Keep busy in the world of Detective Conan
Chapter 37 Moonlight Redemption (2)
The outline of a ship appeared in the distance on the sea covered by thick fog, and the sound of the whistle "Woo...!" resounded across the sea.
The camera zoomed in, and a familiar voice came from above. It was Maori Kogoro complaining. He had one hand on the edge of the boat, dragging his chin, and the other hand on the edge of the boat. He had a toothpick in his mouth, his eyes looking into the distance, muttering to himself, and complaining:
"Really? We could just go enjoy the flowers! Why did I, the famous detective, Mouri Kogoro, have to go to that island? That letter I received a week ago, it made me..."
"On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island. Please investigate the cause, Aso Keiji..."
"Duluduludulu... Ah, yes, the Mori Detective Agency,
"There are still two days until the full moon. The handling fee of 500,000 yuan has been remitted in full. You must come."
Wait, wait, who are you?
'Aso Keiji of Tsukikage Island!'
Hey, wait a minute, listen to me, hey, hey!"
He recalled.
"Really? How can you force others to do things..."
He continued speechlessly.
"This is great, because we can relax on the small island in the Izu Islands, right, Conan~"
"Um…!"
Conan and Xiaolan spoke in unison from behind.
"Yeah, Uncle Maori, what's the big deal? It's a rare opportunity to come out, so why not go to the island and experience modern island life from time to time? That's what life is all about!"
"But then again, I thought you meant to wait a few days, but it was actually the next day. I was so busy packing my travel luggage yesterday...!"
Hua Lantian, carrying a bulging travel backpack and wearing sunglasses, walked over with his hands in his pockets and said.
"I didn't expect this. At first I thought you were just here to play, but now it seems like you have important work to do. But it's okay, Uncle Maori. I will do my best to help you solve the emergency as soon as possible.
"And I think that with Uncle Maori's ability as a famous detective, anything can be easily solved. I'll just add the icing on the cake. When everything is settled, we can have a good rest! Maybe we can even have a few drinks then, hahahaha...!"
Hua Lantian walked to Kogoro Maori and said confidently.
"Yeah, hahahaha, that's right. With your insight, Lan Tian, no villain can escape the combination of the two of us...!"
When Maori Kogoro heard Hua Lantian praising his professional ability, and after so many contacts with him, he also found that this young man was indeed very extraordinary, and the level of his performance exceeded that of ordinary police officers, so he patted his chest to express his appreciation, and then started his classic laugh.
They quickly got ashore and found that Moon Shadow Island didn't seem very lively. The pier, which should be the busiest place on an island, was deserted.
(Any knowledgeable readers out there can check to see if what I said is correct. Regarding this, is the pier usually the busiest place on a small island? I can also learn more about it. Thanks for your advice! (^~^))
A few of them looked around curiously for a few times, and then didn't think much about it. After all, this was not within their business scope, and Hua Lantian was too lazy to care about this island where drug dealers had appeared. At least from the original drama, it could be seen that they were doing well.
They asked someone for directions, then headed to the Civil Affairs Bureau, where they planned to check for any information about the sender.
(I don't know what that one is called anymore, so I won't look it up. Time is a bit tight, so I'll just go with the way we call it here. \(;′□`)/)
"Aso... Keiji... I can't find this name, that's strange!"
The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau was looking through the list of people on the island and said something strange.
"Please look carefully again, there's a letter he sent me...!"
Kogoro Mouri was a little bit unconvinced, then he took out a letter sent by "Keiji Aso" to prove himself.
"But it's not registered on the resident register! I'm new to the island, so I don't know..."
The staff member touched his head and said helplessly and embarrassedly.
"What happened!"
A man in a suit came over and asked.
"Director, I heard that this gentleman came here at the request of the island residents."
The staff member looked at his director and answered.
"Please?"
"Yes! It's a man named Keiji Aso...!"
"what?!"
The director with glasses said in horror.
"Are you talking about Aso Keiji?!!!"
He shouted directly, and everyone in the Civil Affairs Bureau looked at them at the same time, and then all those who knew something started gossiping.
"That's impossible! Because, he, he died more than ten years ago!"
The director's face was a little grim at this time, and he said in disbelief.
Good guy, except for Hua Lantian, no one seemed surprised at all, but he still pretended to be surprised as usual. Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro looked at him with exaggerated expressions, as if what he said was fake. Conan was also a little surprised as usual, he was no longer surprised...
"He was born on this island and was once a famous pianist. It happened twelve years ago, on a full moon night. After many years, he returned to his hometown and held a piano concert in the village community center.
Unfortunately, after the concert, he suddenly locked himself in his home with his family and set a fire. It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife. In the raging flames, he seemed to be entangled in something and continued to play the piano. It was Beethoven's piano sonata, "Moonlight"...!
The director recalled.
(One thing worth complaining about is how everyone knows so much about it, and can they even reconstruct the scene... (⊙_☉) I can't understand it)
Except for Conan who was listening calmly with a serious face, Kogoro Mouri and Ran both had very strange expressions and looked a little scared.
(It seems that Maori Kogoro is also afraid of ghosts, and his daughter is also an ancestral fear.)
"Alright, alright, you've probably been scammed. He has no relatives left in this world, so please don't worry about the dead. Now that you're on the island, just have fun..."
After the director finished his recollection, he started to drive people away. The story of Keiji Aso had almost become a taboo on the island. After all, the incident was too unbelievable and shocking.
He didn't expect that the few people who came to the island today were actually brought by a dead person. It was too exaggerated... In order not to think about it anymore, he prepared to drive them away.
“Hey, hey, hey, this director…!”
Just as Kogoro Mouri was about to say something, he was pushed out the door by the director.
Then the remaining Xiaolan followed out with a bit of fear, Hua Lantian followed with an indifferent expression, and finally Conan, with a serious face as if he was thinking about something, also came out helplessly.
"Damn it! They look like they're already avoiding this person, but this is actually a letter from the deceased...! What a terrible prank...!"
After being pushed out, Kogoro Mouri first stood there and cursed a few words, then sat down, held his chin up, looked at the letter and said.
Just as he was about to crumple the letter and throw it away, a voice interrupted him, "That's not necessarily the case, Uncle Maori!"
"Because of the handling fee, how could a dead person send you a letter and even pay you the handling fee? Plus, this postmark is from Moon Shadow Island!"
Hua Lantian looked at the letter and said.
"So, Uncle Maori, I think someone on the island must have sent this to you with some purpose! And I'm sure that the end result of this purpose will be good!"
he added.
Conan saw that Hua Lantian had taken his job, and he pouted in frustration, but he still filled in the gaps that Hua Lantian had deliberately missed.
"I think this person probably wants to ask Uncle to help him investigate the matter of that person named Aso Keiji. Maybe he is his friend...!"
At this time, Kogoro Mouri calmed down and continued to read the letter, hoping to find some details.
"Oh, Dad, we can go ask the village chief, maybe we can find some clues, okay?"
Xiaolan also thought of something and reminded her father who was thinking hard.
"Okay, I just heard him say that the village chief should be in the community center..."
Kogoro Mouri immediately decided to follow his daughter's advice and go to the community center to find the village chief. He called on his "sons" to follow him, and then walked out quickly.
On the way, they saw a clinic with "Yueying Island Clinic" written in large traditional Chinese characters on the gate.
At the entrance of the clinic, a "female" doctor in a white coat was bending over, supporting her knees, and speaking gently to the little boy in front of her.
"Got it, Kenta? Make sure you get a good night's sleep when you get home..."
"Okay, I understand. Goodbye!" the little boy said very obediently, and then waved goodbye to her.
"goodbye!"
"Excuse me, could you tell me where the community center is?" Xiaolan stopped the "female" doctor who was about to return to the clinic and asked for directions.
"Yes, after turning the corner ahead, just go straight to the end!"
The "female" doctor pointed her finger at a place and spoke very politely.
She found the atmosphere of the family she had before was really good, and reminded her of her childhood. However, she also noticed that there was a handsome young man behind the Maori family, who must have come with them.
But this person was very strange. He seemed to see her as if she were some kind of monster. He was a little far away and kept making some strange movements.
This person is of course our protagonist Hua Lantianlai. Although he doesn’t seem like anything special when watching him on TV, this is real.
He found that if the person in front of him didn't admit it, it was really impossible to tell that he was a man just by looking at him like that. When he thought about how similar this transvestite looked, he got goosebumps all over his body, so he stayed a little distance away.
The "female" doctor didn't pay any attention to the handsome young man's strange behavior. She thought he might be a little shy. After all, the women's clothing store he ran often got him into trouble.
She asked, half guessing, "Are you from Tokyo?"
"Yes, I came here on the boat just now." Seeing her enthusiasm, Xiaolan also responded. After all, they are both "girls" so they may have a natural affinity with the same sex. Both of them are warm-hearted people.
"I was born in Tokyo, too! This island is so different from Tokyo, isn't it amazing? The air is so fresh, and it's so quiet..."
The "female" doctor said happily, and then opened her arms. However, just when she was quiet, she was slapped in the face.
"Shimizu, Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato...!"
A van with a flag with its name on it and a horn on its roof sped past them, stirring up a breeze that lifted the hem of the "female" doctor's white coat.
"But this is an exception...! Because the village chief election is coming soon..."
She said awkwardly as she looked at the direction the car was going away.
"Village chief election?" Kogoro Mouri said in confusion.
"The candidates include Mr. Shimizu, the current fishermen's representative, Mr. Kuroiwa, the current village chief whose reputation has recently declined, and Mr. Kawashima, the island's largest property owner."
(Speaking of the surname Kawashima, it is really familiar to people. I wonder if you have heard of Kawashima Yoshiko, whose Chinese name is Jin Bihui,
This woman was originally the fourteenth daughter of Aixinjueluo Shanqi, the Prince of Heshuo Su of the Qing Dynasty. Later, under a series of operations by her father, she became a Japanese spy and performed a series of very exaggerated operations. If you are interested, you can search for it. Of course, the most intuitive way is to watch the TV series or movie "The Last Emperor".
I can only say that he is a person who is both hateful and pitiful. However, people often say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Maybe this is the case.
Also, the comments on the TV version were all about Yoshiko Kawashima and her adoptive father, Hayami Kawashima. I feel like the popular science part is redundant (′?_?`) Just think of it as a word count increase…)
"The patients' opinions should all be voted for Mr. Kawashima..."
The "female" doctor pretended to think and then continued.
"Okay, Miss Nurse, we have no interest in the village chief election..."
Seeing that she was about to continue talking, Kogoro Mouri hurriedly stopped her. He was speechless. This nurse was such a chatterbox.
"I'm the doctor here, Asai Narimi, and I have a formal medical license~"
Seeing Kogoro Mouri questioning her profession, "female" doctor Asai said this.
“So he’s a doctor…”
Kogoro Maori said a little embarrassedly.
"If you go to the community center, you might run into the three people I just mentioned, because tonight there's a memorial service for the former village chief, Kameyama, on his third anniversary..."
She added her reasons for mentioning those three people.
"The former village chief..."
"The third anniversary inheritance..."
Conan and Maori Kogoro said one after another.
.........
Then they followed Dr. Asai's directions and headed for the community center. Our Hua Lantian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to be forced to be gay...ヽ( ′?`)ノ
