Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

Ignoring Xiaolan's fear, Megure squatted down with a serious expression, fumbled in the secret compartment under the piano, pinched out some pure white powder again, then gently twisted it twice and smelled the powder.

Then, a mixture of anger, disgust, and vigilance appeared on his face. Finally, Inspector Megure sighed helplessly:

"It really is heroin! You guys have screwed me so badly!"

The amount of heroin in the piano was not large, it was just accidentally spilled, so it’s not a serious problem, but the problem is serious because it affects the person involved.

Who is hiding the secret inside the piano? It's Hirata Kazuaki! It's the secretary of the current village chief, Kuroiwa Tatsuji! So, how likely is it that Kuroiwa, the village chief, didn't know that the secretary was hiding drugs?

Since the village chief knows everything and is most likely involved in this matter, then how many innocent people are there on this island?

This is an island that is almost isolated from the outside world! Although there are transport boats, how many outsiders will participate in this island without any special features?

On an island that is almost isolated from the outside world and has basically no tourists, the current village chief can blatantly damage the interests of the fishermen, the island's main source of income. It is conceivable how terrifying the secrets hidden on this island are!

Thinking of this, Inspector Megure sighed helplessly.

Maori Kogoro saw this and smiled awkwardly. He walked forward and patted Megure's shoulder:

"Don't say that, Officer Megure. Discovering such a massive drug trafficking ring means your contribution is no small feat!"

"Don't bother me!"

Inspector Megure rolled his eyes:

"You know I'm from the non-professional team! Reaching the position of Inspector is basically the end of my career! Even if I have many achievements, they have nothing to do with me!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Conan:

"You little brat, you're really a god of death! Your premonitions are pretty accurate! Brother Maori, next time you take this brat to Mermaid Island, remember to give me a heads-up. I... wait? Mermaid Island isn't within my jurisdiction? That's fine then!"

After finishing speaking, Megure took out his mobile phone and made a call:

"Is this Officer Matsumoto? I'm Megure! Yes, I'm on Tsukikage Island! Yes, there are some problems here... No, I don't want colleagues from the Forensic Department, I need a lot of police officers! Preferably colleagues with guns! It would be best if the armed forces were involved!

That's right, it's not a murder case, nor a serial killer case, but a more serious drug trafficking case! According to our investigation, the village chief of this island may be involved in a drug trafficking case!

No, we have not found direct evidence to prove that the village chief is involved in this case, but according to the currently known information, the village chief's secretary is involved in the drug trafficking case!

OK, I get it! We'll be careful!

Okay, during this time, we will try our best to gather evidence of the village chief's involvement in the case, as well as intelligence on villagers who may be involved!"

After hanging up the phone, Megure breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said to the three Maori people:

"Okay, I've already contacted support! But considering the time issue, it may take some time for support to arrive! During this time, we have to find a way to ensure our own safety."

Mao Li nodded when he heard this:

"That's right, Xiaolan, you and Conan must remain cautious from now on! You know, we don't know how many people on this island are involved in this drug trafficking gang. The worst case scenario is that everyone on this island may be involved. So, from now on, you must be vigilant at all times!"

"I, I know!"

Hearing her father's serious warning, Xiaolan nodded, her fists clenched unconsciously. If it were a ghost or something, she might still be a little worried, but as long as the opponent was human, unless they took out their guns immediately, otherwise, she would let them know the power of karate!

Besides, although this country does not ban guns, it is basically impossible to legally own guns on a large scale! Therefore, she was not worried about being surrounded and pointed at with guns.

Seeing that Xiaolan understood the seriousness of the situation, and knowing her strength, Maori nodded slightly. Next, it was up to their acting skills.

Several people carefully restored the room, cleaned up the traces of their entry, carefully retreated from the room, and then stood at the door, waiting quietly.

Soon, Hirata Kazuaki came running over, sweating profusely.

"Hey, everyone, the village chief has already agreed to meet you! Please, please follow me to the living room!"

Hirata spoke to the others breathlessly.

Mao Li nodded and was about to follow when Hirata suddenly took a deep breath and said:

"Sorry, please wait a moment. Today is the anniversary of the death of the former village chief of Guishan. To prevent his ghost from haunting us, according to the wizard's request, we need to reseal this cursed piano today!"

After saying that, he gave Maori and the others an apologetic smile, then pushed open the door and walked into the room where the piano was stored.

Seeing that there was almost no difference inside from before, Hirata Kazuaki was obviously relieved. Then he carefully checked the piano, especially when checking the side of the piano. He carefully stretched out a hand and groped under the piano.

After confirming that there was no problem with the secret compartment under the piano, he turned around and said to the others with a smile:

"Alright, the piano has been sealed. Now, please follow me to meet the village chief!"

Seeing Hirata's nonchalant behavior, several people's eyes twitched. However, considering that they knew the purpose of Hirata and Akira's actions because they knew the secret of the piano, they did not comment on their actions and simply followed them towards the living room.

......

"Sure enough, no useful clues were obtained."

After a while, Mao Li came out of the reception room with a helpless sigh. Not to mention the drug problem, he hadn't even gained any useful clues about Aso Keiji's commission.

Apart from knowing Keiji Aso's past interpersonal relationships and that his entire family was extinct, no other useful information was collected.

"After all, he did something like that, so it's impossible for him to be so tight-lipped!"

Megure spoke with a serious expression.

"Anyway, next, be careful and collect more intelligence!"
