"yes……"

"..."

(Fuck... the atmosphere is so awkward...)

Xier looked at Asai Makoto in silence, and the latter also stared at her with the same eyes.

"Oh right... the night is long, we can't just sit there doing nothing... why don't we play some cards..."

Xier suddenly suggested. Indeed, if you do nothing, you will easily feel sleepy.

"Play cards? But we didn't bring any of us..."

Xiaolan turned her head and looked at Kogoro Mouri and Conan, and both of them spread their hands to indicate that they didn't bring any such things with them.

"Don't look at me... I didn't bring it either..."

Dr. Honest also waved his hand. He didn't expect Xier to suddenly make such a proposal.

"It's okay..." Xi'er suddenly showed a meaningful smile. She took out a stack of cards with strange patterns from her arms and placed them in front of everyone, saying, "I brought them."

"what is this?"

Xiaolan picked up a card curiously. This card was different from the cards she usually saw. It was not printed with the usual clubs and diamonds, but a very action-oriented character.

"hey-hey"

Xier smiled and said: "Please allow me to solemnly introduce this magical card to you all."

"Gwent!"

Chapter 41

Inspector Megure felt very angry.

When he heard about the murder case on Yueying Island, which was under the jurisdiction of Tokyo, he was very anxious. So after receiving the news that night, he got up early in the morning to deal with the incident.

When he arrived on the island, the guards on the island told him that Kogoro Mori was helping to guard the murder scene and keeping watch to prevent the criminals from returning to the scene again. He actually felt a little happy in his heart, because the original Kogoro was finally back.

However, when he walked to the murder scene, he wanted to slap himself hard for holding a glimmer of hope for Mouri Kogoro a few minutes ago.

In the rather wide hall, there were several cards of strange styles scattered around. Xiaolan, Conan and two unknown girls were watching over the place. They looked very tired, probably because of staying up late. Maori Kogoro, who he had high hopes for, was sleeping soundly in his sleeping bag.

Officer Megure couldn't help but give this guy a blank look. This guy couldn't even beat a child. Isn't he better than the crowdfunding group 四五六一二7⑨④零……

"Hey! Brother Maori! Wake up! It's already noon!"

Looking at Kogoro Mouri who was sleeping on his back, Inspector Megure squatted down and shook him hard.

"Amu... eh? Who?"

Maori Kogoro, who was sleeping soundly, sat up drowsily with sleepy eyes. He felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar. So he rubbed his eyes hard, and then he saw clearly that the person in front of him was his good friend - Inspector Megure.

"Eh? Inspector Megure? What are you doing here?"

Kogoro Maori asked in a daze, as he had not yet fully woken up from his dazed state.

"This place belongs to Tokyo and is under my jurisdiction."

"……yes."

Maori seemed to suddenly remember something and fumbled around on his body for a while.

"As for the music score, Conan has already given it to me."

Inspector Megure looked at Maori Kogoro with a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes. This guy is really a god of lameness...

“Ah…hahahahahaha…”

Feeling that he was not of much help, Kogoro Mouri laughed awkwardly.

"Okay, I'm going to ask some questions at the village office later, so come and help."

"no problem!"

————————————————————————————

Ten minutes later, outside the interrogation room of the village office, Seele, Dr. Honest, Ran, and Conan were sitting on chairs waiting for interrogation. Because they had all participated in the night watch last night, Officer Megure deliberately moved them to the end.

"Squeak."

Maori Kogoro came out of the interrogation room. Seeing this, Xiaolan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, Dad? Do you know who the murderer is?"

"No... The murderer is still locked on the people who participated in the ritual, but no matter what, we can't get any more clues."

"Is this so..."

"By the way, what's my number?"

Dr. Honest asked with a tired expression.

"You are the last number..." replied Kogoro Mouri.

Hearing this, Dr. Honest breathed a sigh of relief, and his right hand clenched unconsciously. However, Xier saw all these small movements.

(So ​​he is the murderer. Does this mean he is planning to commit another crime during this period of time?)

"Then I'll go to the bathroom..."

Seeing that it would take half a day for his turn, Dr. Honest got up and went to the bathroom, and Xier followed him.

After they walked for a while, the honest doctor in front suddenly said, "Miss Xier, what do you want to do by following me?"

"It's amazing that you still remember my name." Xier didn't expect that he actually remembered the name of her, someone he had only met once.

"That's right, I won't forget such a beautiful lady."

"Even if you compliment me like this, I won't let you commit a crime again."

Xier looked at the honest man who had regained his male voice and said, "I wanted to stop you before you made a move, but I didn't expect to be involved in other things, so I missed the opportunity."

"Huh? Did you know it was me who did this?"

Honest was stunned, but did not deny the fact that he had killed someone.

"Yes, I also know that you are not only a man, but your name should be Asanari Minoru."

Xi'er said as she slowly walked to the stairs, blocking his way.

"..."

"How did you know that..."

After a moment's silence, Masashi asked.

"Didn't you talk about music scores yesterday? I was curious so I took it and took a look."

Xier naturally would not say that she knew it through Keiji Aso, but Keiji Aso did tell her what was written on the music score.

"What do you think the first line of that music sheet means?"

"..." Asami Masashi did not answer. He had never seen the music score, so naturally he didn't know what was on it.

"To my dear Chengshi..."

Xi'er said slowly: "This is the letter your father, Keiji Aso, left for you. It accurately records everything that happened."

“Is that so… I see…”

Masanobu revealed a trace of loneliness on his face and said, "But... I already know what happened back then."

"After I graduated from medical school, I returned to this island. Because of a printing error on the certificate, the pronunciation of my name changed, so I returned to the island as a female doctor. When I found Guishan to ask him, he suddenly died of a heart attack after telling me most of the things. Then I played Moonlight beside him, and that was when I wanted to kill him."

Ma Shengshi leaned against the wall and slowly expressed his true feelings to Xier.

"Yeah……"

"So, please let me complete my final revenge. I promise not to hurt anyone else."

There was a hint of pleading in Masashi's eyes. He was very kind-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't want to become a doctor. So even if Xi'er stood in front of him, he had no other intentions, just hoping that Xi'er could help him complete his final revenge.

"What happens after revenge?" Xier asked suddenly.

"Eh?"

Ma Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he said with a hint of self-mockery on his face: "I should go back and turn myself in..."

"lie!"

Xier looked him straight in the eyes and said, "You want to commit suicide after killing those people, right?"

"Ah..." Masashi's eyes drifted unconsciously, but he finally sighed and said, "Did you see that?"

"The last words in your father's music score are: Live well, my Chengshi."

Xi'er stared into Ma Chengshi's eyes and said, "What do you think?"

"I……"

Ma Cheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. It seemed that Xi'er had no intention of exposing him. If he stopped now and reported a few people, according to the current legal system, he would only be sentenced to a few years in prison at most. However, those people would not receive the punishment they deserved.

"I still stick to my idea..."

"Yeah……"

Xier sighed. It turned out that she couldn't be persuaded to come back... If that's the case...

Xier gently made way for the stairs, then closed her eyes and said, "I don't see a staircase here..."

"!"

Ma Cheng looked at Xier in shock. She didn't expect that she would help her like this.

"Thanks……"

After thanking Xier in a low voice, Ma Chengshi hurried to the second floor.

"Hmph...thank you...let's talk about this later..."

Chapter 42: Silence in the Moonlight

After putting the Ma Cheng Shi on, Xier simply washed herself in the bathroom, pretended that she didn't see her, and then returned to Xiaolan and the others.

"Ah, Sister Xier, you're back."

"Well, I just took a quick shower. I'm really tired from staying up all night~ Yawn..."

Xier pretended to be tired and stretched. To be honest, she could recover from this level of fatigue in two or three breaths, but she still had to pretend in front of Xiaolan and the others.

"By the way, what stage has the interrogation reached?" Xier asked.

"Most of them have been interrogated. The only ones left are Miss Kuroiwa Reiko, Mr. Nishimoto, and the secretary."

Xiaolan said as she recalled what Kogoro Mori had just said.

"So it's almost done?" Xier looked at Xiaolan and said, "By the way, Xiaolan, do you want to go swimming together later?"

"Eh? Is there a beach here?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

"That's right, this is a tourist island, so the infrastructure is there." Seele said and turned to look at Conan who was eavesdropping on the side.

"Why? Conan 'little brother' wants to join us?"

"Forehead!"

Looking at Seele's smiling eyes, Conan suddenly felt a chill for some reason, as if someone was plotting against him.

"Haha~ It turns out that children are just fun."

Xier patted Conan's shoulder gently. The expression on Conan's face just now was really funny.

"I'm back~"

Ma Chengshi, who pretended to come out of the toilet, came back. Seeing Ma Chengshi with a relaxed look on his face, Xier suddenly had bad intentions. She asked Chengshi, "Oh, by the way, Doctor Chengshi, do you want to go swimming together later?"

"what?"

Ma Chengshi was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Xier was joking with him. Xier knew his identity, so how could he go swimming?

After a while, the investigation was still not over. It was not because Inspector Megure was incompetent, but because the subject of the investigation was too strange.

First there was Mr. Nishimoto who said nothing. No matter how Officer Megure questioned him, he said nothing. Finally, she had no choice but to give up questioning him. Then she encountered Miss Reiko who was making a lot of noise, and now she had been making a lot of noise for at least fifteen minutes.

"Ms. Lingzi is really amazing..."
