Chapter 93: The Entrustment of the Full Moon Night

March 31, Sunday, the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar.

After having breakfast today, Yamazaki walked slowly to the Mori Detective Agency next door. In the office, Lan is taking Conan to clean up at the end of the month, and Maori is lying behind the desk watching TV, but he doesn't look energetic. Yamazaki understood that Mori was still worrying about that matter, too, that day was coming soon. But this is not about Yamazaki, so Yamazaki asks Lan for a glass of water, and reads the morning paper on the sofa.

After the Akagi Quantum incident, the detective agency has not received any decent commissions. This week, apart from receiving a commission letter, there is not even a single commission letter. Moreover, this commission letter has become a trouble for Maori. source. This entrustment letter arrived four days ago. It was a weird entrustment letter, because it was not written directly by hand, but was composed of letters of different sizes and colors pasted one by one. The content of the letter is like this, on the night of the next full moon, shadows will start to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island, please investigate clearly, Keiji Aso.

Maori's annoyance is that reading this letter means that something bad is about to happen on Moon Shadow Island, and his sense of justice wants him to stop it. However, a small island like Moon Shadow Island... and it didn't say anything... If it's a waste of time, wouldn't it be posted upside down? His professionalism prevents him from doing this kind of thing. Therefore, Mao Li's mood has been a little tangled these days.

Not long after Yamazaki sat down, the phone on the desk rang. Picking up the phone casually, Maori said weakly, "Hello, Maori Detective Agency."

"Two days until the full moon," said a man.

"Full Moon?" Mao Li cheered up and immediately asked, "Who are you?"

"Aso Keiji from Moon Shadow Island." The man introduced himself and wanted to hang up the phone.

"Wait a minute, listen to me." Maori shouted immediately, "Hello..."

"By the way," Aso Keiji said again, "I've prepared the commission fee of 500,000 yuan, you must come and get it." He hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Throwing the microphone on the phone, Mao Li complained: "Really, he is a guy talking to himself." Then he laughed, "But for the sake of 500,000 yuan, I forgive you." Then everyone He smiled and said, "Okay, I've decided to go to Moon Shadow Island early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

"I'm going too. I've long wanted to relax on a small island in the Izu Islands." Lan smiled, "It's just a holiday, and we just happened to go together." Then he asked, "Isn't it, Conan?" At the same time, I thought, let It's too dangerous for you to go alone, I must go together.

"Yes." Conan immediately agreed.

Yamazaki said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what he said, it has to be approved by his boss Mei Daizi."

"Okay," Lan said, "I'll talk to Mei Daizi tonight, it's a big deal and I'll make it up later." Then he asked, "Isn't it, Conan?"

"Yeah, yeah." Conan replied with a wry smile. ...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

After sitting down at seven o'clock, Lan told Mei Daizi about this matter through Qingzi. Before Mei Daizi could speak, Kaito, who was sitting next to Conan, protested: "No, I protest, you want I'm going, then I'm going too."

"The protest is invalid." Mei Daizi said angrily, "I didn't leave you alone. Moon Shadow Island is not interesting, I won't go." Then she said to Lan, "You guys go." Then she asked loudly , "Brother, how many days will you go there?"

think about it,

Yamazaki, who was sitting next to Kaito, said, "I don't know, it will take at least one night, maybe two nights."

"Then including the nights of the previous few days, it will be three nights. In this case, it will take six more days." Mei Daizi said, "Conan, you have to remember well, don't forget."

"Okay." Conan, who was sitting next to Lan, smiled wryly, "I will."

"How about it," Mei Daizi said to Kaidou, "I don't have any objections now."

"No." Kaito laughed, "Not at all."...

At this time, at the counter in front, Mori was talking to Miko Miyamoto.

Touching his face with his fingers, Maori said shyly, "Well, Miko, can you lend me a yacht."

"No problem." Miko Miyamoto replied immediately.

Maori immediately smiled and said, "That's great."

"The fuel cost is 30% for you," Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Helicopters are borrowed for free."

"No, no," Mao Li said hastily, "Small ones, as long as I want a small one, half of the gas fee as usual."

"This is already the smallest." Miyamoto Miko said with a helpless smile, "The others who are smaller than it have been destroyed by Mei Daizi one after another in the past few years."

"Then pretend I didn't say it." Maori said and wanted to leave.

"How about the fishing boat?" Miko Miyamoto smiled. "It doesn't cost money. The 2nd is Tuesday. You can go there on a fishing boat."

"That's great." Maori smiled immediately, "Thank you so much."...

April 2, Tuesday, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

In the early morning, an ocean-going fishing boat approached Moon Shadow Island in the thick fog. This was the boat of the four Maori. Just now, a crew member informed them that Moon Shadow Island was coming soon, so they came out of the cabin, wanting to see what Moon Shadow Island was like.

"Ah, ah sneeze!" Blown by the sea breeze, Maori sneezed immediately, and then looked at the very blurry island in the distance, and couldn't help complaining, "Really, everyone in the world is admiring flowers, why am I called Detective Maori? Kogoro, you must go to that kind of island."

Conan whispered, "You didn't come by yourself."

"If he doesn't come, why are you here?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "You must have wanted to come after seeing that letter."

"What are you talking about?" Lan asked.

"We're talking about when the fog will clear," Yamazaki said with a smile, "so you can't see anything clearly."

"It should be soon," Lan said, and then said pleasantly, "Look, it's already starting to disperse." Then looking at the island that was slowly approaching, she couldn't help but admire, "It's so beautiful."

"What's so beautiful," Maori said angrily, "This kind of island..."

"Seeing so much green above, it should be an undeveloped island." Yamazaki said, "If there is no electricity..."

"Ah!" Lan said in surprise, "No way."

"Don't worry, Sister Lan," Conan said with a smile, "Didn't Keiji Aso call? Even if you have a phone, there will definitely be electricity."

"Okay, I've seen the island too," Maori said, "Go back, take a rest and get ready to go to the island."...

After the ocean-going fishing boat put the four of them down, they left. The four of them inquired all the way, and soon arrived at the village office.

At this time, many villagers in the village office, in twos and threes, were sitting and talking together. Looking at the young staff sitting behind the sign at the reception desk, Mori asked, "Hello, may I ask where Mr. Keiji Aso lives? He entrusted me to come here."

"Ah, please wait a moment, let me look it up." The staff member looked it up in the resident booklet and said, "It's weird, I can't find the name Keiji Aso."

"Please look for it more carefully, okay?" Maori said, "By the way, here is a letter he sent me." Then he took out the entrustment letter.

The staff said in embarrassment: "However, there is no record of his registration in the resident register. I also just came to this island, so I don't know much about it."

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "What happened?"

"Ah, Director, it is said that this gentleman came here at the request of the residents of the island," said the staff member, "It is a gentleman named Keiji Aso."

"What?" The director yelled in surprise, "You mean Keiji Aso?"

"Ah..." The villagers sitting around, including the staff in the office, immediately turned pale with fright, and then began to whisper, looking very weird.

Yamazaki asked, "Is there a problem with that?"

"It's impossible for such a thing to happen, because, because..." the director said in fear, "He, he died more than ten years ago."

This surprised the four of Maori together, and then Yamazaki asked curiously: "How did he die?"

"Please follow me." The director said and took them to a side hall.

After sitting down, Yamazaki asked: "Now we can talk."

"He was born on this island, and he is a very famous pianist." The director recalled, "That happened twelve years ago, on a full moon night. After many years, he returned to his hometown. In the public hall, a piano concert was held. However, after the concert, he suddenly closed himself and his family at home and set fire to it. It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. In the raging flames, it seemed that It seems to be entangled by something, and it keeps playing the piano. By the way, it is Beethoven's piano sonata, "Moonlight."

"Oh?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "suicide."

Pulling Mao Li's arm, Lan said in fear, "I'm so afraid of people."

"In that case," Maori said, "then we'll take our leave." Then he stood up and took Yamazaki and the others away. ...
