Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

"You are Keiji Aso's son, right? That letter of authorization was written by you. Perhaps I should call you Keiji Aso."

Asai Narumi was stunned; he hadn't expected that Kurokawasaki Tsuki would know his background.

"Mr. Kurokawa, how did you know?"

“On my first day on the island, I inquired about Keiji Aso. The old policeman on your island said that your father left behind a musical score. I asked him to bring it to me. It contains a message left by your father, mentioning his son, Narumi, which is you.”

As he spoke, Kurokawa Saki took out the sheet music from his pocket and handed it to Asai Narumi.

Asai Narumi quickly checked the sheet music, which not only explained the whole story but also told Asai Narumi to live well, and to live a good life even after he was gone.

Asai Narumi's eyes immediately reddened, and he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

"Thank you, Mr. Kurokawa..."

Kurokawasaki patted him on the shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"Take it to the police, they will give your father justice."

When Asai Narumi arrived in front of the police with red eyes, Mouri Kogoro and the others arrived at Inspector Megure's place.

"What?! Kurokawa solved such a big case all by himself?"

Kogoro Mouri was incredulous, and Conan was shocked as well.

He couldn't believe that such a massive black market existed beneath the island, and he admired Kurokawasaki Tsuki's courage even more for daring to go straight to the heart of the enemy all by himself.

However, when they saw Asai Narumi, who had clearly been crying, their shocked expressions instantly turned into those of someone watching the drama unfold.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Conan quickly asked, "Dr. Asai, what's wrong?"

"I am fine."

Asai Narumi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gave a faint smile, looking quite like a tragic beauty.

Conan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

But when Conan heard what Narumi Asai said to Inspector Megure, he was dumbfounded. Not only him, but Ran and Kogoro Mouri were also dumbfounded.

This cute girl is actually... a cute boy?!

Kogoro Mouri suddenly realized, so he was actually the client. I haven't done anything yet, so he won't ask me for a refund of the commission fee, will he?

The group instantly turned their gazes toward Kurokawa Saki's departing figure, as if carrying a faint sense of melancholy.

Kurokawa-kun is really pitiful...

Conan and Ran silently voiced their support for Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

However, Kurokawa Saki didn't have many ideas; she just wanted to find a place to rest and think about what to have for dinner that night...

In the evening, Kurokawasaki Tsuki and the others boarded the ship back to Tokyo.

Asai Narumi also boarded the ship bound for Tokyo. There was nothing left for him to miss on Tsukikage Island. If it weren't for revenge, he probably wouldn't have gone back to that place.

Kurokawa Saki found a spot on the ship to close his eyes and rest. Although the effects of the Sharingan were not too great, they were still there, and he needed to recuperate properly.

However, Conan and Ran interpreted his appearance differently, making him look like he was heartbroken.

Before disembarking, Asai Narumi came over again to thank him and exchanged contact information.

"What are your plans?"

"Of course I'll go back to my original profession. My mentor had previously advised me to stay in Tokyo and work with him, but..."

"It's all in the past, so just enjoy life."

"I will. Although I've said it many times, I still want to say thank you, Mr. Kurokawa!"

.........

In the evening, I went to eat dinner again, which Xiaolan cooked, and it was still delicious.

Kogoro Mouri was happy to have earned a commission for free, and then he got drunk again.

After eating and drinking his fill, Conan sneaked up to Kurokawa Saki's side and asked, "Kurokawa-nii, are you alright?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well..." Conan scratched his head, carefully observing Kurokawasaki Tsuki's expression as he spoke, "about the fact that Dr. Asai is a boy..."

Kurokawasaki glanced at him, already guessing what Conan was thinking. "Aren't you known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era? What? Can't you even tell someone's gender?"

Conan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Kurokawasaki Tsuki with a suspicious expression.

"Kurokawa-kun, did you realize Dr. Asai was a man at first glance?"

Kurokawa Saki replied calmly, "I knew it the moment I saw him."

As for how they know, that's none of your business.

Conan asked curiously, "How did Kurokawa-san figure that out?"

Kurokawasaki Yue gestured for him to come closer, then whispered in his ear, "Heavenly—Gift—"

Conan revealed his crescent-shaped eyes: "Hehe..."

.........

The next day, Kurokawa Saki rubbed his eyes when he got up, feeling a little sore.

That being said, yesterday was the first time he used his Sharingan on someone.

As we all know, young people are often reckless the first time they do something.

I've overexerted myself a bit...

Since that's the case, Kurokawasaki Tsuki immediately decided to stay home and rest for a few days to recover. It's definitely not because he's a homebody, yes, definitely!

During the few days I was recuperating at home, Asai Narumi called to check on me for several days in a row, and also shared her life with me as if reporting on it.

On the first day, he talked about renting an apartment; on the second day, he contacted his advisor; and on the third day, he met with his advisor…

This made even Kawasaki Tsuki a little suspicious that Asai Narumi might be...

I can't even imagine it, I absolutely can't. Please, for the sake of the help I've given you, don't repay kindness with ingratitude, okay? Don't do this...

I spent a few anxious days at home pondering this.

The phone rang again, but Kurokawasaki Tsuki was already numb to it.

He answered the phone without even looking at it and waited for the other party to speak, but this time he heard an unexpected voice.

The voice on the other end was panting heavily, as if it had just experienced a life-or-death escape.

"Brother Kurokawa, I...I've been captured by that organization!"

"...?"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Malfunctioning Anesthetic Needle

Inside a public phone booth on a street in Tokyo.

Conan was very glad that he still had some change in his pocket.

After inserting the coin, he immediately called Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

Let's rewind to the morning.

Conan was peacefully playing video games at home.

Suddenly, a fat and ugly woman came to his door and claimed him as her son.

He even said his name was Edogawa Fumiyo, and then dragged him into the car and drove away.

Not only that, this fat woman actually knew his background, revealing not only his parents but also his identity as Shinichi Kudo.

And this fat woman also has a gun!

He even held a gun to Conan's forehead to threaten him.

However, Conan, being the reckless man he was, wouldn't let her have her way. While the fat woman was waiting at a red light at the intersection, he seized the opportunity, snatched the gun from her hand, and then stepped on the gas.

The fat woman quickly regained control of the car, and Conan took the opportunity to push open the door and run out.

He ran wildly through the streets and alleys, and only stopped after a full ten minutes.

And there just happens to be a public phone booth in this place.

And so, Kurokawa Saki received Conan's plea for help.

"Brother Kurokawa, I...I've been captured by that organization!"

"?"

Is there such an episode? I don't remember it.

"Don't panic, tell me what happened."

Conan quickly recounted what had happened that morning, emphasizing that the woman had a gun.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki's expression was somewhat strange.

This doesn't seem like the organization's style; it's clearly something they're doing to scare kids.

The images of Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo flashed through his mind.

Okay, crime solved.

"Kurokawa-kun, are you listening?"

"I understand. So where are you now?"

After looking around, Conan revealed their current location.

"I'll be there right now."

"Kurokawa-kun, let's go to Professor Agasa's family meeting place."

Does Conan's IQ drop to zero when it comes to anything related to the winery?

"How do you think they knew you lived at the Mori family's house? Judging from the current situation, they must have already found out everything about you. Maybe Professor Agasa's neighborhood is full of their people. Are you sure you still want to go over there to meet them?"

After Kurokawasaki's analysis, Conan froze, instantly realizing how close he had come to making such a basic mistake.

"You're right! Then I'll wait for you here, Kurokawa-nii!"

After hanging up the phone, Kurokawa Saki Tsuki got into his car and drove off.

After stepping outside, Kurokawasaki Tsuki froze.

I took out my phone's calendar and looked at it. Oh my god, what month did I get assigned to this?

How did it snow? And why is it so thick?

Kurokawasaki Tsuki's lips twitched.

Soon after, he arrived at the public phone booth that Conan had mentioned.

Conan, hiding in the shadows of the alley, closely watched the pedestrians and vehicles passing by, hoping to spot Kurokawasaki Tsuki as soon as possible.

Upon seeing the car driven by Kurokawasaki Tsuki for the first time, Conan couldn't wait to run out of the alley and dart into the passenger seat.

Since this morning, Conan's nerves have been on edge. Now that he sees Kuro Kawasaki, he can finally relax a little. After all, Kuro Kawasaki is both intelligent and skilled in martial arts, and it feels great to have someone to share the burden.

Moreover, when he needs help, he is able to rush over without fear of danger. Conan is now extremely moved by Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

However, Kurokawa Saki had no idea what Conan was thinking.

Seeing Conan's slightly moist eyes beside him, Kurokawa Saki remained silent.

Was Conan scared?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

I've been brave enough to go straight for Gin and Vodka before, but I wouldn't dare to be that bold...

Kurokawasaki Tsuki tried to soothe Kudo Shinichi's fragile little heart, so she placed her hand on his head: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Conan was taken aback and pushed away Kurokawa Saki's hand: "I'm not scared, I'm just... I..."

Conan was a little embarrassed to speak, saying that he was too moved to hold back his emotions, and that he shouldn't do such a thing, as it was too embarrassing.

He quickly changed the subject: "What should we do next?"

Although Conan's reaction was a bit strange, now is not the time to dwell on that.
