Zongman: This friendly communication system is too friendly

"Of course." Uncle Maori smiled foolishly. "We are very grateful that Dr. Asai has told us everything he knows."

"Thank you for your understanding." Asai Narumi slightly curled the corners of his lips, and that youthful smile made Uncle Maori a little dazed.

"As you know, I've said before, I don't usually pay much attention to the news, so most of what I know about the island comes from my patients."

Asai Narumi coughed twice, as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable, and seemed to want to speak more clearly.

He then slowly continued, "Once, an elderly man came to the hospital. He was very ill. My conditions here are poor, and I couldn't treat him, so he was eventually sent off the island for treatment. I haven't heard from him since, and I'm really sorry."

Although Asai Narumi said this, Wang Changsheng, who was standing beside him, felt that there seemed to be a hint of joy in his tone.

Of course, he wasn't sure if it was his illusion, because in fact, Asai Narumi's words sounded full of sadness that his patient might have encountered the most tragic situation.

Uncle Maori's face showed a hint of sympathy.

After all, he was sent out for treatment, but there was no news since then. I'm afraid that the old man had passed away long ago.

"It's weird."

However, at this moment, Conan, who was unconventional, suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Asai Narimi looked at him, "Little brother, what's so strange?"

Conan was pulled in front of Xiaolan. Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to him, he tilted his head and said with a puzzled look:

"Isn't it strange?

If the old man was cured, shouldn't he have come back? If he wasn't cured, shouldn't he have come back as well?

Logically speaking, residents of an island like this should take these customs more seriously, right?

If the old man passed away, there is a high probability that he would be sent back to the island for burial, right?"

Conan's tone was innocent and naive, like a child simply asking his own questions - of course, at this moment he was just a child.

"That makes sense..." Hearing Conan's words, Uncle Maori touched his chin with one hand, his eyebrows raised suddenly, and his eyes also fell on Asai Narumi, and his gaze became a little strange.

But before he could say anything, Conan interrupted him again: "Of course, if the old man has been receiving treatment outside the island, then it is normal that there has been no news."

"That makes sense..." Uncle Maori touched his chin again.

But he soon realized what was happening and glared.

Isn't it the same as not saying anything?

This little brat Conan is actually delaying my reasoning here!

Uncle Maori glared at Conan.

The latter was preoccupied with his own thoughts. Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, he couldn't help but look up, only to find that everyone's attention was still on him.

Conan was stunned for a moment, then panicked and quickly laughed: "Ah, I think I said what I saw on TV again. Did I interrupt your conversation, uncle and aunt? Sorry, sorry, please continue chatting."

Uncle Maori snorted, "Xiaolan, can you please keep an eye on this brat? The adults are talking, tell him not to interrupt! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Uncle Maori's words made Conan shrink his neck and hide in Xiaolan's arms.

He knew that this old man was not just talking, he really wanted to make himself look good...

Conan felt a dull pain in his head.

He doesn't want to have more big bumps on his head.

"Conan-kun, you stay here quietly. Don't talk or move around." This time, Xiaolan didn't say anything for Conan, but just gave him a few instructions. "Look at your little brother Changsheng. He's so well-behaved. He stays quietly by the side and doesn't disturb others at all. You should learn from him. Do you hear me?"

"I heard... I heard..." Conan's face suddenly fell when Xiaolan asked him to learn from Wang Changsheng.

Learn from him?

What a waste of time to learn!

Chapter 319: Caress from Xiaolan

"Dr. Asai, please continue." Seeing Conan hiding beside Xiaolan, Uncle Maori glared at him fiercely, but did not waste time with him. Instead, he turned the topic back to Asai Narimi.

"Okay." Asai Narimi nodded, then continued in a soft voice, "Although that patient didn't stay with me for very long, as a doctor, I habitually chatted with him while I examined him, and I learned a little about the island from him."

"For example, Mr. Keiji Aso, whom you mentioned, has about three or four friends on the island. They're pretty close, and it seems they've been friends since they were kids."

"Really?" Uncle Maori looked at Asai Narimi with a burning gaze. "Doctor Asai, do you know who those people are?"

Asai Narimi let out a faint smile. "I remember this quite clearly, because these people are all well-known people on the island."

"Their names are Mr. Kuroiwa, Mr. Kameyama, Mr. Nishimoto, and Mr. Kawashima. The old man said that these four were childhood friends of Mr. Aso Keiji and they had a very good relationship. So if you have anything you want to know about Mr. Aso, you can go visit them. Of course, some of them have passed away."

"Dead?" Uncle Maori paused.

As a detective, although he usually relies on Conan's ratings, he is still quite sensitive to things like death and the dead.

"I wonder what you know about these four people, Dr. Asai? Could you introduce them to us? It would also be convenient for us to visit them later to ask about their situation."

In front of the beautiful women he has just met, Uncle Maori always behaves so gracefully and looks like a gentleman.

"Of course no problem, it's what I should do." Asai Narumi smiled, as if he admired Uncle Mori's gentlemanly behavior very much.

"After all, I've been on the island for a few years, so I know a little bit about these four people."

"Mr. Kuroiwa's full name is Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and he is the current village chief of the island."

"Mr. Kameyama was the former village chief, but he passed away three years ago."

"Mr. Nishimoto's name is Ken Nishimoto. I don't know him very well. I heard from the old man that he is a slacker who can't work. Haha, actually, he is just a homeless person without a job~"

"And Mr. Kawashima, his name is Kawashima Hideo. He is also very famous on the island and is a very wealthy tycoon."

"The old man mentioned Mr. Aso Keiji, and he seemed quite regretful when he mentioned him. I also learned from him that these four people have a deep connection with Mr. Aso Keiji."

When Asai Narumi mentioned this matter, there was always a natural smile on his face.

It was as if everything he knew really came from another person.

Wang Changsheng expressed doubts about whether such an old man really existed.

However, it is also possible that an old man did treat him and he was later sent off the island for treatment.

But they have no way to verify it now, so it’s up to him to say whatever he wants.

By the time they really have the time to investigate along this line, I'm afraid the entire Moon Shadow Island will be burned down.

"Ah, you came at the right time."

Suddenly, Asai Narumi smiled.

"Hmm?" Uncle Maori and Conan looked at him, "Is something going to happen?"

"Right," Asai Narimi nodded. "It suddenly occurred to me that today is the anniversary of Mr. Kameyama's death! The patient who was originally scheduled for today might have canceled their appointment to attend the anniversary event."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for my poor memory. Most of the people in our hospital are from outside the island, so they are not very enthusiastic about these activities and didn't take them seriously. I forgot about it for a while." Asai Narimi smiled and joked that the nurse outside didn't remind him. Maybe even the nurse forgot about it.

"So, Dr. Asai, what you mean is that today is the anniversary of the former village chief on the island?" Xiaolan asked from the side.

"Yes," Asai Narimi nodded affirmatively. "The anniversary of the death of the previous village chief is usually held at the community center on the island. I even attended that memorial service during my first year here. If you're interested, you can stop by and take a look. The other gentlemen should also be there."

Hearing that the plot had progressed, Wang Changsheng clearly felt that Conan's state had become much more excited.

"Why do I have the feeling that Asai Narimi is a plot NPC?" Wang Changsheng pursed his lips and looked at Asai Narimi again.

As if noticing Wang Changsheng's gaze, Asai Narumi turned his head and smiled sweetly at him, his eyes full of sincere love for this little boy Wang Changsheng.

"...You don't look like an NPC anymore." Wang Changsheng blinked and smiled back at Asai Narimi.

He could feel that Asai Narumi's love for him was simply the kind of love one has for a child, and it was not directed at him personally.

Even Conan was treated kindly by Asai Narumi.

I just don't know if it's just an act...

Of course, that shouldn’t be the case.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, although Conan is a bit talkative, he is actually a child who knows how to act like a spoiled child.

Who wouldn’t like a cute child who likes to act coquettishly towards them?

"Neh, neh~ I have a question. I'm really curious so I want to ask."

Conan was pulled in front of Xiaolan and sat on a chair with her, sitting between her legs, with his feet flapping and swinging.

He raised his head and shouted in a childish and very babyish voice.

"Your name is Conan, right? Little brother Conan, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask. I will answer you everything I know." Asai Narumi curled the corners of her lips.

Wang Changsheng sat quietly on the side, not knowing whether to complain about Conan's artificial performance first, or complain about Asai Narumi's natural and smooth self-proclaimed sister.

He seemed to...really treat himself as a girl.

"Master, what's wrong with the corner of your mouth?"

At this time, Linghuan Xinlong, who was following Wang Changsheng, saw that his sponsor's lips seemed to be twitching slightly.

It wasn't very obvious, but he was so close that he naturally noticed it.

So he immediately acted as if he cared about his financial sponsor.

"Nothing." Wang Changsheng didn't want to attract anyone's attention at all. He waved his hand, suppressing the irrepressible power of complaining in his heart. Then he glared at Ling Huan Xinlong without leaving a trace, "Don't talk too much."

Linghuan Xinlong was stunned by what Wang Changsheng said. He didn't expect that his concern would be ignored. For a moment, he shrank to the side feeling a little aggrieved.

Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes secretly and ignored him.

At this time, Conan also asked Asai Narimi his question: "That is, I wonder how the former village chief, Mr. Kameyama, died?"

He smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked at Asai Narumi calmly.

Of course, he did this just to hear more from Asai Narimi and get more information, not because he had any doubts about Asai Narimi.

There was no way. He was already a little excited when he heard Asai Narimi say that the former village chief had been dead for three years.

Although he had no idea about the situation on the island, the former village chief, the current village chief, who had died three years ago...

When these few entries are added together, they suddenly become less ordinary and even interesting.

Looking at Conan's expectant expression, Asai Narumi recalled what Detective Mori had just said, that this kid usually liked to watch some detective movies. He suddenly understood and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"Little brother Conan, you don't think that Mr. Kameyama was murdered, do you?"

Conan didn't answer, but just stared at him silently with a noncommittal look on his face.

Seeing this, Asai Narumi also understood.

"Haha~ You're such an interesting little brother!" Asai Narimi said with a cheerful smile, "Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. Mr. Kameyama died of a heart attack. It had nothing to do with anyone else~"

"Heart disease?" Conan seemed to be instinctively skeptical of everything. "Although it's serious, but... cough, but I saw on TV that this kind of disease can usually be saved, right? How could he die like this?"

"That's true, but Mr. Kameyama was alone when he had the heart attack. He wasn't discovered in time, so naturally, there was no way to save him."

When Asai Narumi said this, there was always a barely noticeable smile on the corner of his mouth.

His expression looked somewhat sad and regretful, but the others did not notice this.

"So that's how it is." Conan frowned.

"Alas, but I think there is something strange about Mr. Kameyama's death." Asai Narumi sighed pretentiously.

"Oh? Doctor sister, do you think there is something strange?" Conan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard him say that.

That’s right, Asai Narumi is the doctor on this island. He just arrived on the island three years ago. Maybe he was already on the island when the former village chief died?

In this way, as the doctor on the island, he should be considered one of the first people to see the deceased's remains.

It would be normal if he noticed something strange.

However, what made Conan speechless was that Asai Narumi did not say what he wanted to hear, but instead talked about some weird things.

And before he could speak, Uncle Maori gave Conan a lesson.

"Little brat, why are you talking so much? I haven't asked anything yet. Even if I'm not here, there are other adults here. How can you ask questions here? Go and stay still!"

As Uncle Maori was speaking, he leaned over and slapped Conan on the head.

And there was a muffled sound similar to hitting a winter melon.

"Odo-san!" Xiaolan brushed away Uncle Maori's hand and glared at him in dissatisfaction, "You can talk, but don't always use violence!"

"Hahaha~ I haven't seen such cute people like you in a long time." Asai Narumi watched Uncle Mori and Conan and the others playing around, and laughed out loud without caring at all.

He waved his hand gently: "It's okay. The child likes detective games. I guess he was influenced by you, a famous detective."
