I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 57 I am your father's friend (Part 2)
After teasing Conan, Shiraishi Hui was very happy to see the other party's expression, which looked itchy but helpless.

He looked at Maori Kogoro who was standing beside him and asked, "Uncle Maori, have you found out what's going on?"

"I found out... but it's not good news." Maori Kogoro sat down on the beach cloth and said depressedly: "That Aso Keiji set himself on fire 12 years ago... It seems that someone wants to entrust me to investigate the real cause of his death."

"He's been dead for 12 years. How can we investigate this?"

As he spoke, he exhaled a puff of white smoke with melancholy, not knowing how to investigate next.

"Then... why don't we just give up? Return the commission fee?" Xiaolan also felt that it would be difficult to find out since so much time had passed.

Kogoro Mouri was obviously a little discouraged and didn't want to investigate any further. This case was too difficult for him.

"Give up just when you first started?" Shiraishi E looked at Mori Kogoro speechlessly, without any resilience at all.

He didn't want the other party to go home like this.

If I don't leave with him, it will become suspicious.

So Shiraishi Hui took the initiative to offer advice: "First investigate Aso Keiji's interpersonal relationships. Since he lives on the island, he must have a lot of friends. Maybe we can find out some useful information."

"Brother Shiraishi is right. We can start investigating their interpersonal relationships." Conan didn't want to go back just like that.

He realized that there must be something hidden in this case, otherwise it would be impossible that 12 years later, there would still be people willing to spend money to commission an investigation into this old affair!

Conan prefers these challenging cases to those without difficulty, because he can get a stronger sense of accomplishment after solving them!
"That's right, then let's find someone who knows Keiji Aso first!" When Kogoro Mori saw that he still had some ideas, he temporarily gave up the idea of leaving!

The reward for this commission is not low, and he doesn't want to give it up if possible!
"Then we won't disturb you from working." Seeing that Mao Li had given up, Shiraishi stood up and said to Xiaolan, "Let's go, let's not waste time... It's not cheap to rent a jet ski for an hour."

"I'm coming~~~~" Xiaolan followed happily. As she ran, she turned back and said to Maori and Conan: "Dad, Conan! You should work harder!!"

Seeing the two of them getting on the jet ski one after the other, and Xiaolan even hugging Shiraishi's waist, Conan became jealous and rushed forward to get between the two of them! !
However, Kogoro Mori grabbed him!
"Uncle Maori! I want to play too! I have never played in my life!!" Conan begged repeatedly.

"What are you going to play while you're working? Let's talk about it after work!" Kogoro Mouri looked at Shiraishi E and Xiaolan, riding a jet ski on the sea, his eyes full of envy.

He wants to play too!
"…………" Conan struggled again and again, but when he saw it was useless, he had to give up.

Watching the two figures disappear in the vast ocean, he felt very complicated, especially when he saw Xiaolan's smile, which made him feel full of crisis!
He swore that if he turned back into Kudo Shinichi, he would confess to Xiaolan as soon as possible!
Let’s confirm the relationship first!

After a short rest, Kogoro Mouri continued to go to the island with Conan to look for Keiji Aso's old friends.

At seven o'clock in the evening.

Shiraishi E and Ran meet up with Mouri Conan at the restaurant.

While having dinner, Shiraishi E asked about the progress of the investigation.

Maori Kogoro said: "Aso Keiji is an internationally renowned pianist who often goes on tours overseas. He doesn't often stay in small towns, so not many people know him."

"But he is friends with the village chief, so I thought about visiting him later."

"It will probably be quite late by the time I'm done with this, so I plan to stay on the island tonight!"

"Xiao Lan, Bai Shi, you should go back by boat first!"

Shiraishi Hui said naturally: "I will sleep in Tokyo, so I might as well sleep here... I can get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise over the sea!"

"Then I also want to watch the sunrise over the sea!!" Xiaolan saw that everyone stayed, and of course she didn't want to go back alone.

Besides, she really wanted to see the sunrise over the sea; that scene must be beautiful!

The only pity is that I didn’t bring any change of clothes, but that’s not a big deal.

The hotel will provide pajamas. When you take a shower, you can take off your clothes, wash them, and hang them out to dry, so you can wear them tomorrow!

Seeing that the two were reluctant to leave, Maori Kogoro did not say much. After dinner, everyone went to find a hotel to stay in. They booked three rooms, Maori Kogoro and Conan in one room, and Shiraishi E and Xiaolan in a separate room.

"I've been playing all day, I'm a little tired." Shiraishi Hui showed a tired look and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise over the sea... I'll take a shower and go to bed. See you tomorrow."

"Mr. Shiraishi, remember to call me when you get up tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise over the sea!" Xiaolan reminded quickly.

"Okay!" Shiraishi Hui nodded, waved goodbye to everyone, and went back to the room.

When the door clicked shut, the tiredness on his face disappeared completely.

Enough of the fun, it’s time to get down to business.

————————————————————————————

There is no nightlife on the island. After nine o'clock, there are few people walking around on the island.

Only a few street lamps illuminated the road at night.

Shiraishi Hui put on A-Zu's mask and transformed herself into a gangster. She avoided the light sources and went to the beach to meet Mingmei.

After reuniting with Mingmei, he discovered that she was wearing a fox mask.

This made him feel very relieved - she finally realized to cover her face, which was a very good progress.

"Mr. Zu, I have roughly figured out the general situation of this island." Mingmei couldn't wait to show the fruits of her labor as soon as she came up!
"Talk while we walk." Shiraishi Hui motioned Mingmei to follow her.

Mingmei reported the general situation of Yueying Island as they walked.

After walking for a while, she found Mr. Azu stopped at the Asai Clinic.

Clinics on the island tend to open late, so the lights in Asai Clinic are still on at this moment.

"Mr. Azu, what are we doing here?" Mingmei felt very strange. She knew that there was a doctor named Asai living here. She was very pretty and had a good personality.

"Look for someone to help." Shiraishi Hui said as she pushed the door open and walked in.

The door hit the hanging bell and made a tinkling sound.

This would remind Asai Narumi that a patient had arrived.

She came out of the office and said, "Good evening, may I ask what... um?"

After Asai Narumi walked out of the office, she stopped and looked at the two masked men and women in astonishment.

Especially the man with the red mask covering half of his face, who often appeared in the news some time ago!
This made her heart skip a beat, and she didn't understand why the fierce bandit A-Zu would appear on Yueying Island.

"Ma Cheng Shi, do you want to avenge your father?" Shiraishi Hui had no interest in playing guessing games, so he threw a trump card as soon as they met.

This immediately made Asai Narumi's head buzz. He was stunned for a moment, and his mind was full of thoughts: "How does he know my real identity?"

Is hemp grown?

Mingmei was also confused when she heard the name. Wasn't this female doctor called Asai Narimi? Did Mr. Azu remember the name wrong?
Then she noticed that Asai Narimi's expression was wrong and immediately realized that there was something behind it!
Without waiting for her to digest the information, Bai Shihui continued, "I am your father's friend... I came back this time to avenge him."

Revenge? Aren't we here to target the drug cartels?
Mingmei had a lot of questions in her head, but she had no way of asking them, so she could only suppress her curiosity and continue listening.

"You...you know my father?" Asai Chengmi was shocked and said with some disbelief.

"Well, we met abroad... Come to think of it, we met before. You were still this young at that time." Shiraishi casually measured the height with her knees and said, "Your sister wasn't born yet."

"!!!!" After hearing this, Asai Narumi began to believe it a little.

She had a lot of questions to ask, but she held them back and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go upstairs... please."
