Chapter 3 The Smuggling Case of Moon Shadow Island
Asai Makoto, whose real name was Aso Minoru.
The son of pianist Keiji Aso, he was frail and sick when he was young. As a result, his body was thinner than that of an ordinary man as an adult, and he looked roughly the same as a woman.
Twelve years ago, after his family was burned to death in a fire, Konaimi, who was receiving treatment in a Tokyo hospital at that time, was adopted and later renamed Asai Makoto.
Suspecting that there was something fishy about the deaths of her father, mother and sister, Aso Minoru began practicing disguise as a woman after graduating from medical school. After mastering the vivid disguise and onomatopoeia techniques, she reincarnated as "Female Doctor Makoto Asai"
He returned to his hometown of Moon Shadow Island and began to investigate the truth behind his family’s death.
I have been here for three years now.
Hard work pays off. A year ago, Aso, who had fully known the truth about the death of his family, had been hesitant about whether to carry out his planned revenge murder plan. Then he encountered a man who sneaked into the Moon Shadow Island Clinic to avoid the rain.
The Tokyo policeman Katsumi Uehara.
He didn't want to get too involved with the police, but he ended up becoming friends with this man through some strange combination of circumstances. It was precisely because of this that Aso became more and more confused about whether he should kill someone or not.
He wants to take revenge, but the good education he has received since childhood has been urging him to stop;
He wanted to stop, but every time he wanted to give up, the old article about his family's tragic death in the fire stimulated his nerves over and over again.
For this reason, he even had the idea in his mind to write a notice letter to Kudo Shinichi, the famous high school detective in Tokyo, before he started killing people, to see if he could come and stop him before he killed someone.
.
Until now, the two thoughts of continuing and giving up have not been able to distinguish in Aso Minoru's mind.
He thought he would continue to be troubled, but he didn't expect that Katsuki Uehara today revealed his true identity, making him forget his troubles and giving him a copy of the music score.
Theoretically, it should be the music score left by his father Keiji Aso before his death.
"I--"
"Your reaction has told me everything. There is no need to say sophistry, so as not to waste everyone's time." Katsuki Uehara with a chuckle retracted his sight, put his hands behind his head, and swung his raised right leg regularly, speaking loudly.
road.
"..."
Aso opened his mouth, but the next words swirled in his throat several times but he still couldn't come out.
He didn't understand that his disguise should be perfect. In the past three years on the island, no one had seen through that he was actually a man. Why would Katsumi Uehara...
"Who are you? Why do you know this? Where did this score come from?" After quickly forcing himself to calm down, Aso Minoru asked as he gradually moved back a few minutes.
How could an ordinary Tokyo policeman have the time to investigate him? There must be something behind this.
The moment his identity was exposed, Aso Minoru already doubted whether Uehara Katsumi, who he had had a close personal relationship with for the past year, was really a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department as he said.
After hearing this, Katsuki Uehara took out his left hand from the pillow behind his head, reached into the pocket of his beach shorts and took out an ID card, which flew into Aso Minoru's arms: "My name is Katsuki Uehara, and I currently work at the Metropolitan Police Department.
The criminal department is investigating the third branch of violent crimes in the first section. He is a policeman. This is my ID.
"As you can see, I didn't lie."
Looking at the face with a bright smile in the ID photo, Aso Minoru fell silent.
"As for why I know this, I have to mention a prisoner I arrested a year and a half ago."
As if he was ready to tell a story, Katsuki Uehara waved his hand and sat up: "He was arrested on suspicion of murder and drug trafficking. Although the prisoner refused to explain, I still delineated the source of his drug acquisition based on some clues.
In the holiday resort of Yueying Island.
"But, you know, this matter usually does not fall under the jurisdiction of the third branch of violent crime to which I belong. Later, my colleagues said that the source of the crime had been captured, so I came to Yueying Island a year ago just to have fun.
Fake. But something unexpected happened, which reminded me of my suspicions about this island, and I secretly launched a little investigation."
At this point, as if to strengthen the credibility of his words, Uehara Katsumi also raised his right hand and pulled the knuckle of his little finger with his thumb to indicate that he had really only checked a little bit.
"Facts have proven that my speculation a year and a half ago was correct, and my colleagues only caught a few gangsters. There are still people on Yueying Island who are secretly selling drugs under the guise of a prosperous scene.
And I discovered a very strange point in the transaction ledger of one of the drug trafficker leaders.
"A name named Keiji Aso appeared several times in the ledger, but starting twelve years ago, this name suddenly disappeared from the ledger, leaving only the names of three other drug trafficker leaders."
Speaking of this, Katsuki Uehara raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and looked directly at the frowning Aso Minoru: "I checked out of curiosity, and then I found out that he and his family had a divorce one month ago twelve years ago.
Yuanye died in the fire.
"I thought this line ended here, but later I discovered that Aso Keiji also had a young son who was receiving treatment in Tokyo at the time, named Aso Minoru. After the fire, Aso Minoru was adopted by the Asai family.
, and changed his name to Asai Makoto.”
"...No, that's not the case. My father didn't know it was drugs at first. They just asked him, a pianist, to help bring something back from abroad. Their accomplices gave it to my father."
Aso Michiru, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. Although it was still a female voice, the meaning in her tone was completely different: "Because they were playmates who grew up together, my father helped me a few times.
"But later, when my father realized something was wrong and wanted to quit, these three people came to my father and asked him to continue, claiming that they could share the dividends, but my father refused. So they killed him and me.
Mom, my sister..."
After arriving on the island three years ago, Asai Makoto, who has been secretly investigating, met the now deceased former village chief Isamu Kameyama, and took the initiative to confess that he was Aso Keiji's son and wanted to ask him something.
.As a result, the shocked Kameyama Isamu immediately suffered from cardiac paralysis and died, and it was difficult for gods to save him.
Everything Aso knew about his father was also obtained from Kameyama Yu's soliloquy before his death.
"So, you think your father is not an accomplice of Kameyama Isamu and others?" Uehara Katsumi raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing the story of Aso Keiji's death from Aso Minoru's mouth.
