After coming out of the household registration office, Mouri Kogoro was about to tear up the letter of entrustment angrily, "Damn it, it's actually a letter from a dead person. This nasty prank makes me so angry..."
"Who would pay half a million to play a prank? The price of this prank is too high." Hoshino Sora touched his chin and thought, "But then again, if I was the one who played the prank and wanted to get rid of the uncle, well, Five hundred thousand is nothing...Uncle, are you interested in going to the Taklimakan Desert, I invite you to go."
Maori Kogoro:"!!!"
Xiaolan and Conan: "..."
"Hundan, do you want me to die?" Maori Kogoro blew his beard angrily. Although he didn't know where Taklimakan was, he still knew the desert. If he went to the desert to play, wouldn't he be looking for a cemetery for himself?
Hoshino Sora said with regret: "Actually, the desert is quite fun. There you can truly experience the artistic conception of 'the solitary smoke is straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river'."
Conan complained: "I'm afraid that if we don't have the chance to see this kind of scene, we will encounter a sandstorm where we can't see anything."
After Hoshino Sora's gag, Mouri Kogoro also realized that this might not be as simple as a prank.
"Uncle, this must be someone on the island who wants to ask uncle to investigate Keiji Aso." Conan couldn't help but remind him.
"Yes, Dad, this may be Keiji Aso's friend!" Xiaolan reacted, "In that case, we might as well ask the village chief who manages this island. Maybe we can find clues. What do you think, Dad? ?”
Mouri Kogoro pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Yeah, that's fine. I heard that the village chief seems to be at the public hall. Come on, let's go to the public hall."
So, the group of people followed the previous director's guidance and headed towards the main road. But after all, it was their first time here, and when they came to the fork in the road, they didn't know which way to go.
Fortunately, they saw a clinic called 'Yueying Island Clinic' opened on the roadside ahead. A beautiful woman with a single ponytail in a white coat was telling a child to have a good rest.
Seeing that she had finished talking to the children and was about to return to the clinic, Xiaolan quickly stepped forward and asked, "I'm sorry, where is the public center?"
The woman turned around and saw Maori's group, especially when she saw Maori Kogoro, her heart trembled slightly, and then she pretended not to recognize them and showed them the way, "For the public hall, you turn right in front and walk to the end. …Hey, you guys are from out of town, I’ve never seen you before.”
"Yes, we came here by boat from Dong'an." Xiaolan smiled and nodded.
The woman looked surprised when she heard this, as if a fellow villager had met a fellow villager, "To tell you the truth, I was actually born in Donggan, but this island is different from Donggan, it's great..."
As she spoke, she opened her arms and proudly introduced to everyone: "The air here is fresh and the environment is quiet. It's very..."
At this moment, a car was approaching from a distance. Before it came, a deafening horn sounded from the car: "Shimizu Masato, please vote for Shimizu Masato..."
The rumbling sound passed by the group of people and bombarded other places.
For a moment, the scene was a little strange.
The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, and she explained awkwardly: "Haha, this is an exception, because the election of the village chief is going on, so it will be a bit noisy. Speaking of electing the village chief, there are currently three people competing, namely..."
"Ahem, Miss Nurse, we are not interested in who will be the village chief." Mouri Kogoro quickly interrupted the familiar woman's soliloquy.
Although this female nurse is very beautiful, Mouri Kogoro unexpectedly did not call. Maybe she is too heroic, or maybe her figure is not impactful enough. In short, it is not enough to turn Mouri Kogoro into a licking dog.
"I'm not a nurse. I'm the doctor here, Asai Narumi, with a medical license." Asai Narumi corrected Mouri Kogoro.
"It turns out he's a doctor. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Mouri Kogoro said embarrassedly.
Later, the group was informed by Asai Narumi that the public hall would hold the second anniversary ceremony of Mr. Kameyama, the former village chief, tonight.
After bidding farewell to Asai Narumi, the four of them headed to the public hall. Before they could get closer, they heard noisy protests in the distance.
“The current village chief’s tyranny is not allowed!”
“Down with privilege!”
"Give me back my farmland!"
"Don't pollute the fisheries!"
"..."
Just hearing this gives the impression that the current village chief is not a good village chief.
"Does the current village chief have such a bad reputation?" Xiaolan asked doubtfully.
"That seems to be the case." Mouri Kogoro pondered, "However, it is not ruled out that some people want to maliciously smear him. Didn't Dr. Asai just say that there are three people vying for the position of village chief?"
"Can it still be like this?" Xiaolan couldn't believe it, "This method is too insidious."
Hoshino Sora said with a smile: "This kind of thing is very common. For example, in my company, people often take it for granted."
"I have also heard a lot of negative news about Star Wishes Company. Although there are less of them now, there are still some." Xiaolan asked worriedly, "Akong, your losses must be huge, right?"
"Loss? Oh, I don't care. It doesn't matter if I make money or not. If you encounter this kind of thing, you don't need to pay attention to the clown. Just pay the clown's owner directly and there will be no problem. If you really can't find the owner , you just think, who will benefit if my company collapses? According to this logic, just open the map cannon and bombard it." Hoshino Sora said calmly.
Mouri Kogoro's face trembled and he said speechlessly: "No wonder no other company is willing to cooperate with you. I heard that your company has offended the operator."
"It seems that there is such a thing. Those idiots have to change the startup logo of Xingxing mobile phone to their style, and then give it to them to sell. Damn, with their little technology, I can do it. As for They are all a bunch of noobs. I have planned to spend ten or twenty years burning money with them, but they are actually cowarded, so they have the nerve to call me big brother." Hoshino Sora said disdainfully.
The three Maori people: "..."
So, you not only make mobile phones, but also become an operator.
While everyone was talking, they arrived in front of the public hall, and then saw a fat man in his thirties wearing glasses coming out of the public hall and persuading the protesting people to leave, because there was a funeral ceremony for the former village chief in the evening.
Listening to the cursed conversations among the people, the group found out that this fat man was the secretary of the current village chief.
Mouri Kogoro's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, introduced his identity, and then expressed that he wanted to meet the village chief and learn something about the situation.
The fat man's name was Hirata Kazaki. He looked timid and quite unsure of himself. When he heard that Mouri Kogoro was a detective, he was shocked and ran to report it.
