Detective Conan: The Ultimate Growth Space

During their conversation, Kogoro Mouri mentioned that he had received a strange request, and the person who sent the letter was a man named Keiji Aso.

The letter read: "At the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moonshadow Island. Please investigate the cause."

The entire letter was pieced together from words cut out of newspapers.

Later, the client even called using a voice changer, making the client seem mysterious and highly suspicious.

That's why Kogoro Mouri isn't going to accept this request.

To his surprise, the client didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Before Kogoro Mouri even agreed, the other party had already transferred the entire commission fee into the agency's account.

This left Kogoro Mouri quite helpless. He wanted to return the money, but he didn't know who to return it to, so he had no choice but to accept the request.

After listening to what Kogoro Mouri said.

Zhiyong immediately recalled the murder on Moonshadow Island.

This case deeply shocked and moved Zhi Yong.

The murderer, Makoto Asai, whose real name is Makoto Aso, is a doctor disguised as a woman on Tsukikage Island.

Makoto Aso's father, Keiji Aso, was a famous pianist who frequently performed abroad.

Their family is very happy.

But at this time, an unfortunate thing happened in the family.

Makoto Aso has fallen seriously ill.

Although Keiji Aso has saved up a lot of money by performing abroad over the years.

But for Makoto Aso's illness, his money was just a drop in the bucket.

Keiji Aso was born on Tsukikage Island.

He had four friends: Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Hideo Kawashima, Ken Nishimoto, and Isamu Kameyama.

All four of them are very rich.

Therefore, Keiji Aso approached them, wanting to borrow money from them.

The money they made came from smuggling and drug trafficking.

In fact, they had wanted to approach Keiji Aso for a long time.

They wanted Keiji Aso to use his piano to smuggle drugs back from abroad for them when he went on tour.

At that time, Keiji Aso's family was happy and had plenty of money, so they wanted to keep their secret from being exposed.

That's why I didn't go to see Keiji Aso.

This time, Keiji Aso has come to their doorstep, how could they let him go?

……

Chapter 131 The Request from Moonshadow Island

Parental love is great.

In order to have money to treat his son.

Keiji Aso was willing to take the plunge and agreed to cooperate with the four.

As Makoto Aso's health improved.

Therefore, Keiji Aso no longer wanted to continue.

After all, drug smuggling caused him immense distress.

Now my son is almost fully recovered.

Keiji Aso earned enough money from his performances to pay for his son's medical treatment.

Therefore, Keiji Aso did not want to become a tool for the four of them to smuggle drugs again, so he refused to continue cooperating with them.

But Keiji Aso never expected that these four people would be so ruthless.

Fearing that their drug smuggling activities would be exposed, they locked up Keiji Aso's family in their home and then set it on fire, killing them all.

The four of them originally thought they had killed Keiji Aso and his entire family.

Unfortunately, they didn't know.

Keiji Aso didn't borrow money to save his daughter.

Because his son was staying in the hospital, Keiji Aso did not bring him back to Tsukikage Island.

This is precisely why Makoto Aso escaped being killed.

After Makoto Aso's parents passed away, he was adopted and later changed his name to Makoto Asai.

Makoto Aso has always suspected the cause of his family's deaths.

After graduating from medical school.

To investigate the truth behind the family's deaths, he disguised himself as a woman and went to Moonshadow Island to conduct his investigation.

When the village chief, Kameyama Isamu, learned that Aso Makoto was the son of Aso Keiji.

Panic and fear led to a heart attack, and he died in the piano room of the community center.

Makoto Aso finally figured out the truth of what happened back then, and learned that his family had been murdered.

This made Makoto Aso very sad and angry.

He also harbored murderous intent towards Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, and Nishimoto Ken.

In order to avenge his family, Makoto Aso devised a murder plan.

At the second anniversary memorial service for Kameyama Isamu, he killed all the murderers who had participated in the killing of his family members.

He eventually committed suicide by self-immolation.

Makoto Aso's letter of authorization was a murder warning.

He also hoped that someone would see through his actions and step in to stop him.

This may be the helpless struggle within his kind heart.

In the world of Detective Conan, there are many unfortunate cases that are truly regrettable.

It can only be said that the law is too imperfect, causing good people to suffer and failing to give bad people the appropriate punishment.

Just like Director Ochiai, he was transformed from a knight into a demon.

And then there's Makoto Aso, who is indeed one of the characters in the Conan world that Chiyo and Yuu sympathize with the most.

This case seems to be the one that Conan regrets the most.

Conan's regret is not only that he couldn't save Makoto, but also that he couldn't investigate the cause from the beginning and prevent this tragedy from happening.

In Zhiyong's mind, if Conan hadn't been so cocky and had just revealed who the culprit was, allowing the police to apprehend him, then Honesty wouldn't have had the chance to commit suicide.

It was this experience that made Conan realize the truth.

A detective uses reasoning to corner a criminal, then stands idly by and watches them commit suicide. How is that any different from being a murderer?

Zhiyong is currently facing a dilemma.

This time, will he not stop Makoto Aso from committing the crime and let Makoto Aso kill those people, or will he stop Makoto Aso from committing the crime and try to bring those people to justice?

If left to happen naturally, Makoto Aso will kill those people and then collect a few ghosts.

Kuroiwa Tatsuji, Kawashima Hideo, Nishimoto Ken, and Kameyama Isamu were all incredibly ruthless, and their deaths were well-deserved.

Zhiyong felt no sadness at their deaths.

Zhiyong doesn't think, like Conan, that driving a criminal to death is a sin.

After a moment's thought, a decision was made.

In the incident involving Director Ochiai, Tomoyuki was very hesitant from the beginning.

Although Zhiyong was reborn after transmigrating and gained a cheat system, he was still just a poor loser in his previous life.

Even when faced with a murder case, Zhiyong still felt some fear.

Finally, he overcame the psychological pressure and helped Director Ochiai cover up the truth and destroy the evidence.

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.

But when saying such things, have you ever thought about why the victim is so late in seeking justice?

When the knight was driven to desperation, he transformed into a demon, but justice just happened to arrive.

Doesn't this kind of thing sometimes seem strange?

Is Heaven punishing the wicked from the past, or the knights who have changed?

If Miwako had not pursued further education.

Zhiyong will involve Miwako to eliminate this case before it even happens.

However, Miwako is no longer in the island nation.

Zhi Yong decided to let the matter take its natural course.

Anyway, those who died weren't good people either.

Makoto Aso went to great lengths to seek revenge, even hiding his identity and disguising himself as a woman. This was no easy feat.

“In that case, Uncle Mori, let’s go check it out. If it doesn’t work out, we can treat it as a trip,” Zhiyong said.

“Dad, Sato is right. It’s just in time for the weekend, so we can take this opportunity to enjoy a leisurely two days on the islands of the Izu Islands.”

Ran was feeling quite down after being stood up by Shinichi Kudo. Hearing that they were going to Moonshadow Island, she wanted to go out and clear her head, so she asked.

"Young people your age, all you know is how to have fun. Besides, what's so fun about that godforsaken island?" Kogoro Mouri said helplessly.

The day the client had mentioned arrived.

Early in the morning, Kogoro Mouri and his group boarded the passenger ship.

The fog was thick at sea in the morning, and the passenger ship weaved through the fog toward Moon Shadow Island.
