I'm in Detective Conan, and I start with the Grand Theft Auto system.

On the beach of Moonshadow Island, the sun shines brightly and the sea breeze is gentle.

Lin Shen lay comfortably on a folding beach chair, wearing sunglasses on his nose, and holding a glass of lemonade with ice in his hand.

He took sips of his drink with the straw in his mouth, but his eyes remained fixed on the beach in front of him.

There were two figures in swimsuits playing beach volleyball.

Mingmei was wearing a white bikini, and her figure was impeccably proportioned. As she ran and caught the ball on the beach, her ponytail swayed back and forth, exuding a unique charm of a mature woman.

On the other hand, Xiaolan was wearing a light blue bikini.

Every time she jumped up to spike the ball, Lin Shen's eyes followed the up-and-down arc of her shot.

He stared intently from behind his sunglasses, and couldn't help but think to himself: Xiaolan is truly wealthy, and truly generous.

This trip to Moonshadow Island was well worth it.

The two fought for about ten minutes before Akemi couldn't take it anymore.

She braced herself on her knees, panting heavily, beads of sweat sliding down her face and dripping onto the scorching sand with a soft hissing sound.

She waved to Xiaolan and said with a smile, "No, no... Xiaolan, you're too good at fighting! I'm no match for you at all."

Xiaolan, carrying a volleyball, walked over without blushing or panting, and smiled sheepishly: "It's alright... it's just the stamina I get from practicing karate."

Mingmei walked to the beach chair next to Lin Shen, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from her face, and then sat down with a thud.

She took a few sips of water, caught her breath, and then suddenly turned to Lin Shen, saying in a very natural tone, "President Lin, can you do me a favor?"

Lin Shen pushed his sunglasses up a bit and looked at her: "What are you busy with?"

Akemi rolled over, lying face down on the beach chair, tilting her head to the side and revealing a sweet smile: "Help me apply some sunscreen!"

"I just broke out in a sweat, so the cream I applied earlier has probably all washed off."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen instantly perked up.

He placed the lemonade on the small table, sat up straight, and said with an air of righteous indignation, "Of course, no problem. Helping others is my way of doing things."

He took the sunscreen bottle from Mingmei, squeezed some into his palm, and rubbed it together.

Then, Akemi very naturally reached behind her back and, with a snap, untied the straps of her bikini top.

After the thin strap came undone, the white fabric draped loosely over her back, revealing large patches of skin that were slightly glossy from the sun.

Lin Shen placed his hand on it without changing his expression.

Meanwhile, Akemi acted as if nothing had happened, casually chatting with Ran beside her, her tone very relaxed and natural: "Ran, you're so good at volleyball!"

"You spiked the ball at me several times in a row, and I couldn't catch it at all. I had no chance to fight back."

Xiaolan stood to the side, still holding the volleyball in her hands, but from her angle, she could clearly see Lin Shen's hand applying sunscreen to Mingmei's back, his palm pushing from her shoulder all the way down to her lower back, the movements were neither too fast nor too slow, and the force was even.

Xiaolan's face flushed instantly. She quickly looked away, casting her gaze towards the distant horizon, pretending to admire the scenery. She waved her hand nervously and said, "It's...it's alright! I'm not really good at having fun."

After chatting with Xiaolan about volleyball for a bit, Mingmei changed the subject: "By the way, Xiaolan, do you want to go scuba diving later? The shop owner said the sea conditions are great today, the visibility is exceptionally high, and we should be able to see a lot of fish."

Upon hearing the word "diving," Xiaolan's eyes lit up instantly. Her earlier shyness was quickly replaced by excitement, and she nodded repeatedly, "Great! I've always wanted to try diving, but I've never had the chance!"

Seeing Xiaolan's excited expression, Mingmei smiled, then, as if suddenly remembering something, casually added, "That's perfect. After President Lin finishes applying the sunscreen for me, let him apply it for you too. Otherwise, you'll easily get sunburned if you stay in the sea for too long."

Xiaolan's smile froze instantly.

She paused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously, waving her hands haphazardly in front of her: "This...this isn't necessary! I can do it myself!"

Mingmei lay on the beach chair, tilting her head to look at the other person, a mischievous smile on her lips, her tone carrying the composure of someone who had been there before: "Xiaolan, what are you shy about? You'll have to learn this kind of thing sooner or later."

"You have to give the person you like a chance, send them a signal."

"Next time you go to the beach with Shinichi Kudo—"

She didn't continue, leaving it at that.

Xiaolan's face turned bright red instantly.

She was bored at work, so she chatted with Mingmei.

As we chatted and got into a good mood, we inadvertently revealed many of our innermost thoughts.

Including her feelings for a certain detective.

Moreover, Mingmei often teaches her some little secrets between girls.

Just like now—although she was incredibly shy, she understood that Mingmei was teaching her how to get along with someone she liked.

After a long while, Xiaolan, blushing, said in a voice barely audible, to Lin Shen, "Then... President... could you please help me apply some sunscreen?"

Lin Shen had finished applying the ointment to Mingmei's back and was now unscrewing the bottle cap.

Upon hearing Xiaolan's words, he looked up and gave a very natural smile: "Of course, no problem."

Akemi chimed in at the opportune moment, "That's right! Don't be too shy or too reserved, just relax."

Xiaolan blushed and nodded, then lay down on the beach chair next to her.

She reached behind her back, hesitated for a moment, her fingers lingering on the swimsuit straps for two seconds, but ultimately didn't untie them. Instead, she buried her face in the towel on the beach chair and closed her eyes tightly.

She soon felt a pair of warm, large hands, moistened with slightly cool sunscreen, gently land on her shoulders.

The hands moved steadily, with just the right amount of force, starting from the shoulders and slowly pushing down to the shoulder blades.

Her heart started racing, so fast that she felt President Lin could definitely sense it.

Seeing that Ran was stiff as a board, Akemi couldn't help but laugh. Then she started chatting with Ran to distract her: "By the way, Ran, you said you participated in a karate competition a while ago, right? How did it go? What place did you get?"

Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief and began to answer Mingmei's questions. As she spoke, her body gradually relaxed.

Lin Shen continued applying sunscreen to his hands, but in his mind he was already thinking—Mingmei's actions were simply textbook-level PUA.

She approached Xiaolan as a caring older sister, offering guidance as someone who had been through it all.

Xiao Lan believed everything he said, and she obediently did whatever he asked her to do.

After all, they came from an organization; their mindset and methods are far beyond what Xiaolan, a flower raised in a greenhouse, can compare to.

Xiaolan was easily manipulated.

Lin Shen silently decided in his heart that he must give Mingmei a raise when he got back, he absolutely had to!

While the sun was shining brightly on the beach and laughter filled the air, on the other side of Moonshadow Island, Conan and Kogoro Mouri had already begun their investigation.

They first went to the village office to check household registration records, then went to the dock to ask old fishermen for information, and even went to the only small bookstore on the island to look through old newspapers...

It can be said that I've traveled all over most of Moon Shadow Island.

Until Asai Clinic...

That was the clinic on Moon Shadow Island, with a sign hanging at the entrance that read "Asai Clinic".

Conan pushed open the door and went inside, with Kogoro Mouri following behind.

The clinic was small, but very clean.

A young female doctor in a white coat was sitting behind her desk, writing something with her head down.

Hearing someone enter, she looked up, revealing a pretty face, and smiled slightly: "Welcome. Are you feeling unwell?"

Kogoro Mouri pulled out his identification and stated his identity and purpose—they were there to investigate Keiji Aso.

When Asai Shigemi heard the name "Aso Keiji," a very subtle change flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

She didn't say much, just nodded and told them some information she knew about Keiji Aso—he was a pianist who died mysteriously on Tsukikage Island ten years ago, and his body wasn't even preserved intact in the fire.

She spoke in a calm tone, as if recounting an old story unrelated to herself, with clear logic and answering every question.

But Conan stood in the corner of the examination room, silently observing her every move.

After Asai Narumi finished explaining everything he needed to say, he stood up with a smile, indicating that he still had patients to attend to, and politely saw the guest off.

She stood at the clinic entrance, watching Kogoro Mouri and Conan walk further and further away along the path they had come from. The smile on her face slowly faded, replaced by a very complex expression.

She felt conflicted.

On the one hand, she hoped they would discover something that would stop her from doing what she was about to do.

On the other hand, she hoped they wouldn't find anything, so she could complete the plan she had been working on for years.

Asai Narumi stood at the door, sighed softly, turned around and walked back to the clinic, closing the door behind her.
