Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 60: Moon Shadow Island, Ma Cheng
Two days later.

2 month 16 day.

Xia He appeared on the cruise ship with Maori father and daughter and Conan.

"Hey, kid, why are you on the boat with us?" Kogoro Mouri, holding a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at Xia He beside him.

"Can't I come here to travel at my own expense?" Xia He opened his arms and felt the sea breeze blowing towards him. "It seems like it would be a good thing to relax on a small island in the middle of the Izu Islands occasionally."

"Heh, I think you're trying to steal my limelight, right?"

Kogoro Mori showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

After all, he had earned the title of "elementary school detective" when he was young, and coupled with the subsequent hijacking incident... it can be said that now in the whole Tokyo, Xia He's fame is much higher than that of "Sleeping Kogoro".

"Don't worry, Uncle Maori. I will cover all your expenses on the island."

"Is it true?" Upon hearing this, Maori Kogoro changed his "hostile" attitude, laughed and put his arm around Xia He's shoulders and said, "You are worthy of being the son of a rich family. You are generous when you spend money. Hahahaha~~~"

Xiaolan: (;_)
Conan: (;￢д￢)
Sometimes I really want to pretend that I don’t know this uncle.

……

Yueying Island Village Office.

"What? Can you please look for him more carefully? I received a letter of commission from him. How could this person not exist?"

"But there is indeed no such name in the resident register."

The staff of the village office looked somewhat helpless. "Besides, I was just transferred to this island last month, so I am not very familiar with the things here..."

"I see." Kogoro Mouri scratched his head.

At this moment, another older man came over, looked at Xia and the other four and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"This gentleman said that he was commissioned by a man named Keiji Aso..." The staff pointed at Kogoro Mori.

Who knew that the words had not yet been finished.

"Keji Aso?!"

The middle-aged man who heard the name immediately revealed an extremely horrified expression, "Aso Keiji, he died more than ten years ago!"

"what?"

"How is this possible?"

Kogoro Mouri glanced at the letter in his hand and thought, could it be that this thing was sent to me by a ghost?
"It happened on a full moon night twelve years ago..." Then the man told the rumored story to Kogoro Mori and others.

……

"It looks like a despicable prank." After coming out of the village office, Kogoro Mori muttered to himself, still feeling a little creepy as he recalled the story that had just happened.

However, Conan said, "But, hasn't the commission fee been remitted? Could it be that a good friend of Keiji Aso wants you to help investigate the fire?"

"What you said does make sense." Kogoro Mouri nodded.

"Why don't we go ask the village chief? I heard that he seems to be a friend of Mr. Aso." Xiaolan also suggested at this time.

So the four of them changed their destination to the community center where the village chief was currently.

The Maori father and daughter walked in front, and Conan took this opportunity to secretly pull Xiahe's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Hey, Xiahe, what did you want to do by asking them for Aso Keiji's photo just now? Do you think that person is not dead yet?"

"Well, I just want to see what this famous pianist looks like." Xia He said casually.

Of course, he had his own use for taking Keiji Aso's photo, but it was not convenient to say what it was for.

Xia He put his hands behind his head and looked at the scenery of the island as he walked.

The weather here is much colder than in Tokyo. There are many mountains around, lush and green with thousands of trees.

The air is fresh enough and the atmosphere is quiet enough.

It's a good place for vacation.

As expected, they didn't walk far before they met the protagonist of this case, Ma Cheng Min, in front of a clinic.

I have to say, this is indeed a very bright and attractive man.

She has a delicate nose, big eyes, an oval face, fair skin, and her every move reveals a gentle and charming temperament.

At least from his appearance, Xia He really couldn't tell his gender. "Excuse me, do you know where the community center is?" Xiaolan walked up to ask for directions.

"Community Center? Turn right at the next intersection and just walk to the end." Masanobu Misaki replied.

Very good, the false sound is also very strong.

It's almost on par with myself who has an [unscientific voice].

Xia He thought to himself.

In fact, if he were to dress up as a woman, he could probably achieve a similar effect, but that would be based on the use of makeup and disguise.

And Ma Chengshi grew up like this...

I have to say, it’s really a pity.

"My name is Asai Narimi, but I have a medical qualification certificate." Asai Narimi introduced himself to Xiaolan using his pseudonym.

Seeing this, Xia He took the initiative to move forward and extended his right hand to Masashi Asai, "Hello, Ms. Asai, my name is Sakuno Xia He, and I am the owner of a famous milk tea chain store."

"Milk tea chain?" It was the first time that Ma Chengshi heard this term. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xia He.

"Ms. Asai, your hands seem a little rough, which seems a bit inconsistent with your appearance." Xia He said with a smile.

"Is... is that so? Maybe it's because I often operated instruments when I was studying at medical university." Masanobu Shi pulled his hand back somewhat embarrassedly.

Behind him, Conan suddenly interrupted, "Nene, Xiahe brother, if you touch a girl's hand like this, if Sister Sonoko knew, wouldn't she be angry?"

Xia He: "?"

duang!

He punched Conan on the head with his backhand.

"Shut up, kid."

Conan: "."

"Then we'll take our leave first." Kogoro Mori greeted Asanari Masashi.

At the same time, Xia He suddenly said, "I'm going to go for a stroll first. I'll come back to see you after you finish dealing with things over there."

After saying this, he turned around and walked away.

"That guy..."

Conan looked at Xia He's back, thoughtfully.

……

into the night.

Civic Center.

The third anniversary memorial service for the death of Yukyo Island’s former village chief, Kameyama Yong, is still ongoing.

And Masashi actually dragged the unconscious Kawashima Hideo to the seaside.

This was the first target he wanted to kill tonight.

He was also one of the four culprits who killed his family twelve years ago.

"Father, mother, sister... I will finally avenge you."

he murmured.

But before he could push Kawashima Hideo into the water, a figure appeared in front of him first.

"you?!"

Ma Shengshi widened his eyes in disbelief.

next second.

Tears suddenly began to sparkle in his eyes.
