A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 18 Set foot on Moon Shadow Island

"Dad, it's time to get up, we're leaving today."

In the Maori office, Conan is eating breakfast at the dining table, while Xiaolan slams on the door of Uncle Maori's room. Today is the day that Uncle Maori accepts the commission to go to a remote island.

"Hehe... Uncle Mao Li has been drinking too much again. He has been drinking all day long. I have a pity that I wrote the self-criticism all day yesterday. My hands are numb and I can't hold the bowl steadily. I blame that bastard Noah. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him, so happy.”

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of hot tea, Conan is looking forward to his upcoming trip.

"Good morning, Conan."

"Pfft, cough cough."

The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and an unusually familiar face appeared in front of Conan, scaring the water he just drank out of his mouth.

"You... what are you doing here?"

"That's right, can't I go shopping if I'm fine?"

Looking at the smiling face in front of him, Conan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, it might not be what he thought...

"Yo, good morning, Noah, why are you here so early."

"Hi, Xiaolan, I'm free at home, I want to see Conan soon."

"Sister Xiaolan, brother Noah will not go with us."

Conan was lucky enough to ask his own question, hoping that Xiaolan would say the answer he wanted to hear the most, but unfortunately, the goddess of luck was not on his side.

"That's right, I specially invited Noah to go with us, don't you like Noah very much?"

... How did you know that I like him.

……

"Really, why did you involve Noah? Don't you know it might be dangerous this time?"

"Yeah, how could brother Noah be involved in such a dangerous thing, what if he is in danger."

"call out"

Conan echoed Uncle Maori's speech very much, and felt that the uncle's speech this time was simply the best sentence in his life. It was justified and well-founded, and it would not make people feel abrupt or polite.

If ordinary people might retort with words, Noah would be different. He took out the wooden sword at his waist and chopped it at a thick branch next to him. It broke in response to the sound and divided into three parts. The two of them fell silent for a moment.

Noah also came prepared. After all, the target this time was not in the urban area of ​​Tokyo. Danger might happen. When he went out, he summoned his wooden sword and carried it on his waist. He did not expect to use it now, and the effect was Excellent, just looking at the expressions of the two of them, you can see that there is no problem.

"This guy's swordsmanship is amazing!"

Conan and Uncle Maori are not ignorant people either. Looking at the smooth cutting surface of the branch, one can see the power. It is very possible to kill a person with one blow, let alone not seeing this guy himself. The trajectory of the knife, one out and one in, cut off in response.

"Noah, your sword skills are very powerful, I have never seen such a powerful one."

After all, Xiaolan has practiced karate, so she can see that Noah's swordsmanship is superb, and she may not be able to fight.

"Little trick, little trick, I have practiced swordsmanship for a while."

Noah smiled and put away the long sword in his hand. Noah holding the sword exuded a fierce aura. Noah who put away the sword seemed to be another sunny boy next door, which made people startled.

"Hey, hey, how do you practice your swordsmanship, can you teach me."

Seeing the power of Noah's swordsmanship in front of him, Conan dragged Noah back a step and asked, thinking that if he could also master such a powerful strength, the safety of handling cases would be greatly improved in the future.

"Yes, swordsmanship is actually not difficult to practice, just persist for a long time."

"Then how to practice, I can't help but start."

"First swing the sword a thousand times, let me see."

Noah threw the wooden sword in his hand to Conan and asked him to make gestures.

"Forget it, I'm still young, let's talk about it later, and I won't bother you."

Throwing the sword straight to the ground, Conan quickly followed Uncle Maori,...hehe...A thousand times, I still count on destroying the men in black organization, but I don't want to die suddenly.

Noah was just teasing Conan. If he could teach his swordsmanship to him, he would naturally not be stingy, but he has no system, how to teach it.

……

This time the island was not around Tokyo, but near the Ishima Islands. The cause of the incident was a bit complicated. It was originally a very simple invitation letter, which invited Mr. Mori to travel on Moon Shadow Island. Things, there is no way to go, so I declined the other party's invitation.

The strange thing is that this invitation letter was sent to Maori two years ago. After declining it, Uncle Maori gradually forgot about it. Until a week ago, Uncle Maori received another letter from Moon Shadow Island.

The letter this time is different from the first invitation letter. This letter turned out to be a notice of murder. The owner of the letter told that he was going to kill others on Moon Shadow Island. Of course, Mr. Maori couldn’t sit idly by. So he decided to come to Moon Shadow Island to prevent this murder from happening.

Unexpectedly, the ship to Moon Shadow Island can only be taken in Shizuoka County. Uncle Mori asked the relevant staff that this ship is not available every day, only once a week, and the latest departure date is today. Everyone I came to Shizuoka in the morning hoping to catch this ship.

……

Simply put, the boat sailed at ten o'clock in the morning, and Mao Li and the others arrived at the place around nine o'clock. It was really not easy. Noah and the others hurriedly boarded the cabin. There were not many guests going to Moon Shadow Island, so four people chose A relatively clean large room.

The staff on board said that Moon Shadow Island was not their final destination, they were just passing by. According to the current speed, it would take about four hours. Lunch was provided on board, but it was charged.

"What kind of thoughts do you think the sender had in order to send this letter?"

"One does not kill another human being without reason, except, of course, insanity."

Although Noah doesn't understand reasoning, he also knows some simple common sense. This club is chatting with Conan and others, trying to ease the tension in the ship. After all, human life is at stake, and the spirit must be tense.

"It's really hateful. No matter what, killing people is wrong after all, and it's not the only way."

"Yes, no matter what, murder cannot be forgiven."

Maori and Conan are no less than detectives, and they both have the same ideas, but also, their professions doom them to deal with criminals for the rest of their lives, so they naturally hate such things.

Noah's thinking is different from theirs. It is wrong to kill people, but if the person who is killed has committed an unforgivable crime, then the act of killing may not be wrong, and he does not rule out this crime.

But these words must not be said easily, not to mention that the two great detectives are in front of him, and they are both his friends. If he said such a thing, they might criticize him.

Looking at the sea view outside the window, Noah's heart gradually calmed down. Beautiful things are always intoxicating, and the conversations in his ears gradually quieted down. When he turned his head, he saw that several other people were already lying on the bed Fell asleep.

Shaking his head and covering them with quilts, Noah continued to sit by the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery. He often trains himself and is used to getting up early. They are not people who often get up early.

……

Four hours passed quickly, and the crew on board were also shouting outside.

Moon Shadow Island, here we come!
