Ke Xue: I was raised by them in Mihua.

This was to make it easier for Miwako, who was hiding in the shadows, to act.

No one would doubt a woman who looks delicate and gentle, especially one who has a little boy with her!

In addition, once sufficient evidence is found, Inspector Megure will lead the others to the island by helicopter and speedboat as soon as possible.

"What an easy task!"

Although it seemed to involve some danger, the task was quite simple for Luo Tian.

According to his original memories, he only needed to find the village chief and a few others on Moonshadow Island, and then use some tricks to obtain the evidence.

It can basically be considered a trip for two with the policewoman!

This made him even happier!

However, the next second, the two figures he caught a glimpse of out of the corner of his eye made his face darken.

"Tsk, it's that persistent ghost again!"

Luo Tian never expected to run into a big black rat like this.

"What are you muttering about, Xiao Luo?"

Miwako heard the little boy's voice and asked curiously, then followed his gaze.

Two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the deck not far away.

She recognized the two men as Kogoro Mouri, Ran's father, and Shinichi Kudo, the jerk they were talking about.

No, he should be called Conan Edogawa now.

"Want to go say hello?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we get to the island."

Luo Tian shrank back into the policewoman's arms, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He originally planned to meet the cross-dressing master and then finish the task as soon as possible to go home.

But now that the big black rat has delivered itself to our doorstep, it seems unreasonable not to take advantage of it!

While searching through the system space, he also conceived a new plan!

……

The passenger ship was quite fast, and it didn't take long for it to reach its destination.

"What?! There's no such person as Keiji Aso?!"

Inside the village office on Tsukikage Island, Kogoro Mori slammed his fist on the counter and shouted loudly.

"Uh, I'm sorry, I really can't find this person. Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

A young staff member searched on the computer with some distress, then gave an innocent look.

This made Kogoro Mouri even angrier!

"Did you look carefully? He sent me a letter a week ago!"

He pulled an envelope from his pocket, proving that the problem was not with him.

"But this name isn't on the island's resident register!"

The staff also felt somewhat helpless.

Although Moonshadow Island is large, there is only one village on the island, with a total of about a hundred residents scattered throughout.

He's been here for years and has never heard of anyone with the surname Aso!

"What happened?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader walked over and asked the staff.

"Director! This gentleman said he's looking for someone named Keiji Aso, but I can't find his information in the resident register!"

"What?! Keiji Aso?!"

Upon hearing the name, the bespectacled director immediately screamed, his face filled with terror.

It's as if you're telling others that there's a big secret behind this name!

has a problem!

Following behind Kogoro Mouri, Conan's expression changed, and he immediately pricked up his ears, his glasses reflecting a faint light as he stared intently at the director.

"Any questions?"

Kogoro Mouri asked, frowning.

If he hadn't accidentally damaged his car a couple of days ago and used up the commission fee while getting it repaired, he wouldn't have thought of traveling this far to complete this commission.

"Impossible! Keiji Aso died twelve years ago!"

The bespectacled director's voice was quite loud, and everyone else in the village office heard it clearly.

A person who has been dead for many years suddenly writes a letter asking others to come find him?!

They suddenly felt a chill behind them, and even the sunlight outside the window seemed much colder.

"No, it won't, right?"

Even Miwako was so frightened that she tightened her arms and hugged the little boy in her arms even tighter.

Although she wasn't afraid of criminals, she still found it hard to accept such a bizarre situation.

"Calm down, it's obvious that's impossible."

Luo Tian patted the policewoman's chest helplessly; he was almost out of breath!

"It's nothing more than someone wanting to use Keiji Aso's name to hire a detective to investigate certain matters, which might actually make things easier for us."

"You mean, this might be related to drug trafficking?"

Returning to her area of ​​expertise, Miwako immediately cheered up.

If you say that, she won't be afraid anymore!

Chapter 193 A cross-dressing master makes his debut, and Conan falls in love at first sight (Third update)

Under Kogoro Mouri's persistent questioning, the bespectacled manager revealed the story of Keiji Aso's past.

In order not to disturb other tourists at the village office, they specifically came to the open space outside.

Even though he was standing in the bright sunshine, Kogoro Mouri felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, and a chill ran down his spine.

What kind of weird request did I just accept?!

"They paid the commission fee but refused to reveal their true identity. It's really baffling!"

After a while, he felt the chill in his heart subside considerably, and he stared at the envelope, lost in thought.

"Could it be a prank?"

"Uncle, surely no one would play a prank with 500,000 yuan, right?"

As a staunch materialist, Conan doesn't believe in ghosts or gods.

He just wants to find out the truth!

Unfortunately, the simp Hattori Heiji went back to his hometown, and it was clearly impossible for him to do it alone.

Therefore, he must dispel the cowardice of the useless uncle and make him stay on the island!

"That's right!"

When money was mentioned, Kogoro Mouri's expression became noticeably more determined.

He still has some pride; he's already spent all the commission fees, and it would be too embarrassing for him to leave without getting things sorted out!

Since we have no clue, let's ask people one by one!

He refused to believe that they couldn't find any information at all!

Upon leaving the village office, the two, one adult and one child, immediately began their investigation.

Along the way, Kogoro Mouri was full of energy and asked almost everyone he saw.

Do you know Keiji Aso?

Do you know where Keiji Aso lives?

Do you know if Keiji Aso has any relatives?

Unfortunately, the young people looked blank and knew nothing about Keiji Aso when they heard his name.

The elderly people, however, seemed to have seen a ghost and ran away as fast as they could, let alone answer.

"Strange, why are these people acting like this?"

Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, looking completely bewildered.

He wasn't like this when he was investigating cases in Beika Town!

This left Conan speechless, and he could only chuckle.

The director of Mingming Village Office has already recounted most of what happened back then, so what's the point of asking some passersby now?

Shouldn't they have gone to the village chief, or gone directly to the community center where the incident occurred?

"Miss, have you ever heard of the name Keiji Aso?"

Just as he was about to give a heads-up, Kogoro Mouri approached another passerby.

Judging from her clothing and the sign behind her, it's easy to tell that she is a female doctor.

She looked to be around twenty-five years old. Underneath her white lab coat was a blue shirt, and her black skirt and white stockings were a perfect match. Her voice was also rather androgynous.

With just one glance, Conan felt a jolt in his heart, and a strange feeling welled up inside him.

He had never felt this intense emotion even when he was with his childhood sweetheart.

Is this what people call love at first sight?!

This feeling was just... Clutching his chest, Conan felt his whole body burning up, and he almost couldn't help but wonder if he was about to grow bigger again!

Meanwhile, in front of a snack shop on the street corner, the faint light from Luo Tian's fingertips dissipated. Looking at the big black rat with its face flushed red, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Sure enough! I was just too kind!

He effortlessly brought about a marriage; he's practically the reincarnation of the God of Love!

"Xiao Luo, what's wrong?"

Miwako placed a box of takoyaki in front of the little boy, and looking at his smile, she felt something was off.

Why does it sound like you just played a prank on someone?

"It's nothing, I just feel like Uncle Mori might be close to the truth."

Luo Tian skewered a takoyaki, blew on it to cool it down, and put it into the policewoman's mouth, explaining with a smile.

The "Love at First Sight Card"—I hope it works even better!

He had already seen the cross-dressing master before. Under the effect of the [True Eye], Asahi was completely a delicate little boy in front of him.

Compared to Hattori Heiji, who is a black chicken, this is a much better match for the big black rat.

Of course, with his kind heart, he wouldn't let this marriage succeed so easily!

Since in the original timeline, Asano is indeed a source of eternal pain for Conan.

He definitely needs to make a replica!

……

"Ah!"

Heiji Hattori, far away in Osaka, suddenly sneezed, and a feeling of unease rose up for no reason.

It felt like something important was about to leave me.

It makes no sense!

If he dares to go home and face his parents, what could possibly separate him from Conan?!

"Heiji! I'm talking to you! Pay attention!"

Sitting upright in front of his eldest son, Hattori Heizo's already dark face became even darker.
