Terahara Mari smiled and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey, Mr. Maori. I hope you can complete your mission successfully."

"Thank you, Ms. Mari."

Maoli took the car keys and thanked her.

Then, he turned around and took the suitcase from Xiaolan. After easily putting the suitcase in the car, he said to Xiaolan, "Let's go, Lan, let's go."

"Little devil, follow me."

"Hi~"

……

Maori drove his new Cadillac towards the dock in a domineering manner. The speed was so fast that Xiaolan and Conan kept screaming in the back seat.

"Be careful, Dad!"

"Don't worry, your father is an experienced driver."

Mao Li drifted past a police car steadily. A beautiful female traffic police officer sitting in the police car stuck her head out and yelled: "Driving so fast in the city! Do you believe I will catch you immediately?"

The other cute female traffic police officer with twin ponytails beside her patted her on the shoulder and said helplessly, "Forget it, Yumi, that car doesn't have a license plate yet. It's a new car, and we can't catch up with it. It would be better if Miwako came instead."

"Who is that?"

Yumi Miyamoto crossed her arms and said indignantly, "Can't you be more stable like my idol Mr. Maori?"

Finally, Maori and his friends managed to catch the last ferry to Moonshadow Island.

The ferry to Moonshadow Island runs infrequently, and this boat is already very old.

After boarding the ferry, the boat was bumping along the sea. Maori leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, seemingly unaffected.

Xiaolan and Conan held on tightly to the handrails beside them, trying their best to avoid being too uncomfortable from the bumpy ride.

Xiaolan frowned and leaned weakly on Maori, "Really, this boat is too broken."

Conan helplessly held onto the chair and nodded, "Yeah, I hope to get to Moon Shadow Island soon."

After a bumpy voyage, they finally arrived at Moon Shadow Island.

Kogoro Mouri took Xiaolan and Conan off the ferry, and in front of them was a quiet island with sea breeze and pleasant scenery.

Just as the three Maori people were dragging their luggage to look for a hotel, a beautiful doctor came out of a clinic on the side of the road and asked them:

"what?"

"Are you tourists from Tokyo?"

Chapter 103 Asai Narimi

The female doctor had an oval face and looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

Under the white coat was a red sweater and a blue skirt, and the most eye-catching thing was the white stockings she wore.

Her voice is slightly neutral, gentle and a little low.

Since she didn't look like a bad person, Xiaolan smiled and replied, "Yes, we just arrived by boat."

"Really? I was born in Tokyo, too. But this place is very different from Tokyo, right? The air is very fresh, and I like the quietness of this island."

"It's so nice to see you guys."

The female doctor nodded at Mouri Ran with a smile, but her attention was more focused on Mouri Kogoro.

Neither Xiaolan nor Conan was surprised at all. Since Kogoro Mouri became handsome, the women looked at him more often.

Maori Kogoro looked at her and smiled. "Indeed, this place is very quiet. Are you the doctor here?"

The female doctor nodded and smiled gently. "Yes, my name is Asai Narimi, and I work in this clinic. You look like you are here for tourism, right? If you need any help, you can come to me."

"of course."

Kogoro Mori looked at Dr. Asai Narimi meaningfully. To his surprise, unlike the cross-dressing man in the original book, this Dr. Asai seemed to be a real girl.

As a veteran in the world of women and a man who can recognize a woman by her scent, Kogoro Mori saw through Asai Narumi's true colors at a glance.

It’s absolutely true, it’s definitely a girl!

However, her patience didn't seem to be very good. Not only did she not change her name, but she couldn't wait to come up and get to know me as soon as I arrived on the island.

Judging from the story in the original book, the people killed by Asai Narimi were not good people. Mori was willing to come here not only for the sake of the 3 million, but also to think about whether he could help this beautiful doctor get rid of the crime.

Also, as mentioned before, Mao Li wanted to find a doctor for his personal nurse Nakayama Kazumi to open a clinic together.

Conan asked curiously, "Doctor Asai, are there many tourists here?"

Asai Chengmi shook his head. "Not much. Especially recently, the island is relatively quiet..."

Just then, a campaign car sped past, and a noisy horn sounded: "Please vote for Shimizu Masato!"

"Shimizu Masato!"

The sound of the horn suddenly broke the tranquility of the island, making it seem secular.

Asai Chengshi laughed dryly twice: "This is an exception. There just happened to be an election for village chief here, and the three candidates in the village are constantly canvassing for votes, so this is the case."

"The three candidates are fisherman representative Shimizu Masato, the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji whose evaluation has recently declined, and Kawashima Hideo, the most powerful man in the village. Everyone should vote for Kawashima Hideo."

Are you rushing to give information?

But it's not your chance to appear yet.

Mao Li smiled and waved his hand, "Doctor Asai, we are not actually interested in the election of village chief. We are more interested in finding an inn now."

“Ah, I’m sorry…”

Asai Chengshi said embarrassedly, "If you need to find a hotel, I can recommend a good one to you."

Mao Li nodded and thanked him, "That's great, thank you for your help, Doctor Asai."

Asai Chengmi pointed ahead enthusiastically, "Go down this road and in about five minutes you will find a nice hotel called 'Moon Shadow Inn'. The owner is a very enthusiastic person, you will definitely like him."

Perhaps he knew he had said too much, so after Asai Chengshi pointed out the direction, he immediately remained reserved and stood there gracefully.

"Thank you, Dr. Asakura."

Xiaolan thanked him politely and hugged Kogoro Mouri's arm with some caution.

This beautiful doctor is so pretty, the type that my dad would like. I’ll have to keep a close eye on my dad!

"It's okay, I hope you have fun here."

Asai Narimi waved his hand, turned around and walked back to the clinic.

"How about it, kid, do you think that doctor is good-looking?"

After Asai Narimi left, Maori Kogoro deliberately lowered his head and asked Conan in a teasing tone.

Conan curled his lips slightly, "Well, it's pretty nice. However, I'm more concerned about the situation on this island."

Maori smiled and said, "It seems that you are not very interested in the doctor's beauty, but more passionate about the investigation."

Boy, you are not good enough. You didn’t even grasp such an important clue as Asai Narimi.

It seems that I can easily get the side quest reward, the Roulette of All Worlds, this time. It would be great to bring the little brat along so I can get the rewards.

Speaking of which, I think several people will die this time. If the reward for solving the case is calculated based on the number of deaths, then I can get five consecutive draws by completing this trip.

Maori was fantasizing happily. Ran saw his swaying expression and thought he was still thinking about Asai Narimi, so she simply interrupted and said, "Dad, you always like to tease Conan. Doctor Asai is indeed very beautiful, but Conan is still young and will definitely not understand."

"But Dad must not be lured away by Dr. Asai!"

"That's hard to say."

Mao Li smiled and raised his eyebrows, "But if Lan can always attract my attention, then I won't be attracted by others."

"father!"

Xiaolan hugged Maori's arm shyly, and Conan looked dead and pulled the corner of his mouth.

Haha, uncle just likes to make this kind of joke. Xiaolan is your daughter, how can she attract you? It’s more like attracting me.

However, Conan didn't know that Xiaolan was really thinking seriously about how to attract her father's attention on the island.

……

Maori and his group found a hotel on the island. After settling their luggage, they went to the island's office, hoping to get more information about Keiji Aso.

The office is an old building with a strong local style. The exterior walls are decorated with wooden boards and vines, exuding a strong rural atmosphere.

The sign at the door reads "Yueying Island Office". Although the handwriting is not very clear, it has a unique flavor.

After entering the office, Kogoro Mouri, Ran and Conan were welcomed into a simple but warm reception room.

With photos of island scenery hanging on the walls and traditional wooden floors on the floor, the whole room is filled with the local flavor of the island.

A young man was sitting behind the desk. When he saw them come in, he immediately stood up to greet them.

"Hey, famous Maori Detective, welcome to Moon Shadow Island. I'm the clerk on the island and also your fan!"

He held out his hand excitedly, "How can I help you?"

Chapter 104 Are you talking about this song?

It seems that my fame has become very big.

Even on this remote island, there are people who know me.

Mao Li was inwardly proud and stepped forward to shake hands with the clerk. "Hello, we are from Tokyo. We are invited by Mr. Keiji Aso to do this. We hope to get some information about him."

The clerk frowned slightly, tried to recall, flipped through the resident registration form, and said to Maori with regret: "Mr. Maori, I'm really sorry, there is no such person as Keiji Aso in my memory or in the resident registration form."

"Do you have any more information?"

"We only have this letter and a remittance as clues."

Mao Li took out the letter made of cutout words and the remittance slip for 3 million yen that had recently been transferred from his pocket.

"That's it..."

The clerk was scratching his head. At this time, a middle-aged man came over and asked, "I'm the director here. What happened?"

"Ah, Director, Mr. Maori said that a man named Keiji Aso invited him to Tsukikage Island, but I can't find any information about that man."

The clerk quickly explained, but he didn't expect that when the director heard Aso Keiji's name, his face turned pale and he shouted loudly: "What did you say?! Aso Keiji invited??"

As he shouted, the faces of all the older people in the office changed.

"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

"Because Keiji Aso died more than ten years ago!"

Ran and Conan's faces changed when they heard this, but Maori had expected this and asked calmly, "Please tell me more about Mr. Aso Keiji."

As expected, just like in the anime, after the pianist Keiji Aso returned to the island's community center for a tour twelve years ago, he returned home and set fire to himself and his family to death. He also played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the flames, so this could not have been a commission from Keiji Aso.

Xiaolan couldn't help but frowned: "Dad, is this a prank?"

Maori Kogoro shook his head: "You don't pay the commission fee first for a prank."

Mao Li thought for a moment and asked, "Director, is there any more information about Keiji Aso? We would like to know more."

"Then the village chief should know more. He should be in the community center now... Oh, today is the second anniversary of the death of the previous village chief. There are many people who know Keiji Aso in the community center. Detective Mori, you can go there and ask. Maybe there will be clues."

The director said worriedly, "Is it possible that our peaceful Moon Shadow Island will also be in turmoil?"

It is definitely not peaceful, but I don’t agree with the word calm.

Maori, who knew the plot of the original novel, curled his lips. Moon Shadow Island was involved in drug trafficking. It was a place full of filth and dirt. How could it be said to be peaceful?

"Thank you very much, Mr. Manager. We will take our leave now."

After saying goodbye to the director of the office, Maori and his group headed towards the community center.

Along the way, they met some villagers who came to pay their respects, most of whom were wearing black.

Men made up the majority, and their wary looks suggested that the atmosphere on this island was not as peaceful as it seemed.

When they arrived at the Civic Center, the sight before them was even more striking.
