Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall
Chapter 29 Moon Shadow Island
"Huh? You received a commission to go out of town? And you have to go now?!"
Unfortunately, what Conan expected did not happen. The two had just returned to the office when they learned that Kogoro Mouri had accepted a commission from another place, and he was about to set off now, immediately!
"There's nothing I can do!"
As Maori packed his luggage, he scratched his head in frustration.
"If I had this free time, wouldn't it be nice if I could just watch Ms. Yoko's concert at home? But who told that damn client to deposit the commission fee into my account along with the letter of commission?"
If the client hadn't sent the commission fee, he wouldn't have bothered to make such a long journey!
He wasn't really short of money lately anyway. Under Xiaolan's strict supervision, he hadn't been smoking, drinking, or playing pachinko lately, and he'd saved a lot from previous commissions! Under those circumstances, simple local commissions were fine, but going out of town? He didn't have the time for that!
"Speaking of which, should I save some money and secretly buy some beer and cigarettes?"
Middle-aged Maori Kogoro finally understood why men have the habit of saving private money! Although there is no wife to control it, but the daughter's control is more terrible than the wife's control!
"Dad? Are you thinking about something bad?"
Just as Maori was thinking, Xiaolan's voice suddenly rang out.
"No! I'm not thinking about private money..."
Although he quickly realized the key point, the quick-talking Maori had already exposed his thoughts.
"dad!"
Looking at Kogoro Mouri who was suppressed by Xiaolan, Conan shook his head helplessly.
"But then again, paying the commission upfront? This sounds so familiar! Could it be..."
If he remembered correctly, there was only one rich client who hid his identity and paid money to Uncle Maori in advance!
"Uncle Maori, what's the client's name? And why are you in such a hurry to leave tonight?"
Although he already had a guess in his mind, just in case, Conan still raised his head and asked with an ignorant look.
"The client, I think his name is Keiji Aso! He just sent me a letter of authorization... To be frank, if I hadn't actually received the commissioned money in my account, I would have thought it was a curse letter! Whose letter of authorization is made out of cut-up newspapers?"
Ignoring Maori's complaints, when Conan heard the name Keiji Aso, he knew that his guess was correct. This case was the case of Tsukikage Island that would affect Conan's future values!
Although I didn't notice any changes in Conan's values from beginning to end!
"But Masashi, try to see if you can save him! After all, such a high-quality cross-dressing man is really too rare!"
Just kidding, actually, the reason why I wanted to try to save Masamichi was simply because I couldn’t stand the ending!
Although Conan knew very well what Masamichi was carrying, and knew that many murderers in this world killed people because of blood feuds (except for the mentally ill and idiots), why did they, those innocent people, have to have their hands stained with blood?
However, the island nation's judicial rules are based on the presumption of innocence! Even if the murderer is known, he cannot be convicted without evidence!
In this situation, even if they know who killed their parents, without evidence, even the judicial authorities cannot arrest the murderer! And facing the culprit who killed their loved ones, how can they live a good life?
Why, when Asami's parents and family were all killed by those culprits, are they able to live happily and at large on the island?
Why should Masashi pay the price for his actions even though he avenged his parents?
There's a saying that goes, "It's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet." But why did those rubbish get their retribution twelve years late? Did they get to live happily for twelve years?
Although I don't really agree with what Director Ochiai did, what he said makes sense:
"The devil was killed by the knight of justice, but the knight, stained by the blood of evil, also became evil. Regardless of the reason, I am also a murderer, and I have become a devil."
But why do the perpetrators of violence go unpunished, while those who have been harmed can only live with their grievances? Why can't they be judged by the beings that symbolize justice only after they have become demons?
For example, Asano Minoru, or Shimabukuro Kimie... Which of them isn't an innocent, kind person? Which of them wants to kill?
However, they could not bear the hatred and watch the enemies who killed their families go unpunished. Therefore, they were forced to join the game and become knights who killed demons and then became infected.
However, all of this is just the original development! Now that I have come to this world, I naturally have to find a way to change it all!
Innocent people, kind people. Those who can be saved, those who can be redeemed, it is better not to let them step into the abyss!
And it all starts from Moon Shadow Island!
"By the way, uncle, you haven't told me yet why you are in such a hurry to leave!"
After roughly recalling the plot of Tsukikage Island, Conan asked Maori. If he remembered correctly, in the original anime, it took Maori several days from the time he received the commission to Tsukikage Island to the time he set off!
"Well..."
Under Conan's urging, Maori shifted his gaze guiltily.
"Dad? Is there anything else?"
Seeing this, Xiaolan stopped dealing with her father and looked at Kogoro Mouri with some concern.
"Well, no...it's just...I haven't seen this letter of commission before..."
Mao Li's voice gradually faded. Although he had received the commission money about three days ago, by then Xiaolan had already begun to control his pocket money! Mao Li, mistaking it for income from a previous commission, was simply happy about this windfall and secretly went out for a few drinks.
While he was out drinking, he'd read the newspaper and other things. As a result, he hadn't dealt with the mail in his mailbox after returning. It wasn't until today, when he was cleaning his mailbox, that he noticed the letter of commission.
Mao Li, who had almost spent all the commission money, naturally had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Yueying Island. However, the full moon night mentioned in the commission letter was today!
