Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

After the discussion, the two of them groped their way into the community center, carefully opened the warehouse, and began to search the warehouse in the dark under the faint moonlight.

While flipping through the pages, Conan complained in his mind:

"What the hell! This show should be called Detective Conan, not Magic Conan! Why do I look like that Kaito guy?"

It's so dark here! I need to ask Dr. Wang to add a flashlight to my watch when I get back!

This system is really terrible. Wasn't it supposed to help me lock skills? I was looking for something in the dark, and it didn't even give me night vision? Bad review! Must be bad review!

Kaito, who was catching up on his homework, the professor, who was cooking instant noodles, and the system, who was slacking off and watching a TV show, all sneezed.

Although Conan was complaining in his heart, it was a full moon night after all. Even without any lighting equipment, the moonlight shining through the window was barely enough!

Not long after, Conan found a piece of music from a corner.

"Doctor Chengshi! I found a piece of sheet music here. Take a look and see if it's your father's legacy!"

"Really?! Let me see..."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi put down what he was doing and walked towards Conan. He took the music sheet from Conan's hand with a look of joy and carefully examined it in the moonlight.

"...It shouldn't be. This is just an ordinary sheet music! There's no secret code from my father in it."

After reading through the entire music book, Cheng Shi shook his head in disappointment.

"no?!"

Conan was stunned when he heard this. Impossible! Could it be that besides the relics left by Aso Keiji to his son, there are other musical scores preserved here? However, this is not science, nor is it scientific!

"Since it's not, let's look for it again!"

Although Conan had a subtle feeling in his heart, in order to prove that he was just worrying too much, he put the music score in his hand aside and continued to search.

Although Cheng Shi was a little disappointed with the result, seeing that more than half of the warehouse had not been checked, he continued to search.

only......

After searching for a while, Conan frowned and asked with a serious expression:

"Doctor Cheng Shi, did you find the sheet music?"

Cheng Shi shook his head and said honestly:

"Are you sure that thing is stored here? I didn't find anything! Could it be that you made a mistake? My father's relics are not stored here?"

In fact, compared to this, he is more inclined to believe that his father did not actually leave behind any so-called relics.

After hearing Cheng Shi's question, Conan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Huh, my intelligence source is definitely correct, so... Tsk, it seems something unexpected really happened!"

"What do you mean?"

Cheng Shi was stunned when he heard this, not knowing what Conan meant. Conan did not directly respond to his question, but asked:

"You should have heard from Guishan that they also know the secret code in the music score."

Cheng Shi nodded:

"That's right. My father and I originally created the code for the musical notation. We just treated the keys on the keyboard as English letters, and played out what we wanted to say through the keys. Dad always liked to use this method to chat with me when I was young and weak!"

Seeing Cheng Shi lost in his memories again, Conan quickly interrupted:

"Excuse me, I'm just asking you if Guishan and the others know your father's secret code! I'm not asking you to reminisce about your childhood!"

"You little brat, you're so unpleasant."

Cheng Shi, whose memories were interrupted by Conan, glanced at him dissatisfiedly, but still answered honestly:

"I know! This is what Village Chief Guishan told me before he died!"

"If that's the case, then it's correct!"

Conan nodded:

"Since they know the code, why do you think they haven't seen your father's belongings?"

"!"

At this point, Cheng Shi finally realized the crux of the matter. That's right, they clearly pretended to be the first person to discover the crime scene, so they must have seen the things left behind by his father!

But why didn't they realize that he was still alive? He even scared the former village chief to death?!

"You realized it too, right?"

Looking at Chengshi's expression, Conan nodded:

"Since they don't know there's a message for you in this relic, it means they haven't seen the first edition of the music sheet your father left behind!"

No wonder he always felt something was wrong, it turns out the problem lies here!

In the comics, Cheng Shi made it clear in his final confession:

When Kameyama learned that Narimi was Aso Kei's second son, he was so frightened that he told everything. Among his confessions was the code in the musical score.

So the question is, when Conan saw the suicide note, he knew Cheng Shi's identity and the truth hidden in his name. Then, as the murderer who killed Keiji Aso with his own hands, how could those people not pay attention to the only surviving survivor?

Aso Shishi's appearance was innate! Therefore, if they knew in advance that he was still alive, then when they saw this face that looked somewhat similar to Aso Keiji and knew that his name was written the same way as the orphan, how likely would they not be wary of Shishi?

"What you said seems to make sense! Before Guishan died, he seemed to have no idea that I was still alive! But if they didn't know, then where should my father's belongings be?"

After listening to Conan's analysis, Cheng Shi frowned. If what Conan said was true, could there be some hidden reason behind his father's death?

"Don't worry, this person hid your father's relics for other purposes. But..."

Conan said as he looked outside:

"This island may really be like its name, forever obscured by the moon's shadow, never seeing the light of day!"

"?"

Cheng Shi was a little confused by Conan's sudden words. What did it mean to never see the light of day? Was there something wrong with the name Yueying Island?

Seeing Cheng Shi's puzzled expression, Conan shook his head and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Let's go to the police station."
