Conan's Almighty Extraction

"Let's see, who sent me the letter." Mori Kogoro was a little confused, took the envelope from Xiaolan's hand, opened it, and checked the contents inside.

Inside the envelope, there is a piece of letter paper, but there is no written content on it, but a passage of words that seems to be entrusted is left in the way of clipping and scraping newspaper text.

[On the night of the next full moon, shadows will start disappearing from Moon Shadow Island again, please investigate the reason—Keiji Aso. 】

Mouri Kogoro flipped through the letter paper back and forth, and snorted coldly: "Cut, who would issue the commission in such a way, it must be a prank by some boring guy."

After seeing the words Moon Shadow Island, Shiraiwa Maha immediately recalled the classic "Moonlight" murder case in the original book, and just as he was about to speak, the office's phone rang.

Mori Kogoro threw the letter away, picked up the phone and responded, "Moshi Moshi, this is the Mori Detective Agency."

"Detective Maori, I'm Keiji Aso from Moon Shadow Island. There are two days before the full moon. The 50 yuan paid for this commission has already been transferred to your firm's account. Please come here."

On the other side of the phone, there was a voice from a man who claimed to be Keiji Aso, and then Kogoro Mori hung up the phone without giving him time to answer.

"Hey, wait a minute, listen to me, hello, hello."

Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Mori Kogoro hung up the phone angrily, complaining dissatisfiedly: "What a rude guy, are you trying to force me to accept the commission?"

"Uncle, the other party has indeed remitted the money to the public account of the firm. Do you want to accept the other party's entrustment?" After checking the firm's account with a notebook, Shiraiwa Maha asked Mori Kogoro what he thought.

"Yeah." Mori Kogoro stroked his chin and thought for a while, then replied, "Let's go and have a look. After all, the reward is 50, so it's not a bad business."

"Okay, then I'll help you order the boat ticket to Moon Shadow Island online."

Shiraiwa Maha searched the Internet for the ferry schedule to Moon Shadow Island two days later, and asked Xiaolan and the two of them: "I heard that the scenery on Moon Shadow Island is beautiful, and I'm going to visit it too. Do you want to go together? Exactly two days later is the weekend."

Conan's detective curiosity was aroused by the mysterious client in a strange way, and he replied without hesitation: "I'm going."

"I'm going too. It's been a long time since I went to the beach." Although Xiao Lan was not interested in the case, she also decided to go to Moon Shadow Island for some fun.

"Okay, let's book four tickets." Shiraiwa Maha ordered four passenger ship tickets to confirm the matter.

……

Two days later, that is Saturday, Shiraiwa Maha and others got up early and took a passenger ship to Moon Shadow Island.

Mori Kogoro originally planned to watch the scenery on the deck, but found that thick fog was rising on the sea surface. Bored, he complained angrily: "Really, I can go to the park to enjoy flowers, but in the end I have to go The kind of small island that has never heard the name”

Xiaolan was more excited, and said with a smile on the side: "Because Dad, you have accepted the reward from the other party, and it is also very good, everyone can relax on Moon Shadow Island, can't you, Conan."

After hearing Xiaolan's question, Ke Wife Guanyan Nan hurriedly replied: "Yeah, sister Xiaolan is right."

"Uncle, there is a chess and card room and a bar on the passenger ship. If you feel bored, you can go there and have fun." Shiraiwa Maha provided Mori Kogoro with a place to relieve boredom, while he himself took out the newly purchased novel look.

A few hours later, the passenger ship arrived at Moon Shadow Island, and Mori Kogoro took everyone to the household registration management department on the island, looking for Mr. Keiji Aso who did not leave his contact information.

"Keiji Aso, right? Please wait a moment, let me look for it..."

After learning about the purpose of everyone's visit, the staff promised to help, but after searching the island resident register for a while, they raised their heads and asked, "Sorry, I didn't find the name. Are you sure the name is correct?"

"That's right, I still have a letter from him here," Mori Kogoro showed the letter to the staff, and asked, "Please help me find it again."

After looking through the list again, the staff replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, there is really no such name in the resident register."

"Tomoya, what happened?"

Probably seeing a lot of strangers gathered here, the director of the household registration management department came over and asked about the situation here.

The staff member named Tomoya scratched his head and replied: "Director, this gentleman said that he came here under the entrustment of Keiji Aso, a resident of the island, but Keiji Aso was not found in my resident register."

After hearing the name Keiji Aso, the director's expression changed suddenly, and he confirmed to Kogoro Mori in surprise, "Who did you say entrusted you?! Keiji Aso?!"

The director's voice was very loud, and other residents who came to the household registration management department also heard the name Keiji Aso, their expressions became very strange, and they began to discuss in low voices.

"Yes, this is the entrustment letter he sent to me." Looking at the abnormal situation of the director and other residents, Mori Kogoro also realized that something was wrong, and quickly handed the entrustment letter to the other party for viewing.

After reading the contents of the entrustment letter, the director seemed to have seen a ghost, and said in disbelief: "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible, because... because of Keiji Aso, he died more than ten years ago!"

"What? Keiji Aso is dead?" Mori Kogoro was taken aback when he heard that, his expression became serious, and he asked the director who knew about Keiji Aso, "Can you please tell me about Keiji Aso?" ?”

"This... well, you guys come with me, we go to the office and talk." The director hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

"Keiji Aso, an aborigine born on this island, was a famous pianist in the past, but he died on a full moon night 12 years ago."

"At that time, Keiji Aso, who had been away from home for many years, returned to the island and held a personal piano recital in the village's public hall."

"But after the concert, Keiji Aso and his family suddenly closed the house and set fire to it."

"It is said that he killed his wife and daughter with a knife, and he seemed to be entangled in something in the raging flames. He continued to play the piano, which was Beethoven's piano sonata - "Moonlight."

"So everyone felt that he was entangled by something unclean, and since then he has been unwilling to talk about Keiji Aso with others."

Under the director's narration, everyone learned about Keiji Aso. As detectives, Kogoro Mori and Conan became more certain that there was absolutely something unknown behind this commission.
