Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 23 Invitation from Moon Shadow Island

Hanomiya Detective Agency.

After Yu Gongming handed a stack of photos to the client for review, he successfully received the commission fee of 100,000 yuan with the client's satisfied look.

Since the last time he solved the gangster group in the department store, Yu Gongming has gradually gained some fame, and the tasks he has entrusted have changed from finding cats and dogs to searching for people or catching mistresses. In order to improve his business in this area, Yu Gongming Ability, and even went to ask Mouri Kogoro for advice.

Even though Mouri Kogoro was confused when he encountered a murder case, after all, he had been a detective for several years and was quite experienced in tracking and tracing people. Akira Hanamiya gained a lot from asking him for advice.

Akira Hanomiya is much busier than before, which has resulted in Conan not being involved in several recent cases.

However, Mengyu basically followed Conan, and those few cases were successfully solved. According to Mengyu's narration of the cases, they were not important cases, so Yu Gongming didn't care.

After sending away the last client of the day, Yu Gongming went to the mailbox at the door and sorted out today's letters.

Bill, bill, bill...oh? Finally something else!

Yu Gongming opened the letter.

[On the night of the next full moon, shadows will disappear again on Yueying Island. Please investigate the reason - Keiji Aso]

Huh? Moon Shadow Island...the famous case of a transvestite named Keli...

While Yu Gongming was thinking, he suddenly felt someone tapping him on the shoulder.

What are you looking at so fascinated?

Yu Gongming looked back and saw Meng Yu looking at him with a smile.

Mengyu would occasionally come to Yu Gongming's house as a guest during this period. If Yu Gongming was not busy, she would basically stay for dinner. She even said in a serious manner: After dining at my house so many times, it's time to come back!

A girl comes to a boy's house of the same age for dinner every once in a while, which makes Yu Gongming wonder whether she also feels that way about him?

However, judging from his usual performance, Yu Gongming felt that it didn't look like it. For a while, he was a little unsure of Meng Yu's thoughts, so he simply let it take its course.

I'm reading this. Yu Gongming turned slightly sideways so that Meng Yu could also see the letter.

Huh? You received it too. I originally wanted to tell you that Uncle Maoli received the commission letter from Yueying Island and asked if you were interested in going together. Meng Yu said in surprise.

Yes, not only did I receive the letter, but there was also a check for half a million yuan inside the letter! Akira Hanamiya took out the check from the letter and waved it.

That's right. Five hundred thousand yuan has never been seen in the commissions you have received during this period. To celebrate your first big commission, let's go out to eat today. A Chinese-style restaurant has just opened nearby. , I want to have a taste! Meng Yu said with a smile.

Sure enough, this natural change of tone and the obvious temporary reason... tell me that the Yueying Island commission is fake, and that the main purpose is to ask me to treat you to a meal at the Huaxia Restaurant, right? Yu Gongming cursed in his heart.

Of course, at this time, not to mention that Yu Gongming is really not short of money now, even if his savings are tight, Yu Gongming also has to treat this meal, after all... I understand everything.

Okay, I'm not short of money now, you can order whatever you want when you get there! Yu Gongming immediately waved his hand and said in an angry tone.

That's what you said! Meng Yu's mouth suddenly showed a touching arc, but when Yu Gongming saw this smile, he suddenly had an ominous premonition...

…………

On the streets of Mihua Town, Yu Gongming and Meng Yu walked side by side.

The food in that restaurant is delicious, and the flavor is very authentic, but... it's too expensive! Yu Gongming looked at the dazzling numbers on the bill with a confused look on his face.

Meng Yu on the side shrugged and said with a smile: No way, you don't know the land price of that place, and their dishes are excellent in terms of ingredients, knife skills, heat, presentation, etc., and I also noticed They are also a Michelin-certified two-star restaurant, and the prices are certainly not that friendly.”

And you feel sick now when you see the bill? Didn't you enjoy eating it at that time? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have wanted to order two more dishes.

Didn't you look like you were still unfinished at that time? You said you were stopping me, but basically you just had the attitude of 'I'll eat with you even if you order it'! Yu Gongming complained.

Tch, even if I tried to stop you in a perfunctory way, it means that I was still more rational than you at the time. Your state at that time was as if you had lost your mind! Meng Yu argued.

...Well, I lost my mind at the time. Thank you Miss Mengyu for reminding me, otherwise I would have spent money...

Yu Gongming felt that it was better not to continue the argument, so he relented decisively.

Well, I'm a teachable kid. For the sake of your meal, I will reluctantly go to Moon Shadow Island with you! Meng Yu said with a smile.

It sounds like you didn't plan to go before... Yu Gongming cursed in his heart.

…………

On the small passenger ship heading to Yueying Island.

Oh, if it weren't for that letter and the handling fee that I paid, I wouldn't have gone to any small island! Mouri Kogoro complained.

Dad, don't say that. It's nice to go to Izu's island and relax occasionally, right Conan?

Yeah! Conan nodded slightly.

But I didn't expect that Senior Yumiya also received the commission letter, and Mengyu also came together. Xiaolan looked at Yumiya Ming and Mengyu who were looking at the distant sea view.

I'm just curious about the content of this letter of entrustment, and I plan to come and take a look. Meng Yu said with a smile.

I get angry when I talk about this. Do all clients nowadays like to play riddles? What about [shadows will disappear again on full-moon nights]? This is all nonsense! It's inexplicable. Mouri Kogoro complained.

I'm afraid we can only know the true meaning of this commission letter when we go to Yueying Island. Yu Gongming said with a smile.

While several people were talking, the passenger ship had already docked at the pier.

Several people got off the boat and set foot on Moon Shadow Island.

The air is really fresh and the environment is very good! Xiaolan took a deep breath and looked at the scattered houses in the distance and the flowers and green plants dotted everywhere, and her mood instantly improved a lot.

Okay, let's go find the client first. Then you can look around while I and Mr. Hanomiya handle the client. Mouri Kogoro said.

Several people found the household registration office on the island along the way.

Aso Keiji... We don't have this person here... the staff member looked at the resident list and said doubtfully.

There is no such person? How is it possible? I still have the letter he sent me here! Mouri Kogoro looked unbelieving.

This... it's really not on the roster. I just came to this island, and I don't know many things very well... The staff member was confused.

What's going on? A middle-aged man came to the staff and asked.

Ah, director, they said they came to the island after accepting the entrustment of the islander. The islander's name is Aso Keiji...

Keiji Aso!! The director exclaimed, his face changed drastically, and other nearby islanders also had different expressions when they heard this name, and began to whisper.

No...this can't happen!! Because...because that Keiji Aso died more than ten years ago!! the director said with a look of horror.
