Chapter 005 is actually the world of science
Dong Yexi ran for a long distance before stopping. He clutched his chest and tried to calm his breathing, feeling vaguely guilty.
What if he helped spread the ghost story of the piano?
I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen, Dong Yexi thought.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
Dong Yexi was startled when someone suddenly spoke behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was Asai Narumi.
He scratched his head and covered it up: "Nothing, I was just running at night. Hahahaha~"
Asai Narimi was stunned when he saw Higashino Xi's face. He felt that his temperament seemed a little different from that during the day. However, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at the moment. He pursed his lips and said, "You... your name is Higashino Xi, right? I didn't have the chance to ask you during the day, how is Mr. Yasuda doing recently?"
Dong Yexi paused as he raised his hand.
He hasn't been to school or met his tutor since he came here. How can I know his current situation?
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm feeling fine (his voice was full of energy on the phone), I'm in a good mood (I have time to clean up the lab), and my research is progressing (I have new data to bring to you, senior). I just miss you a little. When he spoke of you, there was a hint of regret in his tone."
Asai Narimi lowered his head, staring blankly at the ground, and whispered, "I have failed the teacher's expectations."
Seeing him looking so dejected, Dong Yexi quickly consoled him, "Everyone has their own ideas, and supporting impoverished areas is noble!" He slapped his lips and said, "Actually, Yueying Island is pretty good too."
Asai Narimi looked up at him and suddenly smiled. He asked, "Aren't you curious why I dressed up as a woman?"
Hearing this, Dong Yexi said seriously, "This is a personal interest and hobby, I have no right to interfere. I think as long as it doesn't hurt others, you can do whatever you want. Of course, don't hurt yourself."
Asai Narumi smiled even more happily.
Dong Yexi didn't know what he was laughing at. He thought about it and thought: The senior must be happy that his hobby is recognized by others.
Then he added, "I think you have absolutely no need to worry. Society is very inclusive these days. For example, I came out to my classmates a few days ago, and the whole medical school probably knows about it by now."
Asai Narimi's smile froze. "Coming out?" She gave him a complicated look. "You like men?"
Dong Yexi nodded and said righteously: "I don't think this is shameful. My sexual orientation will not affect my professional ability. I also struggled for a long time, and finally decided to be my true self. I told my friends because I didn't want to hide it. If they can't understand, then there is no place for me in this world." These are all polite words. In fact, his real purpose is to publicize his sexual orientation to prevent the original owner's [Aquaman] attribute from backlash.
Asai Narumi wears women's clothes not because of his hobby, nor does he like men, but he still admires this junior.
He patted Dong Yexi's shoulder and encouraged him, "Come on, senior supports you!"
Dong Yexi smiled widely, and his eyes looked very affectionate under the moonlight.
Asai Narumi felt as if his heart was tickled by a cat's claw. He closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows, then opened his eyes and looked at Higashino Xi. The feeling just now disappeared again.
Asai Narumi thought he might be affected by the moonlight and didn't pay much attention to it. He asked, "What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
Dong Yexi: "The boat ticket is at ten o'clock."
Asai Narimi nodded: "I'll go see you off."
"Okay. How about coming back with me to see our mentor?" Dong Yexi suggested.
Asai Narimi smiled slightly and said, "Not these few days, I have something else to do."
Dong Yexi said regretfully: "Oh, well, let's wait until later."
Asai Narumi lowered his eyes and looked at the palm of his hand.
If I have a future.
After saying goodbye to Asai Narumi, Higashino Hiroshi returned to the hotel. When he finished taking care of himself and lay down on the bed to prepare for sleep, his personal panel suddenly popped up and the taskbar was updated.
【Upcoming Event】：Yueying Island was attacked and killed
[Weapon]: 10cm pointed knife
Cause of death: Excessive blood loss
[Suspects]: Ken Nishimoto, Hideo Kawashima, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, Kazuaki Hirata, Narumi Asai
[Death Countdown]: 23:59:59.59
Dong Yexi sat up in shock from his dying illness.
Holy shit! He's going to be stabbed to death! There are actually five suspects this time! And...why is the senior also a suspect?!
The shock was so great that he could hardly accept it all at once.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
Stay calm, don't panic, let's study their "motive for murder" first.
He clicked on the suspects' names one by one.
[Ken Nishimoto]: An unemployed vagrant who once partnered with Kawashima Hideo, Kuroiwa Tatsuji, and Kameyama Isamu in drug trafficking. Today, he and Kawashima Hideo were arguing about Keiji Aso. You happened to be passing by, and he suspected you had overheard their conversation, becoming very anxious.
[Kawashima Hideo]: A wealthy businessman on Tsukikage Island, he's a drug trafficker alongside Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Hirata Kazuaki. Today, he mentioned Aso Keiji during an argument with Nishimoto Ken. You happened to be passing by, and he suspects you overheard their conversation, leading him to murder you.
[Kuroiwa Tatsuji]: The current village chief of Tsukikage Island, a drug trafficker in partnership with Kawashima Hideo and Hirata Kazuaki. He has no prior experience with you.
Hirata Kazuaki: The current secretary of Tsukikage Island's village chief, he's a drug dealer alongside Kuroiwa Tatsuji and Kawashima Hideo. Today, he saw you through the piano room window and became alarmed by the suspicion that Keiji Aso's ghost was appearing.
Asai Narimi: Formerly known as Asai Narimi, he is a doctor on Tsukikage Island and the son of Keiji Aso. He is deeply troubled by the prospect of your presence ruining his plans.
After reading everyone's "motives for murder," Dong Yexi was a bit stunned. There was so much information in there, he needed to sort it out carefully.
First, the former and current village chiefs of Tsukikage Island are both involved in drug trafficking, and have dragged in the wealthy and the secretary; second, Aso Keiji's death is closely related to them, and it is reasonable to suspect that it is also related to drug trafficking; finally, the senior is Aso Keiji's son, and he is planning something. It is possible that he knew the cause of his father's death and wanted to take revenge.
The senior had graduated two years ago and had chosen to take up his post on Moon Shadow Island. The sudden death of the previous village chief two years earlier might have been related to him.
Higashino Hiko didn't want to think too badly of Asai Narumi, but now his own life was in danger and his senior was still one of the suspects, so he could only look at the matter objectively.
If the senior is planning to implement his revenge plan in the near future, then he, who knows the senior's true gender, is a hidden danger. In order to successfully implement the plan, the senior is likely to eliminate him.
However, Asai Narumi met him tonight and confirmed that he would leave the island tomorrow morning, so he probably wouldn't make another move.
Eh?
Thinking of this, Dong Yexi suddenly discovered a bug.
The countdown indicated his death would be tomorrow night, on Moon Shadow Island. But he was supposed to leave by boat tomorrow morning? If he could leave before the deadline, wouldn't he be able to escape death? Or were there other factors preventing him from leaving the island?
Dong Yexi thought about it for a long time but couldn't be sure whether this was a bug, so he simply lay down again.
Regardless, he still had to go to the dock tomorrow to test it out. If he could leave the island directly, then he wouldn't have to think of any other solutions.
Although there seemed to be plenty of time, the countdown was ticking rapidly, like a shaky knife hanging around his neck, irritating his nerves.
Dong Yexi: Isn’t it just a hanging knife? He will be killed by the knife tomorrow!
The next day, Dong Yexi woke up and turned into a giant panda. He tossed and turned all night, and even slept for a while. He even dreamed that he was being chased. He was completely depressed, and even the effect of [Using Beauty to Attack] couldn't save him.
Before going out, he remembered to put on the [Immortal Item] first, but even so, it could not hide his fatigue.
When they arrived at the dock, Asai Narimi saw that he looked listless and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Dong Yexi yawned and covered it up by saying, "Yeah, I'm a bit picky about my bed."
Asai Narumi found that his temperament seemed different from last night.
It must have been affected by the moonlight.
He smiled and said, "The hotel conditions on the island are indeed average. I should have invited you to sleep over at my place."
Dong Yexi shook his head: "You are a girl in the eyes of the islanders. If I live with you, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out." Besides, the senior is one of the suspects. If I live with him, wouldn't that be like sending food to my doorstep!
Asai Narumi's eyes softened.
The two stood at the dock and waited for a while, then they saw the outline of the ship.
Asai Narimi looked at the thick fog on the sea, frowned and said, "Why does it feel like the fog is getting thicker?"
Dong Yexi's heart skipped a beat.
No way? Could this be the reason he couldn't leave the island?
He prayed silently in his heart: "The boat will sail soon! The fog will clear soon! Please let him leave here quickly!"
However, his prayers had no effect.
As soon as the ship docked, they received a notice that due to heavy fog at sea, all sailings today were cancelled for travel safety and the ticket money would be refunded.
Higashino Xi: ...I really will thank you!
Does he care about money? He cares about life!
Asai Narimi was slightly taken aback, then his expression quickly changed. He smiled and said, "It seems you can't leave today. Do you want to stay at my place?"
Dong Yexi shook his head frantically: "No, I'd better go to that hotel!" He didn't dare to sleep in his house!
However, this directly proves that there is no bug in the task notification and the information above is correct.
The boat finally stopped at the shore, and several tourists actually got off it.
"I was so scared! We ran into thick fog at sea. I thought we wouldn't make it," complained a man in a suit and a mustache. "It's all because of that letter of commission. I wasted my wonderful vacation."
"Don't say that, Dad. The environment of this island is quite good." said the long-haired girl next to him.
She was accompanied by a little boy wearing glasses, a blue suit, and a red bow tie. The boy said, "Uncle is just drinking and watching TV at home. Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Dong Yexi looked over at them, frowning slightly. He felt that these people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. But he had no memory of the original owner.
After the little boy finished speaking, he was beaten by the man with a mustache.
"Sure you keep your mouth shut!" the man said angrily.
"Ah!" The little boy covered his head in grievance.
"Dad!" The girl immediately squatted down, touched the little boy's head and asked, "Are you okay, Conan?"
The little boy smiled and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm fine."
Dong Yexi felt like he was struck by lightning.
Conan? Ran? Oh, this, this... He's actually been transported to the world of "Detective Conan"!
