won't pay attention to us, we have to rely on ourselves."

With that said, Qin Xuan stretched out his hand and put it on Xinyi's shoulder.As expected, these shoulders are not those of a man. The frame is clearly that of a woman.

Don't get me wrong, what Qin Xuan did was not to take advantage of Xi Zi, he just wanted to confirm his guess.

"Ah! Rogue, what are you doing?" Kudo Shinichi was immediately stunned by Qin Xuan's attack.

The Kudo Shinichi in front of Qin Xuan, just as Qin Xuan guessed, is not the real Kudo Shinichi, but the one disguised by Kudo Yukiko.

Conan on the side was dumbfounded. Kudo Shinichi, his mother's disguise, had obviously revealed her secret.

"Shinichi, why are you reacting like this? I'm not interested in men." Qin Xuan looked frightened by Kudou Shinichi's move and pushed back a few steps, "I just wanted to ask, Shinichi What's your plan."

"I don't have any plans! But I'm warning you, don't touch me again."

Yukiko was so angry at Qin Xuan that she cried. She was attacked and couldn't fight back, which made her feel very uncomfortable. If she were who she was, she would definitely sue Qin Xuan for harassment!

Conan smoothed things over and said, "Let's investigate at the Imperial Mansion first. It won't be in vain."

As a result, the three of them secretly investigated the matter at the Imperial Mansion.

Yukiko asked Conan in a low voice: "Hey, Conan, do you have such a good relationship with Qin Xuan?"

Conan said: "No, I don't know what's going on with Qin Xuan. He seems to be a different person."

Then, Conan's eyes flashed with light, and he stopped at the door of a room.

"This room is so strange. There is nothing but a piano."

"Well, it's indeed suspicious..." Yukiko said with half-understanding.

Qin Xuan walked over in two steps and said: "There is still a lot of dust on it..."

Conan climbed on the chair, opened the piano cover, pressed it a few times, and produced the corresponding note.

Conan was stunned for a moment. He turned back to the two of them and said doubtfully: "It's strange. Why is this piano still so accurate despite no one playing it for so long?"

"who knows……"

Yukiko shook her head and said she didn't know either.

Conan was speechless. He felt that his image had been ruined by his mother...

Qin Xuan didn't answer. He just pointed to the floor directly under the piano and said, "Conan, go over and see... is there some white powder there?"

"Under the piano?"

Conan followed Qin Xuan's instructions and got under the piano. When he took a closer look, he really found a layer of light white powder. He really didn't notice it unless he looked carefully.

He reached out and touched it, then put it to his nose and smelled it.

Conan's head felt dizzy, and after he calmed down, he turned back with a serious expression and said, "These are... drugs."

21. Go to the beach with Yukiko

Qin Xuan looked surprised, but Yukiko was really surprised. She said in disbelief: "How could drugs appear in a place like this?"

"Anyway, let's collect the certificate first."

Qin Xuan put on gloves, took out his mobile phone, photographed the scene, and collected a small sample of drugs.

Qin Xuan had just finished collecting the certificate when a staff member walked in outside the door. He was a little panicked and said: "Hey, you can't stay in there! Come out quickly! Stay away from that cursed piano!"

Conan rubbed his other hand on the floor again before crawling out from under the piano.

The three of them followed the staff member and left the piano room.

"Who are you? Why do you say that piano is cursed?"

The staff member's expression softened and he said:

"I am Tahira, the village mayor's secretary. This piano was played by the very famous pianist Keiji Aso 12 years ago...but he passed away because of a fire."

"If that were the case, then forget it, but before Keiji Aso died, he was still playing on the piano and kept playing..."

"Also, three years ago... the former village chief was also found dead in front of this piano."

Conan couldn't help but ask: "What was the cause of death of the former village chief?"

"Heart paralysis..." When he said this, the staff member said mysteriously: "I heard... he seemed to have seen the soul of Keiji Aso on this piano, so he was scared to death! "

When she heard about ghosts and gods, Yukiko smiled and said: "This is a lie! How can there be ghosts in this world?"

"I'm not lying to you!" the village chief's secretary said seriously: "On the night when the previous village chief died, someone passed by the public hall and heard the sound of a piano coming from this room..."

Qin Xuan asked: "Since this is a cursed piano, why not get rid of it?"

The village chief’s secretary said helplessly: “Although it is a cursed piano, it is still a piano played by a piano master... The village chief and Keiji Aso have been friends since childhood, so they kept it. …”

Yukiko then asked: "When can we see the village chief."

The village chief's secretary still replied perfunctorily: "The village chief is dealing with official business and has no time now."

Yukiko was a little helpless, but she had no choice but to continue waiting here.

"Really, he's just a village chief... He's acting like a congressman. How come he has so many things to deal with?"

Yukiko was very unhappy and couldn't help but complain.

Qin Xuan said: "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. The village chief is the local emperor of Yueying Village. He has the final say in the whole village. If he doesn't want to see us, we can't do anything to him."

"Damn it, is there nothing we can do?" Yukiko frowned and said in an unhappy tone.

"I don't think the village chief will see us. I will go to other places to investigate."

With that said, Qin Xuan walked towards the door.

Seeing Qin Xuan leave, Yukiko turned to Conan and asked: "What should I do? Xiaoxin."

Conan said: "Just wait a little longer."

Yukiko said: "I can't stay here any longer."

Conan said: "Otherwise, I'll wait here, you can act on your own, and we'll meet back at the hotel then."

Yukiko shrugged and said, "Okay."

Conan's idea was to investigate quietly at the Imperial Mansion alone. He was a child and could move more easily.

Yukiko walked out of the foreign residence and suddenly ran out of ideas. She didn't know where to go.

Yukiko looked far into the distance and saw Qin Xuan's back about to disappear, so she quickly followed him.

"Hey, Qin Xuan, where are you going?"

Yukiko ran to the opposite side of Qin Xuan and blocked his way.

Qin Xuan smiled and responded: "Oh, Shinichi, I'm going to the beach to pick up girls. Do you want to go with me? There might be some cute girls in swimsuits."
