Chapter 519 Kudo, please be patient a little longer
Mouri Kogoro rummaged in the inner pocket of his suit for a while before pulling out the brown paper envelope. When he handed it to Takaji Sousuke, he did not forget to say:
"This guy named Keiji Aso called me the commission fee without caring whether I accepted the commission or not. Hey, I originally made an appointment with someone to watch Okino Yoko's TV series in the evening, but now I have to break the appointment."
"Dad, have you told the other party that you are not free tonight?" Mao Lilan suddenly remembered something and reminded him.
Mouri Kogoro slapped himself on the forehead violently, and quickly took out his mobile phone and adjusted it to the LINE chat box. Fujiwara Yu, who was standing aside, glanced at it accidentally. After seeing the nickname of the person he was chatting with, his eyes almost popped out.
Because it clearly says: Three-color dumpling hite, isn’t this White’s LINE account?!
The person Whitey had been chatting with all night was Mouri Kogoro? Fujiwara Yuu twitched the corner of his mouth. He really didn't expect that Tokyo was so small that they could meet on the Internet.
He looked away, lowered his head, opened the brown paper envelope, and took out the letter inside. He found that the fonts on it were all typed with a printer, obviously not wanting to expose his handwriting.
[On the night of the next full moon, shadows will begin to disappear again on Moon Shadow Island. Please investigate the reason, Keiji Aso.]
Full moon? If I remember correctly, today is the 16th day of the third lunar month, which happens to be the night of the full moon.
Does the shadow beginning to disappear mean that someone will die? Then isn't this letter a warning of a crime?
Fujiwara Yu couldn't help but frown. He knew that Keiji Aso, who had been dead for twelve years, could not send a letter to Kogoro Mouri, who had only recently become more famous. So who was the sender?
Is the murderer who is about to commit a crime trying to provoke the detective, or does he know the truth about Keiji Aso's death?
Whether it is the former or the latter, Fujiwara Yu is convinced that Aso Keiji's death was not that simple. Perhaps he did not set the fire himself, but someone deliberately set it on fire to disguise it as a massacre scene.
He pretended not to know anything, and when he handed the envelope back to Mouri Kogoro, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Did the commission fee be sent to you before the commission was completed? It seems that this man named Keiji Aso trusts Mr. Mori very much."
"Yes, and he paid me five hundred thousand yen directly. My previous commission fee was not that high at all. I came to Yueying Island to ask in person what exactly I was asked to investigate, and at the same time, I could get part of the commission fee refunded.
"
Although Mouri Kogoro wants to make a lot of money, he also knows that private detectives are a gray profession. The previous charges for investigating extramarital affairs were only about 100,000 yen each time. He was unwilling to accept such an order with a large commission fee because he was worried that the investigation would
This kind of thing could lead to death, so for the safety of his family, he would rather only accept small commissions that don't make a lot of money.
What just makes him a little puzzled is that recently, he always solves murders in his sleep, which makes him famous. On the surface, he is indeed happy and enjoying it, but inside he is still a little scared.
Mouri Kogoro is not afraid of being retaliated against. He is only worried about Xiaolan, Yingli and the little bespectacled guy staying at home. If anything happens to them, he will definitely blame himself to death.
Fujiwara Yu glanced at Edogawa Conan and said calmly:
"I happen to have nothing to do. If you don't mind, Mr. Mori, can you let me follow you to see the client?"
"Of course it's no problem. I'll feel relieved as Officer Takaji is with me!" Kogoro Mori agreed without even thinking about it. Even if something happened, he would be able to feel at ease with the presence of an adult.
a lot of.
It takes four hours to set off from Miwa Pier to Moon Shadow Island. Due to the strong wind and waves, the ship's hull swayed, causing Kogoro Mouri to become seasick.
Mao Lilan supported her old father and complained while taking him indoors:
"Dad, you still don't believe me when I told you to take seasickness medicine in advance. Now you know how uncomfortable it is, right?"
"Xiaolan, I feel really uncomfortable...well, I really want to vomit."
"Dad, please bear with me and wait until you get to the toilet before you vomit!"
Fujiwara Yu leans on the railing
In front of him, he looked at the back figures of the father and daughter helping him into the house, with a faint envy in his eyes. He turned his back and looked at the fog that was gradually appearing, looking a little lonely.
Maybe it's because he's getting older. Whenever he sees the happiness of other people's families, he will inevitably be moved by the scene. Thinking back to the scene when he was young, he was once so happy and enjoyed the care and love of his parents.
Edogawa Conan glanced back quietly, and after confirming that Xiaolan would not come back soon, he tugged on Takaji Sousuke's trouser leg and whispered:
"Brother Takaji, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Is that Haibara guy making an antidote? Can you give me one after you make it?" Edogawa Conan's face was filled with anticipation. He dreamed of becoming Kudo Shinichi and returning to the world again.
Life in Didan High School.
Moreover, only by changing back to Kudo Shinichi can he stand by Xiaolan's side again, instead of just calling her "Sister Xiaolan" now.
Fujiwara Yu knew that Miyano Shiho was making an antidote in the basement of Dr. Agasa's house. Some time ago, she was extracting the ingredients of Laobaigan. In order to ensure that there was no problem with the antidote, he also provided her with a batch of research mice.
He knew that the antidote would be made sooner or later, but now was not the time to use the antidote:
"Kudo Shinichi is not qualified to "live". You should know this better than me, right?"
When Edogawa Conan heard these words, he couldn't help but froze. Ever since he accidentally drank Laobaigan wine and briefly transformed into Kudo Shinichi, he had been eager to get his original life back.
But he forgot that what really hindered him was not APTX4869, but the mysterious black organization.
Yes, how can Kudo Shinichi claim to the outside world that he is still alive? Even if the antidote is made, he cannot take it himself.
Fujiwara Yu saw his disappointed expression, squatted down and gently rubbed his head, and said in a deep voice:
"Kudo, please be patient a little longer. One day the police will uproot the organization. When the time comes, you can confess whatever you want and I will reimburse you for the expenses."
In the first half of the sentence, Edogawa Conan was still nodding in agreement. Although he is still a minor, he has long since experienced so many things and has become mature. He naturally understands the truth.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his whole little face turned red and his words became awkward:
"Stupid, stupid stupid idiot! I didn't even think about confessing to Xiaolan!"
"Oh?" Fujiwara Yu was like a cunning fox. He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "I didn't seem to say who you wanted to confess to just now, right? How come some people automatically think of the person to confess to?"
Edogawa Conan gritted his teeth and cursed in his mind: What's so great about adults who fall in love? Isn't it just that they were born ten years earlier than me? It's shameless to bully minors!
