The next day, Saturday, was sunny.
Hoshino Sora first ate breakfast made by Kana Mizuguchi, and then went back to his hometown to eat a loving breakfast made by his mother. Then he lifted little Hinata up as usual before going to the Mori Detective Agency with satisfaction.
"Why do you want to go too?"
After meeting, Mouri Kogoro frowned and looked speechless.
"I want to learn some reasoning skills from uncle. I think your reasoning ability has surpassed that of Shinichi, so let me learn it. As tuition, I will cover all the expenses on the road." Hoshino Sora said seriously.
Of course he couldn't call Mouri Kogoro the God of Death in front of him. Once he went out, disaster would definitely happen and Chiyu would be affected...
So, I can only say something cheap. For Xiaolan's safety, I risked my life.
By the way, this guy Shinichi went on a journey to conquer the world, but he asked me to take care of his girlfriend... It seems that he still doesn't know about the uncle's bad luck. This bad luck is due to Xiaolan's bad luck, otherwise it will be really troublesome. .
The reason why Hoshino Sora followed him was just to take precautions before it happened. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. If Xiaolan was really hurt, it would be difficult to explain to Shinichi.
"Ah ha ha ha ha~" After hearing this, Mouri Kogoro patted Hoshino Sora's arm with appreciation and said, "Since you are so sincere, then I will give you a chance to learn from a famous detective. . Come on, let’s take a taxi to Mihua Port, Kong, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
"Dad, don't always take advantage of Kong!" Xiaolan quickly tried to dissuade him.
Really, people are just being polite, but you are really being rude.
Mouri Kogoro said matter-of-factly: "What does this mean? Don't say he is learning from me. Even if he is not learning from me, he should still do it. After all, if you want to pursue my daughter, you have to show something. You haven't married yet, Why are your elbows turned outward?"
Hoshino Sora: "???"
Xiaolan and Conan: "!!!"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Akong and I are just good friends!" Xiaolan yelled.
Conan also stared at Mouri Kogoro angrily, slandering in his heart: "This cheap-grained old man with a mustache even sold his own daughter..."
In a slightly awkward atmosphere, the group arrived at Mihua Port and boarded the ship bound for Moon Shadow Island. When the ship left the port, it encountered fog, which made Kogoro Mouri, who was about to watch the vast sea, feel unhappy. He couldn't help complaining, "Really, the weather is so good today. We can obviously go to see flowers, why am I like this?" A famous detective must go to that kind of island! What a puzzling client!"
While complaining, he thought of the strange commission letter and the five hundred thousand commission fee he received last week, as well as the call from the client yesterday, telling him to go to Yueying Island.
Really, being rich is amazing...
It's amazing to have money.
It's true that he spent the commission fee and had to come. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to Moon Shadow Island.
"Speaking of which, uncle, what does that commission letter mean? Do you understand it?" Hoshino Sora asked curiously.
The commission letter was sent by Keiji Aso, and it was a sentence spelled out with words cut out from a newspaper: 'On the next full moon night, shadows will begin to disappear again on Tsukikage Island.'
Yesterday evening, Hoshino Sora had read the letter, but had no idea what mystery was hidden in it.
"Tch, who knows what it means. Anyway, you'll know when you get to the island and ask me." Mouri Kogoro said nonchalantly.
In his opinion, no matter how weird this commission is, as long as the person involved can be found, there is a starting point and it can be solved, unless the letter is sent by someone who does not exist.
…
When we arrived at Tsukikage Island, it was already after noon, and everyone had lunch on the boat. Therefore, after landing on the island, we immediately went to the household registration office to ask for information about Aso Keiji.
only……
"Aso... Keiji, it's strange, it seems there is no such name..." The boy who received Maori looked through the roster, but could not find the name.
"Hey, hey, don't rummage so fast. Look carefully. It must be there." Mouri Kogoro said, taking out the commission letter from the inner pocket of his clothes and confirming, "Look, this is what he sent. The letter has the postmark of your Moon Shadow Island on it."
The younger brother said helplessly: "But this name is indeed not registered in the resident register. Maybe this person does exist, but I am also new here and I really don't know this person..."
At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses who looked like a leader came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, director, this gentleman was commissioned by a certain resident on the island. He is looking for a person named Keiji Aso, but there is no information about this person on the roster." The younger brother quickly replied.
When the director heard this, he was shocked and screamed, "What did you say, Keiji Aso?"
Following his exclamation, other old men and women in the household registration office who were working or preparing to do things, as well as some elderly people, suddenly heard this familiar yet unfamiliar name, and their dusty memories were suddenly brought back. Then his face changed drastically and his eyes showed fear.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora said casually: "Why are you so scared? Is this person some kind of murderer?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed again.
The director said tremblingly: "You are right to say that, but... he has been dead for more than ten years!"
The three Maori people were horrified, which meant that the commission letter was sent by a dead person who had been dead for more than ten years!
Hoshino Sora: "..."
"What's going on?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
The director's face was pale and he invited a few people to the reception room with a solemn expression. After sitting down, he calmed down and told everyone about Keiji Aso.
Keiji Aso was born on Moon Shadow Island and was a very famous pianist in the past. Twelve years ago, on a full-moon night, he took his wife and daughter back to his long-lost hometown and held a piano recital in the village public hall. But after the concert, something terrible happened.
As if he was under a curse, he set a fire in his home and set it on fire. It is said that he first killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and then set the fire. In the blazing flames, Beethoven's piano sonata "Moonlight" was constantly echoing. The fire was like a huge and ferocious flaming beast, engulfing the house. "Moonlight" is like a wail, sounding continuously...
After hearing this, Maori and his daughter felt cold, especially Xiaolan, who was holding Maori Kogoro's arm and trembling with fear.
Conan frowned, feeling that there was something fishy about this matter.
