The funeral of former village chief Isamu Kameyama has ended, and the bourgeois Hideo Kawashima, who has the highest support rate, has disappeared.
Mouri Kogoro learned the news just after meeting the current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji.
People who attended the ceremony said that Kawashima Hideo got up and went to the toilet and never came back. They searched everywhere in the public hall but could not find anyone.
The first person Edogawa Conan suspected was Jin Kuroki who came in with them shortly after returning.
"Conan-kun, what do you want me to do?" Kuroki Jin didn't panic at all. "Although I left in the middle, it was only the first time that Mr. Kawashima and I met. You can't say that I am a murderer anymore."
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Mouri Kogoro, who felt guilty and refused to look at him.
Conan: "..."
He had to remember that if he used Uncle Maori's voice to solve a crime in the future, he should be careful to avoid any black wood in his words.
Because it was just a disappearance, most people didn't pay attention to it. When Conan Edogawa mentioned the commission letter sent to Kogoro Mori, only one person panicked and shouted, "He's back for revenge!" and ran away. Out the door.
"Who is that person?" Conan asked curiously.
"Nishimoto Ken was the childhood playmate of the former village chief Kameyama." Someone explained, "He has become a little crazy since the death of village chief Kameyama."
Conan felt that there must be another hidden reason behind the death of the former village chief, and that Ken Nishimoto should know something.
He wanted to trick everyone into going with him to find Takeru Nishimoto, but only Onto Wakagi responded to his call.
"It's very late now, Wen Renjun." Mao Lilan disapproved of the two children running around in the middle of the night.
"Let's go ask about the situation." Wen Ren scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Besides, Conan-kun is very talented in solving crimes, and I want to give it a try..."
It was Kudo Shinichi who led him on the path of detective, and now he also wants to explore with Conan.
Conan: "..."
Although it was a bit touching, there was no need to bring it back to him.
In the end, everyone except Kuroki Jin went to Nishimoto Ken's home. Although Conan also wanted to bring Kuroki over, Kuroki went straight to Asai Narumi as a shield.
"I feel a little seasick this morning. Can Dr. Chengshi please give me some medicine?"
A whole day has passed since the morning boat ride, so it was a little late for you to start feeling dizzy.
Kuroki Jin and Asai Narumi seemed to be walking towards the clinic, but in fact they took a turn when no one was around and came to a place that looked like a warehouse.
Along the coast of the warehouse, it was pitch dark and there were no lights. There were only portable lamps that the two men held in their hands at unknown times. They walked to the door, Asai Narumi took the key and opened the door, shining the light into the house.
There was some dust in the room, and there were piles of debris around it. There was an open space in the middle, and a chair was placed there, with someone sitting on the chair.
People had their backs to the door. Kuroki Jin walked behind Asai Narumi and closed the door, raising a cloud of dust.
"Mr. Kawashima, don't pretend to be dumb when you wake up." Asai Narumi did not come close. He was holding a lantern, which flickered brightly and dimly so that people could not see his face clearly.
"The smell of blood." Kuroki Ren sniffed next to him.
"What?"
Kuroki Ren didn't answer, but took two steps forward so that the light could shine on the person on the chair.
It was true that he was Hideo Kawashima, but a knife was inserted into his heart. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open. He had been dead for a long time.
"Who did this?" Asai Narimi frowned. He and Kuroki Jin just captured people and tied them up here. It is impossible for anyone to know.
"Maybe it's someone who has a grudge against Kawashima." Kuroki Jin's words were ambiguous, and even he himself didn't believe it.
"Then what should we do now?" Asai Narumi was a little panicked. Although he was ready to kill someone, the person he didn't kill was dying in front of him, which made him not know what to do for a moment.
"I originally wanted to ask something from him." Kuroki Ren put down the hand he had been raising a little regretfully, "It's getting late, Dr. Narumi, why don't you go to bed."
His tone was gentle, but Naomi Asai frowned when he heard it: "What do you want to do without me?"
"Putting the body here will stink, and it's hard to tell if it will attract a group of restless people." Kuroki Ren looked in the direction of the sea, although there were no windows in the warehouse.
"But a body that sinks into the sea will never be found easily."
Asai Narumi left, and Kuroki Jin found an unused life raft in the warehouse. After inflating it, he put Kawashima on it and went into the sea. He punched a small hole in the life raft before letting it drift away.
Asai Narimi, who was not far away, saw that he was really going to dispose of the body, so she left with peace of mind.
After he left, Kuroki patted his dusty hands and returned to the warehouse again.
"Let's talk?" He said towards the warehouse where there was no sign of anyone.
After waiting for a while and seeing no one, Kuroki Ren remained calm: "Mr. Keiji Aso, you have met your son as you wished. You should fulfill your promise."
There were subtle footsteps in the darkness, and Kuroki Ren did not look back. The next second, there was a sound of breaking through the air, followed by the sound of a close-quarters clash.
Kuroki used the dagger in his hand to deflect the steel needle that hit his forehead, shook his slightly numb right hand, and smiled at the black shadow that had just appeared.
"You shouldn't have had a hand in this." The dark shadow's deep voice sounded like a ghost in the night.
"You don't seem to be surprised by my ability." Kuroki Jin was a little puzzled. He picked up the portable lamp that he had just placed on the ground and sat on the seat where Hideo Kawashima had been tied up.
"Please sit down and let's have a peaceful chat."
The black shadow sat on the box at hand, and he didn't mind being dirty. He took off the hat on his head and fanned the wind, and the wind brought up a piece of dust.
"I know all the people who come to Moon Shadow Island." Heiying said, "With you, the detective Mouri Kogoro, who has become somewhat famous recently, and his daughter Maori Ran, who has a black belt in karate, are from Tedan Elementary School. Edogawa Conan, a member of the Young Detective Team, and Wakaki Onto, a new detective who was taught by Kudo Shinichi.”
"Of course there is you, Kuroki Ren, the owner of the candy house who is engaged in illegal business." The shadow said lightly, "Of course, if you want me to call you by another name..."
"No, just Kuroki Jin." Kuroki Jin's smile did not change, and he was not surprised that the other party knew so much, "As expected of Mr. Keiji Aso, the shadow of Moon Shadow Island, he knows a lot."
"You know a lot," Keiji Aso said.
"Most of what I know comes from others, so I may not be as courageous as you, Mr. Aso -"
A sneer appeared on Kuroki Ren's face illuminated by the light, and a monstrous murderous intent was directed at the location of the black shadow.
"——After all, you did something I couldn't even imagine."
