Chapter 49 Save Me

After battling with insomnia all night, Edogawa Conan finally fell asleep at [-]:[-] a.m. during the holiday, but the sleep didn't last long, as he was awakened by a knock on the door at around [-]:[-] a.m.

"Conan, wake up."

It was Xiaolan's sister's call that I heard every morning.

"Ah good!" He replied in a daze, half-closed his eyes, put on his glasses and left the room, then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth, the whole process was very normal.

"Morning."

What was unusual was the girl who greeted him passing by the bathroom.

He slowed down for half a beat, and in the next second he lost all sleepiness, and stammered in response:

"Early, early."

Appeared, the culprit of his insomnia.

"By the way, can you comb your hair?" She asked this sentence suddenly and nonsensically.

"Huh?" He was stunned for no reason.

"It's nothing." She continued to smile, waved her hand and turned to leave.

When he finished brushing his teeth and came out, the culprit had already left. He looked at Xiao Lan who was sitting at the dining table, and asked, "Well, where is that sister?"

"Little Rin has a job, so she helped make breakfast and left." Mao Lilan ate with satisfaction, and then told Conan, "Her name is Xue Chuan Rin, and Conan can call her Sister Rin from now on, you know."

"Ahhh."

Conan responded vaguely, biting down the steaming lemon pie, which was hotter and softer than yesterday's, as if it had blossomed on his taste buds. He lowered his eyes and was in a good mood.

"By the way, Conan." Mao Lilan said, remembering something, "Father is going to Moon Shadow Island to investigate the case today, and we can go with him when the time comes."

"Aha?"

Conan Edogawa thought about it. A few days ago, his uncle did say that he received a phone call from a strange man and complained that the other party didn't ask him for his opinion.

"It's great." He still cheered.

"That's right, then we can visit that island by the way, and you can also catch some good insects." Mao Lilan said expectantly.

But he already caught several yesterday, he responded in his heart, but seeing Lan looking forward to it, he didn't say much, and nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, Lan is also in a super good mood today.

Yukikawa Rin, who had already arrived at the coffee shop, quickly changed into his work clothes and started his day's work.

The first guest this morning was a handsome black-haired young man. He was wearing a fur collar jacket that didn't match the season. Say hello.

"Yo, good morning, Ah Lin."

He pursed his lips and smiled, looking very happy.

It seems that he has observed some satisfied humans again. Yukikawa Rin glanced at it lightly, lowered his head and operated on the counter machine, and asked, "Excuse me, what would you like to eat?"

"Ah Lin, can you recommend it?" He leaned his head towards the machine, looking curious.

"I'll order the most expensive one." She backed away without raising her head.

"Would Ah Lin do that?" His eyes lightly fell on the girl.

"No."

"Ah, what a pity." He straightened up and picked up the displayed menu, "Then just order whatever you want, a glass of Roman Holiday, two chocolate muffins, and a tiramisu."

After a pause, he looked at Yukikawa Rin again, "Could it be Ah Rin who sent it here?"

"The total is 1700 yen, thank you." Yukikawa Rin did not answer, but continued to serve in a flat manner.

Orihara Rin also smiled deeply, and sat by the window after paying the money, just facing Yukikawa Rin.

"This guest has been staring at you, do you know him?" At the counter, a colleague asked Yukikawa Rin.

"I know." She glanced at the colleague who was about to deliver the meal, then stretched out her hand and said, "I'll deliver it."

The colleague nodded and handed her the meal.

When Yukikawa Rin walked over, Orihara Rin had already supported his face and showed his usual gentle and flat smile.

"Ah Rin." He smiled, looked at Xue Chuan Rin who put the meal on the table, and asked in a low voice, "Did the poison last time make you hallucinate?"

Her face was very flat, and she asked: "Is this the purpose of your coming?"

"Of course not." He quickly denied, "I just miss Ah Lin, and I came to see you."

Yukikawa Rin didn't say any more, after putting away all the meals, he lowered his body and said, "Your meals have been put away, please enjoy it slowly."

After saying this, she returned to the counter, her gaze never falling on him.

"Ah, a bad premonition." Orihara Rin whispered like this, with cold eyes.

This commission is very strange.

The commission letter received by Kogoro Mori was from a person who died 12 years ago. The person who prompted them to come to Tsukage Island was the person who killed his family and set fire to his house while playing the moonlight piano Pianist Keiji Aso died on the side of the sonata.

"A letter from a dead person?" Mori Kogoro looked at the letter in his hand that consisted of words clipped from various newspapers, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Who made such a joke with me?"

"I don't think this is a joke." Edogawa Conan said with certainty, "The client has already paid all the fees, and judging from the postmark, it was indeed sent from Moon Shadow Island. Someone must want to entrust Uncle investigates the matter of Keiji Aso."

"Yes, it is very likely that it was commissioned by Mr. Aso's friend." Mao Lilan proposed an idea, "Why don't we ask the village chief first, maybe we can find something new."

"Just now I heard that the village chief is at the community center..." Mori Kogoro looked at the route guide of Moon Shadow Island.

At this time, Mao Lilan happened to see a female doctor with her hair tied up, so she stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, how can I get to the community center?"

"Oh... just turn right ahead and go straight to the end." The female doctor enthusiastically pointed out the way, and when she saw them, she suddenly became excited and asked, "Are you from other places?"

"Well, we're from Tokyo."

"I'm also from Tokyo. You see, the environment on this island is much better than Tokyo, right? Not only is the air fresh..."

The female doctor was talkative, and in a few conversations, several people learned that her name was Asai Naomi, and this village was running for the village head election, and three of them would go to the community activity center where they were going, because tonight There, the second anniversary of Kameyama, the former village head who died two years ago, will be held there.

When they arrived at the community activity center, they saw the piano that Mr. Aso talked about before his death. At that time, some people said that it was a piano full of curses. However, as a detective who believed in science, Edogawa Conan played a few times directly, saying that it was nothing at all. special.

But at night, the murder happened.

On a lonely night, Yukikawa Rin, who finished work in the coffee shop, walked to the door of the house. The door lock was open. She sighed silently. When she entered the door, she was pressed hard on the door by a swift and fierce man. , followed by a chill on his neck, and under the moonlight, the blade became sharper.

Xue Chuanlin raised his eyes calmly, and looked at the person who came by without resistance. It was a handsome face, which looked quite refined, but the reddish-brown eyes were extremely inappropriate and full of jokes, with a high-spirited look in his eyes. feeling of contempt.

"It's really late for Ah Lin to come back." He said with a stern smile, the heat scattered between his words made people tremble, "I miss you so much."

"You crossed the line." She looked at him and said without any emotion.

The girl obviously had a very beautiful face, but it made him unable to please his eyes. Orihara Lin also turned a deaf ear to what she said, and just asked in a low voice.

"Why did you cut off contact?"

"The last time the poison contained some mind-controlling drugs." Xue Chuanlin's neck pain deepened, and a bit of blood spread in the dark air. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes were cold, and she asked, "Where are you?" Got it, and at that time, what did you hear?"

At that time, in the fading consciousness, another piece of consciousness seemed to be bound and caught in a strange scene.

"It's just an ordinary black market." He raised his eyebrows and became curious, "Then what did you see?"

Yukikawa Rin pursed his lips and remained silent, and did not answer. Orihara Rin just smiled lowly at this, and said frankly, "I heard that you, who are obviously in pain, have been calling someone's name."

Xue Chuanlin froze for a moment, his pupils trembling slightly.

"That person's name is... Kudo Shinichi."

With the sound of the moonlight song, the first murder on Moon Shadow Island happened.

Conan Edogawa looked at the deceased lying on the piano, and Mr. Kawashima, who was also one of the candidates for the village head this time, looked tense. At this moment, he understood the connection between the entrustment letter and Moon Shadow Island.

The "shadow fading" mentioned in the letter Uncle Maori received last week is actually a metaphor for "surrounded by light", and that "light" refers to this Beethoven's "Moonlight".

Twelve years ago, when the pianist Keiji Aso burned himself at home, he played this piece in the raging fire.

And two years ago, the former village chief died of a heart attack and played this song.

Now that the song "Moonlight" is played again, it can be seen that the letter is actually a notice of another death on Moon Shadow Island.

Thinking of this, Edogawa Conan's face became more serious, and he reached out and rubbed the broken hair on his forehead with an annoyed expression.

Damn, if I had thought of this earlier, maybe I could have prevented this from happening.

Enduring the emotions in his heart, he immediately guided Mouri Kogoro to discover the suspicious points of the murder case. After several deductions, he learned the crime method and the characteristics of the murderer.

Since it was getting late, the people in the venue began to disperse afterwards, and they had to go back to the hotel to rest first. On the way, he thought about the case repeatedly, and was suddenly startled when he recalled the contents of the letter.

Wait, that sentence in the letter [starts to fade away]...

Is that implying that this murderous tragedy is beginning to take place? !

"help me."

In the darkness, the young man said these two words calmly, under the girl's shocked gaze, he still smiled calmly and said.

"That night, what you said was... Kudo, save me."

What was she seeing in that drug-induced hallucination?

That was a scene that happened before. On the side of the road not far from the coffee shop, when she asked lightly and ironically if he liked her to deliberately distance the distance, the boy who should have said angrily that he would no longer contact him was different development.

With calm eyes, he took a step closer, brushed his hand over the corner of her eyes, and said somewhat dissatisfied and helpless.

"Idiot, your eyes..."

"Obviously they are asking for help from me."

The young man was as light as light, but extremely gentle, guiding her word by word.

"Xue Chuan, tell me, tell me, are you asking me to save you?"

"Do you want me to save your world full of sadness and despair?"

"As long as you respond, I will save you without hesitation."
