Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 216: Departure! Moon Shadow Island
"Miss Ota is so pitiful..." Kisaki Eri looked at Ota Yuuka who was taken into the police car, her eyes full of pity, "If it were me, I would definitely not be able to accept it."

"Who made her cheat in the first place?" Lin Xiuyi shook his head slightly. "Although Nakajima Ryosuke is dead, his revenge was successful. This painful memory will follow Ota Yuka like a shadow for the rest of her life."

"If cheating means revenge," Kisaki Eri narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Hayashi Hideichi, "Do you think Nakajima Ryosuke's revenge method is better, or like Abe Sada's?"

It was obvious that she was saying something with a hidden meaning. Lin Xiuyi didn't dare to interrupt her. He quickly pretended to be sleepy and stretched himself: "Hey, what did you say just now? I was too sleepy to hear..."

Kisaki Eri snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

……

On Saturday morning, soft sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and fell on Lin Xiuyi's face.

Reiko was taken home by her parents last night. Lin Xiuyi, who had returned to living alone, was soundly sleeping when he was woken up by the urgent ringing of the phone in the living room.

He answered the phone in a daze, and heard the excited voice of Kiyomizu: "Xueyi, are you ready?"

"What are you ready for?" Lin Xiuyi's head was still a mess and he didn't react at all.

"Of course we're going to Moon Shadow Island. You wouldn't have forgotten, would you?" Kisaki Eri's voice rose a few degrees, with a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiuyi raised his head helplessly and looked at the wall clock with sleepy eyes. There were still two or three hours before the departure time for Yueying Island.

"Eri, it's still early, there's no need to be so anxious, right?"

On the other end of the line, Hibiki Eri was clearly excited about her trip to Yueying Island to spend some time alone with Lin Xiuyi. Her voice was filled with unconcealed joy. "I'm packing now. I'm afraid I'll be in a rush and forget something."

"In addition to a change of clothes, I also brought a camera. Oh, and a skirt Liuli gave me. I plan to take it to the island to take pictures. I also brought a sun hat..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu could no longer hold back: "Yingli, we'll only be staying for one night at most. We don't need to bring anything. Just keep it simple. The environment on the island over there doesn't need to be too particular."

Kisaki Eri muttered a few words somewhat unwillingly, then hung up the phone.

Lin Xiuyi stretched and went back to bed to catch up on some sleep before getting up and packing his things slowly.

When the time was almost up, he picked up his keys and backpack and went to the agreed place to wait for Kisaki Eri.

When Lin Xiuyi arrived at the agreed intersection, he saw from afar Kisaki Eri carrying a large suitcase and walking towards him briskly.

Lin Xiuyi could only greet him with a headache: "Yingli, didn't I tell you not to bring too much stuff? Why did you bring such a big suitcase?"

Kisaki Eri blinked and said confidently, "Even if I'm only staying for one night, I still need to bring a lot of things, such as my pajamas, slippers, towels, and toothpaste..."

Lin Xiuyi shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say. He could only take the suitcase from Kisaki Eri's hand, and the two walked towards the station together.

……

The two took the tram to the pier. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying a hint of salty sea air. Lin Xiuyi and Kisaki Eri lined up at the ticket window and bought tickets for the boat to Yueying Island.

Lin Xiuyi originally thought that there should be few people, but after boarding the ship, he found that there were unexpectedly many passengers on the ship.

Passengers were standing or sitting on the deck, with conversations and laughter heard one after another.

The passenger ship slowly sailed out of the harbor. Lin Xiuyi sat next to Kisaki Eri and gave her a brief introduction to Yueying Island. "Yueying Island is a small island in the Izu Islands. Most of the islanders make a living by fishing, and their lives are very simple. There aren't many prosperous facilities on the island, but I heard that the scenery is very beautiful. In the summer, many people go there specifically to enjoy the scenery."

Kisaki Eri listened with great interest, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "It sounds interesting. I've never been to an island like this before, Shuichi. I'll wait for you to investigate..."

"Shh!" Lin Xiuyi quickly covered the girl's mouth, indicating that there was a Yueying Islander next to her.

Hibiki Eri nodded, and after Lin Xiuyi let go of her hand, she couldn't wait to ask, "What about the hotel? Did you call to reserve the hotel we're staying at tonight?"

"It's not the tourist season to go to Yueying Island now," Lin Xiuyi scratched his head. "I don't think we need to book a room. We can decide once we get to the island."

"Are you two going to Moon Shadow Island?"

A middle-aged man with dark skin and squinty eyes heard the conversation between the two and came over with a kind smile on his face.
"If you don't book a hotel in advance, you might not have a place to stay when you get to the island."

"No way?" Kisaki Eri asked in surprise, "Aren't there any hotels on the island? How come there's not even a place to stay?"

"Moon Shadow Island isn't very big. There's only one small hotel on the island. Normally, the hotel would be almost empty. But these past two days, Aso Keiji is holding a piano performance on the island," the middle-aged man pointed at the people on the ferry. "They're all going to hear Aso's performance, and the rooms in the hotel on the island have already been fully booked."

When Fei Yingli heard this, she immediately gave Lin Xiuyi a sidelong glance and said, "If we don't have a place to stay, are we going to sleep on the beach tonight?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Aso's concert to attract so many guests," Lin Xiuyi said with some regret. "When I checked the information earlier, it clearly said that there were not many tourists going to Yueying Island. If I had known, I would have booked a room in advance."

"Haha, if you two don't have anywhere to stay, why don't you stay at my house temporarily?" Squinting eyes revealed a warm smile, "I happen to have a spare room."

"This..." Kisaki Eri turned to look at her childhood sweetheart.

"Thank you so much," Lin Xiuyi hurriedly thanked him, "We will definitely pay for the accommodation."

"My house isn't a hotel, you don't have to pay," he said with squinting eyes. "The island is usually very quiet, so it's rare to see it bustling for a few days, and I'm happy."

The two sides started chatting, and Lin Xiuyi soon learned that the man with squinty eyes was called Shimizu Masato, and he was a fisherman on Yueying Island.

"From what you two were saying just now, it doesn't sound like you're going to Aso's piano recital," Shimizu Masato asked curiously, "but apart from that, there doesn't seem to be anything else fun on Tsukikage Island."

"We're just high school students," Lin Xiuyi explained. "We rarely have weekends, and we want to go somewhere far away, but we don't have enough money, so naturally we can only choose a place closer."

"Is that so?" Shimizu Masato nodded in understanding. "Our island is quiet and peaceful, and it's really suitable for couples like you to spend some quality time together..."
