"Never heard of it..."
He muttered one last thing and hung up the phone, leaving Yoruichi Toyama on the other end, staring at her phone and laughing inexplicably.
Did Young Master Mingzhi not realize that his earlier remark, "Never heard of it," already had a hint of a comedic interjection?
...
Perhaps the system thought Yoruichi Toyama was too relaxed, because before Hajime-chan's part-time job case was resolved, the detective agency received another request.
Mr. Mao, who was in charge of receiving and sending mail, looked excited, as if he was the only one who could get the commission.
"Mr. Toyama, look, this letter is from Izu... ah, from the Izu Islands!"
Is it Izu again? ...
Thinking about what happened on Golden Island, also known as Izu Gunkanjima, Yoruichi Toyama almost developed high-level PTSD.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that Gao Yuan should be planning the case involving Wu Gu Feng right now.
Even the most dedicated murderer wouldn't run around to two places at once.
Upon seeing the address on the envelope, the speculation became a certainty.
Izu, Tsukikage Island.
Moonshadow Island?!
Yoruichi Toyama stared at the line of text in surprise.
How come this case is only just beginning to happen? ...
If we were to select the top ten classic cases in the world of Detective Conan, Moon Shadow Island would definitely deserve a place.
After all, it was a case that Conan solved, but failed to rescue the murderer who was seeking revenge for his father from the fire, a case that he has always been troubled by.
If we could reverse the outcome of this case, wouldn't that greatly boost Conan's popularity? ...
Uh, it seems like Conan's side needs to receive this request first...
Yoruichi Toyama suddenly had a bad feeling.
It seems more likely that she'll have to take the blame for Conan...
While pondering, Yoruichi Toyama tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
On a blank sheet of paper, a few sentences are crookedly pieced together from newspaper clippings:
On the next full moon night, the shadows on Moonshadow Island will begin to disappear again. Please go and investigate.
Keiji Aso
...I hate you riddle people the most!
This is Yoruichi Toyama's first thought.
You said you could just type the threatening letter, since most people who receive threatening letters will call the police out of caution.
Then the police might compare the handwriting.
Your invitation, which is completely incoherent, would be a murder threat if it weren't for the spoilers.
Is it too late to compare handwriting after all the murders have occurred?
What's the point of all this ozone layer stuff?
Yoruichi Toyama cursed inwardly, and for a moment she even felt that the "Puppet Master of Hell" was still the most refreshing and otherworldly, who meant what she said when she said she would kill, unlike those seductive and despicable women...
Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey! ...
Why are you praising Gao Yuan?
This isn't PTSD, it's Stockholm Syndrome!
"Huh, Toyama-kun, what's wrong?"
Seeing Yoruichi Toyama's constantly changing expression, Mr. Mao asked her with concern.
"Is this request complicated?"
“No, not at all…” Yoruichi Toyama said, handing the letter to him and Akemi, while glancing at the address on the envelope again.
Yes, it's handwritten, and the handwriting is quite neat. It seems somewhat familiar.
However, since it is written in Japanese kanji, Yoruichi Toyama is not sure whether it is written by a Japanese person or not, it is probably similar.
There are no clues to be found in these places.
Moreover, Yoruichi Toyama was already quite familiar with this case.
...
Keiji Aso, who lives on Tsukikage Island, is a childhood friend of Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Hideo Kawashima, Isamu Kameyama, and Ken Nishimoto.
After they grew up, they all made significant achievements in their respective fields.
Keiji Aso became a renowned pianist and frequently toured overseas.
His partners, on the surface, cherished their friendship and often came to support him at the events, but in reality, they used this opportunity to smuggle drugs.
Relying on Keiji Aso's fame, they managed to hide the drugs in Aso's piano and get away with it.
After Aso learned of this, he completely broke ties with these people, which also triggered their idea of killing him to silence him.
The Aso family of three were locked inside the burning house and burned alive. Even at the end, the sound of piano music could still be heard coming from the fire.
Beethoven's piano sonata "Moonlight Sonata".
It was like a funeral procession for the Aso family.
Due to the collusion and testimony of Hei Yan and others, the police were ultimately unable to find out the real cause of the fire and hastily closed the case as a suicide.
However, the injustice suffered by the Aso family was not buried in the ground.
Keiji Aso had a son who was hospitalized due to illness, thus escaping the massacre of his entire family.
Twelve years have passed, and the boy has grown into a man, determined to seek revenge.
...
Yoruichi Toyama was aware of these things, but she couldn't tell others.
But it doesn't mean there's nothing you can do.
Before he could even pick up the phone, Mingmei had already looked up from the letter, her eyes shining.
"Brother Ye Yi, I'll go with you this time!"
"Meow! Meow meow meow!"
【Me too! Me too!】
The black cat nimbly jumped onto the table.
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but smile.
"Instead of rushing to Moonshadow Island, we should do something else first."
Under Mingmei's questioning gaze, he dialed the phone.
"Inspector Megure? It's me, Toyama... There's someone I'd like to ask you to investigate..."
After a few words, the call ended, and Yoruichi Toyama faced Akemi, Boss Shigeru, and even Taro's disdainful gaze.
