Yoruichi Toyama thought to himself that he should call Conan to see if he had received the invitation from Moonshadow Island.
After all, the murderers in this world are quite ambitious, and they like to commit crimes in front of famous detectives.
Compared to the sleeping Kogoro, what kind of famous detective am I?
Conan, who answered the phone, looked listless.
I wonder if the brief reversion to their original form before was a big blow to the child.
But when Conan heard Yoruichi Toyama's voice, he seemed to realize something.
"Oh, by the way, Ran and I are going on a trip with Uncle Kogoro next week..."
"Hmm?" Yoruichi Toyama immediately became alert. "You also have a request? Where are you going?"
“You used the word ‘also’…” Conan muttered before answering, “A strange person sent Uncle a letter, asking him to investigate Tsukikage Island in Izu…”
"Alright," Yoruichi Toyama sighed, feeling neither relieved nor nervous.
"In that case, we'll probably go together."
Conan was visibly startled: "Could it be..."
"Yes, I also received Keiji Aso's letter of request, 'On the night of the full moon, the shadow disappears.'"
"Then why did you say you 'might' go together?"
Yoruichi Toyama sighed helplessly.
Speaking of Shinichi Kudo's reasoning ability, it is naturally quite outstanding.
However, this young man's enthusiasm for the "incident" was just like Uncle Kogoro's enthusiasm for the "commission"—he was simply rushing forward without regard for anything else.
"Do you even know who this Keiji Aso is?"
"Taking on requests from strangers so casually, and in this kind of way..."
“However…” Conan hesitated before answering, “because someone just transferred a sum of money to Uncle Kogoro’s account yesterday, saying it was an advance payment for the commission, that’s why we decided to go to Moonshadow Island.”
Huh? Why don't I have any?
Is this such a double standard?
Yoruichi Toyama was complaining in her heart when her phone, which was on a call, suddenly vibrated twice.
He exited the call and glanced at the message; it was a bank transaction notification.
"Uh, I received it too... 500,000..."
...
It seems that Keiji Aso's son intends to use this method to forcibly invite the detective he has chosen to Tsukikage Island.
But Yoruichi Toyama did not want to grant him his wish.
Fortunately, Inspector Megure was very efficient this time, and called back in less than two days.
"That Keiji Aso was indeed a resident of Tsukikage Island, but he died 12 years ago..."
Yoruichi Toyama listened quietly as Inspector Megure recounted the tragedy from years ago, before finally asking, "Does the Aso family have any other relatives or descendants?"
"Yes, Keiji Aso has a son named Narumi. He wasn't on the island when his family was tragically killed. He was later adopted by relatives and is now known as Narumi Asai."
Yoruichi Toyama noticed that when Inspector Megure introduced Narumi Asai, he consistently pronounced "Narima" as "seiji".
In fact, this name has another pronunciation.
"So, this Asai Narumi, now..."
"According to our investigation, two years ago, when Asai Narumi graduated from medical school, a female doctor named Asai Narumi arrived on Tsukikage Island."
Yes, when used as a girl's name, "成实" is usually pronounced as narumi.
This Asai Narumi, the murderer who killed three people in the original work, is a genuine cross-dressing master.
Because of the two pronunciations of the name Narumi, people did not discover Asai Narumi's true identity until the killing in the name of revenge ended.
By then, it was too late to turn back.
However, it's not too late.
Inspector Megure seemed to guess what Yoruichi Toyama was thinking and continued, "We checked this Dr. Narumi Asai, and his age, school, and physical characteristics are completely consistent with Narumi Asai."
"But when we sent people to the island to question this person, we learned that she... uh, I should say 'he'... had already resigned and left."
"What?" Yoruichi Toyama was stunned by this sudden and unexpected news. "Then where did he go?"
"Nothing has been found yet..."
Asai Narumi, or Asai Narumi, is the person who sent the letter of authorization to Kogoro and Yoruichi Toyama.
Yoruichi Toyama can be certain of this.
Given that, he shouldn't abandon his revenge plan halfway through.
They left before the police could begin their investigation.
The most likely explanation is that, for the sake of caution, he abandoned his identity as the female doctor "Asai Narumi" and went deeper into the field.
It seems that this trip to Moonshadow Island is a must.
...
“Mr. Yoruichi Toyama, I’ll give you a chance to rephrase your words and say them again.”
When she said this, Akemi Miyano was not at the Owl Cafe, which also served as a detective agency, but at the house the two of them rented.
Therefore, her attitude was not as gentle and capable as usual, and the smile on her face had a threatening meaning.
Yoruichi Toyama couldn't help but cough. Just as she was about to step back, she spotted Taro watching the show on the sofa while holding a small dried fish, so she grabbed it and handed it to him.
"Um... how about we let Kotaro stay and keep you company too?"
[What? Host, you're not even taking me with you?]
Taro unexpectedly turned his head and let out a disgruntled meow at Yoruichi Toyama.
Helpless, Akemi could only take the cat, hold it in her arms, and pet it to comfort herself.
