Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 115 Moonlight Sonata (This chapter is full of water)

Yueying Island Civil Affairs Department.

After Kogoro Maori reported the name "Aso Keiji" to the office staff, the other party searched for a long time but could not find this name in the local resident list.

"Sir, could you be mistaken?"

The office staff was a bit embarrassed.

But Maori Kogoro's face turned ugly - there was no such person among the residents, which meant...

This Keiji Aso might really be the ghost of the pianist who died twelve years ago.

"Look carefully at the list of former residents! There must be a pianist named Keiji Aso, right?"

Kogoro Mori's loud voice almost covered the entire Civil Affairs Department.

The originally harmonious atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence...

Then, there were waves of whispers from the crowd...

The commotion here attracted the attention of the supervisor.

"May I ask what brings you here?"

Maori Kogoro directly showed the letter of authorization, his face serious: "This letter was sent to me by a man named Keiji Aso, but after our investigation, we found that this man should have died twelve years ago... Is there really no other person named Keiji Aso here?"

The manager was sweating coldly and his pupils were shaking like a ten-magnitude earthquake. "A...Aso Keiji?!"

His reaction was seen by Kogoro Mouri, Rei, and Conan.

"Don't be nervous~" Lie came up and patted the other person, "If you know anything, you can tell us. After all, the person next to me is also a detective~"

"You, you are a detective!"

The supervisor seemed a little surprised. "Then I will obey your orders..."

Kogoro Maori was flattered by Reiichi and suddenly felt a little proud.

But to be honest, he himself didn't know why this person pretending to be Keiji Aso came to him for a commission...

After all, it seems that he has only been involved in two cases recently. One was helping the chairman find his daughter, and the other was the man who committed suicide in Okino Yoko...

It was just that the police pinned the blame on him in the latter case, because it was the two kids who actually solved the case...

There was also a later case involving an Italian gang, in which Conan and Hiroki were the main forces, with Rei as the main fighter. In the end, all the credit was given to Kogoro Mouri.

Kogoro Mori was very melancholy.

He became famous, but... he felt so unfulfilled.

……

"…You mean, Mr. Aso locked himself in the house and set it on fire, burning himself and his wife and daughter to death?"

Kogoro Maori looked like he was kidding me.

Doesn't this sound like a mental issue?

"Yes... And, until his death, Mr. Aso seemed to be haunted by something and kept playing a piece of music... I remember it was called Moonlight Sonata."

……

After coming out of the Civil Affairs Department, several people sat outside to continue studying the power of attorney.

"This, shouldn't be a prank..." Kogoro Mouri suddenly became a little suspicious.

"Not really. After all, I've already transferred the commission money to uncle." Conan replied cutely.

"That's right..." Kogoro Mouri became distressed again.

Lie smiled and said, "Could it be the same as what Conan said? The other party actually wants to use this method to investigate the suspicious points of Aso Keiji's death?"

Rei's words caught Maori Kogoro's attention. "If that's the case... maybe someone who was close to Aso Keiji at the time knows something."

Kogoro Maori supported his chin, thinking.

Mao Lilan also chimed in, "Didn't that person just now say that the village chief has a good relationship with Mr. Aso? Why don't we go ask him? Maybe he is the one who sent the commission."

"Okay! Then let's go find the village chief... um, I remember, the village chief is really... the community center."

……

Moon Shadow Island Clinic.

A woman in a white coat and a ponytail just watched a little patient leave.

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the clinic, she was suddenly stopped by someone:

"Excuse me! Do you know how to get to the community center?"

"...Ah? Go this way, turn at that corner and keep going straight."

"Okay, thank you very much!"

It was Ran Maori who called out to this woman.

However, when Mao Lilan thanked her and wanted to leave, the woman in the white coat looked hesitantly at Sawada Hiroki who had been reading a novel and Retsu with white hair, and called out to them: "Um, are you from Tokyo?"

Mao Lilan turned around in surprise, "Huh? Yes, I just came here by boat."

“I was born in Tokyo, too!”

The woman in the white coat looked very happy. "This island is completely different from Tokyo, right? The air is fresh and it's very peaceful..."

'Shimizu! Shimizu Masato! Please vote for Shimizu Masato!'

As they were saying this, a van loaded with horns just happened to whiz past the crowd.

The woman in the white coat smiled awkwardly: "Well... the one just now was an exception? After all, the election for village chief is about to be held."

"Village head election?"

Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri and Conan all pricked up their ears curiously.

But at this moment, Lie suddenly interrupted: "Well, Miss~ He and I are not from Tokyo."

Retsu pointed at Hiroki.

Woman in white coat: “…” Your reaction time seems a bit long.

"And? What is this election that this lady is talking about?"

Seeing that the situation seemed a little awkward, Lie smiled and made amends.

"Well... there are three people running for village chief this time. One is the fisherman representative Shimizu Masato, the current village chief Kuroiwa whose evaluation has recently declined, and the largest asset, Mr. Kawashima." The woman in the white coat pinched her chin and analyzed to herself, actually revealing a large part of the island's information, "According to the opinions of the patients, they all prefer to vote for Mr. Kawashima..."

Before she could finish, Maori Kogoro felt a little overwhelmed, "Okay, okay... Miss nurse, we have no interest in the election here..."

"I'm the doctor here, Asai Narimi, and I have a formal medical license." The woman in the white coat...or rather, Asai Makotoshi said with a smile.

Maori Kogoro was stunned: "Ah? It's a doctor..."

Asai Narimi didn't care that Maori Kogoro mistook her profession, but the gaze of the white-haired man next to her made her feel a little stressed. However, she continued, "If you go to the community center, you may meet the three people I mentioned..."

"Eh?"

"Because today, a ceremony will be held there to commemorate the third anniversary of the succession of the previous village chief, Mr. Kameyama." Asai Narimi kept smiling.

But the palms of her hands in her pockets were already sweating.

Why is this white-haired man staring at his chest!
