Gin doesn't want to work hard

After making the call, Conan immediately ran to Professor Agasa's house, intending to explain things to Kurosawa in person.

I just didn't expect that Kurosawa hadn't gone home yet.

However, according to Dr. Agasa, Kurosawa should be back soon, so Conan waits.

I have been waiting until now.

After explaining the whole story, Conan asked the same question again.

"So why did you come back so late?"

Kurosawa was silent for a moment.

Trying to find a reason.

But Conan is clearly not someone to be easily fooled.

Putting aside everything else, he is always exceptionally perceptive when it comes to issues related to crime.

For example, right now, Conan quickly realizes that Kurosawa might have encountered some trouble.

So he asked directly.

"Kurosawa-kun, what happened to you on your way back?"

Kurosawa, feeling helpless, picked out what had just happened and began to recount it.

Of course, after the process was edited, he was just an innocent passerby who happened to be passing by and did not directly participate in it.

After listening, Conan pondered for a while, then took out his phone.

"Hello, Inspector Megure? I'd like to ask you something..."

Kurosawa stared in silence at Conan, who was holding a ribbon and transforming into Shinichi Kudo.

Conan is really something!

After hearing his story, I decided to verify it.

She did it directly in front of him, without hiding anything at all!

Does this mean I trust him or not?

Kurosawa was somewhat speechless, so he simply decided to ignore it.

He hadn't had dinner yet, so he took this opportunity to go to the kitchen and heat up the lunchbox he had bought.

……

When Kurosawa came out of the kitchen carrying a bento box.

Conan and Inspector Megure's conversation has come to an end.

With his extraordinary hearing, Kurosawa heard what Inspector Megure said.

"The drug dealer that Brother Kurosawa helped catch this time was a big fish."

"We are preparing to close the net soon, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to resolve the matter in the next couple of days."

"However, just in case, he should stay home for the next few days."

"Or go somewhere farther away and stay for a couple of days."

"I'll come back when things have settled down."

"I don't have Brother Kurosawa's contact information either, so I'll ask you to pass on the message to him."

Conan responded and hung up the phone.

"Kurosawa-nii..."

Conan stared at Kurosawa with dead fish eyes.

Kurosawa paused for a moment, then stuffed a chicken nugget into his mouth.

"I won't be going out for the next couple of days."

"Kurosawa-kun, why don't you come with us to do some commissions?"

Kurosawa and Conan spoke at the same time.

Between staying home and traveling far away, Kurosawa said he would choose the former.

But Conan obviously doesn't think so.

In his view, it would be safer to stay away from here.

The two held opposing views.

In the end, Kurosawa couldn't stand Conan's nagging and gave in.

……

Time returns to the present.

Looking at the boundless sea, Kurosawa finally remembered to ask about the destination.

"where are we going?"

"Hmm?" Conan turned to look at him upon hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, said, "It's a place called Tsukikage Island, which belongs to the Izu Islands."

Chapter 74 Keiji Aso

"Woo~~"

With a long blast of its horn, the cruise ship docked at the shore.

Since he didn't know the client's specific information, Kogoro Mouri decided to go to the island's public office to inquire about the matter.

When faced with such a vague request, it is definitely necessary to find the person who made the request to confirm it again.

But when Kogoro Mouri announced the client's name at the front desk: "Keiji Aso".

The hall suddenly erupted in an uproar.

"What, what's wrong?"

Kogoro Mouri was puzzled by the strange looks he received from the crowd.

Did he just say something wrong?

Perhaps the confusion in his eyes was too obvious, because finally someone came out to explain.

"Hello, I am Yukimasa Natori, the village head of this island."

"Regarding Keiji Aso, I think I can explain it to you."

"plz follow me."

The group then followed him to the council chamber on the side.

……

"So, this guy named Keiji Aso died more than a decade ago!"

After learning what had happened, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"That's true."

Natori Yukimasa nodded in agreement.

"Damn it, so this request was just a prank?"

Kogoro Mouri said somewhat angrily.

He immediately wanted to tear up Shoushan's letter of authorization.

"father!"

"Uncle Mori, wait a minute!"

Ran Mouri and Conan stopped them at the same time.

"It might not just be a prank!"

Conan quickly began to explain.

Kurosawa stood by, seemingly invisible.

The client who has long since passed away.

A vague letter of authorization.

And a remote little island.

This is a perfectly standard way of starting an event.

Moreover, the name "Moon Shadow Island" is...

It feels somewhat familiar.

But Kurosawa was certain that he had never heard of this place in his life.

Since it's not a memory from this life, this familiar feeling must come from a previous life.

It still feels familiar to him now...

It seems to be a classic case.

Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what happened.

Kurosawa was somewhat disappointed.

But that’s okay.

After all, Conan is right here.

If you follow his lead, cases will always come knocking on your door.

Since we're already out here, let's just treat it as watching a live mystery show.

It's real, exciting, and free.

Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite a good deal.

While Kurosawa was pondering, Conan had already persuaded Kogoro Mouri to continue the investigation.
