Conan: When I Be Gin's Brother

"Really, I could have gone to enjoy the flowers tomorrow!"

"Why does a famous detective like me, Mouri Kogoro, have to go to an island like that!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Maoli looked at the foggy sea in front of him, his heart full of melancholy.

"And I have to help take care of this kid..."

Uncle Maori glanced at Kurosawa Rin standing next to him and sighed helplessly.

"Haha..." Kurosawa Rin laughed dryly. Miyano Akemi had to go to work and had no time at all.

Although he felt that he did not need anyone else to take care of him, his sister Akemi still solemnly visited Kogoro and asked him to take care of him.

Rin Kurosawa had no choice but to accept it. In fact, this was good, as he could follow Conan and the others to participate in the plot.

"Dad, don't say that!" Xiaolan suddenly appeared at the side. "Just treat it as if we were all hanging out together."

“Imagine spending a few days leisurely on a small island in the Izu Islands, I’m looking forward to it!”

She looked expectant, looked down at Conan and smiled, "Isn't that right, Conan!"

"Yes!" Conan nodded, his expression a bit expectant, but what he was looking forward to was obviously not the leisurely vacation that Xiaolan mentioned, but the investigation of Yueying Island, a commission that he was very concerned about.

But Mouri Kogoro still had a melancholy expression on his face, slightly aggrieved, "Although this is true, why did that guy bring the ferry ticket in his entrustment letter? We have to pay for the ticket ourselves!"

Conan chuckled.

What? It turns out that Uncle Maori is fighting against injustice over this matter.

Kurosawa Rin stood aside and looked at Conan speechlessly.

Why does he think this is Conan's fault?

Could it be that because he did not reply to the other party to accept the entrustment, the other party felt that he had not successfully entrusted the detective and also lost a ferry ticket, so he did not send the ticket with him when entrusting Kogoro.

Kurosawa Rin was speechless, maybe this is really the reason...

He stopped paying attention to the conversation between Maoli and Xiaolan next to him. He returned to a quiet place in the cabin, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

After these few days of practice, he successfully completed the steps of withdrawing his consciousness and going deep into the inner world. After the first success, he seemed to have found the trick. He no longer needed the assistance of music and incense. He could only completely complete it in a quiet place.

Enter a meditative state.

Although the second step has been completed, there has been no progress in the third step of feeling the extension of consciousness and the rhythm of magic power.

Not only could he not feel the extension of his consciousness, but even the magic of the inner world was chaotic and disorderly, like molecules in Brownian motion with no rules at all, let alone the so-called rhythm.

After about twenty minutes, Kurosawa Rin slowly opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"There's still no progress..."

After stretching, Kurosawa Rin walked out of the cabin again. Conan and the others were still in the same place. It looked like they had been enjoying the sea breeze for twenty minutes. It was amazing that they didn't catch a cold.

Looking into the distance, the outline of Yueying Island gradually became clearer.

Soon the ship docked, and everyone disembarked and officially landed on Yueying Island.

The first thing I did when I got off the ship was to find the client, Keiji Aso.

Mao Li took everyone to the village hall on the island.

"What did you say?! There is no such person on Yueying Island?" Maoli was surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Why don't you look for it more carefully? I have a letter he sent me here!"

The staff at the village office were also a little flustered, and they kept flipping through the island's residents' handbook and checking again and again.

“But there is really no such person in the resident handbook!”

"I'm new here and haven't been here for long, so don't force me..." The staff member looked embarrassed.

"What happened?"

Noticing the movement here, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader walked over.

The staff member seemed to have seen a savior, "Ah, Director!"

"This gentleman seems to have received a letter from the island residents and came to the island after receiving a commission. However, the resident cannot be found in the handbook at all."

The director asked suspiciously, "Entrustment?"

"Yes, the islander who entrusted me seems to be named Aso Keiji."

"What!" The director was shocked

"You mean Aso, Keiji Aso!!"

With an exclamation, everyone in the village office couldn't help being shocked when they heard the name Keiji Aso. They all looked at Mouri and others with strange eyes. A few people even ran out of the village office with expressions of horror on their faces.

"This, this is absolutely impossible! Because Keiji Aso died more than ten years ago!!"

"What!"

Maori and others were stunned, but Kurosawa Rin had known everything for a long time and did not show too many surprised expressions.

His expression became serious. Maori looked at the director of the village office and said seriously: "Can you please tell me more about Keiji Aso?"

The director was a little hesitant, but after looking at Maoli's serious expression, he still nodded. He led a few people to a separate conversation room with some concerns, and introduced the matter to a few people in a low voice.

"Keiji Aso was actually born on our Moon Shadow Island. He used to be a very famous pianist."

"One night twelve years ago, he returned to his hometown after many years and held a piano recital in the village public hall."

"But I didn't expect that after the concert, he suddenly locked himself and his family in his home and set a fire. It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and it was like being cursed in the flames.

Keep playing the piano."

"That piece was Beethoven's piano sonata that he played that night—"

"moonlight!"

After listening to this slightly magical story, everyone thanked the director and left the village office.

"It turned out that this was just a prank using the name of a dead person."

"It really wasted so much of my time."

Mao Li looked down at the commission letter in his hand, rolled it up into a ball and threw it back in displeasure.

"I don't think this is a prank."

Kurosawa Rin reached out to catch the paper ball that Mouri threw away, smoothed it out and handed it back to Kogoro Mouri, explaining with a smile.

"Uncle Maori has already received the commission fee, and the ticket is genuine. If it was a prank, he wouldn't have spent so much money to prank us."

"It does make some sense..." Maori took the commission letter and listened to Kurosawa Rin's continued analysis.

"This letter may be from a friend of Keiji Aso, and the person who wants us to come over to investigate may be the death of Keiji Aso!

Next we should go to the public center to investigate, and we can also ask the village chief there."

The analysis was reasonable and reasonable. Mao Li felt a little embarrassed, so he quibbled and said, "Well... that's the truth. I thought so before. I just wanted to test you."

He patted Kurosawa Rin's shoulder seriously, looking like he was working hard, "It seems that your reasoning is pretty good, but you need to work harder if you want to become a famous detective like me!"

"

Kurosawa Rin looked modest and nodded.

"I actually don't know how to reason at all. Of course I'm not as good as a detective like Uncle Maori."

Conan squinted his eyes and couldn't bear to listen.

The uncle can bully someone with a good personality like Kurosawa Rin, but he really doesn’t have any points for his own weight!

He turned his head and simply stopped listening to Mouri's "Detective Lecture". The black-haired woman in front of him caught Conan's attention.

It was a girl with a ponytail, wearing a white coat and a black skirt, leading a little boy out of the Yueying Island Clinic behind her.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Conan vaguely felt that there was something subtle about her walking posture.

"Okay, Kenta-kun."

She stopped at the door, bent down and warned the boy in front of her carefully: "You must sleep well when you go back, so that you can recover from your illness!"

"Well, goodbye doctor sister!"

The boy ran away, and the doctor waved goodbye behind him before returning to the clinic behind him.

At this time, Xiaolan stepped forward and asked the female doctor across Conan, "Excuse me!"

"Excuse me, where is the public hall?"

The female doctor thought for a moment, then pointed over her head in the direction to the right, "After turning the corner in front, just go straight forward to the end."

She looked at the others with some confusion, "Could it be that you are tourists from Tokyo?"

Xiaolan nodded, "Well, they were from the boat just now."

"Hey!" The female doctor was a little excited, as if surprised to see a fellow countryman, "I was born in Tokyo too!"

"This place is very different from a big city like Tokyo! Not only is the air fresh, but the environment is also very quiet!"

A vehicle playing a campaign broadcast suddenly drove up the street behind a few people. It made a loud noise and slowly passed by the president.

"Please vote for Qingshui Village Chief! Please vote for Qingshui Village Chief!"

The car drove slowly by, the sound still echoing in my ears.

The atmosphere among everyone was a little awkward for a while.
