Conan: Ke Xue’s daily life in the world of elderly care

"Go to the village hall and ask."

Mouri Kogoro glanced at the road sign and walked into the village office with his followers behind him. He glanced at the election notice board standing outside the village office with his peripheral vision.

Still holding the slightly messy letter of entrustment in his hand, he quickly walked into the village office hall, found a free window and asked, "Excuse me, where does Mr. Keiji Aso live?"

Behind the counter, a young man frowned slightly and looked at Kogoro Mori with doubtful eyes, "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with Mr. Keiji Aso?"

"My dear, Mouri Kogoro, I was invited by Mr. Keiji Aso to come to Tsukikage Island, but he didn't leave a meeting place, so I wanted to ask." Mouri Kogoro stood next to the counter and lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows furrowed a little, and his whole body was calm. And rational, looks extremely serious.

Hearing this, the young teller nodded, quickly flipped through the list of islanders at hand, and scanned the names on it, trying to find a person named Keiji Aso.

Mouri Kogoro sighed slightly, and the calm and serious expression on his face instantly turned helpless. He couldn't help but complain: "What a strange client..."

The cold aura dissipated instantly, turning into a lazy look, leaning on the counter and waiting in boredom.

A slight clicking sound came from the side. The man who was standing quietly and trying to be a good life assistant turned his head slightly and lowered his eyes. He looked at the man's long, white and sharp-knuckled hand, twisting a thin string of gold beads, slowly. Twisting slowly, like a monk chanting sutras in a temple, or like an old man or woman from a Buddhist family.

Jianggu Ling moved his gaze upwards and met Tang Muqing's gaze, "I didn't see that you believe in Buddhism."

"I don't believe it." Tang Muqing raised his hand and looked at the golden bead string in his hand. He thought for a while before explaining, "It is engraved with the words "to attract wealth and bring treasures." If you have nothing to do, rub it to remind yourself to make money. Generally speaking, if you think about it, I become extra calm when it comes to making money.”

Hey, who doesn’t love gold?

Fangtani Ling was caught off guard by this fallacy, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "People spin Buddhist beads to use Buddhist scriptures to calm themselves down. You spin Buddhist beads to make money to calm yourself down. Your hobby is really strange."

"Is it strange?" Tang Muqing smiled indifferently and murmured in a low voice, "There are many strange things..."

Without waiting for more words, the young teller who was looking through the roster in front finally raised his head and looked at the people in front of him with more doubtful eyes, "Sorry, there is no resident named Keiji Aso on the island."

Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro suddenly bent over in shock and looked at the teller with wide eyes, "Really? Please look carefully again!"

Under the curious gaze of everyone, the teller still shook his head helplessly, "No, his name is really not in the island's resident register."

Seeing the teller's troubled expression, Mouri Kogoro suddenly frowned, "How is that possible... then this commission is really strange."

On the side, Xiaolan frowned slightly, holding Conan's hand and looking at Mouri Kogoro inquiringly, "Then let's..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure appeared next to the teller.

The visitor was wearing a dark gray suit, and the glasses on his nose made him look particularly elegant.

The middle-aged man glanced at the unfamiliar guest and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The teller breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back slightly to explain, "This gentleman said that he received a commission from the island residents to come here, but I looked through the roster and couldn't find the name Keiji Aso..."

Before he finished speaking, the man who looked like the manager of the village office suddenly widened his eyes in horror, with a look of fear on his face, and his voice was high-pitched and slightly broken, "Keiji Aso?!"

The sound was so loud that the entire village hall fell silent for a moment, followed immediately by a series of shock and gasping sounds.

Jianggu Ling's eyes quickly swept around, keeping this strange feeling of disobedience in mind, and then turned to look at Tang Muqing, "What are you looking at?"

Tang Muqing rubbed the gold beads in his hands, and his eyes fell on the frightened manager, "I'm watching... When he is scared, a little black will appear on the bridge of his nose..."

On the bridge of the nose, at the base of the mountain, it spreads to the eyes. Together with the widened eyes and pressed eyebrows, it looks full of appeal.

Fangtani Rei glanced sideways, "Isn't everyone like this?"

Tang Muqing:...

Tang Muqing didn't want to explain the three-dimensional things to the two-dimensional people, so he could only glance at Jiang Guling lightly, and said with a half-smile: "Yes, the same is true for Officer Obara. It was cold and windy on the rooftop that day, and I was naked at the time. When I climbed up on my feet, I saw that my gentle life assistant was forced to show such a scared, helpless and desperate expression..."

There was some emotion in his voice, but Jiang Guling's face completely darkened.

I understand, Rye’s grudge is not remembered deeply enough.

He Jiang Guling now wrote Rye in the first line of his little book of grudges. When he got back, he took out his small coffers to buy hot searches for Tang Muqing, trying to make Rye's face, who was wearing women's clothing, be thrown from Japan to the other side of the ocean!

Tang Muqing glanced at Fangtani Ling's expression with satisfaction, and waited for the negotiations with Mouri Kogoro and others with a slight smile.

Has it stopped?

Jing mocked him day by day, and he was no longer the servant with the bright smile when they first met.

Everyone in the village office hall focused their horrified gazes on the outsider, and their eyes were filled with confusion and confusion.

Mouri Kogoro took a step back, a look of confusion appeared on his face, "Huh?"

The manager's eyes were dull, and he looked extremely frightened. He seemed to be talking to himself or explaining, "This kind of thing can't happen."

Mouri Kogoro looked over and wondered: "Why?"

"Because the Keiji Aso you are looking for died twelve years ago." The man was still frightened, looking down at a point in the void, his voice dry.

After saying this, the manager leaned on the counter as if he had lost all strength, with a little cold sweat on his forehead.

The Maori family all showed the same shocked expression, with a dark shadow across the bridge of their noses, as if to show their shock.

Tang Muqing couldn't help but closed his eyes, "I'll go crazy if I keep reading..."

Try it at home!

Try to see if you can add a little shadow on the bridge of your nose to show fear!

Under Tang Muqing's curious gaze, the management staff recounted the scene of Kei Aso setting himself on fire at home twenty-two years ago, which made everyone's hearts beat wildly.

Ten minutes later, a group of people walked out of the village office and stood on the roadside with sad eyes. For a moment, they didn't know where to look for such a dead client.

"Is it a prank?" Mouri Kogoro was a little confused, leaning on the roadside railing and smoking melancholy, "It must be someone's prank!"

"You shouldn't remit the commission fee directly for pranks, right?" Mao Lilan was equally puzzled, but still took it seriously, "We can go to the village chief's house and ask..."

Conan rolled his eyes, leaned close to Tang Muqing, raised his head, stretched out his hand and tugged on Tang Muqing's sleeve, "Brother Tang Muqing, I think the client really exists, maybe he is a ghost."

Tang Muqing:...

That's fine. Is Conan planning to pretend to be a primary school student to scare him?

Tang Muqing lowered his eyes and looked at Conan, and suddenly chuckled, "I remembered, there is an old saying in China, dogs can see dirty things."
