Daily life of a spy in the world of Conan

Although he knew where Kuroiwa Tatsuji's house was, he definitely couldn't tell it, otherwise Conan would suspect him. This kid was very smart.

"Well... I was so angry at the time that I didn't have time to ask." Kogoro Mouri touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay. He is the village chief after all. You should know the answer by just asking him." Xia Chuan pulled a passerby at the corner.

This person was wearing jeans, a purple knitted long-sleeved top, and had a ponytail on her head that showed her youthfulness. She was none other than the transvestite Asai Narumi.

She has a well-proportioned figure, regular features and a pretty face, just like a young and beautiful girl.

It's quite pretty.

Xia Chuan had already discovered that he had been following his group all the way, so he took the opportunity to ask passers-by to pull the other person out.

When Maori Kogoro saw the appearance of Asai Narimi, his brows immediately lit up with joy and enthusiasm. After adjusting his suit and tie, he coughed twice and asked questions in the voice of a mature man.

"Miss, do you know where the village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji is? Or you can tell us where his home is."

Xia Chuan was eating melons with a smile. The more he likes it now, the more disgusted he will be after knowing the truth.

Poor Uncle Maori.

Asai Narumi is indeed quite capable, or maybe he has always believed that he is a woman and it doesn't seem like he is pretending at all. Even Conan didn't notice anything.

The two talked for a long time, and Uncle Maori was drooling. Finally, Asai Narumi led them towards the community center.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of the former village chief, Kameyama Isamu, so today the village chief Kuroiwa should be at the community center supervising the site arrangements. I remember seeing him this morning."

Maori Kogoro nodded, thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Dr. Chengji, do you know Keiji Aso? I heard that he was a musician who died on the island twelve years ago."

Asai Narimi's steps paused visibly, but he immediately returned to normal: "Really? I don't know him. I just came to Tsukikage Island two years ago. I am also a native of Tokyo like you guys."

"But I do have some impression of this name, but not much. After all, he has been dead for so many years. Village Chief Heiyan must know it. You can go and ask Village Chief Heiyan directly and you should be able to find out."

"That's it."

Kogoro Mori was a little discouraged. The direction of the investigation seemed bleak. If the client had not already sent him the money, he would have turned around and left.

However, there is no doubt that only such cases can reflect the background and wisdom of the famous detective.

Conan frowned and glanced at Asai Narimi, his glasses that were half the size of his face reflecting a gleam of wisdom.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this woman named Asai Narumi.

Moreover, when her uncle asked the question just now, she paused obviously, which looked very strange. This Asai Narumi must know something about Aso Keiji, otherwise she wouldn't be so obviously unnatural.

"Conan, what are you thinking about?"

Natsukawa noticed Conan's look.

No way, could it be that Conan has already suspected Asai Narumi before the case even begins?

"It's okay, Uncle Xiachuan, don't you think Sister Chengshi is a little weird?"

Conan came over and whispered some unusual details about the other party.

"Hey, Conan, please don't get too close to my father."

Anya broke free from Yoel's hand, took two quick steps, and squeezed between Conan and Xiachuan.

That's right, she was jealous.

"Okay, Anya, stop making trouble." Xia Chuan held Anya in his arms.

You are so jealous at such a young age. What will you do if you can't get married in the future?

Conan complained silently in his heart, then quickly caught up with Maori Kogoro and continued to observe Asai Narimi's situation.

You are so good, Conan, you actually said bad things about me secretly. That’s why you can’t get married. Just wait and see.

(╬◣д◢)

Yueying Island is neither big nor small. It took about twenty minutes to walk from the B&B to the village office.

"Finally we're here."

Kogoro Maori felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have borrowed a few bicycles from the B&B owner at the beginning. Walking was really tiring.

The village office covers a large area, with a beach in front and a forest in the back.

At this time, people occasionally came in and out of the main entrance of the village office. Judging from their appearance, they should be workers arranging the worship ceremony.

These workers were obviously also residents of the village. When Asai Narimi led a few people there, many people greeted Asai Narimi. It seemed that she was quite popular on Yueying Island.

It could also be because he was the only doctor on the island.

"Uncle Zhongzheng, have you seen the village chief of Kuroiwa?" Asai Chengmi asked, pulling a middle-aged man who looked like a foreman.

Zhongzheng scratched his head and thought for a moment, "I didn't see it. It's strange. It was still there at noon. I don't know when it disappeared."

"I seem to remember that the chief of Heiyan Village went to the toilet, and I didn't see him afterwards."

The worker who was speaking pointed to the village office and said, "It's the bathroom in the village office. It was probably around noon."

"Uncle, did you see the chief of Kuroiwa Village come out behind you?" Conan asked in an extremely innocent childish voice. His left eye was twitching and he had a bad premonition.

I always feel that something is going to happen to this Heiyan village chief.

Xia Chuan felt the same way.

But logically speaking, the case should start on the night of the full moon, which is tomorrow.

"No, but he should have left. I didn't notice it. I have to set up the atmosphere for the worship ceremony today. I don't have that much time to pay attention to what the village chief is doing."

The worker was complaining a lot, and it was obvious that the village chief of Heiyan had exploited him a lot.

Natsukawa and Maori Kogoro looked at each other, and both of them noticed something unusual.

There are so many workers here, it is impossible that they didn’t see Village Chief Heiyan leave.

Natsukawa turned his head and glanced at Asai Narimi, and found that the other person's expression did not change at all.

Strange, am I just overthinking it?

"I'll go check the situation. I hope we are just being overly concerned. Doctor Cheng Shi, please show me the way."

"Oh, okay."

After listening to the conversation between the two for a long time, Asai Narimi also came to his senses and nodded with a strange expression.

Asai Narimi led Natsukawa to the bathroom, while the others stayed outside and waited.

Kogoro Mori continued to chat with Foreman Nakamasa, who was a native of the island. He wanted to learn about the situation on the island from him and also find out about Keiji Aso.

It's unrealistic that a dead person would send him a commission.

Conan is a little annoying sometimes, but he was right about one thing: this commission is most likely from someone who wants him, the famous detective, to find out the cause of Keiji Aso's death.

Chapter 81 Uncle Maori, Conan said it was you who let him in!

Tsukikage Island is located in the waters east of Tokyo. There are many islands here, and almost all of them are inhabited. For hundreds of years, the residents have made a living from fishing from generation to generation.

With the rapid changes in people's living conditions, Yueying Island has expanded its tourism business in addition to fishing, and the living standards of fishermen have therefore improved.

It's not a poor place, but it's not rich either. At least the current passenger flow is not enough to support Yueying Island's pursuit of a well-off life.

Therefore, when Kogoro Mori heard that the village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji owned a super large villa, some speculations arose in his mind.

This village chief must have done something shameful.

Otherwise, how could the village chief of Yueying Island have so much money to build a big villa? I heard that the villa including the garden covers nearly one acre. This is an island, and the cost of materials is more expensive than on land.

And judging from the foreman's tone, it was obvious that the villagers had some guesses, but due to the prestige of the village chief, they could only explain it vaguely, or tell it as a joke to outsiders.

Natsukawa and Asai Narimi arrived at the door of the village office bathroom.

Before he even entered, Xia Chuan discovered something with his nose twitching.

The bathroom is divided into men's and women's sides. As soon as he arrived at the door, Xia Chuan smelled a bloody smell. It was not very strong, but mixed with other smells. If you were not a person who was sensitive to blood, you would definitely not be able to detect it.

"What's wrong?" Asai Narumi stopped and, as a transvestite, he stood at the door consciously, indicating that I could not enter the men's restroom.

"It's okay." Xia Chuan looked at him strangely but said nothing, not revealing the other person's real gender.

I don't know if there is a bathhouse on Moon Shadow Island. If there is, this guy probably...

Suddenly, when Natsukawa raised his leg to step in, Conan whizzed past.

The blue figure was extremely fast. If Xia Chuan hadn't noticed that he was following him, he would have really run in.

"Hey, what are you doing, Conan!"

Xiachuan grabbed Conan's collar tightly and lifted him up easily. Conan struggled with his hands and feet like a little chicken for a long time but couldn't get free.

I hate kids.

Conan sighed and changed his expression. His innocent eyes were as big as copper bells, trying to melt Xiachuan into cuteness.

"Uncle Xiachuan, can I go in and take a look? Uncle Maori asked me to come over."

"Conan, don't talk nonsense. Uncle Maori clearly didn't ask you to come here. You ran over here when Uncle Maori wasn't paying attention."

Anya looked at Conan with dead eyes.

Hehe, she finally found the opportunity.

"Children should not lie. If Conan is not well behaved, I will tell Uncle Maori later."

Aniya did not mention Xiaolan, because Xiaolan would not build a pagoda on Conan's head, only Uncle Maori would do that.

Xia Chuan thought about it and put Conan on the ground: "You can go in, but don't make trouble. There may be the body of the Kuroiwa village chief inside."

Please, I'm not afraid.

Conan glared at Anya after landing, not caring whether he would be punched later. Investigating the case was the most important thing now, and he was very concerned about the situation of the village chief Kuroiwa.

His detective intuition told him that the chief of Kuroiwa village might know Keiji Aso.

According to the letter sent to the office, there will be a shadow hour on the next full moon of Moon Shadow Island.

I'm afraid the disappearance of this shadow refers to the murder case.

However, the full moon is clearly tomorrow night. Logically, even if the Kuroiwa village chief was the murderer's target, the time of death should have been tomorrow.

It should still be early.

Humph, the shadow disappeared? Let me, Detective Kudo Washing Machine, stop it!

Conan's mind was full of thoughts, and the moment he stepped into the men's restroom, he smelled something unusual.

There is a smell of blood.

I didn't notice it at the door, but the smell of blood became much stronger after I came in.

However, after scanning the entire toilet, he did not find anything unusual.

strangeness.

Conan turned his gaze to the three compartments with closed doors.

"Did you find anything?"

Xia Chuan approached and looked around, frowning deeply.

There was a strong smell of blood, but no dead bodies were seen.

And this is different from what we agreed!

That's not the script.

He remembered this case very clearly. Village chief Kuroiwa was not the first person to die. The first person to die should be the village chief candidate Kawashima Hideo.

This gets a little tricky.

What exactly went wrong here?

Did someone take action before Asai Narimi? What was the reason? Could it be related to the business that Kuroiwa Tatsuji was secretly running?

As he was thinking, Conan had already pushed open the door of the first compartment.

No!

It was clean inside, with no sign of anyone having even gone to the toilet.

The second compartment was pushed open, and it was still empty.

"Let me do it." Xiachuan lifted Conan aside and opened the door of the third compartment himself.

As soon as the door was opened, the rusty smell of blood hit me in the face, and a head was hanging on the water hole of the toilet.
