Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

On a holiday, on the sea to the Izu Islands, a ship sailed in the white mist.

Gao Cheng silently walked to the bow of the boat, looking at the small island gradually emerging from the mist.

In the few days when he became a child, he received a letter of entrustment from Keiji Aso, together with a commission fee of 300,000 yen, and just before he arrived here by boat, the system also announced the case , which happened to be the incident on Moon Shadow Island.

Regarding this incident, his only remaining impression was that there was a pseudo-mother named Narumi Asai, and everything else was completely blurred.

Gao Cheng also didn't understand why he remembered a pseudo-mother, his sexual orientation was normal, remembering Narumi Asai should be just a coincidence, maybe some key person.

but……

Gao Cheng half-opened his eyes and looked at Kogoro Mori, who was complaining endlessly.

"Really, you can go to enjoy the flowers." Kogoro Mori murmured with a cigarette in his mouth, glancing at Gao Cheng from the corner of his eye, "Why do I, Kogoro Mori, a famous detective, have to go to the hell with this guy? deserted island?"

"I still want to ask," Gao Cheng said dissatisfiedly, "Why are they all detectives, and someone's commission fee is 500,000 yuan, but I, as a famous detective, only have 300,000 yuan?"

Mori Kogoro said angrily: "Stinky boy, what kind of famous detective are you? If it weren't for you, I might have 800,000 yuan?"

"Okay, okay." Mao Lilan looked at the two people who were not dealing with each other, and persuaded with a wry smile in the middle, "Just treat it as a trip, there is nothing to quarrel about."

"Humph!"

Gao Cheng and the two turned their heads away at the same time.

Also opened a detective agency in Mihua Town, not far away, there was already a business competition, and the conflict has become more obvious recently.

A few days before coming to Izu, Mori Kogoro relied on Conan to solve a case in Saitama Prefecture. The reputation of "Sleeping Detective" is getting bigger and bigger. The lively Gao Cheng came up and placed with Mori Kogoro.

In recent days, the two voices of "Sleeping Detective" and "Modern Zuowen" have been fighting against each other in the newspapers, and they have been arguing hard.

"Modern Zuo Wenwen" is the name given to him by the media without authorization, because he used a wooden knife to investigate cases several times, which happened to be very similar to the protagonist Zuo Wenwen in a detective novel many years ago.

Although Takamoto himself doesn't like this title, he doesn't want to be compared to Kogoro Mori, and in the end he is very stiff even when meeting him.

Mori Kogoro has Conan, and he also has a system...

Gao Cheng glanced at Conan who was pretending to be a child. As long as he worked hard, it might not be impossible to solve the case before Conan.

...

The office in Tsuenying Island Village, after Gao Cheng got off the ship, he went here with Conan and his party to find the information of the client, Keiji Aso.

The entrustment letters sent to him and Mori Kogoro were all pasted with paper-cut characters, which said: The next full moon night, on Moon Shadow Island, shadows will start to disappear, please come and investigate...

It's just that apart from the postmark of Moon Shadow Island on it, there is no extra information.

"Ma, Keiji Aso?!"

The director of the office looked at Gao Cheng and the others in horror: "No, this is impossible! Because he died more than ten years ago!"

"what?!"

"He was born on the island, and he used to be a famous pianist," the director said with a shocked expression, "but on the night of the full moon twelve years ago, he returned to his hometown after many years to hold a piano concert in the village public hall." The recital, after the recital, I don’t know why I suddenly closed my house with my family and set a big fire..."

Under Mao Lilan's trembling eyes, the director said in a deep voice: "It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and he seemed to be entangled by something in the raging flames.

Playing the piano continuously is Beethoven's piano sonata, "Moonlight"! "

"But what's the matter with this entrustment letter?" Gao Cheng frowned and took out the entrustment letter, "It is indeed stamped with the postmark of Moon Shadow Island, and the entrustment fee has been paid in full, so it must not be someone playing a prank?"

"I think it must be someone in your village who faked it?" Mori Kogoro grabbed the director unwillingly and said, "Who would do that?"

"Well," the director took a step back subconsciously, "you can ask the village chief, he is over there at the public hall now."

"Okay, let's go there now!" Mori Kogoro glanced at Gao Cheng from the corner of his eye, asked the location of the public hall energetically and left.

Gao Cheng didn't follow immediately, but asked the staff, "Is there anyone named Narumi Asai on the island?"

"Oh, you mean Doctor Chengshi, she should be in the clinic over there now."

"thanks."

Moon Shadow Island Clinic, when Gao Cheng came to find him, Conan and his party followed, as if they happened to be on the way to the public hall.

At this time, Narumi Asai happened to be sending a child away at the gate of the clinic. It was Gaocheng who was looking for her (him). Kogoro Mori suddenly couldn't move his feet when he saw Naomi Asai.

"Is it Doctor Chengshi?" Gao Cheng looked at the doctor who looked like a pretty girl, and asked hesitantly.

"Ah, it's me." Asai Chengshi had long hair tied up and wore a slender white coat. "What do you want?"

Before Gao Cheng could reply, Mori Kogoro had already rushed to the front and said, "That's right, we actually received a letter of entrustment from Keiji Aso..."

"Aso Keiji?" Asai Narumi showed surprise on his face.

"That's right," Gao Cheng didn't mean to argue with Mori Kogoro, but he still explained, "But the office said that Kei Aso had died more than 20 years ago, so I wondered who would pretend to be him to find Let's come."

"I'm not too sure, because I only came to this island a few years ago." Asai Chengshi shook his head, looked at Gao Cheng and the others curiously, "Are you from other places?"

Mao Lilan nodded and said, "Well, we are from Tokyo..."

"Really? I'm also from Tokyo!" Asai Chengshi said happily, "This island is different from Tokyo, isn't it great? Not only is the air fresh, but it's also very quiet..."

"Duddu—!" Just as he said that, a promotional vehicle passed by, and the loud horn sounded continuously: Qingshui, Shimizu Masato... Please vote for Shimizu Masato!

Asai Chengshi was embarrassed for a moment, and smiled embarrassedly: "But this is an exception, because the village election will be held soon..."

"Village head election?"

Only then did Kogoro Maoli think about the business, and hurriedly said: "We just want to ask the village chief."

"Are you going to the public hall?" Asai Narumi reminded, "Tonight there will be a ceremony for the second anniversary of the death of the former village head Mr. Kameyama. You may gain something by asking there."

Gao Cheng was a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could get some useful information from the only person he remembered.

Following Mori Kogoro to find the community hall, there were still many villagers protesting against the current village chief at the door. Mori Kogoro explained his intentions to the village secretary and waited outside the meeting room.

But Gao Cheng didn't stay with this guy, but took advantage of this gap to look around.

Conan and the others haven't realized the significance of the entrustment letter, but he is different.

Whether it was the Yueying Island murder incident released by the system, or his own vague memory, he knew that the island would not be peaceful in the future, and the person who sent the entrustment letter had obviously noticed it...

Just why hide your head and show your tail? Is there any reason why you can't reveal your identity?

Gao Cheng no longer has any expectations of finding out the real identity of the client, and the most important thing now is to investigate possible events on the island.

The cause of the incident seems very likely to be related to the death of Keiji Aso more than ten years ago...

Gao Cheng gently pushed open a door at the end of the corridor, only to find a black piano in a large room.

Speaking of piano, he recently got two piano knowledge cards, but he hasn't had time to try them out yet.

Gao Cheng itched to lift the key cover, and with the experience in his mind, he put his fingers on the keys instinctively. He should have never learned it before, but now he played it smoothly as if blessed by God.

"Eh?" Conan followed behind, looking at Gao Cheng who was auditioning in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to play the piano."

Gao Cheng came back to his senses, snorted and said, "It's too much that you didn't expect, but I will become the world's number one detective."

Conan was speechless: Is it too early to say such things now?

"You guys!" Hearing the sound of the piano, the secretary of the village chief rushed into the room and shouted anxiously, "Don't touch that piano!"

"Ah?" Gao Cheng was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"That's the cursed piano that Mr. Aso used in the concert he held on the night of his suicide!!" Hirata looked terrified.

"Curse, curse?" Mao Lilan just followed into the piano room, trembling when he heard such words.

"That's right," Hirata shyly pushed Gao Cheng and Conan out of the room, "Not only Mr. Aso...even the former village chief..."

"The former village head?" Gao Cheng looked at Hirata who was in a cold sweat and asked curiously, "Is it the former village head Isamu Kameyama who performed the ceremony today?"

Hirata closed the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained in a low voice: "It happened two years ago, and it was also the night of the full moon. There was the sound of someone playing the piano, and when I asked who was inside, the sound stopped immediately...

"When I got inside," Hirata said with a horrified expression, "Mr. Kameyama fell on the piano. The cause of death was a heart attack. The song he played until he died was Mr. Aso's death in the flames. That moonlight sonata that keeps playing!"

Mao Lilan's teeth chattered, completely immersed in the atmosphere of terror: "C-Could it be Mr. Aso's ghost?"

Gao Cheng pouted.

In the world of detectives like Conan, there is nothing more reliable than ghosts...

"Anyway," Hirata regained his composure, and warned, "You guys should go out and wait before the ceremony is over, and don't touch this cursed piano again!"

Outside the public hall, the full moon has appeared in the night sky. It looks very calm, but there is a strange atmosphere for some reason.

"Really," Mori Kogoro stubbed out his cigarette angrily, and complained to Gao Cheng, "It's all because you mess with other people's things, even I was kicked out!"

"Who knew that guy's reaction would be so big?"

Gao Cheng was leaning against the door, and suddenly saw Narumi Asai in black, walking towards the public hall with a middle-aged man.

"what?"

"Are you still there?" Asai Chengshi asked unexpectedly, "Have you seen the village chief?"

"Not yet," Mori Kogoro also had a lot of complaints about the village that left him alone, "It seems that I don't know when we will wait..."

"Miss Chengshi," Mao Lilan ignored Kogoro's complaints and asked, "Are you also here to attend the ceremony?"

"That's right," Cheng Shi said with a smile, "because when I came to this island, the first autopsy was done by Mr. Guishan, so I wanted to come here to burn incense and worship."

Speaking of Chengshi, he introduced the middle-aged man beside him and said, "By the way, this is Mr. Shimizu."

"Hello, I'm Masato Shimizu, please give me your advice." The middle-aged man greeted him kindly, with a square face and a friendly smile.

Gao Cheng took a look: It was the candidate for village chief that the publicity van had been shouting about before. He looked pretty good on the surface, but this kind of person couldn't be a murderer, could he?

The battle for the village head on Moon Shadow Island seems to be very fierce, and now it's time for the village head election, maybe someone has murderous intentions, and coincidentally, the village head died two years ago.

"See you later."

Narumi Asai and Masato Shimizu entered the ceremony venue together, and Gao Cheng and his party had to sit down at the door and wait for the ceremony to end.
