The cruise ship from Osaka to Tsukikage Island took six hours on the sea, and the temperature dropped sharply as it approached the Tokyo area.

From an environment with an average temperature of 20 degrees to an environment with an average temperature of only 5 degrees, coupled with low temperatures at night, humid sea surface, strong sea breeze, etc.

Standing at the port at three o'clock in the morning, I was wearing a thin windproof jacket, and because of the sea breeze blowing water vapor, my clothes got damp and stuck to my body.

The feeling is no different from soaking in sea water.

The wind blows colder and colder, and my hands and feet feel cold.

"Why is it so cold in Tokyo!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but sneeze, cursed, and tightened his body to resist the cold wind. He didn't bring a flashlight when he went out, so he could only rely on a little light to see the road to the port clearly.

I thought that many people on the ship would know about Moon Shadow Island, but after asking many times, only the crew knew about Moon Shadow Island and there was no other information.

The only people who disembarked were Kazuha and Shizuka Hattori. They checked the climate in Tokyo before coming and found out that the daily temperature was below zero, so they prepared cotton-padded jackets in advance.

The ferry tickets provided by Keiji Aso only had seats in the public lobby lounge area, and there were no single rooms. The three of them had not slept all night, and were exhausted and hungry.

Strong winds whipped up waves, which hit the harbor walls and stirred up water.

"Heiji, let's find a place to rest for a while."

Wrapped in a light blue cotton-padded jacket, Kazuye quickly walked forward and said to Heiji.

"It's simple. I'm looking for it, but there's no light at all here, and I don't see any houses... You know I'm here to handle the case, so don't follow me!"

One, two, women are really troublesome.

Heiji originally wanted to come alone, and the client sent a large sum of money. For a high school student without a job, this was his first income.

He said he was going on a date with He Ye, but it was just perfunctory. The real purpose was for work, and he used the reason for going on a date with He Ye to fool his mother, but in the end he didn't expect his mother to follow him.

"Heiji..."

Heye looked at his childhood sweetheart and wanted to say something but stopped.

Heiji's mother was nearby, and arguing with Heiji in this situation would only make things difficult for Heiji's mother.

"I'm not blaming you, don't worry. I asked the crew and found out that just down this road is the village. There is a guest house in the village, we can go there to rest...it's so cold!"

Another gust of sea breeze blew, bringing with it a chilly air.

"Damn it, why are you all wearing cotton-padded jackets?"

Heiji looked back at Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Shizuka. Both of them were protected by cotton-padded jackets to resist the cold wind.

I am wearing a thin windbreaker.

Hearing the complaints, Heye frowned.

"I prepared a suitcase for you Heiji before I left. There are cotton-padded jackets in it."

Every time there is preparation, toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, change of clothes.

But when he went out, Heiji felt that the suitcase was too troublesome. He thought that the client must be a wealthy boss if he gave a large sum of money at once.

Especially if you hire a famous detective like yourself, the other party will definitely arrange everything. You don't need to bring a suitcase at all. When you get to the place, you will be picked up in a luxury car, served by a beautiful girl with cigars, and a dedicated assistant will follow you around the clock.

The most important thing is that such an assistant is better-looking than He Ye, more beautiful than He Ye, and more charming than He Ye. When handling cases, he can put forward constructive opinions and understand his own work needs.

So, just put the pants in your pocket. If you have to do something, you can take off your clothes, but you will definitely change your underwear when taking a shower.

"Really, I'm here to work. You know it's cold here and you won't help me carry my suitcase."

After saying that, Heiji jogged a few steps.

The reality is not as imagined.

Heiji knew that he had made mistakes, but he didn't want to admit that it was his fault, so he could only avoid these problems quickly.

In the distance, the firelight flickered, extremely conspicuous in the dark port.

A hundred steps away, I saw a young man playing with a barbecue grill over there. The smell of grilled fish blew in the wind, tempting his hungry stomach.

"He Ye, hurry up and follow. There's someone grilling fish over there. I'll treat you to grilled fish!"

He shouted behind him and without thinking much, Heiji took up his legs and ran over there.

Toyama Kazuha and Hattori Shizuka also saw the fire, but with suitcases in their hands, they couldn't run as casually as Heiji did. They could only walk step by step. They wanted to call out to Heiji, but the other party had already rushed to the position of the fire.

…

"Twenty-eight fishing boats, eight of which have a carrying capacity of 300 tons, and twenty of which have a carrying capacity of 100 tons, not counting the forty fast boats patrolling."

These fishing boats will not sail at all. They are all docked in the port area. You can clearly see traces of rust. It is estimated that no one has maintained the fishing boats for a long time.

Thinking about it the other way around, if anyone were to sit at home and spend four hours, they could earn hundreds or thousands of times as much money as fishing at sea. No one would go back to fishing.

Dangerous, boring, and full of problems.

I spent my life to replenish my funds, but in the end I didn’t have as much money as I could to make addictive drugs at home.

"Everyone wants to make quick money, but after making quick money, they can't stop. They think making money is too easy. They want to make more money and never know when they will be satisfied."

Mr. Gongsheng sighed, shaved off the scales of the fish with a kitchen knife, put it on the grill and put it on the grill.

The barbecue grill is placed in the back kitchen, and the tent next to it is also stored in the guest house. You can borrow it from the guest house as long as you tell us that you are going fishing at night.

There will also be a dedicated person to help drive you to the night fishing location.

Of course, the main purpose of these people was to monitor Kousheng. After staying at the beach for a while, they found out that Kousheng was just here to fish, so they left.

Another reason is that the temperature at night is too cold for these people to bear.

"Obviously this is an island that relies on fishing as its only productive force, but the fishermen are not even willing to go out to sea with fishing boats, giving up their means of livelihood and relying on this kind of quick money."

As you can imagine, when you have a lot of money, your first thought is to build a good house and buy a fishing boat of your own.

After doing this, the fishermen have no other needs. No matter how much money they have, it is just a number in the bank, and they are constantly deposited to fill the emptiness in their hearts.

There is no intention of moving away from the island, because everyone understands that the production of addictive drugs cannot be exposed, and they will face death once they leave Moon Shadow Island.

Moreover, this way of making quick money is so exciting that everyone can't stop, making it again and again, and enjoying the happiness of growing funds.

As for the fishing boats in front of me, they have been parked here since they were bought, and occasionally driven out just to complete the transaction.

Among these fishing boats, three have signs of going to sea. They cannot be trading in sea goods, but they are hiding drugs in sea goods and sending them to the Tokyo market.

After Gongsheng arrived here in the afternoon, he didn't take a moment to rest. He used the name of fishing to find out all the drug trading routes. The stench in the air was a clue.

But, there is not enough time.

There are also records behind the drug trade, the most important evidence, the funds involved in the drug trade, and where the firearms were obtained.

Moon Shadow Island is just a source.

"Okay, I should go back. I can rest for three hours before sunrise."

This time, the fishing association agreed to visit for three days. After discussing with the village chief of Heiyan, they got the agreement. They only asked that all personnel not enter or leave the village at will or move around at will.

Because the recent one-year death anniversary of the previous village chief is also the last date for the election of the new village chief, all personnel must abide by the rules of the island.

Gongsheng sprinkled the ingredients on the grilled fish and applied spicy sauce and garlic sauce. The garlic removed the fishy smell of the sea fish and stimulated the taste buds, while the chili pepper enhanced the taste and dispelled the coldness on the body.

The skin on the outside is already crispy, but there are still blood streaks on the inside. Kousei turned it several times to focus on the undercooked part inside.

There is also a stove next to the barbecue grill, holding a pot of seafood porridge.

"Ah, grilled fish paired with a mouthful of warm and mouth-watering seafood porridge, and there is a full moon in the sky, how pleasant it is!"

Feel the salty, umami, spicy, and garlic flavors rushing into your mouth at the same time, the crispy fish meat is bitten by your teeth, and the seafood porridge melts into your stomach like a warm current.

Gongsheng held a small bowl and slid the seafood porridge with his chopsticks. He could also find shrimps and crabs. After simple processing, he threw them into the porridge together with a few small fish and cooked them.

The crab meat is crunchy and crispy, the shrimp meat is soft, and the small fish will be separated from the bones with just one bite.

"Yeah, it's delicious."

In the distance, a beam of light suddenly shone, and a cruise ship docked at the port of Yueying Island, some distance away from where Kousheng was.

There were three people walking off the cruise ship, two of them were carrying suitcases. The black image was a woman, and the man walking in front blended into the night, making it difficult to see clearly for a while.

In the past three minutes, the dark-skinned man suddenly started to move and ran towards the direction of Kousheng.

As we get closer, the appearance gradually becomes clearer...

The African version of Kudo Shinichi appears in sight!

"Hattori Heiji, why is he here?"

Because we met each other during a school trip to the ski resort in junior high school, we have a memory of each other. After several years of not seeing each other, there is no change in the appearance of the other person.

Mr. Gongsheng frowned slightly.

It was impossible for Hattori Heiji to appear on Tsukikage Island for no reason, or at such a coincidental time. It could only be that Aso Minoru sent a letter to the other party, entrusting him to come to Tsukikage Island.

Kogoro was not famous, and Kudo Shinichi was deeply involved in a lawsuit. The only detective left to choose was Hattori Heiji from Osaka.

As for Aso, Kousei had already seen him. The other person was indeed a male, disguised as a female. Even his voice was forcibly concealed, and his Adam's apple seemed to have been removed, making it invisible from his appearance.

The other party is located at the only infirmary on the island, which is very close to the guest house. It is also the only place to go from the port to the village and then to the guest house.

"Grilled fish! Grilled fish! I'm so hungry! It's so delicious! Grilled fish!"

Ignoring the boy sitting next to the grill, Hattori Heiji stared at the grilled fish, rushed to the grill, picked up the grill stick holding the grilled fish, and brought the grilled fish to his mouth.

Open your mouth and eat the fish.

"Yeah! It's delicious! So spicy! Give me a bowl of porridge too!"

Hattori Heiji glanced sideways at the boy next to him, wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket with a ginkgo leaf icon, holding a bowl in his hand, and the rich and mellow fragrance of seafood porridge wafted out.

He should also be a high school student.

Thinking of yourself as a famous detective, a well-known person in the circle of high school students, many people are chasing you for autographs. When people of the same age know your name, they will definitely admire you very much!

Usually when he was in school, Heiji would be treated like this, surrounded in front and behind.
