Chapter 119 The client who has been dead for twelve years
"Really, even the money was paid. This is obviously forcing me to come here." Mouri Kogoro continued to be arrogant.
"What does it matter?" Mao Lilan stood behind him and comforted, "It just so happens that we can have a good time on Moon Shadow Island. Right, Conan-kun?"
"Yeah." Edogawa Conan's face was cute.
"Besides, Dad, don't you really want to be with..." Xiaolan stopped before she could finish her words and looked at Kuroki Ren, who was still awake from the cabin: "Good morning, Mr. Kuroki."<
/p>
"Good morning." Kuroki Jin yawned.
"Good morning, Brother Ren." Conan opened his eyes wide and looked cute.
Kuroki Jin suddenly lost all energy to wake up, and touched Conan's head with a smile: "Good morning, Conan-kun."
Sure enough. Edogawa Conan looked down upon him with half-moon eyes, and secretly thought in his heart: This guy Kuroki Jin has no temper at all towards children.
It was early in the morning and the surrounding fog had not dispersed. Kuroki Ren stretched out and felt it was a bit cold outside, sneezed and hid in the cabin.
"Who told Brother Kuromu to go out without even putting on his coat?" Ruomu Wenren, who was standing dazedly against the cabin, muttered.
While muttering, he handed the coat to Kuroki Jin.
Kuroki Ren took it with a smile and pinched his face. After pinching the person awake, he smiled even more happily at the dissatisfied look on the other person's face.
Amid the commotion, the boat docked at the shore of Yueying Island.
The atmosphere on Yueying Island is very peaceful. Kuroki Ren took a breath of fresh air, which was still moist, as if he would look younger with just one breath.
Naturally, Mouri Kogoro wanted to find the client quickly. After he was the last one to get off the boat, he led a group of people to the resident registration office and asked the public officials about Aso Keiji.
That person was new here, and after searching the roster for a long time, there was no such name. It happened that their director came over and overheard their conversation.
"Keiji Aso?!" He showed a horrified expression, "No, this can't happen! Because, because he..."
"He died twelve years ago!!!"
Kuroki Jin frowned because of his roar, and calmly moved two steps away from him, then looked around at the people in the room with different expressions.
Whispering, looking surprised, spying secretly... It was as if they, outsiders, had mentioned something very bad.
Mouri Kogoro asked some more questions, and everyone walked out of the office.
Mouri Kogoro complained about this man's prank, but Edogawa Conan didn't think so. He felt that since the man had already sent the money, he was probably asked to investigate the truth of the case that year, as a new famous detective in Tokyo.
.
Twelve years ago, Keiji Aso returned home after a performance at the public hall and killed his wife and children. He lit the house on fire and played Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" in the fire. It seemed as if he was haunted by some devil in the raging fire.
In the end, even the home was burned to rubble.
Edogawa Conan suspected that someone thought this case was not suicide but homicide, and specifically asked Uncle Mori to investigate.
What he said was a bit reliable. Mao Lilan persuaded her father to ask again, it would be better to take the money and just come here for a tour.
A few people were walking around, and Kuroki Ren was thinking about something when he vaguely caught a voice that concerned him.
"Ouch...it hurts...sister Chengshi."
Kuroki Ren looked in that direction. The sign of "Moon Shadow Island Clinic" was hanging on it, and the door was open. He glanced over and saw a seven or eight-year-old child wiping away his tears and crying softly.<
/p>
Opposite the child is a female nurse in a white coat, who is patiently comforting the child and applying medicine to his bleeding leg.
Conan accidentally disappeared from Kuroki's sight, and when he saw him again, he had already entered the house.
"Kid." Kuroki Ren bent down slightly with a smile and stared at the boy with red eyes.
The boy's big watery eyes asked: Who are you, big brother?
"My name is Kuroki Jin, you can call me Kuroki brother." Kuroki Jin said in a gentle tone, "My family owns a candy store in Tokyo. You see, these are colorful and beautiful candies."
Kuroki clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, a colorful candy lay in his palms.
"Wow!" The child's attention has long been attracted, and he stared at the candy intently.
"Call Brother Kuromu, and I will give you delicious candies." Kuroki Ren induced.
"Hello, Brother Ren." The child looked eager.
Kuroki Ren: "..."
Well, Brother Ren is Brother Ren. He is used to being called "Brother Ren" by those children. Maybe one day he will be desensitized and even Bellmode will call him "Xiaoren" and he will accept it with a smile.
I just hope Gin leaves his body intact.
Kuroki put the candy into the child's palm, and when he saw him happily peeling it open and put it into his mouth, he realized that the medicine on his legs had been applied.
"Thank you, Sister Chengshi." He stood up carefully, thinking that he could still run out to play, "Thank you, Brother Ren, for the candy."
Kuroki Jin sighed at the child's vitality, and the next moment he was drawn back to his attention by a gentle voice.
"Is Mr. Kuroki also here to see a doctor?"
Kuroki Jin looked at the woman in a white coat in front of him. She had a single ponytail. She had just put down the iodine and cotton swabs in her hands and was looking at him with suspicion.
Review?
Kuroki Ren squinted his eyes, and when he looked over again, he no longer felt this way.
"This..." he said, opening the topic with his usual smile.
"My name is Asai Narumi, and I am the only doctor here." She introduced herself, both to Kuroki Jin and to Mori and others who came in after him.
"Brother Heimu, don't just run away without saying a word." Ruomu Wenren is full of resentment.
"Sorry, sorry." Kuroki Ren showed no regret at all, "I just heard the child's cry and subconsciously came in."
Everyone present believes this. After all, Kuroki is quite famous on the street of Didan for spoiling children.
The only one who doesn’t believe it is Asai Narumi.
The gaze that made Kuroki Ren extremely concerned appeared and disappeared again. His perception has always been sharp, and it is impossible for him to feel this kind of life-saving thing wrong, twice in a row.
Excluding acquaintances and children, the only outsider present was Narimi Asai.
Is she hostile to herself?
This was Kuroki Jin's first thought, but then he began to deny it: He arrived at Moon Shadow Island on the first day today, and the two of them had never met before, so how could there be any hostility?
It couldn't have been caused by giving that child a piece of candy.
After Kuroki Jin apologized proficiently, he listened to Xiaolan and Asai Narumi quickly becoming familiar with each other, and asked her about the current village chief election.
There are three candidates, fishermen representative Shimizu Masato, current village chief Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and the island's largest bourgeoisie Hideo Kawashima.
It is said that Hideo Kawashima currently has the highest approval rate, while the current village chief's approval rate has dropped a lot due to word-of-mouth issues.
After finding out that the mayor of Kuroiwa Village should be at the public hall now, and asking for the way to the public hall, Maori and others said goodbye.
Before leaving the house, Kuroki Jin looked at Asai Narimi, who was smiling kindly. The other person smiled at him, and he smiled back.
In terms of laughter, he really can't lose to anyone who exercises next to Gin's ice cube every day.
