Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 66: Dr. Aso, what do you think?
Behind Tachibana Shizuka, Xiaolan and the others stared at Tachibana Shizuka's smooth movements in amazement.

From the moment he entered the room to the moment he subdued Asai Makoto, it took less than a minute. Even including the bondage play, it didn't take more than ten minutes.

Even in Beika Town, such efficiency would be the best in the industry.

Hattori Heiji's eyes were twitching at this moment. He once suspected that his elder brother Shizuka Tachibana had some part-time job behind his back.

Otherwise, where does this proficiency come from?

"Shizuoka, isn't this a bit too rough for Dr. Asai?" Xiaolan hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist the condemnation of her conscience. She cautiously came to Shizuoka Tachibana and gave weak advice.

Xiaolan knew very well that Tachibana Seiji was doing this for everyone's good, but she couldn't bear to see him tying Dr. Asai up in such an uncomfortable position so roughly.

So Xiaolan was just making a weak suggestion, but she didn't force Tachibana Shizuka to do anything.

"Let's go, stop gathering at the door." Tachibana Shizuka shook his head slightly at Xiaolan, but did not respond to her.

Shizuka Tachibana held the knot and dragged Asai Makoto into the treatment room of the clinic.

"Two things. First, Sonoko, use the clinic's phone to call your family and ask them to contact the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and tell them what's going on here.

For example, there has been a drug trafficking gang on Yueying Island for at least 12 years, and the late pianist Keiji Aso was also a member of the gang.

Tell them we might have been targeted by drug traffickers and ask them to send someone over as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" When passing by the doctor's office just now, Sonoko noticed the phone on the desk. After hearing Tachibana Shizuka's instructions, she ran quickly to contact her family.

"The second thing is, this Dr. Asai is a man."

"What the hell?!"

“That’s impossible!”

"what?"

Xiaolan, Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Heiji directly performed a "three-faced confused" show to Tachibana Shizuka. No matter how they looked, they couldn't tell that this weak female doctor was actually a man!

"Believe me, it's true." There were some situations that Tachibana Shizu was embarrassed to tell the two girls, but the tacit understanding between men was innate, for example.
Tachibana Shizuka now had a deep eye contact with Hattori Heiji, and then Hattori Heiji's expression slowly began to change.

"Is it really that outrageous?" Hattori Heiji said this while glancing at Asai Makoto's skirt subtly.

It was obvious that he had understood the look in Tachibana Shizuka's eyes.

"That's right, it's that outrageous." Tachibana Shizuka nodded, confirming Hattori Heiji's judgment.

"Hiss" Hattori Heiji continues to make outstanding contributions to global warming.

When tying someone up, some physical contact is inevitable, and those who truly want to restrict the target's ability to move would not just tie up the upper body.

When the skirt becomes completely tight, some contours really cannot be hidden.

Hattori Heiji did not care too much about whether Asai Makoto was a man or a woman. He was more concerned about why Asai Makoto was dressed as a woman in Tsukikage Island.

Since ancient times, whether men disguised themselves as women or women disguised themselves as men, the purpose was mostly to hide their identities.

Is there any treasure in Moon Shadow Island that is worth someone changing their gender to hide there?

Obviously not, because anyone on this island wouldn't be so poor. So why did Asai Makoto disguise himself as a female doctor and stay in the clinic on the island?
"Aso Keiji, who is Aso Keiji to you?" Tachibana Shizuka suddenly asked Asai honestly.

Then he felt the soft flesh on his waist being poked by fingers.

"What's wrong, Ran?" Tachibana Seiji turned around and found that it was Ran who was poking him gently with her fingertips.

"That Shizuka, I mean Dr. Asai's mouth is still blocked."

"Ah this."

Toyama Kazuha was very tactful and helped to pull the handkerchief off Asai Makoto's mouth, in return for Asai Makoto's grateful smile.

"Ahem, who are you guys?" Asai Makoto asked Tachibana Shizuka while taking deep breaths of the fresh air mixed with the scent of the ocean.

"This question always feels vulgar, so I refuse to answer it. And Dr. Asai, we are the ones asking you now."

Tachibana Shizuka had no interest in playing a quiz game with Asai Makoto. Every minute was precious right now, and he needed Asai Makoto to join them in forming a united front - after all, their goals were similar.

Asai Makoto lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Twelve years ago, Aso Keiji 'killed' his wife and daughter at home, but the villagers on this island seem to have forgotten that he had a son.

On that full-moon night, his son happened to be ill and hospitalized in Tokyo.

I am the 'lucky' son and the only survivor of the Aso family: Makoto Aso."

Aso's honest disclosure explains a lot of things, such as there is indeed another hidden story behind Keiji Aso's death; for example, the water on this island is indeed very deep.

For example, the problematic piano in the piano room of the village office was really something that Aso Makoto deliberately guided them to investigate.

While everyone else was immersed in surprise and shock, Tachibana Shizuka suddenly asked, "Did you know that the piano in the village office's piano room is still in use?"

"How is that possible?!" Makoto Aso's eyes widened in shock. "There's no other pianist on Moon Shadow Island right now, so how could that piano still be in use?"

Staring at Aso Makoto's demeanor and expression, which did not seem fake, Tachibana Shizuka understood that the reason why Aso Makoto led them to investigate the piano in the piano room was probably because of Hattori Heiji's identity as a detective.

He probably didn't expect that the tool used to hide and transport drugs 12 years ago would now have a new use.

"That's right. Although there's no other pianist on the island carrying a piano around, the piano's secret compartment is hidden enough that it can be used as a reliable 'mailbox'.

Dr. Aso, I regret to inform you that because of your error in judgment and our reckless investigation, we are now being targeted.

This is also the main reason why I behaved so rudely when we first met."

"But, good fortune and bad fortune go hand in hand. I also have good news for you. If you can provide me with a list of criminals on the island.

I think the nightmares that have troubled you for years will be swept away tonight."

"By the way, don't ask me who I am. I'm not a detective, and I'm not Kamen Rider.

I'm just an ordinary high school student who wants to live a good life."

"So, Dr. Aso, what do you think?"
